The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone, and it’s truly a beast of a machine. Featuring a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, four rear camera lenses, a silky 120Hz refresh rate, and support for the S Pen, it will do pretty much everything you want it to do. If that weren’t enough, it also looks gorgeous, boasting ultra-fine bezels around its edge-to-edge display, as well as a redesigned camera nodule that looks very sharp.
Of course, it won’t remain gorgeous if you drop or damage it. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of the best Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra screen protectors on the market right now, so that any accident that befalls your new phone won’t spoil its good looks.
Olixar Case Compatible Glass Screen Protector
Here’s a screen protector made of high-tension tempered glass with a 9H hardness rating. It will protect the S21 Ultra’s screen from all manner of scratches and scuffs, while its 0.3mm thickness (or should we say thinness) preserves the full clarity of the phone’s beautiful display. Aside from that, the main draw of the protector is that it follows the contours of the phone’s screen, while leaving just enough spaces around its edges so that it fits with the vast majority of cases on the market. The case comes with a microfiber cloth so that you can wipe your phone clean before installation. It has also been designed to allow full compatibility with the S21 Ultra’s fingerprint scanner.
Supershieldz High Definition Clear Shield
This S21 Ultra screen protector from Supershieldz is made of high-quality TPU film, which protects the phone’s screen while retaining a high degree of touch-sensitivity and clarity. While film protectors are often considered less durable than glass alternatives, this particular item is made from optical grade crystal film, which is structured into three layers to provide the maximum possible strength. It is, in other words, as strong as a film protector is likely to get, while the fact that it doesn’t use an adhesive means that you can apply and remove it without any fear of marking your screen. Comes in a pack of two.
Pulen Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Pulen’s Galaxy S21 Ultra screen protector helpfully comes in a pack of two, while it also throws in two camera lens protectors for good measure. It’s another tempered glass protector, with its 9H hardness rating indicating that it can withstand scratches from metal objects without endangering the S21 Ultra’s display. It also incorporates a hydrophobic and oleophobic coating, protecting the device from sweat and oil. The use of laser-cut glass also means that it fits the device very well, while it provides a very good level of transparency and responsiveness. Helpfully, it uses bubble-free adhesives, so installation isn’t as difficult as it sometimes is.
ESR Liquid Skin Full-Coverage Screen Protector
If you want to ensure the fullest possible transparency, while also avoiding any interference with the S21 Ultra’s fingerprint scanner, then this protector from ESR is possibly your best bet. It’s made of flexible polymer film, making it durable as well as thin and transparent. The use of film also ensures that the protector will be compatible with any case you might have for your S21 Ultra, which isn’t always the case with some of the thicker tempered glass protectors. Most impressively of all, the protector is also capable of self-healing minor scratches, so you don’t have to change it every time you pick up a light scuff. Comes in a pack of three.
Feitenn Tempered Glass Protector
While it may be pricier than the other protectors on this list, Feitenn’s Galaxy S21 Ultra screen protector is possibly the best overall. It’s made of tempered glass with a 9H hardness rating, making it anti-scratch and anti-shatter. At the same time, it uses liquid optical clear adhesive (LOCA) to ensure that the S21 Ultra’s fingerprint scanner isn’t interfered with at all, while it boasts up to 99% transparency, meaning you’ll hardly know it’s there. The case has been designed to cover the phone’s entire screen, including rounded edges, so that the risk of damage is kept to a minimum. Its adhesive has also been designed to be air bubble-free, so installation shouldn’t be a problem. Comes in a pack of two, and includes dust removal stickers and a microfiber cloth.
