[Q] Screen Protectors? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories

Straight fwrd. Looking for full coverage and at amazon,[is more recommended ]
I want to check some stuff before buying my note.
Links? Thanks!

I ordered one for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from Amazon and it should arrive today. I couldn't get an answer as to whether it would fit so I decided to take the chance. It's only a few bucks anyways.
I'll report back later on the fit.
I'm not sure what you mean by full coverage, but I sent a recommendation to DecalGirl to make a full skin for the back as well.

Full fit i mean not just the screen but full end to end..get it? lol >.<

The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 rooCASE screen protector I ordered fits perfectly including the cutout for the camera. There isn't a cutout for what I believe is the ambient sensor though.

I went to feel my phone protection is fairly

I wonder what will S Pen do to screen protectors. I managed to ruin one with Adonit Jot stylus on Transformer (many, many scratches) and S Pen has much sharper ending.

Eventually you will have to replace the screen protector. There are two schools of thought on this:
1. Buy really cheap screen protectors and replace them often,
2.Buy decent screen protector and you won't have to replace them too often.
I use photodon MXH, which are an "HD anti-glare" they provide some glare and fingerprint reduction, without sacrificing too much screen clarity. Everyone has a different opinion on which type to get (clear or matte), but my personal preference is the matte. I have had a Photodon MXH on my Cintiq for about a year and there are minimal scratches. So minimal that I don't notice. l'll be ordering a couple for the Galaxy note this weekend.

Screen Protector?
Just curious on why you want a screen protector for the Note 10.1. Is it scratch protection, glare reduction etc.
I've given up on screen protectors myself on all of my devices since gorilla glass and with the s-pen on the note 10.1 I would have thought a screen protector would impact the writing.
Thanks

I would agree to the fact that gorilla glass is supposed to be immune to scratches but I wouldn't bet my note on that and be left without it for it to get fixed. Hence a nice protector is not a bad idea IMO.
I ordered one along with a simple case I found on ebay. As I am in the uk I wont have it until the 3d of september so k can't report back just yet

I would second Photodon screen protectors. I use it on my Lenovo X220T which also uses Wacom stylus and can confirm that it does note interfere with the stylus and is incredibly resilient. Photodon is also a pleasure to do business with and has excellent customer service.

Zagg is no good
I bought a zagg protector at best buy with the tablet.
Had to remove it because it was almost impossible to use the pen for drawing.
I have it on my phone and nexus 7, but for this particular tablet I can't recommend it.

Yes it is. If Best Buy had decent product knowledge they would know that the zagg sp won't work. Honestly, Zagg should know better too, but they are just out to make a buck.
I hope for your sake you returned it. If not you should because it really won't work with the pen.
It should also be noted that the Wrapsol and BestSkinsEver won't work either. Stick with the "hard" plastic dry install screen protectors. So far I'm having good luck with the matte rooCASE screen protector I got from amazon. I may wait on ordering the photodon.

These are the screen protectors I ordered. Install was easy enough, but I'm experienced at it. The fit is perfect.
I would attempt to return the zagg. Talk to a manager and show them how the pen sticks to it. Its not functional. If that fails, I would contact BB corporate and put a call into Zagg. But that's me. I hate wasting money. Like lighting fire to 30 dollars.

Sure thing!

So I contacted Photodon and they gave me the dimensions for their screen protector.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (#5832-01) is cut to 242.5 x 170.5mm (9.5 x 6.7”); 5/16” corner radius; camera location 130mm from left and down 11mm.
Screens diagonally less than 17” - We normally subtract 1/2mm from each dimension to make installation a little easier, so please indicate if you like your film cut “exactly” to the measurements that you specify.
Can somone confirm that this is the same as the note 10.1?

Based on those measurements the screen protector will be a good fit with the note. The only thing that jumped out is the camera hole is 11mm to the bottom of the hole, not center so I'm not sure where they measure to. The corner radius looks correct too.
I ordered a screen protector for a Galaxy Tab 2 from amazon, just so I would have something quickly and it fits the Note perfectly. I like the Photodon stuff too, but this one I ordered is pretty good so far. I'll eventually grab a Photodon though. I ordered a decalgirl backing skin last night, but I know that's not going to fit perfectly, but it will provide good scratch protection the the back plastic since I don't use a case.

screen protector for galaxy tab

I just purchased one on amazon from ArmorSuit. Gotta be one of the best screen protectors out there. Way Way better then skinomi and the majority that is out there. 5/5 stars. Just my honest opinion. Want to help out those who are looking for something of quality. Go ahead and give it a try, you wont regret it.

Also want to say that their customer service is top notch. Love it.
Just got my Armor Suit and it is the best screen protector I've ever used. 5 stars.

Is invisible shield just not good anymore?
I think I'll try this Armorsuit...I just received the SGP screen protector....suck and overpriced..lucky I got it from Amazon...easy return service....
I got the Steinheil Ultra Crystal (SQ) and the fit (some air around the camera) and quality is really good (been using Steinheil screen protectors for years on my phones). I got my from Amazon.com and its kinda expensive but its like $21/year =).
This isn't the place I got my, but you can see all the different types.

couldn't find one here, hence bought a notebook screen protector and pruned it for perfect fit on my galaxy tab plus used the remnant for my phone.
I'm worried if I put an Invisibleshield screen protector on my GT 10.1 it will leave a permenant haze or film on the the screen when I decide to take it off. Can anyone offer any information? Thank you
I got this.

3x screen protectors for $10 shipped. They're matte. Fit almost perfect (1mm smaller than the actual glass to prevent lifting).
I dont see any reason for a screen protector other than wanting to have a matte screen to remove the glare.

Most of us actually prefer our screen (gorilla glass or not) scratch-free. Having a protector gives you ease of mind when rubbing a smudge or fingerprint off too.

I just installed that exact same one from the same seller. Fits perfectly, especially around the camera and ambient light sensor. It adds a little bit of a grainy texture to the display, but all anti-glare films I've used do that. Not sure if it's really got an anti-grease / oleophobic coating as mine has some decent fingerprints, but the matte surface hides it well.
Tip to line it up the first time: before you take off the backing, line it up how you want it. Scotch tape it 3x on one of the edges, preferrably the one with the pull-tab for the backing. Make a tape handle for the opposite end of the screen. When you're ready to install it, hold the tape handle and pull the backing off with the tab, then pull the handle tight as you lay down the protector.
Trust me, I went through at least 7 different screen protectors (I got the Asus, Acer, and Samsung) and this is by far the best one out there. Good luck.

How does it stack up against InvisibleShield and the other 3M Scratchguard types? I usually don't like the texture on those.
Don't know about the ones I've been hearing about in this thread, but I've got InvisibleShield on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm probably never taking it off. It works wonders and I have the same protector for my HTC Evo. Never need another screen protector once you go InvisibleShield.
I myself have been searching for a screen protector for my tab. I have the invisishield on my evo4g, and I find that it adds quite a bit of sticky friction to swiping, or any time you drag your finger across the screen. It's not so important on the phone as it would be on the tab, so here's my question:
What sp will offer some protection, but doesn't add much friction to the touch experience.
Appreciate the input!

The one I mentioned above is smooth. The matte finish makes it feel more like high gloss paper than glass. I'm considering buying a clear protector from the same company though as the "sparkly" effect that the matte finish adds to the screen (esp. things that are solid green for some reason) is getting on my nerves.
I have the zagg invisibleSHIELD maximum protection, is was a little skeptical at first but really like it now the i have had it on for a coupke weeks. There is more grip to the tablet now, but i can still slide my fingers over the screen with no issues. I will say this though, if you have never installed something like this take your time whrn installing it.

Apologies if it has already been asked, i may have missed it.
I'd like to have a specific anti-glare screen protector, the glossy screen is not bad but still very reflective, a part from the usual fingerprints issue.
Any product that suits my needs?

Best screen protector

I have used clearplex on my note 5.3 and my N7. I just ordered one for my note 10.1
out of all the screen protectors out there this is the best one I have found. It does NOT feel like plastic. it actually feels just like screen glass. our s pen works great with this. I have tried others and the s pen doesnt respond like it does with clearplex. try this. you will not regret it.

It completely replicates glass so there will be fingerprints.but, they also sell a awesome cream that works to repel smudges called nuTouch. And use the code "grandma" to receive 15% off your order.

I have'nt got the new one yet for the 10.1 note. As soon as I do I'll post some pics. But, I also have the note 5.3 phone and it works awesome in responsivesness. I tried others and they don't come close to this. It seriously feels like the same screen glass as your device. Obviously its not gorilla but it is perfect for the s pen.
You won't regret using this if your a screen user.
thank you for the recommendation

That, my friend, is a great price. I paid almost 24 with 15% off for my nexus 7. Glad to hear you got such a great deal!
It works well
When I saw the recommendation here I purchased it online. I'm a stylus fanatic. I purchased the HTC Jetstream soon after release. Like everything else the Jetstream failed at, the screen protector made for it sucked. It was too tacky and clearly wasn't produced with the stylus in mind! My solution was to find a matte finish protector. That worked well. When I saw this as a non-matte option, I was a little skeptical, but also excited. I thought I'd try it out. Got the expedited shipping so it arrived last week. This was the first time I ever put on my own screen protector. It was so easy, I'll do it from here on out. This thing works as it says. Looks good on the device, clear as day, and best of all, as smooth as glass writing with the stylus! Even better than matte. The only slight problem was that the protector is slightly smaller than the front. It covers the entire touch-screen portion, but leaves a little room on the rest of the front all around. The company actually reached out to me, on their own, to offer me a fix. I'm going to take them up on it. Why not. So, my rating is very positive. Good product, great for stylus, very good customer support. Feel free to ask me any questions. I come on here every couple of days.
Nick
I have had mine on for a couple of days now...perfect fit and feels really nice. s pen is working great too!
Here are a couple of my impressions to the Clearplex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30959465&postcount=42
I have to add that functionality wise, is like the protector is not there. Either I got used to it or the drying/curing process improved things. Very pleased with my purchase.
Can you remove and reapply this if you get it the alignment wrong the first time? And did you all get the NuTouch HD Treatment too?
dja2k
So I've had mine on for a couple of weeks now and have decided to pickup a different one. The good side of this one is that it is like advertised and just as smooth and clear as the original screen for writing on.
Unfortunately mine is a total fingerprint / smudge magnet even with the NuTouch cream on it (it's so bad that you can see pen strokes on it after writing) and mine seems to have a slight streaking to it on the long axis. It also seems that they used a pattern off maybe one of the tab's since it's just a little smaller then the screen (about to get the Samsung book case so want to have full coverage especially since I forgot to reseal my edges during the drying time and when I remove my current case you can see the edges clearly visible) and they cover the ambient light sensor (probably not that big of a deal). The final reason I'm switching is to get an anti-glare protector.

I will admit that it does hold fingere smudges, but I have'nt found a closer to glass experience out there. And the company is good at fixing any problem you have with the product which is a major plus for me.
I use rain x on my screen and smudges don't show up anymore...I have the best of both worlds now. A great scren protector that is fantastic with my note and s pen, and a 3 dollar smudge protector from rain x. easy!!!

I was thinking about a Spigen Screen protector. I think that the clear one for the GNote 10.1 is actually called Spigen Ultra Crystal (and not "Ultra Clear").
There's also a "Matte" version that is called Ultra Fine (Anti-Fingerprint)
I've read good reviews about the latter one here but I haven't bought it (yet).
Spigen page for the GNote 10.1 is here
Most Official accessories SUCK.
Learned it the hard way with the Asus Transformer TF101. The official case was twice the price, and a QUARTER of the quality of the AFTER MARKET cases.

Be careful with the Matte ones, many complain about scratchiness of the S-Pen on such surfaces.

Yes, please do tell of your experience in any way you can.
I'll post your review link in the OP.
The re-designed Ghost Armor screen protectors work perfectly. Have had one on mine for over a week now. I am drawing on my Note daily and there are no scratches on the protector at all. I got the full body shield so it was a little expensive, but I just like their product and have it on all of my devices. I've seen a few posts here mention that Ghost Armor on the original Note phone was no good and scratched easily. If you decide to go with Ghost Armor, make sure it is the NEW version if you're ordering from a kiosk. I also waited the painstakingly long 48 hours before using a pen on the screen.
clearplex
I used the clearplex screen protector and they are very nice. They boast that they are like zagg invi shield and protects the screen from breaks and stuff. They use the same material they use for car windshields. They have excellent customer service because I had a problem installing it because of my own mistake and i called them and they happily sent me a new one. (They have a 1 year warranty on the protector.) $19 is a very cheap price.
It feels like glass, looks like glass. And installation is very easy, you dont have to worry about the air bubbles that normal screen protectors have. i give it 9/10. -1 point because it takes a few days before the streaking fades away and you had to use the squeegee to maintain the bond for a few days. Other than that, I am pretty happy with this

I never got ghost armor before and am considering it. Can they put it on at the kiosk the same day you come in or do you need to leave your device there?
Could the people who post recommendations please write a bit about how and what they use the tab for! This will be helpful for users in similar scenario to decide which one to go for that suits their specific use needs.
For example;
Screen protector name, price and possible link -
Device main use -
Pros -
Cons-
Etc,
Klau1 could then collate this info into the first post with links etc.

I got the clear one...you'll love it! Sorry I haven't had time to post a review yet, but trust me its the best screen protector I've ever had. I put mine on in the bathroom with shower on and didnt really take my time but it still turned out beautiful.

I never got ghost armor before and am considering it. Can they put it on at the kiosk the same day you come in or do you need to leave your device there?

As long as they have the protector there at the kiosk they can put it on the same day you go in. It took about 45 minutes for them to install mine because after they put it on they place it in a heat box to help it dry faster. If they don't have the protector they will order it and call you when it's in. I had to do that once and it took about 7 days to get there since my kiosk only gets shipments once a week.

Could the people who post recommendations please write a bit about how and what they use the tab for! This will be helpful for users in similar scenario to decide which one to go for that suits their specific use needs.
For example;
Screen protector name, price and possible link -

I agree, a lot of the posts here just mention that the screen protector is "good". But neglects to describe the S-PEN experience with it.
The S-PEN functionality is the purpose of this thread so it's important to comment on that, before I can post it to the OP.

Any tempered glass screen protectors available?

Is anyone aware of a tempered glass screen protector for the Note 10.1 2014? Since I began using them on my GS4, I got hooked and got one from Spigen for my iPad. Yes they add weight and are pricey but the performance is awesome. I really want one for my new Note. Thanks in advance.
did not find the one at Amazon and ebay ...if you find it somewhere do share the link...me too looking to buy one for my Note 10.1(2014)....
I'm definitely looking for one too. I got one for my note 3 and it's amazing. Especially since the tempered glass protectors are about the same price as regular ones.

This is the one I bought (disregard the silly product title haha): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Explosion-p...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item35cce6fc3e
I bought the same one for my parents for their note 2's and have absolutely no complaints so I expected the same quality for my note 3 and I wasn't wrong.
Plus you can also find even reputable companies like Bear Motion selling on Amazon for similar prices: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...2549888&sr=8-6&keywords=note+3+tempered+glass

Thats a negative good buddy, hoping something will be out for Christmas. I am still waiting on one for my LG G2 which I like a whole lot better than the Samsung S4 I had.

Thanks! In for two explosions. Been happy with the low priced phone accessories from China without the silly mark up.
Happy with this minimal case for Note 3 to protect the back and sides from scratches. Now I have protection for the front.

Not quite tempered glass but Green Onions finally released a screen protector for the Note 10.1 2014. I use the same type of oleophobic screen protector on my note 3 and it really helps with grease. My Note 10.1 2014 sees way more constant touching from my fingers so I grabbed it asap.
Bumparoo!
Anyone find any glass yet for this device?
Plastic screen protectors suck with the spen.

Just got in my Green Onions oleophobic screen protector today. Same material as the one I use on my Note 3. Works perfectly fine with the pen for me and IMO more importantly, the oleophobic coating makes sure my fingers don't grease up my note as I am taking notes and using my tablet. I would've liked to go all out and gotten a tempered glass screen protector but none are out yet and I prefer oleophobic protectors anyways. 26 bucks is a little expensive but I think you get what you pay for.
Subscribed, looking for one of these 'TG SP's for the 2014 note 10 also.

Was this screen protector edge to edge? I don't want gap between the sliver trim to the screen protector.

Yes. It was somewhat difficult to align because of that. They give you a huge sheet to remove dust bedore installation but I also uses the steamy shower install method to be dust free. Took about 10 tries but the cover fits perfectly now.

Bump, any new info?
Do you think it is necessary to use a screen saver, if the official case is used?

My brother has never used any screen protectors on his devices and they all have pristine screens, I on the other hand have a few scratches on my S3 but that's only because I work in an Engineering environment where there are all sorts of materials flying about plus I no longer care tbh and use the phone even with dirty hands.
To be honest considering how much I use my phone its actually done pretty well, I have a 1cm long deep scratch and about 4 really light scratches that are barely noticeable and I've had the phone since release.
If your going to just use it in the house I would say you don't need one but you never know.
P.S. I don't think that really answers your question but still atleast you have something to think about haha
Found One
Well, a tempered glass screen protector finally hit Ebay (I can't post links yet but do a search for "Tempered Glass Explosion proof Screen Protector film for SAMSUNG Phones 2013 new" and you should find it). I know that Alibaba (seems to be an Asia-based import company) has listed tempered glass screen protectors for a month or so (if you wanted to import in bulk) and it was nice to finally find one on EBay for $17 (with shipping). I'm sure it will take a few weeks to get here but will let you know how it works once I get it.

Tempered glass screen protectors?

Can anyone recommend a good tempered glass screen protector for the note 10.1 2014 model? I can't seem to find many and the ones I do have scant and very mixed reviews at best... I've never gotten a tempered glass screen protector but I definitively want the added drop/shatter protection. The only thing that worries me is that if I accidently but a crap one, the S Pen responsiveness will be hindered or the protector will peel off etc.
Also, an antiglare tempered glass would be amazing but I've only found these to be in the plastic protectors. I could live without it to get better shatter protection, though so any suggestions on the tempered glass protector is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I bought one on dx.com but it seems they removed it from the page; the exact name was:
Angibabe Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition P600

I like it very much, the tab feels natural and you can stop worrying about screen scratchs and stuff. Finger detection works perfectly. Pen functions very well with the exception of on thing: if you don't use the pen perfectly perpendicular to the screen near the edges(about .5 centimeter) the detection is moved millimeters from the actual pen tip touching the screen. This problem may be happening to all tablets and I don't know it because i wont take the protector off but it seems logic that the detection is affected that way with a some space added between the pen and the actual screen. Theoretically this could be fixed with calibration on the drivers or kernel or whatever but i am no expert.
Anyway, if you stay away from the corners and the screen borders you'll be very happy with the results a tempered glass has on this device.
I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in real quick. Ive put 4 diffrent ones on mine cause I messed up every one. Lol but make sure you turn tablet off and its not hot cause I made the mistake of playing on tablet then putting it on and a air bubble came where the screen was hot and I couldnt get out. I also messed up the others but when I did the tape on sides like a hinge it went on perfect. You can google it, there are alot of videos. I bought mine now on ebay. If you want a good one and want to spend some extra money there is ghost glass but I think its like 50 dollars. Mine was cheaper and they said it was anti fingerprint but I get fingerprints on it. They come right of with screen cleaner rag though. I just went to look on ebay but there not selling the one I bought anymore. Mine works fine with spen and fingers. I did buy the cheap one from china also, I would stay away from those. They always come broke, they will send another one but it takes some time to get.
Update.
Went to the store todsy and tried the galaxy note 12. It had the same problem i was describing above and without any protector so i am guessing it is a tablet problem and we can use protector without fearing it might affect the usage.
I use the techpro tempered glass with no problems
I got a cheap one from ebay too. It's a little thick, 4mm, and doesn't fit perfectly, probably 1-2mm gap around the edges, but the tablet works just as it did without it. I'm a heavy user of the s pen and i don't see any difference in offset. I didn't have any problem applying it...i used the home key hole to line it up.
I agree with the other poster that it does nothing to discourage fingerprints, but overall i'm happy with it and would use the same cheap ebay one again. I'd say give it a try.... $20 to try is better than $50 for the "good" one unless you really need a perfect and thin fit.
I just bought one on ebay a couple of days ago. Its called: TechPro Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Samsung. Itwas 21.99. Ill post pics once i receive the screen protector
Can anyone recommend any goods ones
Just got a mime glass protector and it's awesome. Fits perfectly. I've used their glass on a few of my devices. Always use their stuff when they make one for the device I'm on.

I picked it up on Amazon for $19.95 with free 2 day shipping with the student deal they are currently running. It fir great and works fine but it's not as fingerprint resistant as Zagg Glass Shields I have used in the past. Of course Zagg doesn't make a Glass Shield for our Note so that's not really an option.
This is the one I got off Amazon, I'm sure you can find it again but it's perfect around all edges and screen works great as well. Paid like 20 something for it and wish I got a couple more.

I use a protector by Skinomi. No problems with bubbles, nice feel and responds to fingers or s-pen just fine. I got it on Amazon. Real inexpensive also. All specs are on Amazon..
