Whitestone for Galaxy S23 Ultra [Perfect full coverage] Tempered glass screen protector with UV lamp [2pack]

I imagine this is an excellent product (multiple reviewers seem to agree). I have always considered myself to be tech-savvy and excellent fine motor skills. I failed two attempts during my installation of these screen protectors. I watched the videos multiple times prior to assembling everything. I did everything instructed... carefully and without rushing. Both times I was left with large bubbles beneath the screen protector and a lot of excess adhesive which leaked around the edges (yes my work surface was level). A very expensive experiment to say the least, not to mention the large amount of packaging/materials which are now destined for the landfill. Quite a disappointment to say the least. Update (3-10-23): I have upgraded my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. Ok, so I tried a different screen protector after my failure(s) described above. I returned to the brand that I had used before with great success on my Note 10+ ('military grade' film, not glass--by Deltashield). That installation was easy enough and all was well, but within a few days the corners began to 'pucker.' I believe this is due to the fact that though the screen is still curved on the S23 Ultra, it is much less so than my Note 10+, so there is less glass beneath for the film to adhere to properly. Anyway, I decided to 'bite the bullet' and purchase the dome glass again (I know, ridiculously expensive... but considering the cost of the S23 Ultra I was willing to part with the $$ if it meant my screen would be protected from scratches (Victus 2 Gorilla Glass has greater shatter resistance but it is still quite susceptible to scratches). I re-watched several installation videos, and I was extra cautious during the installation (the entire process from start to finish took me about 40 minutes). It went perfectly (!)--the screen protector is virtually invisible and feels like there is nothing there--it is really that good. I have never had a screen protector on any device that was this good... never. Hopefully it will last for quite a while and afford protection from scratches (I will update this review if I encounter any problems). My fingerprint sensor works flawlessly (I still went ahead and re-registered all my fingerprints and turned on the 'touch sensitivity' for the display). My 'pearl' of wisdom now that I have been through the installation process multiple times: make sure the liquid adhesive has moved sufficiently to the middle of the screen and also make sure it does not spread too much before gently (emphasize "gently") dropping the screen onto the surface (I actually applied the tiniest bit of pressure at the bottom of the screen protector as I gently removed the pin up top to drop the screen to allow the adhesive to begin to adhere to the screen protector. I also did the installation this time in my bathroom, after running the shower for a bit to ensure that the environment was as dust free as possible.

Update after 6 months. The protector cracked on a camping trip after a hard fall from a double air mattress had it impact something hard and then I fell on it lol. But it protected my screen itself so that's a win. It did get a few scratches before that, but whatever this thing is made from it is almost self healing and hides scratches really well. I wish they made phone screens resistant to sand scratches so I wouldn't need these screen protectors. The screen protector never peeled or had any kind of bubble and the fingerprint scanner works well. My original review below. First time using a UV glue applied screen protector. It was way more expensive than other glass screen protectors I have used in the past, but it is an expensive phone with a curve display, so I went with a brand that has a good history making glass screen protectors for curved displays. Also, many of the glass protectors for this phone have a stupid hole in the middle for the fingerprint scanner which is unnecessary and ugly. This one doesn't have the huge punch hole, thankfully. The process of installation is very involved compared to others I have installed but the great thing about this is that you don't have to kill yourself trying to get bubbles out. If you follow the video (I looked at the one on Amazon and a longer one on YouTube), and follow the directions, there is little room for error. I used a level first to ensure my table surface was level and turned on an air purifier with an ionizer to get any dust in the air out. I have also heard you can do the installation in a bathroom with the hot water turned on which will also pull the dust out of the air. It is really important that no dust is on the phone when you put the glass on to get a nice and clean installation. Then I washed my hands with soap and water and followed the video. Other than applying the rubber block before the first cure as shown in the video, I also pressed the fingerprint area with my thumb for 30 seconds like I was unlocking my phone after the first 15 second cure while the phone was still in the cradle, which I saw in the YouTube video. Finally, I did an extra cure on the top and bottom of the phone to ensure the corners properly cured. The result is the best I have ever got a screen protector to look. There are no air bubbles, no dust, and the fingerprint scanner works perfectly after reregistering all my fingerprints. Also, make sure Touch Sensitivity in Display settings in enabled. If it was already enabled, turn it off and then on so your phone readjusts for your new screen protector. I've seen a lot of bad reviews here so I wanted to post my own to help others who are willing to put in the time to properly install this but are worried about the negative reviews.

Let me start off by saying this is undoubtedly the best screen protector for the S23 ultra.... IF you get a picture perfect install. Seriously, the install is way, WAY too finicky. When I first got this screen protector a year or so ago, I was blown away. First try and I had a perfect install. No bubbles, spider webbing, anything. Perfect install. Then, a few dozen inevitable drops later and it was time to replace it. Second one, same thing. Perfect install, lasted 6 months. Now, it's time to replace again. I cannot for the life of me get an install without bubbles. As soon as I "drop" the protector on with the glue, immediate air pockets and bubbles. And at this stage of the install, you're basically screwed. If you can't get them out by tilting to convince the glue to fill the pocket, you're out of luck. Pressing them out will only lead to more smaller bubbles, and will affect the protector sticking to the phone. I have no idea what happened between 6 months ago and now, but its way more tedious to install than previously. Yes, I thoroughly clean my phone, I'm installing it in the exact same room as before, i'm watching the same video I always have, yet I cannot get a clean install anymore. I will try one more time (3rd time sending them back and getting another) but after that I have no idea what else to do. If you can get a perfect install, these are amazing and last a long time. However, if the stars don't align for you perfectly, you will be very very frustrated.

I recently purchased the Dome Glass screen protector for my Samsung S23 Ultra, and while the result is good, the installation process was challenging. The instructions could have been more precise, and I had to watch a video tutorial to get it right. The installation jig in the kit scratched the sides of my phone, so I recommend using it with caution. Although the screen protector is now applied, a noticeable gap exists when swiping down from the top menu. However, the box came with two screen protectors, so it's possible to reapply the protector to fix any issues. After using the first screen protector for a day, I switched to the second one in the box. The issue I had with the gap between the top of my phone and the first screen protector was resolved with the second installment. I was relieved that removing the first screen protector was effortless. One positive aspect of the installation is the curing process, which ensures the protector stays in place and doesn't come off quickly. However, I wish extra tape was included in the kit to protect the phone during the installation process. While the fingerprint reader still works with the screen protector, extra pressure may be applied to get it to work correctly. I also noticed a scratch on the screen protector shortly after installation, which was disappointing. However, the scratch is not very noticeable and doesn't affect the overall function of the protector. Despite my challenges during installation, the screen protector looks great on my phone and fits perfectly with my Samsung SView case. It seems durable, and I'm confident it will provide long-lasting protection for my phone. Overall, I recommend the Dome Glass by WhiteStone for anyone needing a high-quality screen protector. However, be prepared for a somewhat challenging installation process and some minor inconveniences, such as extra pressure required for the fingerprint reader and possible scratches on the protector.

I spent hours researching, and seemed like no one could agree on a good tempered glass protector for the S23 Ultra's stupid curved screen. But, despite the lack of consensus in the reviews, I think I found the best option. Pros: 1.Tempered glass is very scratch resistant as long as you don't rub sand on it, and while it will crack with a drop, it will probably save your phone LCD glass and you can install the second one in this package anyway. 2. Personally found it easy to remove with a new razor blade, warm hair dryer, a careful touch, and some 91% isopropyl alcohol. The cured adhesive remains a bit gel-like and tends to stick to itself and roll off in patches. 3. Fingerprint reader, touch and S-pen responsiveness are all perfect. 4. Curved protector means nearly edge-to-edge protection, without case interference. Works for both my Snakehive wallet and Otterbox Defender. 5. Tempered glass is perfectly clear, no fingerprint circle, and is way better protection than any plastic film. 6. Whitestone stands behind their warranty and lets you buy a 1x replacement kit, although there's a $10 S&H fee. So if it breaks or you screw up installation, you get another shot. Have a friend take a photo of the botched/broken protector and keep the UV light! Cons/ProTips: 1. Installation is a little tricky. Watch their QR-code video and a couple of 3rd party demonstrations. 2. Make sure speaker and side stickers are tight. Don't want adhesive inside your phone! 3. IMPORTANT! Must be absolutely free of dust and residue. Dispel any static or avoid a bone dry room in winter. Use reflection from a lamp and the dust sticker they provide. Use an air bulb duster if you have one. Check again before adding glue. Don't install in a dirty room with a lot of people and air currents. 4. 2x IMPORTANT! Install glass concave side down to hug curved screen edges. There are little plastic dots on the bottom, this is okay and gives adhesive room to spread. Invisible afterwards. 5. Must install on level table so adhesive spreads correctly. If it doesn't work perfectly after dropping the protector at first, don't touch the screen, tilt the guide and give it more time to spread. Can gently reposition up/down before curing. 6. Do the 15s UV cure, remove phone from guide, and then clean up any leaked adhesive along the edges with lint-free cloth that's damp with isopropyl alcohol. Will help with common problems of "spider webs" and dust accumulation down the road. Then finish curing. Overall, 4.9/5 stars. Would buy again.

This is not a cheap glass screen protector. It's also not simple to apply. It does however offer the very best protection to your screen of any protector I've ever used since the dawn of smart phones. My first experience with Whitstone protectors was on my Samsung Note9 phone. I received the phone a day before it's launch, and put on several cheaper curved glass protectors from multiple vendors that all had an issue with popping off or lifting on the edges allowing dust/lint to gather shortly after application. I gave this protector a try, and after a major drop 2 years later that caused the corner to slightly chip, but still hold on, then a couple more years of "normal" accidental drops, it did develop 2 hairline cracks that were not visually noticeable but detectable if you ran a fingernail over them in the right direction. After 5 years I traded in the phone for the S23 Ultra, and the original screen looked immaculate after removing that original Whitestone protector that was on there almost it's entire life. With that experience, I had no issue purchasing the same protector for my new S23 Ultra. I do recommend watching the Whitestone tutorial as well as other videos of users installing the protector to get some tips before starting. I did get a very small bubble I was unable to squeeze out on the lower corner near the S-pen where the screen curves, but it isn't noticeable with the display lit. Wasn't worth using the spare in the 2-pack. This is my first phone with a fingerprint reader on the front of the display. I'm reasonably sure the protector is causing some interference since I commonly need to press a couple times to get the print to unlock the phone. There is a setting in the phone to make the sensor more reliable with protectors that I did turn on, and I also needed to re-scan my fingers after installing to get better performance. I found it works best with a firm press-and-hold touch. Over-all I think it's worth losing some sensitivity having a protector to protect from scratches and cracks. A scratch on the screen over fingerprint reader I would imagine would be worse. Overall, I highly recommend this screen protector. It works well with the "Encased Belt Case Rebel Series" for the S23 Ultra. It's not hard to apply, but you do need to follow more instructions than the typical glass screen protector. The kit comes with a nice jig to mount your phone and precisely position the glass over the screen. There are plenty of application videos available to watch before purchase to make sure you're capable. If you get the 2-pack, you have an additional shot if you blow it the first time.

I want to give this screen protector a 5/5 bc everything about the application and the looks was great. Anytime my husband or I get a new phone, watch, tablet, etc, I am always the one to apply the screen protector bc of my perfectionism and extreme attention to detail. So I've applied many screen protectors and many different kinds. This one was by far the easiest to apply so that it is perfectly centered. I watched the video on how to apply it and followed every step exactly as instructed. And the result was amazing. No bubbles or specs. No edges that didn't stay down. It was basically perfect. Aesthetically, it is great, but functionally, I'm a bit disappointed. I had to buy a new phone bc I accidentally dropped my last phone on a metal bar (and didn't have a screen protector) and the screen cracked and no longer worked properly. So I wanted to make sure to be super protective of my new phone as it was very expensive. I didn't even use my new phone until my protective case and my screen protector arrived. I have kept it in a protective case constantly and have been extremely careful with where I place it, how I transport it, etc. Well, this morning I noticed that there is a hairline crackall the way across the screen protector from the left side to the right side. I have no clue how this happened bc I have not dropped it, banged it, put it in a bag with other items, or even let anybody else hold it. There is no way that should have happened, especially for the price of this screen protector. It did come with 2, so I will remove this one and replace it with the 2nd one, but now I am very nervous about that one somehow cracking as well. I don't necessarily expect a screen protector to never crack, as that is the purpose-- for the precept to crack rather than the screen itself. But I definitely didn't expect it to crack after only 2 weeks and without any drops or bumps.

UPDATE 2/11/25 After 2 years, I finally broke the first Whitestone Dome glass protector on my Galaxy S23 Ultra. Dropped it in a restaurant tonight and it just chipped the edge. 2 years of drops, bangs, bumps and it was the curved portion that finally gave way. I would say hands down, this has been the BEST screen protector I have used on any device. It went on the 2nd time just as easy as the 1st time, following their YT video exactly. No dust, no bubbles, just a clean install both times. I will be using these on all my devices going forward. Sure, they are a bit more costly, but a LOT cheaper than a screen or even deductible. After buying my S23 Ultra a couple of months ago, I have tried 4 different screen protectors, all of which failed, some miserably while others were just mediocre. 2 were glass and 2 were tpu films. The glass ones just were not up to snuff for fit or adhesion, at all. So, I finally decided to go with a glue on type protector and I'd used the Dome on my wife's old phone, so I was familiar. It came with everything you need to get the job done 2 times over. I followed the instructions, which clearly were updated if older reviews were correct about the pads not being mentioned in the older versions. I cleaned the screen, applied the tape around the sides, snapped it into the base, installed the felt blocks around the edges, used the sticker to pickup dust that landed and got to work. One review I saw mentioned using half the glue, I'd say that's not great advice as whatever amount came in the tube was just enough. I didn't have spillage, drips or runs. One thing I did that isn't mentioned is that I tilted the phone around once the glue and screen were as one, but before using the light. You'll see clearly when the glue covers and it helps to rotate it around to ensure it covers perfectly. I used the rubber weight at the very bottom and fired up the light. Did the multi cure steps and the results were perfect. No dust, no bubbles, no buttons glued just a perfect installation. You should and DO have to re-register your fingerprints, but mine work without any issues at all. I only have one gripe really, which should be a recommendation to White Some and that's to coat the glass panels with a better hydrophobic/oleophobic coating. The surface isn't slick to the touch like the oem screen or after you've applied a liquid protective coating like liquip3l. That's nothing to pull any stars from, just a suggestion. As you can see, it has no fitment issues in my case, which is tough armor case purchased here on Amazon. I'd highly recommend this as a viable and solid option for an S23 Ultra screen protector.

Excelente protector, lo coloqué en 5 min, solo vi los videos y listo, este paquete trae 2 micas y cantidad de accesorios suficientes, incluso si te equivocas trae 3 ampolletas de pegamento. Excelente relación Calidad-Precio.

Vraiment ravie de cet achat, c'est exactement ce que je cherchais. Je voulais une protection sur laquelle on ne voit pas le "rond" d'emplacement de lecture d'empreinte que je trouve franchement peu esthétique. Ici il n'y a aucune marque, la lecture d'empreinte fonctionne hyper bien et l'écran reste très agréable au toucher, au point d'oublier qu'il y a une protection. Pour la pose, c'est assez simple pour peu que l'on suive bien toutes les indications. J'ai regardé la vidéo d'installation plusieurs fois pour bien repérer les enchaînements, sens de pose, etc. J'avais un peu peur de la cata, c'est la première fois que je pose ce type de protection, mais tout s'est bien passé du premier coup, pas de bulles pas de dégoulinements... après avoir longuement nettoyé l'écran avant la pose. Mon seul bémol serait sur les nombreux déchets de plastique, je suis d'accord avec les autres commentaires disant qu'il pourrait y en avoir moins, un vrai point d'amélioration à mon avis. Pour ce qui est du prix, il est en effet un peu élevé, mais la qualité a l'air d'être là. Après, je n'ai pas encore testé en cas de chute mais la protection a l'air d'être solidement posée.

I've used the whitestone dome glass for different samsung galaxy models since the note 10 and find it the best screen protector for slightly curved screens like on the sides of the s23u. The glass is very smooth feels almost the same as not using a screen protector, haven't had any issues with the fingerprint reader, and the liquid adhesive will fill in light scratches (if you have any) making them less visible. They've made it easier to install compared to back in the day, however you'll still need to take your time and perhaps watch a few videos if it's your first install. It's a little pricy but it's good quality compared to the knock offs. I've tried some of the knock off ones and they'll tend to start bubbling on the sides over time. If i had gotten the s23/s23+ or any other phone with a flat screen i would just opt for a cheaper tempered glass screen protector.

Leyendo algunos comentarios parece que es imposible instalarlo correctamente, supongo que un mal día lo tiene cualquiera y que hay gente muy torpe, porque me ha resultado muy facil siguiendo las instrucciones del video explicativo. Lo primordial es que la superficie de trabajo esté nivelada y el móvil limpio. Lo más importante es que la sensibilidad de la huella digital, de la pantalla en general, así como la nitidez son perfectas. El anterior protector de pantalla que tuve era malisímo en estas tres cuestiones, solo costó la mitad que éste de Dome, pero fue tirar el dinero completamente.

Ich habe lange hin und herüberlegt und dann doch in den sauren Apfel gebissen und die Scheiben bestellt. Folgenden Anspruch habe ich an einen Displayschutz: - Sauberes Fitting mit dem Case (Spigen S23 Ultra Tough Armor) - Eine "Glasscheibenhaptik" (Vorhergehende Schutzfolie beim Note 10 fühlte sich einfach nur nach Kunststoff an) - Der Fingerprint muss einwandfrei funktionieren - Die Scheibe sollte so sitzen, dass man diese nicht direkt als Schutzscheibe erkennt - Die Scheibe sollte auch das Konzept "Displayschutz" vertrauenswürdig umsetzen Nach dem Anbringen kann ich sagen: Das Ergebnis ist echt spitze und die Passform mit meiner "Spigen S23 Ultra Tough Armor" Hülle ist einfach gnadenlos perfekt. Das hätte ich so nicht erwartet. (Auf den Bildern sieht man teilweise noch etwas Staub, einfach ignorieren) Für den Verarbeitungsablauf muss ich allerdings sagen, der ist nicht für schwache Nerven. Wer sein 1500€ Smartphone nicht mit UV Klebstoff vollsudeln möchte muss wirklich nach Sinn und Verstand wirklich genau die Herstellerangaben beachten. Macht man hier was falsch ist das mega ärgerlich. Wer also einfach nur einen halbwegs guten Displayschutz haben möchte und zwei linke Hände hat, der ist gut mit dem originalen von Samsung selbst bedient. Wer es sich dennoch zutraut und auch hinbekommt, der hat einen spitzen Schutz zu perfekter passform. Zum Ablauf kann ich folgendes sagen: 1. Der Tisch sollte absolut eben sein (So stehen, dass das UV Kunstharz nicht irgendwo hinläuft wo es nicht hingehört) 2. Der Tisch sollte gut ausgeleuchtet sein, dass man die kleinsten Blasen noch erkennen kann und handeln kann, bevor diese mit "eingebacken" werden 3. Alles so abkleben, reinigen und vorbereiten wie es der Hersteller im Video zeigt 4. Nach dem Auflegen der Scheibe Geduld haben und Blasen ggf. noch ausstreichen und zwar in die Richtung, wo auch die weisen Schaumstoffstreifen liegen!!! Diese nehmen nämlich den überschüssigen Harz auf! Und das ohne zuviel Druck auszuüben!!!!! 5. Die Scheibe lässt sich noch innerhalb von einem Bereich von 0,5mm ca hin und hergleiten. Passt alles und sind keine Blasen da, dann den "Radiergummi" auflegen. Der sorgt einfach dafür, dass die Scheibe noch mit etwas mehr Gewicht nach unten gedrückt wird. Man sollte aber nicht noch fester überall mit der Hand draufdrücken, da sonst der Harz rausläuft und alles versaut, bzw. dann dieser unter der Scheibe fehlt und keinen ausreichenden Schutz mehr aufbauen kann und die Scheibe nicht ordentlich verklebt. 6. Passt alles, dann die UV Lampe (Vorsichtig sein, dass man das Smartphone nicht berührt und die Scheibe verrutscht) 1x im unteren Bereich für 15 Sek. anschalten, sowie 1x im mittleren Bereich und 1x im oberen Bereich. NICHT ÖFFTER !!!! Warum? 7. Weil man nun das Smartphone vorsichtig aus der Halterung herausnimmt und das Harz, das an den Seiten rausgekommen ist wegwischt. Hat man die UV Lampe öfter, oder zu lange benutzt, dann wird das Harz noch härter und es lässt sich mit den Alkoholpads nicht mehr so sauber wegwischen. Die UV Lampe hat das Harz leicht fest werden lassen, dass die Scheibe jetzt nicht mehr verrutscht. NACHDEM das ganze Harz weggewischt ist, die Aufkleber der ganzen Anschlüsse entfernen und nochmals mit einem neuen Alkohol-Tuch den Rest komplett so sauber machen, dass kein Harz mehr da ist, wo es nicht hingehört. 8. Die UV Lampe im Vollgasbetrieb mehrmals mit 1Min über dem Handy hin und herwandern lassen. So wird jetzt das Harz richtig fest. 9. Das Handy am Besten nochmal ein ausgiebiges Sonnenbad gönnen, dass sich das Harz schön festigen kann. Die kleine Lampe hat zwar ihren Zweck weitestgehend bei mir erfüllt, allerdings war das Harz auch nach 10 fachem Bestrahlen nicht ganz soo fest. Als ich das Smartphone 2 Mal in meine Spigen Hülle gesteckt und wieder rausgeholt habe (Simkarte einsetzen usw.), hatten sich ganz am Rand ganz kleine Blasen gebildet. Diese hätten zwar nicht wirklich gestört und wären auch kaum aufgefallen, aber mich hat es gestört. Also hatte ich den Fön angeworfen und mit 50°C ca. die Scheibe erwährmt und die Blasen mit dem Fingernagel erneut ausgestrichen. Danach das Smartphone nochmal komplett sauber gemacht und für 30 Min unter eine 10W UV LED gelegt. Damit war die Sache dann erledigt. Unterm Strich kann ich die Scheibe bis jetzt wirklich empfehlen (Wird sich dann noch zeigen wie gut sie ihren Dienst verrichtet). Allerdings würde ich dafür, wie schwer man die Scheibe draufbekommt nur 2 Sterne geben. Da kann aber der Hersteller wirklich nichts dazu, das liegt einfach bedingt an der Sache selbst. Whitestone hat das aber schon recht gut ausgeklügelt muss ich sagen. Ich hoffe ich konnte dem einen oder anderen mit der Rezession weiterhelfen.
