I used the Amfilm Tempered glass protector for my Note 9, but see that their protectors for recent models go for $39. Wow. I think I paid $12 for the Note 9. With the new Gorilla glass on the Ultra, do folks think I still need a glass protector, or would a film type protector be enough? Any recommendations?
The Ultra is so expensive that I decided to get the Ultimate Shield protector x 2 with full adhesive. With 10% discount UK price is £27
Just out of interest is a screen protector needed with this new stronger glass?
To avoid the possibility of micro-scratches, I'd still invest in a good SP.

Not for sure. Some reviewers mention it exists some don't mention it at all. For now,50/50
I've never used a protector that needs UV to attach. Are this type that much better than the regular Tempered glass protectors?

No. they do not come with the factory installed protector like the S20 Ultra did. Just a thin peel off film like on the back of the phone.

I am not sure, I am using a Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass screen protector on my Note 8 and ordered the one for the Note 20 Ultra...... Whitestone Dome protectors come with a UV light in the kit and I have been very happy with them. I only had to replace it on the Note 8 1 time and it was my fault for dropping the phone.... The phone made it through it fine with zero damage to the screen, but they are expensive.
For now, I just ordered a 2-pack of the Ringke Easy Dual screen protectors for $10. I loved them on my Note 10+ and my wife's S10+.
I also used Whitestone Dome on my Note 10+. I liked it, but it certainly affected the fingerprint sensor.
I wont be spending $65 on Whitestone Dome this year (although it's 20% off right now on their site).
If there's some decent competitors to Whitestone Dome for the Note 20 Ultra, like there was for the Note 10+, I may consider one of those.
It looks like AmFilm has a UV application protector coming out:
amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, (2 Pack) UV Gel Application, Tempered Glass, Compatible with UltraSonic FingerPrint Scanner for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (2020) that's going for $39.99 at Amazon. It won't be in stock until 8/25. I just ordered the Spigen wet application film protector until the reviews come in on the AmFilm. I have the Sammy LED Wallet case so the front of the phone is mostly covered when not in use.

No, the S20 Ultra had a factory install plastic screen protector that was pretty decent.
The Note 20 ultra only has that thin plastic to protect the screen during shipping, two different animals.

The only thing I don't like about the Note 20 Ultra version is that it's the "Wing" version, so it wraps around the edges of the device. I'd prefer it stop at the edge of the screen, but it will do for now.
If anyone is interested in the dome, they've got a deal right now - 2 pack for $52. Need to use code Note20...Probably doing it myself, they are the best I've used.

They definitely will. I'm.sayijg from experience with the Note 10+ and the S10+, which both use the same fingerprint reader, that they have no effect on the fingerprint reader.
It's only affected when there's an air gap between the screen and the screen protector. These are a film that applies directly to the screen.
As we all know, Note 20 Ultra still has a curve screen(same is the newer S21 Ultra). However, has anybody every tried a slightly "smaller" (Note 20 Ultra has a 6.9" while S21 Ultra has a 6.8") but fully flat tempered glass on it and see if it'll work or not?
I have couple LG V60 tempered glass(V60 screen is 6.8") and I definitely would like to give it a try, especially considering that the front camera is at the same(relatively speaking) location.
Just want to know whether anybody has attempted this or not. Or should I look for even smaller tempered glass(next thing that comes to mind is S21+ tempered glass, which is fully flat at 6.6") instead?
Please share your experience and/or opinion. Thank you very much.
Got the UAG Monarch Series carbon fiber case for my S21 Ultra. Now just waiting on my phone lol

Looks like no one has ordered the case I’ve decided to go with, so I’ll post a small review after I use it. I ordered the Case-Mate case in Iridescent Swirl.
My personal phone is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I’m using the official Apple leather case; it’s leagues ahead of every/any case I’ve ever used for any phone. Particularly, the button tactility makes the case near perfect and a joy to use. The S21 Ultra will be a business phone so I’m looking for something that’ll at least compare in terms of quality to the Apple leather case.
Finding a case similar in quality means looking at Samsung and their official leather case, so I’ll order one when the preorder credit kicks in. But the Case-Mate case looks great (love the finish!) and it looks like it has excellent button tactility. Hopefully it’s worth its $40 price tag.
Any recommendations for a clear, thin case? I'm between:

i used my 260$ credit to get the u21 ultra "case with spen", i also order the spen separately.
now i have 2 spen. samsung should be more clear on their description. i thought case with spen means case with spen slot.
anyone know any aftermarket case with spen slot?
samsung black case with spen slot is getting boring.
Noreve.com Tradition C with 2 creditcard slots (Addiction leather), fits also perfekt to S20 Ultra case.
I have the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro and have use their case on my Note 10 Plus & Note 8 (and I think the S7). It doesn't have a built in screen protector with I didn't want anyway. Comes with a belt clip which I like having while I'm working. Solid choice for $20.

Went with official samsung leather case in black, love the camera protection and leather should feel epic in hand compared to all plastic, ruberry cases. Next will be UAG Monarch in carbon fiber, but i need to import it or wait till it be available here, also interested in pitaka magnetic cases, now I use a plate beneath the case and it gets hot when wireless charging dunno if it's bad for the phone, heat is never good.

BORING.
i already have the samsung oem case with spen slot.
i was hoping for a case with different color or clear.
I have the Samsung Case too - and agree that it would be nice to have a clear version - fingers crossed...
Nearly impossible to find asking official cases for sale in the US. Specifically the TPU case.
I've got Samsung Leather Cover
Pros:
- cool look
- the phone is very firmly attached to it
- does not enlarge the dimensions of the phone too much
- protects the island with cameras well
Cons:
- it doesn't stick out too much from the screen side, so it's a bit dangerous to put the screen down
- skin prone to scratching (damage)
- the phone sways a little when you put its back down
- it's hard to take it off the phone, I'm afraid that I will damage it when I will try to remove the phone from it
- it holds in the hand on average, but still a bit better than a bare phone
Tomorrow will try Ringke Onyx.

Thanks for this report. What has concerned me about this case, from reports here and on Amazon and Best Buy reviews is the durability. You say "skin prone to scratching...". You are seeing this already or understand that it will, with time, show wear/damage?

I use it only the second day, so it's hard to say, I try to take care and do not expose the case too much in case I want to return it to the seller (EU law, up to 14 days from buying). However, it seems to me that it will wear out quickly when you don't care where you put your phone.

I've been thinking about this myself. I've just put on a case because I know when putting the phone down, the first thing that touches the surface will be the camera module. Also since the module is just metal this time, I figure the paint will be the first thing to scuff off.
A glass protector might be a bit thick.
Don't use the full glass that covers the camera lens - the gap will cause condensation since it's not on the surface of the lens.
Skins or the aluminium ones with the cutouts should work fine.

Simply use a good case with raised guards around the cam module. It's protective lense cover is replaceable anyway. Don't use it as a finger hold...
That's all I have on the 10+ and I live in the dusty desert. Zero scratches so far.
Carefully clean with a dry microfiber cloth as needed.

Hey thanks for all your replies seeing as my case is slightly raised above the camera think I will leave the camera protector off for now..

My Bolt case has a raised 5-6 mm guard on the cam/sensor modules.
Case selection is limited for this new phone.
Check out the Zizo Bolt when it becomes available. It's my favorite case; it can take a hit, is easy to hold and use. Also has slightly raised guards for the display, good corner hit protection but still fairly compact.
I bought whitestone glass screen protector for the camera when I first removed the plastic. It has held up for the few days I've had the phone. It does cover the lens with glass so it should protect them. Had plastic film on my S10+ but came off when I wasn't looking and didn't seem like I needed the protection though as the camera is not scratched or cracked..

The hood on high dollar lens isn't there just to reduce flaring, it helps protect the lense from direct contact. Even in falls it does this quit well.
Likewise your case should have good raised protection to help avoid contact with anything.
Poor cleaning techniques are the next biggest hazard. Keep your fingers off it and use only a microfiber cloth to clean it. Dirt, sand, grit doesn't scratch it unless you rub it. Wait to clean it if you can't do it right at that moment. Use a blower bulb the remove loose sand etc before you use the microfiber cloth.

this kind of case also solve the problem of a "dancing phone" when you use it on a table
Ok just an update I thought i would try camera protection so i brought a couple they were glass type ones day time pics were not bad but night pictures i kept getting lens flare. So i took off the protector and lens flare was gone. So i thought I would let you know of my result using glass type.
Are the Whitestone Dome ones any good?
It will be good to have som addon for camera to protect.
yeah I`m waiting on my later case, the cyber edition covers the camera bump and has round cutouts for the cameras, so well see when it shows up.

I just have to say that the tempered glass ones suck. Because of the metal frame, they use some kind of strong adhesive to get the tempered glass to adhere. It's impossible to remove without the glass shattering. I managed to remove the tempered glass camera protector but it managed to scuff/scratch the matte black metal around the cameras... sucks.

Hey,
When I had my s10+, I bought the duo case incipio which protected the corners and sides of the phone because the phone case was raised a bit. I'm looking for a new case for s23 with raised edges and corners to protect the curved screen from impact if the phone gets dropped.
Incipio has released a Duo case of the S23 as well. So why not look at that again?
