So you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10. Your phone takes everything fantastic about Samsung’s Note 10 range — the S Pen, an expansive display, and flagship specs to name but a few — and shrinks it down to a slightly smaller package that you’ll find easier to fit into your hand.
Whether you’ve just bought your Note 10 or it’s now your well-worn pocket companion, you’ll still want to keep it protected. We’ve covered the best Note 10 cases, but what about the screen? The 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is a window into your wider world, and you don’t want it to become dirty — or worse, break. A screen protector can help stop that, whether it’s a film protector to protect against dirt and scratches, or a heavy-duty tempered glass protector. Here are some of the best Samsung Galaxy Note 10 screen protectors.
Olixar Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Olixar is a brand you can trust when it comes to phone accessories, and their tempered glass screen protector for the Note 10 is no exception. It’s ultra-thin at just 0.27mm yet provides tough protection and is scratch and shatter resistant. Although it’s tough, it won’t decrease the brightness of your phone display or interfere with its sensitivity. It’s also easy to achieve a bubble-free installation as it comes bundled with a cleaning cloth, wet-wipe, and dust-removal sticker.
amFilm Glass Screen Protector
AmFilm produces screen protectors for a wide range of phones, and its 3D curve glass protector for the Note 10 is worthy of mention. Measuring just 0.33mm thin, it provides protection from scratches and scrapes and has an oleophobic coating to repel greasy fingerprints. It’s also a breeze to install thanks to the easy installation tray, wet wipes, and microfiber cloth — and a handy installation guide too. One downside to this screen protector is that it won’t work with the in-screen fingerprint scanner, so if this is something you use regularly, you might want to give this one a miss.
IQ Shield Film Screen Protector
When it comes to screen protectors that are easy on the budget, our pick is this film protector from IQ Shield. You can pick up this durable, crystal-clear film protector for just $7 — and it’s a dual pack, so you’ll have a spare to hand. Installation is easy too as a handy kit is included in the box. If you’re watching the pennies, this is the screen protector for you.
Tozo Tempered Glass Screen Protector
If you simply need strong protection, then Tozo’s Tempered Glass Screen Protector has you covered. It’s made from 9H hardness glass that should resist a wide variety of threats, and it has been treated with an oleophobic coating to resist fingerprints and oily substances. The edges match the Note 10’s curves, and it has been designed to be compatible with many cases. Thanks to the full-coverage design, it also covers the selfie camera and keeps it safe from harm, and it’s totally compatible with the in-display fingerprint scanner. The only issue is that Tozo recommends you turn on the Touch Sensitivity option to ensure full touch sensitivity, but that’s not much work to do when it costs just $7.
Skinomi Matteskin Film Screen Protector
The Note 10’s display is bright and vivid, but glare from strong lights can still obscure your view while you’re outdoors. If that’s a common problem for you, consider Skinomi’s Matteskin film protector. It’s been treated with a matte layer that reduces the chance that light will bounce from your display, making it much easier to see in strong daylight. As it’s film, it won’t be as protective as glass, but it will protect well against dirt and minor scratches, and it has oleophobic and self-healing properties too. It even resists the yellowing effect that afflicts many film protectors as they age. Best of all, it’s just $8 for a two-pack.
Magglass Privacy Glass Screen Protector
The Note 10 has so much screen it’s easy to be productive, but what if you’re doing some mobile banking, reading an embarrassing book, or are a member of a super-secret spy agency? A privacy screen protector like this one from Magglass is a great idea. It’s made from hard glass, so it’s resistant to scratches, drops, and bumps, but the headline attraction is the privacy-protecting layer. When viewed from the front, it’s clear and easy to see. But as soon as you move to an angle, the screen fades to black, protecting your privacy. Magglass recommends you turn on the Touch Sensitivity setting to reduce a loss of sensitivity. Still, if your privacy needs protecting, this is a good $17 investment.
Ringke Dual Easy Film Screen Protector
Ringke’s Dual Easy screen protector always deserves a place on our list. Being made from film, it won’t be the most protective option in the world, but it will guard against dirt, dust, and scratches. It’s thin, and doesn’t interfere with your screen’s sensitivity, look, or the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. The “easy” in the name comes from the application method, which uses four layers to ensure that dust is removed during installation, reducing the chance small particles end up between your protector and display. It’s not too expensive, which is nice, and it even comes in a dual pack so you have a replacement.
Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector
When you’re looking for total glass protection, there are few names as reliable as Whitestone. The Dome Glass screen protector utilizes hard tempered glass, so it protects well against a variety of threats. It can potentially absorb drop damage to keep your phone’s screen unscathed. It doesn’t have a simple application method, though. You need to put a layer of liquid adhesive between the protector and your screen. That adhesive then cures with the UV lamp, which creates a strong bond between the screen and protector. Because of that, the fingerprint scanner works perfectly. The liquid application can even help an already-cracked screen. The adhesive can flow into cracks and stop them from getting worse. However, all that comes at a price — the Dome Glass is expensive.
Spigen Neo Flex HD Film Screen Protector
Spigen’s film screen protector may not have any special tricks, but it is worthy of mention. A super-clear and flexible PET film offers excellent protection. The flexibility means the protector can follow your device’s curves — so fewer bubbles and better coverage. The self-healing function may qualify as a special trick, too: Minor scratches quickly fill in. The trim profile also translates to an accessible fingerprint scanner. You might struggle a bit with the wet installation method, but the process does ensure a tight fit. Compatibility with Spigen’s range of protective cases is another perk, even if this screen film doesn’t protect like glass. We like the price and its reparative properties — and it comes in a dual pack for convenience.
