5.0 out of 5 starsGreat alternative to a factory screen cover replacement
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023
Eight months after getting my Galaxy Flip3 5G, I had to have the original screen protector replaced under warranty. Everyone knows it's a crappy design that cracks at the fold. Ten months later, I spent $70 to have a factory screen protector installed on the phone that was now out of warranty. Due to phone hinge wear, the new cover failed by separating from the center of the screen after just a few days. I love the Flip, but was sick of the crappy, stiff, factory screen covers. I had already started looking for a new, non-Flip phone upgrade when I thought about salvaging this phone myself. For $8, I'd try this inexpensive screen cover because it had good reviews, and two covers are included in the package. (It always takes me at least a couple of tries to put these things on.) It has a slick way of lining up the cover on the first try. You MUST follow all of the instructions on the back of the package in tiny print EXACTLY.
After I put the screen cover on, there were plenty of bubbles. Many were larger than the micro-bubbles that they say will disappear after a day or two. I really didn't believe it. I pushed them out as best I could after it was installed, and then I tried to disperse them again after several hours. There were still many bubbles left, but they were smaller. I honestly didn't think they would disappear after a day or two as they promised on the packaging.
When I woke up today and checked the phone, all the bubbles were gone. It turned out to be a perfect installation after all! I did not expect that and really thought I would have to use the extra screen cover in the package for a second try at it. I don't know how long this will last, but for the price and ease of installation, I'll gladly do it again if it wears out. It also saved me the $1200 I was planning on spending on an unnecessary Samsung upgrade. Bottom line - This screen protector looks great and is definitely worth a try.
