Put Flip8-specific tempered glass on the 4.1-inch FlexWindow, and leave the 6.9-inch inner screen with the film Samsung fitted. FlexWindow glass has to be shaped around the camera lenses, so buy a listing that names the Flip8.

FlexWindow: where a protector matters
A closed Flip sits face-down on tables and rattles around in pockets with keys and coins, and the FlexWindow is the surface doing the touching. The FlexWindow shares its panel with the camera lenses, so its protector is an odd shape with cut-outs around them. That's why you need the exact model: a Flip7 FlexWindow protector is only safe if the maker lists the Flip8 too.
Many kits include separate lens covers. They're worth fitting, since the lenses sit slightly proud of the glass.
Inner screen: keep Samsung's film
The inner display uses Samsung's Ultra Thin Glass, a flexible glass layer, with a factory-fitted protective film on top. As with the Fold, don't remove that film and don't add tempered glass: rigid glass can't bend. If the factory film lifts at the crease over time, Samsung service can replace it.
What to buy
Questions people ask
Do Galaxy Z Flip7 screen protectors fit the Flip8?
Not reliably. FlexWindow protectors are shaped around the camera lenses, so only use one if the maker lists the Flip8.
Should I peel off the Flip8's inner screen protector?
No. Samsung fits it at the factory as part of the folding screen's protection. Get it replaced by Samsung if it wears.
