A trick to prevent dust is doing this in your bathroom with hot water running in the tub. The moisture will keep the dust down.
Nice! Thank you for the idea. I've heard this before. It sounds like it may work. Let me know if you have had some success with this method. Is there anyway that you could have to much moisture in the air? Is there a perfect temperature the water should be? Or a certain amount of time before it is going to be too much moisture in the air. Thanks again for sharing this. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile It works for me multiple times in the past, ever since the Note 8. I know this might sound silly but normally I'd just take a shower, doesn't even have to be a warm shower just a regular one. Or 15 mins of running warm water in the tub. After that, no more dust particles! I think as long as you can feel the moisture in the air, you should be good.
@@SteveL11, haha. Nice! Get home from work. Take a shower. Install a screen protector. Perfect. Sounds good. Thank you again for sharing Steve L. 👍👍🙂
This is was way to extra lol I did this in my home easily
@@rubandz8787 This trick is for people who have a lot of dust in their homes. Old carpets or dry environment. The only extra thing here is your comment LOL.
After watching this, I went ahead and ordered the dome glass for my N20U.
Good for you! Please let me know how you like it. 🙂
I just managed to see this video after installing my Whitestone. So far I haven't had any issues. No cracks or pull up. Seems flawless for now
Also I am using the varsity blue otterbox defender case.
This is great to know. Thank you!
Long time user of Whitestone Dome since the Note 8. Some tips I have for you all here …
1. When you apply the glue on the screen, right before you put the UV light on. Take the phone out of the installation guide, and hold it at an angle and let the excess amount of glue run off a bit. The reason, why I do that, is it would be a thinner amount between the screen and the screen protector. Which in turn makes it easier to register your fingerprint … if you even need to. My last couple of times I didn’t need to register as the right amount of excess glue slid off before I used the UV light.
2. You don’t need to spend 70 dollars on whitestone dome quality screen protector. eBay and AliExpress have the same quality screen protectors there with the glue and UV light for $10 or so for 2 shipped. The only difference is, the Ali or eBay ones don’t have the fancy installation guide frame (simply put it on a flat surface). They don’t have the standing UV light lamp … (they have one you have to hold manually above the phone … anyone with partial motor skills can hold that small USB UV lamp). They don’t have the in-depth installation video instruction … (but I’m sure you all can find an installation video).
The personal reason why I went with the other brands than Whitestone dome is the price. Yes, I dropped 1500 for my unlocked Note 20 Ultra 512. That doesn’t mean I am going to be stupid to spend 70 dollars on a screen protector. Knowing I can get the same quality for 10 dollars. Another thing is, just as Mike screwed up his installation on the first go. It happens, even to the best of us. And you are already out of half the inventory of screen protectors you spend 70 on. Also, if for whatever reason, usage, fall cracks … that whitestone dome is gone. 70 dollars down the tube. I went with the eBay one and bought about 10 of them for the price of 1 whitestone package (you can get discounts buying multiples on eBay).
This is my honest opinion/feedback on the matter.
Thank you for your insight, and sharing your experience. ❤️👍🙂
What is "the right amount"? And how will I know I got it
@@bikemivie6219 so I have tons of experience, the best way to describe the right amount. It's when you tilt the phone at an angle and the excess glue runs off underneath the screen protector whilst you still see full coverage for the screen protector.
Once you see that, ensure you are all lined up as Mike did in his video before applying the first set of uv light.
65 for my 1k note 9 was also an investment but i hope you realize that whitestone has a warranty page where they urge you to register your product with proof of reciept when doing so, and theyll send you replacement anytime you need one just as long as you submit visual proof of damage per instance occured
I had ordered the whitestone dome glass, and am waiting for it to arrive. I already have the N20U and the Otter Box defender pro, so this is an immense help!
Thank you for letting me know I could help.
Just want to give you a heads up. Don't bring the glass down quite as far as I did. This way it may fit a little better with the Pro. The pro tends to fit a little tight around the bottom corners of the phone. Hope this helps.
@@SomethingMobile Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to keep that in mind! Glass is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!
Hows the fitting? Already have the otterbox defender pro but still thinking to get whitestone dome because i might mess up the installation
@@lorenzamor7303 I am installing, or attempting to at least, tonight! I will report back how it goes!
I just wanted to add. I got the note 20 ultra, the otterbox defender
case (not the pro), and the amfilm glass screen protector. It works fine
so far with the otterbox defender. Fingerprint scanning works fine even
without turning on high sensitivity. I dont have to press unnaturally
hard for it to scan. Swiping and normal actions are just as natural as
without the screen protector. I bought the amfilm as I dont want blue
light filter, and seeing the problems with whitestone. Hope this helps. I
also used the amfilm glass protector for the camera. I just rather it
be clear instead of black.
I agree. AmFilm does work a bit better. I like the quality of it more as well. Thank you for the helpful comment. 🙂
Zagg actually finally made a great GLASS screen protector for the note 20. It is the glass fusion and fits perfectly. Best of all, the finger print scanner works flawlessly as if nothing was installed at all. Zagg has failed many times in the past when it came to curved phones but they finally got it right.
Noel Mendez, yes! They did it?! Thank goodness. Okay, I’m going to go broke getting all these screen protectors. So thanks for that lol 😂 I’m going to have to pick one up. Glass fusion right?
Noel Mendez, I reread your comment. Yes, you did say it was Glass fusion. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment. It helped so much.
Lol.... Works flawless... But feels like rubber plastic .. saw online reviews on BestBuy and other websites. 1 star reviews for 90%
Its not glass and it bubbles and is garbage
Bro i bought it cause I've always used zagg on my iPhone but the one for the note 20 ultra is literally trash
Hello Mike,
Greetings! I just posted a comment here but something seems to have gone wrong and I don't see it, so I am trying again.
First off, thank you so much for making these excellent videos. They are extremely helpful and you seem to have a very pleasant way of explaining things, making sure that your audience understands the subject matter correctly. You never have unkind words to say to anyone and that's something that I really appreciate.
Coming to the issue at hand, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, yes, a bit late in the game. I guess it is better late than never because I was waiting for the 22 but it seems that the 20 might be the last of its kind, so I just bought one before they disappear completely and become a thing of the past. These are not available anymore, even on the Samsung Canada website (I am in Toronto).
Now that I have the device, I want to make sure that it is protected. I started my research on the best glass screen protector and the best case for it. After watching many videos and reading reviews, I decided on the Otterbox Defender (the Defender Pro is not even available here in Canada) for the case and the White Dome glass screen protector. I was however concerned if they were compatible with each other and then I came across your video. Now that I watched your video, I am not sure about it anymore. I tried looking for the amFilm that you have recommended in the comments but it seems to be out of stock everywhere for me to buy here in Canada. (not even available on amazon.ca)
Hindsight is always 20/20, and since you have done so much research and gone through all the trouble of making sure which protectors are compatible with which cases for the Note 20 Ultra could I ask you for your advice? Much time has also passed since you uploaded this video, you might have learnt other things too, more tips you might have - so what do you think should be my choice for the case and the glass screen protector. I don't want to run into any installation issues and also not have any problems when I am using the phone. Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you much for any help, assistance or advice you might have.
Warmest Regards - Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Yes you are going to love that phone and congrats on getting your hands on one! Let me know which one you prefer, but I really do like using the 60 Hz refresh with the quad HD display. To my eyes it's nicer to have a super sharp display. All right to the task at hand. So since you can't get AM film the way I installed the white stone dome glass and this screen protector install video is the way I recommend doing it. Just remember that when you are installing it this way you're taking a risk on installing it correctly. Mainly because this is not what Whitestone dome intended the install to be. Nonetheless, I do believe you can do it if you take your time. Look up Mowei screen protectors on Amazon for the Note 20 Ultra. If white stone doesn't work out for you. I've never used that brand, but I've had a couple comments here on TH-cam saying it's really good. One of those screen protectors on my S21 Ultra. Pretty soon. I'll be able to comment more on what I think about that brand after the install and initial use. Thank you for the kind words. And I'll keep doing what I can to make good videos. Take care and live blessed. Blessed! Happy holidays to you.
@@SomethingMobile Thank you so much for responding so quickly...you are the BEST!
So, from what you are saying, I gather the ideal would be amFilm with the Defender. I found someone on eBay selling amFilm for the Note 20 Ultra and will try getting that before I go the White Dome altered installation route or Mowei. Will keep you posted. Thanks again and Happy Holiday to you too!
@@anwardawood3315 yeah you're welcome. No problem at all. I'm just happy if I can help really. Okay so I want to be clear. I would make AM film my second choice. If it was me I would do the altered install with Whitestone dome because I want the best glass with the best adhesive. White stone will give you that. AMfilm is good and actually fits better with the natural install if you're using the defender case. If my memory is serving me correct. It's been a while since I've used the Note 20 Ultra with AM film and a defender case. If I'm remembering correctly, the AM film does work with the defender case. Nonetheless, I would go with white stone dome glass. I'm not saying that you should do it, but that's what I would do. This also hinges on the fact that I know I can do the install because I've done it before. I can understand your hesitation. Please do what you feel is best for yourself. Hope this isn't confusing, and good luck to you.
Thank you Mike 🙏
Hi, I gotta say your the 1st screen protector reviewer that i gotta give props too. Your Good! I myself have gotten really good at installing screen protectors. I have gotten every S series and Note since the Note 7/S7.
This Dome Screen Protector is a Great Protector, You Wanted To Know about Another Screen Protector, I PERSONALLY like Skinomi case friendly Clear Screen protector. It's. VERY good protector. I used Dome but any drop/ impact and it cracks... Skinomi don't, Theriot a film but are Very Awesome. Give it a try, Review it PLEASE for your viewers. Thanks again, GREAT VIDEO
Dew_En_ Them_Propper, I really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment. The screen protector you recommend is the same brand I recommend if someone wants a TPU screen protector. Lol. It is so good. Especially for the price. Okay, I’ll do it. I’ll pick some up. I might get the whole body cover. Lol. Thanks again my friend. 🙏🙏
@@SomethingMobile You Know then , I just like Skinomi because I don't have to replace it after my Dome Glass breaks. (Happens To Me A lot) Now My Girlfriend LOVES the Dome Glass Screen Protector, BUT she's a lot easier on her phone than I am. And I might Add That's Exactly what I had to do to get Her Screen Protector to fit in her Otter Box Oro, but I slid it Up a little. Okay Great ! Looking forward to your Review of the Skinomi brand Screen Protectors. Thank You for replying. Have a Great Night.
Thanks again. Yes I will. You have a good night as well. 🙂
Really like these uncut reviews.
Show it as it is. Unlike other reviews where they describe the flaw and not show it happen. It's hard to see how bad or good it is.
Thank you for the nice comment. 🙏❤️
Dude I have that same exact Cayde-6 figurine!! I salute you...guardian
Hey, fellow guardian! 😃Dude, I miss Cayde in D2 so much. Letting him live on through youtube. 👍👍 Thanks for the comment. It's our Destiny to play. 🙃🙂
AMFilm was the first one I bought (came with 2 screen protectors as does the Whitestone). First one went down perfect (no bubbles) but too high and partially obscured the camera. So no good. Second one did exactly the same. Didn't occur at the time, but because with AMFilm you push the phone into the tray from the bottom, logically, there's always a chance it might drop slightly. I guess that's what happened.
So, after spending several days angry at the money I'd wasted, I bought the Whitestone screen protector. First attempt went on perfectly. Before install, I did see a YT vid of how to install. The guy in the vid said, after the first cure (15 seconds top and then 15 secs bottom), press your thumb on the fingerprint sensor for 20 seconds. Then finish the curing process. I don't know if it was luck, I really don't know if it was just luck or that the advice actually works. But after the finally cure, the fingerprint sensor worked perfectly, no need to re-register.
As for cases, I use a Samsung leather case, so no danger of the screen protector lifting when I put the phone in the case.
Hope this helps.
Super good information here. So I have installed the AmFilm twice and both times I had to make do so carefully. The tray seemed too small. The glass didn’t want to pass by the top edge. I had to make sure I got it passed the top of the try. Once I did the install went perfect. It is a better fit than the Whitestone for me. It is slightly smaller top to bottom I think, only so slightly. AmFilm works best for use with the OtterBox Defender and Defender Pro case. This is one reason I say use the AmFilm instead Whitestone. I may need to upload that AmFilm install I did. To help other people install it. Thank you so much for leaving your comment here. Sharing your experience.
@@SomethingMobile I just remebered. In yet another YT vid I watched (after trying to install the AMFilm protector and *before* installing the Whitestone), the guy in the vid said, if the screen protector is slightly misplaced, after the glue has spread and *before* you start the curing process, you can slide the screen protector slightly up or slightly down as necessary.
I don't know how true any of that is as I didn't have to do that. But if the only alternative is to take the screen protector off and start again, it's something to try.
I have a love hate relationship with this white stone screen protector. My first install on my Note 20 Ultra and the fingerprint sensor wouldn't work at all, no matter what I did. My second install I accidentally nudged the phone when the glue was on the screen and it ran all over the side and back of my phone creating a huge mess. My third install (after buying the pack again) the fingerprint sensor only worked about 25% of the time even after reregistering it, so i ended up tearing the protector off in anger one day. I went about 6 months without a screen protector but then finally decided to give it one more try last night and low and behold everything works great, no issues with the install except for a few pin prick sized air bubbles, and my fingerprint sensor works great after reregistering it. Now i guess we'll see if it keeps working a few weeks from now. Also I'm using the Otterbox Symmetry case and it works fine.
That's a roller coaster experience for sure. I love happy endings though. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience @NonLegit Nation 2.
Great tip on wetting your finger, worked better. I do find the finger print sensor more difficult to use with dome glass but it's worth it. I have to say the dome glass is much better on this version vs my note 9 dome glass.
Thank you for letting me know I could help you a bit, and for the information on Whitestone glass 🙂👍.
Thank you for the information. Just installed on a note 20 ultra. Planning on the otterbox defender. I installed the bluestone on my s9+ with the defender and it does lift in the top corner but well worth it. Your tip was perfect thanks for the video. Just an update installed the Otterbox commuter case on the Note20 ultra and with your install recommendations it does touch.
Mark Wathen, you are welcome. I really hope it helps your case fit better. Thank you for letting me know I could help. Take care.
Enjoyed watching your video. I've gone back and forth between the glued on screen protectors vs the film screen protectors. What you had happen is the exact reason I just use film. Not only can your case create air bubbles but the excess glue can leak into your front speakers. Besides I use more than one case on average which creates another compatibility case/screen protector issue. Also the pricing is getting absurd with some of these glued on screen protectors.
My biggest issue with film is like... in the case of the Note 20 Ultra you're putting a piece of plastic on a beautiful glass screen. Plastic scratches easily, it feels wonky, and it just doesn't last. So what you end up with is a plastic screen that's all scratched, dinged, dented, and looks like garbage. In which case was the trade off really worth it? You're now looking at a gorgeous display through a really cruddy window, lol.
I've never had a scratch issue with film screen protectors. Granted I recently started using them about 4 months ago vs the tempered glass. The only problem I've encountered is the "fogginess:" they get sometimes due to finger prints. They also all felt fine and smooth.
@@ChrisJones-cn1ew Might just be an acquired taste, or something. I bought one of those 'hybrid' glasstic protectors, and I removed it a day later with $40 down the drain. Literally after a single day it had multiple fingernail indentations, scratches that were very visible, etc. It did feel pretty nice though. Better for $40 from a company like Zagg, lol.
Film is definitely easier, but yeah... glass is just really nice.
For me it comes down to looks or function. Its so hard to find both. In other words TPU gives better sonic fingerprint sensor function, and glass looks a bit better, but doesn't offer the same functionality of the sensor. It just comes down to what is valued more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts guys. 👍👍
Christopher Jones, you are right about the prices being so high. I do think Whitestone is a bit better in quality than any brand "I" have used. So because of this I recommend them. Using multiple case with the adjustment I made to the screen protector installation process is a video I plan on doing in the future. That is a great idea for a video, because some people what to use cases other than the Defender from Otterbox. Thank you for your thoughts. Really appreciate it. This helps everyone. 🙂
Why did you not use the 4 adhesive tape pieces provided to cover the sides of the phone as called for in the installation manual?
That would be a good idea to use them, but the glue never really goes down that far. To be honest with you. I didn't notice the directions saying that. So thank you for pointing that out. Please let me know how you like using those. 🙂
So we can hire you to install these for us? LOL! :)
DragonzSoul284, not for hire 🤣, but I know you can do this! I’ll be here for moral support. Lol.
I liked and subscribed for Cayde-6... Thanks for the info and for throwing the Hunter in there 👍
Lol thank you. 🙂
So it's February now. Would you still recommend sliding the glass down a bit to work with the defender?
All right so with the regular defender yes. Unless you get the box with an E-Jig in it. I think white stone works really hard to make the jig in a way to allow for a really good installation. The jig also makes it nearly impossible to take the phone out to reposition it. If you have the package of screen protectors without the jig. Then it will be possible. I will have to try it for myself to see if it will work. Please let me know what you decide on doing.
@@SomethingMobile well I just got the n20u and regular defender case. Going to install when it all gets here. I'm a farmer and to be honest beat the crap out of my phone. HAHA. Have a note 8 and defender case with whitestone glass on it. It also did the lifting the glass and breaking it thing. But after 3 white stone glass covers and almost 4 years my n8 gorrilla glass is still completely intact. Otterbox case is broken at the bottom like they all do on a farm.
Thanks for the help. I'll give your tip of sliding it down a go. Might also try and use a diamond bit on either a rotary tool or a drill sharpener to shave down the glass 20 thou or so to give more room. We'll see.
You just sold the Whitestone screen protector. Great job!
Thank you. Are you planning to use this with the defender or defender pro case?
Also, my goal here is only to help those who what to use the one of my favorite cases “Defender Case,” with Whitestone Done glass.
This screen protector does not work with The Defender Pro. I managed to make it work with the regular original defender, but just so. Please purchase with caution. I believe you can do this install. It’s just kinda iffy. I hope all the best to you. Please let me know how the install goes. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Haha having the same problem not much worse but I have a small air gap in the screen after fitting the defender 😅 😉 imma leave it as such though don't want to waste the 2nd screen
I tried to get the video up faster. The phone took too long to get here. Lol. I'm so glad that you still have the second screen protector though. So good to have some backup. 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment Jyo R.
this is upsetting because this was not a problem on the 10+
my issue is the top notification bar and the camera cutout on the whitestone will depress past that notification panel and look weird dipping into the screen like it does on my 10 + if you know what I mean. it can be an eyesore when watching TH-cam with camera facing up
I just put the dome on the defender pro. I'll update how it goes. So far it's good. Only been 20 minutes though.
Thank you @Justin Hurst for taking the time to comment. I hope it's going well.
So far it has been about a day. No bubbles yet. Looks like a hairline between the case and screen protector on top and bottom. First attempt was a no go, failed on the install. I must have gotten lucky on second try but watch me say that and a bubble pop up tomorrow. I was afraid to put it on the belt clip thinking that it might cause the case to flex a smidgen but it's been doing good all night at work.
@@SomethingMobile still no bubbles thankfully. How long did it take before you got a bubble on the top?
On my note 9, I was able to use a dremell to remove enough materials oder to users defender, I imagine same can be done on ultra
@Dapitbulldragon, lol. Good job with that. That's not an easy task pull off. 👍👍. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Good Information. Real world problem and solution. Thanks 😊
Stephen Devore, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. Please know that the Defender case will work with Whitestone, but it is really unlikely to work with The Defender Pro. 👍
I bought a pair of Whitestone Dome screen protectors for my Note 20, having previously used Whitestone screen protectors on my Note 9 and 8's.
After spending an hour familiarizing myself with the new set up and making sure my protector tape on the side's was perfect and the screen was flawlessly clean, I cured the glue and removed the phone from the glass placement jig. The glass had slid up from the bottom, I had no choice but to tear it off and use the second screen protector !
Needless to say, I was very unhappy 🙁!
Two hours after starting the process and two protectors later, the job was accomplished ! It looks perfect.
This will definitely be my last curved screen phone from Samsung. Samsung has gone down hill ever since forcing their curved screen technology on us, taking away replaceable batteries and now (S22) removable memory cards..!
I need a phone for it's function, not it's beauty !
After my Note 20 dies ?
Good bye 👋 Samsung
Thank you for this video. I installed both my whitestone and defender and I love them both. If you find a good protector for the camera please let us know. Thank you!!
Laura Torres, I knew you could do it. Great job! I’ll keep looking for the best way to protect the camera. I’m just super into how amazing the camera looks. It’s such a work of art. I don’t want to cover it, but I feel it needs to be protected a little better for those who are using thin cases. Please let me know if you find any. 🙏 Thank you for leaving a comment/update. 🙂👍👍
I ordered the ez camera glass from Whitestone. Recommended?
Be wary of ones that cover the flash. They tend to do something weird to the picture
When your recording can you reduce the shutter, for the time when you're showing the camera. It's a bit blurry. If you can add more light that would be good. And when you say "see" I don't really see anything if you can bring it closer to camera. Even if you have to jump cut
Reducing shutter any lower than 1/50 makes the the recording choppy. I am ordering more lights and a better lens. I'm using the a6100 kit lens and an iphone camera. I'm too limited right now. More light should help. I will buy another camera and lenses ASAP. Thanks for the feedback 🙂.
@@SomethingMobile it's the iPhone camera that's a a slow shutter speed.
I literally couldn't decide what screen protector should I get as I want a screen protector which is glue free, cz many claimed that they got glue in the above speaker, and they couldn't hear well after the application 😓
Hello everyone👋. Please tell me what are the best features to see in case unboxing and review video.
I want to make video that will bring all the goods for you. Love you guys. 😊
So I'm looking for a screen protector for my Note 20U and came across this video while wondering if the Whitedome would be the only hope of not ruining the fingerprint screen reader feature... And you have me reconsidering. Thinking about possible case called PunkCase Extreme which allegedly doesn't interfere with sensitivity and will see... I am gonna subscribe for one reason and that is the fact that I opened comments to read additional opinions and saw the many replies acknowledging people's comments. Everyone should support someone that cares about their viewers like that.
Glen Dabney thank you for noticing. Sorry I didn’t get the notification that your had left a comment. Ironic really. Anyway, thank you so much for noticing the effort I put into the comments. I really appreciate you. I’ve noticed that all the glass screen protectors really do reduce fingerprint sensor quality. I think maybe AmFilm is the better one to go with this time. Please let me know what you decided on. Thanks again and take care.
I already have the Defender case, but was considering getting this dome glass. You said the case was covering the glass on the bottom? Are you concerned that might induce stress over time and cause cracking?
Or why is the top not touching so much more important than the bottom not touching?
Cody Hanson, Otterbox made the defender to cover more of the bottom than the top. Whitestone didn't consider this when designing their screen protector. Make sense. Ask more questions if needed. Your other question. I'm not worried about the case sitting on the glass. It seems to be just fine. I would rather the case sit on the screen protector. So this way the glass on the phone won't get scratched. Thank you for the question. 🙂👍
Digital Life hmmm....I have a dremmel tool that is perfect for quickly trimming that lip back the very small amount needed. Still trying to decide what case to go with but if I end up with a similar issue, I’ll use my dremmel and record it so you can have an alternative method for your viewers. Thanks for the content
@@josheakins5137, yes! Haha. Send that on over brother. Lol. Love it!
@@josheakins5137 Wouldn't that permanently weaken the glass? I mean I'm no expert obviously, but tempered glass is strong because it's under constant tension. If you dremmel it, then you'd be potentially opening a spot to release that tension right?
@@codyhanson4816 he was suggesting trimming the plastic on the case with a dremmel, not the glass.
I’d like to see the dbrand confirmed with Whitestone
Getting that one for sure. Thank you @Josh Eakins
Worked perfectly together. Thx
You are very welcome. 👍
Couldn't you file the edge of the otterbox to fit the whitestone?
That is totally an option. If you don’t mind filing the case. I don’t see a problem with that at all.
Do you need to do this for the symmetry or commuter as well?
No you do not need to do this to those cases.
Thank you for the great Video. I am going to install WSD with the Otter pro series tomorrow. How far down should I push the glass down?
Thank you and you are welcome. I had trouble getting the pro to work with WSD. The regular defender works fine though. Push the glass down to where it is almost all the way down. I left mine a few millimeters away for the bottom. It’s hard to tell you exact measurements. I didn’t measure it when I had it on. 🙂 You got this.
@@SomethingMobile thank you
Have you tried removing one of these from the phone after they break crack from natural drops. There are tons of bad reviews for this on Amazon with the note 20 saying that once it cracks it shatters into a million pieces that are then stuck to the phone. people say they've had to use razor blades to scrape them off and scratch the actual glass. I really want a screen protector that doesn't have that circle in the middle but I'm so nervous that I'll ruin my phone by putting this on if it ends up cracking eventually
It’s hard for me to give you insight into this due to not having had a screen protector installed more than 6 months at a time. Consider using Whitestone Dome glass screen protector’s. They really are the best I have used. The Note 20 ultra had some bad batches of Whitestone glass made for them. I believe the brand has gotten better, but there is always a chance that something undesirable will happen. All that can be done is prepare for it. Maybe make sure to replace the glass at least once a year, and if the glass cracks from a drop or bump. Replace the screen protector ASAP. Place some stronge adhesive tape on the broken glass screen protector before you try to remove it. This will hold the glass in place. Remove over a trash bin if possible. Hope this helps, and good luck.
What happens if you accidentally get glue on that speaker grill. How do you get that off afterwards?
Hello @Leandro Cero, it will be so difficult to get the adhesive all out. Without having to take the phone apart. That would be it. You would have to take the screen of the phone. To get to the speaker to replace it. This is speculation really. I just can't imagine how to get it out. I think you may just need to send the phone in for a new one or replacement. Thank you for the great question.
Thanks for replying. After writing this comment I got a Q tip, a small needle and some hand sanitizer and removed a layer of glue that was sitting on the speaker grill. I was having issues after installing the screen protector. I couldn't hear people when on a phone call. The call volume was very low and I turned up all the volume settings. I pealed the layer of glue from the speaker grill very carefully and it worked great. I used the hand sanitizer because it contains alcohol and it soften the glue that I accidentally got on the speaker. Then with the needle, I lifted the glue off the speaker. No scratches and no damage whatsoever. I hope this helps if you happen to get this question.
I've done this many times and it seems when the glass is under bottom of the protector it creates enough pressure to crack the frame of the case.
Hello @Tyler Spatafora! Did the glass also have a bubble there at the bottom before it cracked the frame of the case? Just wanted to know how well your install took to the phone screen. Also, did you ask Otterbox for a replacement? The case should not do that unless there is tremendous pressure in that area for an extended period of time. How long did it take for this to happen? Sorry for all the questions. Please don't feel obligated to answer. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Amazing video thank you so much!!!
Thank you!🙂👍👍
I dont think this question has been asked before, Im getting my N20U next weekbut I was wondering how this process would work with a IBlason ares cases I have had the same issue with the case lifting the glass on previous devices and was wondering if it could work like the Defender Case.
Thank you
If you decide to get this screen protector. Make sure you lay the screen protector on the phone with your case on. This will tell you if you can make it work, and what may need to be done to make it work.
@@SomethingMobile Thank you so much for the response I hadn't seen someone reply to one of my comments before Thank you!!I will be doing that once I get my phone and let you know if it worked Thanks!
@@SomethingMobile IT WORKED!!! I followed the same steps you did and it worked Thank you so much for your help!!
Great Channel! Like your serious demeanor.( Can you Please give a list of cases that ARE compatible with the Whitestone dome glass on the Note 20 ultra besides the defender? I had an incident with the Note 10 plus where it physically fit, but any pressure on the corners of the Defender caused the glass to push up and ruin the Perfect install. I currently use the Uag Monarch in Carbon fiber, and a Sopiguard CF skin on the back and cam for abrasion protection. I took your advice and decided against the AM film. The Whitestone 2 pack was on sale on Amazon prime day for 51.00 incl any taxes.
Thank you for the positive review. My intention is always to help, and it is very important To be as accurate as possible. Although, at times I do make mistakes. At this time I feel Amfilm might be the way to go. I am in no way saying that you should return your order of white stone. Whitestone did work for me with the regular defender case after making a few adjustments, but not with the pro. Amfilm work with both, And I didn’t have to take the installation tray off to make it work. Instead of making a big list of what works with white stone. Would you mind telling me what case you are interested in I might be able to tell you if it works or not with white stone. Thank you for the positive review, live like you were blessed and take care.
Oh god.
Why does the tray situate the glass so high on the screen. Had I known this I would had pulled it lower. I did wonder about it when I made the installation.
Too bad that there's only one retailer that delivers inside the EU and they sell the packahe with only one glass. Meaning if my ringke camo case doesn't fit I need to spend another 59€ to get a new installation kit since they don't sell just the glass.
I'll update here when I get my case ifnit fits or if the glass needs to be readjusted.
What really sucks is that there is no list to see the compatibility with different cases and dome glass.
Oh sorry, Samsung original cases should fit BUT they don't protect the phone from drops as well imo. The casings made of hard plastic which cracks if theres cold weather.
You should be just fine. The adjustment I made is only to allow the OtterBox Defender to work with the Whitestone Dome. You did great with your install and should be just fine with most regular fitting case. 🙂
@@SomethingMobile here's to hoping for that, I mean the installation was perfect like the first one on your video :D thanks for the reply, I'll update here tomorrow if ringke camo case fits without readjusting!
Thank you!🙂👍
SO I got the Ringke case just now and boy AM I HAPPY.
The case sits with Dome glass PER-FECT-LY. I'm talking the kind of perfection where the case stops the glass begins. With Note8 there was a gap between the case and glass which was the width of a fingernail. Now with note 20 ultra there is none.
I am so glad that the installation went perfectly because there is no room for error woth the case.
Let's say I'm glad I did the installation before I got the case cause there would had been to much pressure :DD
Exactly how my Whitestone worked on my Note 10 Plus, except it never would register my fingerprint. Biggest waste of money from Whitestone Dome.
Thanks for your comment.
what case and screen protector you had on your note 10 plus
Very good video, but I'm not about to go through all this. I guess I'll avoid glass screen protectors. I have a defender case.
So I found out that zagg invisible shield makes a glass screen protector that might be a good fit for you please take a look at those. They are expensive just like a whitestone dome glass, but without the wet installation. Please look at other reviews to see if it will be a good fit for you. Zagg does offer a very good warrantee program as well.
@@SomethingMobile I'll look into that one. Thanks!
I think you should review Ghostek, VRS, and Spigen cases for the Note 20 Ultra.
🙂👍thank you. Okay, I'll look into all those. I was thinking about picking up some Spigen cases. Thanks again.
@@SomethingMobile
Only because so many tech reviewers are doing Spigen (tough, slim, rugged armor, etc) it'll be great if someone did the others too. The VRS really interests myself with the wallet case and the kickstand case.
Thank you for the heads up. Okay, I'll get to it.
The easiest way to remove this glass use a hair dryer and on the same time start pulling the glass from a corner.
R D, thank you so much for sharing this experience and knowledge with us. For sure I bet it will help someone. 🙂👍❤️
Can I use the new e jig for otterbox defender?
I'm picking one up for the the S21 Ultra, and I'll make a video to see if it will work with the S21 Ultra OtterBox Defender Case.
Hey @digitallife. Have you tested the AM film protector yet? I received my Whitestone today but I think I will just return for a refund. I rely on the sensor too much for logging into accounts and Samsung pay. So far, based on reviews and reddit, the AM film sounds like it may be better and for a lot cheaper. I purchased a Tech21 impact shield... The instructions were horrible and you only get 1. I screwed it up and was livid. Im waiting on a refund (fingers crossed). I also tried LK TPU protectors. I got 3 for $14. Honestly, by far the easiest and most intuitive screen protector installation I've ever done. Sadly... They refuse to stay adhered to the curved edges. As soon as I put any case on, it would start to lift off after awhile. Sad... They felt great and didn't take in too much finger oil. I have AM film and Ringke Dual Wing on order. I hear nothing but glowing reviews of Ringke and they're CHEAP... But they're just PET which means your solely getting scratch, not drop protection from what I understand.I got a Zagg glass fusion plus installed at best buy today while I wait because I'm scared of having a naked screen. The $40 was steep but it's free infinite lifetime replacements and installation so it's peace of mind. I'm going to wait a day or 2 before I place final judgement on it.
I had this big long message type out and accidentally deleted it. Lol. You have been through a lot. I will order the AmFilm. So I can get that review going. The WDG is working well for me. 8 out of 10 times the sensor works. At first it wasn't good. after 5 days it was good. Please test the s-pen on the Zagg.🙂. Thank you for taking the time to check in Gregory. You are beyond awesome my friend.
@@SomethingMobile I will test the Zagg thoroughly. I hate having OCD 😅
😂The otterbox defender is enough protecting.....With the belt clip you’ll never break the screen if you drop it,The belt clip covers that entire screen. I thing having to re register your finger prints every week and the slow down of the finger print itself isn’t worth it.....I never use screen protectors and all of my screens are still flawless a year later....You just gotta take care of your shit.
It comes down to a matter of perspective and preference. The use of a screen protector is how one chooses to take care of their phone. It's also great if you can manage to not ever drop or scratch your screen. You can save yourself some money being super careful with your phone so that is awesome for you. Having kids, and working in construction makes it a must for me to have a screen protector. Thanks for your comment.
your not as rough as me. the edge of the note screen is a problem and micro scratches are a problem
I saw you recommended amFilm for the Defender Pro on the Note 20 Ultra in the comments, so I have a question. I contacted TechMatte to ask if it would work with the Defender Pro and they said it wouldn't be recommended.
Do you still recommend amFilm, specifically for the Pro model or has it not held up over time?
(Or Whitestone if it's more viable, some comments are confusingly contradictory)
I've been going crazy trying to find a real tempered glass screen protector (not Zagg's hybrid plastic) that will fit this damn case without having an abysmal circle staring at me.
OK, so first of all I totally understand how you were feeling. It’s super hard to find the perfect glass screen protector for the note 20 ultra. Especially since the screen protectors aren’t cheap. I installed the a.m. film and put the regular defender on my phone, and it was fine. I’m going to put the defender Pro on my phone and keep it on there for a couple days to let you know the results.
Will that work for you? Is this super time sensitive? I’ll put the Defender Pro on my phone as soon as I get home. It’s got the a.m. film on it right now.
As for getting a recommendation from tech meet. I’m sure it’s difficult for tech mate to recommend the screen protector to someone when they know there’s a chance of failure. What I mean is it could be based on user error or there is such a big variable on how a batch of cases is made from one batch to the other. Does this make sense? TechMate has to be safe and recommend against some thing that has a chance of failure. Along that same line all I can do is tell you my experience with something. So I will put the defender Pro on my phone and let you know the results.
Sorry about any spelling errors. I’m using speech to text.
@@SomethingMobile That would be amazing! Thank you for taking the time to reply and actually test that out for me. It makes sense for TechMatte to take the safe route but a gray-zone "maybe" would've given me more confidence than "not recommended" when it costs $50 to pour liquid glue over my new phone and try.
It's not super time sensitive as I finally found a glass protector without a circle or UV that should arrive in about 2 weeks. I was told it's likely to work with the Pro but I won't know for sure until I get it. It's still a good idea to have a backup plan and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could report back your results for amFilm, at your convenience.
Thanks again for all your time and consideration! Liked for your outstanding effort to find the best glass screen protector for us all and subbed for going above and beyond to reply and help everybody in the comments.
You are very welcome, and it’s my pleasure. These devices we have in our pockets cost lot of money. To me it’s important to protect it. I love sharing what I find. I’m just happy that others here are so willing to help each other as well. It’s so awesome.
As to my results. I’ve had the defender Pro on for the past three hours, and there are absolutely no bubbles on either right or left bottom corner of the screen. I think it’s going to be fine. I’ll keep it on for a few more days just to see if there is any change. 👍
@@SomethingMobile Perfect, that's a relief to hear! Thank you vey much.
@@4Jimm Just wanted to get back with you. I’ve had the Defender pro on the phone for the past three weeks. There is a slight bubble in the bottom right hand corner. There is a chance that if you got a batch of cases with slightly less plastic on the bottom it may work. Nevertheless I do see that bubble.
OMGoodness! I just don't think I can do this!! Are there places that will do this install for you?
You could try taking it to a iPhone repair shop if there is one nearby. Or pay your nephew to do it? 🙃🙂 I think you got this though. You can do it. You might surprise yourself.
@@SomethingMobile LOL!!! You have a lot of faith, fine Sir, LOL!!!! But.....we just made an Amazon order earlier - and - if there is any success it is your.......failure will be all mine, LOL!
Thanks for this video - and - your reply
@@SomethingMobile 😂🤣😄🙃 I have a four year old one and a 16 year old one....money is on the 4 year old, LOL!!!!
You are awesome ❤ new subscriber today!!
No offense bro but you seem like a noob when trying to unlock your phone via fingerprint. You are not supposed to hold it for that long. Seems like you are pressing way too hard. Animation is super slow
Kenny Enriquez, wanted to make sure I got a good read for the vid. No offense taken though. Not to worry. Nothin but love for ya. Kenny. Thanks for taking the time to leave a heads up.
You do need to press a little harder when dome glass is on
Please could you fit domeglass for note 20 ultra in the armadillo tek case please?
I took a look at the case on Amazon. It looks promising, but it looks a lot like a case that I really like called unicorn beatle pro by Supcase. I’m going to put a link in my description of the unicorn Beatle pro Supcase for you if you would like to check it out. It’s going to be an affiliated link, but definitely don’t feel like you need to use that link.
I had a defender and wsd for the note8 and I too faced the same scenario. I was wondering if the side of the glass and how close it is to the case. Because if my case fell the case could flex just enough to lift the defender.
It could touch for sure, but I think that would be true for other cases as well. I think that is to be expected, but I'm thinking if the case fell on the bottom corner it would be fine, because the frame is resting on top of the glass. I pulled the top pretty far down so I really don't think it would touch at the top corner. Not for sure though. Please ask anymore questions. I'm here to help if I can. 👍🙂
What about the side? Is there any gap between the glass and frame? If so how much?
Can anyone advise the OtterBox symmetry and the dome glass? Will it fit or need adjustment?
No need to adjust for fit. They will work together.
Will the glass fit with a UAG Monarch case?
Jarvis G, I'm going to make an educated guess, and say it will, but I'll pick up that case for you to make sure. I had that case for the Note 10 plus and it did fit with the Monarch. Thank you for your question. 🙂👍👍
I should just send you my phone and protector do it for me...lol
@Matt Stieber, lol 😆 you got this!
@@SomethingMobile lol. Might wait to see if the UAG case you said you would get and see if that fits...lol....to much pressure for first install..lol
@@MattStieber, I'm debating on doing a live install like I did for the s20. So that way we can do the install together. So I can answer questions real time. I'll have to buy another set of Whitestone screen protectors, but it would be worth it to me if it would help everyone.
Will whitestone work with spigen tough armor?
itsmemda, hello. Thank you for your question. Hopefully someone can answer that for you here in this awesome community, but I will look into this for you. Thanks again for asking. 🙂👍👍
Yes, the Spigen Tough Armor works with Whitestone Dome Glass.
Any luck with the unicorn beetle cases for 20 note ultra?
Lol. Did I say something about those cases in this video. So sorry I don’t remember. I can say that I think I didn’t get one of these cases though. Thank you for your question.
Hey Kevin I want to give you a heads up. I finally decided to purchase the Supcase unicorn beetle pro For the S 21 ultra. It is one of the most awesome cases I have used. And it works with white stone dome glass. I have yet to use it on the note 20 ultra. But I may pick one up for that as well. Along with you many people have said good things about the brand Supcase. I finally had to take the chance to see what they were all about. I’m glad I did. Thank you for the recommendation.
My last case lasted for about four years, or close to it before completely breaking apart. I say subcase brand is the best case out there, which is why my disappoint to find out that there was no screen protector for the galaxy 20 note ultra. Still holding off from using my new 20 note ultra till this day, or until i can find the perfect screen protector for the unicorn beetle.
But the one I had with my note 20 ultra already had preinstalled screen protector and it’s not like the one u had with a hole on it ? The one I had is actually pretty good quality
Y Chu, I love this comment, and here’s why. I get to help you save your phone. The preinstalled screen protector is not drip protective. Yes, it feels nice but won’t keep your screen from cracking after a fall. I hope this helps. Live like you are blessed and take care.
Ok but how come urs got a hole on it ? Btw my note 20 ultra is not from USA..
I know this is an older video but I just wanted to give my feedback. For the past year I have been trying multiple screen protectors and none of them seem to work with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader of the Note 20 Ultra and my S22 Ultra. One is my work phone, and the other my personal phone. I was always buying very cheap screen protectors on Amazon or at Best Buy and they would basically render the fingerprint readers useless. All because I did not want to spend a lot of money on the whitestone screen protectors. So yesterday I ordered white stone dome screen protectors for both of the phones. The installation is very nerve-wracking. So all I can say to anyone else. DO YOUR RESEARCH before attempting the install. Watch multiple TH-cam videos if you have to. Watch whitestones tutorial. And make sure you understand everything clearly before you start. And most importantly take your time. I did these steps and the whitestone installation went FLAWLESSLY the first time for both phones, No dust bubbles and no air bubbles. This is hands down the best screen protector money can buy. I did not even have to reprogram my fingerprint reader after the install. Because it works flawlessly still through the glass on both my Note 20 Ultra and S22 Ultra. I have zero issues with my fingerprint readers on either phone with this screen protector. It just sucks that it took me this long to buy it. I've been going a year struggling with screen protectors because I didn't want to spend the big money. This screen protector is worth every penny of the $60 Canadian that I spent on each phone. The clarity is unbelievable. Doesn't even look like I have a screen protector on it, it doesn't feel like it either. The best advice I can give anyone attempting to do this. Just take your time. Do your research. And make sure you understand. And you will be okay. it also does not seem to interfere with my case AT ALL. I'm using the spigen line of cases. Then there is no interference whatsoever.
Any chance you can see if this works on other cases such as speck or and other slap on case. My issue has been that same bubbles and spider lines after putting on my case. Which is why I stop buying the Whitestone but maybe this trick might help
Yes, I have the Otterbox Commuter and Symmetry. Those are the easy on and off cases. These work? Also, I am doing a case review soon. Are there any case features you want to see?
@@SomethingMobile I use the speck grip case for the note 20 ultra if you happen to have that one I would really love to see if your trick did the trick 😁
,😬😬😬😬 arg! I thought this would be compatible. I saw another video saying it works TOGETHER with the case
Bike Mi Vie it is compatible. Please watch the second part of this video. I'll show you how to make this screen protector work with the Otterbox Defender case. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile I did. So to verify the glass at the bottom now is seated underneath the bottom lip?
@@SomethingMobile I saw your other comment
So sorry I didn't get the notification telling me you left another comment. It's wired how TH-cam will only notify me sometimes. Anyway, yes the glass is under the lip, and from what I can tell. This only works with the Defender "not" the Defender Pro.
Was so excited to get my Whitestone Dome glass but then opened the box to find BOTH screen protectors shattered! both of them...there is no phone number to contact Whitestone and they have failed to replied to emails. Seems they have an acclaimed product but no customer service quality.
Steve W., go to their website to register your product. After that, start a claim. See if you can send a message instead of having to pay the $10 shipping fee they will ask for. Which is ridiculous, because you didn’t even get to use either of the screen protectors. I’m sorry for your trouble. It’s really so irritating that you have to deal with this. I feel your frustration. I have decided not to recommend this brand anymore.
@@SomethingMobile thanks and will do. They just don't seem to care after they get the $$
@@SomethingMobile maybe add in the description that you don't recommend this? After watching this, I was ready to buy it and do this until I read your comment
Have you tried amfilm ? If so how did it work with a defender pro
MR SLEEPS, haven’t tried it yet. I have both, and will be getting to it soon. If your would like. I’ll install it tonight so I can tell you. Let me know how soon you plan on making a purchase. 👍
@@SomethingMobile hi bought the amfilm screen screen protector. Just waiting on amazon to deliver so I can replace the generic crappy tmobile one . The case im currently using is the Defender pro was just curious if I need a new case or not. Love the defender but if I got to replace then I got to replace
Currently using the defender pro.
InkwellFoto, thank you for sharing. 🙂
Did you get the Defender Pro to work with Whitestone Dome?
@@SomethingMobile after watching your video, I opted not to install the dome glass. I have the URG case coming in and will install it when I get it.
My whitestone have lasted about a week each before chipping at edges
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It helps to know this. Try AmFilm. Their glass seems to be stronger.
@@SomethingMobile I love your extremely thorough and thoughtful videos, my friend. Here we are on November 21, what is the verdict now . . . still Whitestone Dome or are you leaning more towards AmFilm? I ask because you really didn't address what might have been causing Paul's edge chipping problem. Please advise and thanks so much. Do you have opinion about best available, and most reasonable insurance for loss, theft and damage? I've lost them and have been pick--pocketed overseas.
Does it fit with otterbox defender on note 20 ultra? How is phone now after weeks of usage? I will try this weekend when I receive the whitestone dome. It will be my first time to install
Hey thank you for the comment! All right so first thing the screen protector worked well with the new case after I installed it in a way to where it would work with the defender case. What I mean is I had to take the top portion of the installation tray off right before I applied the light during the curing process. I moved the glass just ever so slightly down so it would make room for the top part of the defender case. The regular defender works just fine with this white stone dome glass screen protector. The defender Pro does not work with the Whitestone dome glass screen protector. The bottom portion of the Defender Pro seems to push on the glass a little bit too much in the bottom right hand corner. At first you will not notice any bubbles, but after about a minute or so you will see the pressure from the case start to lift the glass screen protector. I took the Whitestone dome off, and replaced it with a.m. film. The fingerprint sensor works a little bit better using a.m. film. The installation process is a little bit more difficult with AmFilm, but because I am film has better customer service than white stone dome. I would choose AmFilm. Nonetheless, every time I have used white stone dome glass screen protectors. They have worked well for me. I’m just relaying what other customers or comments I’ve had in my Comment section. People have commented on the fact that they received cracked screen protectors, and Whitestone dome wanted to charge them $10 for shipping to send them out a new box of screen protectors. That is not good business practice. Therefore I don’t want to recommend them. Please let me know how your installation goes.
@@SomethingMobile Does this AMfilm fits good on note 20 ultra with otterbox defender case?
Yes. The AmFilm definitely works with the Defender case.
Adding your finger every week is nuts
RarelyAccurate, completely accurate. It’s a pain for sure.
@@SomethingMobile im realizing the under finger detector, which I've found less accurate with no screen protector, just won't work well with a screen protector. The fold, and fold 2 has a side mounted finger print detector that's what the S series and note should have.
RarelyAccurate, totally right. I feel like the in display sensor is a way to say “look what I can do.” Maybe to sell more devises. Don’t get me wrong. I like it. I just would rather have something that works. I’m grateful for the advancement in technology though. Just keep getting better Samsung.
... Putting on a screen protector shouldn't be this difficult. Especially a 50+ dollar one. I already went through a "tempered glass" one and it cracked like a car windshield. I bet those little pieces that get around the plastic cover on the protector will end up scratching the phone glass. I'm, and they're hard to get right now, going to look for a plastic cover preferably without the curved edges because most cases end up chewing up the edges of the screen protector. Besides how many will s-pen etc the edges? I'd love to get a defender case and had one for my Note 8 however I found the case too bulky for even an 8. Bloody curved edge massive over priced cell phones...

Hey LK! Welcome back. Yes, the light comes in the box. It’s the complete set.
@@SomethingMobile that's nice. Man. I love my Tech21 Evo case. I'm still waiting for my UAG case and the Zagg screen protector
@@Kitesurfing_OZ, the evo is so nice. It has a bit of a grippy feel to it right? It's such a nice slim fitting case. How is it at protecting the camera?
Digital Life the camera has the same protection like the lip on the front front for the screen. So very good. And yes, the edges are made of more "tougher" plastic, which is grippy. I'd say it's similar feel to a cars dashboard.
@@Kitesurfing_OZ, awesome Lk! Okay, well I'm going to have to check that one out then. Please let me know if you like UAG plasma more than the EVO. I'm excited for you to get that case. UAG makes some of my favorite cases.
What type of screen on time is everyone getting on their ultra? I'm really disappointed. I'm only averaging 4-5 from 100% to 15%. I won't let it go any lower. This involves brightness at 50% or so and maybe an hour or so of TH-cam and an hour or so of podcasts
With 1080p or 2k? 120hz or 60hz?
Using cell data or wifi? How's the cell signal where you are? I'm getting 7 hours of screen on time. Yesterday went from 100% at 8 am to 11:00 pm and was at 11%. Auto brightness And 120hz at 1080p. Wifi about half the day. Cell signal the other half.
@@SomethingMobile I'm running 120hz adaptive with 1080p. I use wireless 5g half the day and Wi-Fi the other half like you. I don't use adaptive brightness but I keep it below half slightly always. I use always on display clock too. No dark mode yet.
@@SomethingMobile I'm debating if I should try to return/swap it. I'm not sure if they'd let me or what. I want this phone, but I hate realizing I'm getting over 30% less battery than many. And I have the Snapdragon too.
Hey Gregory. You have 14 days for the day of purchase to return. Is it too late for you yet?
i'm a little confused, how does the case sitting on the top of the screen protector cause issues but the case sitting on the bottom of the screen protector does not? Also i had emailed whitestone with a question and i have yet to hear back from them and its been a couple of days now. This makes me nervous because if i need to get in contact with them for a replacement or any other issue i assume i will be running into the same issue with them where i never hear back. Its always crazy to me when companies do not make their customer support one of their #1 priorities especially after seeing how well its worked for other companies like amazon. The last thing i would want if i owned a company is word spreading around on social media that my company ignores customers, seems like that would open the gates for a competitor to swoop right in and take the spotlight. I have had my new ultra phone the otterbox defender case and the whitestone protector sitting on my desk for the last two days now just staring at me in the face. I was waiting to see if issues like this were going to occur before i rushed to put the protector on. i will attempt your method and report back soon. thanks
please share what they say.. i have a defender pro and whitestone.. no note yet though
Thank you for this great question, and comment. Okay, the difference is the top part pushes down on the very top of the glass. It doesn't sit on it like the bottom does. The glass doesn't like to be pushed on the edges. Make sense? I have had two replacements from Whitestone. None due to bad quality glass, but here's what you have to do. To get a replacement make an account on their website. To take a picture of your receipt. Use the receipt on the form you will fill out. They will review it. You will get your decision. They have not declined any of my requests. You will pay $10 for shipping, and get your new screen protectors/protector a few weeks later. Thanks again for your comment.
Congrats on you new phone. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile Thanks for the input, that makes sense i still have yet to hear back from the company. I did in fact register my product with their warranty page as suggested. So far everything is looking ok? do you happen to see any sort of webbing of the glue on the edges of the protector? When you search this whitestone protector on reddit theres a bunch of issues people are having after a short while of having it and installed and apparently trying to receive any sort of response from the company is like hitting the lottery. It was also mentioned that whitestone has all comments on the how-to install of their videos on youtube blocked which seems a bit shady to me. If you know the product you are providing is great and you stand behind your product 100% why not make it well known to future buyers that any issues people are reporting are responded too and handled swiftly and in a professional manor? hopefully i'll have time today to finally install this and i'll report back with my results. good luck all.
@@SomethingMobile installted the screen protector about 2 or 3 days ago using your method where you slightly pull it down a bit, its been working pretty flawless. I have to say i did add one step which may help people avoid the finger print issue. I placed a 200gram weight (scale calibration weights) over the finger print scanner during the cure process which helps limit the amount of glue which drys in that area. I also over cured the screen, i must of ran the light over it for a good 10 minutes non stop only removing the 200g weight for the last few minutes of the cure. my finger print works flawless and the screen protector so far has been holding up. It'ls only been 2 or 3 days so i'll report back if theres any issues but as of right now its all good. thanks for the tip
Why would anyone want a science project screen protector? installation is ridiculous
I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. For me it was, and is. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
@@SomethingMobile personally I wouldn't be willing to take a chance on a brand new phone, seems ifit goes wrong it goes terribly wrong. what if it does get into your speakers etc, is there a way to fix that or you'll need a new screen protector...and phone...
you forgot to use the black tapes to cover the phone's holes.. twice.
Did the video help you at all?
Im to OCD to have glue running down my mobile.
🙂
Tried your trick and still had WAY to much glass at the bottom. This does not work.
What happened when you put the case on? What case did you use?
I used the OtterBox Pro for note 20 ultra
I did like you said and had the bottom image almost to the metal and had way too much glass the bottom of the phone. The case is covering the bottom, It's bubbling at the bottom
I looked all over and could not find any information on any cases that will work with the Whitestone dome glass on that note 20 ultra. I do like the OtterBox but I'm willing to get a different case if I can find one that will work with the Whitestone and is a good case
I spent almost $70 in cluding taxes because you said this would work.
hey,are you okay? I'm a minute into the video and quite concerned actually
Evans Obare, what do you notice that seems like I’m not okay?
?
People still use otterbox cases?!? Lol df?
I thought I wouldn't like Otterbox. Until I tried it. Surprised me. They are nice.
