For a minute I was like, "hey you forgot a piece of lint". Then I realized it was on my phone
😂
Thank you so, so much for your exhaustive hunt for the best screen protector. I watched your other video and am glad I can buy this one.
Happy you finally got the protecter that worked congrats
I have an S20 Ultra, and have this screen protector. I love it !!! A little more money, but its worth every penny !!
Totally agree
Totally agree
I'm surprised you completely ignored the clear plastic bar as well as the 4 black port stickers. It seems you're following an OLD instruction template. Every year Whitestone adds new items and new steps to perfect the process (more even dispersion, less bubbles, better protection to the rest of the phone). Glad it worked out well though.
Edit: sorry lol you mentioned it right at the end.
Thank you. I watched all your videos for the S20+ and bought the Whitestone Dom Glass for my phone.
Does the Blue Light filter feature affect the color? They don't offer a "clear version" - curious if any change is noticeable
Does it work with the uag case?
The 4 long black stickers were to go along the sides of your phone to protect your buttons, speaker grill on bottom, charging port and volume rocker etc, that long plastic piece was supposed to go over your tray and sit on top length ways and there is a circle in the middle as a guide which is to align the glue once the glue reaches the circle you supposed to let the screen protector drop on the phone that is what the extra pieces were for lol. This is an expensive protector Maybe you should of investigated the instructions properly or watched other videos for fitting before you fitted the protector on !!! This is like putting together a flat pack and leaving a few screws out lol. I'd be snapping if I followed your instructions and got glue in the bottom speaker grill or buttons or charging port 🤨🤨🤨
Would a otterbox commuter work with this protector or would it lift it off?
Is it good at playing games? mine still use the original protector from the box. But when i used to play games, some times it's not working smoothly and i have to tap or swipe it twice to follow my order.
that subtle flex with the tesla app at 11:11 👀👀
The flex game was strong in this video, idk what you're talking about with "subtle"
:) LOL
Flex? Telsa is not cool 😂 neither is any other electric car lol
@@nirivsingh3058 bro if you had money, you would understand. Haha.
@@nirivsingh3058 what kind of car do you have? A 1999 sunfire? 🤣
Thank you for sharing. My screenprotector is on my phone thanks to you and it looks fantastic! It works like normal and indeed the fingerprint works flawlessly! Again thanks for this video!
Excellent review video. I've never used anything other than Whitestone Dome Glass. I'm thrilled to see that this is a superior product to all the other screen protectors that you tested in a previous video. Both my 512gb Galaxy S20 Ultra and screen protector are arriving Wednesday. Can not wait!
Maybe the second set of instructions are for the kits that go out to those that are applying this protector to the FE model?
Any issues with the screen protector 5 months later?
I wonder if this will work with rhino shield crash cuards
If I use a Spigen case: 1. Does it fit with the Whitestone without lifting the edges? 2. Is it worth it to invest in a tempered glass protector? Or will just a regular one do, with the case?
I put a whitestone dome glass on my s9+ when i first bought it, its been 3 years and still looks good! Even though it has a crack it still protects. Worth the money in my opinion
That plastic spread bar you didn't use from the beginning is used to make the adhesive spread evenly. You're supposed to put it over the frame and let's its weight evenly press the bubbles and edges out and flat
Great video! (I've ordered one) What case are you using? Thx :)
Been looking for a screen protector and was thinking the Whitestone was a bit expensive, but after watching you installation, and other video comparing protectors I feel much more confident in buying one, wish me luck with the install Thanks for the video. Eamonn UK
How is it now ?
how weirds that, im changing the spigen screen protector to the Whitestone one because of the bubbles where the case lifts it off and we both have tech21 cases
Dude! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS SERIES!!! You saved me so much heartache & SWEARS not to mention MONEY$!!! I am a total beginner for the glass front covers.. & I will be going with this one FO SHO THANKS TO YOU!!! In the past, I have used Tech21 Evo Wallet Cases so the front has been protected... BUT as of NOW, Tech21 doesn't offer a wallet for the S20... so I decided it must be a sign that I give in, & move from function winning over fun & go girly, sparkly, fun, with a case from Case-mate (secretly hoping it is the best of both worlds being that it says it provides a 10ft drop protection - Tech21's I have had have been 12ft))... sooo wondering from your expert stance what your advice would be on the case side? I know Tech 21 is always a WIN but what about Case-mate... have you used that one? or anyone else out there used it & had good drop protection? THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! so happy I found you!!! :)
Your welcome talk, I’m glad my video was able to help you. Helping people like you are the reason I keep doing these videos. As for cases I’ve been using the Ringke fusion x for all my phones and it’s been great. I have even dropped my phone a few times and it’s still in brand new condition. I also use a glass screen protector to protect the from glass. I took a look at tech 21’s website and was shocked at how much the cases cost, $30-$40?? They don’t look much more than a piece of plastic, I would take a look at some of the Ringke cases some of them look just like the tech 21 and they have others for a much cheaper price.
Hi,The 4 pieces the black tape is for cover the sides the you phone
Well, Well done..... Followed your instructions, looks great. In ATT store, they put screen protector and lady was having problems with bubbles. They removed it, refunded me and they tried again with another new one. Tried it for couple days, orange peel look and bubbles everywhere. THey gave my money back since its 50.00. I bought WhiteStone and followed your video. Better than any job rep at ATT did and costed me 10 more dollars and its tempered glass.... Great job on this video...
Thank you David, good to hear that it help. Thank you for your support as well.
I had it on my P30Pro and now on my S20 Ultra - and yes, its definitely worth the money and not really hard to install :)
Is this screen protector compatible with Ringke Cases that you have reviewed earlier? Planning to buy one. Hoping for your response! Thanks.
Yes it is, I actually still have that case on the phone right now.
Hi, can you do a review on the sgfreshidea InvisShield screen protector as well? Thank you very much =)
He has done already. The sgfresh ideas tempered glass is called invisshield tempered glass
That little laugh @ 11:18 is a one of relief! LOL I feel you, after going through so many glass cases!!! Hurray
Thank you for your valuable time and informative instruction on the installation of the Whitestone screen protector. So appreciate your indept easy to understand instructions. 👍
Thanks again

Chino,Ca.
Thank you for your support Megasam
Any good ones at like a 30$ish point 65 is a little much
I know this protector its expensive, but if you have a expensive cellphone you need to invest for the best protection. Thank you so much for the video!!
Gloria, well said! Thank you for your support.
How the prolong usage of the protector with the case? Heard people saying after 12hours being in the case post curing, it start to bubble with the case pushing into the screen by pressing the power button.
I had the same issue with my S10+ last year. Some cases indeed have edges that are too sharp/too close to the actual screen corners and they indeed lift the protector and create air bubbles.
I highly suggest to google "Compatible Whitestone Dome Cases S20 Ultra", there are a lot of reddit posts where people confirm which cases are compatible with the Dome.
I currently have a Spigen Liquid Air Matt Black case and a friend of mine the Spigen Neo Hybrid for the S20 Ultra, both are compatible. :)
Can it be removed if iy is not applird properly?
How is it with a case (long term)? I need a heavier duty case due to my job. I had been reluctant to purchase because I use an otterbox. I'm concerned the case would push the protector and ruin it.
I have a Schnail Titan Case and it is fine with it..
I have an S8+ and have used this with a defender case since 2016 without issues. I just got a warranty replacement phone yesterday due to a hardware issue and put another one of these screen protectors on today and tomorrow will put it back in my defender case. My other phone had 0 screen damage or any damage. I did have itsy bitsy crack on the edge of screen protector. I'd say from 2016 to 2021, it definitely did it's job! Well enough that had it not been for the software not updating, I could have easily used my phone as a trade in.
I watched your other screen protector reviews and looks like this is a case where you get what you pay for. I guess I'll be ordering one of these. It's expensive but looking at the price of the phone it's protecting an investment.
Thx man !
Hey man do you still use the same phone? How long do these protectors hold up for? Thinking about getting one as my phone screen just got repaired from a particularly bad drop. Don't wanna repeat that!
I've had one on my S8+ since 2016 till now without problems, or changing it.
This is an incredible product, I have it on all my phones. Thank you for the great tutorial video! I only wish Whitedome's written instructions were a little clearer. Like you, I could not figure out why they had to include this odd notice on ultrasonic fingerprint reader screens...
After a couple of months, does the adhesive loosen thus creating air bubbles underneath the screen protector? I am asking because all the other brands that use this type of adhesive, do not last more than 2 months on my devices, I've never tried this brand before
@@mariuspoparascu1822 not in my experience.
No I had one on my note 9 for a year before I changed it. And I only changed it because I messed up the first install and had a corner that was coming loose , but that was my fault.
It was between this and the amfilm ultra version of this style of protector for my s20 ultra. Hoping installing it goes smoothly.
Hello,
which case is compatible with the Whitestone dome glass for the Galaxy S20 Plus.
Thanks for the great video.
Greetings from Bavaria / hair
Hi Oliver, I know that Ringke cases are compatible and it should be with most other cases as well.
I'm very surprised the fingerprint reader works. The last test I saw of glass screen protectors, none of them really worked on the S20.
I have also noticed that many of the other tempered glass protectors, both glue on and press on, suck compared to this brand.
I keep the touch sensitivity off and the fingerprint reader still works
It is because of the adhesive and the UV curing process
Great video I had a screen protector put on at the store When I bought it And then the next day I bought this product I have been very nervous On putting it on It's still in the box
You should have 2 screens that come in the box in case 1 doesn’t come out right. It’s not horribly hard, I know you can do it. You won’t get anywhere if you don’t try. You will love it!
They will also replace them if you screw it up lol
Does it have a circle thump scanner visible? The glass protector i have you can see the circle which bugs me
No
Great install, does the glue go over where the front camera is ? I wouldn't want the front camera to be smudged.
No it has a cutout and no adhesive touches it
Why so tiny glass what happen with domeglass
I just pre-ordered the note 20 ultra. Debating on whether or not to get a screen protector.. i had a WSD on my Note 9 but they bubbled on the edges after a few weeks. Are they still having those issues?
Just wait, I’m doing a video for the note 20 ultra where I’m testing 14 different screen protectors. There is one that is just like the wsd but cheaper.
Ugh, guess I'm spending 49.99 (on sale as of now) on a screen protector... I'm so cheap😜 but after watching this and reading the comments this seems to be the best protector out there 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Get the egv brand. Half the price and just as good.
Will this come off ehole cleaning your phone with soap/water, alcohol or disinfectant wipes?
No you should be fine as long as you don’t get anything caught on the edges that would lift it up.
Doesn't seem like enough glue in the pot for me
Does that kit comes with the uv light?
Yes
Has anyone successfully had a replacement sent to them after it has cracked? Reading the warranty on the website it appears they will do what they can not to replace it based on the verbiage being used.
It would want to be at that price wow
You forgot to use that long clear plastic piece.
dont forget to film an up close shot of the edges and also cover the up close shots of finger prints on the screen but thanks for putting out these videos
was also missing those close up shots
Are you able to remove this from the phone once its installed, with out damage?
You can remove it without damage to the phone, but the screen protector is sacrificed in the process. It shatters into a billion pieces due to the adhesion process. I have one on my Note 9 and it's been flawless for over 2 years. I replaced it early on because if a couple air bubbles due to improper installation, but it had no residue left on the phone which is awesome!
They are very expensive but well worth the investment, so long as you install them correctly.
It is possible to lift the protector off without it shattering, I’ve done it a few times. You just need patience and work it up carefully.
@@HighTechCheck not after 2 years
Does the adhesive not destroy the phone . I mean when you remove the screen protector from the phone does the adhisive not stay on the screen
surprisingly it is not
I have this product for my Samsung Note 10 Plus. I love it, the best product
I have sumsung note 10+ too but everyone says tempered screen is bad for fingerprint is it true?
@@JaydenChenli no its not true
It is worth the money based on my experience. The TRex glass also good and a little cheaper but whitestone dome is the best. I use it for my iphone for 3 years, my phone fall many times, no crack no scratch nothing. Still like new until now. I ordered one for my S21 Ultra as well.
I bought the egv brand of this same type of screen protector. And I am so impressed!! I will never use another type of tempered glass. The brand I bought was only 20$ and it comes with all the same stuff as this brand. But half the price.
Is it really good? And is it the same installation process?
I saw some videos regarding the installation but none after a period of
time... my undestanding is it is glass, the glass of the phone can
expand or retract... what will happen with the protective galss... does
it will begin to crack on the edges ?
It may lift on the edge but I have not had that happen on my phone yet.
After you cure the top half first, you wanna press your thumb down hard to thin the glue on the senor while doing this you cure the bottom half, after remove your thumb and once again cure the bottom half.
I cant seem to find these in amazon anymore. Do you have the creator direct contact?
Found it www.whitestonedome.com/cart
Does this have the disgusting hole cut out for the fingerprint?
My question is. If the screen protector get scratches and broken. Can you take off the screen protector and the enhesive
Yes, it comes off with little effort
Just watched this video. Sadly they are unavailable which is truly sad for me. I'd love to give one a try.
Did you try it with a case ? Does it push the edges ? A "1 month after" video would be great ! Thanks for the video
So far so good I have a case on it right now the Ringke fusion x and the edges are holding so far. I’ve had the case on since I made this video.
@@HighTechCheck thanks for your feedback!
@@HighTechCheck It has been a year. How did it hold up?
I would've liked to see you test your other finger since I thought there was some controversy about the phone reading the screen protector as your fingerprint.
how do you remove it?just wondering
You can just carefully lift it off the phone, not hard at all.
ok thank you ima order one now
Whitestone is the BEST protector made. I have had one on every phone I have owned. Not one of them has ever had a scratch. Normally they tell you to turn the sensitivity up. Did they give you a second screen protector ? They used to.
Can the screen protector be removed?
yea
The only thing that worries me is what if you need to replace it? Will there be any residue that won't be able to come off?
No residue, all you need to do is wipe off the screen with some alcohol when you pull off the old screen protector and then put on the new one.
@@HighTechCheck great, cause I just spent 50 dollars one one lol
Awesome! My wife still has the original one on her phone. Hopefully you will never have to replace it.
INFORMATIVE AND ALSO I AM THE 1ST....✌✌✌✌
meehhh. I got a Nillkin on my A71, compared it to a friend's S9 with whitestone. Not really much of a difference, I can even say that my A71s color is more vibrant. My $6.00 TG is quite the same as a $45 TG.
I have an s20 and can't get a screen protector that works with my fingerprint. On my 2rd one with no joy
This one does. Got an s20 ultra
Try amFilm elastic skin. I have an s20 plus and the fingerprint reader works perfect.
Holy crap. Its expensive. I think I'll go with the spigen one 😂
been reading awful things about the customer service and their 'warrenty' that include a high cost postage for the buyer....I am very wary despite this initially great review. anyone know how well it lasts?..
No problem with mine so far, I have also used it on my galaxy s10 without issue.
Where can I buy it???
Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector
amzn.to/33DWeTg
the only bad reviews ive seen are people complaining about the installation process, and i cant help but feel most people are just too impatient to take the 10 minutes to do it right. watching you do it, and hearing your satisfaction with the product after 2 EDITED hours of screen protectors made me confident enough to purchase, after my stock screen protector peeled up. Hoping it turns out as well as it seemed to here
How well has the protector been working out for you?
@@HighTechCheck I've been really liking it, didn't even interfere with fingerprints or touch accuracy at all. I got one tiny air bubble but it's only noticeable on an all white screen, and I'm pretty sure I could have been more careful with it. WAY prefer this over any other film protector
I had 2 of these on my s10. First one, fingerprint scanner worked like 20% of the time then the 2nd one worked about 60%. Pissed me off so I just put on a film protector. Would rather deal with some bubbles and a scanner that works 90% of the time.
Check out apiker. Best non-glass screen protectors I've used.
@@bnt072891 I used the same finger print 4 times and had the sensitivity increased, still bad
WARNING, I installed it and it does work, but one mistake that I did while installing, is that the glue managed to slide below the two arrows, with the result that a(n ever so small) part of the upper screen is not properly attached to the phone....
-Should have read the instructions before installing, as the manual told me to....;- )
Have to do a review on the amFilm Ultra Glass. IMHO it performs better than Whitestone at almost half the cost. It can save your viewers a lot of $ for people that cannot afford the Uber expensive Whitestone.
Good vid except for using the wrong directions.
Was just gonna say the same thing
cant seem to find it for sale on amazon all i can see if the plastic variant

Not sure why this link comes up as $49 if you search it yourself it should come up as $39
I tried both and the Whitestone was better for me and my wife's phone. Glad the Amfilm worked for you.
You can use if you not stay in a hot climate! My screen protector started to loosen after 2 weeks in Thailand! And started to looks so bad on my note 10+...
I live in Arizona where it's gets 118 degrees and have had one of these on my S8+ since 2016. It's now 2021 and I've had no problems. Heat hasn't effected it.
Why they just don't have the bridge, which you put the solution in, fixed in the middle of the phone to start with it. Seems like a completely unnecessary step and risk a mistake.
how did the protector hold up after a while with the case on it? ive been hearing after a week or two the case pushes or breaks the protector
So far it’s still flawless, the edges have not pushed up and there is no discoloring.
Thanks for the video. You forgot the long plastic piece that should have placed pressure on the protector. That was the reason you had a bubble in the center.
I installed it. It is protecting the display like you placed a nuclear shield on it!!! BUT, the fingerprint reader is 90% a miss all the time. It requires placing the finger on the reader's location a few times, pressing HARD on the glass (even in your video we can see it), and takes about 2 seconds of not moving the finger before it reads it, when it does! I hate it.
Edit: I registered my thumbs twice (as two fingers of the right thumb, and two fingers of the left thumb), I turned the Touch Sensitivity feature ON... Nothing. This is insane.
Is there a way to safely and cleanly remove this piece of crap off the phone? I cannot recommend it for anyone who needs quick access to the phone via the fingerprint reader.
same issue with me end up with Ringke screen protector not glass but fingerprint with 99% accuracy
You missed one key step. After the first curing process, you need to press firmly with your thumb on the protector where the fingerprint scanner is located. If you do so, you won't have any problems with the phone recognizing your fingerprints, as long as you enable the touch sensitivity feature.
@@Xavi98Xavi have you had any problems with the finger print scanner?
Can someone explain why UV light is necessary ?
It hardens the adhesive so the screen sticks to the phone.
@@HighTechCheck thank you very much mate...appreciate you hardwork 🥰
I wonder, have there been any cracks. Some people have been reporting cracks.
Mine is still flawless, no cracks or lifting
What's up with the bad quality?
TH-cam has to finish processing the video then it goes to 4K
Why would such an expensive protector have that glass cutout ruining it?? It leave the camera far less protector and creates a little area for dust to build up
You forgot the clear bar that goes on top
Glad I'm not the only one that picked that up and he forgot to put 4 long stickers around the phone to cover ports, buttons and sheathe grill on the bottom lol
Does it come off?
Yes, you can carefully pull it up off the screen if you want to remove it.
You got the best phone, best screen protector, but not the best case. Check out the Schnail. It redirects the bottom speaker to fire forwards and it's got Mil Std drop rating.
Had one installed. Had some cracks on the corners after a few months. Got worse after that, and had to remove it. The only thing special about these things are the glue they use. I tried other, cheaper brands since then, and the whitestone dome glass stays "sticky" so to say, while glue on cheaper products turned solid. This means that low pressure from the sides can lift up the corners on the cheaper ones, and they won't stay back down. Whitestone dome glass on the other hand, stays softer. Upside: Sides don't peel. Down sides: small impact on corners breaks the class, as the glue underneath offers no support (And no I didn't throw my phone across the room, cracked one of the corners while accidentally tapping the a corner against a tooth!) Considering that, and the fact that my UV light has a terrible quality cable that has a break in it after one use, makes me say that the whitestone dome glass is INCREDIBLY overpriced!! If I could buy an extra glass and some glue for €10, and the USB cable for the light was a bit better, I would have highly recommended this product.... but I won't be buying another at €45, to buy an entire kit, that I already own, for just another couple of months of screen protection. It's the best option out there.. it's just WAY overpriced.
Me buys withstone dome glass starts cracking on it own after a week without dropping it.
Mine is still flawless, I’d get a replacement from Whitestone

@@vladimirlenin9749 ok. Yeah I thought you'd have to do that. Thanks a lot
Hi, thanks for sharing, anyway, I bought it (at a very high price), and was a bit disappointed that there were only one glass, and after a quick google, it appear as if there is no option in terms of buying extra glass, can You confirm thát....?
-Initially I was thinking that "okay, there's all kinds of remedies in the package, and surely I can buy extra glasses at a cheaper pricepoint", but I'm not so sure about thát....???
There is no option to just buy the glass from Whitestone dome but the only packaging I can see from Amazon are two packs so you should have gotten two pieces of glass if it says a two pack on the front of the box.
@@HighTechCheck only one here, I was a bit too quick to buy it...
Please, suggest it if You talk to them....
They sell a single glass a a 2 pack. If you order from Amazon you have to be careful as it doesn't always tell you. But if you only got one and mess up the install . They will send you a replacement. There customer service is top notch!!
Try the egv in Amazon you get 2 glass screen protectors that you install basically the same way as this Whitestone and only costs $25.00 way cheaper than $70
And it comes with a lifetime warranty if you go through 2 of them whether they get damaged or dust on it they will send you a new one free
Whitestone will send you one if you damage it but will cost 12 bucks
It is nice !!!
Looks great but its very expensive, currently im using amFilm elastiskin, works great with scanner, feels and looks great, zero bubbles, self heals scratches, non expensive, fits perfectly with my spigen tough armour case, its not glass but it works just as good, second purchase, first one was for s10+, it lasted for little over a year, package includes 2 screen protectors, bought on amazon.
I've had one on my S8+ since 2016. Never had to replace or have a problem. When you have paid over $1,000 for a phone, paying another 50 to keep it safe is well worth it. While you keep using another brand that you have to replace every year I've never had to replace mine
@@Deidre_H you have a solid point, but the ones I use cost me 5 dllrs for 2, and they work the same way as the expensive one, so I really dont mind spending 5 dllrs every 2 years( they give you a pair of screen pr), in fact I have only spent 10 dllrs for the same period of time you spent 50.
used two glues on my s20 ultra, no prob looks as if my phone has no protector on it
You mean you used 2 tubes of glue??
Mark Cossman that’s what he said
