Galaxy note screen protector Master thread - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories

Looked around and didn't see one of these . I like the one thread for cases and figured maybe one for screen protectors might be nice do people looking to buy one.
Post which one you have on your note currently and any others you have tried and your thoughts .
Link to where you bought would be nice. Pics are a bonus but not required.
Mainly I'm interested in people who have tried more than one the the sgp screen protectors . I think ultra fine would be nice or the crystal clear.
Post away guys n gals :-D

I'll be at my 8th screen protector soon. Nothing I have found can match the true awesomeness of the 3M Estoc+ screen protector that I had on my SGS2. If these 3 that are coming next week fail me, I guess I have to go grab an iPad one and bring it to a store to get it lasered down to the correct size.

which have u tried so far and thoughts on them. Which are on order

Well there are some not worth mentioning, came free and I believe the brand was Nilkin. So I'll just show the links of the ones I've tried:
http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/COLORANT-MADE-IN-JAPAN-IPHONE-4-4S-SAMSUNG/404955809
It's a cheaper SGP Ultra Oleophobic, comes with 2 pieces and it's kinda okay I guess. Coating comes off after about a month of use.
http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/3M-ANTI-GLARE-SCREEN-PROTECTOR/405018828
Terrible. Simply terrible matte screen protector. The rainbow effects are off the charts, although feel is good.
http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/SGP-STEINHEIL-ULTRA-OPTICS-SCREEN/405134076
It's still one of the more decent SGP screen protectors. Ultra Optics is still superior to most that were available at the market a few months back.
Upcoming

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=234928625
All 3 of them should be coming soon and I'll be testing them side by side with 2 other Note users, so I can get a better comparison. The other 2 brands are quite well recommended on random Korean blogs, and the 3M one is not too shabby when I used it on a friend's SGS2.

So that first link isn't actually an sgp screen protector? I wanna try sgp ultra fine since a prefer matte . Also ultra optics seems nice.

Ultra Fine takes too much in display clarity. I would say it cripples your display compared to the Ultra Optics.

3 months of sgn.. for 1 month i tried some screen protectors, they all fail,bad slide and feels just bad
2 months without screen protection and i'll stay this way, no scratches even if i used the s-pen a lot (screen protectors got ruined by the pen )
ill just give a last try to the glass screen protector

got my note now since 3 months. i was searching for a cover or bag or something similar, but found nothing really fitting my needs. so i wear my note always in my pocket without any cover and screen protector and it's still looking like new.

Ordered a set of SGP Oleophobics. How does it feel?
I'm still looking for that matte screen protector with minimal display deterioration.
Matte screen protectors just feel so different and looks awesome.

What screen protector helps reduce glare? Very hard to read G Note outside.
Thanks

Matte screen protectors but they reduce screen quality ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997

Sgp ultra optics is perfect balance between clarity and fingerprint reduction.
However its downfall is if you clean it too many times using a damp cloth or any sort of cleaner, it loses its amazingness. Smudges and smears become impossible to wipe. I use 1 a month and put a new one on then.
If you wipe it down using only a microfiber cloth twice a day it will hold up fine.

I installed the Realook Crystal Clear a few days ago. Looks gorgeous and installed very well. I received 2 screen protectors, and 4 rear camera protectors.

Any insight on the best Matte screen protector I could get?
Because:
-Anti-finger print doesn't wear off
-Good outdoor view
-Amazing texture
-Looks awesome
Display should get deteriorated but there should be atleast one high quality matte protector out there that does it in a minimal way.
any insight?

If you are willing to cut it down yourself, the 3M Estoc+ fits your requirement.

I wonder how much clarity you loose with the sgp ultra fine? Seems like a good contender to the 3m one suggested above?

Steinheil Screen Protectors Out for Thunderbolt

Just an FYI as I know I like to have my screen protector on the day I purchase my phone. Steinheil has all three of their major products for the Thunderbolt now available. Just ordered mine.
Ultra Crystal, Ultra Fine and the Ultra Oleophobic.
I will have to say that I have tried a ton of different protectors in my time and nothing compares to Steinheil.
Crossing fingers for a TB release tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads upon these, I always like to purchase their screen protectors.
Anyone used the Incredible Shield they offer? I put my Incredible in a case when i got it and took it out to clean it a month later and it was all scuffed and scratched up. Dont want that to happen again.
This is my first smartphone, so whats the difference between the three?
Just got mine in the mail yesterday and got to order my Seidio case. That way I am all ready whenever they decide to drop this phone.
As far as the difference between the three:
The Ultra Crystal is bascially the defacto standard for Steinheil. Crystal clear and to me actually enhances the actual screen.
The Oleophobic is new to me but thats actually the one I purchased. Its supposedly like the ultra clear but with an anti-water/oil coating (the iphone has this caoting on the default screen itself.)
The anti-fingerprint one I have also installed on my wife and mother-in-laws's Facinates. Its basically a matte finish that doesn't show any fingerprints but does in my opinion not do justice to the screens on these new phones. But some users just really hate fingerprints.
Hope this helps.
-Lil'
lilsalmon, have you ever seen the Incredible Shield they offer? I was thinking of getting this instead of a case.
Not first hand.
All I can say is I have tried quite a few different cases and screen protectors with my Incredible, Droid 1 and my wife's Facinate and Eris and Steinheil's screen protectors are far superior to all in my opinion.
-Lil'
Can you post pics of the Oleophobic? Ive always used the ultra clears and love them but I wonder how different the Oleophobic is?
Thanks
I've been using the Ultra fine ones for the past 2 days and I love it. I only use SPG screen protectors.
Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
I made the mistake of buying the VZW screens and wound up w/ a scratch on my screen...ugh.
The picture won't show much difference than the Ultra Crystal. Honestly I had always used the Ultra Crystal myself and just wanted to try the Oleophobic. I have been really impressed. Its basically the same clarity etc as the Ultra Crystal but resists fingerprints a bit more. You still get finger prints but not as many.
I hope this helps.

How good does the Steinheil protector fit? Does it cover the
complete screen?
Thanks in advance
Fits perfect. You wont even know there is a protector on it.
Got mine installed this past weekend. Best screen protector I have used Had a Zagg on my D1 but hated the rubbery feel. Using the crystal clear and it glides smoother then nothing at all..
Just ordered the Ultra Fine from Amazon. Should be arriving on Friday.
Sounds like the Oleophobic is the way to go, I hope I can get my Zagg off without to much trouble. Has anyone removed a Zagg, what did you use to accomplish it and get the screen clean?
The Zagg should come off no problem. I just removed mine.. nice protection but hate the feel of it.
I got the SGP ultra fine, the first one had problems where the pull tab is for peeling it. The 2nd looked much better, i love the way it feels, finger usually just glides across the screen without grabbing or sticking. The fit is good, just enough room to get it on without it having to be exactly perfect.

They cover the screen but the fit is not "perfect" by definition. They are slightly narrower and shorter than the screen but I've never seen a screen protector with a "perfect" fit. Not sure why it's so hard to make a protector exactly the same size as the screen but apparently it is.
I'm satisfied with mine but I'm not sure it's worth the price premium over the cheap protectors I was using prior to this one. I guess time will tell.

[Q] SPG Glas Screen Protector VS SGP ultra crystal Screen Protector .. what the best

Please everyone i am confused
what is the best one ?
SGP ultra crystal Screen Protector
or
SPG Glas Screen Protector
which one last longer ?
and which one effect less at the sensitivity of the touch screen ??
which one has less chance to bubbles appears ?
which one having less problem at all than other ??
please i would like to decide ASAP
I use the SGP Glas. It looks cool and offers really good protection. Now maybe I didn't do the great job putting the screen on, but sometimes, I have to push the screen harder than I'd like to for the phone to register. When I notice this happening, I usually smooth the screen down with my shirt and it seems to work fine. Haven't used the other protector, so I can't comment there.

i had the SGP ULTRA CRYSTAL and then replaced it with the SGP GLAS and i am very impressed with the SGP GLAS it combines a very very good protection, a very good feel, no color Distortion and also a very hard to scratch surface.
i also had the sensitivity problem but after looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142141
i saw this:
*Screen Sensitivity Issues with SGP Glas*
This has been tackled many times on different threads and even SGP admits it on the Glas product page.
Flashing your phone with a custom kernel, like ninphetamine, is already available that corrects this sensitivity issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so i installed the ninphetamine kernel and it did fixed the probelm and after that i installed the speedmode kernel that also has this fix but in my opinion is better.
so after fixing the sensitivity problem my opinion is that the SGP GLAS is absolutely amazing on all aspect (no color distortion, good feel like the original screen, no affect on sensitivity and of course a very good screen protection).
Thanx friends ,
tell me please about the SPG Glas .. what is the expected life time of it ?
i mean how long it last on my phone ??
is it last longer or zagg screen shield ?
because i used zagg on my older phone
it's more than year and it still good
zagg provide endless Guarantee , what about glas one ??
so what about Glas life time ? longer , shorter or the same ??
i decided to order 2 SGP GLAS pieces and Neo Hybrid tomorrow
but i would like to know first about the life time of it
waiting asap friends
I got a GLAS not too long ago as well. The actual screen protector is made with glass, so I don't see why it shouldn't last longer than the regular conventional screen protectors. I actually purchased the ultra oleophobic not too long ago, which resists oil. The GLAS has the same properties, so I'm pretty glad with the product so far.
and actually, regarding the ultra crystal, I used the one they included when i bought my hybrid sgp case, and even though you can't beat the clarity, i didn't like the stickiness of the film. The GLAS is def. more smooth.
Ultra crystal is cheap, but doesn't protect against oil, leading to rainbow effects, and any imperfection in the cut will have those annoying vertical lines, as well as incredibly clarity on every piece of dust you trapped with the screen protector.
The SGP Glas is nice, I just applied it, however, it's not as nice as a true anti-oleophobic protector, it doesn't fit perfectly, as in I lined up all the sensors and camera, but the capacitive buttons don't line up with the lights, and it's impossible to line it up perfectly, which makes me wish i had steadier hands/better eyesight. But even if it's off a little bit, it's still damn good. It also will demand you to root your phone, since Samsung wants the charger to charge the phone instead of pick up your touchscreen commands.
TL;DR: You get what you pay for.
Just wondering, does anybody put a screen protector on top of the SGP GLAS? Getting mine soon.

Not everyone likes their screen protectors glossy, but extra tampered glass in front of the screen to absorb the initial impact (if it comes to that) can be handy.
The Glas however, only comes glossy.
So yes, call me strange but I use a screen protector (SGP Optics) on top of a screen protector (Glas) and the SGS2 screen is taking it like a champ. Except for the capacitive buttons lol.

I have the glas. I'll remove it as soon as I receive my shadowskinz one.
Glas was fine for the first 2 days then a bubble/black dot that appeared in the middle. I can remove it but as soon as I put it in my pocket it reappear.
Dunno if it's the heat in my pocket but it's not that great.
I tried the SGP ultra clear one it was a little better than glas but not enough. If my shadowskinz sick, it's gonna be a Zagg.

best non-glass screen protector?

hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!
Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?
I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.
Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.
sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...
any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh
Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

I'm using zagg screen protector aka invisible shield
I picked up a pack of 3 from amazon made by Tech Armor. Link
Pros:
- No fingerprints whatsoever
- Very minimal discoloration
- Finger slides like on paper
Cons:
- Display loses sharpness
- Few mm short of covering length of screen
They make a matte and clear version of the screen. It's a fine protector for me since I prefer the papery feel, but not everyone like clarity trade off.
I am using the nillkin protector came with my nillkin case, it's very good and my friend did not even notice I have protector on. You can buy separate ones off eBay for a cheap price.

I use an Invisibleshield from Zagg. It works very nice but I've only had it on 2 days and I believe it takes longer to completely cure. So I'll wait on that to report how the screen quality issues affected but even now it's not bad at all; barely even noticeable

I use this screen protector too and I got the matte version instead of the clear one b/c I like the papery feel/sound. And I am impressed with the quality and the price. So far, it's been protecting my screen very well, but I did notice that I have to tap my capacitive buttons two or three times on occasions, but I'm not sure if it's due to the screen protector alone since I placed the screen protector on it as soon as I got my phone.
I'm hoping there will be spigen ultra optic..there's only ultra crystal right now. My experience on note 2 is really good. Antifingerprint while maintaining screen clarity
Glass, but the effect is not good, may be because I don't know how to stick it

It's not really your protector: it's probably the flawed kernel that got shipped out. Sprint released an update that fixed things, but it's not worked its way into custom ROMs.
+1 for the matte amFilms though. Great feel and price. I slapped one on my Galaxy Nexus as well just because (if you'd believe it, it's a perfect fit for the screen).

I use cheap ones off ebay... buy a handful from 2-4 sellers, find one you like and then re-order 10 or 20 more and just change them out once a month or so... screen protectors should not be kept on the phone for a year or more, except maybe glass (Haven't tried any glass yet)
You can probably get a years+ worth of decent protectors for the price of one Zagg at bestbuy... or less!

[REVIEW] COD iONIC Screen Protector - Anti-Glare vs Ultra Crystal

Hey Guys. Went ahead and purchased both the Anti-Glare and the Ultra Clear version of the COD iONIC screen protector for our Note 10.1 (2014 ed). Following prices are on Amazon as of Nov 1, 2013:
COD Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet (3-pack) - $4.85 (+$3.85 shipping)
COD Screen Protector Film Clear (Invisible) for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet (3-pack) - $9.85 (free shipping with Prime)
I took a few up close pics with my DSLR to compare text clarity, and also have a video review to compare in addition to clarity, light diffusion, and how they work with the S Pen. Also did a video to better compare not only text clarity, but also light diffusion, and to show how well the S Pen works with each.
After using both of these protectors you really can't go wrong with either one. But if you plan on using the S Pen a lot, go with Ultra Crystal and you will be happy. If you want to see these pictures in higher resolution, checkout the source images on my Project Log.

I'm going to keep both of these protectors on for the next few days, so if you guys have any questions, let me know. :good:
EDIT: One thing I forgot to note, the Anti-glare also does a good job hiding finger prints, whereas the Ultra Clear is a finger print magnet.
Nice Review!
I also installed a matte anti glare screen protector. The brand is kwmobile but the cutouts look awfully similar to the ones on the video.
Regarding the s-pen. I replaced the rubbery tip with the plastic one (those were provided with the tabled). This actually gives great pencil and paper feel and does not feel tacky at all.

Totally forgot about those other tips. The larger S Pen I have also came with those. I will swap them out and see how it compares. Thanks!

Thanks, I just ordered both of these last week to see which one I would like better. After listening to your review, I will probably go with the anti glare.
I ordered the invisible one on amazon last week, but when i got it i think its an anti-glare. i dont have the package with me today but im pretty sure it said "anti" on it. ill look tonight.
Just installed mine today. It's the crystal clear version. Looks perfect. Can't even tell there is a screen protector on.

what's the difference between these two?!
also it might sound I'm stupid, I have an anti-glare pair of glasses which I bought to prevent eye strain...does the anti-glare screen protector is to prevent eye strain?! or I will still need to use the glasses for reading while using the tablet?

so it says ultra clear on the front, but attached is what it says on the back. when applying it it looked like it had a little coating on it (gave it a rainbow effect) but now that its on i cant really see it, looks clear to me.

The Anti-glare cuts down on light reflection and diffuses overhead lights a bit. As to whether or not you will need to use your glasses, totally up to you.

Very nice review. I installed the matte screen protector yesterday, and I like it. But you definitely need to switch to one of the hard nibs for the s-pen. Otherwise, it "sticks" to the screen. Out of the five spare nibs that came with my tablet, two of them are the hard ones.

This should get better with time. I noticed that when I first applied the screen protector the stylus stuck, but over time this went way.
I bought a pack of anti - glare screen protectors from ebay and they are horrible, unbelievably grainy, render the beautiful screen useless lol...I do love the fact its anti-glare but whats the point when it makes the screen look terrible.
But I can't find COD screen protectors in the UK at the minute , Anyone using a good anti - glare screen protector in the UK...I want it to be like zero grainy as otherwise I'd just stick with a clear screen protector.
Sigh, I fail at applying these properly. I've already burned through my second and it still looks god awful. Hopefully my third and final attempt will be better because I keep misaligning the damn thing.
Edit: Okay so i managed to get the last one on perfectly..what I don't understand is WHY is there some random streaks of residue under the screen...?
Really unsatisfied here, I might just take this screen protector off when my case gets here. These streaks look really bad. Not even sure what its from. Also a little annoyed that the package showed up bent. After flexing the screen protectors a bit, there was still a slight bend, but they stuck on just fine. It's just the leftover residue that bothers me.
