This is scary. A splash shouldn't be a problem given that s8 supposed to be IP68. Samsung better have a good explanation for this

At least can still charge using fast wireless charger which is still fine

Hey guys, after a sick night of research on SPs on LYN, Amazon and Taobao
I found these.
Thin Film - Thin, Clear, easily-scratchable, Little to no protection
Tempered glass - Smooth, smash protection, scratch-resistant, easily fell off (due to adhesive only at the edges)
"Wet" Film - Rubbery, draggy surface, minimum protection, "self-healing" scratch resistant, rainbowy screen.

I did not mention about

What I want is just clear (no rainbow, no matte), smooth surface (gaming) and scratch resistant. Screen protection and fingerprint is nothing of my concern but there doesn't seem to be some middle ground here. I'm leaning towards the "wet" films for scratch resistant but some said it's draggy which it's bad for gaming.

Any thoughts here? what's your recommendations? (My S8 Plus is coming today!  rclxm9.gif )

Tempered glass + apply clear coat on top of it and all body. U get TG protection with naked + anti scratch protection. Lifetime warranty too instead of buying super expensive TG

it still has to be reasonable. Rm290. what.
Wow. RM149 + RM100, that's a pretty awesome deal. Anyone's on this? I might get this.
Wait. you mean TG + Clear coat? How do I do that? You put TG then clear coat it? :confused:
But curved TG fell off easily. Rm290 for a TG is kind of a ripoff.

Correct. Apply tempered glass then do clear coat at mobile outfitters. This was actually recommended by their own staff. They will apply the clear coat on top of the tempered glass so the end result would be seamless. You get both protection now since normal clear coat alone won't give you screen shatter reduction and applying tempered glass on top of clear coat will result in stickyness problem.
