The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has some fantastic hardware packed into its frame, but its most eye-catching feature is the massive 6.8-inch 1440p display. However, with great size comes great responsibility, and even with a sturdy case for your phone, a single slip can shatter the phone's screen despite its Corning Gorilla Armor covering.

However, a cheap screen protector can be worse than having none at all, so we've picked the best protectors that will actually protect your Galaxy S24 Ultra's display. We've included tempered glass, PET, and TPU options, as well as a privacy screen protector to ward off nosy neighbors peeking at your phone.

Torras makes some excellent, rugged cases, so it's no surprise its tempered glass screen protector is so well-made. Part of the reason we liked it in our review is the helpful installation frame, which makes it easy to get right the first time. It's engineered to work perfectly with the in-display fingerprint reader, and the name "Top-Notch" actually refers to the U-shaped cutout on the upper edge that keeps it from obscuring the selfie camera.

Zagg's InvisibleShield screen protectors might be plastic, but they look, feel, and offer the same protection of glass with extra flexibility. The Fusion Privacy version darkens the screen for anyone viewing your phone from both sides, above and below. It also comes with a frame for easy application, and its anti-reflective surface doesn't interfere with your S24 Ultra's display.

amFilm's S24 Ultra kit includes two tempered glass screen protectors, two lens covers (each with coverage for all cameras), and an alignment tool to make installation simple and reduce the likelihood of bubbles. An oleophobic coating reduces smudges, and the protectors are slim enough that they'll work with most cases. We didn't love the privacy-focused version, but stick to the regular tempered glass, and you can't go wrong for the price.

The Belkin ScreenForce TrueClear Curve, a premium screen protector, is a standout choice for your Galaxy S24 Ultra. Crafted from PET material, it seamlessly works with the under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. This material also ensures the display remains unscathed from scratches, scrapes, and dents, all while maintaining clarity and touch response. The package includes an Easy Align Tray for hassle-free installation. Notably, the Belkin screen guard features a built-in blue-light filter to reduce eye strain.

Made from the highest quality soft-touch TPU, ArmorSuit's MilitaryShield Max heals minor scratches on its own while reducing the risk of cracks when dropped. It's also a little different from the rest, as it extends perfectly to the S24 Ultra's corners and edges. It works with many cases, but it's also the ideal choice if you're one of the brave souls who wants to show off your fancy smartphone in all its raw, caseless glory.

ESR's pack of protectors comes with two or three covers for the display and a set of five lens covers to keep your camera clear. You get an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges, you don't lose any touch functionality, and you get the advanced protection afforded by tempered glass. An alignment tool is included for easy and accurate installation.

Spigen's Glas.tR EZ Fit kit comes with two tempered glass screen protectors and an alignment/application jig that makes installation pretty much foolproof. These screen protectors are completely clear and feature an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges and fingerprints. They're slim enough that they should work with any case.

IQShield is a go-to name for screen protection, and this kit is made for those who prefer a plastic screen cover rather than tempered glass. Each kit comes with two TPU screen protectors with self-healing capabilities for smaller scratches, and IQShield throws in some screen cleaner for good measure. The protectors are thin enough to work with practically any case.

This official Galaxy S24 Ultra screen protector from Samsung sets itself apart from most other options with its anti-reflecting finish. In our review, we found this significantly reduces glare while keeping the screen clear and protected. The only potential downside is that they're plastic protectors instead of tempered glass, which means there's not as much drop and shock protection.

Whitestone's Dome Glass EA kit foregoes the UV lamp (and raised price) and instead adds an alignment jig for easier installation. Each pack otherwise comes with two tempered glass screen protectors that are durable, thin, and resistant to fingerprints and smudges. They should work with practically any S24 Ultra case for extra coverage.

Encased's MagGlass brand is another great option if you want both protection and privacy for your S24 Ultra. The pack comes with a single high-quality tempered glass protector that cuts the display's viewing angles down so it's harder for prying eyes to see what's on the screen. It should play well with most phone cases.

This JETech two-pack comes with a handy, straightforward installation frame, to make sure it goes on without any bubbles. The camera protector keeps the lenses from getting scratched or chipped without interfering with the flash, and the whole package is as affordable as can be. The only drawback is an ultra-thin black border around the front glass, but it won't be too visible.

Broadly speaking, screen protectors come in three material types with significantly different properties. Tempered glass usually feels best to the touch and can take the brunt of the force when dropped. A good glass screen protector will crack or shatter before your S24 Ultra's Gorilla Armor does, which makes it an excellent insurance policy.

However, glass screen guards typically don't play well with under-screen fingerprint sensors, like the one in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. So, if you are buying a tempered glass film, be mindful of this drawback. You can mitigate it by re-registering fingerprints after installing the film or adding multiple scans of the same finger. Otherwise, tempered glass protectors are as good as they get.

Soft TPU films don't feel as smooth, relatively speaking, but they usually install more easily and can heal moderate scratches over time. Then there are PET films, which are basically hard plastic. PET screen protectors aren't as common as they used to be, but you can still find them, especially for phones that feature under-display screen protectors. Like PET films, TPU screen guards also don't have an issue with in-display fingerprint scanners.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra's Corning Gorilla Armor reduces reflections in addition to its protection. However, many screen protectors can interfere with this, negating this fantastic quality-of-life improvement. Therefore, anti-reflective screen protectors are more important for the S24 Ultra than for other phones.

Our top pick from Torras represents the best of glass screen protectors, delivering a nearly identical feel to the S24 Ultra's own glass screen. The installation bracket is a nice touch, and we're largely confident in the product's overall quality due to Torras's reputation for dependable smartphone cases. You can spend a decent amount less on the amFilm, though, and get something nearly as good.

If you're willing to spend quite a bit more, Zagg's screen protector offers fantastic privacy and protection. Not only does it make it hard to see your screen if viewed at any angle other than straight on, but it doesn't interfere with the phone's anti-reflective display. Don't think its plastic material is worse than glass; while it does tend to pick up fingerprints more often, it's just as protective, if not more so, thanks to the additional flexibility.

While picking a screen protector can be a little dicey when a new phone comes out, we're confident in these choices now that we've had some time to see how the materials and manufacturing all shake out. Now's also a great time to check out the selection of dependable S24 Ultra cases, which keep the entire phone's body safe and, in some cases, add convenient functionality like kickstands and card storage.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is in town, and so are some of the best tough cases to keep it safe
