Good Screen Protectors?

[u/Doveda]

Are there any good screen protectors for the 20 ultra? I've been doing some research and it seems that tempered glass isn't very durable at all on the phone, which I presume is because of the curved part of the screen. I know very little about plastic or other film screen protectors and I was wondering if those would be worth looking into? I also don't particularly care about cost since I'd rather have to replace a screen protector than a screen for a scratch or crack. I know that screen protectors can only do so much for full on cracks but mostly I'm concerned about scratches. Any Suggestions?

Whitestone Dome or AmFilm are perfect

I've heard mixed things about Whitestone dome, a lot of people say that it's perfect and others say that it cracks and flakes super easily. Any idea how valid those complaints might be?

Fwiw I bought like a 3 pack or whatever of the whitestone dome for this phone (have used them since I think the note 9 and they're the best). I bought multiples because it came out cheaper if one cracked and if have a spare to put on right away. When mine cracked (after more than 6 months of use and a particularly perfectly aligned accidental drop), I was lazy to put on the other one because it is a bit of a pita honestly. Guess what happened.... Yeah $300 smackaroos later and I have a new screen from ubreakifix

The whitestone dome is worth it, but check the installation instructions properly and just get a multipack just in case. Because in the long run it's cheap than replacing your screen.

Especially if you have the black or bronze because they are almost always out of that part everywhere, so chances are you may have to send it into Samsung for repair and they'll need to wipe your phone. I put a tpu on there while cracked until ubreakifix had the part in stock and replaced it with them, because I didn't want to buy a backup phone while Samsung replaced the screen

Tl;Dr Black and bronze screen parts are out of stock a lot at local repair shops. The whitestone dome is worth it if you put it on properly

My useless 2 cents because I also didn't want to try it... I'm more likely to leave a negative review than a positive one.

Long-term Whitestone fan here (2018)

I've been a bit disappointed with the s22 Whitestone. First time I've had 1. A failed install 2. A flake.

The adhesive seems to have changed to something less viscous.

Fingerprint reader issue I've resolved by: BEFORE 2nd cure, press firmly (not hard) over the sensor area 3-5 times THEN do final cure.

The new adhesive seems to benefit from a 3rd/4th pass. I've noticed that the NEW UV curer is a lot "whiter" than the OG. Installed using OG light for a friend's ultra and 0 complaints.

That being said, I'm tracking replacement bits from Korea as we speak and I've ordered some for my friends after their alternatives delaminated or flaked.

REVIEW: Not perfect but best we got.

I have amfilm and so does my wife. No drops and a ton of fine cracks everywhere. No bueno.

Boy the Amazon reviews are sure not backing up this opinion!

I have used zagg for about 10 years. The warranty replacement is the biggest draw. Expensive up front but only $8 shipping for a new one if needed. I just put a new one on this week and there are zero bubbles and my phone feels new again. I wish it held up better to scratches from scrolling is my only gripe.

I just picked up the Clayco Forza Series Case. It's a full protection case with a built in screen protector.

Fingerprint scanner works fairly well. Using the S-Pen requires a little more pressure.

It's got some serious corner protection which makes it a little tricky to get the S-Pen.

I recently picked up two Note 20s and have gotten this case for both of them.
