Keep your Galaxy S9 display safe and scratch-free
With every unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy S9 comes the inevitable debate of the best way to keep this beautiful (and expensive) phone safe. Some people are content with just "being careful" with their phone to avoid scuffs and cracks, but the rest of us know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Protecting the curved display of the Galaxy S9 is no easy task — tempered glass offers the best protection but a PET film can generally flex around the edges of curved displays better. There's also a price difference, so there's a lot to consider when you're buying.
Whether you prefer tempered glass or a flexible film, these are the best screen protectors for the Samsung Galaxy S9.
- Whitestone Dome Glass
- Zagg InvisibleShield Glass Curve Elite
- amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector
- Spigen NeoFlex Screen Protector (2-pack)
- IQShield Case Friendly Film Screen Protector (2-pack)
Whitestone Dome Glass
Our Favorite
The big selling feature for this wet install screen protector is its unique curing process, which uses UV light. It's by no means cheap, but it's one that you can trust to apply well, hold well to the edges of your screen, and protect it with its life.
The Whitestone Dome Glass proven to be a very popular screen protector and is currently on sale for $45, down from $60. Check out this review and installation guide to get an idea of how this tempered glass screen protector uniquely adheres like no other screen protector you've seen before. If the worst case scenario has already occurred and your screen is cracked, think of this as a second chance screen before dropping hundreds of dollars on a proper replacement screen.
With a UV light packaged to complete the curing process, this is a pricier option than other screen protectors out there, but based on video review and reviews on Amazon it's an early favorite. I guess time will tell how well the Whitestone Dome Glass holds up in real-life use.
amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Easy to Install
Whereas the Whitestone Dome Glass might require the most complicated installation process, amFilm has tried to simplify the process by providing an installation guide so you can line up the perfect fit. This simpler screen protector also comes with a more-wallet-friendly price.
amFilm's offering is a curved tempered glass screen protector that adheres to the phone using a silicone gel along the edges and a dot matrix along the majority of the display. amFilm says if you properly install this phone you will get a perfect fit with no clicking, no rainbow effect, and a strong adhesion that won't peel up. This is a case-friendly option that can be yours for just $12.
Spigen NeoFlex screen protector (2-pack)

IQShield Case Friendly Film Screen Protector (2-pack)
