This protector differs from the others in several ways: one, the coverage area is actually smaller than usual, in that it just barely, barely covers the curved edges. With the Galaxy S8, I went through several forms of protectors, from tempered glass by AmazingThings to Samsung's own plastic film protector, but ultimately none satisfied me - until I came across the brand Otao.

There's a pretty detailed explanation as to why a curved screen is much harder to make a glass protector for, but the TL DR version is that tempered glass screen protectors manufacturers used to be able to place adhesive over the entire glass protector the coverage area was completely flat, but once the displays began curving, manufacturers could only place adhesive on the edges of the protector. But when smartphones began curving its screens, that's when tempered glass screen protectors began suffering in quality. This wasn't always the case: screen protectors used to all fit pretty well, regardless of brand. In all, I've purchased probably 25 to 30 protectors for those five phones - it was nearly impossible to find one that didn't suck. So how did I rack up that high a bill if I can buy protectors for that cheap? It's because I keep whipping them off after a few weeks or days and buying a new one.

Dropping a benjamin on screen protectors for five phones may not seem that much to Americans and Europeans, who have to pay jacked up prices of $15-20 bucks for things like tempered glass protectors and cases, but in China - where all these things are made - you can buy them for like five bucks a pop.
