Which screen protectors work best with the S26 Ultra ultrasonic sensor?

Question

So I finally snagged the S26 Ultra and I'm stressing about the screen protector situation because that ultrasonic sensor is always so finicky. I was looking at those Whitestone Dome ones since everyone says they are the gold standard for Samsung but then I saw a bunch of reviews on Amazon saying the new sensor on this model still struggles with the glue layer. My logic was that maybe I should just go with a basic TPU film but I drop my phone constantly at work so I really need actual glass protection. Im based in Chicago so I can get most brands pretty fast but I dont wanna waste 50 bucks on something that makes my fingerprint useless... has anyone found a glass one that actually registers every time?

Jumping in with some data. Im very satisfied with amFilm OneTouch Tempered Glass Screen Protector for S26 Ultra 2-Pack because its 0.33mm profile ensures the ultrasonic waves register without lag. It works well and is a better budget choice than expensive UV kits. Just toggle the touch sensitivity setting in your menu. TL;DR: amFilm is cheap and works because the thin glass doesnt block the sensor.

Regarding what #2 said about amFilm being a solid budget choice, I totally agree. In my experience, the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector for S26 Ultra is the most reliable for safety and ease.

Register your thumb twice after installing.

Use the alignment tray so the sensor lines up.

Dry installs are way safer than messy UV glue, trust me... I've seen too many installs go wrong over the years, tbh.

I'm very satisfied with my current setup. After a methodical installation, the glass one I got works perfectly. It registers every time, so I definitely recommend sticking with glass protection.
