I bought this a month ago and I dropped my phone about 4 times and it's still in one piece. The screen seems to be well protected....however the curved side edges of the glass are not as sensitive to touch as the top face of the glass. I find that I have to press my screen a little harder near the number 1, a, q, caps and punctuation keys. Perhaps I have to reposition and reapply the protective cover. If it wasn't for that minor issue, I'd give the Alpha Glass Screen protector 5 stars.
Overall, its a good buy if you occasionally drop your phone. I rather have it covered than not covered and risk cracking the screen which cost more to replace than purchasing the Alpha Glass Screen protector.

Bought cause it was a life saver for my s6 but doesn't got with a case on the new Samsung galaxy s8+. Hopefully they get it worked out so I can get one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Jedi,
We’re glad that the Alpha Glass worked well with your Galaxy S6.

If you have any questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!
Two vendors plus many online reviews confirmed that glass protectors do not work on curved screens such as Samsung Galaxy with an Otterbox case. Minute air pocket develops that reduces touch sensitivity. Replaced with a plastic protector that works fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Screen protector but...

I only use Otterbox products to protect my phones. This offers great protection, but I'm highly disappointed that they don't have a alpha glass privacy screen.
