DOME GLASS Whitestone GEN Film Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (2021) Anti-Bubble HD Clear Hard Coated PET Film Screen Guard

So my screen protector that came with the phone started getting bubbles on the crease at the very top and bottom and over the course of a week the bubbles got larger and larger till they went down the entire crease. Knowing there was no going back, I just peeled it off and admired the bare screen and the added clarity. Rocked it nude for a few days as I researched good screen protector replacements on reddit and google. Low and behold this is the one I found that had good reviews. This protector unlike the other cheap junk on Amazon actually comes with a bunch of tools and a jig to basically idiot proof the installation (not idiot proof enough it seems looking at the reviews lol). But I REALLY recommend watching the installation video - either here or on Youtube where it’s a higher resolution video. It took me a few days to muster the courage to install it onto my nude fold 3 inner-screen but I decided to go for it. Loaded up the video, followed the video step by step and occasionally paused and in under 5 minutes I had it installed. I couldn’t believe how good it looked and how precisely it went on (Thanks Whitestone Dome engineering team <3) it looks like a brand-new OEM installed protector. I’ve open and closed it a hundred times and it’s not lifting in the middle or anywhere else. I then ran to my wife like an excited little schoolboy to show her my work (she also has a fold 3) and bragged to friends with folds. This protector seems too good to be true, but it’s not. As long as you follow the video guide step by step and don’t rush steps you’ll be golden. I am SO GLAD I didn’t have to send this into Samsung to do it and been without my phone for weeks. There’s a few tiny bubbles on the left side, but they are the sort that disappear after a day or so (I hope) there’s no debris under them so shouild be fine. Will update this review at some point in the future if it fails or whatever :)

I bought two of these screen covers for a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. I had a hydrogel cover, and this one seemed like a better option. Big mistake. First of all, the plastic system that comes with it to make it easier to put on seemed excellent to me, but not the quality of the cover. Once I cleaned the surface and started to stick the cover on (so far so good), it was time to remove the excess on the edges. It turns out that the cover was not cut well, and I should have used a knife to finish cutting it, I couldn't remove the excess cover even using the plastic placement system. I opened the second package to see if it came with something extra, or if it suddenly had the same fault, and, indeed, it had the same fault. And not only that, but when I went to check if it came off or not, the cover cracked (see photo). So, I simply decided to take out the cover sticked on the phone screen, and that's where everything went wrong. The cover was so well attached that it pulled the screen in the middle, ruining it. Not only does a black line appear down the middle of the big screen (see photo), but the right half of the screen is no longer touch sensitive. Thank you very much for nothing. I do not recommend this product or this brand at all. Rated 1 star because the system does not allows to rate 0 stars.

The OEM inner screen protector for my Z Fold 3 started to peel at the center so I figured it was finally time to try replacing it. Samsung doesn't seem to sell their OEM protectors anywhere unfortunately so Whitestone was the next best thing. I didn't have high hopes since the OEM protector feels so nice and is always installed perfectly and bubble-free (I mean I would hope so for a factory installed protector). And installing dry films just involve lining up the film and praying the bubbles squeegee away right? Not with Whitestone. Out of the box, you get 1 inner screen protector, a standard cleaning kit (microfiber, alcohol wipe, and dust remover), a crazy looking jig, and equally crazy looking squeegee, a screen remover, and an anti-slip pad. This is the part where you stop touching the pieces and open the guide video using the QR code on the back of the box. Seriously. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out, messing up, putting up a 1 star review, and invalidating the developers' hard work. These guys don't mess around. The video instructions are in Korean, but just follow along with what the person is doing and you'll be ok. After installation, I just found a few bubbles on the very edge of the screen that I gently pushed out, no problem. But other than that, it looks and feels OEM. It's actually incredible how much a little creative engineering can eliminate the problem of bubbles stuck in the middle of your screen. And with a Z Fold 3, you have a long way to go to push those bubbles out. For $20, this is a steal. If your OEM protector is starting to peel like mine (I bought mine on release day so it's been around 11 months), just get this. Super easy, and it'll make your phone look and feel brand new again.

Galaxy Z Fold 3. I've used this product no less than 4 times on my Z Fold 3 and twice on my wife's Z Flip 4. They last about 6 to 12 months before they start cracking at the fold. The first couple times I bought them they were about $20, now they're about $12. I'll gladly pay that every 6-12 months for a new screen protector. Don't rush the removal of the old protector and the installation of the new one. Take your time and get under the old protector at the fold (I use tweezers) . Don't damage the screen. Once you get under it, slowly lift up on the protector as you slide the the tweezers down the edge. Once you get enough of the protector off the screen, you can grab it with your fingers and slowly peel it off. Make sure you use the lint remover on your screen after cleaning it. Any lint that gets under the new protector will have to stay there until it's time to replace it again. Go slow when applying the new protector with the jig. I've never had bubbles, so go slow. I highly recommend this product.

Lots of things included to attach the film properly but it still came loose next to the fold after a week's use. I do wish they included two films since the chance of success is so low. I should have taken it to a service center and had it replaced there instead, just slightly more expensive than doing it yourself. At least that one lasts for about a year instead of weeks.

En y allant avec précaution, c'est assez facile à utiliser.J'ai l'impression d'avoir l'écran dépliable neuf. A voir dans le temps si la protection ne se décolle pas dans la pliure comme celle d'origine qui n'est pas au niveau de la qualité du téléphone.

Goede screenprotector, voelt ongeveer hetzelfde aan als de originele protector. Monteren met de meegeleverde "jig" was erg makkelijk en zorgt er voor dat hij er perfect recht opzit. Helaas wel een kleine bubbel onder het scherm maar ik vermoed dat dat komt door een stofdeeltje. Ik lees dat veel protectors in het midden bij de vouw loslaten maar dat is bij mij niet het geval gelukkig.

-Doesn't include a front screen protector -Squeegee provided actually leaves marks on the screen protector -Guide tabs do not remove properly, had to cut them off with a blade manually -Giant bubble appears in the fold, which is exactly why I replaced my old protector Product is garbage, I suggest not wasting your money.

This screen protector application, while not perfect, absolutely does a fantastic job of protecting the screen and staying stuck. If you follow the instructions exactly as they’re laid out, you should end up with good adhesion and a long lasting screen protector.
