Choosing the right screen protector for your Galaxy S23+
Selecting the perfect screen protector for your Galaxy S23+ is a critical decision, and it all boils down to the material. From tempered glass to soft TPU films and PET/Hybrids, each has its unique perks.
Glass protectors (like the Spigen Glas.TR EZ Fit) offer a smooth touch experience and protection against drops and impacts. The Spigen option offers easy installation, complemented by a well-designed bracket, making it our top pick for most users. If you're after solid tempered glass protection without breaking the bank, the SuperShieldz screen protector is a budget-friendly alternative worth considering.
TPU films don't offer the same impact protection as tempered glass, but they excel at scratch resistance and are generally better accepted by under-display fingerprint scanners. They can even be easier to install for first-time buyers, and brands like ArmorSuit MilitaryShield even promise scratch repair over time, a win for long-term phone care.
If you're up for a bit more investment, the ZAGG InvisibleShield Fusion screen protector is worth a look. It's crafted with a shock-absorbing flexible hybrid polymer, mimicking tempered glass' touch while delivering robust protection against scratches and impacts. Plus, it comes with a default 40 percent blue light filter, ensuring extended screen time without straining your eyes.
The keys to protecting your Galaxy S23+
The biggest obstacle to perfect screen protector performance is the installation process. Some, like the SuperShieldz, use dry glue that adheres almost instantly with minimal curing time. With the utmost care, they work great. By comparison, high-end options like the Whitestone Dome Glass use a liquid adhesive called LOCA that gives you a chance to position the protector perfectly before undergoing a UV curing process (for which all the tools are included).
TPU film isn't necessarily easier or harder to install, it's just a slightly different process. No matter which material you choose, use the included tools to clean the phone's screen and pay careful attention to what you're doing, and you shouldn't have much difficulty.
The final step in keeping your S23+ in perfect condition is getting a high-quality case. There's a wide selection to choose from, including some that are especially heavy-duty and others with room to store cards and cash.
