Bought a tempered glass last night (link below, along with image), and it adhered perfectly, and looks amazing.
Moto G5 Plus Screen Protector, Yootech [2-Pack] Moto G5 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector [ANTI-SCRATCH] [BUBBLE-FREE][ULTRA-CLEAR] for Motorola Moto G plus 5th Generation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMY75GX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_o8g4ybG5GRYKJ
The speaker cutout at the top is wider than needed. Doesn't cover proximity sensor and looks asymmetric.
How did you put it by yourself without any air bubbles?
No matter what brand of tempered glass you buy for the G5, on Amazon or anywhere else, they all have the same size top cutout. The proximity sensor is not going to get damaged with how thin the opening is.
As for the bubbles, if you follow the directions included with any of the tempered glass these days, you should never have bubbles, otherwise, you did it wrong. Very easy to install without any bubbles.
Not necessarily. A badly made tempered glass brand will have sub par results, even with a perfect install. I'm coming from a phone with a slightly curved edge, where it was trial and error to find a good one. Thank goodness the Moto G5 plus has a flat screen <3.
I've used some "tempered glass" screen protectors that were good, but the most recent one I got for my Oneplus One seemed like really cheap glass that chips much easier (even just from hitting other stuff in my pocket like keys).
Now I've got a Moto G5 Plus on the way and I want to find out which of these dozen different brands of "9H Hardness" screen protectors are the best quality/durable - and, if the once that claim "oleophobic anti-fingerprint coating" actually work well?
I'm guessing some of the protectors actually have a good coating and some just said "let's write that so they sell better" even if they don't.
Has anyone used the fingerprint sensor one-button nav with a tempered glass screen protector on? Does it interfere in any way or make it more difficult to register proper swipes?

I got this one: http://a.co/4TGZKPS
I've had no problem with the finger print scanner or one button navigation. I even found one button nav easier since the home button is more recessed.
It went on perfectly with no bubbles and seems to have a good oleophobic coating.

I picked up the same tempered glass off your recommendation. It looks great and was easy to install. Thanks for sharing. I looked at a few others and think the Yootech was a smart choice.
Picked up the op's protector as well. It's a little annoying that the holes don't perfectly line up, but it went on without a hitch and works well.
Is this good?
I ordered it (Cash on Delivery so I can always cancel)

I picked up a 3 pack by Mr. Shield. The only complaint I have is the glass doesn't quite extend all the way to the edges, I don't mind the oversized speaker and camera cutout's
Nuglass screen protectors are available for Moto G5 Plus. I have found them to have an excellent fit and are resistant to finger prints.

Use the bathroom method... Turn on hot water in shower for about 3 to 5 min to get it steamy in there. Turn off water and let the steam settle the dust out of the air. Then apply the protector.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but 9H hardness only refers to scratch hardness and doesn't mean it will be chip or crack resistance.
I have gone through 3 different brand "tempered glass" protectors from ebay and not one has fit properly or stayed on. Even those that said 2.5d... I used to have a galaxy alpha and the first 3$ TG protector I bought from ebay worked flawlessly... Is it because it's still a fairly new phone?
I just wish the protectors fit the speaker better. Everyone single one on Amazon seems to fit slightly off
You should definitely go for Orzly Tempered Glass. I've used this brand's glass on my moto G2 and the protection was perfect. It was not too thick, so I was able to use a TPU case and have the glass installed as well.

If you're talking about the cutout for it being a little wider on the left, that is for a sensor. If you hold the phone up to the light, you can see the sensor there.

Okay now I see it. It just seems like wasted space because the sensor blends in really well.
tl;dr: I put on a LOCA screen protector, but the fingerprint scanner did not work.
So when I received my S10+, I immediately went to my nearest mall to buy a tempered glass screen protector, because I was afraid that I would drop it, and crack my shiny new phone. They showed me a LOCA screen protector and they said that it supported the in-display fingerprint scanner, and because the whitestone dome glass was also LOCA, I agreed to buy it. When I got back home, first I removed the plastic screen protector, then removed any fingerprints or dust, then I carefully put on the LOCA glue in the middle, then put the glass on, tiled it left and right to make sure the glue fully touched the glass and placed it on the table, then UV cured the top, middle, and bottom, each for 15 minutes. After it was done, I carefully used a razor blade to remove excess, making sure not to remove the glue touching the glass, then powered on my S10+. The touch was working normally, so I went into settings, searched fingerprint, and tried to register my finger, but it kept saying "Press a little harder", or "Make sure your finger fully covers the fingerprint scanner", etc. I pressed harder, but nothing happened. So I went to the mall again and decided to exchange for a plastic screen protector. So if you don't want to waste money, DO NOT BUY A RANDOM BRAND SCREEN PROTECTOR. Even if they tell you its LOCA or that it supports the in-display screen protector, don't buy it unless its a Whitestone Dome Glass or another screen protector that has been confirmed to work with the fingerprint sensor, in which case go for it.
I think even with the Whitestone Dome you had to press on the fingerprint area while curing to make sure the fp scanner worked. So I'm guessing it would be the same with the non Whitestone ones.

No need to press on the FP during curing with Whitestone. Just do some extra curing and first at the bottom.

Curing for 15mins??? Was this a personal decision on your part to cure for 15 minutes? To the second post, yes you're correct that Whitestone Dome updated their instructions to push down on the sensor in between curing sessions.

Yes, it was my personal decision since I searched up how long to cure and the search result i saw said 15 mins so I randomly decided to do that, but also see edit, I did top, middle, bottom each for 15 mins, so should've been enough, the bottom for a bit more longer. After knowing it didn't work, cured it for 2 hours, but it still didn't work.
I tried the WhiteStone on my S10+ and it didnt work too well... even after following each step to the T. The FP was hit and miss each time, became annoying really quickly so off it came
I did think it might have been an error on installation but checking out the Amazon reviews, many people have the same issue.
I think a good idead would be a Tempered glass protector with a cutout for the FP sensor which is then covered by a TPU attached to the glass
Anyway, thats me done. Taa
I installed a ''ramdom'' brand instead of White Stone because it was much cheaper and came with 2 protectors. I did press a little at the bottom where the sensor is located. And the sensor was working, but not very reliable. Now with the new update for biometrics it has improved a lot.
My experience with the Whitestone on the S10+:
My first install I got a huge bubble. This is despite having done about 5 installs on my S9+ I upgraded from. I mistakenly dropped the pin when the glue hit the arrows instead of when the glue touched the glass. I did the cleaning of the phone and glass before curing. Note: I couldn't get the absorption pads in, so it made a huge mess in the tray.
Second install was with my "cleaned" glass. The install went much better. There were two annoying but acceptable bubbles. I only noticed them on white bg or when the screen was off. The FPS was very hot or miss. Turned out there were micro bubbles barely noticeable below the FPS and below the speaker. Apparently they were causing a problem even though it wasn't where the sensor was. It was enough to throw it off. I did the 1 minute press at install. Success rate was about 2/10.
I contacted WSD about how to do a warrenty, using Facebook messenger. I was willing to pay for the replacement. I figured the error was in my cleaning of the glass. They ended up sending out the replacement for free. No pictures or anything needed.
Third install went off without a hitch. The replacement shipped with the absorption pads installed. They now hook into the top tray instead of putting into the bottom. I did the 1 minute press and cured 2 or 3 minutes each top and bottom. Success rate is now 17/20, which is just as good or better than what I got on my 9+. The latest patches seem to help a ton.
Notes:
I'd read someone say after the latest patch to redo finger prints with a little pressure as possible. This seems to have made a big impact for me.
I've read that if you're hands are dried out, that can affect things. I definitely have more problems when my hands are dried out.
Sometimes my thumb will move slightly during the scan. This results in an almost definite fail.
Lifting my thumb too fast seems to contribute to fails. If I leave my thumb on until it clears, I have almost perfect recognition.
How to do choose tempered glass screen protector for any brand mobile
One thing that comes hand in hand with a new smartphone is screen protector. Two major materials for a screen protector can either be a plastic film or tempered glass. Tempered Glass screen protector is preferred over the plastic screen protectors because it offers better protection. So, what could be some of the criteria in choosing the best-tempered glass screen protector? To help you choose the right one, I carefully selected the 4 criteria below:
Toughness
Touch sensitivity
Edge to Edge cover
Smudge-Proof
This is some key criteria when choosing the screen protector
Maybe buy a flip case and leave the Samsung fitted protector
I considered various options then decided a working fingerprint sensor was more important to me than a glass screen protector so just bought a faux leather flip cover with magnetic clasp (£2.99 on eBay)
What I noticed with the whitestone is that it takes a few days for the fingerprint scanning to get better. Its still not as good as without a screenprotector, but on day 1 i couldnt even register my fingerprint, since then every day its a bit better.
Recently purchased the whitestone dome glass and installed it. Been using it for almost a week now and fingerprint scanner works pretty well for me (95% of the time). Was hesitant due to bad reviews but gave it a shot and I'm pleased with it. I followed the instruction video on their website and installed with no problems.

I ended up buying the Neo Flex Screen protector and Spigan neo hybrid case absolute brilliant so glad I did. I've had them on now for about 2 months working in the building trade so my screen goes through a lot dust and all sorts and this screen protector has done brilliantly.

I recently got a couple of small light scratches on my s10+ i am hoping they are just on the film protector that already on the phone and not the screen itself.
I bought a glass protector on Amazon, the one on this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SZP3WRH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't really read the reviews as such at first but after i have received them noticed only 1 person had reviews that has my phone saying the finger print sensor doesn't work and also pointed out that all the other 5 star reviews had been added on the same day, so after looking again they do all seem a bit dodgy.
I have been reluctant to open the pack and try them and have opted to just get a refund instead.
I am in the uk, does anyone know any glass protectors on Amazon that are actually good and do work with the fingerprint scanner, or will only the film ones work? My only problem with the film ones is the air bubbles and also the fact i think will be awkward to fit around the corner of the screen. I assume the glass ones would just fit around perfectly?
Any help would be great
Thanks
James
The S10+ uses ultrasonic waves for its fingerprint authorisation whilst other phones use optical (light). The ultrasonic works by 'reading' the bumps and grooves of your finger, including their location and depth. Because of this technology, a glass SP would need to be mighty thin but more importantly be in full contact with the scanner area of the screen
Whitestone Dome had originally thought it managed this by using a UV activated liquid glue to eliminate any space. The trouble is as soon as you press on the FP area, the dynamic of the glass and space changes, which is enough to give an error when scanning. Whitestone recently updated its instruction to press on the FP scanner for a minute or so before fully curing. But even this is not enough to prevent the minute shifts in the glass and glue to cause an error
The reviews for the Whitestone are hit and miss (i tried it myself but it did not work well for me)....so LSS, there seems there is no feasable glass SP for the S10+ at present
Your next best option is a dry applied TPU film - there are some good 4 stage application ones where you first place it on the screen, then fold back one half and squeeze it onto the screen with a hard card, then fold back the other half and do the same. Lastly, you just remove the protective cover
It doesnt give full edge-edge coverage but works well with the FP scanner, case friendly and leaves no bubbles
Hope this helps
I second meddylad only because I also couldnt get whitestone to work what so ever. Tried 2 different times and they both times failed. Bought a zagg film which has the apply one side at a time without bubbles and it protects my front camera. Now they sent me out a glassfusion(it what they called it) got here today but havent installed it yet. Took it out to see if it was glass but it bends to easy so I'm thinking it's more like a harder plastic
Any brand that use glue with uv can work with s10. Just make sure when u install, on the finger print portion u need to push it while u dry the glue with uv light. I had done many times with success
the whitedome works.. except after a while.. bubble will form out of no where along the edge and more and more will appear from out of no where
Just curious..whats wrong with the one comes default..i think s10+ comes with default samsung screen protector..right?
Good thinking, I'll give it a go. I don't like the plastic film covers that you can buy but I'd rather have one of them than nothing at all. I'll keep this glass one on til I can find something better

I read on one of the android websites, can't remember exactly now. But they tested a few and the only one that works is a Whitestone Dome Glass. It's like $70 aud. Expensive.
Whitdom glass, I ve installed it yesterday, fingerprint works really great but I just need to Apply a bit more pressure then before, but it's a great screen protector you can't even notice it's there it does not mess up with the beauty of your screen colours and it's super high touch responsive, I like it

I confirm, I bought a tempered glass sold with glue and UV lamp on Aliexpress for less than 3 euros and it worked. As mentioned, it is necessary to press a little on the scanner area before complete drying with the UV lamp. I have no problem to unlock the phone Avoid spending your money for the Whitdom solution, there are cheaper altenatives that work just as well
Here are the steps I followed to place the screen protector: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiSUzh47_50
I just ordered a White Stone Dome for my S10+. I'll let you know how it works.

does anyone know one from aliexpress that comes with more than the basics ... like whitestone has the lining guard so its easy to line up the glass and also i believe stickers to cover the earpiece so glue doesnt get in
I installed the Whitestone on my S10+ the other day. It was a simple process to install, no issues. Followed the video they have on their site. I cured it once, pressed the fingerprint portion of the screen down and cured it again twice. I tried to register my fingerprint immediately after, and it didn't work. I promptly sent an email. I found I had to press rather hard to get the fingerprint registered. I turned up the touch sensitivity, and I've had no issues with the fingerprint sensor thus far. It works almost 100% as accurate when I had no screen protector installed. I consciously press a bit harder when scanning my fingerprint, but other than that no issues. I also registered my thumb three times in 3 different positions. This may have helped, or it might not do anything.

I bought an AmFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector from Amazon. It costs like $40 and you get 2 (I guess in case you mess one up applying it). I haven't put it on yet because I have a hybrid screen protector on my S10+ from Zagg that's supposed to be glass and plastic or some kind of film with a lifetime warranty.

good day sir, do you have a video link on how to install this glass? thanks in advance.
Ive tried WSD and some cheap versions online and tried the cure all / cure top then press hard n cure bottom and although i get some success its hit n miss....
I will wait to see what new products come out but for now the best ive found is the otao dry applied TPU

TOCOL plastic screen protector for Note 10, TOCOL [3 Pack] for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Screen Protector
I have been using almost exclusively glass protector up to now, but tired of the problem with curved screen. TOCOL really worked out.
The quality is very good. the right among of rigidity that feels solid when touching or using stylus, but also gives a bit of yielding and friction as if writing on paper. It holds up very well too, after a month, there has not been a single visible scratch. The adhesion is excellent without any delamination on edge. even once that I accidentally peeling it off when popping phone out of case, was able fully press protector back on without problem.
It also has a new (at least to me) a great idea of how it is applied... you get to see the description/video. by having a leading rigid edge to "sweep" the screen as it is applied, you won't have problem of small dust remaining on screen or misalignment anymore. quite brilliant.
and it is cheap...
How's the fingerprint
and how bad is the orange peel effect?
I've used Screen Knight protectors on all of my recent phones. Search on eBay costs around £4-5 depending on model.
It conforms perfectly to the curved screen, and is applied using water so you get a perfect screen with no chance of it being squint or getting debris underneath.
Fingerprint and screen sensitivity are unaffected. You wouldn't know it was on the phone.
My last one lasted 2 years and was literally unmarked.
Easy to remove to sell phone. Highly recommended for a phone with curved screen.

Did the spen lead marks
Tried two different tempered glass screen protector s with my S20 5G - one claiming to allow the fingerprint reader to work.
Neither work as it seems that the distance from the finger to the reader is too far (when trying to set up a fingerprint it only shows a small section, around 30%, of the print in the centre, and not enough to store/recognise it.
Has anyone found one that actually work.
PS: I have a tendency to drop my phone, so am only after a tempered glass one - I would hazard a guess that the problem does not exists with a silicon protector.
