TheGame7 · Aug 26, 2017

Y'all're struggles are over! I accept been looking for the best screen protector for border devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the all-time! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing information technology. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you volition exist an expert in no time:

Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important every bit a beginner that you brand certain the surface is level (Apply a concrete chimera level and have business organisation cards nearby) and get out the alignment bars (Plastic Fifty Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the tabular array he had, therefor equally you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was apply to this sort of thing happening, and apace corrected the issue. I detect the alignment bars to get in my manner when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did apply these alignment bars, think of them as preparation wheels. Just be sure when you manually marshal the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their three bumps and that they are non lifting your screen. Make certain your surface is level otherwise the agglutinative could pour over the edges of the telephone. Business concern cards assistance immensely, along with not working on installation in the centre of a two piece tabular array.

Review
Before I continue delight keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of hither. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also become an added bonus... The UV lite tin can exist used by women or given to women equally a gift to dry out their nails. Oh you lot're a guy and take no use for information technology? Ever had a car windshield chip?
Y'all can get a repair kit and utilize the UV light to dry out the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry out the pigment, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your hymeneals ring finger... Only kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to discover the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch on screen sensitivity bug with the Otterbox Defender due to the congenital in plastic screen protector and dealing with clay and easy scratches, I went back to my Annotation 4. And so the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an border telephone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the telephone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer accept a screen protector that for some giddy reason only had glue around the edges which fabricated the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that nigh times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity bug and information technology feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features really piece of work.Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Driver, defenders practise not piece of work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie bombardment instance and exam it out. If you have any cases that piece of work well, please let me know so I tin can get a compatibility list goingConfirmed Listing
Commuter
Symmetry
UAG

Q: Can I put a case on later installation?
A: No you demand to look 24 hours for curing.

Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: Y'all will need to wait one hr.

Q: How long should I set bated time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around ane hour plus the one hour wait later earlier you can use your phone

Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't discover anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked ane and ended up having to buy another ane, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.

Sorry can't edit previous mail service.

Install done.....successful! The biggest part is applying the epoxy, it is very thin, almost like water. Slowly loosening the cap on the epoxy tube and leveling the puddle is crucial to success. So do it slowly and utilise cards to level the puddle before releasing the remainder of the ep oxy. Then make certain information technology flows to the entire screen and you are golden. This video with tips is aureate.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.

Give thanks you so much for taking interest in our production and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was infrequent, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, nosotros have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools equally well since the initial launch.

Experienced people such every bit yourself will have no trouble manually aligning the glass, only some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they run into the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). Information technology will not impairment or break the device, just information technology could result in discomfort while using the device.

If you lot accept whatever questions or feedback that you would like to requite us delight exercise so!

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Admittedly brilliant thought with the screen protector I must say! I really capeesh the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I practice typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure equally they get in my fashion for aligning beneath the photographic camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector upwardly while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you take a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone volition want to take a physical bubble level nearby to complete the job or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to go along an heart on the edges for any possible lifting.

Delight can you give a link to buy?. I buy in europe from mobilefun.co.united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland simply I don't find any replacement kit. After 2 week screen evidence some damage but I don't want buy full package

Since the replacement kit is simply v$ cheaper than a new kit (on amazon) it might be easier to buy a complete kit and sell the uv light to a woman who wants to use it for her nails.

The replacement kit should not cost more nearly 10$, imho

To anyone wanting to know the Mophie S8 and S8+ cases work smashing with this screen protector! I'll make a review video soon for it. The summit of the case separates and you slide your phone in (no more plopping it in and out of a case hoping information technology doesn't bear upon the screen protector) and so you slide the top down and it fits perfect. It's a 3300 MAH battery pack and from 25% with the telephone on, it got me to 90% while I was using the phone. It also feels like it matches with the curvature of the phone. I recommend trying it out in store, as information technology is a bit heavier, but no where near as heavy as a ZeroLemon 10,000 MAH battery I had for the Note 4. Fastened are some screenshots with the instance and screen protector. Oh the speaker redirect to front end is actually dainty too!

Hither'due south a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:

sam5154 · December 15, 2017

Hi
I've bought one, merely I mixed two align confined and now I don't know which align bar is for meridian and which is for the bottom. They are a footling different. every bit y'all tin can come across in pictures one has a small-scale sticker fastened to information technology at 45 degree bending while in the other one it is attached directly.
tin can anyone assist to identify these correctly?

andrewilley

If plumbing fixtures this goes horribly wrong, or if the protector gets damaged in an accident afterward, how like shooting fish in a barrel is it to remove it once more after the glue has cured and will whatever residue be left on the screen?

If plumbing fixtures this goes horribly wrong, or if the protector gets damaged in an accident afterwards, how easy is it to remove it over again after the glue has cured and volition any remainder be left on the screen?
Andre

Expect at this video, this will answer your questions, information technology'southward very clear

It does seem to stick very well to your phone and so that's good, I hate the usual (crappy) tempered glass protectors that only take mucilage on the sides... one "wrong" case and *pop* there it goes :/
