amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Full Screen Coverage), Dot Matrix, Case Friendly, 3D Curved with Easy Installation Tray - 2018

UPDATE AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS AT BOTTOM. Cover was easy to install: took about 10 minutes with very little struggle, included guide was perfect. Even without turning up touch sensitivity I found responsiveness to be very good. However, it has many downsides. -Black frame is slightly too small and obscures screen edges, especially corners; it is not terrible, but with so many other affordable options there is no reason to put up with this; product images seem to show a small amount of bezel showing under the black edge but this is not the case, you will not see any of the phone's bezel -Rainbowing (a.k.a. Newton Rings) are a normal part of having two pieces of glass touching; if quality of the cover was higher (and more expensive) this might not happen but seller should mention it to customers - only way to avoid would be full screen adhesive which would make installation trickier, too; the effect is especially present where the screen curves and must touch the protector -Edge adhesive is not consistent all the way around; if a drop of liquid touches an edge (especially along the sides where the adhesive line is thinner) it will get sucked under the screen protector due to capillary action; only way to get it out is to lift protector off and compromising the adherence of the protector (allowing it to dry could leave mineral deposits rubbing between the screen and protector) -May be better for some users depending on what phone case they are using, but with the slim case I use there are 2-3mm portions of exposed screen along the edges; corners are particularly vulnerable (did not deduct stars on this point because it may work well with a bulkier case) This protector is barely worth it. Ease of install was the only major plus. UPDATE: Happy to be contacted by seller, will gladly update review when replacement arrives. UPDATE: -Replacement protector has tolerances even better than the very close match it was before: speaker cut out is a perfect fit, black outlines are almost indistinguishable from the bezel. I am actually quite impressed by how tight the tolerances are on the replacement. The newer protector also solved the problem of the old protector corners obscuring a tiny but significant portion of the screen. -The edge adhesive seems more consistent this time around, however I would still avoid contact with liquids in case they infiltrate the edge and force you to remove the protector. That said, I have not tested how it would perform if submerged or splashed. -Installation was still a breeze, especially considering how finicky full-adhesive screen protectors are. Still, be extremely rigorous about dust and specks before you install. The dry wipe included in the package seemed to release its own fibers as well. Removing the cover later will compromise the very thin adhesive lines. Also, because it is not completely adhered you get a trade off: Rainbowing. -Rainbowing is interestingly both better and worse: worse because it occupies a larger portion of the screen than the last protector; better because it is less noticeable overall and seems reliant on the type of lighting. Under most situations it is very difficult to see the rainbowing although it is definitely there at certain angles (usually angles in which you would not be using the phone anyway). However, I have a particular room in my home that uses a combination of warm and cool fluorescent light bulbs that seems to bring out the rainbow effect. Attached image shows effect, but again it is practically invisible 95% of the time. -The dot matrix of the screen also seems to be more visible under certain lighting conditions, but I could not pinpoint them. This never happened when I was actually using the phone so it is of negligible effect. -GearVR: I am happy to report that the screen cover does not appear to affect the quality images when used in a GearVR. The fit is a bit tighter but not a problem. UPDATE: spoke too soon, the dot matrix on the protector can be seen warping/magnifying pixels, especially in large single color areas with no motion. Also, when there is a large amount of contrast (white on black, for example), the lighter colors appear to "bleed" and appear as a halo, which is the reflection of the lighter areas off the protector. These issues are situational but are noticeable, perhaps even unbearable since the Note 9 is the ideal phone for GearVR. Since GearVR is probably not a general-use case I am not deducting stars. -Cooling: I am trying to keep the phone for as long as possible so am very conscious of the need to keep the phone as close to room temperature as possible. As most would probably guess, the screen protector has a negligible affect according to 3C Battery Monitor. -I am a sucker for good customer service, they definitely stand by their product and want it to be the best for their users. I give the product itself 4 stars due to the rainbow effect (which is possibly unavoidable with any edge-adhered screen protector), but add a star for proactively assuring customer satisfaction.

UPDATE - Phone flew out of my pocket and on to a gravel road yesterday. Landed glass down. The screen protector did exactly what it is designed to do and cracked like an egg. My actual screen? Perfectly fine. :) High quality tempered glass screen protector. Easy installation, no issues with touch sensitivity, and no halo effect or blurring. I REALLY struggled with which screen protector to buy due to the huge number of fake reviews on other brands. This one seemed legitimate, so I went for it. I'm glad I did. I've seen no issues with the edges after several days, but I CLEANED my screen meticulously before I put this on. I wound up with one piece of dust so I lifted the protector, used one of the dust stickers, and got it perfect on the second shot. No bubbling around the edges, etc. Just great. My first Note 9 screen shattered. I hope this one fares better with this screen protector. The only down side I can see is that the glass picks up smudges and finger prints more easily than the factory glass on the Note 9. It's not a big deal, but worth noting.

Long read but if you have had problems read this. This seller has great customer service and very prompt in addressing any problems. There's a couple issues with this screen protector that is mentioned in other reviews. Theses things include it falling off after a few weeks, easy breakage from light bumps. I think if figured out the potential issue with these complaints. **FIX FOR PROBLEMS THAT A FEW COMPLAINTS MENTIONED IN THE REVIEWS AT THE END OF THIS** POTENTIAL INSTALLATION FRAME ISSUES I'll explain shortly but I'd like to say I'm a phone fanatic and a app developer as well. I've installed many, many screen protectors through the years which includes installations for friends and relatives, because they either had previous issues or installed incorrectly. So this is far from my first rodeo. My first install of this one on my own phone broke. The frame was properly attached, I was meticulous about placing the protector in the frame and everything seemed great, until... While smoothing out the edges to ensure a good fitment I noticed just a very slight "tick" sound when rubbing the edges in certain areas. Then "crack" it broke, right at one of those locations. I doubled checked all my edges and everything was lined up perfectly so I know it wasn't my install. I just figured it was a QC issue in manufacturing and the tolerance was a hair off. So I contacted them and they immediately sent me another one. I can't stress though how great this company is with customer support!!! I wish more sellers were like them. Ok protector #2 arrived and I lined everything up perfectly again, installed and heard the slight crackling again, UH OH... This time I checked the edges and there was a clear gap on the edges and if I put just a little too much pressure it would break once again. What makes me think this is the installation frame was that again this happened and their could be some imperfections on the plastic frame. Also oddly enough the protecter looked just slightly angled off center, just the tiniest bit, but I noticed that the top speaker slot, camera, led slots all lined up PERFECTLY. So if it was off center even sightly they should have been slightly off center as well. So it's puzzling but I ended up fixing it anyways so we'll see how it holds up in the next few weeks. IMPORTANT TIPS listen well when rubbing the edges to secure when finished install. If you hear any slight crackling sound you can potentially break it by just rubbing it as there's a slight gap on the edge and they are a VERY sensitive area. This also means that if there's gap that dust can enter which eventually cause the protector to fall off over time. FIX: Now this is what I did to fix it but I have a lot of phone repair experience like battery replacement, installing new back cover plate and seals etc. If you are comfortable with these instructions feel free to proceed but do not attempt if you feel you might not be able to do this. If done wrong or in a hurry you will just break the protector so BE CAREFUL!!!. When opening up the back cover for replacing parts, battery etc you need to heat up the cover to be able to soften the adhesive enough for removal. You can YouTube videos on this process but this is not actually what we are doing but don't worry about damaging the phone as Samsung repair centers do this very same thing to the Note 9. I decided to attempt the same thing to remove this screen protector. The adhesive on this protector at the top and bottom bezels is EXTREMELY STRONG. This is why heat is needed. The curved sides aren't as strong but you'll heat up the entire edges of the protectors regardless. You'll need a regular old hair dryer and a very slim piece of semi-rigid flexible plastic kind of like what often is included in phone repair kits. I honestly just used my finger nails because I figured it might break anyways so I didn't really much care. Turn off your phone and lay it on something soft like a towel. Use the hair dryer and begin going around all edges slowly taking a little bit more time on the top and bottom bezels because of the adhesive strength at those two areas. The phone will get hot but don't worry. Check the YouTube videos on note 9 repairs and they ALL state the phone will get hot, sometimes hot to the touch, some even using gloves. (I did not) After you've heated it a bit try to gently side the plastic I mentioned (or fingernail) under the BOTTOM bezel because there's no slots or cutouts like at the top which can cause it to break easier. You might need to heat it more but definitely as you progress keep applying heat intermittently. If you get some resistance then apply more heat. Once you've got the bottom adhesive loosened (don't start pulling up just yet) make your way around both edges leaving the top for last. Again Z being gentle here IS KEY and do not start lifting up until you've got the bottom and the sides loose. Reapply heat at you go along if you get major resistance. You will still get a little resistance on the top and bottom no matter what so just be careful and patient. Once these areas are a bit loose heat up the top again really hot. Then starting at the bottom start pulling it up very gently appplying more heat as you go of needed. When you get near the top you even need more careful because of the cutouts. If done correctly and carefully you should be able to remove it without any damage. Now THROW THAT INSTALLATION FRAME AWAY and just line it up correctly manually by using the top cutouts, especially the SPEAKER slot as it's so small and a little difficult to line up. Keep it at an angle so you can get closer and see your lined up. Lay it down from top to bottom and check your fitment. If everything's good continue, if not you have to re-apply which risks getting dust underneath etc. Once you have everything good rub the sides again at first and after re-heat the phone once again. You want to heat up the adhesive again to make sure you get a good seal. After heating rub all the sides again thoroughly and you're done. Listen for any crackling and if you don't hear anything you are good. I did it the first time with no problems and I didn't get any crackling afterward. The only issue I have is there's just a tiny line at the bottom of the protector because I used my fingernails, from dirt possibly under my nails (yes my nails are clean but we get stuff underneath we can't always see. ) If I had used plastic as I described then it wouldn't have been an issue. If you don't have any thin plastic that works then just find an old credit card or something similar that you don't use anymore and then sand it down thinner at one of the corners and use that. I personally feel that people who've had issues with the protecter coming off was due to barely noticeable gaps on the edges which allow dust and dirt to get into. Hopefully this information helps someone who is encountering problems. See attached photos for the problem and end results.

I was really surprised by this. I was expecting the glass and dust cleaning kit and maybe a postage stamp cleaning cloth but it turned out to be more. The biggest selling point for me was the portion size of one - i mean unless you have a family that has the exact same (thousand dollar) phone the average person only needs one. This comes with everything you need to properly install it in ideal conditions of an undamaged screen. the glass, the dust kit and a reasonably sized if not pretty cheap cleaning cloth. It also comes with an install jig that makes it practically impossible to mess up installation. I managed to get mine on without any bubbles. better still its installed on a damaged screen so its pulling double duty of protecting the screen from further damage but also protecting my fingers from the new sharp edges of my phone. it may develop bubbles over time because cracks can let air in, albeit slowly, but after two months of use its holding up just fine. I will say that its more of a smudge magnet than the stock screen is but that just teaches me a lesson to take better care of my phone. The smudge factor is the only con I can think about because its been better than expected since I opened the box. Though I will say that if you are a "picker" the edges are soft and rounded over but your fidgety fingernails can find their way under the screen. either get a better phone case or break yourself of the habit before you end up pulling it off.

I just installed this today and got it on in 1 try no problems! However the instructions are a little dated so let me write out my own. 1) Make sure the surface area is clean free of dust. I used the bathroom with the air vent on and vacuumed the counter and surrounding areas. 2) Turn on touch sensitivity from SETTINGS > DISPLAY > TOUCH SENSITIVITY. Then turn off your phone. 3) Clean your phone with the supplied alcohol wipe (says step 1) 4) Dry your phone with the supplied dry wipe (says step 2) 5) Place the carriage/holder over your phone 6) Wipe your phone with microfiber cloth 7) Use the stickers to remove dust particles on your screen. Try not to exhale over the phone during this step. 8) Take out the screen and remove the film bottom side facing the floor. This way you're not breathing dust onto the back of the protector (where it sticks) 9) UNLIKE THE VIDEO, align the screen protector using the ear speakers as your reference point. I did it the demo video's way and it didn't align with the ear speaker correctly. 10) With the protector on, use your finger and slide it down from top middle to the bottom. Then the sides, top, and bottom edges 11) The video says to use a squeegee, but it doesn't come with one.. So either use a spare one or a soft card, like a gift card. VOILA! It does leave a little rainbow effect in the middle of the screen, but I anticipate it'll go away in a few days. I've used other tempered glass for this phone and it did the same thing. I registered for the lifetime warranty online and it's very professional. It pulls up your Amazon purchase ID and your order info. Comes with 10% coupon code for next purchase and also buttons to submit claims. Very cool. I used TOCOL previously and their customer service sucked for their lifetime warranty. Here's hoping amFilm will one-up them and everyone else! UPDATE 5/7/2020: So my protector screen cracked after dropping it. My main screen is fully intact! No cracks, no nothing. Here's where the product shines (or customer service I should say) I went to their website and applied for replacement. They will ask for Amazon order number and pictures of proof for damage. I had to use my wife's phone to take a picture of my cracked screen. I got it in the mail (not quite sure how long it took. I kinda put off replacing my screen right away) The new product works just as good as the old one. The replacement was completely free. This thing is 5/5. I will absolutely buy this again if the screen ever cracks again.

The quality of this screen protector is top notch, the installation was very easy with the guide included, and the cover looks good and resists scratches, it is easy to clean and protects more of the screen than some other protectors I have seen. The shape and fit to the curved part of the screen is very good and I has ZERO bubbles or lifting. On to the major flaw, for some this may not be a big deal, but the black outline around the edge of the screen protector (which I assume is for the actual adhesive that holds it to the screen) covers up a very small portion of the screen itself. For most phones this is not a big deal, the amount it covers is extremely minimal, however, the note 9 has some features, such as edge lighting for notifications and such, which this cover interferes with. A pretty big flaw for the design for this protector on this phone. The black outer edge needs to be reduced for the phones it covers that have edge lighting or edge tabs. Quite unfortunate because I was really happy with this cover up to that point. But I will likely be looking for a replacement that does not interfere with the edge lighting or cover the screen.

This company is stellar. I purchased this screen protector for my Note 9 back in 2019 and its now 2023. My phone and this TechMatte screen protector have traveled with me to nearly every continent & performed superbly. No bubbles, cracks or gaps just solid protection. Even in the misty mountains of Africa trekking gorillas. Which is no easy feat considering the Note 9 has a curved edge, tho clean & beautiful, ergonomically, can be difficult as hell to find an adequate case and screen protector for - without it looking like one of those cases named after an animal that swims in a river if you get my drift. This screen protector pairs beautifully with my favorite 2 piece gasketed Burga cases. Harmonius! Get this screen protector, heck, get a few, everyone's gonna want one. Why am I reviewing this 4 yrs later? Cuz on Monday, I happened to drop my phone & I saw a crack, I couldn't believe it, but it must have been on a corner in just the right spot. BUT IT WAS THE PROTECTOR, NOT MY SCREEN! In 2019 I registered for the lifetime warranty & saved my email. Voila! When I went back to the email and clicked through to make a claim, it self populated my order number and within 2 minutes a free replacement was on its way. By Wednesday I had the replacement - 48 hours! Outstanding service. TechMatte customer for life.

If you're like me, you looked around at the various offerings for screen protectors for the note 9 and saw that most of them did not have great reviews. I decided to pick up this screen protector as I had used this same company's tempered glass product in the past for my Nintendo switch, and that has been great. I got that screen protector in a double pack and the second one has not left the package. It fit perfectly, install was easy, and once it was on, it was like it wasn't even there. Moving on to this screen protector however, while largely a good product, I do have some complaints. Installation was a breeze, and I saw no rainbow patterns or anything of the like. The fit is good for the screen, but it does not actually go edge to edge on the glass, on all four sides it falls short, which seems to be an intentional design choice, perhaps for better case compatibility. Nevertheless, it only covers the lit screen portion of the glass, if the device were to be dropped on an edge or corner, there is no protection at all. Touch sensitivity has been largely unaffected by the product, and turning on the touch sensitivity feature of the phone is unnecessary. However, the S-pen seems to drag a little on the glass surface when compared to the bare screen, and the feel is just a little "off", but is easy enough to get used to. Finally, I have noticed that the dot matrix pattern becomes visible under brighter lights with a dark screen, which can be annoying. Overall the screen protector is decent. Edit: Originally I had fit issues with the device due to me incorrectly using the installation tray that resulted in sensitivity issues and some screen separation. TechMatte's customer support quickly helped me to correct the issue, and even offered to send me a new screen protector if needed (which was not needed.)

Ho appena ricevuto questo vetro GLASS. TROVO MOLTO STRANO CHE IL VETRO NON COPRA TUTTA LA SUPERFICIE NÉ SUL FRONTE SUPERIORE E INFERIORE E NEMMENO SUI BORDI CURVATI. ANCHE LA SENSIBILITA' NON MI SEMBRA OTTIMA SE CONFRONTATA CON IL VETRO CHE AVEVO SUL S8+. FORSE MI È STATO INVIATO UN PRODOTTO SBAGLIATO?

This was my first time purchasing a screen protector for my phone from abroad as the production of screen protectors for Samsung note 9 has stopped in India(2023) and we are not able to find best quality protectors. Hope you get my point!😜 So I found this one on Amazon and few things worried me at first..is this good quality🤔 and is it worth ordering as it comes for a huge price(3k)..💸😅 (TO SELLER: What's this man.. its 1k now🥴 return 2k😅.. I have gpay🤣) Anyway, I ordered on May 10th 2023 and got it by 31st😱..(it has to clear customs and reach you, which takes time) To my surprise, it was well packed.. as mentioned..had all necessary things to do a nice job with your screen protector..the case helps to align the screen protector properly with the phone screen. (Tip: make sure you start sticking from the top but not from the bottom as mentioned in the instructions.. otherwise you will find later that you placed it above the phone notification light area). Excellent product and quality as well.. I do not see much fingerprints on the phone screen after using it..its designed in a way that it does not disturb the phone case. Overall satisfied with the purchase😍👌 Anyone purchasing from INDIA, go for it.. no second thoughts😉.

Awesome quality I'm super happy! Exactly as expected, even better. Installation was easy! Just be careful when installing make sure you are in a dust free environment. I got a little spec of dust under my screen and now I can see it all the time lol but yeah they give you stickers to collect dust with prior to installation, so you can avoid my mistake, and the full kit makes installing it super easy! I'm very happy with this product. The glass is durable, the tough response is quick and flawless and the adhesive works well. Worth the money.

Had this on my previous Note 8 and was confident that it'd work fine on the Note 9 and it does! Fits perfectly; very easy to install (getting the glass uber clean is paramount) and then sticking it down being firm with the edges where the adhesive is etc Fits well with my Spigen Neo Hybrid case as well Personally; £50 for the Whitestone Dome kit is OTT whereas these are £9.99, so ideally priced to have a spare just in case!

Es un buen producto para el costo que tiene, hay que tener mucho cuidado al colocarlo, unos milímetros que lo coloques de lado, pierde sensibilidad, pero con la guía de colocación que viene incluida, no deberían tener ningún problema. Le coloque uno de la misma marca en un note 8 y funciona de maravilla. La sensación de la mica es excelente, la sensibilidad le pondría un 9. En cuanto a resistencia, es muy bueno, se me cayó en varias ocasiones y apenas y se dañó, en la última caída que fue de pantallazo, pudo resistir a pesar de haber piedritas en el piso, quedó medio destrozada pero no se dañó para nada la pantalla del celular ahorrandome miles de pesos. Vale muchísimo la pena esta mica, recomiendo tener siempre una de repuesto pero abrirla en el momento en que llega, una de otra marca me vino rota pero no pude hacer válida la garantía porque ya habían pasado meses de haberla comprado.
