Literally just dropped my phone for the first time from shoulder height.

The slapping sound from the phone hitting the floor was so loud I thought GG liao.

S pen popped out but other than that no physical damage upon thorough visual inspection.

Ringke Onyx is field tested liao for shoulder height drop (~1.5m) onto a flat tiled surface, don't really recall how it hit the floor due to panik but most likely flat on the front.

I have the ringke onyx too, feels very similar to spigen liquid air in terms of material used, but I end up liking liquid air more because its more rounded, the onyx feels more boxy.

Metropolis for style and sleekness, Pro for ruggedness and atas feel....

Physical inspection passed, no damage to externals.

But dunno about internals such as cable connections and camera (no time to test yet).

Happy to report the whitestone dome glass protector for s23 ultra works brilliantly.

No impact to fingerprint scanning speed. I had to use the phone screen naked for 1 week, so comparing the before and after whitestome dome application was easy.

Hit rate is 100% and as fast as a naked screen.

Application process is simple and all the extra mechanical parts they provide for the install are well thought through with guaranteed success

Decided to switch from a generic TPU screen protector to Whitestone following this post. This is for my S23U. It has been 3 days. Agree that it works really well. I was most worried about fingerprint recognition. I had to re-register my prints following the switch but the detection has been rock solid. 100%. And of course, all the benefits of a glass screen protector applies. Buttery smooth, etc.
