Anyone else hate the Curved Screen ?

It's a $900 phone. A $40 liquid screen protector is well within the affordable price range.

To you.

To you.

I don't know man. If you can spend $400 or above, then $40 is kind of well below your spending limit. Difference of priorities I guess. If I can't spend $40 on a protective case, then spending above $400 on a phone would not be one of my priorities.

Well if they would have made the screen flat it wouldn't really matter. Plus I've read where people make a mistake trying to apply the glue and pfft they are out the money.

plenty of videos on YT on the Whitestone. If you can follow simple instructions, shouldn't be an issue. I encourage you to look through the various manufacturers websites that offer liquid installation and see what their replacement policy is, as well as reviews.

You read, doesn't mean you've tried it. I've never really had any trouble doing these stuff. This is way easier than surgery. But I've actually done surgery so YMMV.

Love the curved screen. My IQ Shield hasn't budged off the curves since day 1 in March.......

IQ Shield is the film type correct? This is not Tempered Glass is it?

Correct, that's the screen protector...

I cannot, absolutely cannot, stand the curved screen. I have yet to find a glass screen protector that will adhere correctly. I have gone through 2 Zagg full adhesive screen protectors of which were both installed at the Verizon store and both lasted less than 24 hours before cracking as I tried to press the edge of the phone. The phone is hard to hold without a larger case and at that point, what is the use of the edge. The curved screen glares and distorts images. I'm almost to the point of giving up Samsung for a flat screen phone. I've had Google, Motorola, LG, etc. I have been a fan of Samsung some since the s3 my wife had. All of my previous non samsun phones have had manufactur defect failures. Touch screens failing in sections and or buttons quitting. I got my first Samsung s6 which is still running strong going on 4 years later. I have half a thought to return to attempt to return this S9 and eat the restock fee. I have Verizon, so even if they release an active, I won't have access to it.

[Jimmy Le1]

I kinda like it now ..
As I went through 5 galaxy without screen protection of any kind and work phone too ..
Curve or no curve .. don't bother me a bit ..

Yep same here

 

[brad419]

I love the curved screen. Had it on S7 Edge, and now have the S9+. Really works good for me.

 

[amyf27]

Curved screen doesnt bother me at all. I kind of like it and it looks very nice. I dont bother with screen protectors on my phones, never really have. I do have good cases though.

 

[naturalguy]

I like it, watching videos is an immersive experience with the curves. I don't use screen protectors. In your case I'd suggest getting an OtterBox Defender and use the holster, that will protect your screen

I bought a glass screen protector with full adhesive. Not perfect but works ok and no worries of it falling off

can you tell wich one?

 

[anon(10311036)]

I have been a Samsung devotee since the s2. I did bypass an upgrade when they ditched the sd card though. However I hate the curved screen edges. I chose the flatter version for the S7 but this isn't an option on the s9. Do you think they will ever go back to flatter screen edges ?

I have always had glass screen protectors. I have horses so my pockets are always full of hay, straw . Lots of stuff that would scratch the screen. Plus the phones have a habit if falling out of my pocket when I muck out. This has never been a problem before as the screen protectors did their job.

As per normal I bought a screen protector for the s9 before I bought it to ensure I could stick it on straight away. It fell off after 3 days as it only stuck to the edges. During the wait for the new protector despite being extra careful my screen has marks on it.

I won't be due an upgrade for 2 years but won't get another phone with curved edges. Even if I have to switch brands.

same feeling here. Too damn dificult to find a decent screen protector on my country! (Brazil) And cases too!! Im almost changin it to an LG due to this curved screen.
