amFilm Curved Tempered Glass for S22 Ultra Screen Protector Samsung Galaxy

First, I have used several brands of screen protectors. There are basically two kinds. Ones like this that bond completely to the screen, there are only a few of this type or ones that use adhesive on the edges. Most of them are the second type. The quality of that second type vary greatly. Their customer service policies also vary greatly. Most of them are very hard and difficult to scratch with metal objects like keys, a few use cheaper glass that scratch easily. They vary in thickness, so some crack more easily than others. Some are cut accurately and fit well, while others can interfere with the camera or haveclios that catch on clothing or even skin. But there is one thing they all have in common, they leak moisture. Some will get moisture under the glass just from facial sweat. Some will get moisture if you drop it in a full sink or a swimming pool. ALL of them will flood of you go into the water with them. I fish and go rafting. Every screen protector I have had has leaked if submerged for more than a few seconds. This screen protector, which is bonded to the screen, does not leak, even if I take underwater photos with it. But there are more advantages with this type. If the screen is adhered only on the edges, there is a tiny airgap between the protector and the screen. This makes the screen less sensitive. This may not be a huge issue if you are just tapping, and even swiping will usually work, but if you have a pen, stylus, or finger print reader, it gets worse. Most people eventually do recalibration and adapt themselves to the loss of sent sensitivity. HOWEVER, that tiny gap also creates an impact with the screen and some types of drops will still break the screen. Without exception, I have broken the screen on every phone I have owned over the last 10 years. Some look asted a month, a few lasted a year, but because of my active lifestyle, I have never traded in a smartphone without damage... Until now! The bonding agent on this screen protector remains slightly flexible. I have dropped my Samsung S22 Ultra countless times. The phone is still perfect. The screen protector itself lasted over a year and a half. Eventually it cracked. But bits of the protector remained on the screen and continued to protect it until I was able to replace it. Removing the old glass was simple and I think I may have spent 20 seconds removing all of it. The bonding agent remained on the protector and the phone was spotless. I put a new protector on using the cleaning pads in the kit and no further effort was necessary. Nothing has ever worked as well as this. I can't speak for the Whetstone brand, Wich uses a similar technology as I have never used that one, but thisisthe best I have ever used. The curve is perfect to my phone. The cutouts are also perfect. There is a a fraction of a millimeter margin between the protector and the phone frame. It is very tiny and allows you to attach a case.to your phone. In spite of some comments I have read, you will not notice it when you use the phone and it does nothing to compromise the protection. I would say the gap is about the the thickness of a business card. Once you are using your phone you will not notice it and not a single person who has handled my phone has noticed it. In fact one person after seeing the scratches on my phone case asked why I was not using a screen protector and I had to show them the margin which the had not noticed. Of course everything has a downside and this product is not an exception. That down side is the installation is not as easy or as fast as the other type and one must be careful to follow the instructions carefully. When I received my first kit, which includes two protectors, it was defective. There was not much adhesive is one of the tubes and no matter how long I waited or how I tipped the phone, I could not get coverage. I would estimate that the second tube had only about a third of the adhesive as the first one. On my second attempt, the tray would not release the sliders and when it let go it made a big mess and the bubbles could not be removed. So I had to contact the company. No problem. Perfect customer service and they immediately sent replacement glass and the supplies to install it. I had trepidation but it was unwarranted as the install was a snap. I threw away the old guides as the new ones were smooth and easy to use. Pros: Excellent customer service Nearly impossible to see once installed. Does not affect screen sensitivity. (I did not turn screen sensitivity on nor recalibrate). Will not flood. Superior protection Does not shed glass splinters if broken Cons: Installation required carefully following instructions Written directions could be written better (Definitely watch the video). Installation takes 5 to 10 minutes (Vs others which take 60 seconds) Not the least expensive solution available. So what will my next protector be? Without any doubt, this one again. In my estimation it is worth the few extra minutes and the extra cost.

PART 1: comparison to whitestone dome I bought the whitestone dome glass first because it was the rave online. The first install was flawless but got scuffed quickly then a crack happened near the edge so I replaced it. The next install was not so great, had a small bubble it also scuffed shortly after install and cracked on the side. The fingerprint sensor was never good on the whitestone dome glass. After what I felt was a fail, I tried the amFilm. So far so good, about 2 weeks in and no scratches I can easily see and the fingerprint sensor works light-years better than whitestome dome glass. The whitestone dome was especially bad if your thumbs are dry, amfilm performance drops with dry thumbs but still reads after 2 or max 3 attempts. Pros: Finger print reader performance is awesome, and the hardness seems higher than that of the whitestone dome so no scratches. Cons: The fixture to install the glass is not as intuitive, as a result you have to make sure that you center the forward facing camera. Whitestone dome does a better job with the glass position jig. Tips: After you install and want to clean the glass becareful towards the edges. Wiping too hard will pull cured adhesive from under the glass and you'll see a gaps the looks like a bubble by the edge.

Once this product is installed correctly, it looks and works perfectly. I have no bubbles, no dust, and no areas where the protector is not securely adhered to the phone. After a month of heavy use, and a couple of small "oops" events, the screen protector is still tightly adhered and shows no visible scratches. I removed one star because the installation process is a bit tricky. I was glad the package included two protectors since the first was lost learning the "gotchas" of the installation process. So, what went wrong? Slightly different things on each installation attempt. I'll share the experience so you can benefit from my mistakes. First, follow the directions carefully and watch the video. This review is not intended as a replacement for them. FIRST ATTEMPT The biggest problem was that the first protector did not drop easily onto the phone. This one wasn't my fault. There appears to have been a very slight manufacturing defect in the first protector causing it to be too big (almost microscopically) to correctly fit the tray. Next, I should have more carefully leveled the phone. If the bubble is not PERFECTLY centered the adhesive will tend to flow toward the lowest side of the phone. The process is unforgiving. Unlike me, you should take this step VERY seriously. Getting the drops of adhesive to land in the correct locations is also a bit difficult. There is a tendency for the dropper to move off-target slightly when you are unscrewing the cap. This is especially true when the cap is on extra tight. SECOND ATTEMPT This time almost everything went perfectly. However, one of the absorption pads was slightly too large to fit its slot. I was forced to reuse a pad from the first attempt. Also, I was still a bit off target for the adhesive drops. Though, in the end, this didn't seem to matter. WHAT I WISHED I DID WITHOUT removing the adhesive covering, test that your selected protector falls freely into the guides of your tray. If it does not, use the other protector. Check that the absorption pads you have selected both fit easily into the slots on your tray. If one does not, pick another one. Do the above BEFORE you start the installation process. Basically, you're just double-checking the quality of your parts. Hopefully, you'll be lucky, QA will have improved, and it will be unnecessary. Be compulsively careful and accurate when leveling your phone! It really, really matters! While applying the adhesive, hold the applicator in the correct location and try to very slightly loosen the cap without removing it. Basically, just get it started. Assuming the contents did not spill onto your phone, carefully reposition to the correct location and continue loosening the cap until the liquid spills out. I suggest this step because if the cap is extra tight, getting it started will likely cause you to drift off target. FINAL THOUGHTS I hope this helps. Once installed properly, the protector is excellent. Over the past decade or so, I've probably installed about 10 different protectors. Despite being tricky to install, this product produced the best end result I've seen by far!

TLDR: I gave it a chance but it's not worth it. It's too bad this screen protector didn't work out for me. It's a great screen protector, but I don't think their approach to making the fingerprint scanner work through the glass and the adhesive is effective. See the photo. You place a cylindrical weight over the scanner between UV curing sessions. The final result might be called a sort of eclipse effect. I think that means the glue cures around the weight in a random pattern rather than a crystalline pattern. Just guessing on the why. I'm guessing that only the inner area of the circle is "transparent" enough for the ultrasonic waves. It's not visible in normal use but it's visible under bright sunlight or when the screen brightness s turned up. It formed during at lest two installations for me. With three attempts at installation, the fingerprint scanner was never quite right. I used three because AMFilm is a good company. I let them know I had some inexplicable bubbles in my first installation and they sent out an extra screen. I am a person with fingerprints that aren't easily read because my skin is usually dry. One of the big improvements I've noticed with the S22 Ultra over the S21 Ultra was the fingerprint scanner. A TPU screen protector doesn't seem to affect the fingerprint scanner, but this did. With this AMFilm screen protector, the scanner works maybe 1/5 of the time. By contrast, my A71 5G with a TPU screen protector works about 4/5 of the time. The screen protector has a great feel and it is highly transmissive of light. It's strong, clear, and feels like great quality. But I want my fingerprint scanner to work, so I'll have to return to flexible polymer films. Edit: Raised from three to four stars. I decided to keep it on. If I use some lotion, the fingerprint scanner works well enough. No screen protectors are perfect. Flexible screen protectors can drift, peel, and leave a residue, and they lose their clarity fast. By comparison, this is more premium, for sure. Just not perfect. Edit 2: As you can see in the second photo, my screen protector developed a strange spider web bubble during a flight. It's super annoying. I'll go back to flexible screen protectors for sure. What can I say? I tried. Edit 3: The web pattern spread. Obviously totally unacceptable. The initial installation looked almost perfect. The low cabin pressure of the flight seemed to cause the adhesive to fail. I'm back to a flexible screen protector and much happier. The fingerprint scanner works every time now, and there are no bubbles or webs.

TLDR: Stop shopping around - this is the protector you should get for your S22 Ultra (my wife has the S22 version and it's also great). UPDATE: After 6 months of having this installed I just accidentally tested this protector by dropping it on pavement screen first. The screen protector was so badly damaged I thought for sure my phone screen was toast. But I was wrong! My phone is perfectly fine. Combine that level of protection with the fact that after all these months there was no air bubbles or peeling - this is definitely the best screen protector I've ever seen. I have used several different types of screen protectors over the years. But lately they have just been awful. The last one I bought for my Note 20 was so bad I sent it back. Too bad too because I dropped my phone a week later, which is how I ended up with the S22 Ultra. This protector exceeds in all the important ways: successful installation, fingerprint reader compliant, and protection. First, the installation is not quick. Set aside 15 minutes. It's okay though - take your time and it's hard to screw it up. No air bubbles to iron out. No corner that's not flush. None of that. The guide they provide to facilitate installation makes this install lengthy, but in the end, you have a screen protector that fits PERFECTLY! Second, the installation actually takes the fingerprint reader into account. There's no weird circle or air gaps. I did have to reprogram my prints. But after doing that, the reader works just as well now as it did pre-install. Finally, this provides a nice shell of protection and is secure around the edges. I'm not going to drop my phone just to test this, but so far, no scratches and I feel better knowing my screen is safer now than before. I have tried at least 5 different types of screen protectors over the last 2 years (between my phone, my work phone, and my wife's phone) and these are so much better than the competition I feel like they should be in a different product category. Nothing else even comes close.

Hopefully you read the reviews before you buy this. Putting on these hard protectors always makes me feel like I'm doing surgery. Why does it have to be so complicated!!!! First, if you buy this, look at the UV light before doing anything!!!! Plug it in and make sure it works!!!!!!! If it is missing the slide button like mine did in the image, then return it! If you didn't see this review and you already have the glue on (like I did) then skip down to the bottom of this review. I'll tell you how to get it working. The kit - It has everything you need except for a USB-C cable. Make sure you have one close by and it is long enough to reach your flat surface. The instructions are OK, but need some more detail. Put a paper towel under the phone before the glue. There was too much and it got on my table underneath. On that note, I put tape on my ports and buttons because of the glue run over. Might save you some headache. Hate to see what would happen if it got in your USB-C port. If you look at of my images, the tabs slide in the grooves and the arrow on the tab is facing up. Run them back and forth before putting on the glue. Some small plastic debris flakes off. Use the sticker to remove them. Important - when you empty the glue on the phone, keep it very close to the phone so air bubbles don't happen in the glue. Also, inspect the glue closely. If you see any dark specs in them, try to use a qtip to remove them. They are pieces of plastic from the glue vile. If you leave them you will see them under the screen. Pull the tabs slowly and evenly at the same time. Watch to make sure the glue spreads to all areas. If you see air bubbles anywhere, let it sit awhile. Sometimes they will move away. If you still have air bubbles, do not use the UV light yet. If you have to lightly press on the protector then you should. If you still have air bubbles, you may have to lift it or use the 2nd kit. After I used the UV light the screen worked perfect with no touch sensitivity issues. My finger prints worked just as well as it did without it. I did not turn on touch sensitivity in options. HOW TO MAKE THE UV LIGHT WORK WITHOUT A SLIDE SWITCH - Like a few other reviewers, I was sitting there with the glue on my phone and no switch on my UV light. I took a pair of pliers and found the contact on the electrical board that lit up the light. I held it with the pliers until the UV light set the glue. You can see in the pics that I damaged the plastic squeezing the contact with the pliers. Hope this helps. It's a good protector with poor execution on the UV light and instructions.

When I bought my last phone, an S10, I also bought an amFilm glass protector. It was great, but the fingerprint reader sucked with the protector on. Fortunately, this time around I was super extra careful and got a near-perfect install, including the fingerprint reader! Installation - 3/5: Installation was the same as the S10 protector. There are a lot of steps. I've included tips at the end. I double checked the positioning of the UV glue application spots, triple checked the bubble level, quintuple checked that there was no dust or lint, and very very carefully pressed on the protector and very gently repositioned it (<1 mm) to where I wanted it before performing the UV cures with a timer. Screen/bubbles - 4/5: No bubbles, dust or lint whatsoever! Just a few small spots near the status bar where there's some very minor discoloration on bright solid colors, but I rarely notice them. I actually used three dust removal stickers to get rid of even the tiniest speck of dust I saw on the screen, which worked out great. No bubbles whatsoever if you apply the glue properly (READ/WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY). Touch sensitivity - 5/5: No issues with sensitivity, and didn't need to increase sensitivity. Fingerprint reader - 5/5: Most importantly, the installation went so well I didn't even need to redo my fingerprints. I did for posterity, but it works just as easily and quickly as it did with a film protector or no protector on. TIPS: - WATCH THE INSTALLATION VIDEO TWICE BEFORE STARTING - To reduce dust, set a bright light behind the phone so you can look for even the smallest speck. Use the stickers generously. Work in a low-dust area, or run a humidifier/shower. - When applying adhesive, make sure the phone is perfectly level or it will run a little. Apply glue where the instructions recommend. Apply the protector evenly. - Make sure the protector is seated within the tray before pulling the stops out, as it might catch on the side. - The protector might be slightly off-center, so you can wiggle the protector very slightly (<1 mm) or tilt the phone to center it before UV curing. - Test the UV light first. I used a battery pack so I could work away from a power outlet. - Don't forget the second cure after removing the weight and fingerprint sticker. I think some people forget to so they end up with circles/crystals/bubbles around their fingerprint reader. - If you have issues with your fingerprints, remove and re-add them to your phone. Do so while your fingers are dry (wash with soap, dry, then let air dry) for best results as dry fingers cause the most issues usually.

Works pretty well and doesn't have the horrible circle for the fingerprint sensor most others have. Not super easy to put in and once it's off it's off but works well. Only annoying part is the price.

TLDR: Excellent, very high quality screen protector, 100% recommend, but you MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! My biggest criticism: adhesive buildup did fall off of the applicator nozzle and into the adhesive bubbles, but that problem was easily fixed fishing it out with toothpicks. This screen protector is excellent. The tempered glass feels very similar to the s22 ultra's gorilla glass, and there's ample room on the edges to accommodate most if not all cases. You have to follow the instructions exactly! It is absolutely essential to make sure the screen applies correctly and that the application lasts. Every piece of dust must be removed, and after making sure the screen was 100% clean, the application process went very smoothly. Another thing, there may be adhesive buildup around the nozzle of the applicator that can fall off and sprinkle into the adhesive bubbles, so clean the nozzles before using them! But if it happens, use toothpicks to fish the pieces out, I did so and got excellent results despite the hiccup. Again, make sure every single piece of debris is removed from the screen, small pieces of dust that you miss will inevitably make their way in, but that's unavoidable. Another tip: add another 30-45 seconds to the last half of the curing process to ensure the adhesive cures fully. Long story short: pay attention, be meticulous with following the instructions, and you'll have an excellent experience with this screen protector. Bubbles are often due to user error/missing debris that have fallen onto the phone prior to application, and lack of adhesive durability may be due to inattention to the instructions of the curing process, so eliminate those variables as much as you can. You have to be very precise and follow the instructions exactly. For the fingerprint sensor, as expected you will need to reprogram your fingerprint for the best results, and press with a bit more pressure when unlocking your phone, but it is something you do not notice after a day or two of regular use.

I've pasted Whitestone dome glass on my wife and my s22 ultra the first day when we got the device, and is having fingerprint unlock issue since then. But because of the premium price we've paid for the glass, we thought to turn on face unlock instead and let the glass stays on the phone for at least 5-6 months before we changed to another one. However, the fingerprint unlock issue had been such an annoyance that I changed to a local brand, which many reviewed that the fingerprint unlock works, but it doesn't worked for me. I bought two pieces, one for my wife and one for myself, end up I used up both pieces, they are not any better than the Whitestone dome glass. I saw amFilm while searching in YouTube on reviewed for tempered glass installation for s22 ultra, and decided to give it a try. Amfilm didn't disappoint me, it is definitely the best ultrasonic fingerprint unlock compatible tempered glass you can find for s22 ultra! I found that the unlocking speed is no different from naked screen, I'm so happy that I bought amFilm! 😄

Fingerprint is working as mentioned.

Es excelente el producto, bien puesto pareciera que no trae nada el celular. IMPORTANTE! Poner dos botecitos de pegamento a cada cristal, de lo contrario se despegará al poco tiempo. Recomiendo ver la guía de instalación de YouTube de DOMEGLASS y no la de este producto, porque van a quedar burbujas, no presionen la zona de la huella con nada porque marcará error, ni siquiera con la pesa de metal que viene en el kit, mejor dejen que se seque bien unas 8 horas antes de presionar el sensor, ya con eso no tendrán problema alguno.

اريد الاسترجاع لكن ميعاد السماح فاتني لا احد يقبل لصقها لانها تضر بالجهاز و توءثر ع الشاشه الاصليه. كان يجب التوضيح اكتر بالشرح. سيئة.
