Read all the post in this thread regarding tempered class and screen protector. Here is a small conclusion:

1) Dont use tempered class on note 8 cause it will spoil the user experience
2) Using cheap tempered class because all tc/SP are the same
3) Whitestone dome user - good review so far but expensive
4) X-one - mix of review - some have screen sensitivity issue, edge lift up
5) HAO - mix of review - dust and sensitivity issue.

If you are using tempered class, please copy/reply this post with your answer and comments on how is your experience so far with the SP in term of  sensitivity, dust, and etc and what tempered class you use?
*
Using Whitestone Dome.

My experience so far:
The glass :
- Feel so good and slippery when swiping with your finger and S Pen
- It doesn't fully cover the edge of the screen like 2mm there

The installation :
- You will need to be aware that they mention to have additional glue being included so be prepared that it will leak out
when you put down the glass (Seal off some part like headphone hole and speakers)
- Mine lucky as it leaked on the right side below power button there.

The CON :
- For me, due to the glue between the TG and original screen, you might find that dust particar will start collecting around the edges which noticable during under the sunlight or if u r peaky.
- So some cleaning work might need to perform every week for me since i'm a perfectioninst

Overall, I like this TG and still waiting my Spigen Ultra Hybrid S to come
Now using the clear case included inside the package.

1) some how agree but not all, depend on the tempered class that you get
2) not all, depend on the tempered class that you get
4) not agree, depend on individual

one of the point that i raise here is that all the SP/TP for curve screen phone
if your installation not >95% accurately install and case not so compatible with it
then you for sure will complain, sometimes it is not because the SP/TP itself not good or bad
*
But then most of the famous like spigen and zagg all using side only adhesive
Middle really doesnt provide anything but small gap <--- this lead to sensitive issue

Even ppl installed with 100% accuracy with those guide tools also facing the problem.
With the only side adhesive, the TG tends to pop out easily

Great review there. Is it easy to wipe of the excess glue when it leaks out on the headphone hole and speakers etc?
Second, can you help do a second installation?    tongue.gif
*
I didn't use tape to seal those holes before i did the installation but i do aware of the issue

After first curing, take out the phone from the guide box and check any excessive glue outside
Using alcohol wipe can wipe those glue away easily (They give you 3 pack but do prepare own one just in case)

You can do second installation IF you haven't cure the glue using UV light (They give 2 glue)

But some ppl mention they lift up the Tempered glass and clean off those adhesive using oil and alcohol, after that they redo the process and like new one biggrin.gif

using since it was launched december last year.. it's now my daily watch... no issues with the watch so far.. ample of watch faces to download and heard there will be a major update to TIZEN 3.0 soon.. average usage is about 2-3 days before needed to be charged. since it uses wireless charging, it's convenient to charge it but it also means you need to carry the small little charging dock if you will be out of town for more than 3 days..

Or should i wait for Gear S4 ? Haha ..

My luck on techie thing always bad.

Dun wan later purchase liao GS4 announced, GS3 price drop significantly =.=

haha... samsung just release gear sport which looks like a twin frontier.. have not reach MY yet
http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-sport/

the price of GS3 still hover below 10-20% of the RRP..  i feel it's a good buy (for me la) and the straps can buy quite cheap on lazada, quality is ok too...
and for the ultimate chick magnet... u can use samsung pay on GS3 ... imagine paying with your watch leh... downside is that u won't get points thru GS3
*
Woot? The main part of samsung pay is the points ! Lol...

Now this downside turn me down totally XD
I thought can gain points

So i cannot tahan without a casing since my Spigen delivery so late and I need it by this week for my travelling.

I bought a Spigen rugged casing from maxis and slap with my white stone dome screen protector

Review:
The casing fit so well with the White stone dome and pushing each side edges will not lift up or bump to the screen protector.
However, there is totally no gap between the casing and screen protector so a perfect installment is required i guess.

Now there's one problem ...
Anyone interest in buying Spigen Ultra Hybrid S? hahahaha
It will be arriving this week, darn...

I guess the best TG still the whitestone dome, i considering full body clear coat too, but doubt the quality comparable to whitestone or not, price are equal...

Whitestone = one go damage RM199 no need change

Other brand which doesn't full adhesive might lift up if not careful, either replacement or dirty.

me too, please don compare note 8 and s8 curve screen to those early stage note edge or s6 edge, those edge products are experimental product. The edge is really unconvincing, but for s8 onwards, it is really pretty and the infinity display is what makes it stand out from others. u put a mate 10 pro beside note 8, confirm mate 10 kalah teruk in terms of looks.
*
True, i dunno why but curve does looks sexy in term of viewing biggrin.gif

Though the side edge there still black border but with advance tech, i'm sure next time will be totally full biggrin.gif

Better than most phones really. The looks is part of the reason you buy anyway. Also the curve screen is way better than having a notch haha

Lol... watch Unbox Therapy on the latest "how to remove notch on iphone X"

Kinda scam actually that app
