Best Glass Screen Protector for the S8 and S8+...Installation Was Simple!
Wow! This is best screen protector I've ever had on any phone with a curved edge. DO NOT WORRY about the installation. If you can read directions and take the time to watch a couple of videos, you will do fine. It was relatively simple and I had no problem with the see-saw method. The two things that you want to remember are (1) make sure that the table you're working on is completely level by putting some water on your phone screen and rocking it back and forth, and (2) make sure you use a power plug for the UV light that has at least a 1 amp output (like ALL current phone chargers). The edges are perfect because the glue goes all the way and creates a smooooth lip. The sensitivity is perfect, and there are no grid dots or color halos in the sun. And best of all...there are NO BUBBLES to mess with. This is the ONLY glass screen protector that I would recommend for the S8 or the S8+.I had the Zagg Sapphire Glass screen protector ZAGG InvisibleShield Sapphire Defense Hybrid Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus before this and it was junk. It would not lay flat at the bottom (it kept popping up even without a case) and the edges were so far from the screen edges that I wouldn't even call it a curved piece of glass.UPDATE February 2018: It was inevitable! I was trying to slip my phone back into my front pocket and I missed. My phone fell to the ground, screen side down, onto the sidewalk and right on a small rock. My screen shattered into multiple fragments! Or did it? It turns out the this screen protector did its job perfectly. I ordered a replacement on Amazon (without the UV light). Once it arrived, I slowly pealed off the broken screen protector. Despite being shattered, it came off in one piece and left NO RESIDUE behind! I am completely thrilled with this product. So please take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. If you can follow the directions, this is the best screen protector for the S8 and S8+.

AMAZING PRODUCT!!!
Just received my whitestone dome glass. I got tired of wasting money on screen protectors just to have them pop off!! I heard about this one and ordered it. I made sure I watched the you tube video of the installation 2 or 3 times just to make sure I knew what I was doing. Arrived on time (next day LOVE amazon prime). Install from start to finish only took about 30 minutes. VERY EASY install if you watch video and pay attention. Looks AMAZING on the phone. Had to clean up a little adhesive on the back of the phone, no biggie. Had one tiny air bubble and used the plastic pin to "push it" toward the top of the phone and it came right out. I am waiting 24 hours to put a case on, but so far this is amazing! Looks like you don't have anything on the phone, doesn't interfere with touch. Just simply amazing. This is the only screen protector I will ever buy. Thanks Whitestone for making something truly amazing for the curved screen displays. I was actually going to give up my s8 plus and find something with a flat screen if I couldn't find a screen protector!!!! So, don't be intimidated, set everything out and just take your time. You will not be disappointed.

Very Pleased with Final Result for Samsung S8+!
Very pleased with finished result on my Samsung S8+. Install was a bit problematic as the 1st time resulted in many bubbles on the very bottom of the screen. However on the 2nd install I adjusted and pushed the bubbles out. This did end up causing slight decrease in adhesive and edges on two corners to not be as flush as the rest. But overall great product. Not for the faint of heart. The key is to just keep working it before using the UV light. I could have given up numerous times but I was determined to make it work. Glad I did because now my phone looks and feels amazing while being protected.There were a few scratches on the glass after washing the adhesive off from the 1st install. I was worried they would show after final install. But the adhesive filled in all scratches on the glass and came out great. I would recommend this product for the Samsung S8/S8+.

Watch the video and do a dry-run. Installation was fine!
We watched the video twice. Give yourself time for the installation, don't be in a hurry. I used blue painter's tape to protect the connections at the bottom and top. We laid out the supplies (set up a timer, just like in the video), and did a dry-run to make sure we understood the instructions.There was just one slight mishap--the screen dropped onto the liquid unexpectedly and caused a bubble at the bottom. Thought we'd have to remove, clean up, and start all over again. But we were able to move the screen around, and worked out the bubble. Continued on with the installation, clean screen, UV lights. The surface is smooth once again! In some lighting, you can still see the thin cracks, but overall, it looks perfect!Love the good quality installation tools: template, extra adhesive, UV light stand and USB, etc. Hang onto the kit, because if you crack the screen again, you can just buy the screen. The phone repair shops said it would cost $350 to repair the S8+ cracked screen -- we paid only $35 because it was Prime Day!Thanks, Whitestone!

Great look installed...weak glass...no glass warranty
When I first installed this I really loved how it looked. The liquid fills in quite well and makes the finish look as if the phone doesn't have a screen protector on it. I don't have any problems with the phone detecting my fingers. The edges could be a little more beveled since there is quite an edge to it. My phone case had to be trimmed down around the glass because it was pushing up on the glass and causing it to lift off the screen. I'm using a spigen case. The glass broke once on me and I had to order a new glass kit. Their warranty doesn't cover broken glass like others do. After my second one was on I found another crack in the screen. I don't think I even dropped it that time. If this company would provide stronger glass and include a warranty like others do then they would receive a 5 star rating from me.
