DOME GLASSWhitestone GEN Film Screen Protector for Galaxy Z Fold 4 (2022) HD Clear Hard Coated PET Film Screen Guard

I am both impatient and a perfectionist. Two things that don't go together, especially when applying something like a phone screen. I always dread it. I picked this product specifically because of the application technique. This is hard to explain in writing, but I assure you it is clever and works very well.I was utterly dismayed when Samsung informed me that the only solution was to purchase a new phone, and to add insult to injury, they offered a trade-in that was far from 'great'. It's almost comical that they didn't even consider the option of an aftermarket screen protector.The problem is the Samsung Fold devices come with a factory installed screen protector installed on the inside. After some time, this might start to come loose near the hinge, and eventually, it spreads down the entire fold, becoming pretty frustrating to use.I had previously seen destroyed screens by people who removed their inner screen protectors, so I thought the phone was junk.BUT!I decided to give this a try after looking at many options on Amazon. As I said, I chose this because of the application technique. I am just not good at getting things lined up.Now, I have a perfectly applied inner screen protector, bubble-free, dust-free, and perfectly aligned to suit my OCD.

After researching reviews I decided to use the Dome Glass. The process was easy and the installation "Jig" worked great. The Factory protector came of easily as it was already lifting around the top and bottom of the fold. One on the screen looked great, just like new. Here's where it went bad. After several hours and maybe 20 folds the inside screen at the fold failed. I have experienced this before when I first go my Fold 4. Not knowing it already had an inside protector I put another one on, within a day, the screen at the fold failed. Samsung replaced the device and this time no extra protector and within hours literally about 3 hours this screen did the same thing, so I know the screen is delicate. Fast forward to this replacement phone. This device was replaced by Asurion so it is not a new device, but it has worked flawless for the last year. When the screen protector on the inside began to come loose I considered taking it in, but I live 100+ mile round trip from the closest service center. Based on the reviews, how hard could it be. In the end application was easy, the screen broke and maybe it was just mine, but be aware there may be a risk that it can damage the screen.

Review for film screen protector for Z Fold 4. I specifically bought this one to replace the inner screen protector.After having my Z Fold 4 for about 11 months the inner screen protector started to crack slightly down the center. I took it in to an official samsung certified repair shop and paid to have the protector replaced (first 12 months you can get it replaced for free but the store said it would take 1-2 days if i did the warrantee replacement). 2 days later the protector started to peel up severely in the center and only got worse. The shop offered to replace it for free again, but then they recommended that i should just get the whole inner screen replaced (~400$). 3 days later it peeled up again after the 2nd replacement.I ordered 2 of these sets, but the first one I did worked perfect the first time. There are a lot of instructions and steps but it wasn't too complicated, just different than other phone protectors i've installed on my phones.It's only been 1 month but it looks and feels like how it was when I first bought it. I'll update again if i have problems with it, but really happy to have the piece of mind that if it has a problem I can just replace on my own again.

I applied these screen protectors to my renewed Fold 4 that came without one upon receiving them. The application process looks intimidating, but really wasn't bad. The small instruction sheet only includes instructions for the inner screen protector, but there's a QR code for a video demonstration. I DEFINITELY advise moving VERY slowly as you push the paddle across the screen, adhering as you go. Once initially down, take the screen protector backer off the raised pins very carefully and then run the paddle over the screen a few more times, making sure to put a little extra pressure at the edges and don't worry if it looks like it's peeling back up at the edges, because it's probably just the backer (unless it's in the middle of the crease... then you screwed it up and you might as well remove it and buy another). Peel away the backer and the screen protector will be applied. It's super thin and actually difficult to see, but it's there.As for the front screen protector, there are no included instructions, but the video should explain it. The problem I had is that the backer is split in two to allow you to remove one side at a time and keep it aligned. This split leaves a clear line across the applied screen protector that doesn't appear to go away even after removing the top sheet from the protector (yes, there is a top sheet to carefully remove after the application which isn't really obvious).I have not applied the spine protection yet, but I will, even though I'm skeptical that it will remain in good condition for any length of time, being a mor exposed and small surface area to adhere to.I will update my review if I find that the quality is lacking in the near future. I tend to be very careful and gentle with my phones, so if it can't survive me, it won't survive someone who may actually NEED a screen protector.

The screen protector tore when separating the edge guides and leaving jagged edges one one side and a piece missing on the other. When I removed the now ruined film it left dots 9n my screen I could not get off.
