I have progressed from a galaxy S6 edge to a galaxy S7 edge to now a galaxy S8 plus. Starting with the S6 edge through the S7 edge I have played with a wide range of tempered glass screen protectors with absolutely no success.
Most of them did not fit properly and were far from case friendly. In fact I have made disparaging posts regarding tempered glass protectors in the past.
The ones that did fit had rainbow effects and simultaneously loss of sensitivity at different parts of the screen.
Practically all of them used adhesive along the edges only resulting in relatively insecure adhesion and insufficient contact with the screen. This also made them prone to cracks particularly at the corners.
Being a glutton for punishment I purchased the fairly expensive Zagg Sapphire TSP for my S8 plus.
It does require very careful installation (but I have had a lot of expensive practice at that).
It has adhesive across the entire surface and once installed it is unbelievable.
I use a Spigen neo- hybrid case that seems to give all TSP's issues, but none with this Sapphire TSP.
The surface is extraordinarily smooth and clear with absolutely no loss of sensitivity, even at the edges.
This is early yet, and time will tell how strong the unit is, but so far it seems well worth its expensive price.
I stress, that installation is not that simple and I had to review their online installation video several times to make sure that I did it right.
