Genuine Question

Brooklin — Mon, 05 May 2025 00:40:38 GMT

What do you guys use for your phone, specifically screen protectors?

Do you go without, do you keep the anti Reflective coating by adding Samsungs Screen protector or do you just get a screen protector or protection and forget about Reflective. I need to know.

I personally go without one as I want to keep the anti reflective feature of my s25u working.

For other phones (so any phone that isn't the s24u or s25u) I'd say there's no downside to using one. Just be careful with the epoxy ones as those can harm the coatings on the glass if they are removed. Normal ones that are as sticky as tape are fine.

Oh and make sure it's compatible with in screen fingerprint sensors. Some screen protectors can make them act up

Im seeing a lot of people go without screen protectors and their say they just use a good case. Im tempted to remove mine if this starts becoming a tread as I currently use a Spigens Ultra Hybrid Neo One case and Samsung Anti Reflective screen protector (it has a bubble in the left edge of the screen protector)

I stopped using screen protectors when Samsung stopped pre-applying them on the S22 Ultra. Since then I've not used them on any of my Ultras (Note 10+ 5G and 21 I've removed, none on my 22/23/24/25).

A good case can only go so far if you drop your phone screen down onto a stone. I'm more confident with no protector as I have insurance on my device. If I didn't, I would consider a screen protector if it had an anti reflective coating

Seems to be a trend if no screen protector. Quite interesting.

My phone is covered by Vodafone via Phone Contract.

Personally- I dislike the film type screen protectors and always go for glass. My prefered brand is zagg Glass Elite

Not once had a single issue with fingerprint nor screen issues

Honestly, user dependent and personal experience. I'm a pretty meticulous person with my phones, so rare for me to damage/drop them. This might not be the case for many people, so having a screen protector is vital.

As long as accidental damage is covered. A good case is probably plenty. You get to use the anti reflective parts to their fullest and in case the screen is damaged, you can get it replaced under Vodafone

I rarely drop my phone and on the 2 occasions ive dropped it ive had the case on. (I almost never take it off only fir cleaning) and Vodafone cover the phone fir damages as I'm on a contract.

Quick thing. Accidental damage would be a yes. You have no selected. Not sure if it'd change the outcome at the bottom but just something I noticed

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Genuine Question

Accidentally damage if selected yes would apparently list it as unable to be recovered however i am unsure if thats directly the case. Apparently it can still be repaired it'll just cost me.

Just be careful. Have a look exactly what the terms of the insurance is. As if you chose not to have a screen protector due to having insurance, then if you came to use that insurance they said accidental screen damage isn't covered, it'd be a nasty surprise.

Will do. I'll look at it now.

I got Vodafone insurance now for £9.50 which covers basically everything but thief and loss.

I still have original Samsung pre-installed screen protector on S21 ultra, it's amazing.

The S24 Ultra is perfectly protected by Samsung's S-view wallet. Without screen protector. The screen is good, like new, without a single scratch, but it does get fingerprints so I have to wipe it often.

Re: Re: Genuine Question

Brooklin — Mon, 05 May 2025 02:57:46 GMT

I don't have that wallet case for my S25U if have Spigens Ultra Hybrid Neo One case and ive removed my screen protector and just bought insurance.

Re: Re: Genuine Question

Unfortunately, Samsung didn't make an S-view wallet this year and that's one of the main reasons why I didn't buy the S25 Ultra. I've been using Samsung's S-view wallet exclusively for years and I don't know what I'd replace it with, back cover is just out of the question for me.
