Anti reflective screen protector advice

Fiona26 — Wed, 28 May 2025 13:51:33 GMT

Today I'm thinking of changing my Samsung anti reflective screen protector due to having a few noticeable hair line marks. I purchased spigen ones from amazon.

Which do you recommend, install the spigen glass protector or just install another samsung anti reflective one.

Which do you prefer and find the best to use?

I heard that some were getting touch response issues with the Spigen glass protector
I bought them myself but didn't use them yet. Partly because of this.
Plus I wanted to try through Samsung anti reflective one

After 3ish months my screen protector looks horrible and I really care of my things.
Yesterday I ordered the second batch of Samsung anti-reflective screen protectors. I will order something more durable, even if it is not anti-reflective. It's a bit odd changing screen protectors every second months. Please update us if is possible about how is the quality. Thx

I don't give advise to ladies.. they have already made up their minds and just want to mess with out heads ☺️

Also I don't use screen protectors which makes me unqualified to answer 😂

And I have no clue why I am even writing this post.

Ignore me please. Boredom .🤧

I would go another Samsung which is i what I have now. Could you post a screenshot just to see what it looks like.

Glass makes me worry it will damage screen underneath long term

Thanks, what's also concerning is after someone removed a screen protector, it took some of the anti reflective coating off. Not sure what screen protector they used. I honestly have not had any issues like that with previous devices myself.

Going to throw a wrench in, and possibly some not-so-useful information.

Personally, I use ZAGG—if you buy one in a Carphone Warehouse within Currys store, they will replace it an unlimited number of times for the first year if it fails. The last couple of years I've used exclusively ZAGG, and they've been great.

But—IMO, it can't hurt trying a Spigen one from Amazon; worst case, it fails, Amazon's returns are so easy.

I have the Samsung anti reflective film as well. It does mark easier than glass but the practical usability in helping reduce reflection glare when hiking/taking photos outside is way more important I'd say, well at least to me.

You can turn your screen brightness up to overcome the reflections of course on normal glass screen protector but i'd rather save the battery life personally.

If you are after a stronger glass one that is better outside, I know Flolab do a anti reflective one if that helps don't think they are cheap though sorry.

I was using the samsung official one on my s23 ultra. Over a year use marks were there but not as obvious. The real worry for me, is changing them. Especially if someone had one remove some of the coating 😱

Edit
I installed another samsung anti reflective screen protector in the end. If you do try a more durable one like the spigen glass protector, do let me know how it goes. Looks much better now without the marks. It installed perfect where the first one didn't quite align dead centre. Went over more to one side. But I have a line in the middle this time, hope it goes after time 😂

Blimey I've not heard that.
Would be concerning. That's what worries me about using the glue on type protectors like Whitestone Dome.
I've never had an issue like that with Spigen as the sticky stuff is not that strong

I'm thinking the same, applying a Samsung one.

Edit

So I decided to apply the official Samsung one again. Removing the old one was fine. No patches like the coating was removed 👍

If it did remove some of the phones coating, not as easy with Samsung to replace 😳 😂 bit scary knowing this has happened to someone.

You can buy sprays which re apply it- not had to myself but doesnt seem too bad but I imagine this is rare to happen

@Fiona26: If you've settled on the decision to go with the official Anti-reflecting Screen Protector for the S25 Ultra, then please note that you can purchase one directly from samsung.com via the link below.

A brand that I can recommend for screen protectors is JETech on Amazon, I've been using them on all my phones I've had since 2017-Until now. From My Samsung, J4+, S20+ S20U S23U and my S25U, and they even have privacy screen protectors, and easy to install, I find they work best with Spigen Cases and Mous Cases.

Although one thing I have to mention since it's important to mention, is that the S25 Ultra comes with Anti-glare layering on the display, and applying screen protectors can damage the coating.

Hope this helps you.
