Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector [Glas.tR EZ Fit] designed for Galaxy S23 (2023) [2 Pack] - Case Friendly

It's so so so easy to install and does a great job at protecting my screen. This has been my go to screen protector since I throw my phone around at least 5 times a day and the actual screen has never cracked. Highly recommend and so worth the price, especially since it's a 2-pack!

If you were like me and wanted full screen protection, this is the screen protector for you. Experience had shown me that even if the edge of the screen does not get high use, that artificial edge collects a lot of debris. Lots of debris results in scratches or at best dirty appearance. I was worried about the fingerprint reader and the fitting cases from other brands. First, if this screen protector interfere with any case, then that case is covering the actual screen. There is a very slight gap between the frame and the protector, that is slightly smaller than the lip of the frame. It just looks so natural as Samsung built the phone. I chose to pair it with the Ringke Fusion case in smoke and the two fit perfectly together.Now to installation, this is by far the easiest I've ever done and I've done many over the years. The wipes as with all brands, can leave some streaking residue albeit very, very little. If it does, wipe it with a good cleaning cloth made to camera lens or eyeglasses. I used the Walmart brand from the eyeglass store. Then using the stickers, start picking up all of the dust. My secret to removing the dust is use a small bright light that is shining from a side angle. Another phone propped on its side or something like the KunHe W1 COB lights works great. I love these super bright, USB-C rechargeable things. Without the bright light, you will be trapping a lot of dust.Add the camera lens protector from Spigen, Glas.tR EZ Fit Optik Pro for full protection that work with any case.Now to one slight problem in which there has to be a little give and take. Samsung calibrated their ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for the their screen's thickness. Not the thickness of adding more glass on top of that. As such, the fingerprint reader does not always work without some effort. Most of the time it is fine, others times like just after you clean and dried your hands, it will not. Steps to improve it working, delete and add more than one fingerprint after installing the screen protector. Another, is press a little harder and the last one is to breath on your finger much like fogging your glasses when cleaning them. If your fingers are too dry it will have some trouble. I've also added a routine as in Modes and Routines that keeps the phone unlock based on locations like your house. Either way, this is much better than the screen protector with a cutout for your finger. Thanks

Encountered initial issues when attempting to apply Spigen’s glass tempered screen protector to my new Samsung Galaxy S23. Despite following Spigen’s instructions carefully, was unable to successfully accomplish. Encountered bubbles on first screen attempt that just resisted removal. Consequently, I then moved on to the second provided screen protector for another try. That one failed too due to an unexpected anomaly when the screen protector itself unexpectedly detached from its associated back film during an early step of the installation process (this shouldn’t have occurred). As an aside, I’m no novice in installing these protectors, having previously done so on six other devices without any difficulties.I subsequently contacted Spigen Customer Support and informed them of my experience. Spigen promptly replied, and, after I furnished them some documentation and photos, they immediately sent me a replacement screen protector 2-pack. This time, using the same exact procedures followed earlier, my first installation retry was perfect—absolutely no bubbles anywhere! The result is flawless, and I’m completely satisfied. Their screen protector looks great on my new device—in fact, can’t even tell it apart from the actual phone screen. Plus, the fingerprint reader works fine. And it’s completely compatible with Spigen’s accompanying attractive and sturdy Tough Armor case.Bottom line, Spigen’s support in assisting me was top-notch. I will not hesitate in doing business with them in the future. Their products are high quality and, most importantly, they stand by them. That’s why I’m giving an overall 5-star review.

Let me start off with the good.The installation frame is lovely. It made the entire experience so much easier. I was also happy to see that my Otterbox Defender Series Pro case had no issues with the glass. From the back to the front, I feel like my phone is truly safe. I'm happy I took the risk. I worried that I should have gone with a film in case the glass would be too thick, but I'm pleased to say that there is no curling.Granted, I only just finished installation When I installed my mom's protector and my own, I almost thought there was no product at all. Only when I had to reinstall my first failure (and still fail) did I truly recognized that there was a protector there.Now to talk about my struggles.First time I bought this product, I planned on using one protector for my mom and the second for myself. I applied my mom's easily and it fit well with her regular Samsung case. She also had no issues with her fingerprint recognition.My installation ended up with a bubble that refused to disappear, no matter how many times I reapplied. That was disappointing and stressful, since I paid for same-day shipping. At least my mom's phone was fully protected, because she has a habit of not taking care of her tech.I initially thought of buying another, but I saw a review saying a second box could be sent for free if there was an issue and my friend and mom agreed. Surprisingly, they were right. I sent an email, received a response the next business day, and received a new box the next week. Just now, I applied the protector and it went perfectly. A very small bubble appeared near the edge that was removed easily.Because of the frame and the potential issue with bubbles despite that, I will give this product a tentative 4 starts for "Easy to Install" and 4 starts for "Adhesion." I only failed once but succeeded twice and experienced good service, so I don't want to undersell.
