I don't use a screen protector (I am against them personally) but if I would, I would clearly use the best I could find. Most people are arguing about the high price of the Whitestonedome but it has the best reviews and not only on this device. That means it's a good company that makes high quality products.

You own an 1000 EUR + device but trying to find cheap protection for it? C'mon, either don't use any or grab the best possible, don't be cheap with such a device if you really want/need protection

P.S. Valid for cases too...
P.S.2 Not knowing it has a pre-installed screen protector (I thought is the packaging screen foil like on the back), I took mine off after the first hour. The main reason for that was the feeling on the edges as I felt it every time I was swiping my finger from the edges

LOL... This tells me you never used a Whitestone product, OR had to deal with their warranty. The reviews are paid for and the protectors are crap. It's an awful company that has average protectors, and overcharges like crazy for them. I had them on 3 devices. Never again.

I never use ANY screen protector, I don't need to. But maybe you haven't got my point...that is: you have one of the most expensive devices but still you're cheap when it comes to protection or accessories.

And please don't give me the usual speach about quality versus price and that some products are overpriced...bla, bla, bla. You bought a Samsung right? An original and expensive one to be more precise, not a cheap chinese copy that looks like one. So I guess one can afford a decent or high quality product for protection (being it Whitestonedome or whatever)

I would much more appreciate a review of such a product based on quality or looks, or how good it is and less about how expensive it is. Because I don't personalyy care about price but about quality (for which I already choose to pay)

P.S I hope you understand that I was generally speaking and my reply was not aimed at you dirrectly. I used "you" only generally speaking .

And again, they're simply NOT GOOD SCREEN PROTECTORS. You keep going on and on about "not being cheap" because you "bought a $1000 phone". It's not about being cheap, they're awful screen protectors, and an awful company, with AWFUL customer service. It doesn't matter if they were $50, $100, or $20.

No, it doesn't. It means they paid for their reviews. Their products are generic chinese protectors, their LOCA is sub par, and their customer service is atrocious. They only thing they actually do well is the frame they include for installation.

I never use ANY screen protector
Yes, and this shows. Stop trying to rationalize a really poor argument. You don't even have any experience with ANY screen protector, in a SCREEN PROTECTOR THREAD, so why are you trying to shoehorn your opinion in here when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about?

If I don't use one personaly that does not mean I have no clue about what I'm talking or that I don't know about screen protectors. I was just trying to say that price is of no importance when you have such device and the thing that matters is how good the protector is and not the price.

If you just want to bring arguments against Whitestonedome, go ahead. You had a bad experience, I get it but if they were so bad as you say, I think there were much more people saying the same...and most people I know (and they are not paid reviewers) are extremely happy with it.

If you have another good product you would rather recommend, why don't you tell which one is that instead of just saying this is bad

I'm disappointed in the Whitestonedome protectors. I've had it on for less than 2 weeks, and the other day, I noticed several cracks in the bottom. Phone has not been dropped. It's very disappointing to pay so much for a screen protector, just to have it fail due to no fault of mine in such a short time. I may have to look at a different protector, or go without one (which makes be nervous).

Ive bought 2 screenprotectors in the first week of owning my note 10 + both having an awefull lighter circle right on the fingerprintscanner. The glass screenprotector of cellularline has a perfect fit barely noticable on the corners but the fingerprint circle bother me to much to keep it on( the scanner also doesnt work)
Still looking for an good screenprotector (no glue). Suggestions?

Yeah, that happens usually on WD after 2-3 Weeks. Had same problem on note8 and s9 later. Today finally I installed it on note10 hope 3rd time is better [emoji847] ...btw I've bought dual pack in just case!

And I can confirm that whitestone is compatible with nillkin nature and Spigen Tough armor.

I highly recommend this one, I've installed it on my note 10 plus and on my daughter's note 10. I put them on close to release date and they still look like brand new. The price is reasonable for having two in a box. They have a weighted cylinder that you put on the fingerprint scanner while curing with the UV light. I can provide footage of how well it works if needed.
I've used Whitestone for a few years now and like this whole process and the results much better.

Has anyone noticed when removing the stock protector that the display looks clearer and a little less warm?

I was unfortunate to have 2 faulty note 10 plus and I removed the stock protector due to a snowy affect they both had

My 3rd note 10 is perfect and the stock protector is a lot better but I'm tempted to peel it of and get a glass one installed but I dont want to if it's not going to make the display clarity any better, I was wondering if anyone had similar experience with the stock protector

Thanks

I kept the pre-installed protector as long as I could. I went with Whitestone. What I did was just used the tray to sit device in, the sticker to prevent glue from getting in speaker, and the little absorbers for the side. Forget about the lowering the protector and pulling the lil tab out to drop it in place. The first time I did that it was a freaking disaster. I just made sure device was level, put glue in center of screen and put glass in place by hand. Pushed out bubbles and it's absolutely flawless. The glass makes the already beautiful device even sexier..lol....what's up Force my friend.
