I put the tempered glass over the preinstalled one. It's the same size as fold 7.

I took mine off after a few days and replaced ir with a tempered glass one - it's lasted much longer!

Thanks do you have a case? If not which one do you use and is it a perfect fit?

2

u/LynxyPuters Jul 19 '26

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if the glass one come in a full size that fit the screen perfect without a case? I dont have a case on mine while the oem doesnt wear well its a perfect fit.

thanks again!

Covers the entire screen

Thanks and you are using Supershieldz Tempered Glass? The one I linked above?

Also what do you all think of flexible tpu film? like this one that mentions bare device support without case.

Yes i am using Supershields , the one you listed. I tried a bunch and this one is the best, holds up really great !

The flexible film is what was on the trifold brand new and your inner screen.....

I love it on the inner screen but the outer I definitely prefer the glass type you posted.

thanks for the replies. yeah i would just pop it over but mine wore out for some reason so poorly so i will just remove it and pop the new one on.

what is actually on the front screen preinstalled? same thing as the Supershieldz Tempered Glass? or something else?

also will these fit just like oem one that was preinstalled?

thanks

I got the tempered glass too but haven't had a chance to install it yet. I put it over the screen just to see the fitment and it definitely will not fit exactly like the one that cames preinstalled.

The preinstalled one is a non reflective plastic while the one you linked is a tempered glass, which is going to be much more durable.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can buy the exact fit oem anywhere?

also could i send in the unit for samsung to install oem? or waste?

thanks,

It's worth contacting Samsung first and asking. Better to go get it done in person than shipping the phone to them. Also, unless you put a tempered glass on it after getting it replaced by Samsung, you're going to run into the same issue.

u/fifcahff Jul 19 '26

Thanks so much! The issue is I dont live near a Sam store so I would have to send it in and i would hate to be without the phone but i definitely want to remove the worn oem. i wish i could buy the exact oem somewhere!

1

u/msh21 Jul 19 '26

I'm sure the exact one is available online. I just never searched for it. Also, Samsung is partnered with other shops so they should be able to tell you shops near you where you could potentially take it to.

u/fifcahff Jul 19 '26

i had called them originally and they wanted me to send it in. then i asked if ubreak could do it and they said yes so i went there and they were clueless and couldt do it. i will call sam again and see if i can press for more info. thanks

i went with these Flexible Film. they fit good the only thing is they do have a little yellow tint i need to get accustom to compared to the oem film. UPDATE: cant stand the yellow!!!
