Tempered glass screen protector suggestions for the Note 20 Ultra?

[SynnerSyndrome]

Yes, yes you can pull it off without any damage to the screen whatsoever. The glue cures into a gummy gel type substance not a crispy hard rock type substance. In my experience, I've been able to remove the glass without any trace on the screen with little to no effort.

That's the biggest thing I was worried about. As the rock hard type that would essentially cracked the screen. Is it easy or difficult to do. Sorry I'm asking so many questions I'm just very unsure about something like this which I've never put glue on my phone before

But you have put glue on your phone if you've ever used tempered glass. They all use an adhesive (glue) to make them sick to the phone. Just with WSD you apply the glue yourself.

I wonder if it's the same really... adhesive I think is a better word over the UV glue that is used. I mean I have applied countless of tempered protectors on iPhones in recent years. They all have full adhesive on the entire back side unlike the ones for Samsungs where they only have the edges (and still dunno why they do that on Sammy screens) and when I need to pull off the covers, I never have any residue on the glass. Just a light wipe down and ready for another screen.

The UV glue sounds like ymmv and it requires more work or past posts on other forums would mention needing more work to remove.

These darn curved screens... I am so over curved screens really but I like the models so I endure. But if we didn't have curved screen then we wouldn't need these UV glue type kits and have normal kits like that's available from iPhone and they'd be inexpensive too.

Reviewers like MKBHD have been saying they are over curved screens... let's hope manufacturers listen. Fold2, Note 20... good start.

I was very apprehensive, just like you. I thought maybe it was too much trouble. Maybe I would damage my $1K+ phone. I have 5 phones, currently, and Whitestone Dome is on 4 of them. It is a protector that not only provides as much protection as tempered glass can but, in my experience, is safe for the device and is easily removable without damage.

The only way you can really know if it's right for YOU is to give it a try.

That's why - and I never thought I'd say it - but I'm going iPhone next year. I've even thought about trading the Note20U for this year. Done with curved screens

The next iPhone could be great...we'll have to see.

I always have a look out for the next iPhone. The X was pretty innovative. Loved that they did away with that pesky home button - like what Samsung did with the S8.

I thought this was going to be the year that I left Android for iPhone. I've never been a big Apple guy. Ever. In fact the only Apple I have is an iPad for one of my jobs. Outside of that it's always been Dell for computer Android for phone or Blackberry for phone. I was honestly thinking of trading back the note 20 Ultra but reading about some of the things that apple is leaving out of the iphone12 Promax just kind of didn't sit well with me. But if they bring a hundred and twenty hurts in next year I'm gone. I love that new blue color they have in the new design of the phone I love that too but I mean the lidar sensor sounds good but I'm not paying a bunch of extra money for Less features. I know people keep talking about well it doesn't have an SD card that you can expand that's nice I have iCloud space. But right now I'm on Android and I'm with Android still but through a lot of these responses I have some ideas still no definitive answer on what I want to do yet but I have better options than I did for screen protectors. But I'll tell you part of the reason why I was very reluctant as well this year is that stupid curved screen

I've removed many WSD protectors and they've never left residue on the screen?

I don't mind the curved screen. It happened at a time when Samsung was accused to making their phones look like iPhones, so it all started with the Note Edge... and then the GS6 edge. Yes, it's made a glass protector harder put on, but when curved screens started to show up in Samsung phones, tempered glass protectors weren't a thing. The curved screen allows the phone to appear to have an infinity screen which wouldn't be possible with a flat screen, and allows them to minimize the screen to body ratio. But either way, I don't it nor do I mind if it went flat.

I just find it amusing that many folks in the media screamed for Samsung to do things different, and make their phones feel more premium - and when they do (curved screens, glass backs) - people got tired of it. So Samsung tried going back to plastic back with the Note 20 and people are upset that it doesn't feel premium. Samsung can't seem to please anyone.

Good point

No, I’m saying that those who have posted the hazy pics with the WSD on... the pictures are distorted because they are using an adhesive that covers the entire glass including over the lenses and even though it may look clear, it really isn’t optically clear and that layer of adhesive is causing the distortion??

where Spigen advertises no adhesive over the lenses area causing no reduced quality in photos with glass on.

I think you're talking about a different thread. I don't see any reference to hazy pictures or the camera protector in this thread. kupkrazy was referring to your post about liquid UV glue verses adhesive and curved screens.

The camera lens cover uses regular adhesive and I think the cause of hazy pictures is the glass itself. I just tried one without actually installing and you can see it turn turn blue as soon as the flash goes off. It's perfectly clear otherwise. They obviously did not test it before it was produced.
