DOME GLASSWhitestone GEN Film Screen Protector for Galaxy Z Fold 4 (2022) HD Clear Hard Coated PET Film Screen Guard

I am both impatient and a perfectionist. Two things that don't go together, especially when applying something like a phone screen. I always dread it. I picked this product specifically because of the application technique. This is hard to explain in writing, but I assure you it is clever and works very well.I was utterly dismayed when Samsung informed me that the only solution was to purchase a new phone, and to add insult to injury, they offered a trade-in that was far from 'great'. It's almost comical that they didn't even consider the option of an aftermarket screen protector.The problem is the Samsung Fold devices come with a factory installed screen protector installed on the inside. After some time, this might start to come loose near the hinge, and eventually, it spreads down the entire fold, becoming pretty frustrating to use.I had previously seen destroyed screens by people who removed their inner screen protectors, so I thought the phone was junk.BUT!I decided to give this a try after looking at many options on Amazon. As I said, I chose this because of the application technique. I am just not good at getting things lined up.Now, I have a perfectly applied inner screen protector, bubble-free, dust-free, and perfectly aligned to suit my OCD.

Don’t waste your time or money. I knew I should have stayed away from Whitestone from previous experiences I had on other galaxy devices and their tempered glass curved system. That system was great but their product was frail and not built to last. Spent way too much money on screen protectors with this BS company. This time the system is horrible. The product is good but this time the system they use to install is horrible. There has to be a better system to install for the fold than this. Easy for dust to be present and once you get to the crease it is a wrap bubbles everywhere, and if you press too hard on your screen you will damage it. The inside screen on the Fold 4 is still very fragile especially without a screen protector. My recommendation is too have Samsung install your protector if your original one is ready to be replaced. I want perfection for a device this expensive and this isn’t it. Tough lesson learned, take my advice. God Bless!

Extremely easy installation compared to the other screen protector I tried before this one. I'd still recommend buying two because something will always go wrong with the first one (for me it was a piece of dust), and if you're lucky you'll just have an extra for later when it gets scratched or something.As for the screen protector itself, it feels better than the OEM in every way. It feels harder and more like glass, and so far has been more resistant to dents. Also this one actually covers the screen better than the OEM protector. The protector that came pre-installed on my phone didn't fit quite right, and caused a line of rainbow pixels across the bottom of the screen. But this screen protector completely covers the screen. That's probably the thing I'm most impressed with, I wasn't expecting a 3rd party screen protector to actually fit better than the Samsung one.Don't remove your Samsung screen protector unless you have to, but if you do, replace it with this one. I'll update if/when it fails, ie crack down the middle or peeling.EDIT: 4 months later, got some scratches on it but in general I can still say this is better than the pre-installed screen protector. Still no dents from fingernails and S-pen like the pre-installed one got. No peeling or anything, the only damage has been my own fault. Definitely worth the money.

I applied these screen protectors to my renewed Fold 4 that came without one upon receiving them. The application process looks intimidating, but really wasn't bad. The small instruction sheet only includes instructions for the inner screen protector, but there's a QR code for a video demonstration. I DEFINITELY advise moving VERY slowly as you push the paddle across the screen, adhering as you go. Once initially down, take the screen protector backer off the raised pins very carefully and then run the paddle over the screen a few more times, making sure to put a little extra pressure at the edges and don't worry if it looks like it's peeling back up at the edges, because it's probably just the backer (unless it's in the middle of the crease... then you screwed it up and you might as well remove it and buy another). Peel away the backer and the screen protector will be applied. It's super thin and actually difficult to see, but it's there.As for the front screen protector, there are no included instructions, but the video should explain it. The problem I had is that the backer is split in two to allow you to remove one side at a time and keep it aligned. This split leaves a clear line across the applied screen protector that doesn't appear to go away even after removing the top sheet from the protector (yes, there is a top sheet to carefully remove after the application which isn't really obvious).I have not applied the spine protection yet, but I will, even though I'm skeptical that it will remain in good condition for any length of time, being a mor exposed and small surface area to adhere to.I will update my review if I find that the quality is lacking in the near future. I tend to be very careful and gentle with my phones, so if it can't survive me, it won't survive someone who may actually NEED a screen protector.
