I know there is already a screenprotector on inside big display. Im wondering if we can apply another one on top it. Case last year oleophobic coating on my fold 3 weared of after 3 to 4 months it was so rash or hard to touch and not smooth anymore. So this time thinkinf of applying another layer on stock one so that i can chamge it every 4 or 5 months to keep it smooth and clean
So is it possible? Does anyone have good screen protector suggestions? I purchased the below and for inside screen

If you did apply another screen protector(sp) on top of the current one, it would just come off with current sp. Basically what I'm saying is if and when it wears down; either buy another sp or send it to samsung for a replacement. Have had several sp with my fold 3 2 being actual glass and 2 film. Which whitestone kept making the glass one because that felt way better than the film but both eventually broke

If it's brand new there is one on the big screen ... use your nails to feel it, it start where the pixels start
so the Fold3 came with SP on outside and inside screen, so there isn't one on the outer of the Fold4?
update: just looked at mine closer, doesn't have one on the cover display..........will have to buy one

Get the spigen one. Its good and comparable with spigen cases
For those asking saying there isn't a screen protector on the large screen, that's incorrect. In Comparison to the Fold 3, on the Fold 4 the screen protector stretches under the board of the display make sure it doesn't peel off at the corners like a common problem with the Fold 3.
I don't believe this is correct. I have my Fold 4 and I can see the edges of the SP the whole way around the inside screen

You can add a screen protector on the inside cause it is getting scratched easily, so an extra layer of the protector is not an issue cause I use Gadgetshieldz protector on mine and I have no issues with touch sensitivity, also this protector can self-heal the scratches that occur on it!

No, I had this screen protector on my Fold 3 and was using it for more than 7 months then I peeled off the protector for exchange and the one applied by Samsung didn't come off!
The cut-out is good so no problem at the crease also there was no line shown in the middle of the display where it folds. I applied it and left it for 2-4 hours as instructed in the package and then it stuck well to the screen!

I took off the Spigen one. I found it a bit too small and all the dust stuck on the edges of it got to me. Using some cheaper off brand one that covers the screen more fully and loving it much more. Also black edge at the end of screen protector is nice too no more staring at dust at the edges of the screen protector like I had to see on the spigen one.

Hi guys so the screen protector hunt starts again ive been looking on amazon uk and some of them seem to be a full adhesive fit does anyone know if the xz2 has flat glass near the main display or is it 2.5D like most models
hear is one ive been looking at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-...6&sr=8-7&keywords=xperia+xz2+screen+protector
On the same hunt, the glass is definitely 2.5D. I wouldn't expect any full adhesive glass protectors to work without massive halo's.

1 hour ago i've seen the brotect airglass, how are this screen protector?
Edit: finally today it's arrived brotect airglass, first time i've buyed and it's arrived a back screen protector for s9+ in xz2 package (???), contact the support and they send me a new for free and it's arrived today...no halo, great brightness and very good oleophobic treatment
i think they all seems to be lying on us... they advertise it as a 3D or full cover edge to edge but when you get your hands on it you realize it only protects the LCD, like flat protector...
well, i like this by IMAK... it's a 3D and full edge to edge film rather than tempered glass... what i don't like about it is not glossy, but rather anti-glare which i hate.

It prevents glass breaking by 30%.
Or was it 70%?
But it definitely strengths the glass structure.

Has anyone been able to purchase the stock original screen protector that came with the phone? I swear I saw it briefly on Samsung Canada site under accessories page but it's no where to be found now.
Stock protector feels so smooth once you applied a oleophobic coating on it! Not to mention perfect fitment for the phone.

Does UK, US or other country Samsung sells the stock protector?

I believe they're 18.99 for Samsung UK (ET-FG975CTEGWW). Samsung US has a supply of them, but they are not accessible via sales.
It is 19.99 here in the States.
I was able to purchase one but not going to get it shipped till 4/5.

Got myself a Gadgetshieldz screen guard for the S10+ when I ordered my skin from them. It’s a self healing one and no scratches till now and most importantly it works fine with the fingerprint scanner. This one looks much better than the actual Pre-installed Samsung screen guard. The screen and guard cost me only around 10$ including shipping.

To each his own I guess, I hate self healing skins as they have a orange peel finish and it drags/not smooth. The Samsung original one is PET material, not as smooth as glass but much better than self healing protector.

Otao Screen Protector for S10 Plus
I always liked the GLASS Otao Screen Protectors so I thought I would try the plastic one when it came out on Amazon. To Be honest, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Easy to install (Dry install and not wet) and there were no bubbles or any issue after I installed. I have been using it with a Case (Ringe Crystal Fusion) for about a week and I am very happy with it. Fingerprints work fine with it.

I have the same issue without a case as well. If you look closely you'll see that there is still a thin strip of adhesive keeping it dust tight but still lifting around the edges.
Are there any dry application screen protectors that cover the entire screen like Samsung protector? Those case friendly protectors look weird since they leave margins on the display

Same here, i have been using them since Galaxy S8+, never had any issues, once fitted it stayed good until damaged or removed. Now for S10+ i've had 3 replacements under warranty as it is lifting up or peeling of as they call it, and it is not even close to the edge, i have another replacement waiting to be fitted so i will try to put more glue maybe? as it looks like there is just about in the tube, I am so tempted to remove it and have just natural screen without any protectors but it is an expensive phone
All sold out here
I think I've only seen one of them on Amazon so far (this one). It looks like it might be fine - but I'm not sure $36 is where I want to be. I'm hoping we'll see some more options pop up soon.
Anyone seen anything else yet?
I'm really thinking I want something on there considering that the Flex Mode will basically be resting on the screen side whenever you use it (or you'd get a wobble on the cameras).

If it has a factory installed protector on it, leave it on until it wears out. They provide better protection than you might first think.
Ha-ha I "tested" the one on my 10+ the 2and day I had it and faceplanted it on a rough piece of 1/16th inch aluminum angled upwards.
Marred the protector but no damage to the screen... it hit on the curved glass area, hard.
Sand will scratch these screens.
I would lean towards a wet apply urethane screen protector as they are durable, remain clear, fairly easy to apply, bubble free, self healing and are inexpensive.
Been having a good run with Gorilla IQ Sheild on my 10+. Bought 4 three months ago and still on the first one. Shows some wear on the keypad area but no scratches and I'm not babying it. Similar in feel to the factory installed protector.

Do you know if this is necessary on the fold 2? The only reason I buy whitestone tempered glass for my samsung phones is because the screen is curved and whitestone makes the best glass for curved screens. If the z Fold 2 doesn't have a curved front screen, then I think most tempered glass screen protectors should work.
So I guess my main question is, does the z fold 2 have a curve to the front screen?

The screen protector is for the outer screen, you dont need a protector for inside screen. Whitestone is a good company, sadly the code did not work for me. Did anyone get lucky yet?

Sorry just saw your question. Yes the z Fold 2 has one side of the front screen slightly curved. The side that opens to be specific.

Because of the edges of the glass. I can feel the edges when playing games
Just received the Whitestone screen protector and installed it. It lined up perfectly with the hole punch camera, but doesn't quite cover the entire front glass. Had no adhesive dribble out on to my phone. But, did have to move the holder around to get the adhesive to fully disperse. I'm now just hoping that the first case I put on (when one of the five I ordered arrives), doesn't break the screen protector.

There were replacement screen protectors for the main screen of the Z Fold2. I noticed Whitestone and other companies are advertising screen protectors for the Fold3. I assume these would be applied on the main screen directly as the Fold3 does not have a Samsung installed protector?
Also any recommendations for the front screen?
I believe the internal has a preinstalled screen protector. Same as the fold 2.
I was unable to get information if the exterior one has a screen protector or not.
I would think so since it seems normal for samsung now.

MrMobiles review advised they have used a new type of screen protector this year that ends underneath the bezels of the screen, so its more 'built in' than ever. It's also not made from TPU, so you wont get those nasty finger smudge marks as much.

Maybe they were tired of repair screens of people who ripped the protector off and somehow damaged the screen, lol. I changed screen protectors on my z Fold 2 weekly trying to find the right one and the screen was always perfect.
Also the PET screen protectors definitely don't smudge as much and they're easier to wipe off. I hope they're scratch resistant if they're making it harder to remove. I'm ocd about hairline scratches in my screen protectors. Drives me insane.
Hi, I have removed the screen protector on my fold2 and I'm using it for months without any protectors - I could not stand the plastic feelings - the glass touch is perfect on the fold2 and it does not scratch that much. I'm curious - as the fold 3 has now non removable PET layer - how it would be compared to the fold2 without any protectod vs the fold 3 ?
Watching some videos from Korea, and it seems Whitestone Dome has a UTG screen protector for the inner folding screen.
Sorry, video is in Korean, but no doubt you can work it out from watching.

I think that thing is like $80.
My whitestone silk is arriving tomorrow, still waiting on my phone to ship out next week
I hope that this PET protector wil be still possible to remove to have nice glass experience.
On my fold 3 I can feel a edge from screen protector so it seems to be removable, it isn't embedded under the plastic frame.
You already have fold 3? Can you please tell me how is the feeling / touch on the built in PET protector? Is it glass like touch/look?

Yes that is correct I got mine on 18th August after ordering it on 11th August. I can say surface is smooth and feels good. Hardly any visible finger prints when device is on. Like it is with those plastic ones that makes it visible.
Have at least 5-6 of them.
Have a tempered glass UV cover on the way which eliminates them.
Did you peel off the screen protector that came on the outer screen? I won't be taking mine off unless it begins to fall off on its own.

Wow didn't know there was one on the front screen. I took off the protective film that covers the whole phone didn't notice the screen protector on the front tho
The front glass is same as any other Samsung phone. You probably scratched the screen protector.

Lol.
It really is a good quality protector in combination with a good bumper case.
My S20u had minimal scratches in 8/9 months use, S21u had zero scratches in 6 months use and my Fold 3 is the same so I am good with it.
It also doesn't peel it self off overtime is my experience.
Huawei Mate 20 pro that I had was not as good that Samsung had and Xiami/Poco is horrible piece of junk and worth trowing in the trash

It's very difficult to see or feel, but it's there. Samsung had been factory installing screen protectors on a few models like the Note 10, but then for the Note 20 Ultra, they didn't. At least not in the US. I think the international models still had screen protectors. I can't remember if the Z Fold 2 had one on the outer screen.
Its just a protector tho.
Happen with my note 10+
You can easily swap it out for another or a glass one.
Ill keep mine on until this one looks like crap.
There is zero need for the outside or inside protector unless you use the s pen a ton. Insanity to keep them on. The experience is so much better without them and I had zero problems with the fold 2 taking them off.
No I didn't peel that one off.
Lot of very small scratches.
I know it's on the protector not the screen

I've taken the screen protector off the inside screen of the ZF2 several times when replacing it. Matter of fact, just did it today. I can feel absolutely no difference between the bare screen on the ZF2 and the screen protector on the ZF3. They're both plastic no matter what Samsung calls it. So me PERSONALLY I won't risk scratching or damaging the display when I can't tell the difference in feel anyway. Plus I love the SPen, so I'll use it a lot.

the fingerprints and the screen not being as bright are immediately noticeable to me coming from no screen protector to a screen protector on the fold 3. night and day, as is the non glass feel. i've never used the fold with a screen protector as I bought my fold 2 used with it already removed, had that not been the case perhaps I would have been able to live with it.
with that being said - you don't have to baby this phone with kid gloves. hell, you are probably going to trade it in next year and get the fold 4. so if you don't use the S pen don't be afraid by those warning to take the protector off. that's my main point.

I always baby my devices. Even though yes I will likely be trading it in, I prefer to keep my phone in pristine condition. Again, having compared SP and no SP they both feel the same to me. Plus I WILL be using the SPen.

I still have the international Note 20 Ultra and yes, they come with screen protector from Samsung installed from the factory. The Fold 2 came with outer screen protector. The inner screen one was piece of crap, it scratched so bad pretty much first week. Then after 8 months my foldable screen cracked in the middle by itself. Samsung replaced it under warranty and it came with totally different screen protector, which I am using until today and I don't have any scratch on it at all !! The screen does not feel like rubber at all. I am very happy with the second screen protector that Samsung installed on new screen. BTW, I counted roughly how many times I unfolded the phone before the middle part cracked and I came to number 1 125 folds and unfolds. And that is probably little bit on the high side because I owned the phone for 225 days when it happened and I figured 5 openings per day. But I use mostly the outside cover screen, the inside screen I used only for multimedia. I have no problem using the cover screen for 95% of things I do on the phone.

Just leave it on as long as it's usable. Finding a better replacement may be difficult.
It's actually very tough... I inadvertently tested my 10+'s on the second day by dropping it on a rough edged aluminum angle from 2 feet high. It landed on the curve part of the screen and the case. Marred the protector badly but not the display at all *gulp*.
On the 10+ this is the one Samsung failing that irritated me the most, no factory OEM screen protector replacements. Even there were it be impossible to install.
Whitestone send the wrong protector in the right box... malakas.
Wet apply screen protectors were the easiest to apply and have proved very durable. Gorilla IQ Sheild is what I settled with after 2 fails with self adhering ones.
Close to 2 years and zero damage.
So there's a screen protector on inside??? And it's removable???

Is there any difference? Not that I mind the inner screen, but it does feel plasticky.

its like night and day when you take it off IMO. like scrolling with glass compared to plastic and the screen protector gets tons of fingerprints. i honestly have no idea how anyone uses this phone with an inner screen protector. unless you are going to be a heavy S pen user I see no reason not to take it off.

Well i usually feel that way with a real glass screen. I do worry about the plastic screen on the inner screen getting scratched. Im torn whether or not I should take it off.
