If you put your phone in your pocket, screen protectors can be a life saver. Change or car keys dangling in your pocket can very quickly scratch up and damage your screen. You definitely don't want that happening on your brand new Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+, so a screen protector is definitely the way to go.
We've listed a handful of screen protectors that are sure to keep your Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ safe.
Anneks Ghost Shield Self-Healing Screen Protector
Because of the curved display, not every screen protector is going to play nice with the Galaxy S8. Anneks' Ghost Shield screen protector, however, does. It offers full coverage from a self-healing material that repairs itself after receiving minor damage. And it's shock-ready; therefore, you can drop your phone and not have to worry about any visible damage on the display.

Trianium Soft Skin Screen Protector
These screen protectors are basically top of the line. Although the entire application process takes about 6-8 hours before you can use your phone, the time is completely worth it. In the application kit, you'll receive several items, among which you'll find the “Magic Spray.” This spray will allow you to do what is called a “wet application,” which is ideal for getting the screen protector on just right, with no pesky hidden dust or unwanted bubbling. The material itself is a softer than your typical plastic-y feeling protectors, and the picture is crystal clear.

Also, applying a screen protector has never been easier, because you actually apply it wet, which makes repositioning a cinch, without having to throw it away and start over with another.
