Whitestone probably has the best application guide. The only issue with the screen protector, and any screen protector in general, is that it works great for the normal navigation. However, the screen protector will start to chip away of you are using the gesture based navigation.
interesting but my fingerprintsensor does not work anymore after installing the whitestone protector. how can this be possible? I have put the screensensitivity on high and I tried to reinstall my fingerprints, but ist does not work. Any suggestions?
I can say personally Whitestone makes a great screen protector. I've bought 2 for 2 phones and not one issue. I'm buying another for this phone and was just searching here to see if they made one for this model.

You missed some very important stages of the install process including wiping the excess glue from the sides of the phone after you remove it from the tray. You also didn't undeline how important it is to not cover the screen edge in anyway when applying the black tape to all four sides. In fact when you show a close up of the tape over the buttons you can see tape is over the screen edge.
Excellent commentary very clear and consice and an excellent helpful video glad I watched 👍before trying, for the price I was surprised by the lack of information Whitestone supplied, a barely legible pdf 100 🌟star's to you, many thanks.

Installation for this screen protector is so hit or miss. I followed the instructions EXACTLY as printed and watched three different videos and there wasn't enough adhesive that came out of the black tube to reach one of my phones corners (waited the full 80 seconds). This was on a totally flat surface and the adhesive bubble was perfectly centered under the guide when I removed the tab. So I tried to press down to get the adhesive to that corner and it created micro bubbles that are impossible to remove. And I also notice the screen protector moves a lot vertically when on the phone when the adhesive isn't cured. The clear plastic guide has TERRIBLE tolerances and the two triangle guide protrusions to center the screen protector vertically located on the top and bottom of the top guide when the top guide is securely fitted to the bottom guide. These poor tolerances allow the screen protector to go under the triangle tabs and move vertically. I also noticed that the screen protector edges aren't curved enough to properly fit my Note 20 Ultra and are slightly "lifted" from the edges of the phone. Overall I cannot believe I spent $65 on something that his this shoddy of an installation procedure. Almost want to rip it off and throw it away. You always learn that more expensive doesn't always equal better.
Thank you for mentioning how far the edges of the screen protector fit the curve of the screen. Its very difficult to tell from the videos and pictures. I would imagine that this makes the Edge Panels feature more difficult to use?
Bit fiddly to install, but it worked a treat. I had some air bubbles but they were easily squeezed out before the first round of curing, and one corner didn't glue properly, but I'm not too concerned about it because it's only a fraction of a mm that's not glued, and the case covers that part anyway. Turned the touch sensitivity up before I put on the protector because I read that helps, and didn't have any issues with the fingerprint scanner. No need to re-register fingerprints. Overall pretty happy with the product.
how is it holding up? im thinking about getting the pixel 6 pro but the curved screen is the only thing im iffy about bc of tempered glass screen protectors. they usually suck with curved screens.
@@vincegarcia6422 pretty good actually. I dropped my phone pretty bad but only the screen protector cracked, the glass under it was perfectly fine. I also had a piece chip off but that was purely because I didn't glue it down properly when I first put the protector on. I did find over time the fingerprint scanning got a bit finnicky and I had to redo all my fingerprints.
interesting to read as my fingerprintsensor does not work anymore after installing the whitestone protector. how can this be possible? I have put the screensensitivity on high and I tried to reinstall my fingerprints, but ist does not work. Any suggestions?
no matter how expensive the tempered glass is in the end edges are gonna chip anyway. In tempered glass the sides are covered with a black layer which hides part of the screen. whereas with installed screen protectors there's no such problem. I've been using Gadgetshieldz screen protector for few months, i didn't encounter any peeling on the edges or yellowing of the skin.

@@ForeignMoves any issues after reregistering? I just shattered my front screen, $400 to get a replacement so I figured I should prob use the whitedome this time 🤣
I did not make it the first attemot! You said clean the glass with wipes and microfiber cloth and I did but it ruined my 1st glass from smudging it with wipes and cloth. Did I get the correct instruction??
Qs @ 0:40 the Amazon info says it's a "two pack", if so, and as you say there's a spare for use on the same protector of things go wrong... there should be 4 tubes of glue, no? @ 0:54 you explain the need for a flat surface, but @ 0:30 you've already told us to get everything out where we'll be working... Maybe swap these timelines around? @ 1:52 why mention the speaker location to instruct what way round the device is being placed in the tray, when lots of us would know it's got stereo audio devices and you could just tell us to put it in "upright", or, "camera pinhole at the top" etc @ 2:00 where you're putting the adhesive stickers on to avoid glue ingress, would there not be a risk of allowing the protector to sit in to of this if you got it wrong? You might have needed to show a close-up to ensure we're aware of the potential issue. @ 2:42 I can see a huge hair under the bridge, how does dust particles and hair affect the quality? Does the glue swamp it and make invisible as it drops? If a few dust particles or the odd hair is made invisible somehow, then to be reassured in the video would be useful. If it *does* matter for any foreign particles to be absent, then the less time the raw screen is laid bare the better needs to be an essential message to add and reinforce. Suggestion if it matters: pre-assemble the bridge and glue assembly, leave the glue bottle lid to remove until both are attached, or remove that if it's UV that will start the cutting and none will drop out. This could reduce the time the screen is exposed to the dust laden air and avoid any debris from landing on the screen. @ 2:26 could the reason for this "pin" need explained at this point @ 3:12 you're showing the protector being lowered with a tab that seems like it would have just been removed in taking the protective film off, how is this possible please. Or are you holding it the opposite way over and there's an extra tab the other end... Either way, more footage and explanation please. @ 3:15 how is it being ensured the protector doesn't immediately drop, and how is accurate alignment being ensured for when it drops? Some other simpler devices have a rigid frame that ensures it's micro metre accurate. @ 3:35 are you suggesting when the cross-hairs are over the centre of the adhesive bubble being the trigger? If so, maybe show an overhead camera angle too? "When it reaches the highlighted area" or is it when the bubble his the horizontal line? @ 3:38 this all happens very quickly and might need slowing down perhaps. How is the screen released, there's a hefty bang as the while tray thumps into the table, the higher you hold the tray the bigger the impact. For such an engineered frame, the clunky drop seems very low tech no? As the glue runs across the display, if there's a need to avoid touching the top of the screen while the glue is running under the glass, this would be the time to add some audio to encourage resisting this urge? Maybe explain the volume of glue has been engineered to a precise calibration etc. What are the "things that could go wrong", and how can you mitigate? @ 4:10 are you suggesting that the same screen can be used again? The screen in view looks *destroyed* and full of glue, how clean does it need to be? Isn't this the reason for the extra protector? @ 4:16 how is putting the film on the *top* of the protector stopping dust getting on to the *underside*? Or is it going on the underside again, if so, when you're taking the protective film *off*, you could warn/help how to lay this to love side for possible secondary use etc. @ 4:20 you say, "if you are happy with the position of your screen protector"... Does the tray not ensure its 100% assignment? Is there an option to relocate it at this stage? If not, you need guide that it needs to be ripped off at this stage, rather than curing the glue. @ 4:34 it would need to be added that a mains USB adapter is not included and needs to be acquired. Idea: for easier usage, suggest using a power-bank... When guiding to set out all the equipment, maybe mention this then. @ 4:48 can you guide on the reason for completing the curing in 2 stages, and not simply 1 minute 15 for bothn and not needing to remove from the tray. @ 5:27 you say "the front camera is cut out perfectly", but the alignment looks very off-centre , albeit the angle of the video is not straight on, it still seems highly inaccurate. (If a parallax issue, then again, I'd suggest a front-on camera angle. Also a full perimeter look at all the edges to show how accurate it's been bedded in) Any suggestions for improving the air conditions when applying the protector? Some mention when it's high humidity, but bizarre to do in or near the bathroom with the shower on etc! But any optimal tweaks? Would you suggest registering fingerprints *before* or *after*. If other protectors block the fingerprint sensor, this could be a point to mention in this video. Is there a need like every other tempered glass protector I've used, to use the setting to increase touch sensitivity? The box has mention of a blue layer filter, this would suggest some discolouration of the display... How is this not true? How does it not affect the visual look of the display. Is there any after-use repurposing options for the UV lamp? Look forward to seeing your responses.... I've already bought one and although 2 protectors, "only" 2 tubes. Scaffolding is in there, fingers crossed!!!!!
@@solar9896 @Solar no-one saying difficult... This is constructive feedback for _them_ and criticism for the product.... And *zero* replies from them.... Not great interaction, maybe shouldn't've bothered.
With my Note 9 I had to trim back my Otterbox case around the opening where the protector is because it was too small and would cause the screen protector to lift up around the edges. Is that also the case with the Note 20 ?
My favorite screen protector is the Gorilla Glass my N20U came with. I prefer to pay for phone insurance and if my screen cracks it only a $29 USD deductible.
Whitestone is a pain to install but if done correctly it's the best protector you'll ever have. It's really scratch resistant and crystal clear. I first used it for the s10 and loved it. Sadly I cracked that one after hitting something at work so i got a replacement but for the 2nd installation the fingerprint reader wasn't as sensitive and I got annoyed so just replaced with plastic. Most likely because I kinda rushed the installation so it might've been my fault.
@@frankloeters like it doesn't work at all? Did you erase your previous fingerprints and register new ones? You have cure for 15 seconds then press ur finger prints before curing the last time for 60 seconds seconds. It's tedious but it helps the sensor read ur prints a lot faster and easier
interesting but my fingerprintsensor does not work anymore after installing the whitestone protector. how can this be possible? I have put the screensensitivity on high and I tried to reinstall my fingerprints, but ist does not work. Any suggestions?
I Will say that I have used Whitestone's Dome glass for my Phones for the last 5 years,but the glass on this Note 20 ultra, although it looks fantastic, it makes the FingerPrint unlocking of the phone nearly impossible, and that's even with the extra sensitivity turned on!!!,I'm lucky if I can get it to actually work and recognize my print and actually unlock the screen 1 to 2 times out of every 10 try's!,and that really STINKS!!!
Whitestone will NOT work with other cases olther than Samsung official cases due to a partnering. It will not work with otterbox defender case. Use amfilm glass and use a dremel tool to grind out the bottom corners of the front of the case. Do not grind so far as to damage the front of the case. Just grind the plastic to not press on the glass at the bottom. Works perfectly.

No customer support from Whitestone. Once u buy their screens, they forget you . They already have your 💰. Worst customer support I've seen from a company. DO NOT BUY!
@@opemilekanadesunloye351 glad u had support. I did not. THAT is TRUE. U have a customer support number u can give me? Some way to speak to a person there? Plenty others share their grieve of Whitestone . Check out the BBB complaints posted online
@@sincitysteve2009 I can't remember what number I called but they directed me to their website to get a replacement kit. Just pay shipping. I have to use the account I bought the protector on cause they need proof you actually have it.
No it's not installing the UB pro after broke not one but both of my whitestone dome glass screen protectors in the top right corner. Their response to me was that due to their partnership with samsung they were cut out to only fit Samsung phone cases. Garbage if you ask me never had this problem in the past w/ using whitestone dome w/ UB pro on my Samsung phones in the past. Not to mention my $70 was waisted I might as well took that money an flushed it down the toilet because I'll never see it again. An their CS team sucks!
@@aomega9634 I can understand why your so pissed, it's definatley a rip off, for that money it should be compatible with most cases, I tripped the other day whol holding my note 20 ultra and the phone hit the cornerof a metal axle stand screen first, tore the pre installed screen protector, but to my amazement, the screen hasn't got a mark on it, I felt for sure it would have broken, I was still holding it when it hit the metal, so it hit quite hard. Strength of the screen has really impressed me.
@@sparx2391 Ooouch!... yea man these phones are expensive I spent $1577 on mine 512gb 5G. So I don't mind spending an extra $30-$60 on a phone case or $70 on a screen protector as long as they work as attended. But when I'm wasting money on a outcome I've never had an issue in the past w/ then it's a problem. They should have made it clear that is only compatible w/ Samsung cases. Just because they said we are now in a partnership w/ Samsung does not let me now that.
question...what happens to the underlying screen if one wants to remove the whitestone dome? Does it ruin the surface of the original screen or can one easily get all of the glue off?
Easy to fit and good protector. Have used on other phones but not on one which had the finger print sensor underneath the protector. It really affects the sensor, very disappointed.
Can we get a close up of the phone to see where the glass fits the screen? I have an otterbox defender and I'm afraid the whitestone won't be compatible
sorry 2nd attempt failed also wasted 60$. but put my otterbox on and dont see how this wont work with otterbox wish install didnt bomb both tries. but screen protector covers 90% of screen so otter shouldnt get in the way
@@4crazykids267 you already have a great case, just buy a 4 pack of flexible screen protectors on Amazon! And you can still use the fingerprint scanner
@@soliderarmatang5664 as a matter of fact, i went in to a store at the mall, they sold me a tempered glass for my S20+ , i asked several times if it would work with the fingerprint scanner, they guaranteed by putting it themselves, and guess what, it worked, it was a $25 screen protector
Never mind, must be lying. Not as if someone could have a differing experience on the same product. Thank you for putting me straight. I'll go back to trying to load my fingerprint for the next few hours 👍
@@craigscott00 I'm using the Whitestone with my Note 20 Ultra and the ones I loaded into the phone stopped working, so I redid them, and after adding my prints twice for the same thumb, it works every time now.
@@TheJayMane thanks for the constructive advice, tried that but unfortunately no luck. Tried curing it a couple of times also. Probably going to take it off and try another one but put a little pressure over the fingerprint area before curing. Appreciate the reply.
@@craigscott00 I did notice I had to press pretty hard in order to set the new fingerprint, but after that, it was normal pressure on the lock screen. I'm not sure why it's failing for some and not others, but I'm glad I got it to work at least. I would have rocked no screen protector if it didn't cause all the others suck.
I have a whitestone installed on 2 different phones and a friend also installed one. All 3 of us have difficulty getting the fingerprint reader to work reliably. It'll work pretty well during the set up, but once you actually try to use it regularly, you have to press very hard into the screen to get it to read. Almost feels like you might damage the screen with the excess pressure over time. Aside from that, love the screen protector.
Hello! You can remove the glass from your phone up until the UV curing process and you'll also have an extra tube of glue available, which should come with the protector. 😀
@@KParks yeah im pissed dude at work told me its so easy. he had the store do it for him. yeah this thing sucks. the curve did cause it to not spread properly. both attempts in the trash. i should of bought a video game for 60$ instead of this

Whitestone is a pain to install but if done correctly it's the best protector you'll ever have. It's really scratch resistant and crystal clear. I first used it for the s10 and loved it.
Sadly I cracked that one after hitting something at work so i got a replacement but for the 2nd installation the fingerprint reader wasn't as sensitive and I got annoyed so just replaced with plastic. Most likely because I kinda rushed the installation so it might've been my fault.
my fingerprintsensor does not work anymore after installing the whitestone protector
@@frankloeters like it doesn't work at all?
Did you erase your previous fingerprints and register new ones? You have cure for 15 seconds then press ur finger prints before curing the last time for 60 seconds seconds.
It's tedious but it helps the sensor read ur prints a lot faster and easier
Can we get a case compatible video?
Otterbox defender
interesting but my fingerprintsensor does not work anymore after installing the whitestone protector. how can this be possible? I have put the screensensitivity on high and I tried to reinstall my fingerprints, but ist does not work. Any suggestions?
I Will say that I have used Whitestone's Dome glass for my Phones for the last 5 years,but the glass on this Note 20 ultra, although it looks fantastic, it makes the FingerPrint unlocking of the phone nearly impossible, and that's even with the extra sensitivity turned on!!!,I'm lucky if I can get it to actually work and recognize my print and actually unlock the screen 1 to 2 times out of every 10 try's!,and that really STINKS!!!
Whitestone will NOT work with other cases olther than Samsung official cases due to a partnering. It will not work with otterbox defender case. Use amfilm glass and use a dremel tool to grind out the bottom corners of the front of the case. Do not grind so far as to damage the front of the case. Just grind the plastic to not press on the glass at the bottom. Works perfectly.
why not its smaller than the screen?
I have a amazon case works fine
Do fingerprints on screen still work after? Any decrease in sensitivity?
no fingerprint does not work anymoe
Holy cow man.
$40 for 2 protectors that are the best around-awesome deal. Been using these since Galaxy S9
Amazon just had the 2 pack for 29.99, best price I've got these at yet.

@@frankloeters
No idea. Worked for me on both devices, I didn't adjust anything. I didn't use the sensor until after I put it on.
No customer support from Whitestone. Once u buy their screens, they forget you . They already have your 💰. Worst customer support I've seen from a company. DO NOT BUY!
This isn't true. They sent me at least 2 replacement protectors for my note 10+. I just had to pay shipping. Their customer service is pretty good.
@@opemilekanadesunloye351 glad u had support. I did not. THAT is TRUE. U have a customer support number u can give me? Some way to speak to a person there? Plenty others share their grieve of Whitestone . Check out the BBB complaints posted online
@@sincitysteve2009 I can't remember what number I called but they directed me to their website to get a replacement kit. Just pay shipping. I have to use the account I bought the protector on cause they need proof you actually have it.
Is it compatible with the unicorn beetle Pro ?
No it's not installing the UB pro after broke not one but both of my whitestone dome glass screen protectors in the top right corner. Their response to me was that due to their partnership with samsung they were cut out to only fit Samsung phone cases. Garbage if you ask me never had this problem in the past w/ using whitestone dome w/ UB pro on my Samsung phones in the past. Not to mention my $70 was waisted I might as well took that money an flushed it down the toilet because I'll never see it again. An their CS team sucks!
@@aomega9634 I can understand why your so pissed, it's definatley a rip off, for that money it should be compatible with most cases, I tripped the other day whol holding my note 20 ultra and the phone hit the cornerof a metal axle stand screen first, tore the pre installed screen protector, but to my amazement, the screen hasn't got a mark on it, I felt for sure it would have broken, I was still holding it when it hit the metal, so it hit quite hard. Strength of the screen has really impressed me.
@@sparx2391 Ooouch!... yea man these phones are expensive I spent $1577 on mine 512gb 5G. So I don't mind spending an extra $30-$60 on a phone case or $70 on a screen protector as long as they work as attended. But when I'm wasting money on a outcome I've never had an issue in the past w/ then it's a problem. They should have made it clear that is only compatible w/ Samsung cases. Just because they said we are now in a partnership w/ Samsung does not let me now that.
My protectors came cracked and whitestone has not replaced or refunded my money. They want me to pay for a warranty. Not happening
question...what happens to the underlying screen if one wants to remove the whitestone dome? Does it ruin the surface of the original screen or can one easily get all of the glue off?
It comes off quite easily and leaves no residue at all
Use a blow dryer to remove, then wipe screen with those alcohol wipes
Easy to fit and good protector. Have used on other phones but not on one which had the finger print sensor underneath the protector. It really affects the sensor, very disappointed.
Can we get a close up of the phone to see where the glass fits the screen? I have an otterbox defender and I'm afraid the whitestone won't be compatible
i will let you know after my 2nd reinstall first went bad. but i have note20 ans otterbox defender waiting
sorry 2nd attempt failed also wasted 60$. but put my otterbox on and dont see how this wont work with otterbox wish install didnt bomb both tries. but screen protector covers 90% of screen so otter shouldnt get in the way
@@4crazykids267 you already have a great case, just buy a 4 pack of flexible screen protectors on Amazon! And you can still use the fingerprint scanner
@@byrongaray869 I've never once used fingerprint but ill look into it
Can it use for case UAG Monarch carbon?
Yes you can have a UAG case attached with this screen protector :D
@@mobilefun is there stuck when sliding finger from the edge to the center?
May I know is there any way to proof the whitestone dome glass that I've bought is genuine product?
If it is very difficult to install you probably have one that is authentic
Only real way is a) the price, b) where you purchased it from.
I've seen some knock offs that are cheaper in price.
Also one of the ones that my friend brought was actually plastic, and slightly thicker than the Whitestone.
Has to be perfectly flat surface, or all the adhesive water will fall off the side!!
I just went to the floor 🤣😋
I can see dirt particles on the screen even after cleaning😂😂😂
after few weeks the glue at the curves will start to breakdown
That is what I was worried about. Until today I'm hesitating on buying any tempered glass for my note 20. 😳
@@kornflakes6903 then don't, just buy a good case and a flexible screen protector so you can still use the fingerprint scanner as well...
@@byrongaray869 but dude, the glass is wayyyyy smoother than any plastic
@@soliderarmatang5664 as a matter of fact, i went in to a store at the mall, they sold me a tempered glass for my S20+ , i asked several times if it would work with the fingerprint scanner, they guaranteed by putting it themselves, and guess what, it worked, it was a $25 screen protector
I CANT REGISTER MY FINGERPRINTS.
Same here..bummer!
@@CCC0826When I checked tempered glass for Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, its very expensive.
I installed 2 of these and they both delaminated and flaked apart on the edges. I had to remove them total waste of money.
Completely ruins fingerprint recognition. Ask me how I know!
Had no problems with it on my N20U so far....
Never mind, must be lying. Not as if someone could have a differing experience on the same product. Thank you for putting me straight. I'll go back to trying to load my fingerprint for the next few hours 👍
@@craigscott00 I'm using the Whitestone with my Note 20 Ultra and the ones I loaded into the phone stopped working, so I redid them, and after adding my prints twice for the same thumb, it works every time now.
@@TheJayMane thanks for the constructive advice, tried that but unfortunately no luck. Tried curing it a couple of times also. Probably going to take it off and try another one but put a little pressure over the fingerprint area before curing. Appreciate the reply.
@@craigscott00 I did notice I had to press pretty hard in order to set the new fingerprint, but after that, it was normal pressure on the lock screen. I'm not sure why it's failing for some and not others, but I'm glad I got it to work at least. I would have rocked no screen protector if it didn't cause all the others suck.
Why note cure the midhalf of the phone with UV light?
This doesn't leave a smudge looking circle like other glass protectors?
It is clear if done correctly. Best screen protector on the market for any phone.
No need for the smudge since the glass is fully adhered to the screen and not some thin strips around the edges
it sucks did both attempts near perfect and both failed this is not worth it unless you have the store do it
Also it is not fingerprint friendly even though they marketed it that it is.
I've seen videos of people using it no problem
I have a whitestone installed on 2 different phones and a friend also installed one. All 3 of us have difficulty getting the fingerprint reader to work reliably. It'll work pretty well during the set up, but once you actually try to use it regularly, you have to press very hard into the screen to get it to read. Almost feels like you might damage the screen with the excess pressure over time. Aside from that, love the screen protector.
@william wil if samsung would quit using curved screens and go flat like the regular note 20, we wouldn't have to go through all this
@@zergslayer69 I can't even register my fingerprints
@@shyamsunilkarthikeyan568 You have to REALLY firmly press into the screen
5:35 - it looks like the left side of the phone has a crack on it - is that from the screen protector? What happened?
I noticed that too
Pretty sure the protector cracked.
Don’t watch while trying to put the screen protector on your phone. Lol
I put it wrong, can I take it of and set it again?
Hello! You can remove the glass from your phone up until the UV curing process and you'll also have an extra tube of glue available, which should come with the protector. 😀
@@mobilefun i have only one protector, i cant use this protector?
It's all fun and games until someone gets glue in the speaker.. far too complicated for screen protection.. plenty of decent alternatives on Amazon.
I had my note 20 ultra screen protector I bought from Amazon it’s perform well no issues...it’s cheaper than this complicated item!
I found this damn near impossible to install correctly!
yup about to try my 2nd one now first failed miserably hopefully 60$ dont go in trash. but this thing absolutely sucks to install
bombed 2nd attempt yay
@@4crazykids267 this things trash for real. Wish they'd just stop with the damn curved screen crap
@@KParks yeah im pissed dude at work told me its so easy. he had the store do it for him. yeah this thing sucks. the curve did cause it to not spread properly. both attempts in the trash. i should of bought a video game for 60$ instead of this
@@4crazykids267 it's so easy but he didn't do it the store did lol
Too bad the fingerprint sensor doesn't work for shit after application.
Too complicated for a screen protector
What about the liquid getting in the top speaker?
Hello! There is a sticker that is provided with the protector to stop any damage to the speaker.
God damn edge displays. No more samsung.
tf is this complicate shit, just buy the normal plastic screen.
Dude. Why do you assume you can just make a fast paced tutorial like everyone know what to do?
Way too fast paced for people with ADHD. 0/10, thanks for throwing out my 50 bucks.
