Any Good? Samsung Screen Protector | Galaxy S23 Ultra

[@user-ij8no5zw6u-]

Everyone forgets to clean the blue peels before laying them over the screen. It doesn't matter how you clean the screen if you introduce dust particles the the screen protector peels. Many times you need to use the dust sticker the moment you lift off the first part because there're particles underneath already. Mine was installed absolutely perfectly with not a single spec of dust or anything.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I ended up dong another install after I recorded this, and it turned out perfect as well. I struggle doing these on camera, I'm at a real weird angle when doing this, makes it tough.

[@revolution108]

Just some constructive feedback on how to install it properly. You removed the middle section (Part 1) and then touched it with your fingers, don't do that. After removing Part 1, what is exposed is the actual screen protector itself, so you are just adding in dust and oil to it which will ruin the install. In fact try your best to not touch any part of the face down section at all. Also when you squeegy it down, place the phone on something grippy so the phone won't slide. Then squeegy it out in 1 continuous smooth action and not tiny bit at a time.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Vincent, thanks for watching! I appreciate your inputs on installing this, I'll definitely keep this in mind when I put the second one on later this weekend. The first one had a tiny speck that was driving me nuts. To be completely honest, I'm way out of my comfort zone doing these installs on camera, they just don't seem to go well, lol.

[@esperanzanemec7003]

Lol! I saw him doing that.

[@RADERTECH]

@@esperanzanemec7003 Yeah, ha ha, a little clumsy with the install on camera :)

[@DerOllie]

I have this one installed to, and works fine for mine. Around the edges stays on. Had some bubbles, but indeed, after a couple of days to a week, the bubbles were gone! Seems pretty good!

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching!

[@gilleojax]

I've used the Dome glass screen protector on my S22U and had great results. Fingerprint sensor worked even with the glass over top.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by again! Thanks for the recommendation, I really appreciate it. If this one doesn't work out, I'll give them a shot.

[@digitalchadtech]

I've gave up on screen protectors on my S22 Ultra. Sometimes, I worry. Other times, I see it as an upgrade path to the S23. Interesing install.

[@RADERTECH]

Hey Chad, thanks for stopping by again! Ha ha, I know what you mean. I've seen countless reddit posts of screen protectors just not staying "stuck' on the S22 Ultra, seems like a common thing. It seems like most of these companies have their own little spin on the install now, they all seem to come with some alignment gizmo.

[@danhartman6014]

I've been running with no screen protectors on my last several Galaxy devices. I haven't had an issue. I tried the White Stone Dome on the Note 20 Ultra, but I couldn't stand the sharp edges. I also hated that the FPS was unreliable once installed. And for what the WSD cost, I figured I could save the money and pay for a new screen with the insurance deductible. It's been years since I broke a phone screen... with these Samsung protectors being only $15 (and I didn't realize you get 2 for that price), I am considering getting them. I'll be watching to see your longer term review. I said I wasn't going to upgrade with the $500 S22 Ultra trade-in, but you (and other you tubers and forum members) broke me down. I finally decided that even if they raised the trade-in later, I wouldn't get the same value since I got the 512GB upgrade for free, the $150 in credits, plus I used Rakuten so I'm getting another $110 back. Can't wait for my lime S22 Ultra to arrive!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Dean, thanks for stopping by again, appreciate you! Congrats on getting it, I think you're going to love it. The battery life is outstanding, and the phone as a whole just feels very polished, hardware and software. I went ahead and removed this screen protector just a few hours after installing it. There was a speck of dust under it on the right side near the power button, and I can't hang with that. I also didn't like how scratched up it looked after just a couple hours of using it. Little tiny scratches that would never get scratched into an actual phone screen. They started to look real ugly. I don't know, I might end up trying out the second one that came in the pack at some point, but I'm going to go without one for a while. Especially since I'm currently using the s view wallet case, it helps keep the screen protected when it's in my pocket.

[@danhartman6014]

@RADER TECH thanks for the update. I think I'll save my 15 bucks and just rock it with no protector like I have done for several years. I guess I can see why some people find it necessary, but I'm careful with my devices, and I like the way the device feels with no protecror.

[@Coup0705]

@@danhartman6014 The previous galaxy device do come with screen protector,

[@danhartman6014]

@Coup0705 not in the U.S. I've been using Samsung since the original Galaxy phone and never had a pre-installed screen protector in the U.S.

[@Coup0705]

@Dan Hartman There should be a thin flim screen protector till S21. From reddit, it seems to be the same for US devices.

[@ThomasOsaki]

just did this install. they do give you two screen films because you will definitely not do it right the first time. the 2nd film should go on better (once you realize that following their instructions is a failure and use your own finger to apply sections slowly).

[@rayjj]

I have a no name brand one that came with a clear case I bought. Install same as this one. 4 days now and the edges are still on. Every protector I used on my S22 Ultra all peeled in no time, especially once putting the case on.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Ray, thanks for watching! That's great to hear that you're having good luck with one on the S23 Ultra, seems the less rounded edges are helping.

[@rayjj]

@RADER TECH I still have some S22U protectors around, if this one goes will try out one of them. Cases for S22U fit the 23, only difference I see is one tiny hole on top of the phone (assuming it's a mic) is slightly offset.

[@1_one]

No adapter, no headphones, no usb otg adapter, no spare stylus tips, no pre-installed screenprotector, no stickers (oh wait...) .... Samsung becomes really greedy nowadays😂

[@boyztoyz2045]

Bro does it fit with Ringkee case? please reply I'm from India

[@ksimpson1956]

not putting one on mine as the one i got installed when first got my s23 ultra was terrible. Will just go with the phones beautiful screen and a full case to protect it from scratches

[@DrDre9998282]

I read the reviews on the samsung website that these screen protector leave 2 horizontal lines from the 1st step. Does that goes away?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! That's most likely happening when folks bend each side back, probably going all the way back, causing it to form the line. That's my hunch anyways. I didn't really notice on mine, but I have since uninstalled it due to a tiny speck of dust under it that was driving me nuts. I'll be putting the second one on tomorrow and will provide an udpate via pinned comment in a few more days. I'll look for those lines when installing this second one.

[@revolution108]

Can confirm those 2 lines do go away, but will take about a week or so. Just give it time.

[@kareemkamel1516]

I’ve installed it and I think that it is of high quality in comparison to other TPU protectors..It fits well with official Samsung cases and does not raise up from the sides..My question is does anybody know whether it is compatible with Spigen cases or does it rise up from the edges ?

[@thewinner8290]

Did you tried it with the spigen case?any problem?

[@Tathagata45]

Same protector like S22 ultra?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. I think so, but this one isn't quite as curved on the edges.

[@matthiasgiesche]

Hi i have Bubbles after Install in the middel. Do the Bubbles Go away after 2 oder 3 Days ?

[@RADERTECH]

My apologies for the slow reply. It's been 3 weeks since you asked this, hopefully most of them went away by now. Usually, I notice the ones that don't go away after 4 or 5 days will usually stay there, but most clear out before then.

[@CodyMatheson]

Probably too late to ask now, but did you notice any decline in the fingerprint scanner with this installed?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching, and very sorry for the slow reply. I ended up installing 2 of these, since the one here didn't turn out well. They never do when I have the camera rolling, lol. I did notice the fingerprint scanner didn't work well with the first install, but with the second that I took more time with off camera, it performed just fine. Can't say I noticed a difference between having the screen protector on or off.

[@CodyMatheson]

@RADERTECH No worries. I had been using the Whitestone Dome tempered since unboxing my phone and the fingerprint failed 90% of the time. It was miserable. I installed this after watching your video and it works every time without fail. So thank you. 😊

[@Ikies100]

does it work well with Spen?

[@RADERTECH]

It sure does, no impact to the s pen at all. Thanks for stopping by.

[@chrissummers770]

Fingerprint not working at all but everything else does. Can't unlock or add Fingerprint

[@RADERTECH]

I'd need a lot more info than that, feel free to shoot me a couple screenshots, email is on my About page here on YT.

[@tttNioh2]

hi, how to take the protector from the phone, because there are some bubbles, I want to replace with a new one ... Thanks

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by. I usually just slide my fingernail or thumbnail underneath it from one of the corners, then pull it off. It should come right off. Make sure to clean it thoroughly and do a final wipe down before putting a new one on, or you'll face the same issue again. One single spec of dust will ruin the install.

[@thomasdavis6897]

The handy rubberized pad is NOT provided which keeps the phone from slipping all over the table. Not good.

[@RADERTECH]

It does make it difficult, for sure. If you have a case that adds grip, I'd put that bad boy before installing it. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@esperanzanemec7003]

I just bought a glass screen protector for my S23 Ultra. I haven't put it on my phone yet. I want to protect the screen from scratches, but I don't really like screen protectors. I get frustrated when I see the bubbles 😊

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching. I totally get where you're coming from. I actually ended up taking this one off, I'm just using it without a screen protector now. So far, so good.

[@IamNinjaOfNinja]

don't be like me, I get a random scratch on my s23u screen and I m now looking for SP

[@Bmasta717]

This did not work on my S22U at all. The edges didn't stick from the second I installed it.

[@RADERTECH]

Hey Bryant, thanks for stopping by again. I've heard a lot of folks had issues with screen protectors on the S22 Ultra. I guess the curved edges really put a damper on it. I've already removed this screen protector from the S23 Ultra, I don't like it. It shows too many little scratches that would never scratch the actual screen, and there was a speck of dust trapped under it, I can't hang with that.

[@Howie_fish]

Does the screen feels "gummy/jelly" or it's harder feeling plastic 🤣 I hope you understood my question

[@RADERTECH]

Hi Howie, thanks for watching. Yeah, I gotcha. It's on the harder feeling side, it's not gummy feeling in any way. I've since removed the first one due to a speck of dust (I'm OCD about these screen protectors), but I'll probably try out the second one later this weekend. The one thing I noticed though is that it started showing microscratches super easily, so you might want to consider another option.

[@Howie_fish]

@@RADERTECH I'm OCD myself lol. I would always have screen protectors back up ready on deck...saw a few KZbinrs tried the whitestone dome for this year and they liked it. This gen that include a rubber weighed block for the fingerprint area. Last gen, for the s22, for whatever reason my on screen fingerprint was horrible with inaccuracy (I've reentered my thumb, and same twice twice with touch sensitivity increased) I was so annoyed I decided to rock the s22 bare 🤣

[@revolution108]

It's actually very smooth to the touch and feels almost like glass. So not gummy/sticky like some other types of TPu screen protectors.

[@paullewis6836]

This protector is very good if installed properly 👌

[@markkrejic8736]

This is usefull screen protector but its depends how ypu install it if you do perfectly there is no problem but if you mess up specially on edges there is a ugly look 👍🤷‍♂️

[@RADERTECH]

Yes indeed, very good point. It does require a very careful install. Thanks for watching.

[@letunglong8666]

I bought this for my S23+ and how much i tried they always endup with a little dust under the screen protector. So frustrating, so i peeled it off. 15$ for nothing.

[@RADERTECH]

They are a pain in the rear to get right. One thing that's helped me with dust is installing it while being close to the shower and having the shower water turned up hot so it lets off a lot of steam. That steam in the air seems to help keep dust particles down. Honestly though, these protectors aren't really needed. Just make sure to not put your car keys in the same pocket as the phone, that's the screen killer right there, lol. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Obedthian-UK]

It looks great

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for watching!

[@jello8467]

that screen protector is GARBAGE

[@RADERTECH]

You're going to find that they all suck for the S23 Ultra. Having curved edges makes for rough screen protector installs. I took mine off a couple days after installing it, and I won't be putting another one. The curved edges on the S23 Ultra aren't worth dealing with, too many headaches. Thanks for watching.

[@MagnetoDark]

@@RADERTECH im buy today s23ultra i search the perfect screen protect any update u know about the best solution for this screen ?

[@paullewis6836]

After watching your installation process I've realised I'm a qualified expert at doing these😅. That was painful to watch in some places with some real schoolboy errors 🫣. This screen protector is very good if installed correctly,you can barely tell its on other than the camera cut out. But thank you for the video 😊

[@RADERTECH]

I never do them good on camera, the angle I'm sitting at makes it an awkward experience. I always reinstall a new one after recording, they always turn out legit. Thanks for watching.
