Hi All,
Can someone please recommand me a good protector? I'm currently using the Smartphone Experts one...the material does a great job in reducing smudges and oil marks but I strongly recommend against that brand because it looks like it was cut by a 5 yo with safety sisscors. The non straight cuts and horrible fitment doesn't bother me too much as the Innocase covers the edges, but it causes the protector to be lifted around the entire edges. This drives me nuts as I'm pretty anal regarding cosmetics.
I know there's the Brando (?) one, but haven't found any reviews regarding quality..any others?
Thanks,
I've used only three brands of screen protectors... I can recommend that Clarivue is the best of Stock T-Mobile Screen Protector and Zagg. Clarivue is simple and is anti smudge/glare to apply to your phone and much tougher than T-Mobile Screen Protector, but Zagg is even more protective but it has issues like orange peel and the screen is very sticky and hard to apply, and it doesn't look so good with smudges and oil marks. The worst of all is the screen protector is very hard to slide your finger or even stylus around.
Just ordered. Thanks for the recommendation!
It's on sale for $10.99 for 2 + 10% discount (code: Clarivue7) + free shipping = $10.38/tax!!
I also found a great detailed review here.

I have been using the Boxwave anti-glare screen protector and I think it is an excellent product but I do not like their customer service. Just recently I noticed a scratch on my LCD so I email Boxwave to send me a replacement.
It took them 3 days to return my email, and I ended up playing a cat and mouse game with them to send me a replacement. Keep in mind everytime I sent them an email it took them 3 days to get back to me. I first opened a case with them on 4/05 and finally as of yesterday they accepted the RMA and will send me a replacement.
That is very poor customer service due to the time frame. They do not even post phone #'s to call them directly. I really cannot tolerate poor customer service and I will be doing business with them again. I've dealt with ZAGG, bodyguardz and Phantom Skinz. None of them took this long to take care of an issue.
As I said if you want a nice anti glare screen protector try Boxwave's, but if issues arise don't expect them to handle it any time soon.
I read good things about Boxwave too, but $15.55 each shipped is a little too steep for me. According to ppl who have used both, quality between the 2 is minimal. :fingers crossed:

Cool, hope you respond to this thread again when you get it and give us your review
So I received my Clarivue Anti-glare protectors today. I must say the whole order processing/shipping process was very fast.
Comparing this to the SPE protector, physically, the material is noticably thinner which makes the touchscreen a bit more responsive. As for cut, this one is better, but still not perfect comparing to Seidio or OEM...but it's ok because my Innocase covers most of the edges. One thing that bugs me is the bottom is straight cut (not cut around the horns by the buttons), which I don't like.
I've been putting on protectors for years, yet I still suck at it. Took me about 10 tries...kept getting dust in between. Since it's static, I washed it a few times with soap and water and it held up fine. I also applied it when it was still a little wet. I want to note that this protector is cut very well, no rough cuts meaning no lifts/airbubbles around the edges like the SPE.
Performance...well, I'm quite disappointed. Yes, it's thinner so it's more responsive, but I never really had any complaints/issues with the SPE one in that department. HOLY COLOR BLEEDING!! With Anti-glare protectors, it comes with it. The SPE one had it, but not enough to ever bother me, but this one, it's pretty bad. Also, on white (ie email), you can really see the red/white/blue. I'm going to keep it on and see if my eyes adjust..if not, I'm going to try the Brando one or go back to the SPE.
Note, for the TP2, I've used OEM, Seidio, SPE, flea market special and now Clarivue.
Edit - Since it's a thread on anti-glare/smudge, I should mention that it does very well at hiding fingerprints. Oil/face prints is ok, hides it better than reg protectors like it should. As for glare..not sure yet. I'm a hermit working in the flippin bat cave so I'll see sunlight when I leave work.
Update - it's only been a couple days and it already got a bit scratched. only wear it saw was in and out from my pocket...not amused
Pro-Tech Seems to Work
I've used Pro-Tech screen protectors for my last three phones -- works great: put it on once (carefully! follow directions!) and forget about it. About $10 for screen protector, and mine still look good after a couple of years each. Makes a good anti-smudge surface.

figured id chime in on the screen protectors ...ive used about 3 different brands and finally bought the skinomi tech skin it was on amazon for 9.95 + ship and it comes with a lifetime replacment warranty ive had it for nearly a month now and although it doesnt help with the glare as much and shows finger prints .....i myself have personaly ran it through the paces ...i used my car key for a stylus one day ....just to see and sure enough it scratched it to what i thought was unrecoverable and then i plugged it in over night and when i woke up in the morning the screen was as clear as it was the night before so i wiped the fingerprints off of it and tried again
I have been using the ClearProtector for about a month now, and really like it so far. The fitment is just slightly off, but not so much that it would be a problem and it's very tough.
I personally LOVE my Ghost Armor. I used to only use Zagg, but I do not like the very rapid discoloration, the "orange peel" texture, and the stickyness of the film. Ghost Armor is clearer, thinner, smoother, and it doesn't give you that sticky feeling when you run your finger across it. It fits VERY well, and if you have a kiosk in your mall they will apply it for you in about 20 minutes. This also means if they mess up the application of the protector, they will just use a brand new one and fix it for you!
Go with Clarivue Anti-Glare!

I ordered the Clarivue Anti-Glare with the same deal back in February. (Except no tax, so my total was $9.89 for 2 screen protectors.) HERE is link for CDMA version. Other versions available at www.clarivue.com.
I love it! It makes screen glare almost nonexistent. Best of all, no fingerprints! As an added bonus, the tactile feel of the protector is nice, sort of like running your finger over fine paper. After a day, you don't even notice the difference.
Some people claim to experience a very slight "wet" or "halo" effect. I don't see that normally, unless I have strong reading glasses on, and then I only slightly notice it. In any event, it is not enough to defeat the positives.
All in all, I highly recommend the Clarivue Anti-Glare Screen Protector! I've used daily since February and am still on my first of 2 protectors. And with the deal, it's even better!

I got the cover today, went on the first time without airbubbles, but unfortunately I got a a hair stuck under the cover. I got it on right the second time, and I'm really loving tthe cover. Its great for reducing the finger prints and glare. It is very smooth and doesn't have the orange peel texture of a lot of other screen protectors, I wouldn't mind getting one for my Droid Charge.
I got mine last night. Brought it to work this morning and slapped it on.
All I can say is I hate air bubbles and this went on the first time without issue.
It is smooth, cut down on the glare, fingerprints less noticeable, and it looks fantastic...
I am absolutely impressed by this. I may have to find out how to get a spare.
Nice can't wait to receive mine and write up a review. Hopefully my stylus will be in at the same time so I can let you know how it works with the stylus.
Recieved mine this morning. The install went smoothly, very few air bubbles that were easy to work out. The tip for removing dirt/hair trapped under the cover was great. Cover does really reduce glare and fingerprints nicely. I like the texture of the cover, it is not as smooth as the TF glass, just right to let fingers glide without grabbing.
All in all I would buy this cover.
Thanks
Just received mine today, install was easy and air bubble was easier to get out compare to what i have used before. Pretty good cover i'd say.
Just got mine as well today, install went reasonably smooth. There are a couple imperfections, but those were my fault and not the products fault. It definitely reduces the glare, and I don't notice fingerprints at all. The camera hole lines up perfect and doesn't affect it at all. Definitely one of the better screen protectors out there. The tip for getting rid of dust worked great.
I will try and get a better picture later; camera didn't want to auto focus properly.
Thanks all for the reviews. I will be posting a BUY thread in the Marketplace section once I get a few more reviews. These will be retail units with complete packaging. So keep those reviews coming!
PS Anyone recommend a cheaper/faster shipping alternative? I'm shipping them via USPS First Class ~$1 to $2 depending on location.
PPS Looking forward to the video reviews
Just got mine. Went on as easy as any screen protector I have tried. No problem with bubbles, reduces prints and glare, also the fit is spot on, only negative comments would have to be that it's not as smooth as glass. I would recommend this product.
Got mine today. Slapped it on, luckily no hair\dust. Minor bubbles which im slowly seeing go away. Glare is minimal as well as the fingerprints. By far much better than the one i received with my case from amazon. Putting an affordable price on it should make you and lots of users happy. Id buy another if need be. Thanks
Thanks to cheinb once again for the free sceen protector your generousity is greatly appreciated.
Received my Screen protector this morning in the mail and was dissapointed to see that customs or the mailman (not sure who was to blame) had decided to fold the package in half.
Despite the crease i still managed to get it to flatten out enough to be useable so I proceeded to line up the edges and found it to be a perfect fit, nice!
The finish on the screen protector adds a matte effect to the display helping to reduce glare in a sunny/brightly lighted environment, welcomed as another added bonus no doubt. The smooth surfaced finish also seems to attract significantly less fingerprints and makes the scrolling and swiping flow better.
In summary i am more than pleased with the build quality and perfect fit of cheinb's asus transformer custom screen protector, now to see how it will stand the test of time and close encounters with my monsters i mean children.
thanks again cheinb good looking out!
I received mine at the beginning of the week, and had absolutely zero problems installing it. I've installed many screen protectors in the past, and this had to be the easiest one I've ever done. The instructions were simple, and I had barely any bubbles that were slowly dissipating.
The feel of the screen protector is great, just the right amount of slide and it really cuts down on the glare.
All in all, one of the better screen protectors I've used, in all categories (Installation, protection, glare reduction, surface feel).
The TF is uses corning gorilla glass, really no need for screen protectors, unless you plan on throwing your devices around. Check youtube for gorilla glass reviews.

hey Fliparsenal,
You were one of the first batch. Let me know if you still haven't received it in a few days.
chienb
Good!
I got mine yesterday and also applied it yesterda.
The protector is quite thick and sturdy. There was a small paper with sintructions as well.By design it allows for less air bubbles and I have only a few minor ones on the sides because of my in experience.
It has reduced the glare and made the screen less slippery. Fairly thick and I am sure it will last for a long time. The adhesive is also pretty strong. Would have been even greater with a slight blackish tint.
In short I recommend it.

Same here nothing yet.
Excellent
Received mine the other day, and have had a few days to use the protector.
The following is my opinion. Screen protectors aren't for everyone, but personally I'd rather make a $20 'oops' than have to live with scratches. I don't see the harm in a protector, and in my experience they reduce fingerprints and glare like mad... so, do what you want.
Anyway, here's what I think of this protector:
Installation:
Handy set of instructions. Protector went on without any problems. I used a credit card as suggested to get rid of the air bubbles, which worked out very very well. This installation method is much much easier (and safer?) than Zagg, and similar to other adhesive-type protectors.
Fit:
The protector is cut slightly smaller than the size of the glass. My alignment was spot on, so I don't have any air bubbles around the edges, but there is probably a 1mm (or less) gap around the outside of the protector, which in my opinion is the perfect fit. The cutout for the front camera also is perfect.
Feel:
The protector offers minor friction for fingers. Initially my hands were very clean from the application process, and therefore were not leaving any finger prints. I have since used the TF for a few days, and even let a baby with greasy hands play with it, and the fingerprints/smudges were a minimum. In summary: the protector feels VERY GOOD and appears to cut down fingerprints like crazy. For me, this protector is better than just the glass, and much much better than the protector I had before (I had some 3 for $10 ebay style protector.. it was garbage). This protector is on par with Zagg protectors and their lack of fingerprints (for those who have used them).
Look:
Its hard to tell that there's even a protector on except for a few pieces of dust. Glare is reduced, colors don't seem to be affected. The protector I had before this one was much worse for letting the true colors through. Everything was faded and coarsened (dunno how to best describe that, but it looked bad). All in all, this one looks as good as no protector, with added benefit of reduced glare and minimal fingerprints.
Overall:
Most of my protector experience is with Zagg protectors; on a Nook Color, galaxy s and iPhone. I didn't want to have to fight with putting a Zagg on for a screen the size of the TF, so I have been looking for alternatives. If this protector is competitively priced then imo its one of the better ones for the TF. I once tried a skinomi for a G-tablet, and that thing was a complete waste of money.
Pending price, would get another one of these.
Thanks OP for the protector.
Keep us updated on their availability (I'll probably get another one).
Another question: would it be difficult to make one to fit a G-Tablet?
Cheers.
Ok I've finally received mine. Unfortunately the the package must have gotten folded during transit and it now has creases. I'll make do and will post a tutorial next upcoming weekend. Hopefully the crease is not permanent.
I wanted to share this experience for others to be aware of it and maybe to discuss some different experiences with other users.
Upon receiving my S10+, i enrolled my finger and have been using the phone for 2 days now.. I noticed that its almost a hit or miss, and many times it asks to keep my finger longer or press harder.. ALL THAT WHILE THE ORIGINAL SCREEN PROTECTOR IS ON, the one that comes installed with the phone.. It really bothered me given that i know for sure it should be better..
I remembered that i already bought 2 screen protectors, Ringke Dual, and Spigen film. And honestly that OCD kicked in with the original screen protector having a hole cut around the front cameras, so i looked at the Ringke dual and the screen protector covers the front camera (not that it matters because its very thin).
I applied it now after removing the original one. And its DAY AND NIGHT in difference with how fast and accurate the finger print reader is. Not a single miss or ask for longer hold..
So the way i see it, yes the ultra sonic definitely works great, but its best performance will be with a thinner screen protector ( Samsung original factory applied one is definitely thicker than the Ringke one)
I wonder how that will affect if others went with the UV glass screen protectors.. YES IT WILL WORK, but i advise them to try the finger print scanner for few minutes before installing it, when the screen is totally naked vs after installation.. To see themselves.
The Thickness of the screen protector is definitely a big factor, given how minimal the difference in the thickness in my trial.
Its a matter for discussion here, and to help others choose whats right..
(i dont sell or related to any seller or any brand and am not marketing or linking anything here)
Dang, I get my screen protectors custom cut at a local cell phone place and they are fairly thick. I paid them $20 and I get screen protectors for life.
That's good to know. I'm surprised the phone comes with a screen protector if it interferes with the sensor. I don't usually use one, I'm pretty easy on my phone.
I heard on CNET today that Samsung is aware of the 'hit and miss' fingerprint scanner and there should be an update for the time of sale (8th).

I never heard of the Ringke Dual, just watched a bunch of youtube videos and im insanely impressed. you say it doesn't effect, but in fact made your fingerprint reader experience better?

Its because its thinner than the original one, and definitely thinner than glass or the wet films.. I think when it comes to ultrasonic, microns matters in thickness..
Its a screen protector by Ringke.. Try searching and you will find it..
Maybe other brands with the same material and thickness will work as good too..
Note: I have edited the subject line to reflect the latest data I have. See post #3 below. It appears that the Tocol screen protector, which many reviews said does not interfere with the fingerprint reader, is the actual culprit
===============================
Downloaded the December update, installed smoothly and I see ZERO improvement in the fingerprint reader success rate. Same symptoms as pre update - the left finger work reasonably well, but the right finger fails massively. Most of the time I just run out of tries and have to enter the PIN to unlock. I have tried defining multiple times, focussing on different areas of the finger, trying to trigger with a full overlap or edge touch, etc. Nothing works consistently. For example, I can get the fingerprint reader to trigger and unlock with the finger placed down a certain way, then I lock the phone and try to place the finger as much as possible in the same location and reader will fail repeatedly.
What gives? This is with the Tocol screen protectors that supposedly do not interfere with fingerprint operation. I am coming to the Pixel 6 from the OP7T where the optical reader works very very well, so there is nothing wrong with my right fingerprint per se. Any suggestions? Have tried this with both low and high touch sensitivity, which should have nothing to do with the optical sensor.
Very disappointed with this phone so far. There are so many people here who report no issues, so I am wondering if there is a hardware sample variation?

That's weird. Mine works great after the mid November update. Did you remove and added the fingerprints again?
Yes, multiple times. I finally decided to pull off the Tocol screen protector and things started working . So much for hundreds of reviews on Amazon stating that it is one of the few that does not interfere with the fingerprint reader.
Anyone has suggestions about screen protectors that do not interfere with the Pixel 6 fingerprint reader? I am very rough on my phones and without a screen protector the screen will be all dinged up by keys or other things in my pockets within weeks.

Im using the URSOQ one from Amazon. Works great so far
Here is a list of "approved" screen protectors
Google lists Pixel 7 and 6 screen protectors certified to work with fingerprint sensor
Google has a list of certified brands that make screen protectors for Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro's under-display fingerprint sensor...
9to5google.com
The Otterbox one can be ordered from Best Buy with free shipping and 5 day delivery.
I have a Mr. Shield tempered glass glass protector and the fingerprint sensor works reasonbly well. Making sure your skin is not dry is very helpful.
im using a Spigen screen protector. I did turn on the extra sensitivity setting but ended up turning it off as it was too sensitive.
My FPR works BUT its no better than before being honest...

Do screen protectors actually work as advertised? I used to always have one on and more often than not they cracked at the slightest drop or event. Then I finally said I'm not spending another dime on them since my phone was about ready for an upgrade anyway within 6 months. Sure enough I dropped it a couple of times without a scratch. I never got another one and it's been at least 3 years. Now with FPR an issue perhaps it's not worth it? Just my opinion no need to flame. Are there any studies about the usefulness of them?
I am more concerned about scratches to the screen as hopefully my case protects the screen when dropped. Having said that I have only had a screen protector crack once. I had dropped the phone 4' on concrete. Protector cracked, screen fine.
Back in the day I used foils to protect against scratches.
Nowerdays we use glass protectors on all our phones.
And as my daughter and wife had several impact cracks, I came to the conclusion or illusion, protectors seem to have saved a couple of displays. Sometimes the cracks in the protectors looked like spiderwebs. I am pretty shure thes incidents would have definitely killed display glass.
Totally comes down to personal choice. Some people drop there phones a lot. Some don't.
For me, I'm historically a non dropper but i occasionally put my phone in my pocket and forget there is a key or something else already in there. Thats been the time where I've scratched my screen.

@phupton Yeah I get it and I was in that camp for a long time. But I wonder if the screen would have cracked or that the protector is so fragile it breaks way sooner than the screen would. That's why I'd love to see some studies. As for scratches that's another story of which I'm not sure. I never place my phone in a pocket with anything in it, be it my jeans, sweats, jacket or laptop bag. It's even rare I have a tissue in one of those pockets. So scratches are a non issue for me. (fingers crossed so I don't jinx it) lol

I'd consider me as a non dropper as well.
And then there was this one day when I forgot about my phone in a suit jacket pocket, put my jacket over a stair railing and my brand new Pixel made its way 2 floors down with a couple of smashing concrete and metal hits in between.
It not only survived, it was flawless. I don't know if the protective glass played a role. Still gave me peace of mind.
It's a similar argument to if you should use a 'clear' filter on a DSLR lens to help protect the lens from scratches
+ When you clean it, you are only risking scratches on the filter, which is relatively cheap to replace
+ It 'feels' you are protecting the lens
+ It also keeps fingermarks and liquids away from the lens
+ It's actually probably easier to clean, being flat
- The filter can make optical reflections and other artifacts worse
- The coatings on the front lens element (the one that's exposed) tend to be very tough anyway
- If the filter gets hit hard enough to break it, shards of glass from it may hit and damage the lens anyway
So just like with screen protectors - pros and cons and personal preferences. No absolute good or bad....
I'm a Nikon and non filter kind of guy.
Looks we are making good progress OT-ing.

Had not tried this specifically but had tried putting a bit of saliva on my fingertips and then wiping them off. Will keep that in mind when the new screen protector arrives. Without a protector the FPR is working great, but knowing myself I am going to scratch the screen with keys or something else within a week of running "naked".
With respect to the protector discussion - I agree that protectors have close to zero benefit when it comes to drops. But I am using them because I am not very careful with my stuff and tend to scratch screens and lenses with keys, letting them slosh around in a pocket on the dashboard of the Jeep, etc. I am running a Spigen Liquid Air case which I have used for many years with many different phones and the design seems to be good enough to protect against drops.
I think you need new fingers.
I use this screen protector fingerprint works great for me. Also it feels a lot like glass in use. Easy installation as well.
Amazon.com
Whats funny is I bought a similar one from rhinoshield that was more expensive and this one works way better. Fingerprint performance was bad with the rhinoshield one. This one works perfect every time.
I'm using whatever tempered glass protector came with my case, my single fingerprint has worked just fine since the November update.

I have a huge problems with ****y S23 ultra. I had tempered glass screen protector... I had huge problems to add fingerprints.... after a day noone worked... I have to set new recordings after every day....
I gave up and bought plastic screen protector.. everything working great.... after a day again no fingerprint can be read..... I hate this phone.... is there any other solution? On S20 there was an option to remove battery optimization on com.biometrics app....
Thank you
I had same problems with a glass protector - i had to press very hard to recognize my finger.
Now with matte folio i dont have a problem. Have you resetted your fingerprints after instaling the new protector?
Deceiving thread title. Even the cheapest screen protector works very well with Samsung's in-glass finger print sensor.
Please be so kind and change your screen protector with 10 dollar one, you'll be fine.
Don't create thread to everything.
Not all tempered glass is capable of FPS. Option is to use a Hydrogel screen protector or just buy the tempered glass with hole on the FPS portion which looks like sh*t.
There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

Man, i have tried 4 different brands tempered glass, 2 of them was with thinner glass on the fingerpring area - all didnt work good or didnt worked at all. I had many phones before that, never had this problem.
I have used a cheap matte plastic screen protector on the S21U, S22U and now on the S23U with no problems whatsoever with enhanced touch sensitivity turned on.
I have the same problem. Fingerprint reader is s* on S23U. I've tried many different screen protectors and it still sucks. My previous phone was Huawei P30 Pro and the fingerprint scanner was amazing even with a $1 protector on it.
The moment they tried to install that ass looking protector with the hole in the shop I was thinking what's going on here and what's wrong with a fingerprint reader.
This sux. So I have to try different sceen protector.... that could be expensive
Which one do you suggest, that wors 100%?
Is there any option to have them install screen protector?
i use samsung screen protector and i do not have any issue with biometrics... I don't even use enhanced sensitivity. Om my local forum everyone that use Whitestone Dome Glass have no issue with biometrics too, they put it exactly like in instruction using this metal weight during mounting. Some ppl that experiment with other brands have issue here and there.
I have use the Spigen Neo_flex and works great only issue is that like to smudge with fingerprints easy, and the I have the offical one on the S22 ultra and work great too, I have official one coming for my S23 ultra, for me the FPS works no better or worse than my S22 ultra.
Have you tried recording multiple copies of your fingerprints, in my experience, this vastly improves recognition?
1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.
- He proposed to me a film of gel protector, which I did use for few weeks, and indeed , it was like no protector at all. +/- 90% success rate.
- Then tried Axessorize Amor gLass, the matte spot bother me. around 50% success rate on multiple register same figer trick.
- Then tried those UV glass Ni-shen. Depite the fact those glass dont stick and do bubble, I have around 70-75% success rate with again same finger registered many time.

1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.

Maybe you have defect one, I never had issue with the FPS on my 22ultra or the 23 Ultra, I know people complain of it, but if your thumb is really dry that effects it, and its ultrasonic, not optical like lot of the other phones that have the in-display finger print reader, I like the samsung better since when I`m on the lake with my seadoo and in the water and my hands are pretty wet it still works, the optical ones won`t work unless you dry your thumb.

Doubt, I had 2x S23, was the same.
My hand are all over the place. Calm and no coffee = dry.
Sport or coffee or both = sweaty.
Most reviewers state the same. And this is partially because 4-5 years ago, we were use to ceramic one.
Those are way faster, and 99% success rate.
100% sure this is because people comparing 2 different technologies, and expect the same result. Under screen reading, is somewhat recent, and has a hader challenge to read between pixels a small print that never get positioned the same way each time

There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

I use a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector myself (been using them ever since they came out).
It works fine with fingerprints.
With all screen protectors one needs to increase touch sensitivity in Settings-->Display-->Touch sensitivity.
Yes, Dome Glass uses a UV-activated liquid glue. It comes with a jig to assist in placing the protector on the screen and a UV lamp to cure the glue. For me, the installation jig makes the procedure smooth and flawless every time - no bubbles and perfect placement of the protector. I would not use any other protector than the Dome Glass one.
I used to use the AmFilm but there glue is crap this year. The best for me now is the IMBZBK tempered glass UV glue installation. My fingerprint sensor with glass on works as good as with screen protector off. 95 percent success rate with glass on. Follow the instructions and you should have a perfect installation with this glass.

I have the exact same bad experience with FPS with tempered glass screen protector on, sometimes it works perfectly but other times it doesn't work at all, it's so frustrating...
I had Huawei P30 Pro and the FPS worked flawless everytime with any screen protector I've used.
Or y'all could save yourself some trouble and stop using sh***y screen protectors in the first place and you wouldn't have these problems.

I tried that one and finished in the garbage, bad quality product, is a screen protector that covers the front cam degrading the picture quality. Screen protectors should not cover the cam. Even from that brand I tried the camera lens protectors and after a while I saw slight scratches on it, now I have another brand that works fine.
The only way to not having issues with the FP is having a TPU screen protector and that's it, I have one and I have a rate of 80%-90% aprox and I will live with it.
Another very important point is this FP reader doesnt work at best with very dry skin, put your finger in your mouth, blow your humid breath and it will work better. I do this sometimes with other FP readers like when I enter in my house.
That is not true. If you install the glass correctly you won't have any issues with camera or fingerprint sensor. My accuracy is in the high 90s with the glass on. In all honesty don't feel any difference between glass and no glass.
