So I got my Samsung Galaxy S8 last July of this year and you know the feeling of your gadget being bare and so prone in dropping it. Weeks have passed and I have no idea where to buy good a good tempered glass, compatible for the curveness of this phone.
As you can remember in our comprehensive review of the Galaxy S8+, its Infinity Display is pretty much far from its other flagship competitors. It was a little difficult to find a screen protector that fits this curved screen. I tried a product from Rhinoshield, but, ironically isn’t compatible with their Rhinoshield Crashguard.
What I am about to review is some of the best tempered glasses designed to protect the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The tempered glass features a 9H Hardness — this hardness is measured by the ability of minerals to scratch each other’s surfaces, anti-fingerprint, oleophobic coating and most importantly, shatterproof.
Basically, what you will have in the box is pretty much straightforward: the glass itself, a microfiber cloth, dust removal stickers and alcohol cleaner for your screen. An in-depth Installation Guide is also included in the box so you won’t have any problems whatsoever.
The glass perfectly fits the Infinity Display of the Galaxy S8. Its adhesive is coated on the glass and can be compatible to almost all of the cases for the S8/S8 Plus.

I would definitely recommend this glass because of many reasons: it is so easy to install, compatible for most cases and shatterproof. To get this ultimate protection, you might want to visit this shop in Lazada: TECHTURNER. Price tag is at Php 1,300 – a little bit steep but I must say, it is definitely worth the price!
