    First time the phone fell down the "protective" glass fell apart. The touch screen is a nightmare since I put it. And by the way, was correctly installed.

      Hi ACS14,

      We're so sorry to see that this Alpha Glass just wasn't working out for you! Our playful Otters would love to dive into a warranty claim, so please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269. They'll cheerfully set you up with a brand-new replacement glass as soon as possible!

      If you happen to experience further troubles with screen response, we would recommend going into your device settings, clicking on "Advanced Features," and turning on your touch sensitivity function. Doing this should enhance the reactivity going forward!

    Looks mostly great, but fails to do it's job.

    At first I was very impressed with this glass screen protector. Installation was much easier than the Zagg screens I used on my Galaxy S4 and S7. It looks really neat and clean, other than gathering some dust around the edges. This protector reaches pretty far to the edge, leaving just a small gap to make room for a case. Where this glass screen protector fails is in it's ability to actually adhere to the screen. Occasionally when pressing on the screen I can hear it CLICK, like it has bubbled up and isn't seated firmly on the screen. Probably because of this, touch sensitivity is also greatly reduced, especially near the curve of the screen. But what is truly unforgiveable is that the screen POPPED off and CRACKED the very first time I dropped it (about a week after installing it). It was a short drop of less than 3 feet. That's just not acceptable from a $45 product. My glass Zagg is STILL on my Galaxy S4 after what, 5 years? There is only glue around the edges, and it's not nearly strong enough. This product is a joke. I strongly DO NOT recommend.

      Hey there,

      Thank you so much for your extensive feedback on the Galaxy S9+ Alpha Glass, and we apologize that you're feeling so let down! It is definitely bizarre that the screen protector actually popped off of the device, and we're wondering if there may have been a misalignment issue at fault. If you're willing to give this another shot, our friendly Otters would be more than happy to send you a warranty replacement, along with some installation tips and tricks so that you have no such trouble going forward. Just give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll set up a claim with ease and haste!

      Additionally, should you run into any future touch sensitivity issues, we would recommend going into your phone settings, clicking on "Advanced Features," and turning your touch sensitivity function on. This will enhance your screen responsiveness, even with a screen protector!

      Hi!

      We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble using the screen with your Alpha Glass! The Galaxy S9+ actually has a setting that helps with situations that arise with screen sensitivity while using a glass screen protector. Hop into the settings on your phone, go into "advanced features," then scroll down to toggle the touch sensitivity option.

      If that doesn't improve things, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can look at getting you a replacement Alpha Glass.

Doing this should enhance your screen reactivity and get you back on track to seamless screen security as quickly as possible.

    Doesn't stick evenly, can hear it separated

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Can hear it separated when tapping the screen, which is annoying and affects screen sensitivity. It also has allowed small particles to gather between the screen protector and the screen itself. I am afraid to remove the screen protector to attempt to clean them, because it might ruin the screen protector if I try. I am also worried it might actually scratch my screen. It furthermore obstructs the screen itself, which isn't exactly great. Also I can see the dot matrix, which isn't that big of a deal. However, something with the screen protector makes it harder to see the screen in bright surroundings, even with screen brightness turned up. There is a significantly noticeable difference before and after using the screen protector. I'd like to get a replacement to try re-installing a new protector in hopes that maybe it will actually sit correctly on the phone this time. I do not know if it is covered by warranty or where to contact Otterbox, so I am writing this review instead. Also, yes, I used the installation instructions and tools, and installed it in a clean environment, with still air so no dust would settle, with clean hands, on a clean surface, and cleaned the screen to a point where I saw no smudges or dust on the screen prior to applying the protector.

    Not bad

    I just applied this screen protector and although it's not perfect, it looks good. I did have to increase the touch sensitivity on my phone. It also seems to be freaking out a bit when I type and starts e by tearing <<--- example. Entering weird stuff for me. I may just need to get use to it. It does not cover from entire corner to corner but it's not bad. You can see the glue on the sides but that also isnt a big deal for me. Clear space between protector and screen on top and bottom even wth a case... hopefully they design one that fully covers the screen. But for now this is enough till I decide i don't care if i scratch the screen, then I'll take it off

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this screen protector for my Galaxy s9 plus and its so frustrating, I am not sure if I installed it wrong or what (followed the simple directions) but when using my phone I have to press down really hard on certain parts of the screen, SUPER FRUSTRATING WHEN TEXTING. I thought it just needed time to adhere to my screen but nope 2 weeks later and still having issues! I had a Zagg screen protector on my S8 and did not have this issue! And now debating on purchasing a Zagg screen protector again since I just spent $40+ on this otterbox brand. Ugh I hate wasting money! At this point I do not recommend this item.

    I'm on my second one already in 2 months. Will be calling about a third shortly. They do not stick very well. I have followed thier directions twice now. My phone taps something and the screen protector falls right off. Both screen protectors have fell off the phone as my phone has hit something and they shattered as they lay beside the phone. They didn't even shatter stuck to the phone leaving my phone to be unprotected. Otterbox doesn't get in no hurry either to send your replacement even when their charging you to send it to you. This leave your phone unprotected for another week. Not to happy with thier screen protector and considering goin with a different one.

    Good but not perfect

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am a best buy employee who purchased this screen protector online, as it isn't available in store and the Zagg shields are all defective. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of the protector but I have some minor issues with it. Two things that bother me about the protector are that it only adheres around the edges letting moisture between the screen and shield, and at the right angle you can see a grid of dots all across the screen protector, probably from the manufacturing process. I would rate the quality as equal to that of the Zagg glass protectors for the S8/S8+ and would give this product 5 stars if not for those 2 small issues. It's important to remember to turn on "touch sensitivity" in your S9's advanced settings as the protector does impact screen sensitivity. Highly recommended, and a huge plus is that this is compatible with most cases (I use Tech21 on mine) and does not pop off. Based on the method of installation, I recommend letting a best buy mobile specialist install this for you. It's an $8 charge but it's worth it to have your $50 protector installed correctly.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The only good thing I can day about this protector is it's ability to not deter touch responsiveness (once you've went into settings and made your sensitivity higher, and it keeps your screen looking as it should. UNTIL, it breaks. My first one broke in my bed. It didn't even fall. The adhesive is ridiculously poor quality. After paying $7 for the warrantied product to show up over a week later. I followed all the rep's further instructions to make sure it held. It fell off in two days. I've had my s9+ for less than 3 months and have already been through 2 Alpha Glass screen protectors. And the Guardian case's rubber is already wearing out.

      Hey James,

      We are deeply sorry that you've been experiencing some recent misfortune with this Alpha Glass! There are a few different reasons why that glass might not be fitting seamlessly on your Galaxy S9+. For one, unfortunately, we are unable to test our screen protectors with third-party products, so we cannot 100% guarantee that this glass will work perfectly alongside a case that we don't make and test ourselves.

      While we certainly understand your chagrin towards the repetition of this issue, we're definitely in this for the long haul to make sure that your device stays protected for as long as possible! Please feel welcome to call our Otter detectives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll investigate this to the best of their ability. We'll be able to come up with a more permanent solution going forward so you can get back to stress-free security!

    Easy installation. Fits perfectly. No bubbles. I have the otterbox pursuit case, which is awesome by the way, and this glass screen protector fits perfectly with that case. I had a galaxy s5 before my recent s9+ purchase and always bought cheaper cases and screen protectors off of Amazon, but since I was spending big money on getting a new phone I decided to go otterbox and I feel like my phone is better protected. Again, this glass screen protector works perfectly. I would highly recommend it to anybody. I saw where some people had some problems on other reviews, but none here. I went ahead and turned my sensitivity up on my settings, but I don't know if its really necessary.

    I had high Hope's for this screen protector, especially after purchasing several failures. It definitely had some sensitivity issues. It also cracked the first time I dropped it. I expected more from Otterbox. I feel like I threw $25 down the drain. I just bought another screen protector from a different company. So far, so good.

      Hi Daisy,

      We're so sorry to hear this Alpha Glass didn't quite meet your expectations. This screen protector wasn't actually designed to be indestructible as it was more intended to absorb the brute of impacts that would've compromised the display otherwise. As long as your screen has survived all drops, we'll still call it a win and skip straight to the part where we send you a brand-new Alpha Glass.

      If you're willing to give this screen protector one more shot, we would be more than happy to help you out. Simply just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and you'll be back on track to seamless security!

    I wanted the best protection for my S9+ and purchased the OtterBox case and screen protector separately since no one has thought to package together.. It appeared to be of good quality.. Then it all went downhill.. The screen protector would constantly separate, clicking when used and allow dust between the screen and protector. It finally just fell off..For the cost I expected a far better product from Otter.. So now I am back to no screen protector and out the money I wasted on this junk..

    I've bought two of these. Same problem with both. Spent 15 minutes prepping and cleaning and making sure I am in a dust free environment. Then as soon as I place it on there is a little bit of dust that attracts to the underside of the screen protector. It wasn't on the phone it was on the protector both times. Good luck peeling it off and getting the dust off and getting it to stick down again without a rainbow effect..and if you do try to clean it then it scratches and becomes worthless...which is what this product is. WORTHLESS! From a company that makes great cases they made a really crappy screen protector. I will not waste anymore money on these. Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice...well it's my fault I got burnt twice on these. And if you work for Otterbox don't even bother telling me to call you. I threw this where it belonged...in the garbage. I'll just wait for a better product to come to the market.

We regret not knowing about the situation sooner, as we would have been able to send you a replacement glass and assist you with installation.
