However, many users experienced issues with the screen protector's durability, resulting in shattering or cracking. Significant problems with touch screen responsiveness were also reported, making it difficult to use the phone. Incompatibility with certain phone cases was another recurring concern.

Purchased this Screen Protector on 11/30/18 along with the Galaxy S8 and the Otter Box Defender case. I have never dropped my phone, and it is still in excellent condition, however, this screen protector has been frustrating from day one. It seriously limits touch screen responsiveness. Today, I noticed that the screen protector had literally shattered. I have no idea how or why, as I have never abused it. I feel like having it for less than two months is certainly not a long enough life span given the rather high cost of the product. I would not recommend this protector.

Ridiculously expensive. This glass has reduced touch sensitivity to the point that I feel like throwing my phone. It causes the wrong item to be chosen when you are just trying to scroll. Texting is virtually impossible because you have to almost crush it to get a letter to be chosen and then it is often the wrong one because your finger is all spread out across the keyboard. I would NEVER buy this again. It may protect, but it makes the phone almost impossible to use.

I installed the Alpha Glass on my Galaxy S8 and it worked fine but once I installed my Otterbox case in conjunction with the glass, the screen wouldn't respond. You would think that Otterbox's products would work together, but they don't.
