iPhone 8 Plus Screen Protector Hot Check

Go to solution Solved by Daniel Z.,

Hi, I just wanted a quick hot check before I buy a new screen protector for my future iPhone 8 Plus. I've always used Spigen tempered glass screen protectors and so I decided to go with Spigen once more for my 8 Plus.

 

I found on Amazon that Spigen sells the same model of screen protector and has listed it as compatible with iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, but the packaging itself says the screen protector is for the iPhone 7 Plus.

 

I took a look at GSMArena and compared the dimensions of both devices.

  • iPhone 7 Plus - 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm
  • iPhone 8 Plus - 158.4 x 78.1 x 7.5 mm

The screens on both devices are the exact same size as well.

 

Just wanted to check, I can absolutely buy this screen protector and have it fully cover the screen of my 8 Plus despite the packaging saying it's for the 7 Plus, right?

The fronts of the 7 Plus, and 8 Plus are exactly the same. I'd recommend this screen protector, I used the iPhone XR version and it was great.

Thank you for the confirmation! I already have the 2 pack of the Spigen protectors in mind as I've used them previously on my 6s,.

They actually arent. The 7 and 8 have larger ear pieces to accommodate the stereo speakers. A 6 style screen protector wouldn't work.
