Rock Model Number Screen Protector Review: 2-Pack for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G (6.8 Inch)
Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a stunning 6.8-inch display, making a good screen protector a must-have. This review focuses on the Rock Model Number 2-pack screen protector, which includes both a standard HD tempered glass protector and a privacy screen protector. After several weeks of use, I’m ready to share my in-depth experience.
Features
This dual-pack offers two distinct screen protectors: a standard HD tempered glass protector and a privacy screen protector. The standard protector promises 9H hardness, 99% transparency, and an oleophobic coating to resist fingerprints. The privacy protector aims to keep your screen’s contents private from prying eyes, only visible directly in front of the screen.

Performance
Installation of both protectors was relatively straightforward, although aligning them perfectly did require some patience. The HD protector lived up to its claims; the screen clarity remained excellent, and the touch responsiveness was unaffected. Fingerprints were minimal thanks to the oleophobic coating. The privacy screen, however, presented a different experience. As advertised, it significantly reduced visibility from the sides, making it ideal for use in public spaces. However, it did noticeably dim the screen, requiring an increase in brightness. As noted in the product description, fingerprint unlocking was disabled when the privacy screen protector was applied – a significant drawback for many users.
I used both screen protectors extensively, subjecting them to daily wear and tear, including accidental drops (thankfully, onto soft surfaces!). Both held up remarkably well, showing no signs of major scratches or damage. The 9H hardness rating appears to be accurate. However, the privacy protector’s impact on brightness remains a trade-off to consider.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Easy installation, excellent screen clarity (HD protector), good scratch resistance (both protectors), effective privacy protection (privacy protector).
- Cons: Privacy protector reduces screen brightness significantly, privacy protector disables fingerprint unlocking, installation requires patience for perfect alignment.
Final Verdict
The Rock Model Number 2-pack screen protector provides a good value, especially considering the inclusion of both a standard HD and a privacy screen protector. The standard protector performs flawlessly, offering excellent protection and clarity. The privacy screen protector effectively enhances privacy, but the screen dimming and fingerprint unlock incompatibility are important considerations. Overall, I would recommend this product for users who value privacy, but are willing to compromise on brightness and fingerprint unlock functionality. If you prioritize uninterrupted fingerprint unlocking and prefer maximum screen brightness, the HD protector alone might be a better choice.
