where can I find more info on this "pre installed" screen protector?
It looks as though it doesn't go to the edges. Just on the flat part. I've ordered 2 Tempered Glass full adhesive ones from amazon that came today. Similar to the Whitestone dome but only £9.99 each

Does anyone know if there's a Tempered glass back protector? Like the screen protectors but for the rear? Hate cases but if it's case or bare I'll have to use a soft tpu clear one. Always struggled to find a back alternative to the screen protector

Last phone I bought was the Note 9 which had no preapplied screen protector. I assume you just pull this one off easy peasy?

Bought a Whitestone ready to apply when I get my Note 10 plus

Are there any plastic screen protectors that works with the fingerprint sensor? Ideally one without a cut out for the front camera. The pre-installed one is garbage. It looks like the entire screen is still wet from application. Perfect way to ruin a perfect screen with that god awful screen protector, not to mention it doesn't cover the corners of the screen.

Applied my whitestone protector today and because the top speaker is so tiny I stuck my covering sticker too far in and got it trapped under the screen protector...Now I'll have to splurge £50 to get another one ouch

That's what I get for following a video guide instead of reading the manual carefully lol

Well I had high Hope's for the stock screen protector but mine has some lint underneath and what looks like a scratch (hoping not on the display its self) so can see me pulling it off

I've got white stone dome on my note 9 and it's been on since launch and is still like new so carnt fault it but I don't fancy messing around with the install act again

Has anyone had any experience with the spigen wet protector? The last wet ones I tried just never stock down near the edges

Also does anyone else find the stock protector to have a slight snowy effect spoils the display of you ask me

Just installed the spigen neo flex and stuck quite well and looks and feels good only complaint is that there is a bit of a orange peel effect but it hasn't been 24 hours yet so might become less noticeable

Still on the look out for something better need a nice crystal clear one :good:

Like the Whitestone but a lot cheaper at £10. Needs more care but at 20% price of Whitestone you buy a back up!

Alinsea Screen Protector Compatible for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus/Note10+/5G Tempered Glass [Fingerprint Sensor Compatible] [Full Adhesive] [3D Glass] [Case Friendly] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VK3FQKT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_d6azDb3SA06QE
I've ripped off the spigen one and tried this LK [3 Pack Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus/Note 10+ /Note 10 Plus 5G, [In-Display Fingerprint Support][Case Friendly] HD Clear Flexible TPU Film with Lifetime Replacement Warranty https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TXC1VMR/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_nwczDbFX7SBZ2

Only been on a few hours but seems ok but it's nothing compared to my whitestone dome on my note 9

How is the one you bought I was looking at that but for £10 I was a bit sceptical

Did your phone get covered in glue?

If you've used Whitestone before you know you must have a flat surface and check all the instructions twice. I didn't have much excess. One go and acceptable result. Finger print detection does need a robust press. The only issue I had was the provided protective strips for top (inc. Speaker protection) and bottom to stop glue getting in to the various orifices these should be removed after the second 5 minute process for curating the glue otherwise they are very difficult to remove.

Ok great thanks I'll give it a try before I shall out £60 for a whitestone dome:eek:
Do you think I could get away with just masking up the whole phone instead of using the provided strips?

Also how clarity is it as good as the whitestone be amazing if it's all just as good at a fraction of the price

I wounder if the loca glue is the same tho

just installed my whitestone a few hours ago, I had it on my note 9 previously and loved it. Installation was definitely better this time and haven't had any problems yet.

The tricky bit for protection is the very slim speaker above the selfie camera.

Screen is thin and clear.

Found it is best to re-register finger prints after application of the screen protector.

Glue smells similar. You even get two plastic gloves to help with dealing with excess glue!

For my previous 2 Notes I've used Skinomi all over skin (not glass), and have been totally satisfied. I've tried glass protectors in the past and prefer as minimal an effect as possible, especially now with fingerprint ID on the front. While it is true this Note came with a screen protector front and back, I consider them more of packaging material. They are fairly stiff and thick, and I wouldn't say the fingerprint use is exactly a breeze, rarely working in one try. I've had a large number and variety of cases, but with such a beautiful device, I prefer to go caseless, hence the all over skin. I might get the Samsung leather back case at some point, but it does obscure the beauty of the shiny white Note. I just applied the skin, and Skinomi likes to dry overnight, so haven't tested fingerprint ID. Will update if it doesn't work better.

Well its fitted and to be honest it's not bad I dont know if it's the same for you but the top2 corners done seem big enough to cover the whole corner :eek:

Bit of light bleed on the side to but all in all for the price its darn good even my fingerprint works just as before

Glad you found it worthwhile. I think the screen protector on mine covers the visible screen at the top but not the whole front glass area. Probably because of the thin front speaker?

Ya mine is showing the top corners only slightly but if I went much higher then the camera cutout wouldn't line up

Did you notice when shining the UV light there was a shadow under the display its self I initially thought it was the glue that hadn't finish curing but it was something under the display its self

I used an old Whitestone UV unit not the wand like device with this package so didn't notice!

Anyone know of a glass screen protector that doesn't require all these steps and is cheap

I don't care if the fingerprint sensor does not work
