Best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protectors in 2023

Outfit your new Galaxy S22 Ultra with a worthy screen protector to keep it safe

Among the numerous phones Samsung releases yearly, the Galaxy S-Ultra lineup sits atop the ladder. It represents the latest and most remarkable features the company has to offer in a smartphone. And as you'd expect, it's not cheap. But this isn't an issue, considering every model always stands tall as one of the best Samsung phones, even after spending years on the market.

That's why despite this year's version taking the Android market by storm and drawing all attention to itself, the older S22 Ultra remains a superb smartphone worth owning. And as a proud owner, you'll want to keep it ever so flawless and unharmed. So, we recommend padding and reinforcing its front, sides, and back with a splendid S22 Ultra case — and one of the best screen protectors in our collection below.

This protector markedly reflects Whitestone Dome's reputation for making excellent glass screen protectors. It's a 9H-hard tempered glass that doesn't obscure display quality and works with the 22-Ultra's on-screen fingerprint sensor. It uses a UV-cured adhesive to fit perfectly onto your screen without wrinkles or bubbles. Plus, its precise installation frame makes application a breeze. It also comes as a pack of two in case the first protector gets damaged during the application or in the line of duty.

Zagg's InvisibleShield Fusion Defense protector is not made of glass. Rather, it's made of a hybrid polymer that, although it feels like glass, is much more flexible. It's clear, scratch-resistant, and shatterproof. Moreover, it doesn't mess with your screen sensitivity, and it works perfectly with the on-display fingerprint sensor. It's almost like the perfect screen protector, except that it is quite expensive and cannot be used with thick cases, considering how wide it is.

Looking for a superb screen protector that doesn't cost too much? ArmorSuit's MilitaryShield has got you covered. It's a transparent, scratch-resistant, self-healing TPU protector that can be gotten at a low price. It's flexible and doesn't turn yellow or become cloudy. And it is thin, so it doesn't increase the bulkiness of your device. However, not being a tempered glass protector, it doesn't offer any real drop protection. But that's okay since the 22 Ultra's screen is considerably resilient against drop damage.

Most things from Otterbox get high marks, and the Alpha Flex screen shield is no different. It's a thin, flexible TPU protector that offers utmost scratch and drops protection without compromising touch response. Although it isn't the absolute best in damage protection, it's cheaper than better options. Plus, it integrates a blue light filter for reduced eye strain. Nevertheless, you should only get this protector if you're comfortable altering your display's color profile semi-permanently.

amFilm's screen protector is a 3D curved tempered glass with a hardness rating of 9H. It uses UV-cured adhesive and liquid dispersion technology to allow for a bubble-free installation. Its fingerprint area is delimited, so it works well with the on-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor of the S22 Ultra. It's also crystal clear, scratch-resistant, and easy to install. Furthermore, it comes in a pack of three protectors, giving you two extra lives of exceptional protection for your display.

Mowei's screen protector is a 9H-hard, scratch-resistant, and shatterproof tempered glass that uses a UV-cured liquid installation to achieve an edge-to-edge protective seal of your S22 Ultra's display. It works well with the on-screen fingerprint sensor when applied correctly and set under the UV light for 8–10 minutes. Additionally, to foster a stress-free application, it comes with a unique anti-overflow tray that keeps the excess adhesive from creeping over your screen's edges and into your buttons, speakers, or ports.undefined

"You don't need to spend a fortune to get a high-quality tempered glass protector" – AACL took this statement to heart, creating this S22 ultra screen shield. It's a 9H-hard, 0.26mm-thin tempered glass protector, which comes with an alignment frame and a non-slip mat for easy, stress-free application. Unfortunately, while it's undoubtedly an excellent protector for its price, it has flaws. A major one is its lack of a selfie camera cutout, which can obscure the quality of selfies.

Spigen is highly recognized for making top-tier protective accessories for smartphones. And this time, they've come up with a non-glass screen shield for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. It is crystal-clear, doesn't cause glaring or rainbow effects, and protects your display against all forms of scratches without increasing the bulkiness of your device. Additionally, being very thin, it works perfectly well with the on-screen fingerprint sensor. But on the flip side, it offers little to no protection against drops and impacts.

The IMBZBK screen protector is made of flexible plastic (TPU). It's crystal clear, offers great scratch protection, and is compatible with most cases. Thanks to its thin build, it plays nicely with the S22 Ultra's under-display fingerprint sensor and doesn't add to the bulkiness of your device. Additionally, it comes in a package of three screen protectors and three high-quality camera lens protectors for more extensive phone safety.

Supershieldz is known for making the most affordable, high-quality screen protectors. And although this S22 Ultra variant doesn't quite depict such a reputation, it's still a solid option. It's a super thin TPU screen shield with multiple protective layers to protect your screen against scratches. It also works fine with the under-display fingerprint scanner. Nonetheless, it has some defects. It causes a bit of glare in direct sunlight, and installing bubble-free is less convenient than other options.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra boasts a design that is nothing short of captivating. With its elegantly curved front, back, and sides, along with its stylus-inclusive bottom and distinct camera bumps, this device is sure to catch your eyes and hold you spellbound once it touches your palms. It's no surprise that Samsung retained this stunning design, with only subtle refinements, for the more recent S23 Ultra. Still, there's more to this phone than its aesthetic appeal.

The S22 Ultra is crafted from resilient materials that defy even the harshest conditions, as evident from the rigorous PBK durability test. This means your S22 Ultra's inherent strength is enough to pull it through unexpected rough moments and keep it alive. Therefore, it only takes a little extra effort (getting a top-notch screen protector and case) to ensure it remains flawless and unharmed.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra's curved display is undeniably aesthetically pleasing. But at the same time, it's the reason manufacturers struggle to make screen protectors that fit precisely. And because of this, one would expect a very minimal selection of well-crafted screen protectors for it. Surprisingly, that's not the case, thanks to its popularity. A handful of exceptional S22 Ultra protectors are available, and we have curated the very best in our collection. So which one should you go for?

Well, if you're a fan of tempered glass protectors, the typical options would be the Whitestone Dome, amFilm, and Mowei screen protectors. They all use UV-cured adhesives to stick onto your screen, providing true edge-to-edge protection for your display. For roughly the same amount, they are crystal clear, resistant to scratches and cracks, and compatible with the under-display fingerprint scanner of the 22-Ultra.

However, of the three, the Whitestone Dome protector stands out as the preferred choice. Similar to the Mowei screen protector, it comes with an installation frame for easy application, and like the amFilm protector, it also comes in multiple pieces (two). It gives you the best of both worlds at about the same price. That being said, the Whitestone Dome protector may still be above your budget. So, you can consider going for the much cheaper but nearly-as-good AACL tempered glass protector. But bear in mind that it lacks a selfie camera cutout, which can mess with the quality of your selfies.

On the other hand, if you prefer non-glass protectors, there's no better option than the premium Zagg InvisibleShield screen protector. It provides the same level of protection against scratches and cracks as a typical tempered glass protector. However, being made of a hybrid polymer, it's a lot more flexible. Nevertheless, it comes at a higher price. Conversely, if you desire extreme thinness and flexibility in a non-glass protector and prioritize scratch protection over drop and impact resistance, the ArmorSuit, Spigen, IMBZBK, and Supershieldz protectors offer excellent value. Another worthy option is the Otterbox TPU protector. But note that it incorporates a blue light filter, which means you should only opt for it if you intend to have your display's color profile altered semi-permanently.
