SpigenNeoFlex Screen Protector Designed for Galaxy S23 Ultra (2023) [2 Pack] - Case Friendly

Ok so first things first, of you have an s23 ultra, you know finding a screen that will not peel on the curves is extremely hard.I cannot speak to other screens, but this one was easy to installWhen reading the instructions, I realized it used the word adhesive, which makes total sense, but I never considered that the protectors had adhesive on them. This got me thinking, alot of clear adhesives cure under uv light. So I installed the protector and waited. The curved edge didn't seem to want to stay down, so I pressed it down and shown a uv light on it. I can't say whether the uv light worked, or I just pressed it down perfectly the second time, but it's been a week and none of the curved edges have come up. This is a way better result then past experiences.As far the protector goes, it feels nice, no screen touch issues or fingerprint issues.

Works and fits perfevtly

I think i am going to give another brand of TP Film a try after I have used the last of these Spigen ones. Purchased when I got my S23 Ultra brand new in January 2024. After researching and reading of all the issues of tempered glass protectors with the fingerprint sensor, I decided to go with a film protector. As a fan of Spigen Cases, i picked up the matching screen protectors assuming they would fit perfectly with them. I am methodical in my application of screen protectors and do not take the phone out of its case once everything is done.Unfortunately these screen protectors have not lived up to my expectation in this regard. With peeling up at the top edge of the screen on every application i have performed. It is very rare for me to go through a box of protectors in a little over a year and have many leftover boxes of unused protectors for my old phones. As these are on the higher end of price for this type of product, you should expect better performance.Protection wise and sensitivity these film protectors work perfectly. I have experienced no issues with the fingerprint sensor or S-Pen usage. If they resolve the screen edge peeling issue, they will get a 5th star.

The idea of a flexible screen cover for the curved screen of the S23 Ultra SOUNDS awesome. But the reality is very different. This product is great if you:Have a clean room (surgical clean, not house clean)Have no air movement whatsoever (no breathing)Have 90% humidity to prevent the solution from evaporatingHave no fingerprintsAndAre completely baldIf that describes your situation, then go for it!Otherwise, you really need to get a different product. The application solution they provide doesn't come with enough volume, so prepare to dilute some class cleaner to use. The material itself is pretty decent, but when you're trying to align the edges, it's just too flexible and makes for horribly curvy edges. They give you a couple extra tiny "dust removal stickers" but my suggestion is that you use them on the exterior surface (the non adhesive side) to help you place the film without leaving fingerprints on the edges.This would have been an easy 5 star if the first film had worked, but my AC was going and dropped some dust as I was applying it and ruined it. And for that want to say 'just use something to get the dust off' can enjoy the process themselves. After getting the second one down I saw the edges were curvy and wouldn't sit down properly so I took it off and went through the whole dang process again (still ended up with crap under it, seems impossible not to). Decided I'd do even more damage if I kept going, so it looks fine, just noticeable specks.The worst part isn't even the dust. It's that the squeegee tool the provide is made out of cardboard. Yeah. The thing you're supposed to push a LIQUID out with... Is cardboard. By the time I got to reapplying the second one, the whole thing was coming apart. Ended up with specks of paper attached to the film around the front camera. That took a while to clean out, but now the adhesive around the camera is a little mucked up.For anyone from Spige, you guys really need to figure out the basics again. I like the case from you guys, but this film and application process really needs some work. Reach out to me if you can, I'd love to help make this better. It's close, but it's a cliff you're trying to get up, not a hill.TL;DR:Don't buy this unless you have a whole lot of patience and perfect application conditions & technique.For everyone else, just get a hard cover, a phone case with one built in, or one from a different company entirely.
