I see. For my s7 edge I went to taobao to find those plastic kind, i.e. not rubber kind, cos it's clearer. The one Samsung is pasting for free is not bad too.

tb has the "liquid" kind now and it fits snuggly on the screen. doesn't collect dust and no sensitivity issues

Warning:
Please do not buy samsung s9. Exynos 9810 performs worse and have significantly worse battery life than last year snapdragon 835.
quote from Anandtech review of samsung s9 exynos

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12520/the-galaxy-s9-review/12
While the performance advantage of the Snapdragon 845 variant over the Exynos 9810 variant is something we could live with, the battery life results of the Exynos is definitely a deal-breaker. I’m not sure of the root cause here and whether it’s something that can be fixed by software, but showcasing such a battery runtime regression over its predecessor is universally something that we can all agree on as not acceptable for a flagship device. Based on our testing, it’s especially in heavy use-cases where this will most evident. The Snapdragon 845 variant performed as expected in the battery life tests.

For readers in markets with the Exynos variant I need to take a slightly different tone. Make no mistake as I say that the Exynos S9 is by far not a bad phone. If you come from older generation devices you will see significant upgrades, but as a flagship coming at a price premium we expect a no-compromise device, and here is where the Exynos S9 doesn’t tick all boxes. The battery life regression that we measured is the single most concerning aspect of the device. Here buyers will need to consider the device with caution and well-thought out consideration and should maybe apply a wait & see approach over the coming months – for one to see if Samsung resolves the issues via software, and secondly, to await the release of competitor’s new product lines for possible better alternatives.

My S9+ doesn't give me the option for fast charging in the settings at all. Really strange... Anyone else have the same thing? It's a feature I cannot use at all.
