I am an iPhone user, however I decided since I was due for an upgrade I would get the S8+ as I enjoy Android and IOS.. well I have always been intrigued and wanted to try the wireless charging and it is great. This device works as it should, charges much quicker as stated. It's nice and simple and seems to work great without needing to be placed perfectly into it's "sweet spot". I would definitely recommend!.

Well first off I will say I use ZAGG on all of my phones, I have one on my 7+ and bought this for my S8+ that I received yesterday. ZAGG has excellent quality, but I do believe that this one needs to go back to the drawing board to find a better way to build the edges of this protector so it fully sticks to the screen and stays there. Also as with all of my other ZAGG products, never have had any issues with bubbles whatsoever, or none that just refused to disappear, and ANY they ever had ( 3-4 at most ) disappeared in 12 hours at worst.
The screen protector will lift if you are not very careful when taking a case off, I actually had mine pop up and off the phone BUT managed to place it back on without any dust/hair etc. getting under it. The screen protector itself looks good on the phone and offers the protection the company is known for minus the edges... also with the very outer edges not wanting to stay stuck to the phone, dirt does get trapped under it ( as you can see in the picture ).
In final I say for $49.99 it is hard to pull the trigger on this knowing the issue, to pay $49 ... It took me 20 minutes to decide to just go for it ONLY because I like the company and just hate the screen being open to accidents with no protection. So far all has been good minus the edges not wanting to stay 100% planted, it also hasn't popped off again.
There may be others companies out there who have figured out a way to make it stay planted, so there are other options for cheaper possibly. Maybe they will get this figured out eventually, curved screens are still fairly new so it may take a while before they 100% have it down.
I would recommend the company to anyone for a screen protector, but for this phone I would say if the issues I mentioned bug you don't go for it.

Best Insurance policy for your phone

I have always used Otterbox cases plus a few others but this case is great. I have to say this new design they tried for the Iphone 5 is 10x better than the former case for the 4 and 4s, the silicone or rubber they use is way more durable, doesn't stretch over time and feels a lot better in the hand. I really can't find anything bad to say about this even when I try to think of them, maybe that dust manages to get under the protector BUT I've experienced this in every case.
I will say the 2 best cases for an Iphone are the Otterbox Defender or the Ballistic case. Both are extremely durable and have dropped them many of time with no problems whatsoever with the cases or phone. You can get the insurance policy for 9.99 with a 200 deductable... or you can buy a 30-60 dollar case and not worry about any of that.
It gets my 2 thumbs up.
What's great about it: Covers drops 100%, very durable, looks great
What's not so great: None

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard Lens: This compact, lightweight lens features excellent Gaussian optics and multicoated glass to produce consistently exceptional results, making it ideal for everyday use. It's versatile enough to be effective in a variety of shooting situations and has a fast 1.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance.

I love my nifty fifty I have had it for a little over 7 months. The bokeh this lens produces is very nice for the price tag. My only problem is it seems to REALLY front and back focus a lot, even manually focusing is tough to get it tack sharp sometimes. It could just be my lens but I have also read of many others with this problem. I had one a year or so ago and never had it happen so could just be random. For the price overall it's a great and must have, 1.8 is almost not worth using due to losing a lot of sharpness, it best perform at 2.8 and above. If you have the money I would recomment getting the 50mm 1.4 for around $300-350. But on the plus side, if you get this lens and it has issues atleast you aren't out $1000's. I would recommend this to friends.

This subwoofer features an injection-molded SoloKön woofer cone with a double-stitched, ribbed santoprene surround for durability. The progressive-roll polycotton spider with Spiralead technology delivers clear audio, so you can rock out on the go.

Well to start off I am a guy who likes to have that hard hitting bass with my music, I appreciate quality and am not partial to just one brand. I just purchased this Kicker a few days ago and all I can say is GREAT!.
I have been running an Alpine Type E 12" and it has been great, with a Sony Xplod amp ( Definately going to upgrade soon ) since around the beginning of 2007. Stock head unit the whole time, I finally purchased a Kenwood KDC-HD548U last week and figured I may as well go ahead and get a newer subwoofer... What a difference in the sound. The Alpine hit good but... This Kicker blows it away and When I get a better amp I can just imagine how much more it will improve & a custom box. You can't go wrong with this Sub honestly, worth the money all day long!. I would definately recommend it to my friends and anybody looking to buy one, go for it!.

Is this cover guaranteed to work as far as not popping off of my phone when I put a case on it or just popping off in general? Will it be replaced if I have problems with it?
Not guaranteed at all... I had to talk myself into buying it after reading the first review left on it. It did pop off of mine taking my case off and it wasn't a ton of pressure, luckily I got it back on before it was ruined. It will be replaced under ZAGG warranty though, just make sure to register it after you buy it.

Is this a tempered glass protector or a film?
