+Charles Eastman hi. Thank you. It doesn't work with the defender case. I have found that cases that have the inner from do not work with this protector.
You make this process seem so feasible. You explain everything very well, and I'm officially convinced. I've been watching your videos on protectors and cases for the S8 for the last hour or so. Thanks for making so many informative videos. I really enjoy them! :)
Oh man thank you for this video. I am literally in the process of buying a galaxy s9+ with a Whitestone and I was breaking my head figuring out which one would be the best case
Was totally considering the Whitestone Dome protector after your installation video. The case friendly factor was my main concern! Thank you for this video! Cleared things out! Definitely need to get me one of these now!
Whoaa, you definitely went through a lot in the making of this video! Thank you so much for your hard work as always! I hope your channel grows even bigger.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for being so thorough. After using tempered glass I'm not sure I can go back. This my first Edge phone and I hated it at first, but after getting used to it I like it but still hate how it makes it soooo much more fragile and easier to crack the screen with a small drop. Im waiting for my caseology case to come, as I don't feel the Spigen neo crystal is giving me enough protection. Having a great list of case and protector compatibility is a wonderful resource! oh and it would be great to win one for the S8+. Thanks again!
It is good to see that is works with so many cases. I'm always worried about get a screen protector and it not working with my S8 case. Thank you for the video.
Your review of the Whitestone Screen protector is what convinced me to get it. I also got the UAG Plasma for my phone because of your reviews. ( I was trying to go for a Monarch but they were sold out)
Geo Arellano it sure does. I noticed a few bubbling but I think it's because I didn't cure it right. I had pressed down on the screen before I cured the screen to try to get some air bubbles out.
I love my Whitestone dome screen protector for my s8 plus, it's the best. Cost is high but it's higher to replace a phone screen so not really an issue. I'm ready to get one for my son and daughters iPhone 7plus. The only issue will be that it's not out their hand long enough for the installation process. Thanks for the videos. You are very helpful.
+Rhonda Jones lol. Tell me about it. My daughter never puts her phone down either. She even sleeps with it and then wonders why her battery doesn't last. She's keeps phone, charger and headphones at all times.
Another very insightful and entertaining video U Droid Mania! I was actually looking out for this video since your part 2 video on the whitestone dome glass. I think the whitestone dome is the perfect screen protector, especially for the galaxy s8 because it fully adheres to the display which would give me confidence that it wont pop off and the edges go around the curve but not so close that many cases would cause it to pop off. The thing about the whitestone dome glass screen protector that makes me really want one most is the fact that because there is adhesive everywhere under the glass, you dont get any nasty air gap between the glass and the display like I see on other brands like olixar and GPEL. Thanks again for the awesome vid and sorry if my comment was a bit long!
Man, I have to say, the dedication you put into your videos is immense. Keep it up! I hope you find some time to do some videos for the whitestone protector for the s7 edge as well.
Definitely one of the best reviewers. I ordered an Otterbox strada for the wife since she loves flip cases and wondering if it'll fit the same as the symmetry.
I had to try twice to get a good install of my Whitestone Dome on my s8. I let some of the adhesive go over the side, it wasn't level(important:level is a must! Even though it cost me double it was defiantly worth it. It is the best out there right now! I don't think there's anything close.
+Danfo Wow! 2nd times the charm. Yes I think the level is key yo prevent any leakage. I agree. There is nothing else so far that I have found in this category. I think it's definitely worth the money to protect this phone. I just hope Whitestone is already working on the protector for the Note 8. 👍
Thank you for finally posting this.. I have been waiting for this video for a long time, but unfortunately they do not ship to my country.. Keep the Videos coming coz its great content :D
I've been watching video after video and reading countless reviews on Amazon on tempered glass screen protectors. It all but makes me want to rip my hair out. I finally settled for the wrap around stick on type which is ok but only against scratches. I decided long ago that this seems to be the best out there, I have 2 s8's though so $90 is a bit to shell out at once. I would love to get my hands on this screen protector for sure. Thanks for such great and informative videos. They are helpful for sure.
The Whitestone looks like the best one around for sure. I am like many and rock the Neo Hybrid,which have a few issues matching up with my YooTech plastic protector. Dig the vids man,great info and easy to watch. You remind me of the Reading Rainbow guy when you talk.lol.
Great video, Enin! Thank you! Planning to give the WS another go. Your video is spot on helpful for those of us who have several cases already on hand, but unsure of which ones will work. Not happy about shoveling out another 45 bucks, but with the cost of these phones, it's justifiable. Question, did WS mention any word about selling just replacement screens and adhesive tubes for those of us who already have the UV lamp and jig? That would be so awesome if they would offer a Dome Lite kit.

Excellent video! Really in-depth guide, and exhaustive case testing. The geeky side of me got excited, as I'm all about protecting my phones! I got my S8+ some days ago, and got a couple of Armorsuit MilitaryShields for it. They won't work with my Spigen ToughArmor and UltraHybrid so I'm considering my options. Haven't been too convinced before of glass protectors on curved screens, but after seeing your videos, it seems this might be the one. I definitely want to be part of the giveaway -and luckily go back to the Glass Side! :) Cheers.
I just got my S8+ as a bday gift and am loving your review on this. How do you avoid the glue from spilling over the speakers at the top...that's the only thing holding me back from buying this.
Can you do a video for the s8 plus cases that fit in car mount holders. My mount doesn't hold my phone and certain cases well looking for a good car mount
ATTENTION!! Received mine 2 days ago and unfortunately I had issue with install. Udroid I noticed you did mention this in this video and it seems like common sense but it never crossed my mind. I installed mine in the bathroom/less dust and used a chair as my platform and unfortunatly the chair was slightly unlevel! The liquid ran straight off the screen! Sooo PO!!!! It moves like a bead and fast! Hope my luck changes with the drawing! Great video!! THANKS!
if you go to Amazon you can find adhesive liquid that is used on cell phone screens. i installed mine on a kind of an uneven surface so i may have to do it again as well. let me know what they say if you dont mind
I just applied mine last night and love it. I tried a case that didnt work and it caused my side to do the same as yours, so I pressed down hard under the uv light, and voila, problem solved.
+I'LL NAME THIS CHANNEL LATER Thanks. That is a good tip. I left the protector on my phone, and there are still some bubbles along the edges due to me trying and testing all those cases, but I barely notice them. So for now I'm leaving it on until I test the next over this weekend. I hope other people read this so they can use this tip. I will definitely share though. Cool channel name too. 👍
U Droid Mania ya no problem. And thank you for the great videos. I didn't even use the instructions with the Whitestone dome, I just put your video on my iPad, and followed it to the t. And it was a flawless victory lol. I'm loving this screen protector., Whitestone owes you a big fat check, you blew them up!!!
Just wanted to share that the Whitestone glass is not compatible with item 17 (Spigen Ultra Hybrid). At first, I thought they fit together perfectly since the slim bumper of the spigen embraces the s8's edges and curves until right before the edge of the glass dome. I usually hold my phone on my right hand and the vertical bubble started appearing in the lower right side of the phone. My grip that day might have been too tight that made the flexible bumper put pressure on the side of the dome glass. I heard a slight crack and thought that it broke. I just switched to Samsung's s-view clear cover and tried to push the bubble to the corner. There are still little bubbles left but not too visible anymore.
This looks like the screen protector I've been waiting for! I'm currently using the Amorsuit protector for the S8+ which is fine, but it only protects against some scratches. I can't imagine what it would do in terms of shock protection. It would be great if I won one of these!
I've seen a few conflicting opinions on the UAG Plasma working with the whitestone on the S8. Is there a nice gap all around? Was there perhaps an earlier version that DIDN'T work..?
that's a lot of work and time... thanks. what would you say is the thinnest case? I want one so thin that I almost don't know that it's on there. I don't like cases but the back is so smooth that it is slippery and I know it's going to slide off of something and hit the floor before too long.
2:55 shows it clearly not adhered to the right side. Big gap in plain sight. Noticed it other times as well. Just don't try to hide the obvious gaps when turning the phone. Still on the fence about this screen protector. Good is good, but it needs and should be perfect.
The Caseology Coastline don't work! At first it seemed OK, I could tell it was a tight fit but then it started pushing the Whitestone up. What's the chance you could revisit these cases for a closer look to see which ones have wiggle room for the Whitestone?
Hi there, yes I have commented before about Whitestone being available in the UK. I have tried to contact them but there is no date given yet on when this is available. Did you manage to get any info? I am on my 3rd protector that has edge adhesive only. Thanks for the video again and I personally love the UAG Plasma off your recommendation, keep up with the good work!👍
You're videos are awesome and very helpful! At the end of the video where you show the list of compatible cases, the video link covers up whether the otterbox defender will work with the dome glass. Also, do you know if this protector will work with pelican series cases? I work in law enforcement and am trying to find a very protective case that stands up to impacts. Thanks man!
you say to remove the top and bottom align bars during install but you only removed the bottom one......???? So which is it? Take both off or only remove bottom?
Great review! Is spigen ultra hybrid fully compatible? On Amazon and on xda some people say that when you push the volume or the power button the glass lifts up. I'm asking because I have the ultra hybrid and I am ready to install the whitestone dome glass.
This protector looks like it works pretty amazing with cases. The price was the main reason I was holding off but now I'm heavily leaning towards getting it. Does it work with the Supcase Union Beetle Pro?
Just a quick note. The Spigen Liquid Crystal is FLUSH with the protector and is on the verge of not working with it. What I noticed is that the case pushes against the protector around the sides of the phone. In my case this happens mostly on the right side, meaning the case's power button does not properly sit on the phone's button and pressing it feels kinda awkward, I could even say difficult. Not sure if the screen protector will start peeling off, but there's definitely some pressure applied.... I feel this is something that should have been included in the video..... UPDATE: After a week of use, the screen protector has started coming unstuck on all four corners.. that's pretty unfortunate... PLEASE add a caption to the video!!
Lyudmil Vladimirov I am sorry that this has happened. I posted a comment earlier today querying this case as well as the Ultra Hybrid and the effect on the screen protector. I was offering them and felt that exactly what you have experienced will happen. I do thank you for sharing this information! I have the Spigen Thin Fit on and it works beautifully with the Whitestone protector installed. It fits tight and has a little space between the case and protector. I have the black S8+ and black thin fit case. They both complement each other and keeps the beauty of the phone. I cannot say how well the thin fit case will protect against a drop test, but it does offer some protection. I believe that coupled with the screen protector there should be a reasonable amount of protection. For me this will work as I am usually very careful with not dropping my phone. I agree with you that U Droid Mania should edit this video and add a caption, especially after your experience!
Good video! Really thorough. Would have liked to clearly see both brand and model case for all...I think you only mentioned the actual brand for some of them.
Hey, I'm from Germany and since I have bought my Galaxy S8 + I'm looking for a good-looking tempered glass protector. Through your videos I stumbled on the Whitestone Dome glass, which convinced me especially in combination with the UAG Monarch Case. Unfortunately you can't buy it in Germany and so I'm very happy about your giveaway. Thumbs up!!!
Very nice videos. I came across your channel from just browsing about my new S8 screen protectors and now I'm subscribed. You do an awesome job of explaining everything, watched quite a few of your videos.....just can't get enuff, man! I might be buying the Whitestone Dome protector, for both my wife's and mine. I'll wait to see if I win one from you first.
+6Ranger66 Thank you, and in glad you found my channel. Good luck! This is the best protector (glass) that I have come across. It has been a long time coming, but its finally here.
Holy smokes that's a lot of cases! the Whitestone Dome does look awesome but I can't find it on Amazon.ca. Bummerrrrr! thanks for putting that together for everyone. Cheers.
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Whitestone Dome Glass Protector are NOT compatible. I bought both for my S8 and the glass protector instantly started lifting on all edges. All that money spent... devastated.
Wanna know if this TG works perfectly with incipio dual pro as I am using that case now. It's sad you don't have incipio line up for your s8 plus. But still nice and informative video.
Have you tried removing the screen protector? I am wondering if the screen would be clean and adhesive-free after you take the screen protector off from the screen. And, if there are residues of adhesive, would those be removed by alcohol pads?
Good to know that it's compatible with both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor CS as I'm constantly switching between the 2 cases. One thing though, did you notice any issues with the protector lifting up at all as you switched between all those cases? Because I switch between my 2 cases a lot, I do worry about it peeling up along the edges over time since it's the first areas that would lift up. If you only rocked 1 case full time, then this wouldn't even be an issue, haha.
Do you have any information regarding the Lensun protector to the S8? I am choosing between those 2, one is out of stock and the other do not ship to my country :-( ! Really helpful videos by the way.
Really glad to see this work with a neo hybrid. Bought the GPEL glass for my s8+ but the adhesive didn't stick on one side so I'm getting dust coming in, really annoying lol, have to get a whitestone dome
wow nice review but am a bit curious i know the Whitestone is your best glass protector but what is your primary case that u use daily, out of all those u have? the Whitestone that protector is a awesome glass for my Samsung S8 plus. one more thing the Spigen neo hybrid clear is that a good protective case because i have the gun metal version am just worried about the scratch issues on the clear one. let me know if u can. thanks again on these cool reviews.
Thank you very much for the time making all these reviews esp with the best screen protector for s8+. Tried to find this one in our country but no luck. Hope to win I definitely want one for my s8+! 😊
I appreciate you taking the time but wouldn't it be easier for everyone if you just posted a list of compatible/ incompatible cases? I sat through the entire video to finally see at the very end a list and that my Defender was incompatible. Just some constructive criticism.
Thanks for taking the time to try all those cases! Sadly, you don't seem to have mine (Rhinoshield CrashGuard for the S8+). If you happen to get one, could you upload a video showing if it's compatible? The protector seems great, so I hope I win one! Amazon USA doesn't ship to my country and Whitestone doesn't sell them either. One thing you didn't mention in the video though, and I think it may help for those buying the protector, is that to avoid getting adhesive accumulated in the sides it is recommended to wipe the sides of the screen, not the protector, after the first curing round.
Great video! Thank you for putting in the time and effort on all your videos! Do you know if the Whitestone Dome will work with X-Doria Defense Lux? Thanks
Hey man, been reading loads of comments, and looking all over the place for some confirmations that the protector will work with spigen touch armour, but no luck. Some says it hugs it a little too close to work properly, and there isn't really prove of it working as well. I think most people will appreciate if you do an upload of whitestone vs spigen cases, or just even extras cases apart from those 50 you've been reviewing. Otherwise, could you confirm this for me before i buy the case. Thanks in advance.
Love the screen protector. Would look great on my s8 plus. It looks like it leaves minimal fingerprints. On a side note. What do you think of liquid screen protectors. As far as scratching goes. I know it wouldn't do that well in case of a drop. Keep up the great work. Your videos are very informative.
Any diea if the Otterbox Commuter would work with it? If not, what would you say is the toughest, most rugged, most protective case out of the options that work with the Dome?
Thanks for your videos!! One small question. I am looking for a small case that would not had too much bulkiness. I have the speck presidio grip, was looking at the spigen neo hybrid. they seems pretty much the same size, am I wrong? If something a bit smaller, maybe not as small as the peel case for the google pixel, but close to give a bit protection from drop. Any suggestion? Thanks And should work with wetstone dome screen protector, as it is on it's way!!
Did you get the Speck Presidio to use with the Whitestone Dome protector? Did they fit together well? He didn't list that one on the spreadsheet at the end for some strange reason!
Thanks for your video! From my research online it seems like this is the best screen protector out there, but as you said, cost is the biggest factor. I would love a chance to win one! Keep up with the great vids!
Could you also do a video or list of all these cases and comment if there is a gap between case and protector? Probably a minor issue for some people but it bugs me when I have a case and I can always feel the gap between the case and protector esp on curved screens.
Is there a case you could recommend that is compatible with this screen protector that is similar to the flexy/grippy/rubber type material of the tech21 evo check? I love their cases but hate that their side buttons are hard to press. It's critical for the double press instant camera access. Thanks!
i got my protector after watching your review but my spigen ultra hybrid lifted my whitestone dome screen protector. made me really sad because for the few hours i got to use it before going to bed and waking up to it having lifted off it was amazing. Did I miss a step? You say it worked for you
Whitestone looks great. can't say much else because i don't have any experience with it but I trust your recommendation and would love to have one. keep up the good work. 👍💯
I love watching all your videos! best you tuber by far that actually does a great job going over everything! I'm wanting the white stone dome for the 8+ but They are currently sold out.
Love, love, love all of your videos! I have the s8 plus in black. Have been through so many screen protectors that just don't work with my cases. I would love to be entered in the giveaway for the screen protector! Even if I don't win I will continue to watch your videos 😁😁. Keep up the great work!
I was wondering did the screen protector work on the Otterbox defender? I currently have a Uag plasma case and a best buy screen protector and I dropped my phone onto are slate coffee table and it cracked the side of my screen!! not happy!! would love to try one of these screen protectors once I fix my phone
+Ryan Cherry Hi there. It does not work with the defender case or Poetic Revolution or Supcase Unicorn Beetle/Beetle Pro. These cases push up the sides of the protector.
I really want to get this protector but I'm having a hard time justifying $45, especially if it cracks right after install (which is very likely with a toddler and a preschooler running around). Do you know if Whitestone plans on selling replacement kits at some point, maybe then I can justify the cost?
really great video, pretty sure it helps a lot of us with questions about best screen and case combo... still waiting for the x-doria cases to arrive to let u know how it went
I see some bubbles on the edge and maybe a central one as well. Did they go away? Your vids are very well made. I would also be considered for a whitestone dome for the S8+, hard to get them in Australia =(
Juan Carlos Chen Xu He didn't reply to me either. There was a big gap at 2:55, not attached to the top right of the phone. As he spins it in the next shot, he trys not to show it. Seems good, but I need to know it will adhere completely before buying it.
Thank you for very helpful videos I really wanna try this Tempered Glass but unfortunately they dont ship it to Japan :( BTW have you tried the Rhinoshield Bumper Case ??? Is this glass compatible with that case ??? and what do you think about their 9H Tempered Glass ? Thank you ^^
Hey U droid mania....great reviews keep up the good work. I bought the Whitestone dome for s8+ after watching your review videos on it and the FAQ vid that you did. I am impressed. I recently saw your review on the Pitaka case and going to buy that too from your recommendation. However I'd like to ask how does it looks with the pitaka case and whitedome screen protector. Does it work and how far are the gaps on the edges from the screen protector to the case. Many thanks
I love the protector and it works great. But the other day a line of bubbles appeared on the left side of the screen and they won't go away. I am using the Neo Hybrid which was fine but I don't know what happened to cause the bubbles but they won't go away!
Is this your first choice of screen protector after four months> Otterbox Defender is not on the list. Did you not test it or is it not work with that case?
which one of these have the highest raised bevel on the front (preferably clear color)? because they dont seem to protect the front much so when drop, the tempered glass will take all the hit
Winners announced: ruclips.net/video/UkaImvY5a78/видео.html
U Droid Mania bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it lifted the dome on both sides :( Any other recommendations on a clear case or want to trade?
Hey great video but wanted to ask you does this screen protector work with outerbox defender cases?
U Droid Mania You didn't cover Incipio cases
+King Nath Sorry. I have not covered them yet. I have been trying to get them to send me a few... Looks like I will have to get them in on my own.
+Charles Eastman hi. Thank you. It doesn't work with the defender case. I have found that cases that have the inner from do not work with this protector.
You make this process seem so feasible. You explain everything very well, and I'm officially convinced. I've been watching your videos on protectors and cases for the S8 for the last hour or so. Thanks for making so many informative videos. I really enjoy them! :)

Having a great list of case and protector compatibility is a wonderful resource!
oh and it would be great to win one for the S8+. Thanks again!
I've tried almost all screen protectors for the s8 plus and not happy with any of them. This is the only one I haven't tried yet!!
It is good to see that is works with so many cases. I'm always worried about get a screen protector and it not working with my S8 case. Thank you for the video.
Definitely one of the worries I had while choosing a tempered glass protector for my s8+. Great to see majority are case friendly. Great job!
+Shadystatuss Thank you. I'm glad you found this useful.
By far the best TG for curved phones in the current market, quality and compatability wise based on reviews
Your review of the Whitestone Screen protector is what convinced me to get it. I also got the UAG Plasma for my phone because of your reviews. ( I was trying to go for a Monarch but they were sold out)
+Edwin Li thanks. Glad to hear that. Monarch is finally back in stock now on Amazon. I didn't check UAG directly.
Edwin Li so plasma works right?
Geo Arellano it sure does. I noticed a few bubbling but I think it's because I didn't cure it right. I had pressed down on the screen before I cured the screen to try to get some air bubbles out.
I love my Whitestone dome screen protector for my s8 plus, it's the best. Cost is high but it's higher to replace a phone screen so not really an issue. I'm ready to get one for my son and daughters iPhone 7plus. The only issue will be that it's not out their hand long enough for the installation process. Thanks for the videos. You are very helpful.
+Rhonda Jones lol. Tell me about it. My daughter never puts her phone down either. She even sleeps with it and then wonders why her battery doesn't last. She's keeps phone, charger and headphones at all times.
Yes, my daughter is 23 and she has cracked her phone screens plenty of times. She now know the benefits of a scree protector and a case.

I agree. There is nothing else so far that I have found in this category. I think it's definitely worth the money to protect this phone.
I just hope Whitestone is already working on the protector for the Note 8. 👍
Why in the world would you put an add to another video over the list of compatible cases? Cant see if the cases are compatible or not.
I agree, this needs to be bumped!
Did you ever try the Otterbox Defender? I'm looking for a good super-tough case like that for my S8!
Thank you for finally posting this.. I have been waiting for this video for a long time, but unfortunately they do not ship to my country.. Keep the Videos coming coz its great content :D

i would keep everything and try to reinstall with another adhesive liquid
Matt M thanks. You mean from the same company? Or what kind of adhesive? Im going to email company with hopes of some help. Hate to drop another $50
if you go to Amazon you can find adhesive liquid that is used on cell phone screens. i installed mine on a kind of an uneven surface so i may have to do it again as well. let me know what they say if you dont mind
Will do thanks! So have you tried adhesive ur talking about? Safe for screen?
no i havent bought one yet but i will over the weekend. but its honestly all the same
I just applied mine last night and love it. I tried a case that didnt work and it caused my side to do the same as yours, so I pressed down hard under the uv light, and voila, problem solved.

U Droid Mania ya no problem. And thank you for the great videos. I didn't even use the instructions with the Whitestone dome, I just put your video on my iPad, and followed it to the t. And it was a flawless victory lol. I'm loving this screen protector., Whitestone owes you a big fat check, you blew them up!!!
Just wanted to share that the
Whitestone glass is not compatible with item 17 (Spigen Ultra Hybrid). At first, I thought they fit together perfectly since the slim bumper of the spigen embraces the s8's edges and curves until right before the edge of the glass dome. I usually hold my phone on my right hand and the vertical bubble started appearing in the lower right side of the phone. My grip that day might have been too tight that made the flexible bumper put pressure on the side of the dome glass. I heard a slight crack and thought that it broke. I just switched to Samsung's s-view clear cover and tried to push the bubble to the corner. There are still little bubbles left but not too visible anymore.
This looks like the screen protector I've been waiting for! I'm currently using the Amorsuit protector for the S8+ which is fine, but it only protects against some scratches. I can't imagine what it would do in terms of shock protection. It would be great if I won one of these!
I've seen a few conflicting opinions on the UAG Plasma working with the whitestone on the S8. Is there a nice gap all around? Was there perhaps an earlier version that DIDN'T work..?
that's a lot of work and time... thanks.
what would you say is the thinnest case? I want one so thin that I almost don't know that it's on there. I don't like cases but the back is so smooth that it is slippery and I know it's going to slide off of something and hit the floor before too long.
+Gene Martin Spigen thin fit is a good case, also Ringke thin. The Rhinoshield bumper is a great case since it only goes around the edges.
your're the best. thanks
and i forgot to mention is that thin case that works with the Whitestone glass screen protector.
Awesome vid! Is there a way to know if a listed case was tested with the s8 AND s8+? I have the regular s8. Thanks!
2:55 shows it clearly not adhered to the right side. Big gap in plain sight.
Noticed it other times as well. Just don't try to hide the obvious gaps when turning the phone.
Still on the fence about this screen protector.
Good is good, but it needs and should be perfect.
The Caseology Coastline don't work! At first it seemed OK, I could tell it was a tight fit but then it started pushing the Whitestone up. What's the chance you could revisit these cases for a closer look to see which ones have wiggle room for the Whitestone?
Any idea whether the Poetic Affinity case is compatible? Great video by the way 👍
Hi there, yes I have commented before about Whitestone being available in the UK. I have tried to contact them but there is no date given yet on when this is available. Did you manage to get any info? I am on my 3rd protector that has edge adhesive only. Thanks for the video again and I personally love the UAG Plasma off your recommendation, keep up with the good work!👍
You're videos are awesome and very helpful!
At the end of the video where you show the list of compatible cases, the video link covers up whether the otterbox defender will work with the dome glass. Also, do you know if this protector will work with pelican series cases? I work in law enforcement and am trying to find a very protective case that stands up to impacts. Thanks man!
you say to remove the top and bottom align bars during install but you only removed the bottom one......???? So which is it? Take both off or only remove bottom?
Great review! Is spigen ultra hybrid fully compatible? On Amazon and on xda some people say that when you push the volume or the power button the glass lifts up. I'm asking because I have the ultra hybrid and I am ready to install the whitestone dome glass.
Hey! Nice job once again! Do you think that the Whitestone is that much better than the Olixar tempered glass?
This protector looks like it works pretty amazing with cases. The price was the main reason I was holding off but now I'm heavily leaning towards getting it. Does it work with the Supcase Union Beetle Pro?
Yet another superlative review. What do you think of Griffin Strong cases?
Just a quick note. The Spigen Liquid Crystal is FLUSH with the protector and is on the verge of not working with it. What I noticed is that the case pushes against the protector around the sides of the phone. In my case this happens mostly on the right side, meaning the case's power button does not properly sit on the phone's button and pressing it feels kinda awkward, I could even say difficult. Not sure if the screen protector will start peeling off, but there's definitely some pressure applied.... I feel this is something that should have been included in the video.....
UPDATE: After a week of use, the screen protector has started coming unstuck on all four corners.. that's pretty unfortunate... PLEASE add a caption to the video!!
Lyudmil Vladimirov I am sorry that this has happened. I posted a comment earlier today querying this case as well as the Ultra Hybrid and the effect on the screen protector. I was offering them and felt that exactly what you have experienced will happen. I do thank you for sharing this information! I have the Spigen Thin Fit on and it works beautifully with the Whitestone protector installed. It fits tight and has a little space between the case and protector. I have the black S8+ and black thin fit case. They both complement each other and keeps the beauty of the phone. I cannot say how well the thin fit case will protect against a drop test, but it does offer some protection. I believe that coupled with the screen protector there should be a reasonable amount of protection. For me this will work as I am usually very careful with not dropping my phone. I agree with you that U Droid Mania should edit this video and add a caption, especially after your experience!
Good video! Really thorough. Would have liked to clearly see both brand and model case for all...I think you only mentioned the actual brand for some of them.
Great video, you really go the extra mile. Do you happen to know if it works with the Rhinoshield Crash Guard bumper case?
Hey,
I'm from Germany and since I have bought my Galaxy S8 + I'm looking for a good-looking tempered glass protector. Through your videos I stumbled on the Whitestone Dome glass, which convinced me especially in combination with the UAG Monarch Case. Unfortunately you can't buy it in Germany and so I'm very happy about your giveaway. Thumbs up!!!
Very nice videos. I came across your channel from just browsing about my new S8 screen protectors and now I'm subscribed. You do an awesome job of explaining everything, watched quite a few of your videos.....just can't get enuff, man! I might be buying the Whitestone Dome protector, for both my wife's and mine. I'll wait to see if I win one from you first.
+6Ranger66 Thank you, and in glad you found my channel. Good luck!
This is the best protector (glass) that I have come across. It has been a long time coming, but its finally here.
Holy smokes that's a lot of cases! the Whitestone Dome does look awesome but I can't find it on Amazon.ca. Bummerrrrr! thanks for putting that together for everyone. Cheers.
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Whitestone Dome Glass Protector are NOT compatible. I bought both for my S8 and the glass protector instantly started lifting on all edges. All that money spent... devastated.
Wanna know if this TG works perfectly with incipio dual pro as I am using that case now. It's sad you don't have incipio line up for your s8 plus. But still nice and informative video.
Have you tried removing the screen protector? I am wondering if the screen would be clean and adhesive-free after you take the screen protector off from the screen. And, if there are residues of adhesive, would those be removed by alcohol pads?
Good to know that it's compatible with both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor CS as I'm constantly switching between the 2 cases. One thing though, did you notice any issues with the protector lifting up at all as you switched between all those cases? Because I switch between my 2 cases a lot, I do worry about it peeling up along the edges over time since it's the first areas that would lift up. If you only rocked 1 case full time, then this wouldn't even be an issue, haha.
Your install vid was great and I liked the list at the end of this vid, but could not see if the Spigen Tough Armor was good of not.
Do you have any information regarding the Lensun protector to the S8? I am choosing between those 2, one is out of stock and the other do not ship to my country :-( ! Really helpful videos by the way.
Really glad to see this work with a neo hybrid. Bought the GPEL glass for my s8+ but the adhesive didn't stick on one side so I'm getting dust coming in, really annoying lol, have to get a whitestone dome
+coolio9491 👍😊 I'm hoping GPEL comes with a 2nd gen so that they can redeem themselves. Yep Neo Hybrid works without issue for me.
the whitestone protector really does look great compared to other screen protectors. no wonder it costs so much.
wow nice review but am a bit curious i know the Whitestone is your best glass protector but what is your primary case that u use daily, out of all those u have? the Whitestone that protector is a awesome glass for my Samsung S8 plus. one more thing the Spigen neo hybrid clear is that a good protective case because i have the gun metal version am just worried about the scratch issues on the clear one. let me know if u can. thanks again on these cool reviews.
Thank you very much for the time making all these reviews esp with the best screen protector for s8+. Tried to find this one in our country but no luck. Hope to win I definitely want one for my s8+! 😊
I appreciate you taking the time but wouldn't it be easier for everyone if you just posted a list of compatible/ incompatible cases? I sat through the entire video to finally see at the very end a list and that my Defender was incompatible. Just some constructive criticism.
Thanks for taking the time to try all those cases! Sadly, you don't seem to have mine (Rhinoshield CrashGuard for the S8+). If you happen to get one, could you upload a video showing if it's compatible?
The protector seems great, so I hope I win one! Amazon USA doesn't ship to my country and Whitestone doesn't sell them either.
One thing you didn't mention in the video though, and I think it may help for those buying the protector, is that to avoid getting adhesive accumulated in the sides it is recommended to wipe the sides of the screen, not the protector, after the first curing round.
I think it's sturdy. how would it work with other otter box cases?
Great video! Thank you for putting in the time and effort on all your videos!
Do you know if the Whitestone Dome will work with X-Doria Defense Lux?
Thanks
+Gary Cooper Hi Thank you.
I have not tried that case, but will see if I can get it in to test. I'll post an update when I do for you.
U Droid Mania Thank you!
I can confirm Whitestone Dome does work with the X-Doria Defense Lux!!
Hey man, been reading loads of comments, and looking all over the place for some confirmations that the protector will work with spigen touch armour, but no luck. Some says it hugs it a little too close to work properly, and there isn't really prove of it working as well. I think most people will appreciate if you do an upload of whitestone vs spigen cases, or just even extras cases apart from those 50 you've been reviewing. Otherwise, could you confirm this for me before i buy the case. Thanks in advance.
Love the screen protector. Would look great on my s8 plus. It looks like it leaves minimal fingerprints. On a side note. What do you think of liquid screen protectors. As far as scratching goes. I know it wouldn't do that well in case of a drop. Keep up the great work. Your videos are very informative.
Any diea if the Otterbox Commuter would work with it? If not, what would you say is the toughest, most rugged, most protective case out of the options that work with the Dome?
Thanks for your videos!! One small question. I am looking for a small case that would not had too much bulkiness. I have the speck presidio grip, was looking at the spigen neo hybrid. they seems pretty much the same size, am I wrong? If something a bit smaller, maybe not as small as the peel case for the google pixel, but close to give a bit protection from drop. Any suggestion? Thanks And should work with wetstone dome screen protector, as it is on it's way!!
Did you get the Speck Presidio to use with the Whitestone Dome protector? Did they fit together well? He didn't list that one on the spreadsheet at the end for some strange reason!
Awesome video! I've been researching for a glass screen protector for my S8 and it looks like I found it. Thanks!
Ordered the whitestone protector today. Looking forward to the install. Nice videos
This video was excellent, thank you for taking the time to go thru that many cases!
+DJ Remix you're welcome. I'm glad to do it.
Great video! I have a question,have you ever heard Patchworks ITG Level? Is that case friendly?
+Arya Hi. Thank you. I haven't heard of it, but I can check into it.
U Droid Mania okay. Thanks a lot!
Is it the best you can get for the s8. Or is there something that's better
Thanks for your video! From my research online it seems like this is the best screen protector out there, but as you said, cost is the biggest factor. I would love a chance to win one! Keep up with the great vids!
What about the Otterbox Defender? Were you able to test that one at all?
Nice video, have you ever considered Speck?
Could you also do a video or list of all these cases and comment if there is a gap between case and protector? Probably a minor issue for some people but it bugs me when I have a case and I can always feel the gap between the case and protector esp on curved screens.
+mleachx1 Good point, so thanks for that. I will starting including details like this in the my next protector video.
Is there a case you could recommend that is compatible with this screen protector that is similar to the flexy/grippy/rubber type material of the tech21 evo check? I love their cases but hate that their side buttons are hard to press. It's critical for the double press instant camera access.
Thanks!
i got my protector after watching your review but my spigen ultra hybrid lifted my whitestone dome screen protector. made me really sad because for the few hours i got to use it before going to bed and waking up to it having lifted off it was amazing. Did I miss a step? You say it worked for you
Great video. Whitestone looks to be the choice one. Really enjoyed seeing all the cases that work with this screen protector.
+Binnie Herston Thanks. It's really, really good. It seems to me that protector manufacturers have finally caught up.
looks like the Whitestone is the best screen protector I've seen so far.
+Apriele Robinson I would have to agree. It feels and performs most like the normal display of the phone.
This is just what I need for my Samsung 8+.... Great review on the screen protector... Keep up with the good work..
Whitestone looks great. can't say much else because i don't have any experience with it but I trust your recommendation and would love to have one. keep up the good work. 👍💯
9:04 how was the slim armor fit? Looks like the side of the dome glass is being pushed up?
I love watching all your videos! best you tuber by far that actually does a great job going over everything! I'm wanting the white stone dome for the 8+ but They are currently sold out.
will the element case rev work with this ? the rev is a sexy case you should check out if u haven't already
Love, love, love all of your videos! I have the s8 plus in black. Have been through so many screen protectors that just don't work with my cases. I would love to be entered in the giveaway for the screen protector! Even if I don't win I will continue to watch your videos 😁😁. Keep up the great work!
I was wondering did the screen protector work on the Otterbox defender? I currently have a Uag plasma case and a best buy screen protector and I dropped my phone onto are slate coffee table and it cracked the side of my screen!! not happy!! would love to try one of these screen protectors once I fix my phone
+Ryan Cherry Hi there. It does not work with the defender case or Poetic Revolution or Supcase Unicorn Beetle/Beetle Pro. These cases push up the sides of the protector.
U Droid Mania thanks for getting back to me!! do you have any suggestions on cases that have raised bumpers that protect the side of the screen good?
Great video. I can't wait to get one for my S8+. Does this screen work with the Spigen Tough Armor?
+Shaheed Bradford Thanks. Yes it does work with the tough armor.
thank you very much for your answer, just wanna to make sure if its compatible with the tough armor?
+hector ayala tough armor is good.
Great video, I would still love to see a review on the Rhinosheild Crashguard case!
Whitestone Dome does fit with the rhinoshield crashgaurd
I really want to get this protector but I'm having a hard time justifying $45, especially if it cracks right after install (which is very likely with a toddler and a preschooler running around). Do you know if Whitestone plans on selling replacement kits at some point, maybe then I can justify the cost?
really great video, pretty sure it helps a lot of us with questions about best screen and case combo... still waiting for the x-doria cases to arrive to let u know how it went
I see some bubbles on the edge and maybe a central one as well. Did they go away?
Your vids are very well made. I would also be considered for a whitestone dome for the S8+, hard to get them in Australia =(
Juan Carlos Chen Xu He didn't reply to me either. There was a big gap at 2:55, not attached to the top right of the phone. As he spins it in the next shot, he trys not to show it.
Seems good, but I need to know it will adhere completely before buying it.
Thank you for very helpful videos
I really wanna try this Tempered Glass but unfortunately they dont ship it to Japan :(
BTW have you tried the Rhinoshield Bumper Case ??? Is this glass compatible with that case ??? and what do you think about their 9H Tempered Glass ? Thank you ^^
Hey U droid mania....great reviews keep up the good work. I bought the Whitestone dome for s8+ after watching your review videos on it and the FAQ vid that you did. I am impressed. I recently saw your review on the Pitaka case and going to buy that too from your recommendation. However I'd like to ask how does it looks with the pitaka case and whitedome screen protector. Does it work and how far are the gaps on the edges from the screen protector to the case. Many thanks
I didn't see the Insipio case referenced in your video, by chance do you know if that would work with this screen protector?
Thank you! I needed this video! was so afraid to put on my liquid crystal until you tried it
great videos, is tech 21 evo compatible with dome for S8 or just its plus size? thanks
+Jim Israel both of them work. S8 and Plus.
I love the protector and it works great. But the other day a line of bubbles appeared on the left side of the screen and they won't go away. I am using the Neo Hybrid which was fine but I don't know what happened to cause the bubbles but they won't go away!
Is this your first choice of screen protector after four months> Otterbox Defender is not on the list. Did you not test it or is it not work with that case?
also works with rhinoshield crash guard. I did drop my phone with this on and the crash guard and it did crack. screen remains smooth though
which one of these have the highest raised bevel on the front (preferably clear color)? because they dont seem to protect the front much so when drop, the tempered glass will take all the hit
