try getting x-one stealth armor. it covers the whole screen until side & the back too. i've been using this sp since day 1 until today with no issue. so far all 3 cases that i bought (spigen rugger armor, samsung alcantara & samsung protective standing cover) has no problem with this sp too

have a question regarding tempered glass for our note 8

any one of you manage to buy one that cuts off the display a little bit?

since most of the tempered glass nowadays do come with black coating around the edges (i suspect its to hide away the halo effect)


on the oneplus 5t, even the official tempered glass cuts the screen of by 1-3 pixels (or so it seems) according to reviews

just wondering if its the same for the note 8

sorry to say, curved screen protector, is really different league. Just like a curved screen replacement gonna cost u 1 thousand. When u wasted 50-80 ringgit for a few times, u can actually get a whitestone dome where u will totally satisfied with the product.

I came from rm89 neo flex, then a PET type, then finally whitestone dome. The screen is just like ur phone screen. If u use some ciplak screen protector, and u see some shit dot matrix, rainbow, halo and cover up the edge shit and more shit on the s-pen sensitivity bla bla hassle u gonna go thru, then why u wan pay so much for a phone which the display is the main selling point? alot of people went thru this shit and eventually settled down with whitestone dome, by that time they oledi paid more than the whitestone dome.

Come on, u buy a phone for 4k, u wann skimp on protection? might as well leave it naked, u enjoy the phone screen more. WHitestone dome feeling is 99% like a naked screen in terms of smoothness, sensitivity, clarity, period.

That's why ZAGG come out with their new solution but also costly. Maybe ppl don give much shit about the phone will just live with the sucky screen protector that give u halo and such, i saw my colleague using a phone but the screen protector edge is like lifting around the 2.5d corner, utterly horrendous, but he can live with it.

Up to u bro, i just can say, u get what u paid for.

ofcuz you get top quality for the price you pay

but not everyone can DIY the SP even though the brand themselves gave you the best kit in the package

so if rely on someone else and that staff does not help to stick properly, end up will still have bubble on your RM200 tempered glass. lol

but thanks for the suggestion.. i will consider this as long as i can get some assurance from the seller first that he'll stick it nicely for me if not i wont pay laugh.gif

as i said before, either go whitestone or go naked. this is curve glass, only whitestone can do it prefect for now. You're willing to pay more for the phone, whitestone should be affordable also. Most of the cheap (<RM100) TG are plastic, there are may dot matrix on the screen, some got rainbow effect, some got response issue. I myself already kena 1 time with cheap TG, I would rather use it naked now. You can wait for Whitestone promo, but it's pretty rare. Last month got RM159 discount, I didn't buy either.
*
i would buy if i dont have shaky hands

despite them giving the plastic kit

im confident i'll still screw it up due to my shaky hands laugh.gif

thats why i need someone to help me do it haha

you are using whitestone? or naked now?

naked. I want to try my luck lol. With Spigen liquid air, I think I'm pretty safe to drop the phone on flat surfaces.

yeah, that Hao, I've posted a youtube clip that Taiwanese complaint Hao may falsely advertise their product. It's super easy to crack, and still sell for high price.
wow, that's fast. I still remember when you failed.

seems like only lazada is selling the whitestone dome

You can try cheaper alternative like cyclone tempered glass...make sure you got the adhesive one.... this is full adhesive type with dot matrix (Very small unless you look for it)

i'll take a look

my friend told me on the day i buy he'll introduce me a "good" one as long as im willing to pay

not sure if it'll be really good or not lol but lets see

Lazada - Dome glass

Places order 3/1/2018..today received. Less 10 day to arrived.

Silly mistake, forgot top case to put on bottom case.
Put glass on phone, end up glass over shoot 1 cm below screen

Pull out the glass from screen, then thousand crack

Me like WTF.jpeg
*
you mean during the installation process?

you terbalik the boxes? hmm.gif

but the installation seems on-point from the videos i watched

the tempered glass will fit in perfectly without hassle right? no need to worry if its off place a bit

as the box will make sure it all fits perfectly


but i read somewhere the adhesive glue MIGHT leak out onto the phone?

and someone over-wiped their alcohol swab on the phone (midnight black) and the paint came off sweat.gif

not sure if it'll happen or not hmm.gif


anyway, what is the purpose of the UV light from whitestone dome package?

to dry off the glue?

hmm i may consider to go naked on the phone screen laugh.gif

seems like majority of the tempered glass (including the whitestone dome) affects most of the common cases

and will eventually affect the dome glass as well hmm.gif

i installed whitedome bought for RM139 from lazada last months. All i can say is this is the best TG for note8.

Was considered to get hao5D and almost reach their shop in cheras, luckily i saw this thread and read a lot of negative review for it. Terus balik rumah.

I also bought a cheapo RM25~ case in lazada. and it was perfect fit with whitedome. Feeling awesome. The case also looks really slick
*
mind sharing the case link?

though i'd prefer if i can just use a normal TPU case along with it (assuming if not going naked and buy the whitestone dome laugh.gif )

Bro, before u came out with such conclusion, please check the whitestone dome compatiblity list over xda or u can search it in youtube. Spigen neo hybrid, spigen rugged armor, spigen ultra hybrid s, samsung clear view cover, samsung alcantara (i just installed for few days), all this casing has no problem. In contrary, there is only a few cases that has problem with whitestone dome. i believe u never did read or even do research, please do some before u said so. i have tried so many cases and the only thing that cannot fit is gear vr, which need to modify abit at gear vr connector, other than that all casing i tried worked flawlessly.

the whitestone dome adhesive will grow stronger so it wont be easily lifted after a few weeks of usage.
*
i did actually lol

saw the guy posting case compatibility on youtube when he applied the TG

but most of the case are not up to my liking despite it being compatible

even tried to search if a simple TPU case is compatible.. seems like in his video using spigen TPU case, its compatible but still not the transparent one (i think transparent one isnt compatible as its thicker at the corners)

Actually alot of slim case is able to use on dome glass, i use the dome glasd 3rd day, LOL i really wonder where the finger print hide on dome glass,  my transparent foc case from samsung also full of finger print but the dome stil look super clean
If u wan transparent soft case i recommend u get Nillkin soft tpu , cheap and full corner scratch protection happy.gif
*
yea considering the nillkin

seems like the only wise + safe choice if buying with the whitestone dome.. LOL

full corner means it will not affect the corner when applied?

means i can take out anytime and clean the back glass?

cuz one thing i know about TPU case is it'll also become a little loose after some time and dusts or small dandruff issue (if u have like me) will eventually go into the back of the phone laugh.gif


so nillkin case like this will be compatible with the whitestone dome? nod.gif

purchased a full glue tempered glass for RM45 from an online seller. perfect sensitivity and clarity. tried more than 3 screen protector /tempered glass before that.

strongly recommend to get full glue instead of HAO or Dome. more economical with same results

link to the TSP? haha

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Jan 11 2018, 07:29 AM)
Get it from here, more cheap

https://shopee.com.my/visiongadgetry/558482486 , but clear tpu will turn yellow no matter how exp, my ringke on note5 also turn yellow
That why i get the black tpu

https://shopee.com.my/ckystore/485235644

ahh thanks! nod.gif

i saw some nice cases on lazada though, it does not provide major drop protection but its thin enough to be used with whitestone dome it seems

anyway, do you know anywhere that sells spigen cases? like a lot of them to choose from. lol

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Jan 11 2018, 07:56 AM)
All this transparent case will turn yellowish after awhile.

yes i know bout the yellow TPU

haha my note 5 now the TPU already yellow

but no point maintaining already since upgrading over the weekend rclxm9.gif

Just get the spigen case from skurazz if u need he service, he is a very nice person and deal without problem with him since my iphone4 , note2 , note 5 , iphone7plus , only my note8 didnt deal with him because he doesnt carry dome glass
Yup, 1 is default, did u guys set to 0.5 ? The 0.5 definite more faster load because the delay of animation
