I will be ordering the Whitestone Dome. I have used it on my last 3 Samsung phones and it works perfectly.
I used ultimate shield on my s7 edge and was very happy. Only recently it started to lift near the volume buttons so I bought another and that has been fine.
I would buy another but am unsure with regards to the finger print sensor.

@GalaxyLooney, you might be interested in this: https://bgr.com/2019/02/20/galaxy-s10-specs-screen-protector-problem/
Looks like screen protectors will work with the fingerprint sensor, though we've got to look for some Samsung "certification." Anyone have any info on this? No offense to the Whitestone fans, of course, but I'd like to know what our options are and what the prices are like.

$1000 phone and you're complaining about a $45 glass screen protector? Do you have any kind of idea what it will cost to replace the screen if you crack it?

Fair point, but it's worth noting that a cracked screen is usually on the order of $200 to replace, and there's a good chance that your credit card already offers you insurance to cover that. My Uber Visa card, for example, has $600 in mobile phone insurance (two claims per year) as long as I pay my bill with the card.
What I wonder is why Samsung doesn't offer a glass screen protector for their own phone. My barrier is not the $50, but the fact that I have to install it myself and risk throwing that $50 down the drain if I mess up. I'd much rather pay Samsung $50 to ship my phone with a glass screen protector pre-installed.

It's installed by Samsung. It's like a film of some sort which you can't just peel off. It's there as a screen protector and per att it is supposedly covered by Samsung for 30 days.

A new screen for a Note 9 is $250 +/- and that's only because the prices have come down. You've also got the charge for labor that will cost as much as the screen if not more than the screen. Asking for Samsung to include a glass screen protector is like asking Chevy to provide insurance in case you dent the door. Screen protection is your responsibility.
You really should watch some install videos on Whitestone Dome. I think you're overthinking the installation more than you have to. If you don't feel like you have the necessary skill, ask a buddy.
As for anything that comes on the phone as seen in the stores....I wouldn't trust whatever it is. It's more than likely just the factory film. Even replacement screens come with a protective film installed. They're there just to prevent fingerprints and scratching.

Heh, a free glass screen protector would be great, but what I meant is that it would be nice if Samsung offered to install a glass protector for a fee before shipping the phone.
And let's be fair with our analogies. This would be like asking Chevy to sell me the car with giant styrofoam pads attached to the doors so they don't get dented in the parking lot.

I don't remember seeing a screen protector already installed. Makes me want to go back and see the phone again. I didn't play with it enough or really see how fast it was I just took a couple pictures of it with different backgrounds.

Wow, nice! Weird that T-Mobile told me otherwise. I think Samsung is more trustworthy than a random T-Mobile rep on this, though.

I was at an AT&T store today looking at the S10+ again and I made a point to ask about screen protectors. I mentioned the fact that it was said that they apparently needed to be certified by Samsung in order for the IDFS to work properly, but I was told there's no reason why TGSP's wouldn't work. The guy then showed me his Note 9, that had a Zagg TGSP on it. Sigh, I don't know. I'm hoping Samsung comes out with a list of approved third party manufacturers of screen protectors. Whitestone Dome looks like too much of a chore, plus it's way too expensive. I wish RhinoShield came out with their 6-layer impact protection film again. That one saved my Nexus 6P's screen countless times. If only they figured out how to curve it.

What is Zagg TGSP? I was hoping if one wasn't pre-installed I could use Zagg. I mentioned before but I like this girl at the kiosk in the mall who puts them on she does a good job. I think on my ever since my 7 edge I've Zagg invisishield I think it's called.
