Has anyone found any good tempered glass? UK owner here.
I have the Spigen - Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Screen Protector GLAS.tR EZ Fit (2-pack). The fingerprint reader takes a major hit with glas protector vs with naked. But it works alright if you don't have super dry fingerstips. I do have Samsung's own plastic screenprotectors waiting on the side. I hear they work well with the fingerprint reader.
I have the glas paired up with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 5G - Black. It's a great combo.
So it's better to just stick with the TPU protectors to avoid problems with the fingerprint scanner?
You need to delete your finger prints and reregister after installing a glass screen protector otherwise it won't work very well

That's true, but still the fingerprint won't work nearly as good as without a screen protector glas. Fingertip must be a little bit moist for it to work well. If it's dry, it won't work at all. I'm tempted to remove this and test out the Samsung's own plastic screen protector.
Don't forget....

Any got the Whitestone dome tempered glass one? They are usually pretty good when I've had them on pixels. £55 is expensive though

Hey, did you stick the glass on first and put it in the case or first the case then the glass?

The glass first because the easy fit system won't fit with a case on.

Just realised I'd ordered the Whitestone for the s23 not the plus version
Surprised that fp still sucks on the galaxy series. Op 7T I'm now, fp works 100% of the time with and tempered glass.

That is the way with the ultrasonic sensors, they don't like glass protectors. On the other hand, they are faster and better (most of the cases) with plastic protectors or without protection. On the other, other hand...they suck with dry fingers. My wife can't use the reader on s22 at all and for me it is lightning fast.

Oh noes, I'm coming from a 7T without a screen protector and I use my fingerprint sensor probably 100+ times a day lol. I ordered a Spigen tempered glass screen protector. I hope I can get my fingerprint to recognize relatively accurately..
My phone should be here tomorrow but the screen protector won't be here till the following day. Not gonna run my new galaxy naked, my 7t has a couple micro scratches that bug me.
had no issues with the fingerprint on mine, although ive not got a protector on yet. I might not bother as i really like this phone without one.
I don't pay more than £10 for TG but since Samsung struggles with it, I may get the Spigen one

I'm using the AmFilm tempered glass myself. Works really well. Initially, it was a bit spotty after I put it on, but then I just deleted and readded my fingerprints and it works super fast. I also really liked the applicator kit that came with this. It has a HUGE dust remove sticker that covers the whole screen, so my application is crystal clear.

The only time it hiccups is when my fingers are either really wet or really dry - and TBH, that's no different than how the scanner worked before the screen protector was applied.
I don't know if they have Best Buy in the UK, but I picked up their brand of tempered glass. It was 2 for $15 USD. Other than a tiny bubble on the left side you can only see when the screen is all white, I'm really happy with it. It also seems to be staying pretty clean. My fingers don't smudge it up too badly. I almost paid $40 for the Zagg but decided to give the Best Buy brand a shot. So far so good.
I use the spigen ones as well and have for multiple devices over the years. I like their camera lens protectors also. Amazon prices are much cheaper than their website prices.

What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since sgs4 have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?
i never bothered because they're so expensive and i screw up the screen anyways so the film type are more easily replaceable
ill probably end up buying 2 or 3 cases and end up using only screen protectors in most situations lol.
to me i rarely drop my phone but i have trouble keeping it out of my pocket with my keys and change, other things. ive been pretty good about it but not perfect.
First off my only problem with tempered glass on my S3 was that it messed with screen responsiveness... Now the ones for the S4 are mostly half the thickness of last years so that should help that problem a lot. The iLoome protector fort the S4 is fully clear and I assume it has adhesive over the entire surface. The sense of mind you get with glass is great. Plus the feel of glass is much better than that of other screen protectors. If you can find one that doesn't take away from screen sensitivity than i'd say it's definitely worth it if you care about your phone.

I have a "Flexible Glass Screen Protector" on my S3 that has adhesive all across the back. I have only removed it once in the couple month's that I've had it. I have not encountered any dust getting between the two pieces of glass. The adhesion has not deteriorated any either. I am very happy with it and I really am hoping I will be able to locate one for my S4. The only draw back that I have found is that the thicker protector limits the cases you can use. My favorite cover before I got the protector was the Seidio Surface case and it no longer can be used. I also like my Otterbox Defender case and I was able to "squeeze" it on after I removed the plastic protector that came on the cover. It's a tight fit, but it does work.

It isn't 6mm thick, that would be +70% the thickness of the entire phone! lol
Maybe 0.6mm, that would still be very thick for a screen protector.
Spigen film is the way to go... $14 for two protectors and easy to install...
Just watched a review of the Spigen Glas.tR and it is also CLEAR!

I had a glass protector on my GS3 (XGear Spectre, I think) and it worked fine - no loss of sensitivity. It did allow some tiny dust in, but it was easy to lift and wipe it out the couple of times it happened over 8 months. And the week before my S4 came in, I managed to drop the S3 on its face...the screen protector cracked, and the phone is still perfect. Looking at the Spigen one next week just because of that.

Okay, I found the ad for the flexible glass protector. I ordered it on eBay, this one is very similar even though it is for the Note 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...193&pid=100040&prg=1011&rk=1&sd=230950051927&
I love this screen protector and am hoping that I will be able to get one for the new S4.
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
I also had the one everyone was talking about at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920757
But, like someone said previously, it had adhesive only on the outside edges and dust or dirt could get underneath the protector.
I ended up breaking it on the corner when I removed it to clean beneath it.
That does look like a nice one.
I bought the Spigen Slim Glass screen protector and I am 100% satisified. Zero less in screen sensitivity and it feels smooth as, well, glass

Spigen GLAS.t SLIM = non-rounded borders - (0.23mm) - thinner
Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM = rounded borders (0.4mm)
You're correct the t is the thinner material. Either way it feels great and installs fairly easily.
I had the glas for the s2, I LOVED(easy to clean the screen of finger oils) it, however, it attracted dust underneath the screen protector due to adhesive being only at the edges, I took it off after a couple of months. With the full adhesive, i will definitely buy again for my soon to arrive S4. Especially since I just dropped my s2 face down on the ground and broke the screen a couple weeks back (without case), the glas would serve as a shield.
Hey everyone
I have just bought a Samsung Note 9 and awaiting it to be delivered to me.
I always use tempered glass screen protectors but I am worried about using the S-pen with the protectors.
Does anyone know if you can use a tempered glass screen protector with the S-pen effectively.

I have the white stone dome protector and it works flawlessly with the S pen You don't even need to turn up the screen sensitivity
I wondered about liquid screen protection and I am watching one on EBay but I was wondering if normal versions work as well....i don't want to fork out all that extra if normal tempered glass works just as good as well.
I purchased the MP-MALL tempered protector and have not issues with the S-PEN. Looks good and hopefully will protect well. It is on amazon for about $12
Go with WhiteStone Dome they are tried and true. The best tempered glass I have ever used and it worked with the S-Pen and alot of cases I have tried.
Zagg one seems to work fine, imo it registers the pen better than finger keyboard stroke.
I bought a few different brands on Amazon. They all showed up in the same brown box with different labels printed out, they are fairly sharp at the top and bottoms. T-mobile has a glass cover that os actually tapered and smooth. They all work amazingly well with the pen. Although sensitivity does need to be turned up for finger use. I downloaded a multi Touch test app to confirm

The only down side is that they are over priced and they do crack easily as reported by many.
The Mocolo is half the money and is made with 9H hardness which the White Stone isn’t. The Moloco is as good or better as the whitestone, as responsive and as easy to apply.

I'm not worried about a $40 screen protector when I just paid $1,300 for the phone. I've had the screen protector on multiple phones now and I have not cracked or had any issues with any of them. Unless you're a complete klutz and you drop your phone multiple times a day you won't have any cracking issues.
i bought glass protector from aliexpress similar to whitestone dome but a lot cheaper one piece cost around 5$ only
'
first one was not perfect good thing i bought 2 extra
second piece i installed it and it fit perfectly on the screen only thing i installed a bit lower than it should be
so it almost touch the case from the lower side but there is a big gap on the upper side
i got a bubble on the lower side from testing several case because as i said it installed lower than it should be.
the spen and finger worked perfectly with it and alot better than the regular glass with matrix dots the stick from the sides only and i did not turn on screen sensitivity on both protectors
I had the ghetto whitestone setup on my Note 8 (LOCA glued a regular tempered glass screen) and now the whitestone on my Note 9. No issues at all and no changing of screen sensitivity.

I await your future posts about glue making a mess and bubbled lifting corners. Just get a wet applied plastic film , not perfect but definitely less hassle and no issues with sensitivity, I don't even have that extra sensitivity option turned on my device.

This is my experience, as well.
They should work perfectly fine as S-Pen functions using electro-magnetism. Via the electro-magnetic Wacoom digitizer underneath the display.

Hey everyone... Thought I would update you on on my Note 9 and screen protector issue... in the end I went with the Liquid screen Protector but I didn't get WhiteStone Glass.... I used a cheaper alternative and it works really well.... Also looks really vivid.
The Ebag seller who I got it from is called Itocorp but they seems to be out of stock at the moment.
Which one do you recommend for the S10e? Right now I'm still using the default protector which was applied by Samsung, but I don't really like it.
i ordered one on ebay but i have a feeling it's flat not edge to edge full cover for 10e. They use generic photoshopped stock photo for all 3 models and claim it's curved. I think 10e has 2.5D edge. Not completely flat. I'm also using the garbage thin film they included. For $800 scumsung could include high quality glass and case. I also ordered glass for rear cameras. Never seen or used one before. Not sure what to expect.
tried ESR tempered glass and MP mall tempered glass from amazon
both do not stick on side, ESR is off by like 0.75 mm because of 2.5D curve of glass, it does not stick on side. so dont waste your money on these two, i am still looking for one may be just a bit smaller than ESR.
temporarily ordering a film protector till i find a tempered glass which fits right.
I'm using the PureGear HD Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7S174H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_byaHCbZY5Q1N0
It only has adhesive on the edges so there is no bubbles. It is case friendly and is a decent alternative to the whitedome which remains the superior choice for the 2.5D screens.

how is touch sensitivity and does is create rainbow effect like some tempered glass with adhesive on side do?
Keep in mind aftermarket screen protecters (especially glass ones) will have problems with the fingerprint reader.
Im using the samsung one for now until some testing and revising is done
No rainbow effect and if you increase touch sensitivity in the settings it works great. I have no real complaints.

Yes, that's exactly what you are seeing. The S10e does indeed have a factory installed plastic screen protector. You can really feel it around the camera as there's a cutout for the camera. I would expect it to scratch rather quickly, plus I don't think it provides nearly as much drop protection as a tempered glass one might.
I'm following along here hoping that there does wind up being an economical tempered glass screen protector that works well and doesn't life at the edges. Seems like this will be similar to my S7, where I was never really able to find something that works and just went naked.
Thank you for the response I've just been so confused with everyone saying the S10 and S10+ have one but not the S10e. I think you're right it is just a polyurethane plastic protector. And just a heads up I tried to apply a tempered glass protector over top of it and it definitely made it hard for the edges to stick.

I had the same confusion. All of the media I've seen say the pre-installed one is only on the S10 and S10+, but if you look around the camera on the S10e, there's clearly a cutout that confirms there is a pre-installed screen protector on there. I'm still not exactly sure how to get it off. I picked around the edges a bit and nothing is coming up easily.
I'm not sure how well the edges of a tempered glass one will stick even if you took off the pre-installed one. I haven't seen any reports of an economical one that works yet. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as I am with my S7 and be forced to go without one.

I ordered an Alinsea glass protector from amazon, sounds like a knock off of a Whitestone from their description. It doesn't have a cut out for the front facing camera, which is great, as a cut out just seems to collect pocket lint. I have not received it yet.

I got one. First time doing an install of this type and given the barebones installation tools provided, it was above average difficultly. First one ended up with bubbles.
I had a previous case with a screen protector built in for my S9+ and it worked great, but I'm having issues now. I found this one:
Case with Protector, but it says not compatible with fingerprint ID. I assume this is because of the fingerprint built into the screen?
Does anyone know of a case that has a screen protector AND works with the fingerprint reader? Or is the built in protector not possible due to the fingerprint reader in the screen now?
I would assume no built in screen protectors will work..in order for the FPS to work, the screen protector has to basically be attached to the screen with zero air gap between phone and protector..

and this was on the S10+?
For screen protector I would go with whitestone dome. For me it acts the same as if I had the preinstalled samsung film. I would then go on amazon and check out reviews and questions for whitestone dome. People tend to post their comparable cases. I am using the UAG Monarch and it fits without a problem.
I HIGHLY recommend the Whitestone protectors. The adhesive makes them SUBSTANTIALLY more chip/crack resistant and the touch sensitivity is light years ahead of other protectors (like ZAGG). It was my go-to on Note and now S10+.
I am a minimalist and finally found a case that's thin but also adds SOME protection. TORRAS on Amazon. The hard plastic has a matte finish, amazing touch and feel but little protection. The silicone option is thin, has ridges to protect camera and screen but slides in pants and pockets easily. It DOES offer drop protection relatively.

I actually just picked up the TORRAS Slim on Amazon, not sure if it's the same one you have. Currently I'm using the Spigen Rugged Armor... but it's too thin in my opinion.

It appears there are already a ton of screen protectors, and I definitely want to get one. My preference is glass or a hybrid, not a tpu. I've been looking at the zaggs but they are expensive. However, I have one on my galaxy watch 4 and I have yet to have even a scratch on it (self healing).
So, what are you getting, did you get?
Whitestone Dome Premium Film is what I ordered. Will install it as soon as my S22U arrives
I have the Whitestone Dome glass 2pk from Amazon and it offered like a 30% off coupon I believe. I received the S22 Ultra delivery late in the day, so I haven't had a chance to set it up yet. But early tomorrow morning I'll install the Dome glass. It was perfect on my N20 Ultra, so I'm sure it'll be great on the S22 Ultra.
Got the Amfilm UV tempered glass. I'm terrible with these installations and botched the install. Good thing Amfilm has a lenient warranty unlike Whitestone. I also see a white halo around the fingerprint scanner when looking at white screens probably due to the the provided weight. They also didn't provide speaker stickers. Would probably not recommend Amfilm for this phone.

I installed the Amfilm and had a few bubbles appear. Did not need speaker sticker cause the glue never leaked passed the glass which was great. I contacted Amfilm and they are sending me a replacment glass for the one that had the bubbles. I also used Amfilm on my Note 20 Ultra and it works great. I used to use whitestone dome but it would always start to peel away on the edges. The Amfilm did not have that isssue and would last longer than a year with no peeling.
Zagg Fusion Curve. Had the guy at best buy put it on and it looks good. I don't have the patience anymore to install them and bubbles drive me crazy.
I have the Whitestone tempered glass on my S22 Ultra and was a flawless install and works great, some people have reported issues with the Whitestone tempered glass one with the FPR, but I have no issue with it.
If y'all get a good case you wouldn't even need a screen protector. I have had the s7 Edge, Note 8 and S20 Ultra and every time I traded in to Samsung the phones were in prestine condition without a single scratch anywhere on phone.
Th s7 Edge and Note 8 spent their life in an OtterBox Commuter case and most of every day in my jeans pocket while at work. With the S20 Ultra and S22 Ultra I stepped up to the OtterBox Defender Pro with belt clip. My 20 Ultra fell on the concrete floor of our restaurant kitchen 3 times and never sustained scratch because the OtterBox protected it.
I also never wipe my screen with anything but a microfiber eye glass lens cleaning cloth. I use Zeiss lens cleaner as well because it doesn't have alcohol and safe for eye glass coatings so it good for your phone screen too.
Not a marketing rep for OtterBox it's just my experience with their cases. The Commuter is good for people that want to keep phone in pockets. The Defender is good for people that work in harsh conditions and want to wear it on there belt. Point being a good case will save your phone in a fall and that fancy screen protector is not going to save your phone. The point is it is supposed to protect against scratches. But I have had 4 phones with Gorilla glass from Samsung and never scratched any of them with normal usage and having a good case protecting the phone.
The most important thing is never ever wipe your phone screen with a paper towel or chemical cleaners like Windex. Always use microfiber and lens cleaner. You don't need to carry lense cleaner around everywhere you go. Just use it when you home and carry the tiny microfiber cloth in your back pocket when on the go.
That's my experience on with phones without screen protectors. If your really want a screen protector by all means go buy one but they are not really necessary unless your extremely careless and don't have your phone in a case.
I like Matte finish to get rid of some glare so I went with the Skinomi Matte wet install film.
I went with the Mowei tempered glass screen protector. It comes in a pack of three and a very nice installation cradle to ensure a perfect application. I chose it over Whitestone or amFilm because it covers the entire front without the U-shaped cutout around the front camera.
I like this TPU (https://amzn.to/3sdn6HQ) screen protector. Took about 30 seconds to install, no bubbles, no orange peal... honestly looks like nothing is there. No edge lifting either for the 3 days I've had the phone so far.

Is it full adhesive? Or does it have the glue over the fingerprint reader?
it is full adhesive it came out nice. I rescanned my fingerprints after and works great.
I'm using the note 20 ultra lk tpu film and it fits perfect!

Good to hear as I ordered this one and the Whitestone. They're both waiting for my graphite Ultra to arrive. I will try the ZAGG first since it's not as involved as the other.
One question though... Is the ZAGG glass, hybrid, or film? I won't open it until it's time to put it on.
Spigen Neo Flex. I've been using it since s8. It's reall easy to apply (wet application with possible realignment) and fairly durable for a plastic.
On a side note - it seems to be a little bit harder than neoflex for n20u which i was previously using
I had a matte hydrogel screen protector installed. Been on the matte screen protector bandwagon since the OG Galaxy S

I just got this same one last night from Verizon. Looks good and doesn't feel like a plastic film at all. FP sensor works wonderfully as well.
I remember when I had the Note 20 Ultra and my screen got a micro scratch on the first week.. I was so upset. Always got to have a screen protector on now. For my S22 Ultra, I got the ZAGG InvisibleShield for $50.. with lifetime replacement at bestbuy.
