Will tempered glass on the finger print reader still work? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

I have seen tempered glass for the finger print reader on eBay but wasn't sure if it would render the reader useless. I already have a small scratch on it that I have no idea how it got there as I baby my phone. Anyone tried it yet?

It's not covering the senor? So it would work fine

They have 2 options. One with and one without the fingerprint sensor cover. But at a $.20 difference, I would just buy and see if it did or didn't work

Cool. Are the edges along the sides smooth where the protector meets the phone.

It's 2.5D so it has the same finish as the phone.

Great video, one question is the clear part of the screen protector also bonded to the screen, reason I ask is because I bought one off eBay with a very similar design to this but the clear part had no bonding therefore leaving a 'pocket of air', this was a week ago the only thing about really.
One question where did you get the 0.24mm ?I can only find the 0.33mm thickness ,even in the official site the 0.33mm is available.

I ordered the Orzly protector from Amazon. Got a long wait time though, End of July or early August. Where did you order from?
Did anyone find a link for the .24 mm thickness?
I found only the .33 mm thickness on sale:

Get the one from Orzly. ₹599 for 5. Fits greats and feels great
Nope, I hated the smudges. He
Thank you for replying :good:
I use tje default protector since day one. It suits my needs well but loosens now. Will get a new one soon
Using it, just trimmed it over the capacitive buttons, it was getting bubbles there because of my kapaver cover. And it's working fine for me.
I live in Rajasthan India so sand grains are everywhere, and they can get scratches easily, so had to have some protection over the main screen.

Anyone try Lens Screen Protector?

Seen some on ebay for $1-5. They cover just the lens. Past phones notice scratches on lens at the end of life. Guess wouldn't hurt to have one. Just curious if anybody ever used them before? Ordered one myself just now.
Yes, I've got a cheap one from AliExpress. In fact it was a pack of 5.
The problem I found with them is that the flash interferes with the camera when the protector is applied, and you get a washed out picture. I fixed this by trimming the protector so it doesn't cover the flash. That means that the flash isn't protected, but it isn't the end of the world if that area gets scratched.
I got a two pack off ebay, haven't noticed any issues with my picture quality and stuff. Though I don't think I've used flash yet so not sure if that's an issue.

Supposedly the one I am getting doesn't have that problem. Probably a lie and will probably have to do what you did. I am lil worried with it and cases. Did it fit fine with whatever you have? I have tech 21 hopefully fits fine.

Same question to you as above. Cases fit fine with them these lens protectors on?
I can't imagine them interfering with cases - mine is very thin, and only sits on the inner glass itself, and not the surrounding frame. No case will come close to touching it, in my opinion.

It fit fine for all my cases (Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Supacase Unicorn Beetle and Poetic Nubuck). Even a cheap chinese one from ebay that had a split cut out for the camera/flash and fingerprint holes.

Yeah, easy. Just used scissors. The only reason you can tell is that the corners aren't rounded where I cut.

Picture Quality
I've posted a couple pictures I took last month if you guys want to check it out for any degradation just because I don't have the best eyes to really tell if there is a difference. At the same time I'm pretty rubbish at taking photos.

finger print sensor scratch easily

Anyone find that the fps easy to scratch? .. Is there any sticker protector?
I don't know that. what i do know is that if you apply a sticker protector, you won't be able to use it, because it won't detect the fingerprint. Confirmed by me.
The FPS on my S8+ scratched very easy. No issues on my Note 8 or my Note 9.

Here's a couple of low-budget suggestions,good luck:

I actually really like the Scotch tape idea. I put a matte skin on the back of mine because I wanted it to match the matte frame. Even the camera lenses glass has a matte skin on it, so the shiny fingerprint sensor kind of stood out. Now it also has a matte finish and works just as well as before! Win-win

My own personal opinion... keep the factory fitted screen protector on for as long as possible.
(Glass protectors dont work well with Ultrasonic firgerprint reader).

Mine came with one. I spent days trying to figure out why the fingerprint reader barely worked. Then I removed the screen protector which turned out to be just a thin plastic sheet. Now awaiting a TPU screen protector.
They all come with a fitted screen protector
The one that comes with it, preinstalled.

Strange, my fingerprint reader works first time, every time with the screen protector that came with it installed. If you had problems with that, I'd suggest the same will apply with any other you put on your phone.

I use esr. Cheap and works very well. No issues with finger print.
I am using the Tauri flexible TPU screen protector, have found it good up to now, easy to fit with no bubbles when i done it and fingerprint still works fine.

TPU protector arrived and was installed and the fingerprint reader still works fine without even being reprogrammed. Not sure if different factory installed protectors are installed in different markets but the one I peeled off was cheap thin flexible plastic.

IMO the Whitestone Dome is the best you can get the the S21 Ultra.

Even im looking for some quality and reliable screen protectors ,but could'nt possibly find any screen protectors that does its tasks. positively if i find any i will share my experience in this thread.
Used the uv gel glass one. Works great with fingerprint reader. Got from Amazon half price of Whitestone.
Amazon.com: (2 Pack) amFilm 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 6.8 Inch, Fully Compatible with UltraSonic Fingerprint Scanner, UV Gel Application
Amazon.com: (2 Pack) amFilm 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 6.8 Inch, Fully Compatible with UltraSonic Fingerprint Scanner, UV Gel Application
www.amazon.com
Install was easy. Might want to use a few drops from the second gel tube on the first install. That was the only thing that was a tad short on the install.
