  ArmorSuit Anti Glare Screen Protector 2 Pack for Z Fold 5
  

  If you aren’t a huge fan of tempered glass screen protectors, you’ll want to check out the ArmorSuit Matte anti-glare screen protector. Not only does it protect your device’s inside and outside displays from scratches and dings, but the matte design offers fantastic anti-glare technology to help repel light and fingerprints, too. TPU can be just as durable as tempered glass, giving you the same peace of mind without the fear of cracks forming in the protector.

Finalizing your screen protector choice for your Galaxy Z Fold 5

As you can see above, not every manufacturer caters to both the cover display and the interior panel. It’s ultimately up to you whether or not the larger foldable screen warrants its own protection, but you absolutely should consider a film or tempered glass for the cover display. My recommendation is to play it safe with my best overall pick, IMBZBK’s screen protector for the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This protective multi-pack comes with a TPU film for the 7.6-inch main display, a tempered glass shield for the cover screen, and even a guard for the phone’s trio of lenses.

If you want to sink all your worry into that very vulnerable top display, then my premium pick, ZAGG’s InvisibleShield Glass XTR2 Screen Protector, is the way to go. Zagg spared no expense with this glass guard, which features Hexiom impact technology that secures the screen with a fortified layer of shock absorption. Other perks like blue light filtration and anti-reflection will actively enhance your experience with the Z Fold 5.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to save some money on your screen protector, especially with a brand like Spigen on the market. This best-value tempered glass protector does everything you could need it to with a precision mold that covers every active inch of the cover display. It’s also one of the easiest glass screens to install, thanks to the included auto-align installation kit.

Things to consider when installing your Galaxy Z Fold 5 screen protector

Depending on which screen protector you buy, there may be a variable or two that changes how your Galaxy Z Fold 5 screen protector is installed. However, the general steps and prep are typically the same.

Before installing your protector, it’s important to understand that it’s a delicate process that requires patience and precision. If this is the first screen protector you’ve ever installed, be sure to follow these steps carefully before proceeding:

• Clean all surfaces near your “working area” to minimize dust
• Make use of any tools provided and use as directed
• Follow any instructions carefully, reading each step thoroughly before progressing
• Keep pets and children away while installing
• Screens must be clean, dry, and dirt-free
• Always ensure the camera notch is aligned properly with the lens
• Do not touch any exposed adhesive
• Bubbles are common — push them out carefully
• Never put too much pressure on the display
