The alpha glass for the note 8 is not what I expect from Otter box quality standards. It produced hairline cracks immediately after install from the way it snaps into the case, and then fell off the phone after one light drop of the phone. 3 weeks in and already needed a replacement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Matt,
Yikes, this definitely does not sound like the flawless, protective experience that we envisioned for the Galaxy Note 8 Alpha Glass! We apologize that it cracked like that, but we're thrilled to see that you already have a warranty replacement ordered and headed your way. You should be receiving an email regarding your tracking information shortly!
We're positive that this new screen protector should deliver on all of your Otter expectations, but we would still recommend installing it based on the technique highlighted in our installation video (link below). This should offer some handy tricks, and if you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They're always glad to assist!
adhesive only on the edges so you have to press hard in order for the phone to respond and even then you have some errors

Hey OliveWithAnR,
Uh oh, sounds like that Alpha Glass is putting your fingers through a rough workout! While this Olympic-style training can be very inspiring, we certainly understand how this could be aggravating, and we apologize. It is possible that your screen protector is dealing with a misalignment issue, and our Otter detectives would love to step in and offer some help! Please feel free to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to solve this conundrum.
Additionally, we would suggest taking a quick peek at the installation video we made for the Galaxy Note 8 Alpha Glass. Sometimes, this can offer some handy tips and tricks to align that glass perfectly. Check it out via the link below, and let us know if you have any questions!
I purchased this costly screen protector through Otterbox expecting high quality. It is not......the screen protector does not even provide full coverage, and the adhesive is not strong.

Hey nonapplicable,
We apologize that you're harboring some doubts concerning the Galaxy Note 8 Alpha Glass! The screen protector is specifically designed to only cover the phone display itself, which ends up not spanning the entire height of the phone. This is purposeful, as we don't want our products to inhibit any crucial device functionality - such as the front-facing camera on the Galaxy Note 8. Rest assured, that Alpha Glass was tested and engineered to provide the best protection possible!
As for the adhesive, it is odd that it seems weak, since typically the glue on the Alpha Glass is pretty powerful. Please feel welcome to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to take a closer look. Once we find some answers, we can come up with a permanent solution for your screen protector!
I tried to pull the little tab to get the film off but the tab came off now I have now way to get the film off this is useless to me.

The Alpha glass fit perfectly & installed in seconds! But within 3 weeks it fell off my knee onto the floor, while I was in a chair. Then "crack" it shattered on the lower left corner & by thge next day, it had splintered across the screen & to the top of the glass! Not very impressive (esp. for the high price)!
I had to remove this cover. It affected the typing ability significantly. Had to pound on the screen to get it to type.

I always buy otterbox. But this screen cover is not working out. I have dead spots on my screen. It's very frustrating trying to select something. Even writing this review it a challenge. Please help. I need a screen protector but not this one.

Hi Adman,
Thanks for being a fan of our products! We’re sorry that this Alpha Glass is giving you some trouble. We get why a screen protector with dead spots would be frustrating and we definitely want to rectify this as soon as possible.
Please give our helpful Otters a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be more than happy to assist in any way possible. If needed we can easily get a warranty replacement arranged!
Only has sticky around the outside edges, so thankfully it was really easy to get back off once I realized how bad it was. It absolutely destroys the touch input on the phone and makes it very difficult to use.
I think perhaps if it had more adhesive or was a bit thinner it might help, but I'm not sure how great it would be at protection. I've decided to skip the screen protector and just use the Otterbox case I bought by itself.
