Maybe just don’t use a screen protector at all. I get the appeal of getting that day-one attach sale, but this really seems like a miss. If I were Zagg, I’d probably just pull this thing from the market. Perhaps Samsung could just make one itself? Easy $30 in the pocket. Making a curved glass screen protector at an appealing price is probably a challenge that would put a lot of these Amazon-based accessory companies out of business, so it might be awhile until there’s an ideal solution. Verizon has its own glass screen protector it also only sticks to the S8 at the edges, but hey, it’s slightly cheaper. Older glass screen protectors could only adhere to the flat part of the glass screen, creating the halo effect and eventual issues with dust and grime bring trapped under the edges of the screen. You’re probably better off with the more traditional (and significantly cheaper) film-based InvisibleShield for the S8, or a different plastic screen protector from Amazon that adheres to the entire surface of the phone. This Edge to Edge screen protector is the first of its kind to fully bend the tempered glass along the edge of the glass screen. Feedback on user forums has been consistently bad, and the product’s rating has already bombed to hell on Best Buy’s website. Ive tried two cheap generic brands of Tempered Glass and they all seem to have the same halo effect and its really annoying to look at.
(might not be compatible with some of the rugged cases that are designed to cover on top of the screen) Ultra-clear with 99. As a safety fanatic I bought a tempered glass screen protector and Ive come to notice that theres a halo/ghost ring effect on the phone.

The entire thing is clear, but it only sticks to the phone at the sides, leaving that unwanted air gap. Brand: amFilmColor: BlackFeatures: Specifically designed for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus 2017, Full Screen, Case Friendly Coverage, and Easy Installation Guaranteed. Unfortunately, Zagg / InvisibleShield took this kind of approach with the $50 Galaxy S8 screen protector. That reduces touch sensitivity and can detract from the screen’s quality.
It creates the appearance of edge-to-edge protection, but it also creates an air gap between your phone’s screen and the screen protector. Companies have tried a few ideas to resolve this some screen protectors have color-matched bezels with adhesive only on the perimeter of the glass and not on the display area. No.īecause when they try to do that, they usually fail and leave an ugly “halo” around the entire phone’s border where the screen protector’s adhesive isn’t fully sticking to the device. In these instances, you’ll find a lot of screen protectors try to cover the display area only and stop short of providing edge-to-edge coverage. Even when the displays themselves aren’t curved, phone makers often curve the glass slightly at the sides for a more ergonomic feel. Don’t get ripped off.įirst, some background: curved smartphone screens have proven to be a real pain for Zagg and the dozens of companies on Amazon (that sell way cheaper tempered glass protectors) for some time now. I've fiddled about with my fair share of glass screen protectors for mostly flat-screened phones (though Samsung has that subtly curved glass on the Note 4 and later that results in an annoying 'halo' effect with most flat glass protectors), and Whitestone has blown them all away right off the bat. It will likely be one of their recommended add-on purchases when you walk in to buy the phone. But more importantly, it’s just not very good. I live in Singapore where it is hard to find tempered glass screen protectors which do not have halo effects.
Paying $50 for a piece of glass that sticks to your phone is objectively stupid. Take this as something of a PSA for those of you who obsess over keeping your phone scratch-free: avoid the $50 InvisibleShield glass screen protector for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
