Glass Screen Protectors that work with Fingerprint Sensor?

Pleasantly surprised with this one that I just installed. I think the FPS is slightly slower but it's almost not noticeable and it's worth the trade off of the glass feel. Definitely still much faster than it was on my S10. I did increase the touch sensitivity after setting up the fingerprints and also did two scans for each thumb.

Has anyone installed the glass camera protectors yet? I would think that it would mess with the picture clarity a bit. Is this pretty much unnecessary if you have a case that has a lip around the camera?

I just installed this. Very impressed! Easy install and no issues. FPS works flawlessly. Can't even tell that it's on. I usually prefer glass, but thought I'd give this one a try

I'm surprised that the FPS works without any issues, since many of the Amazon reviews state the FPS didn't work.

Yup. Works great. In fact, I didn't even have to re-register another print. Maybe I got lucky.

This screen protector doesn't feel like the typical film type. It feels smooth and not sticky like film protectors. I usually go with glass!

I'm still debating whether to go to the Zagg kiosk or not and just let them put a screen protector on for me. And I guess maybe we won't even use those white stone camera protectors maybe I'll return them.

I used white stone on my 20+. Looked amazing and fit perfectly. It wasn't bad to install. This film protector almost feels like it's not even installed!

This links to glass TQLGY protectors.
I tried those and it brought the reliability of the FPS down to maybe 15%.

Might found perfect one after I ordered 5-6 brands on Amazon LOL.

Also, going to test out TPU version in coming days.

So for glass this is one of the better ones and FPS still works great? My husband has been asking which one he should get. I usually just go to the Zagg Kiosk which is expensive but they put it on. I will probably still do that and if he likes it he may end up doing that too. But for now he told me to make a list of ones you guys recommend.

I did get a 2 pack of the camera protectors and told him people say don't use them and he said yeah lets return them. But maybe I'll get one of these for him to try. We don't need the camera protectors though it comes with. We have Ultras coming so I will search on Amazon for that.

It's odd. It was working great yesterday then as the day went along it started working more and more poorly. Then this morning it would take 3 tries to get it to work. I then deleted two of the other fingerprints and now have 3 set for one thumb and it works great again.

For the installation, do you put down a liquid adhesive between the glass protector and your glass screen?

Since you having Samsung S21 Ultra coming. I would recommend these screen protectors. The Ultra is slightly curve not flat like S21 or S21+. You can pick, but I recommend Zagg glass fusion. I know its $39.99, but it save you a lot of time from trying error. It fell like glass, not plastic :). Life time replacement is only $7.99 shipping.

Thanks I'm going to show that to my husband. We decided against camera protectors were sending ours back that we ordered but for that price I'll take it just for the screen protectors. I guess they make the same ones for the Ultra right?

I've been really impressed with the Whitestone Dome back camera glass protector that I ordered for my S21 Ultra.

Thanks! I'm gonna do Zagg. I like Zagg and the Kiosk at the mall will put it on for me. They are expensive! But I do like it cuz if it messes up or scratches or something happens they put a new one on for me and I just pay like $8. I'll let my husband decide what he wants to do. As long as the FPS still works good it'll be fine.

Oh cool! But my case is two pieces there's this purple metal part that goes on first and then the case I hope it works fine with it. Makes the phone a little thicker but my husband said oh it'll protect good. I got this I blason cosmo case. But once the popsocket is on there I think it'll be fine and I'll get used to it. My husband said it's not much wider than our S10 Plus but it's taller of course.

Now I can't wait to get my phone on Thursday and set it all up. And his home screens didn't come back up with his folders and stuff I don't mine do. I'm pretty sorry about that I told him he might need to do a restore again maybe he did something and it never finished I don't know

I purchased the amFilm glass protector from amazon (knock off Whitestone Dome) and installed right after I received the phone last night. Easy process and works great with the finger print reader. I still have the Zagg glass fusion hybrid I purchased but may request a return for that since it really wasn't glass. With the amFilm, I cant tell I have a protector one unless you really look for it!

Oh really the glass fusion isn't really glass like the am one? How much was it and does it cover whole screen? Well someone else liked Zagg I still may try it unless hubby wants me to try AM Film 1st. I'll google it!

I have the zagg one. I like it, fingerprint works good, however it is "hybrid glass". It is not as hard as glass (more flexible) but definitely a lot sturdier than TPU.
