Purchase two of these for two Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras. One bubbles up down the right side of the screen. The other was ok until one drop and the screen protector protected itself and not the screen.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear about this unusual situation with your Alpha Flex screen protectors. We're sad to hear your Galaxy S21 5G suffered from such damage under the watch of one of our products. With that said, while we design our screen protectors to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. While we cannot extend our warranty to your device, as we are not the manufacturer, we would love to send you a brand-new case so you can get a fresh start once your phone is repaired. Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help. Kindly, OtterBox Customer Support
Worst screen protector ever and impossible to install without imperfections. A complete waste of my money. The screen protector was very difficult to get off of the template and would not align with my phone properly. Now I have a screen full of bubbles and I can't even use my fingerprint sensor. I have always loved my OtterBox products, this one not so much!

We're so sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience with the Alpha Flex screen protector. We understand how annoying those imperfections on your screen can be. We specifically designed this product to work seamlessly with the unique features of your device. If you're having some trouble with your fingerprint senor, we recommend going into your device setting, clearing your fingerprint history, and resetting it with the screen protector applied to your phone. As far as those imperfections go, you should be able to remove those bubbles by gently pushing them to the edge of your screen. If these issues continue, please give our CS team a call at 1-855-688-7269 and they'd be happy to troubleshoot things with you or set you up with a replacement Alpha Flex if needed.
I cannot believe I could not get the protector on my phone. I was determined not to mess it up so I read the instruction carefully , several times. It seemed oh so simple, or so it was supposed to be. I did not consider myself a nincompoop until I was done in by a screen protector. Now my poor phone is unprotected, sorry lil buddy. I thought by spending the extra money and buying a Name I totally trusted all would be well but I indeed was very wrong. I must now go invest in some bubble wrap and therapy. I beg you, do not suffer the same mistake I have.

We're so sorry to hear your experience with the Alpha Flex screen protector was like something out of a bad dream. We've no doubt you did everything 100% as it should have been, so perhaps there was just something wonky with your particular unit.

Otter needs an updated video on YouTube. The old videos do not apply to the new plastic alignment mount.

We're so sorry that you had such a disappointing experience trying to install the OtterBox Alpha Flex.

I recently bought this product. Installation did not go well. The final peeling off of the strip pulled the protector off. And removal at the ends ripped it. Will never buy again, do not recommend. at all. poor quality design application. might protect screen well, I do not know.

I've always heard good things about Otterbox but never their screen protectors, and now I know why, atleast for this one in specific. The case design for your phone to sit in while you apply the protector is smart and intuitive, but the tab adhesive for the top part of the protector when you go to peel it off was FAR too strong for its own good, and stuck to the screen protector as I tried to peel it off. Came to find out that the adhesive was connected so greatly to the screen protector that it ripped off part of the top of the protector as I tried to take it off, and then it proceeded to peel off the rest of the protector from the phone, well after I had let it set in place. This led me to having to push all the bubbles out again, scratching up the front of my screen protector. This was not worth the money at all in my opinion and I'm very frustrated that I bought this thinking it would be a good product.
