I would have really rather gotten the iPhone you have the 10 or X but they are back ordered so long that I decided to get the 8 and when I upgrade I’ll move to the 10 at that point. I was ready to leave android after having been there for the last year plus. To answer your question about the front I used the silver Zagg luxe screen protector because that’s what I used on my last iPhone I had which was the 6s and I liked it. It just gives my iPhone a unique and different look which was the entire motivation behind the customization. I like to customize things. I won’t use the silver front forever but I will for a while or until it’s tine to get a new screen protector and at that point I’ll just go back to a clear one and let the space grey show. It’s not because I dislike the space grey as in fact it’s my favorite color of the the iPhone 8. I just wanted to totally customize my new iPhone 8 out completely and so I decided to use the silver Zagg luxe screen protector. I almost left it clear but I decided to go ahead and customize it all as I wanted something no one else had and I wanted it to be different so I it’s not that I dislike space grey but the best thing is it’s not permanent and I can remove both at any time if I want a different look. Right now I’m happy with it. After a while I’ll probably change it up to another look or at least a different skin color. If I don’t get another skin I ordered a Red leather apple case that arrived today which I’ll use then. I just like Red as it’s my favorite color so that’s why I chose red and bought the leather apple case in red. So the way my phone looks now is what I initially visioned and it it turned out better than I expected but it won’t always be this set up as it just a skin and screen protector after all which can be changed after a while. When I change I’ll keep my red skin but go to a clear screen protector and add my leather apple red case. For now I’m not going to use a case. I might on occasion but not much right now.
