The best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 screen protectors

While you’d think foldables like the Galaxy Z Flip 5 might present a challenge for screen protector makers, there are plenty of options out there. It’s certainly worth investing in one too, given that a few extra dollars up front could prevent damage to a $1,000-plus smartphone. With that in mind, here are the best Galaxy Z Flip 5 screen protectors we can recommend so far.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 screen protectors

Depending on your needs, you can buy kits that protect both of the Flip 5’s screens or only the outward-facing one. Since the phone is foldable, guarding the main screen is less important, but a protector there could still potentially save you in the event you drop your phone while you’re using it, or debris somehow slips in between its gaps.

• UAG Glass Shield
• UAG Glass Shield Plus
• Supershieldz (Main and Front Screen)

Spigen EZ Fit

This tempered glass protector only covers the front screen — naturally, since glass isn’t usually flexible — but what you get is a tough design with both scratch and fingerprint protection. It also comes with Spigen’s unique “auto-alignment” installation tool, meant to ensure the protector goes on right the first time. Two protectors are supplied in case something goes wrong or the first one takes a hit.

UAG Glass Shield

UAG’s tempered glass offering is extremely similar to Spigen’s, including its scratch and fingerprint resistance. In fact, if you’re choosing between the two, there’s not much to consider except cost, though UAG does bundle a very different alignment tool. Subjectively we’d rather go with Spigen’s installer, but it’s not a big enough factor to overrule any price differences.

UAG Glass Shield Plus

Typically we try to limit ourselves to one offering from each brand on this sort of list, but if you want a step up in tempered glass, there’s no reason to skip the Glass Shield Plus. It’s $10 extra, which improves the product with anti-glare and antimicrobial protection, the latter in case you’re worried about bacteria and viruses hanging around when you touch things in public. UAG’s installation tool should make the protector easy to apply.

Supershieldz (Main and Front Screen)

While more main/front protector bundles have become available since the Z Flip 5 shipped in August 2023, they’re still relatively uncommon. Supershieldz’s offering was one of the first, and remains well-rated on Amazon.

Each protector is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), so don’t expect the same smoothness or toughness as tempered glass. It’s also limited to scratch protection, but if that’s all you care about, you can get the complete kit for $11 or less — and that includes backup protectors. Supershieldz additionally promises no residue when its protectors are removed.
