How is your pre-installed screen protector holding up?

[Snareman]

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 is still perfect but I put it in a case and haven't removed it. Once it has damage I'll put my spigen plastic one on.

I took mine off after about a week. I noticed the FPS/home button area was already becoming matte from heavy use and it bugged me. Made the FPS more reliable after I took it off too

Mine is showing a few wear areas after less than 2 weeks. I also have a large scuff by fingerprint sensor. I plan to remove and install a Skinomi screen protector soon.

Mine is still good, but it will come off when it starts showing wear. Is plastic, so I'm sure it will eventually.

No issues with mine so far.

I haven't had any wear around the FPS, but I mostly keep it unlocked with smart lock or have been using facial recognition since I just recently got the FPS to work reliably.

Yup, same with me. Have the spigen neo flex on deck once this pre-installed screen starts to lose its usefulness.

Mine is still holding up very well

The factory-installed ones are now on sale at Samsung... a two pack for $19.99

Mine got gouged within a few days. I had pre-ordered the ZAGG before I knew that the phone came with a screen protector already installed. After the gouge happened, I decided to try the ZAGG. It actually installed very easily, and I like the feel of it. The pre-installed protector was fine while it lasted. Who knows how long the ZAGG will last.

Mine is still installed and loooks as good as it did day 1. I'm quite liking it. It doesn'r seem to pick up fingerprints or other smudges like most screen protectors. It's staying on until it starts showing wear.

Yes my husband's is already messed up in a spot. I'll keep mine on when I get the phone until it messes up then go to the Zagg kiosk and get one put on. I'm guessing it will work good week the FPS.

Mine lasted great for about 20 minutes. That's when I ripped it off. lol

How are the zagg and other protectors working with the fingerprint scanner?

How are the zagg and other protectors working with the fingerprint scanner?

As with most things . I've read mixed results.

Its been fine. Instructions say to redo the fingerprint learning, which I did, and it works now the same as before it was applied.

Can't even tell the factory one is still on the phone.

Mine is as good as day one

Mine got scratched up this weekend so I took it off and put on the Whitestone Dome that I purchased before I bought the phone. Now my FPS hardly works. It worked great with the factory screen protector.
