[Q] Screen Protectors?

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.

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.

The Tab S2 Screen Protector Thread

Hi everyone.
Didn't see a thread for screen protectors for this tablet, so I thought I would start one. I have the 8.0 inch tablet, and a glass screen protector from amFilm that works very well; no issues with halo or anything like that. If you have one that is good for either size, please share so that we can be sure to all get the best products!!

I like mine without any screen protectors ☺

Seconded. I tried two of... I forget the brand; it's the #1 seller or Amazon and starts with an I and both had problems. Then I got a Skinomi and it's perfection :good:

Bought Omoton for my 8".
Best packaging of any I've used, very complete.
They also have 2 hinges that make putting it on much easier.
Had a few air pockets at first but with a some pressing and pushing toward the edges they have gone.
Only negative is that I have the telephone model and they didn't have a cut out for the top speaker.
As I don't think I'd hold this up to my heard and rarely use the phone (and when I do it's blue tooth direct to my hearing aids or by speaker) it's not a problem.
Shofar

I made a few purchase from china, 2.5D , cost me approximate USD 2.40 each.
does what it suppose to do, had it on since I've had my tab, I have the 4G version, the protector has all the cut out.

Any more updates on screen protectors? I have installed Tech Armor Ballistic Glass on 10 or so devices, always very pleased with them and their service, but they don't offer a Tab S2 yet.
Looks like Skinomi it is, appears pretty similar to the TA. Hopefully just as oleophobic.

I'm happy with my Skinomi. I don't notice fingerprints on it at all.

The Skinomi Glass arrived, it's a quality surface, but my application failed on one corner, got a ~ 1/4 inch bubble on the bezel. I've installed a lot of Tech Armors phone and tablet glass protectors, I can usually get it right 9 out of 10 times.
Tech Armor always sends a replacement if you mess it up, but they don't make a Tab S2 yet. Skinomi warranty says it does not cover incorrect installations. Ordered another one and also emailed Skinomi CS asking for another one anyway.
Not many cases for this tablet... Too bad Spigen or Seidio don't make one yet. The Tab S2 is just a little too thin naked for me to hold comfortably.

Is there other screen protector? I live in Austria and there are not these brands here...
Thank you!

Does anyone know if these Samsung branded screen protectors work on the Tab S2 8'?
Galaxy Tab 3 8 inches and Galaxy Tab 4 8 inches .
I can only find generic tempered glass screen protectors and I'd rather go with one of these two for now.

Thanks a lot. I'll see what I can get shipped to Romania.

Could someone confirm that the "old" and the new model's front panel are the same? Would like to buy a screen protector to a 813 model but i'm not sure if it's exactly the same on the front like the 810. Is the camera module, the light sensor, and the home button at the same position and are the same size? (i would assume so, but you never know)

If found that bubbles at the edges are almost always caused by the protector being to close to that edge. The only way to get rid of the bubble is to completely remove the protector and re-position it.

I had bought these: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/T815...2624571978.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.58.V2jpEY.
I applied one of them with no problem. I have two or three tiny bubbles that were caused by specks of dust that crept in despite my effort to prevent it.

Anyone find a tempered glass screen protector that actually fits correctly (no halo)?

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, mods, feel free to move it if it is.
I think I've tried, what seems like, almost EVERY tempered glass screen protector on Amazon (6 or 7 different ones) and every single one has "halo" around the entire screen (doesn't adhere).
Has anyone found one that actually fits? If so, please post a link to it for me
I ruined the, flimsy film, one that came with the phone.... I've ordered something similar to get me by until there is a tempered glass one that actually works.....But if it's like the Moto X Pure, it's been out 10 months now and still doesn't have one that works correctly.

And kinda looks like the one in the image attachment.

I believe it is too early in the product's life cycle to be able to find a tempered glass screen protector that will fit the Axon 7's curved glass edges.
Those edges are what's giving the issue here.
I'm going to use either a Skinomi protector for now. I've installed them before.
A good source for screen protectors is: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/
They're based in Germany but handle several very decent brands including Vikuiti which are a still film type protector. I have used those in the past and they're very strong and durable.
Prices range in US dollars from $4.45 to $25.65 incl. shipping for the Axon 7
Here's a glass protector they sell for $6.68 called the BROTECT® AirGlass® Premium Glass Screen Protector for ZTE Axon 7

I ordered the Brotect Air Glass and received it 2 weeks ago. I removed it within 5 mins. It creates the halo effect around the sides. They say it's Glass but honestly, it just looks and feels like your usual plastic ones that you get on eBay and stuff. I've also tried 3 different Tempered Glass and no luck either. You're right, it's still early. I used Ghost Armor about a month ago to have it custom cut but also ended up removing that too since I couldn't stand the rubbery TPU feel anymore.

Anyone tried those ?
With those gold/black edges, i'm wondering if those parts aren't on the curved sides !

That was one of the 3 I tried. I ordered 1 from Amazon and 1 from Aliexpress thinking they would be different.... Both are the same. Don't bother getting it cuz the adhesive is only on the sides and doesn't even stick properly especially since the sides curve down. It constantly slides around and doesn't even stay center. It doesn't even adhere to any of the glass part either and it's elevated. So when u press down on certain areas, u can actually hear it click. Worst of all, since it's elevated, you lose some of the clarity of the screen too.

I tried two different brands, one was Skinomi, and they're SO exact cut that if you squeegee them too much, it'll stretch them to where they hang over the edges (or maybe they're just made that way). As soon as you put your case on, they'll start peeling off in a few places. Or if you stick it in your pocket a few times, the edges eventually snag on your pocket and start to peel off.
I went with the stiffer, thin plastic ones until I find a good tempered glass one.

You might want to try this one: http://goo.gl/Gu4plV
Might not be the best, but forless then 1$ and free shipping, you might give it a try.
Saw that there where other on Ali too, hope you'll find one !

any updates on a tempered glass screen protector with little or no halo effects?
I wouldn't even mind a high quality film protector like the Spigen one that I have on another phone due to the same halo issue... but they don't make one for the Axon 7.
The Axon 7 is like little orphan Annie... nobody wants to make accessories for it.
thanks!

Sadly!! I have used Skinomi, very glittery. Spoiled 2.I can't recommend at all. And bought one in Germany all bull****!!! All don't fit and stick well!!!

I've tried 3 or 4 others, still have the Halo.....I have the one with the black frame around it sitting on my desk at home. It supposedly doesn't "halo", but only adheres around the edges (not the entire screen), so I'm holding off until the one I'm using now starts peeling off more.
On a side note, my sons Galaxy S6 has the exact same issue. I've tried 4 different screen protectors and they all "halo" too. So the Axon 7 has an upper-class, snobby sibling with the same issue :highfive:

I tried the one with the black boarder from Amazon people seem to been having luck with. Sucked. Fell off after about 3 hours. Also had very bad halos, but since boarder was black, you couldn't see them. The screen protector would get caught on my pocket when I tried to put the phone away. And no sticky stuff in the middle, so there were big rainbows on the screen. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!

I have ordered this one.

Had the same problem with the note 4. The 2.5d screens or whatever they call it are rather annoying. Took me a few tries to find one i was satisfied with. Looks like thia phone is going to be harder to find since its not as popular as the Samsung name.

Film not glass
I've tried a couple different glass screens with the same result the rest of you have found. Halos and skimpy/poor fit.
This one is a film but so far it's the best I've found. Stays put, covers it all and the edges stay down after a couple hours as it "settles in" :fingers-crossed:

Any update on this protector?

Question Query on screen protectors

There were replacement screen protectors for the main screen of the Z Fold2. I noticed Whitestone and other companies are advertising screen protectors for the Fold3. I assume these would be applied on the main screen directly as the Fold3 does not have a Samsung installed protector?
Also any recommendations for the front screen?

I believe the internal has a preinstalled screen protector. Same as the fold 2.
I was unable to get information if the exterior one has a screen protector or not.
I would think so since it seems normal for samsung now.

Idk I tried out the phone in store, and this iteration of the fold felt more like glass and less like plastic and I didn't see a noticeable screen protector like the Fold 2.

Thinking about getting Ferilinso Designed for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G Flexible TPU Screen Protector. Just a precaution, rather safe than sorry.

They did say thicker protector and its tpu i believe.
I had screen protectors that feel "like glass" vs cheap plastic before.
Either way all a step in the right direction

Well whatever they did, I was very impressed with what I felt today and it made my decision to make the jump and pre-order

They changed the screen protector to PET, this is one of the best and most overlooked features.

Where did you find it in store? I haven't actually held one yet but my order is in. Thought about swinging by a Best Buy soon.

Best buy had one but it was off and I couldn't power it on, Verizon had one on and working, so I got to actually play with it. I'm telling you, the improvements they did to the folding screen are amazing imo. That's always been my thing that keep me from getting the fold, but as soon as I felt how much better it was on the 3, I went ahead and pre-ordered.

MrMobiles review advised they have used a new type of screen protector this year that ends underneath the bezels of the screen, so its more 'built in' than ever. It's also not made from TPU, so you wont get those nasty finger smudge marks as much.

Maybe they were tired of repair screens of people who ripped the protector off and somehow damaged the screen, lol. I changed screen protectors on my z Fold 2 weekly trying to find the right one and the screen was always perfect.
Also the PET screen protectors definitely don't smudge as much and they're easier to wipe off. I hope they're scratch resistant if they're making it harder to remove. I'm ocd about hairline scratches in my screen protectors. Drives me insane.

Hi, I have removed the screen protector on my fold2 and I'm using it for months without any protectors - I could not stand the plastic feelings - the glass touch is perfect on the fold2 and it does not scratch that much. I'm curious - as the fold 3 has now non removable PET layer - how it would be compared to the fold2 without any protectod vs the fold 3 ?

Watching some videos from Korea, and it seems Whitestone Dome has a UTG screen protector for the inner folding screen.
Sorry, video is in Korean, but no doubt you can work it out from watching.

I think that thing is like $80.

My whitestone silk is arriving tomorrow, still waiting on my phone to ship out next week

I hope that this PET protector wil be still possible to remove to have nice glass experience.

On my fold 3 I can feel a edge from screen protector so it seems to be removable, it isn't embedded under the plastic frame.

You already have fold 3? Can you please tell me how is the feeling / touch on the built in PET protector? Is it glass like touch/look?

Yes that is correct I got mine on 18th August after ordering it on 11th August. I can say surface is smooth and feels good. Hardly any visible finger prints when device is on. Like it is with those plastic ones that makes it visible.
