It would be a shame to damage the S24 Ultra’s beautiful new display – these quality screen protectors can help
Adding a quality screen protector to your new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an affordable way to help preserve a very expensive piece of hardware. Screen protectors are pretty much a must-have for premium phones with oversized displays, but finding the perfect option can be difficult. There are countless screen protectors on the market, and not all are built to the same standard.
You basically have two major options when it comes to screen protector material. Plastic is more affordable and often comes with mild self-healing abilities to polish out scratches, but tempered glass is the superior option. You get scratch and shock protection, and a tempered glass screen protector will usually shatter if dropped – which sounds bad, but means it isn’t your phone’s display doing the shattering.
Which you choose will ultimately come down to your personal preferences, but we’ve rounded up the best of the best from both camps right here.

Encased’s MagGlass brand is another great option if you want both protection and privacy for your S24 Ultra.

It should play well with most phone cases.
Our favorite screen protectors for your Galaxy S24 Ultra
Phone cases can prevent catastrophic chassis damage, but screen protectors are equally important. I’d much rather have a scuffed chassis than a cracked screen on my phone — my current hardware is testament to that — and that’s where screen protectors come in. Adding one to your phone can prevent scratches and scuffs, and going with tempered glass can even help protect against deeper cracks or shatters.
Tempered glass is usually thicker than your standard plastic protector, and this can sometimes interfere with touch functionality. Emphasis on “sometimes,” as screen protectors are usually thin enough to not have this issue. Plastic protectors are thinner and lighter, and they’re great for protecting against everyday scratches and scuffs. However, they won’t really do anything to protect against drops or hard bumps.
With this in mind, our top choice is ESR’s kit of tempered glass screen and lens protectors. You’re not going to break the bank here, and spending an extra $16 is nothing next to the S24 Ultra’s high price. Each kit comes with two screen protectors, a set of lens covers, and an alignment jig to help with installation. This gives you coverage for all the glass on your phone, including some extra drop protection to prevent shattering.
If you’d like to spend more to ensure a clean installation, Whitestone’s Dome Glass UV adds an installation jig and UV lamp. This cures the adhesive and smooths out bubbles, giving you less room for error. Each pack comes with two tempered glass screen protectors and the installation kit.
And if you’d like to spend as little as possible and still land a great product, AACL is hard to beat. The kit comes with three tempered glass screen protectors, a set of five lens covers, and an installation jig. All for about $15, making it the best value of the bunch.
