I bought this for two main reasons: 1. I noticed some small scratches in my screen and realized I should add some protection. On my phones I usually don't bother with screen protectors. 2. The Tab S9+ kinda stinks in the sun, so something anti-reflective would be nice. The S24 Ultra I have is much easier to see in the sun so I figured this might get me closer to that.
The install isn't too bad once you know it, but the instructions aren't great and the only video I saw was a ~1 minute long video tutorial from samsung that's shot more like an ad, so you have to keep pausing and filling in the blanks yourself. Here's a basic rundown though.
Pull out the two black corner pieces, take off the sticker, and place one on the top right corner with the little bit sticking up on the top and place the other on the bottom left corner with the little bit on the bottom. Wipe down your screen, and use the provided stickers (or a fresh sticky paper lint roller) to grab dust and other fine particles off of the screen. When you're sure it's clean, pull the middle piece of plastic off the actual screen protector and place it onto the screen, sticky side down, using those plastic bits that stick up as a guide. There are holes in two corners of the plastic that go over those bits. You should line up the camera on your tablet with the cutout.
The video then has you use the white squegee tool to press down the middle part onto the tablet. If you want to avoid those lines people mention, you should avoid running it over the edges of the plastic that is still attached to the protector. When you're all set there, take up one side (left or right) and pull out the underneath piece of plastic, using the squegee to lay the actual screen protector down flat again while pulling out the plastic. Do the same to the other side and then squegee out whatever bubbles you can at that point. You can remove the black corners too.
I had the two lines and a handful of bubbles still under the protector when I was done, BUT for me they came out after a couple days and now it's how it should be.
As far as the protecor itself, it's fine. It protects the screen and it does somewhat reduce the glare, but it's not that significant.
the screen is ok, but the corner with tab for alignment to the screen keep peeling up after removing it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very hard to install left multiple bubbles which I could not get rid of. Samsung refused to replace it. I finally bought a different brand.

This is a good screen protector and I have had no issues with it except that when first applying it to the screen, it left some rather unsightly lines in the middle of the screen. This appears to be from the applicator where you have to fold it back in order to get the outside edge of the protector on the screen. We tried and tried to smooth out the air bubbles but the two lines in the middle are still visible. Otherwise, no issues.
Order arrived ahead of estimated arrival date. Once applied the screen-protector works well with stylus and finger-taps. Cleans well with ordinary lens wipes.
