Disclaimer: No, I don't work for QiMai or the seller on Amazon. I'm just a guy who has been struggling with screen protectors since the S8+, and finally found one I'm 100% satisfied with. So I figured I'd share.
I was using the Cubevit PET screen protector and loved it, but it was a fingerprint magnet, and like all PET screen protectors got pretty scratched up.*Otherwise it's a FANTASTIC screen protector and only $8 for a 3-pack.
I had put a QiMai TPU screen protector on my wife's S9+, and you could barely tell it was there. I have to occasionally pick up her phone and look really close to make sure it's still on there. But since it was TPU I worried about it having that rubbery feel, and the SPen leaving marks.*
Since the QiMai was only $10 for a 2-pack, I decided to give it a try on my Note 9 anyway, and seriously, it's the best screen protector out there. It may not offer the drop protection of a Whitestone Dome, but as far as clarity and feel, there's no equal.*
It is crystal clear. Matter of fact it covers the FF camera and all the sensors, but it causes no distortion or interference. And it's almost as slick as the factory glass. It has no rubbery drag at all. And fingerprints wipe away very easy. And no indents from the SPen, unless you really dig in. Even then they disappear quickly.*
Ringke makes a similar screen protector, as does a few other companies, but I haven't tried them. Here is the link to the QiMai if you all want to try it.*
Galaxy Note 9 Screen Protector, 2-Pack QiMai Case Friendly Easy Install Screen Cover(Not Glass)[New Version]*https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2ZW9PG..._q.BfCbVBPDM3J
So far no interference with my cases. I use a Ringke Air, a Speck Grip, and a couple minimal generic TPU cases. So nothing that really comes far over the edge of the screen. I'll be ordering some Goosperry cases soon, but I don't see where they would interfere either.
Installation is easy, but it's also easy to get lint under it. It took me four tries. The first one was 95% perfect except for a bubble from lint in the top right corner. The second one got a bubble for an unknown reason that wouldnt go away. Small bubbles disappear after 24 hours. But this one wouldn't. Otherwise it was almost perfect.
I reached out to the seller and he sent me a free replacement 2-pack. I screwed up the first one, but finally the last one went on perfectly.
I do think I'll try the Ringke version of this screen protector next time, simply because it was a built in lint remover that picks up all lint and dust as you install automatically. But I've got no experience with the Ringke to know if it's as smooth as this one.
If you want a tempered glass screen protector, then go for the Whitestone Dome. But if you like thin, minimal screen protectors that you can't tell is there, then I highly recommend this one.
UPDATE: I accidentally tore my QiMai screen protector, so I used the opportunity to try the Ringke Dual. It's the same exact material and fit as the QiMai. It just as clear, but is slightly easier to install. It seems to be more oleophobic, yet not quote as slick as the QiMai. They are both super smooth to the touch, but the Ringke seems to have just slightly more drag to it.
But I can say I like both screen protectors and you can't go wrong with either one.
