S23 Ultra UV Tempered glass

I always get a bit nervous when the words "screen protector" comes into the conversation, ever since I messed up a screen protector I tried to put on my ipad and almost ended up wearing the screen protector as gloves. My father was laughing so hard he almost fell off his chair - yes, PTSD is real people. I wouldn;t have had to be nervous about this installation though. It was amazingly easy. This protector system is similar to the spigen one I used before, although I can't remember whether there was a price difference. I managed to get this on in about 15 minutes, most of which was waiting for the adhesive to cover the entire space between the protector and the phone screen. Once it was on there were no bubbles or distortions and the finger print sensor works perfectly. The protector is also cut in a way that lets you use just about any case you have. I'm using the s-view flip case from Samsung and another one from Coolwee called "Clear with lace." I like this one when I have to put the phone in the car phone holder. But I digress. This protector set also has two black camera lens protectors (well, since there are two sets of screen protectors in this pack). I cannot really comment on these since the phone would not fit into my cases if I had put it on. But both look solid and seem to be simple stick-on over the camera protectors. No chance of bubbles here, only of wonky sticking on - which I also have a doctorate in.

I had first purchased these about six months ago. As other reviews have stated instalation can be a little bit tricky. But they went on okay and looked & worked great.I had recently reordered these as one of the corners came up and was no longer sticking. The new ones looked good until I actually tried to install them. The new glass screen protector has small little nubs on the back of the actual glass. These are all over the edges and in the middle. These little nubs prevent the screen protector from actually making contact with the phone. These little nubs caused bubbles in the adhesive. The bubbles are directly in the middle of the phone and very distracting. The only bubbles are directly under these little nubs.The small nubs are actually part of the glass and not shown in any of the pictures or mentioned in the product description.I'm not sure when they changed the product, but a significant change of this type should be mentioned. If I were you, I would save my money and buy a different brand. I will not be buying the AM brand again and neither should you.

Below is what is lacking, but - I will say that I WOULD buy this again despite all that. Its one of the best screen protectors.... Just several things lacking for installation (big things)---1. Did not come with a microfiber cloth - made installation very hard2. The tray (with installed levels) is not level. (Had to place stuff under it to level... As seen in pics)3. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIQUID ADHESIVE TO ADEQUATELY SPREAD ACROSS THE SCREEN. (Sort of - see below)4. Bubbles after installation. (See below)First attempt didn't even come close for the adhesive to reach the edge of the screen (maybe still a couple drops in tho). 2nd attempt I made sure to get every last drop out of the liquid adhesive cartridge - this was better BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH - sort of. The 2nd attempt, after like 2 minutes the adhesive managed to crawl to cover the entire screen - but the edges were SLOW to cover - and when it was going slow, it left micro bubbles (that I see after installation). Also that second attempt left 3 non-micro bubbles too...You can see all of this in the above pictures.Overall, the second attempt was OKAY - like it works. Hopefully it will last?? But this is lacking for a more expensive screen protector.

IMPORTANT: Inside the kit are two 'foil' wrapped wet cleaning clothes. Not the alcohol ones found in the little packet, but the packets with "Step 1" and "Step 2" labelled on them. DO NOT apply this wipe to your screen before applying the protector! I'm unsure what this wipe is, I'm guessing it's an oleophobic coating that goes on AFTER, but if you start wiping your display first with this wipe, you will end up with streaks all over the device. After I wiped my bare screen with it, I caught it just before I poured the adhesive. Make sure you are using the wipe containing alcohol, not the wipe with the two-step instructions.------Every time I buy a phone, I always buy 3-5 different types of screen protectors. This time, however, I only bought this one. I last used an Amfilm UV screen protector with my S21 Plus. There have been some changes that are very important to know before doing anything with this!The application was super straightforward. Take your device, apply the levelling foam pads, and open the cleaning materials and stickers packet. Use 2-3 of the smaller dust stickers to cover your ports! The S-Pen port (Or your pen can get glued in), the volume rocker, and the charge top microphone home. Use the isopropyl cleaning wipe (Please make sure it says it contains isopropyl alcohol) and wipe down the display. Use the microfiber to wipe off dust, apply the fixture, and use your larger dust stickers to remove dust. Apply glue, set the glass down and let it sit for about 2 minutes! Also, make sure the foam absorption pads are fully pressed in and make contact with the sides of the phone. After it's sat for a few moments, place the weight on top of the fingerprint sensor. Put the UV light over, and I let mine sit for about 2 minutes. I removed the weight and applied the uv back to the phone for another minute. And then I was done!TIP TO AVOID EXCESS ADHESIVE MESS: Push your phone out from the fixture by pressing the screen downwards and lifting it on the fixture. Apply the UV light again all around the device's top and sides. The UV glue that leaks around will begin to congeal into a thick piece you can peel off. This is easier to clean up the excess than wiping the phone for an hour. And now you're done!Pros:+Adhesive pushes micro particles of dust OUT+Finger print sensor works perfectly+Protective+Has not peeled on me+Very clear+Easy to install+Lots of adhesive!+Built in levelling meters.Cons:-It's easy to mix up the isopropyl alcohol with the other wet wipe (which I think is oleophobic and leaves streaks)-Little bit of a tedious and intimidating process for people not used to these kinds of protectors-No dedicated stickers to cover ports! The S20 and S21 both had black stickers to block off the ports.-I would prefer the protector cover the front camera, sadly there's a cutout-There are little 'offset' dots around the screen protector, which aren't super noticeable, but they can be-No fullscreen dust sticker like the regular glass protectors have. I would have loved to see full-screen dust stickers such as what the Amfilm iPhone 14 Pro max comes withMost of my cons are to do with things I wish the kit came with or was different. The screen protector is great, the kit is great, and it's the best for the money. I hope Amfilm considers these suggestions going forward!
