Hello,

So this is one of those 'probably should have posted before doing it' but you should know I'm the jump first and look later type.

Anyway, I recently bought and installed a 'UV glass protector' on my phone. Basically tempered glass that sticks on to the screen with UV cured glue.

Has anyone used this here? Any issues? I'm particularly concerned about how to peel it off and whether it will damage the screen. (Yah I did do a basic bit of searching and what results I saw, did not mention any screen damage.) But still posting here for 'real' reviews.

So, anyone had any personal experience with one? Do sound off.

Thanks for your time.
 
Have to be applied with caution and make sure the gel doesn’t enter grill or block mic.

Peeling off is very easy. Waste of money as it chips or cracks easily.
 
As @blr_p suggested, IPA is the best way to remove the UV glue.
The UV screen protectors are not worth it. They can damage components if the glue seeps through and don't offer any protection at all compared to tempered glasses on flat screens.

If you have a curved display phone, it is a given that you have to be generally more careful when handling it as the options to protect its screen are more scarce. I usually stick with a simple screen guard to avoid scratches and I rock an old-fashioned leather flip cover to keep my screen relatively safe in case of accidental drops.

WorthWrap on Instagram is a good store if you have a model with few options available in online marketplaces. They custom cut and send screen guards on demand.
 
One has to be sure that the glue does not overflow and get into crevices or earpiece/mic. I had one installed myself over curved screen of Galaxy S9+ and it performed okay with cautious use. The thing is, good ones are not that cheap and you really can't do anything to fix, once the sides/borders start to detach. In short, avoid them if you can.

What concentration of IPA is safe? 99% or less? I've got a broken UV screen protector on my curved screen but worried about removing it.

I personally would not go for a concentration above 70%, better to be safe and avoid damaging the screen itself with higher concentration.
