Anyone Else with galaxy note 8 with a Zagg glass curve screen protector have issues with screen sensitivity, especially in corners. Do you live with it?
The only issue that I have had with the Zagg is the unexplained crack on the left side about 2/3 of the way down. As posted in another thread, it ran across the screen over time. The good news is that Zagg has a lifetime replacement warranty for $9.99 (S&H). I never saw any issues with the corner sensitivity and I do like the glass. I'm using a Outterbox case. I you are having issues, contact Zagg and they will send you another one but they do ask that you send the current one back in most cases.Anyone Else with galaxy note 8 with a Zagg glass curve screen protector have issues with screen sensitivity, especially in corners.

Hey BRG, which case are you using? You are the 4th person I have heard of that has issues with the unexplained crack on the left side. Not sure if it's just such a tight fit that any "flex" of the phone, no matter how small, is cracking the screen protector. I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a good screen protector for the Otterbox case (as opposed to the design of the phone).Like Duckster, I have had the unexplained crack starting on the left side of the screen. I went online for a warrantee replacement and the new Curve Elite, which is supposed to be more sensitive and have a gel adhesive instead of the simple sticky back, was a choice for only $5.99 S&H.

I have a few more to try, but I definitely want to get my hands on the Whitestone and give that a try if my cheaper options don't work. I have 2 more to try.
I may have to give up the Otterbox because most reviews say that the case and most screen protectors don't play well together.
On my Otterbox Defender (which oh by the way has dropped from $59.95 to $25), the Note 8 fits in there so tight that some of the other screen protectors that I have tried have pushed up creating a bubble in the middle, that reduces sensitivity. Without the case, they all seem to work fairly well. This is why I'm thinking about changing cases as well. Just about all of the original high priced Note 8 accessories have decreased in price and are getting fair to weak reviews here of late. I know some folks here haven't had many issues, but I'd like to hear from some of them again and which case that they are using.I have the Otterbox TPU clear case. It doesn't get anywhere near the edge of the Zagg, so I don't think its the case. I believe I want to change to a new case, but I use the wireless charger and I would like one that I don't have to remove to use the charger. If you run across anything that might match those criteria, let me know.
I read mixed reviews on the whitestone, let me know what you find out with it. I am looking forward to giving this Zagg Curve Elite a shot. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks BRG. My BIGGEST fear is how it will work with the OtterBox Defender case. I'm very much looking for something better. I have tried about 5 different screen protectors and so far, they have all eventually failed due to the case. I really need to find a nice, protective case (not cute or just attractive)! Until then, I'm hesitant to put the new Zagg on. Are you still using the Otterbox TPU clear case?Congrats Duck!!
I love my new one thus far. No corner issues and the screen just looks better. I guess because there isn't any air between the glass protector and the display glass. Take your time installing it, it can be a bit tedious.

Just for grins, have you tried this again without the Otterbox Defender case for a while? I had issues only with the case on. Without it, just about every screen protector that I have tried has worked well. This leads me to believe that the case is still somehow pushing up on the sides and creating the desensitized areas on the screen. If you do remove the case to try it, please press down on the glass screen protector and rub it for a while to make sure that it is flat.However, I still experience some screen 'Lack of Reception' in the very upper right of screen and in the lower left bottom third of screen.
Another screen sensitivity issue has developed in Email. Selecting emails for deletion, at times I have to scroll UP the screen to a different part of the phone to be able to check the box, weird and annoying.
Still on the fence about the zagg, BUT, after the fall the phone screen was ok and as someone else mentioned in this thread...I to do not like naked expensive phones. Keep you posted.
Oh, and Love the Otterbox Defender, just wish Otter could somehow incorporate an 'In Case Stand'.

Yeppers. I'm still looking for a better case so that I can have a screen protector. As it is now, nothing works with this Otterbox Defender (for me at least) in terms of a screen protector. I had to make a choice for the time being; to protect the phone or to protect the screen. Right now I'm protecting the phone until I find a case that suites me. I'm just not interested in a 'cute' case. I need something a bit more rugged. I like the Defender, but it just doesn't' seem to work well with any screen protector. If you find a case that works well, let me know.
Wow! My head is still spinning! There are A LOT of choices there! I have never heard of them but I couldn't find where it was written if there are any compatibility issues with a glass screen other than using their own. The last one with the built in charger looked interesting! Thanks for sharing.Duckster have you tried a 'Punk Case'? I just found the case/company today going through my Instagram account and the add popped up. I'm doing some more investigating. www.punkcase.com. I'll keep you posted.

Hey guys. So I bought my note 8 in November and since then I gave gone through 5 Zagg screens. The first one fell, the second my daughter cracked. And no kidding, the last 3 replacements have cracked as I applied them. I'm super gentle and put it on as easily as I can just for them to crack. Does anyone else have this issue? Or what other screen protector do you use. Please help. Thank you
