Spigen NeoFlex Screen Protector Designed for Galaxy S23 Ultra (2023) [2 Pack] - Case Friendly

I purchased this screen protector in April 10 2023 still have it on my s23 ultra, this thing is awesome, thank you

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My second time ordering these screen protectors. Love them

I think i am going to give another brand of TP Film a try after I have used the last of these Spigen ones. Purchased when I got my S23 Ultra brand new in January 2024. After researching and reading of all the issues of tempered glass protectors with the fingerprint sensor, I decided to go with a film protector. As a fan of Spigen Cases, i picked up the matching screen protectors assuming they would fit perfectly with them. I am methodical in my application of screen protectors and do not take the phone out of its case once everything is done.Unfortunately these screen protectors have not lived up to my expectation in this regard. With peeling up at the top edge of the screen on every application i have performed. It is very rare for me to go through a box of protectors in a little over a year and have many leftover boxes of unused protectors for my old phones. As these are on the higher end of price for this type of product, you should expect better performance.Protection wise and sensitivity these film protectors work perfectly. I have experienced no issues with the fingerprint sensor or S-Pen usage. If they resolve the screen edge peeling issue, they will get a 5th star.

The idea of a flexible screen cover for the curved screen of the S23 Ultra SOUNDS awesome. But the reality is very different. This product is great if you:Have a clean room (surgical clean, not house clean)Have no air movement whatsoever (no breathing)Have 90% humidity to prevent the solution from evaporatingHave no fingerprintsAndAre completely baldIf that describes your situation, then go for it!Otherwise, you really need to get a different product. The application solution they provide doesn't come with enough volume, so prepare to dilute some class cleaner to use. The material itself is pretty decent, but when you're trying to align the edges, it's just too flexible and makes for horribly curvy edges. They give you a couple extra tiny "dust removal stickers" but my suggestion is that you use them on the exterior surface (the non adhesive side) to help you place the film without leaving fingerprints on the edges.This would have been an easy 5 star if the first film had worked, but my AC was going and dropped some dust as I was applying it and ruined it. And for that want to say 'just use something to get the dust off' can enjoy the process themselves. After getting the second one down I saw the edges were curvy and wouldn't sit down properly so I took it off and went through the whole dang process again (still ended up with crap under it, seems impossible not to). Decided I'd do even more damage if I kept going, so it looks fine, just noticeable specks.The worst part isn't even the dust. It's that the squeegee tool the provide is made out of cardboard. Yeah. The thing you're supposed to push a LIQUID out with... Is cardboard. By the time I got to reapplying the second one, the whole thing was coming apart. Ended up with specks of paper attached to the film around the front camera. That took a while to clean out, but now the adhesive around the camera is a little mucked up.For anyone from Spige, you guys really need to figure out the basics again. I like the case from you guys, but this film and application process really needs some work. Reach out to me if you can, I'd love to help make this better. It's close, but it's a cliff you're trying to get up, not a hill.TL;DR:Don't buy this unless you have a whole lot of patience and perfect application conditions & technique.For everyone else, just get a hard cover, a phone case with one built in, or one from a different company entirely.

Video makes the install process seem overly simple, and if you had a clean room, it probably would be just that easy. Reality is not so ideal.I like the way that the film is placed on the phone with a soapy water layer, similar to how window film is installed...however it is impossible to avoid getting a stray piece of dust or similar between the screen and the film when you apply the film. And in the process of pressing the water out you press the dust into the adhesive layer of the film and it never comes back out.Getting the film lined up and installed onto the phone was a breeze, the functionality seems to be fine overall and I like that it isn't a super tacky film like some other brands I've used on past phones.I had to use both films for the first application, I had cleaned the phone surface, used the dust stickers, had everything looking pristine, peeled the first sheet off the backing (which needs design improvement), and applied it to the phone screen following the directions to spray everything liberally with the solution. Once I got the film lined up nicely I used the squeegee to work the fluid out from under the film and found about 5 dots of dust had gotten under the film. I peeled the film back off, attempted to wash it off, and used the 2nd dust sticker to try and pull the dust out of the film, to no avail. I reapplied it and found even more dust had gotten into the film at that point. So I started over, with the 2nd film sheet, moving to a workspace with no air movement and being as methodical as possible getting every little spec of stuff off the screen and holding my breath while applying the spray/film again. This 2nd attempt was better, but I still ended up with a few very tiny specks in the film.I will accept this attempt and will see how well the film holds up to daily use. I expect that I will eventually go back to a tempered glass protector, if I can find one compatible with the case.
