Hi,
Is there anyone face with a discolored S-Pen?
My grey S-Pen become brown after a month of usage. I saw one in the showroom, seems the same.
Thank you,
We wear uniform to our company; which is blue shirt among others. The pen is placed in the shirt pocket, after 3 months, find that the 0.5" around the tip has turned blue. Looks like the coating on the pen which gives the soft touch feel is more absorbent to colour!
Wanted to buy a replacement, uffff INR 8k is too much!

I just installed Belkin Matte screen overlay on both of my Xoom's. I paid $25 for a two pack at Target. I am extremely impressed with the product. Eliminated smudges with only a moderate loss in light transmission. I installed using the water spray method. To keep from water damage. I wrapped the periphery of each Xoom with paper towels. I sprayed the sticky side of the overlay with water and carefully layed it down over the screen. Using a credit card wrapped in a few layers of paper towels I started from the center and worked my way out to the sides.

any actual pics?
Same here.. I got the Motorola BT keyboard on clearance for $48, and got the Belkin matte screen 2 pack also
I'm liking it a lot so far, was VERY easy to put on and looks great. It still smudges a little but not nearly as much.
i would also love to see pics... especially how the screen is looking with matte screen protector. the ones i used were terrible.

I tried taking some pics, but you really couldn't see anything.
I've used these type of protectors before. The first coouple days, you feel good about protecting your device, but the lackluster feel and reduced screen look will make you claw it off soon. I have been using my X and XOOM for a long time with no screen protectors with no probem. Motorola has a great build quality with the Corning Gorilla Glass, and it is rather resillient.
P.S. I do keep my xoom in the folio case, and am well pleased with the protection.
I'm glad I saw this thread. I got these for Christmas and kind of f'ed up on the first one, but the second one seemed like it was actually too big slightly, so I exchanged them at Target today and tried the water spray method which worked like a charm. There does seem to be a little moisture in some areas but it has been slowly going away since I reinstalled the new covers a couple hours ago. I personally think the screen looks much better with a matte cover on it (and most screens in general look better with matte covers). On all white backgrounds you can kind of see a prism effect, but I think the contrast is actually better, and pls there are no more fingerprints or any glare. It makes for much better viewing in bright areas too, gonna try it outside soon - without a cover you can't even see the screen unless you're in the shade when outdoors. I think this is the way that LCD displays were meant to be seen, LCD TVs always have a matte screen, and laptop LCDs with a matte finish are always more expensive than glossy. Anyway...I love it.
Hi,
I'm launching this question mainly to those who use the Note for drawing with the S Pen.
Before the Note I had an Acer Iconia A500 and I chose a Matte screen protector and I think it was a good decision for that tablet. I used it a lot for watching movies while in the underground, bus or train and the antireflectiveness of the matt finish helped a lot with dark scenes. also, it was a good antifingerprints solution. The drawback was the clarity of the image suffered a little but not very much so it was ok.
Galaxy Note is a totally different matter. I will still be using it for watching videos, of course, but I bought it mainly for drawing and painting.
Being a Wacom Intuos user for more than 15 years, I've always loved the feel of the finish of Intuos surfaces trying to imitate the feel of paper. The finish is matt and it wears with the years so you have to replace it from time to time but you can perfectly live with a very scratched surface for a long time. Of course, over a screen, it is a different matter.
So, I would like to hear the impressions of artist who are using or have used their S-Pen over Matte and Clear screen protectors. Does the S-Pen leave marks on matte surfaces? Does it move more naturally?
I've been holding off on a screen protector for the same reason( but I do have a case with a cover already). I mainly use my Note 10.1 for sketching and drawing.
One thing I will tell you is that some screen protectors, such as the Zagg protectors have a sticky feel to them. I have one on my S3, and I tried using my stylus on it and it adds to much grip to the surface. I think any screen protector that has anti-glare properties but is not matte will have this problem.
Another thing to keep in mind is that even on a standard Wacom tablet the drawing surface gets worn but you just don't notice it because it doesn't have light coming through it.
Also a matte surface will not only show more wear quicker but will also wear down the nib in the stylus faster.
The areas where you draw the most will become shinny, compared to the rest of the surface, from the constant friction.
Matte screen protectors also lower the contrast ratio. It lightens the black areas to be more dark grey.And they slightly distort the picture.
I would think it would feel similar to a Intous. Right now the bare screen is too slippery for my tastes.
Would love to hear from someone who has a matte screen protector and uses their tablet for drawing or painting, but I think one day I'll just break down and try it myself.
P.S. you might want to check out another post I had about my modded S-pen. I bought one with an eraser and modded it to make it easier to hold the button down and bigger so it's easier to hold for extended periods.

I have been using the clear screen protector and so far I like it. At first it didn't feel as smooth as without the screen protector so then I put the white touch leads included with the s-pen and it now feels smooth. I think Samsung included the white s-pen leads to use specifically with screen protectors. I haven't tried it on the matte screen protector but I think it will work fine.

Do you mean the leads that are fully made of hard plastic, not the ones made of plastic and rubber?

TL;DR at end of review
For starters, I'm terrible at putting skins on. That being said, I put the skin on my phone flawlessly. Not because I had skills at it, but because it's such a forgiving adhesive that gives you time to realign the skin again and again without losing it's stick. The precision is spot on, even the tiny holes for the microphone, or light sensors are perfect! What's more is I got it a day earlier than expected, and the customer service, and communication was fast, and extremely efficient! The screen protector currently has bubbles, but I'm terrible at installing those, and with 3 dogs, and a cat, there's fur all over the place. I won't hold bubbles against the protector, as it's got a lot of environmental variables working against it, and it's been only two hours (the instructions say to wait up to 48 hours, so I'll update later this weekend). One thing to note, though, is that the metallic options are more of a metal flake, or glitter option. Not that it's bad, I got the metallic blue, and though I'm no fan of glitter, it's growing on me. The screen protector is a soft material as I had hoped from their description on the web site, and doesn't seem to have any real halo effect to mention so far. It doesn't bunch up at the corners of the edge-to-edge design, something I was concerned with, but it does take some poking at to get to stick properly upon first installation. Mostly because it's still wet, and the adhesive hasn't set. It's definitely a solid protector from scratches, and easy to replace if it gets too scuffed up over time, but if you're prone to dropping things, I would suggest rethinking a skin in general. While I'm more used to cases that bulk up a phone like the UB Pro, and my most recent Caselogic: Parallax; I think these skins might just win me over. My phone can be lighter, and since I don't drop them much if any, it can be significantly smaller too! Now, with my fresh new metallic (glitter) blue skin, my phone is freaking FABULOUS!! What's more, they have a pretty huge device selection. I'm likely going to be skinning my Nook HD+, and my daughters are in love with the pink metallic, and red metallic skins. My only complaint on selection would be that it is required to get the screen films. I like their screen films, they feel more durable than the typical ones, and you get two of them making the price for them very friendly, but let's say I just want a replacement skin, or just a different looking skin. The skins add another roughly $15 to the screen price (more for larger devices).
For those of you that want the short version here are the pros, and cons:
Pros:
The screens are a soft stretchable polyurethane that can absorbs some decent scratches
The screen applies very easily with some ability to reposition once laid down
The back skin is very forgiving, and can be applied several times until it's perfect
The precision of the pieces are impressive!
Clear instructions, and even a video of instructions
FAST shipping
Great communication, and tracking
Overall very efficient staff/customer service
Device selection is pretty huge
Neutral:
Metallic skin options are more a glitter option, though the pictures make that clear. (I was asked to review, so I'm giving all the nit pickings just for completeness.)
Cons:
Can not buy the back skins without buying the screen films
Overall, I'll be ordering more for my other devices. Two screens, and a skin (I even got a bonus blue carbon fiber skin woo!) for $29 plus shipping is not a bad deal. They make the boring colors that the Pixel 2 XL comes in seem more refreshing for sure!
Update: It's been a few days with the screen, and the bubbles have gone away, there is still no halo effect after some normal use, and there is no screen distortion, or front camera distortion. After scratch testing it myself, and to help speed up the removal of bubbles, I can confirm that the screen cover smooths out in minutes! I was fairly rough with the scratches also. I'm quite pleased with their screen covers overall.
Hi all,
I purchased one of these, a red one, a few days ago for my Le Max 2, and thought some of you might like it.
It fits great, although I did have to shave a millimeter off of the USB-C area so that the CDLA jack would slide in properly.
I'm posting a store link to it here. However, I'm not the seller nor am I an affiliate. So I'm not getting paid to promote it.
Kind regards,
Bill...

I bought the black "textured" of the same case, works great. Super slim, slight edge so screen doesn't touch on face down, lip around camera lens , cheap.
Its really the perfect case.

Yeah, I quite like it also. And the price is very reasonable... :good:
Yes, this is one of the best cases for this phone. I had one for about 8-9 months. I used the gold one, it matches somehow with the rose gold color of the phone so it won't look that girlish with the case. The rubber starts to peel off slightly at the edges after about 4-5 months, depending on usage (I always slide it in my jeans pocket). After about 6 months some cracks start to appear at the corners where the case is cut. It performs very well though. Because I was happy with it, I ordered 2 more of the same, but I found them a bit cheaper.
Now I'm using a skin which looks like this: Wire Drawing membrane Skins Protective Film Wrap Skin Cellphone full body Protective Sticker For LeEco Letv Le 2 2Pro/Le Max 2

The parts that stick on the screen are useless because I use a tempered glass and they come over the edges. On top of this I have the original transparent case from LeEco to protect the skin. I'm not sure how long would the glue last on the sides without the case. The chamfered edges remain uncovered though.

I anticipate that it will wear a bit eventually. However, for the price, I'm very satisfied with it...
Hello,
Already anybody with a good fitting glass screenprotector?
I have tried 2, but they don't fit good at the edges.

I've seen many people with the same problem as yours, that is why I haven't got a screen protector.
I have some under watch in eBay, but I'm waiting on feedback before purchasing
I bought those "liquid/nano Screenprotectors" coz they fit every screen.
I dont know if they are good but my screen is still like new.
Ultimate Shield are now doing glass protectors for a range of Honor and Huawei devices, including the P20 Lite. They are priced to be a bit more premium, but I have used them in the past and been quite happy with them. This was before the trend of curving the edges of phone screens though. These are full sized protectors with a coloured border, but the glue is full coverage rather than just at the edges. I have just fitted one to my son's new P20 Lite. As it has just been fitted I am unable to comment on durability yet. However the fit seems pretty good. As mentioned, it covers the front of the device fully from edge to edge both horizontally and vertically. The hole for the speaker and camera lines up perfectly, but it does look like the black borders encroach a little onto the actual display area at the sides. I don't think this would be enough to impede usage of the phone on a daily basis. It is just noticeable as it disrupts the flow of the rounded corners. The edges are nicely rounded and are not a harsh edge, unlike the cheap protector that I currently have on my Honor View 10 (I have bought an Ultimate Shield for this too, just haven't fitted it yet). I did manage to get one tiny bit of dust under the protector which has caused a small bubble, but this is under the display in the chin area so no real issue and not a fault with the screen protector. There was another bubble at the top left of the display, but keeping pressure on this meant it eventually disappeared. At the edge in the same area I noticed a small sized air pocked just creeping out along the black border, almost as if it was a tiny area with the infamous halo. This isn't noticeable with the screen on and I hope it will go over time. Overall I am quite happy with how it fits and looks. The only real negative is that the supposed oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be doing a great job. But, tbh, I don't think I have ever found a screen protector where it has worked as I expected. Are my expectations just not realistic? Or do we have particularly oily finger tips? Nothing a frequent wipe on a t-shirt won't sort out though.
Would certainly recommend if you are fed up of these screen protectors that are much too small and give you a halo round the edges.

They also do full body coverage wet apply protectors (invisible shield style) if you like that kind of thing.
I got one when i bought the phone and it did not fit good at the edges, but i found a youtube clip called "Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)" and it worked for me. its been 3 months since then and all is good.
