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

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.

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.

Honestly the screen protector is really good. It feels better than the original screen protector and was fairly simple to install. My only complaint is that the instructions really exaggerate how simple removing the original screen protector cab be. The way it sits under the frame can be really difficult to get to and I could see how it could be easy to damage the inner screen itself during removal. Also the screen protector leaves behind a severe amount of residue. The single alcohol pad that was included in the kit was not nearly enough to remove all the remaining adhesive on the screen. So if you are going to install this yourself buy a high quality microfiber cloth, compressed air, and a flashlight. To remove the inner screen protector I would recommend starting from the middle using a plastic pry tool or a guitar pick if you have. You have to gently pry up til you see a bubble forming. Once you see that bubble forming make sure to turn on the screen to ensure you aren't below the oled screen. Once you confirm you are above the oled work back and forth from left to right to expand the bubble. One you can grab gently start to peel it away while using your free hand to hold the phone in place. Once fully removed use some rubbing alcohol (preferably 90% or higher) and the included micro fiber cloth to remove the old adhesive. Then use your personal micro fiber cloth to clean the screen. Use a flash light directly above the screen while sitting away to ensure dust does not fall onto the screen. Use the compressed air to blow off all the dust and particles and use the included dust remover to get rid of any hard to remove pieces of dust. After ensuing it's fully clear follow the remaining instructions in the video to apply the screen. Make sure to follow it exactly as they do. Including putting pressure on each side while removing the mounting holes. After removing the outer plastic make sure to use the smaller side of the spudger to push out any remaining air bubbles. Then make sure to let it sit open for 15 min for the adhesive to fully stick. Then fold and open your phone a few times to ensure no bubbles have formed. If following these steps exactly you should have a perfectly seated screen protector with no bubbles or dust. I'll attach a photo of mine later to show how I will look when done properly.

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 have bought products from this brand before and i was blown away with how easy it was. My inner screen on my fold 3 is starting to loosen up and so i knew it was time to replace it. This brand again was a no brainer just from my last experience. This comes with a very fantastic installation device, HOWEVER they only give you 4 steps. The final step doesn't include how to separate the cover from the flimsy plastic that it is attached to, so as you go for the final step you have this large piece of film that you have to unattach from the protector. The instruction shows someone folding it and then nothing else. Well, when you try to remove it it's extremely easy to rip the protector itself, which is what happened. I'm sure other people have gotten it right but its far to easy to do what I do and has no clear instruction on the best way to get rid of that part of the film. I went from a screen protector with a bubble to one with a large tear. I spent money for a worse experience. I can't endorse it in anyway because of that.

I took my Fold3 to a local Samsung repair shop to have the original screen protector replaced after using it for just over a year. They did not have the part in stock and said it would take a few weeks to get it. While researching an alternate method to replace the damaged protector (cracked on fold line), I came upon this option. The reviews were mixed as you can see. After reviewing more than a few videos on the product, I decided to give it a try since the majority showed that it worked well. Like some of the reviews (and unlike the online videos) I had more than a few bubbles upon my application; some small, some large. While I was tempted to immediately take the replacement off and use the backup (I ordered two, since some of the reviews indicated major problems on the first attempt) I tried to keep calm and follow the advice of just letting it "rest" overnight. Magically, the vast majority of the bubbles disappeared by morning, leaving just five pinpoint bubbles at various places, but not an impact to any app display. The only time they became apparent was when the phone was locked (with no image) or powered down. As the Swedes would say "lagom" as related to the final result - in other words, not perfect but certainly good enough for most cases/uses. I would attribute the original bubbles to my lack of following the instruction to slowly use the squeegee when applying the film. Once a bubble forms, it's practically impossible to "move" it by reapplying the squeegee to move it from under the film, since the contact material is so sticky. When this screen protector again cracks (and I'm sure it will, over time), I'll be sure to go very slowly when applying the replacement.

Original Review Jan. 2024. 4 stars I have had the Galaxy Fold 3 for almost two years (May 2022) and this is the third inner screen I have had on it. The factory screen was replaced in March 2023. It lasted less than 10 months! Started with a bubble at top in the crease that morphed into full line pull away top to bottom near the crease. I had this replaced by a certified technician because Samsung foots the bill for the first replacement ("we know we don't have a quality product, so here is a freebie"). The replacement one lasted 4 months!!! Same story as the first time, bubble at top, full top to bottom pull away. I put the phone away and used my S22+ for a month because I was so frustrated with the Fold. (FYI, the LCD died on the S22+ which had a total use time of about 12 months which forced me back to the Fold 3. Look it up, it is common on the S21 and S22) I have to admit, after reading forums I questioned the durability of ANY screen protectors and the need to even have one. Many people state that they take it off and run it naked without issue. I paid a lot of money for this phone and don't want to screw it up. Further research and comments led me to this replacement screen. I am always dubious, but for the price (even cheaper now) I figured I would give it a shot. The repair place I took it to first time said another replacement would run around $80 out of pocket. I decided to go for it. Installation was easy as long as you pay attention to detail. Peal the old screen off slowly to not damage the actual phone. Place it in the provided cradle, clean the screen, and follow the directions. There are even "How To" videos online. So, purchased in August of 2023 and it is still holding in January 2024. I do notice that there is some bubbling in each top corner and the bottom near the crease, but given the durability of ANY screen cover I have personal experience with, this is par for the course. I am going to go ahead and purchase a backup for when (not if) this one decides to fail. In short, I don't think any of the screen protectors will outlast the device. This is more the nature of the device design and not the quality of the product. As far as it goes, this one seems better than the one I got from the specialist, and might even hold up longer than the factory. Only time will tell. Update April 2024. 3 stars Shortly after my original review, my self installed protector bubbled from the bottom halfway to the top, and all the way within a couple of days. I had another protector on standby and replaced it around January 21st while also ordering a backup. This cover has bubbled halfway up the crease yesterday (April 15th 2024). That is 3 months of use. Mind you, I don't open the phone everyday. I will be using my backup protector, however I ordered a different brand to use when this one fails. Hoping I get more time out of it. I love my fold 3, but this inner protector is terrible. I am nearing the point of removing altogether and taking my chances. If it quits working, time to get an Ultra. Dropping to 3 stars for extremely poor life expectancy. However, great application method.

Like others on here, my fold 3's original screen protector started peeling away from the center folding part of the screen. I was quite happy with the one that it came with and wanted an equally nice replacement since you buy this phone for the big main screen. I followed the video guide and got this protector installed almost perfect. I missed one piece of dust, but the tools it comes with makes lining everything up very easy. If you take the time to install this properly I would recommend it. I'll update my review if the protector doesn't hold up over time but as of installation I am very happy with the clarity and feel. It is a bit more expensive than the generic ones but for a folding device, I think it is worth it. If it came with 2 film sheets for the price to allow for one reapplication I think it would be perfect but I would still recommend it as is

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.

Bei meinem Fold 3 hat sich leider die originale Folie gelöst. Direkt am "Mittelsteg" bei der Falz. Zuerst ganz oben nur leicht und nach ein paar Tagen dann bis ganz über den ganzen Bildschirm. Das so zu lassen ist nicht zu empfehlen da beim klappen durch die Klebewirkung irgendwann der dünne Bildschirm beschädigt werden könnte. Zumindest konnte ich das nach etwas Recherche herausfinden. Es wird empfohlen die Folie direkt bei Samsung tauschen zu lassen. Klar, wäre auch meine erste Wahl. ABER Smartphone zurücksetzen (Pflicht) und mindestens eine Woche darauf zu verzichten war für mich keine Option. Allerdings die einzige Option die mir von Samsung angeboten wurde. Also...probier ichs halt selbst. Ich habe bereits eine Folie vom gleichen Hersteller auf dem vorderen Display mit dem ich sehr zufrieden bin. Also einfach mal diese bestellt. Kurz gesagt: Überragend. Hat insgesamt keine 10 Minuten gedauert. Es ist alles dabei was man braucht, inklusive Gestell für optimale Ausrichtung. Ich bin genau nach Videoanleitung vorgegangen. Ich habe keinerlei Blasen etc. Wirklich absolut wie original, vielleicht auch besser. Nach ein bisschen rumspielen + mehrmals auf- und zuklappen habe ich keinerlei Einschränkungen feststellen können. Ich habe allerdings den Eindruck, dass diese Folie nicht so heftig Fingerabdrücke anzieht wie die Originale...ihr kennt das sicherlich. Langzeittest steht natürlich noch aus. Bis dato kann ich meine uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung aussprechen! Viel Erfolg beim "retten" eures Fold 3!

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.
