The Samsung Galaxy S23 is a fragile device, covered by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back. And while the glass prevents small scratches, it doesn’t prevent large, long, and deep marks from appearing on the display. It simply lessens the chances of small scuffs from impacting your experience. Given that the Galaxy S23 is still one of the best smartphones today, the only logical step is to protect it.
Fortunately, we have several tempered glass screen protectors for you to choose from, some of which are more in the premium territory, and some of which are more affordable and do just as good of a job. As always, we recommend you pick up a case to protect the rest of the device’s chassis to help retain the value, and safeguard the body to prevent damage.

Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector For Galaxy S23
Premium pickWhitestone Dome Glass screen protectors routinely rank at the top of the field due to their rock-solid durability and unerringly precise fit.

amFilm OneTouch Screen Protector For Galaxy S23
Best valueThe most difficult thing about a new screen protector is the installation process. This is doubly true with the slightly more fragile tempered glass protectors, which can crack if mishandled. So, when something like amFilm’s Galaxy S23 9H glass protector comes with an auto-alignment tool, it increases its appeal tenfold. And at such a reasonable price, getting two lens protectors and a second glass protector is hard to pass up.

The Zagg InvisibleShield Fusion Defense isn’t tempered glass, but don’t let its flexible film fool you. Its unique hybrid polymer is plenty tough. The material is inherently antimicrobial and able to resist odor-causing bacteria. But don’t worry — the polymer isn’t terribly thick. You can still enjoy all that fancy S23 tech.

Magglass Display Guard For Galaxy S23
Magglass presents you with three tempered glass screen protectors. First is the HD option, which does its best to make you forget you installed a screen protector. But, like your screen, it’s glossy, so glare may be an issue. If you’re okay with sacrificing some contrast and color, the matte screen protector reduces glare and smudges.

Ailun Screen Protector For Galaxy S23
Ailun’s bargain buy comes with three screen and camera array protectors. And somehow, they’re 9H tempered glass.

Ringke Glass For Galaxy S23
$10 $15 Save $5The premium construction and materials of the Ringke Glass make it one of the most pleasant for everyday use.

Protect your Galaxy S23’s display with a tempered glass screen protector
You may wonder why put a glass panel on top of your Galaxy S23’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The answer is simple. While the Gorilla Glass is made to prevent everyday scratches, it’ll still shatter and crack during a fall. Cases help dampen the impact, and screen protectors are much cheaper to replace than your entire display digitizer. Both, a case and a tempered glass screen protector, can help dampen the impact, and help dissipate the shock, keeping your screen intact.
Now, if you’re looking for the best overall tempered glass screen protector that’s easy to install, and protects the screen from scuffs, scratches, and everything else, the Spigen Glas.Tr EZ Fit might be your best bet. It has a shatterproof film, and even an anti-smudge coating that prevents oils from your fingers from smudging up your screen. It comes in a two-pack, in case you’re as clumsy as I am. The included alignment kit will make the installation a breeze, preventing bubbles from building up, and it ensures a streamlined and easy installation process.
If you don’t mind spending a bit more money, then the Whitestone Dome Glass will offer even more. In essence, it’s the same tempered glass as other screen protectors. It has the same precise fit, compatibility with cases, anti-fingerprint coating, and the same hardness. What sets it apart is the UV-cured wet installation process that makes it significantly easier and smoother to install. This ensures that the installation is consistent throughout the process, making the screen protector sit as flush as if it just came out of the factory.
But perhaps you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg and are happy to do it all by yourself. The amFilm OneTouch is a 9H-rated glass protector that comes with an alignment tool to make the installation more straightforward. And while it might be the cheapest option out there, don’t let the price fool you. You’re getting a lot of value for your hard-earned cash. amFilm also includes two lens protectors, and two tempered glass panels for a fraction of the Whitesone’s cost.
