Galaxy S21 Plus Screen Protector

The finger print reader was unaffected, I didn't even need to re-register my prints it was a seamless transition for me. As for the install, it is complicated but if you take your time and follow the instructions to a T you shouldn't have any issues. It took me about 20 minutes to finish the install but I'll tell you what it's well worth the effort. Clarity is outstanding it's almost as if the protector's not there and it looks clean. No darkened edges, no adhesive trace, just a piece of tempered glass. It is a little pricey but well worth it.

I like this but it was tricky to apply. DON'T forget to tilt the cradle when applying the adhesive or it won't be uniform. I messed it up 3 times (sigh) and then the company was nice enough to send me another one for $10. That one worked. I like the UV adhesive and the toughness. The touch sensitivity is degraded somewhat from the bare screen. BTW, since it is a UV cure adhesive, if you mess it up a couple times, just wipe it off and start over. Watch the online videos A LOT. In particular YOU MUST TILT THE CRADLE to get the adhesive to cover the S21+ surface.

I bought this 2 pack and applied the first screen protector. It went well and worked with the fingerprint sensor. After a few months, it developed cracks but stayed on.After a while, I got a new phone case so I figured I should replace the cracked screen protector with the other one. The application did not work, and I ran out of the adhesive. No problem, I thought. I'll just request another through the lifetime warranty.I was very disappointed to see that the warranty costs $10 to use. I don't think that should be called a warranty at all. It's just them making another sale.I don't think this product is worth the money. The application is complicated (watch their own video to verify that). There's a risk you won't even be able to use it and have no recourse.

Most important thing first, yes, the ultra-sonic fingerprint reader does work with this screen protector. While registering my prints took a bit more pressure than baseline (with touch sensitivity turned up), once registered, I can unlock my phone on the first or second finger press reliably. I would recommend registering your main finger twice just to improve performance.Now I've used Whitestone screen protectors many times in the past for phones with curved glass screens. Their glass was always of high quality and proved durable with good clarity and impressive smoothness when swiping. While the application process has always been more involved than your average glass protector, it isn't particularly hard to get through once you've watched the installation video guides and run it through your head a few times before attempting. Is that more than you'd do for just about any other protector? Sure. But Whitestone's method practically insures a great install when done right.There is an elephant in the room though and it's been growing bigger and bigger over the years. The price.Whitestone's products have always been significantly more expensive than your average glass screen protectors. While a $8-10 will normally get you 3-4 perfectly good tempered glass protectors, Whitestone has always charged in the $50 range for 2. I've justified spending this much in the past because with curved screen phones, average glass protectors either didn't exist or fit awfully and performed badly. Whitestone was usually the only quality solution.The thing is though, with the S21 and S21+ Samsung has thankfully gone back to flat screens. There isn't any special curves to account for. This makes producing the screen protectors much simpler for Whitestone. But Whitestone has instead increased the price even further with this protector set costing $70! I'm sorry, but that is in no way a good value for 2 flat pieces of glass, a cheap UV nail light, a few tubes of adhesive, and an installation frame they've had around for years.While I still respect the quality of their products, as they keep pushing their prices higher and higher, I just can't justify using them much longer.Tl;dr - good quality protector that works well with the fingerprint reader but IS TOO EXPENSIVE for what it is.

I am happy with this glass screen protector. Install was easy after watching the video a couple times. The glue was pretty messy to work with and I had to clean it up after the first round with he UV light. Finger print reader works good. I noticed I have to press a little firmer for it to register. But I like this screen protector and would buy it again if I needed another one. I'm happy I was able to install it on the first try and have a spare for the future.

A great screen saver, but that some it to get it installed. Follow directions and no problem.

Not as easy to install as a whitedome with the mechanical system but it still works. Finger print reader works flawlessly, no sign of loss of sensitivity. This is by far the best protector you can get. The cost his high, but the installation isn't the bad. Plus you get 2.

This has complicated installation for no reason. The adhesive runs out and does spread well, didn't see the point if the UV light. I used 2 bottles and still had bubbles, and this is not glass, its plastic!After all the effort the fingerprint sensor did not work. Overpriced and wishing I had gotten an easy to install glass for less.
