The Best Way to Protect the Samsung Galaxy Note10+

[@markej4801]

Good video and well instructed, Brett. However, the screen protector comes very poorly reviewed in Amazon. What is your experience with the fingerprint reader? I use that function heavily, have done so since my Note Edge, with great success. However, the negative reviews on this screen protector in Amazon, almost without exception, note that the fingerprint reader becomes almost useless. Help?

[@TechWithBrett]

While the fingerprint works with the screen after using it for awhile it made it more frustrating to use and I eventually just stopped using the fingerprint scanner. I recently removed the screen protector and I have had no issue using without the screen protector. So far I have been ok without but I definitely live in more fear that something could damage my phone at any moment. If you are pretty protective of your phone you might be fine, even just the pre installed one might do that job.

[@markej4801]

@@TechWithBrett thanks for the quick and honest reply. I've owned Galaxy's for quite a while now with great success for everyday stuff. The screen protectors I've tried just slow everything down for me--the gorilla glass seems plenty strong for my needs. My biggest problem is when the device is in my pocket and I lean up hard against hard objects such as a seat belt clip, the screen has cracked. I don't think the "protector" is going to fix my problem there. I found that using a good TPU case and maintain a good practice of turning the screen toward my body seems to overcome my clumsiness there. ;)

I still own this phone in the 10+ version and I have to say, this phone is way too good looking to cover up with a case like the one you got. For me, it just makes no sense getting such a good-looking phone only to cover it up. The purpose of getting a phone like this is to show off the aura glow, and not just a small tiny section of it. I got a really nice see-through case, comprobable to yours, so it is of nice quality. The screen protector is great. I got the Armorsuit which comes with free lifetime replacement, but I have to admit that mine doesn't look as nice as the one you used.

[@lizpoison7205]

I will cover mine with a skin to avoid scratches. My s8+ got scratches even with a protector at all times. So... For this expensive bad boy I'll buy a skin for the back the white Dome and a very protective case. I'm going all out!

[@TechWithBrett]

That is the way to do it!

[@troubleshootingoops]

I'm using Techmatte amFilm and UAG Monarch for my Note 10+. Techmatte protector is cheaper than Whitestone but involves more patience and DIY. Techmatte service is also better than Whitestone. It's survived a drop from kitchen counter onto hard tile floor. Force was enough to pop the SPen out of the housing. I was more afraid I broke the SPen as the phone bounced off the floor and landed on top of it.

[@stephenlouden480]

With curved edges, note 10/ dome glass pairing is pointless and will soon lift at edges and corners.. Especially if you switch cases. If the Whitestone was 20-25$, fine,.. but its not.. it's way overpriced for what it is. Best bet is to use a quality tpu film and a slightly rugged case with a decent lip thats raised above the glass corners and edge. Good luck

I don’t know why, perhaps it’s unique to Australian buyers but I was pleasantly surprised to find my phone, Note 10+ came with one of those clear back protector cases in the box, I did kind of wonder if people were just rushing through the unboxing and not seen the included back protector because it’s clear and of how it was packaged? But I’ve not seen anyone on KZbin showing the included clear case as came with mine. I was unaware it would come with the phone so I have separately ordered though yet to turn up, the Samsung rugged case as you have btw I ordered the black Note 10+ in case that makes any difference ie included clear protector case, and also ordered a nice leather jacket case too. I have also considered buying the screen protector you used but the $76 AUD price put me off on top of the substantial money spent on the cases plus a nice desk stand for the phone, though it’s an upgrade I will probably get to later.

[@Scott13131]

Tech With Brett Thank you for your videos! I really appreciate and enjoy your videos! I normally am not specific with the case I get for my Notes. I generally just want something protective with a kickstand. This is the first that I’m looking for a clear case with a kickstand (since the glow is different than any Note I’ve have). I got 2 that were similar and gave the one that I didn’t like as much to my friend, but I’m not even certain if I like the one that I have on it right now. Do you have any other suggestions? The other question has nothing to do with cases or screen protectors. I have my fingerprints set up and they are working great. I toggled the “faster recognition” switch off because I wanted to see how fast it was when it was technically not as secured. To my surprise, it was really fast. I think it’s actually as fast as any of the fingerprint scanners I’ve had on my previous Notes. However, I decided to go back to just double check to see if turning that toggle on would be even faster. But it’s not there anymore. I’m assuming I turned something on, maybe a permission or another feature, and that made this disappear. I believe the same thing happened with my wife’s S10+ because I don’t see it there either. I know I toggled the touch sensitivity on and I thought maybe that was it, but I turned it off and nothing. Do you have any ideas? Since it’s new, I wanted to make sure that there isn’t an issue with the phone which I highly doubt. It’s the only thing I’ve noticed so again I think it’s something i turned on or off. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@TechWithBrett]

I will be testing out some more clear case options soon. Just checking I could only find the faster recognition for the Face Unlock portion. That way if people are trying to use a photo or something it shouldn't unlock.

[@Scott13131]

Tech With Brett I look forward to seeing those videos! Actually I know that option was there for the fingerprints, too. Even if you look at your own video a little after 14 minute mark, you’ll see that “Faster Recognition “ toggle. So I know it WAS there, but what did I do and even everyone else including you that made that toggle disappear. That’s weird that it would disappear. That’s why I’m guessing we turned something on that made it disappear, but what? Thanks for your help with this.
