struggling to find one for this phone. I have bought 2 so far, first one just had a bead of sticky stuff round the edge and wasn't perfectly flat on the screen so the touch was unresponsive.
second one said it was "full glue" but again was only sticky around the edges and slightly curved, the amount of curve is incredibly small. not even fitted it as I can't see it working, it won't even stay on for more than a week
does anybody know where I can buy a flat, full glue screen protector that will fit? 
I had this problem with my old S8 which had an even more curved screen, and as a result smashed 3 screens in 3 years because I couldn't get a screen protector to fit so it's something that I need to have really

    3 screens in 3 years would indicate you are fairly clumsy.. ;) You may be better off with a flip case that covers the screen when not in use. 
    My first Samsung phone was the Galaxy S2, I'm now on the S21 and have never used a screen protector and all of the phones survived intact.
    There are also 360 degree covers like this....

    Just in case anyone else is interested I did find a solution, The iPhone XS screen protector is a much better fit, it covers more of the screen.
    it doesn't have a cutout for the camera (I've not noticed a problem with it yet)
    theres a cutout for the XS speaker in near the top of the screen which is not necessary but thats the only downside


    and heres the old (S10e Specific) one laid over the top so you can see how much smaller it is

    the smaller s10e one made it difficult to swipe to the edge of the screen, when watching a youtube video if I tried to drag the slider to go back to the start of the video it never worked, furthest it'd go back was to the edge of the screen protector
  • If you've had 3 smashed screens in 3 years I'd suggest a protective case is more useful than a screen protector. If you drop a phone, odds are it will land on a corner and that shock is usually what cause a screen crack. 

    Screen protectors are more for prevent scratches than crack of the screen.

    As above, a lot of people thing that a screen protector, particularly glass screen protectors will prevent screens from breaking, they won't.

    If you're that accident prone that you are continually breaking an screen, particularly a Gorilla Glass screen then you definitely need a case, one which will protect the corners/sides of the phone. I've had numerous Android phones over the years and the only time I've cracked a screen was with an old phone that had been bashed around over the years and finally gave up the ghost when I dropped onto a hard kitchen floor when I was cleaning it without it's case on.

    I've yet to smash a screen when the screen protector is on. smashed plenty of them when dropped . Hazards of working with a phone, a big bulky flip case is just not an option

    Who said anything about a flip case, a bumper style case that just covers the back and edges is usually enough to protect from breakages when dropping.
