ArmorSuit 2 Pack MilitaryShield Screen Protector Designed for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G (6.8 Inch, 2023 Release) Case Friendly HD Clear Film - Made in USA

I bought this screen protector in Jan 2022, it is now Nov 2024 and it is hands down the best investment you can buy to protect your phone. I work using my phone and my job is physical and I constantly drop my phone on surfaces that should have destroyed it. I bought this because I had completely broken the screen on a previous phone and ended up having to wait fir my phone insurance to get sorted out to get a new phone. I could not wait since i use my phone to work. I ended up buying a crap ph9ne to get my by til i could get a new phone. I mention this antidote because once I got a new good phone I was determined I'd never deal with that again. I can't afford to go without a phone even for a day. I researched screen protectors and cases and came across this. I figured I'd get it since it wasn't expensive, I could replace it if I didn't like it. But after the first major drop that should have done some sort of damage and my phone was fine, I was sold. And since then I've dropped my phone probably hundreds of times in the past almost 3 years. I've dropped it on cement, large rocks, gravel from on top of step ladders, my phone has bounced when dropped. And I constantly drop it and this screen protector has protected it every time with no damage. If it get any damage you can rub it out like nothing ever happened. It can take a bit to rub some stuff out but it always does. I've got a Spigen case which it the other life saver that makes my phone indestructible! I also got this brand screen protectors for my watch and that works just as amazing! I'm constantly hitting my watch on hard surfaces, every once in a while it ends up with a scratch or bubble I just rub on it a while and it comes out. I've reinstalled the protector on my watch once or twice. Just peel it off re-wet it with the solution that comes with it (keep that solution and the scraper that comes with it for future use if needed) and scrap it again...good to go. PS- that scraper tool came in handy recently for me, I had to install windows clings for a job I was doing and I used that scraper tool to smooth them out. Using these screen protectors taught me how to install the clings. You follow the same steps installing window clings as you do for installing this screen protector. It's a thing screen with a slight rubbery feel which was different when I first started using it but after the first few hours I got accustomed to it. It's easy to install, watch the video in the instructions it's helpful. It can be removed and reapplied as much as you want, which for me was a big heal because im terrible at lining things up. It's easy to get out the bubbles. My work gets my phone dirty so I love that I can use disinfecting wipes on it no problem. I've been recommending this brand of screen protectors to everyone, even strangers. If you aren't sure about it try it, what do you have to lose for a $10 investment. If you don't like it after you try it get something else. But you won't be sorry, I swear! This screen protector and a good case you'll be set. I love the Spigen Tough Armor case which I've had the same amount of time. It's in good shape, one tiny spot broke off after a hard drop. It's a hybrid case so it was just the plastic part above the volume buttons on the side which doesn't effect anything. It's an amazing case! My phone can bounce like a ball and it's perfectly fine :) I spent about $35 for this screen protector and the Spigen case and it's hands down the best investment I've ever made.

Update 1 year later: this is hands-down way better than the Samsung one. I finally changed my screen protector because the film slid a little and/or stretched and started blocking my front camera. When I removed the film, I was surprised to find no scratches on my phone. The screen protector itself had no scratches or tears despite being on my phone for over a year! Applying the new one was very easy and forgiving, as long as you don't run out of that spray bottle. They should provide more of it or a way to buy more. A speck of dust got under it during the install. I was able to peel it off spray the area, and remove the dust with my finger. And it looks perfect now! I can think of no other screen protector that is that forgiving during installation, protects your phone, and won't tear or crack. Here's a tip I discovered by accident: after the protector is installed, do something that heats up your phone, like play a video game or do a software update. It will help smooth out any remaining bubbles. I will be buying these for every phone I get. I highly recommend this brand. The tactile feel of the Samsung screen protector is superior. But it is not worth the hassle and cost of changing screen protectors every few months. I changed my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. Original review: Samsung makes a similar TPU film that I would recommend over this one. This has some benefits but they don't overcome the biggest downside: the Armor Shield film is 1-2 mm narrower on the sides then the Samsung film. I actually confirmed this by putting my old Samsung film over this one, and the difference is obvious. As other reviewers have said, this film does not go over the curve. It actually does slightly, but nowhere near the edge. You can see where it goes over the edge during installation because it has a tendency to lift there until you smooth it out. I suspect Armor Shield wanted fewer complaints about their screen protectors lifting from the stupid curved edge and just avoided the issue entirely by making the screen protector narrower. But this is absolutely not a good way to protect your phone since you do have a stupid curved edge. It's something I would expect from some generic manufacturer, not Armor Shield. Interesting to note, nowhere on the packaging box does it say this is for the Samsung S23 Ultra. There is only a sticker sku label that says it's for the S23 Ultra. I suspect the same protector films are produced for the S23 and S22 line up rather than designing one to specification for the S23 Ultra. Lazy cost cutting. The crazy thing about the Samsung film is that despite coming closer to the case it has never lifted on me and I have used an OtterBox defender pro, OtterBox Commuter case, and currently a ShldAir Active case that has a bevel that is raised over the sides. So there is no reason to make these things narrower. The front camera cutout on this one is narrower than the Samsung film, which sounds better since it is a closer fit but can actually cause problems if you get dust or dirt on the edges or the film slides and the film protector blocks the camera cutout. It's too close for comfort. But mainly, the Armor Shield doesn't protect your edges where you are most likely to get sand (quartz) stuck between your case and screen protector and scratch the screen. Neither will give any kind of drop protection. Screen protectors are meant to protect against scratches to the front screen, while cases protect from fall damage and back glass scratches. The advantage of this one is that it is much easier to put on and very forgiving of problems with the initial installation, as long as you don't run out of the liquid. Which surprisingly, is very easy to do! During my first attempt, a single speck of dust got behind the film and I had to remove it and spray it liberally until I got the dust off. I wore latex gloves during installation, but I suspect as long as you spray your hands you can do this barehanded. I could not do something like that with the Samsung protector, and in fact, I ruined a few of them like that. These stupid films will draw every particle in the vicinity to them. They are lint magnets during installation. The Samsung film also has less resistance when swiping but that may be since I just installed my Armor shield film. I suspect that the oils from my finger will make it smoother over time and there may still be residue from the spray. One big advantage the Armor shield has: There was no crease during installation, fewer bubbles, and they disappeared quicker. The Samsung film looks awful when it goes on, but the film magically smooths itself out over 24-48 hours--as long as you didn't get any dust on the inside during installation. Which is not an easy thing to do. I tried this Armor Shield film out because the Samsung one was backordered but I will be going back to Samsung despite the advantages of this film because of the more precise fit. It's a shame. I really wanted to like this since I've had to replace my Samsung ones every 3-6 months due to tears in the film. Scratches are self healing but a tear in the film will not self repair. Armor Shield has a lifetime warranty which I immediately activated (you have 14 days to do it from the time of purchase) and was looking forward to testing out whether that was legit. I work around construction sites so my films never last. But my screen hasn't gotten a scratch yet. And I am not confident enough to wait and see whether this film will actually protect the screen since I know it for sure doesn't protect the edges. One final note: since TPU protector films are much thinner than glass protectors, the fact that the screen protector does not go over the curve is not noticeable in regular use, so asthetically, it looks fine, but functionally, it is not protecting your phone from scratches. And that's its only job!

Very thin and nice feel. Soft and dosen't seem to scratch easily

The protection screen leaves an off color making it extremely noticeable. I took it off right away.

ArmorSuit continues to be one of my go‑to brands for screen protection. The clarity of the film is excellent, touch response stays smooth, and I appreciate that it’s Made in the USA. Installation was exactly what I expect from a wet‑apply film—straightforward, with enough working time to get everything aligned cleanly. The only thing to be aware of is sizing. The listing suggests full coverage, but this version doesn’t reach edge‑to‑edge on the S24 Ultra. If you want true full coverage, you’ll need their “Max Protection” version instead. The “case‑friendly” cut on this pack seems designed for very bulky cases like OtterBox; most S24 Ultra cases only contact the top and bottom edges, so the extra clearance isn’t really necessary. Overall, still a great protector from a reputable brand—just make sure you pick the right version for the coverage you want.
