Let's talk screen protectors for the Z Flip 6

[Emaderton3]

I have been a long-time user of just TPU films on my phone screens instead of the tempered glass type. With my Z Flip 3, I eventually stopped using anything on the main screen since I felt it was protected fairly well since the phone folds closed. Anyway, this time around, I decided to buy films and cover all screens on my Z Flip 6. I set the phone up last night and then began trying to put the film on the full screen. However, I noticed that it looked like the phone already had a film on it. A quick Google search confirmed that it comes factory installed!

Unfortunately, there is nothing on the external half screen. The one I bought didn't work well for me, so I ended up ordering a tempered glass one for the external half screen until I can find another film.

Besides all that, will you be putting the camera protector rings on the two external lenses? I noticed that my Ringke case provides extra protection around the camera lenses (sticks out further), so I wasn't planning on it.

UGH I bought the Samsung TPU for flip6 outer screen and botched the 1st attempt, second attempt got a piece of lint causing a bubble. I ordered more of em via Amazon ,gonna try again. This is driving me nuts. I can't seem to get the stupid bubbles out. I've even lifted it like 6 times with scotch tape AND compressed air.

Make sure it doesn't already have one as I mentioned above.

I think the outer screen comes bare!

I did too. Dust.

I can't believe Samsung is selling this for $39.99 Canadian. WTF. It's nothing special. I got it for $17.99 when I bundled my order.

I have never felt the need for a screen protector on the inside screen of all of my Flip phones. Like the other user I felt it was protected enough by just having it closed. And also the fact that they come with their own screen protector. I have never had a problem with my inside main screen.

But the cover screen is a different matter. That I felt needed extra protection so I have always put a screen protector on it. I carry my phone in my purse. There are all kinds of things in there that could scratch the cover screen, especially my keys. While I try to keep them somewhat separated in there stuff happens. I'd much rather the glass screen protector get the scratches than my actual screen.

What do you typically use on the outside screen? And have you ever felt the need to get the camera lens protectors? I bought them but not sure i really need them given the protection of the case around the lenses. Also, I got the light blue Flip 6 so hate to cover up the blue around the camera lenses.

I had the Flip 3, 4, and 5 and never had a screen protector, other than the one that comes pre-installed on the inside main screen. I never put one on the cover screen. But, if you want to, Amazon sells a number of them made for the cover screen. I do use a case (I have a Benks for my Flip 6), but that's all that I do.

I don't do much on the outside screen. I will check messages. I do use the outer screen in the grocery store to use "Shop And Scan" in the Meijer app when I shop. Outer screen comes in handy then. As to camera protection...I don't use any.

Agree 100%. NO additional screen protector products on mt Flip3, 4. or 5. I always use a case with raised edges around the bezel and have not had scratches or any other damage to ineer or cover screens. And the Flip rides in my front pocket just about all day long.

I did for both the flips 3 and 4 but after a while I ripped it off.

I did some poking around on the net and some glass protectors are not case compatible. TPU covers the entire outside screen!

 

[AndroidFanboy8]

Have to order more.i think I'm just gonna order 2.

I've already gone through one OEM package of outer sreen protective film. I botched 2 application attempts.ugh!

So I went to the Samsung experience store,bought another package of outer screen protector and had one of the tech professional's do it.

It was perfect and spot on perfectly placed zero bubbles.

Yeah, mine does not look great. I will have to redo it this weekend. Great idea to go in and have them do it. I always did that when I purchased a phone in a store.

I ended up redoing it today. Besides the bubbles, it was bothering me that it didn't line up with the opening in the case (both are Ringke products so the protector fits in it perfectly but I didn't know that before then). No problems this time.

I bought the Samsung outer screen protector and the applicator they provide worked like a charm, no bubbles.

 

[AndroidFanboy8]

It's their forte.......the techs are def better at application than me as they do it on the daily.

You can really peel it off and apply as the dust particles have already stuck on.
