Thanks for the heads up. Just checked now that I’m back with fast wifi (2.2GB download) and installing.

Wouldn't recommend it. 

The SP adds a lot of structural integrity to the display. 

Samsung replace for free. I personally would just do that. 

freitasm: Thanks.

I have had my screen protector replaced in the last month (2 Nov) See post #2990953 . Same failure mode as Mauricio’s. It started at the top, but within a day had spread right down the fold.

To clarify, Samsung will replace it the first time. After that it costs $50 (and + $30 if you replace front screen protector as well). I am lucky because the Samsung Service Plaza is only a ten minute drive away and they did it while I waited (approx 20 minutes). I know people who happily use the ZF3 without a protector, but not me.

The technician said they have a machine specifically for applying the protectors to the Fold screen.

Yes, I will try the walk-in option in Wellington as advised via PM. Likely will do it next week.

December security update is available now on Z Fold3.

Did you get your screen protector sorted?

Not yet - I wasn't sure dropping the phone just before xmas would see it coming back quickly enough. Will do in early January.

Another firmware just now with January 2023 security update.
