Samsung has established itself as a brand that constantly releases devices with stellar displays — in fact, year after year, they're considered best-in-class. With a screen that great, it'd be an absolute shame to see it cracked.
You can take a step against that by arming yourself with more than just Gorilla Glass and slapping on a screen protector. Not sure which to choose? Worry not, let me guide you through the best options.
Best Overall
Magic John Ceramic Film 2-Pack
$16.99
Maybe I watch too much TikTok, but Magic John is a familiar name. Their screen protector for the S23 Ultra is a ceramic film, so it is resistant to scratches and impacts. Plus, it comes with an installation tool for a perfect fit each time. It doesn't affect the fingerprint reader either.
Best Premium
Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass Two-Pack
$37.99
Whitestone Dome is well-known for its screen protectors and offers arguably the best for curved displays. With this, you'll get two screen protectors, an installation tool, fingerprint recognition, and no issues whatsoever with most cases you install.
Best Budget
Supershieldz TPU Protector Two-Pack
$6.99
If you just need a screen protector to guard against scratches without paying much, the Supershieldz TPU protector for the S23 Ultra is king. It's not going to save you from hard impacts, but you get two TPU screen protectors for a very low price, so it's the expected value.
Samsung S23 Ultra Film Screen Protector
$14.99
If you like TPU protectors and you like first-party offerings, this is the best intersection of both worlds. Samsung's official TPU protector comes with an installation tool and will protect your screen against scratches and excessive fingerprints. Of course, it won't hamper using your fingerprint sensor either.
ZAGG InvisibleShield Fusion Curve
$28.49
Tempered glass for curved screens isn't incredibly common, but ZAGG's screen protector uses "hybrid polymer", which comes pretty close. The surface is treated so your finger glides across it, making it easy to wipe away smudges. Plus, it comes with a installation tool for perfect alignment each time.
amFilm Tempered Glass Protector Two-Pack
$28.99
amFilm's tempered glass screen protector for the S23 Ultra gives you two protectors with an installation took, with two glass camera lens protectors added to the mix. It has an oleophobic coating to reduce the appearance of fingerprints and the sensor under the screen should work just fine.
Mohave Privacy Screen Protector Two-Pack
$29.99
It's fine when people look over to admire your S23 Ultra, but what about when they're trying to see what you're doing on it? A privacy screen protector like this two-pack from Mojave limits what you can see from angles, so only you, straight on, can see your screen. It comes with an installation tool too!
Spigen NeoFlex
$14.99
If you default to Spigen cases with every phone you buy (like me), you'll want a screen protector guaranteed to be compatible with them, and the Spigen NeoFlex is exactly that. This two-pack of TPU film is easy to install and uses a wet installation process, though without a tool to guide you.
Samsung's Stellar Screen Should Stay Secure; One Of These Screen Protectors Will Help
That's a selection of what I consider to be some of the very best options you can get for your S23 Ultra. Protectors for curved screens are hard to get right, but these are the best of the bunch, and they should certainly save your neck from accidental drops.
