How is your pre-installed screen protector holding up?

[Indecisi0n]

First thing I did was take that crap off.

Mine has 2 minor scratches but it has held up very well. Gona keep it on as long as possible. So far so good.

I don't wanna take mine off but there's constantly dust/dirt getting in the camera cut out and it drives me nuts until I force it out with my fingernail (instead of a simple wipe with a t-shirt/cloth)

I don't wanna take it off because I don't want the screen to get scratched like my S8 did.

Wondering if they sell a screen protector without a hole punch cut out... and if it would affect the cameras quality

Yes.... it could affect picture quality.
I didn't have a problem with dust, however I removed it to install the Whitestone Dome protector. The original was starting to show minor scratches.

Mine in pristine....perfect.....immaculate.

I've had no problems with mine for (almost) 20 days. Still looks like new.

Both of mine appear to be blemish free.

I would almost always put a Zagg screen protector on until my last 2 phones I think. The screen held up almost scratch free, although I do try and be careful with it. I decided to leave the screen protector on this phone but I'm already ready to remove it as it's all nicked up in a few spots, something I never had with my Zagg protectors. Makes me think the Samsung installed one is not exactly great quality to be this scratched up this fast despite treating the phone no different than my previous ones.

How is everyone else's doing?

Mine lasted about two weeks and started showing scratches. FPS was iffy too. I put on my Skinomi protector that I preordered, before I knew the phone came with one. I like it better. FPS is more reliable too.

Removed mine today after my S10 Plus fell down on the tarmac, the fall damaged my screen protector but the screen has no damage.

Mine still looks great. But it lives in a purse most of its time.

What are you guys are doing to your phones? I've had mine since Mar 6th and my screen protector looks perfect.

Three weeks and doing just fine.

Some people use it more often and vigorously

Uh, no, not more often. If you mean vigorously as in carelessly, yes. I put my phone in my side pocket or back pocket when needed. I use mine pretty much all day at work using my map and Road Warrior app.

My work environment , puts fair amount of scratches on my screen protectors , does that mean I'm careless?

I wasn't referring to you specifically.....I'm just as careful as can be and the plastic had a small scratch. Nothing actually worth removing the screen protector for but I had to to install a Whitestone Dome for a review. The plastic ones don't last that long. In the end I prefer glass anyway it's just that much smoother so the pre-installed one wasn't bad considering it was plastic.

I'm impressed with how smooth the factory protector is. I don't trust is to a hard impact, but for light scratching, mine is doing great.

It is pretty smooth, especially because it's not that soft rubbery wet applied type plastic. It's very reminiscent of the plastic protectors that were around before tempered glass, but in taking it off I noticed said it was thinner then I would have liked compared to the old style.

I still haven't noticed any scratches on my stock protector but I've also not held it up under a light looking for any scratches either. I hope they stay unnoticeable.

Send it over....I'll put it through the paces to see how it holds up.
