Whitestone DOME UV GEN Film [Tempered glass-like] screen protector for Galaxy S23 Plus with UV lamp [2pack]

The media could not be loaded. So as you can see, I got a 100% perfect install on my first try with the first protector. It never seems hard until you open that UV resistant bag with one of those $13 films in it that you only have two of. Then the pressure kicks in and the anxiety. However, I installed this in under a minute with another 3 minutes of curing time, I have probably 8 years of experience installing specifically White Stone dome screen protectors, I've always had Samsung flagships so ever since I believe my S8 Plus, I have used nothing but Whitestone since Samsung was always extremely curved screen from that point forward. Now that the 24 Ultra basically a flat screen with 2.5 d curved glass, I decided to try the top few rated glass screen protectors again since nothing really can touch the feeling of glass especially good glass. Yes it was nice but I'll tell you right now it is not worth the struggle with the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. I don't care what glass you get by what brand, none of it matters. All that matters is the distance that the glass creates between the sensor and your finger, that's what creates the problem in the first place and you really have no idea how insanely bad it is until you either go bare screen, or start using these UV films. Even the Whitestone dome UV glass creates some false readings with fingerprint. It's just an inherent problem with glass screen protector since they need to be a certain thickness to provide any protection at all to the screen. This film is by far the best protection and quality you can get for your s24 Ultra without sacrificing even 1% of your fingerprint scanning ability. White stones film is truly the only UV film that will actually feel like glass, the rest of them are acceptable but either have a bit of sponginess or the second anything catches any corner or side of the protector, it's coming right off. That's not the case with the Whitestone UV film, there adhesive and just overall quality of the films they use are always a step ahead of everyone else. Even this film that generally doesn't have any oleophobic coating, has better oliophobic coating then the $30 sheet of one piece of glass I was just using that literally rendered my fingerprint scanner unusable 100% of the time.The biggest issue and why these are rated so low is because of the enormous difference in skill it takes to put this on versus slapping a plastic guide on your phone and throwing a piece of glass on it and the glass does the work itself. Whitestone could have included a better system to guide the film but technically there is nothing wrong with the method they provide. You need to take your time and you really need to keep a dust removal sticker on one of the tips of your offhand fingers this way at any point during the process of you actually using the card to apply the film to the phone and you see a piece of dust just stop right there but don't remove pressure from the film and kind of maneuver your offhand finger with the sticker grab the piece of dust then continue applying. I was able to do mine without a single speck of dust literally sitting in front of my pellet stove in my home built in 1865 that I guarantee has more dust then anybody that gave this less than five stars. A good trick I was taught but no longer you since these are now pretty easy for me, go into the bathroom and put your shower on as hot as it can go and let it steam your bathroom out for 10 minutes or so with the door shut then go in and turn your shower off and do your install in the bathroom with the steam. It will create a humid environment that equals a dust free environment. That used to be the only way I did these until I was used to them. The line everybody complains about is definitely there but not as big of a deal as it's made out to be. I had to spend five minutes getting the perfect lighting using my s23 ultra camera which we all know is an amazing camera to get that one picture of the line in the screen and you absolutely cannot even faintly see it with the screen on. After about 2 hours after your installation, the line will be pretty much gone if you've done everything correctly. DON'T OVER CURE THE PROTECTOR! Follow the instructions it's 60 seconds on the top, 60 in the middle and 60 at the bottom and that's it. If you over cure it, you will cure that line permanent to the screen protector and it will not heal itself and disappear over time. This was a long review but hopefully somebody gains some insight into how and why these will always be the best protector for any phone that utilizes and ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.Whitestone does need to do a better job with securing their package as my application card which is obviously essential to the process was so badly bent that it was literally in the shape of a U and completely useless.

Updated after exchangeWell two films come with this pack and they have some pros and a deal breaking con.There is a good how to video, do not do this if you are not used to installing them or anywhere near hair or dust. Fortunately I repair phones so these are second nature to me.ProsThe thin film that cures to a glass like feel that is unmatched by any film I am aware of.Clarity is impeccable.Works great with finger print, touch and S pen features.Install is easy with guides.No residue after removal.Did not interfere with case.Size was almost perfect.ConsExpensive for filmZero room for error or contaminants during install or you will destroy the film.One chance install, no peeling back or repositioning if you are off by even a little.A center line crease is visible and on two film installs failed to even slightly fade after 5 days of use on both filmsThe center crease distorts pixels and is very annoying and extremely noticeable during media playback, games or any text with white background. It's not to bad during text use in dark mode.This film can have 100 more pros and be triple the quality and fit perfect and cover every inch of the phone but that centerline is unbearable and defeats the purpose of spending money and a "high end" screen protector. So the 5 stars I would gi e these films is reduced to 1 star.I exchanged this to give them one more chance , one film showed up contaminated with debris, the other one still has a not even close to fading crease, if that doesn't bother you and you are very good at installs this product if not go for a glass film

Hi, I am thankful to be able to find this product for s24 ultra, as screen size is similar to Pixel_9xL, & One_Plus_13 (they all share ultrasonic fingerprint sensor).I had originally purchased for the Pixel, but finally got to apply to the OnePlus. There are videos on how to apply, and the OnePlus is the one option out of the three with slightly rounded edges for the screen. I applied carefully tucking the corners down, but covering the entire display. I'm using the Fiberborne case, so this worked out well with the protector going to the edges of the case.This worked out fairly well, and am thankful to find a solid option for these devices, since there is not the best selection for these devices, and especially quality option.It turned out very nice, and a superior option for clarity, fp sensitivity, as far as I can tell. Obviously, it's not gonna be as durable as glass, but nice nonetheless.I hope this could maybe help someone., and I think this is one of the better/best options as far as I can tell using my experience for reference in dealing with these & the original dome glass. It's definitely a little harder to apply, but worth it in the end.
