SPIGEN Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Protector - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Just got some review products in and applied this bad boy a few minutes ago. If you're looking for a protector that completely fights off grease and oil but keeps the screen looking the EXACT same, then this is the one for you. You can't even tell it's on. Application is easy and the protector fits the screen almost exact. So exact, however, that you have to make sure the top of the protectors lines up exactly with the top of the phone. If you leave a few mm of space at the top, you'll get this (see photos).
Besides that, this is almost the perfect protector. I also have their Matte protector and I'm getting the GLAS.t in soon. I'll have reviews up on my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/BlackPrince310.

Thanks for the review, I look forward to seeing your review of the glas.t product. I'll be ordering it via Amazon once SGP adds it to their Amazon storefront in the next 2-3 weeks (according to their email reply).

Oh hey i just saw your review last night i left a comment.
Good job. Have you tried noled app for notification ?

Added some photos.

+1 on this screen protector or +2 I should say as I have it on both my GNotes! If you get a clean application, it is superb!

Great to hear all of this!! Mine just shipped yesterday.

got my glast in today.
Installing wasnt as easy as place and press, and as soon as you breath the adhesive side is covered in dust. So i have lots of garbage under it that i cant not get rid of so basically have a 45$ eye sore, invisashield is easier and less messy than this

Which one is the glast? I paid 15 bucks for this Ultra Oleophobic and thought it was high (but went for it based on the reviews here), so if you paid $45 bucks for a screen protector, seems like a bit much.

Ah it is all glass. Well the price makes sense then. Sorry to hear that happened to you. Guess that is the advantage of a cheaper one, if they get dust, just throw them away.
I would write to Spigen and tell about this experience. One would hope there would be a way to clean, apply adhesive, and start over again at that price.

I apply my screen protectors in a small bathroom after running the hot shower for several minutes to try and limit floating dust. I am not sure it is effective, but have been able to get clean applications.

Heard this works too. Haven't tried it personally.

This screen protector just arrived and it is now in my garbage. First application had dust all under it and was nowhere near salvageable and the second application resulted in the screen protector literally cracking resulting in what looked like hair under the protector. I watched a crack form so I know it wasn't my golden locks.
20 bucks down the drain.
I think I'm over screen protectors.

what you need to do is just get the cheap screen protectors on ebay from hk. You can get like 3 of them for like 3 bucks. That is the route I usually go. Cant justify getting the so call premium screen protectors.

well, will know in a couple hours when the mail comes.
EDIT: It definitely was a surgical procedure to get this thing on just right, but oh man, it is AMAZING! You do need to rub off the glue on the front real good after you pull it away, but I actually like the feel of it compared to the screen. Can't even tell it is there!!!
One little tiny dust near an edge is all I can see. Maybe if I get too annoyed I will pry it up and use the dust removers (haha stickers). But it will probably just let more in.

Screen protector recommendation

Can i have some screen guard recommendation for Verizon Droid RAZR
Any brand that I should buy ...
Pros and cons
Screen protector for Droid Razr
Well I had ordered the Skinomi screen protector for the Droid Razr and it was pretty much useless for me. It is a water adhering type and could never get it straight until several attempts, and even then after it dried it felt very rubbery and not smooth to use on a touch phone.
I also had a couple of basic protectors ordered with 2 tpu gel cases I ordered from ebay and they were pathetic. Watch out using stuff they throw in for free on ebay with case orders as they aren't worth hassling to put on without bubbles and scratch easily anyway.
Funny enough, after spending 30 bucks on cases and screen protection I have gone back to using the screen unprotected and it fits a leather slide case I bought and cut the belt clip off of. Fits snuggly and the screen is protected in my pocket. I am careful when getting it in and out but have dropped it once and only a couple small scratches on the back corner, the screen is still perfect.
PS. on a side note when I first bought the Razr there were no screen protects available and I ended up using a HTC HD7 mobile screen protector and it was slightly wider and did not reach all the way top and bottom. I regret taking it off, as it fit without bubbles and was tough. Might just buy another and cut the sides off a bit.
Just got new screen protector in mail
Just received the QtFolix screen protector from Germany I ordered a couple weeks ago. Been waiting to try it out on the Razr.
I work in a private hospital in the sterilizing section so have access to dust free environment, air guns, lint free cloths and such. Its a stick on protector so no water needed. Will give it a good go to put it on and will post back with results. Looks like a good quality protector, set me back 10 bucks for just the one. I won't have second chances with this so fingers crossed.
Are there not enough threads on this?
Ghost Armor. Its invisible, and feels very close to the actual screen.

Martin fields SP is pretty good.
Steinheil ultra crystal, feels amazing and waterless application. Tried skinomi this time to save a few $$, took it off, it was horrible.
Steinheil Ultra Fine for me. No glare, no fingerprints and doesn't feel like it adds any thickness. In fact, it doesn't seem like it's even on.

Why do you even need a screen protector? It's already Gorilla Glass. Do you bump your phone against things all the time?
Nothing is going to scratch or crack the screen.
GG is not scratch proof. Especially against sand. There's a reason you always see them demo it against keys or coins but never use sand or glide it across a gritty sidewalk like if you dropped it and it slides. There's plenty of forum threads where people talk about scratches they've gotten.

I bought a 3 pack from Verizon and ordered some skinomies (spell?) Online. Took the Verizon one off today as it gathers a lot of smudges.
The way I see it, the average person won't scratch it naked. However, I've watched some drop test videos and this puppy cracks easy. So in my opinion, all a screen protector will do is keep those broken pieces intact, which will hold you over until you get a replacement.

I am using the clear screen protector from Verizon. Pretty good although I can see fingerprints in low light. And it took me 4 tries (read: 4 of them) to finally get it right.
My GF had a Zag clear screen protector put on her Droid X at a mall kiosk. Those things are hard to install yourself but a Rep at the mall can do it in no time. It looks great. Had I known about this, I would have done that for my Razr.

The Steinheil Ultra Fine covers the whole screen on mine except for cutouts for the mic, camera and flash.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'dry'. It has a squeegee for getting out air, but there was no water involved in putting it on and no instructions about leaving the phone off like the other poster was saying with another brand.
It went on very easily - no problems at all - but it does come with two in a package so if you did have trouble you have a spare.
I really love the anti-glare and no fingerprints. I had the one on that came with my Otterbox defender and before that just the bare screen. Both of those had me constantly wiping smudges off and battling glare more than I realized until it was no longer an issue.
Has anyone tried the Skinomi Drytech for the razr (GSM International)? I'm not sure if it'll even fit the US version of the phone, but it looks like it might be worth checking out. I can't post the link yet, but searching "razr dry" on the skinomi website will bring it up first on the list.

The wet application was fine.
Looked like crap after install (like I read) but looked much better in the morning. Ultimately, I ripped it off, as it leaves little half moon indents from fingernails. Can't have that.

Installed ZAGG invisible shield a few days ago, a scratch already? (or on screen?)

Hi guys, I'm new to Android OS and to Samsung phones, so welcome me! I came from using BlackBerry for years. Never tried iOS, nor owned an iPhone, so I hope I made the right choice.
So there's a scratch already on my phone. I can't tell whether it's on the screen protector or the screen itself... I'm debating whether I should peel the protector off and take a look (obviously losing it in the process).
How do I tell? I'm very obsessed about my new Note, so it's hard for me to not notice.
The screen protector was put on since day 1. The CSR from Future Shop (Best Buy owned in Canada), put it on for me and I sure hope he didn't scratch the screen while applying the cleaning solution, wiping it, etc. before putting on the screen protector (I was watching him do it)... The screen on the Note doesn't scratch easily does it?
im sure its only on the screen protector but that would make me weary of how well it protects. I replaced my screen protector and switched to a sgp protector cause on my original protector the s-pen scratched it....since I switched to sgp I have used the crap out of the s-pen and it hasnt scratched these yet

Thanks for fast reply. What is this SGP protector? I'm going to look into that.
It's a good thing I didn't pay for this ZAGG protector... It was $19.99 lol, they gave it to for free so I'm not so upset about it (as long as it isn't on the ACTUAL screen). I can actually register the product and ask for a replacement (since it's lifetime guarantee), but will cost me $3.99 for shipping.

That's what I've been wondering myself... I'm not sure where the scratch came from because I barely used the S-pen, and the scratch is half an inch long (noticed it on white background).
Anyway, that's what made me to believe that the scratch could be on the screen itself since there is also a little dust particle that I can see under.
Over time, my Zagg looked like it had many scratches and I could not discern whether it was on the screen or Zagg. Eventually, I removed it out of annoyance with the orange peel and tackiness. The Zagg did it's job. I liked other wet protectors more because they felt more like glass and didn't have the orange peel. I'm using a dry SGP now, it's very nice. I'd recommend the SGP over the Zagg any day of the week.

This is another gripe I have about my screen protector... The orange peel feeling and the fact that the S-Pen is HORRIBLE with it. Anyway, I don't use the pen much so it's fine.
I do like it since it hides fingerprints well. I guess I do have to try SGP.. Wet and dry protectors? I'm assuming dry is just the usual adhesive style, while wet is the ZAGG where you have to use the liquid solution?
Here is what my SGP looks like and I have used the s pen alot
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Another thing... the Zagg protector doesn't cover the top right side of the phone as well.
While I did not choose a zagg to put on my gnote, I have used them in the past and they can take some serious abuse! Unless you really smacked, it I doubt the scratch went through.
I went with a sgp since it is clearer and for the s-pen. I wanted the s-pen to have as close to a stock screen as possible and the sgp does that very well.

My concern is if the scratch got onto the screen before the protector is on. Anyway, I'm probably just overreacting. I couldn't remember how the scratch got onto the screen protector, so I was thinking it was under it

I've used Invisibleshield (Zagg nowadays) protectors for years now on 5 or 6 different devices. Never managed to scratch it. If you scratched the protector, you'd know it. It would have either had to have been something as sharp as a knife, or have taken a pretty good hit.
But, if you see dirt or dust behind it, then the install area wasn't very clean. So, is it possible that the "scratch" you are seeing could be some debris between the protector and the screen (like maybe a hair)?

If it was hair, wouldn't it just show a black line? The "scratch" is distorting the color (more pronounced in white background).

Hey, hope you read this and share if you eventually found out if the scratch was on the protector or underneath after several months.
I have the same exact problem as you, I am seeing some scratch color distortion in white background. Hopefully the scratch is on the protector, not the screen. Problem is I have no way to know since I didn't install the protector myself, unless of course I remove it which I don't want to do right now.
You can always replace it through zagg.com for only the cost of shipping the old one back and the new one to you. To the USA is 3.99 I believe.

Clear no-liquid screen protector recommendation

When I got my phone, I was going to get the $15 pack of Sprint screen protectors: the dry ones I've always used. Except... they were anti-glare and they don't have clear and I don't like the sparkles and reduced resolution of anti-glare or matte screen protectors. So the store talked me into the Zagg. I'm not a fan of the wet-apply screen protectors but thought I'd give it a shot for once. To each their own: some may love them, but I hate this Zagg screen protector and find it almost unusable! Orange peel out the wazoo (I can live with that since it doesn't reduce resolution) but the worst thing is that it's "sticky" like soft rubber. I can't even slide my finger (well) on this thing! Tried cleaning it and no amount of cleaning, washing hands, pressing lighter, etc. fixes it. Sliding my finger feels like I have dried sticky soda on my fingers.
So... being early in the game, has any one found a dry-apply clear screen protector they'd recommend, either from local stores (Best Buy, etc.) or online?
Edit: Maybe I should have posted this in accessories, but thought maybe someone had a solution to the sticky Zagg so I put it here.
Thanks,

Well i always used the cheapo SP, and i ordered four for $2 from Ebay the other day. Took like 2 days to get to my house. Only thing is, is that it dosen have the cut-out for the proximity sensor, but it functions just fine. Turns off when i make phone calls and everything. Some may not have luck with others that dont have the cutout, but this one works just fine. heres the link. If you want, i can send you one to try out. I have 3 left, and there no way ill use all these. WEnt on super easy and looks good. Lemme know. PM ME if u want. Be glad to mail ya one. Also, the one from Sprint SUCK. they dont even cover the whole phone. Just the screen itself. THey dont even go all the way doesn to the buttons. Unreal

I purchased from a luckeyminky on eBay. It is the type with two step application. First step exposes the sticky side. Smooth out the bubbles. Then remove step two layer. I reccomend cutting the top right cornner . It will get caught and eventually pull the protector off. Also if you get a piece of lint use one piece of scotch tape to life the screen protector another to grab the piece of dust. Did that last night with awesome results.

Applying screen protectors the right way?

So, how do you apply a screen protector on this phone without getting any bubbles/dust?
I've looked up many, many videos on how to apply a screen protector, but 90% of the time, the dust would come back on when I plucked it off with tape.
Also, these are the Sprint screen protectors.
I really dig the zagg ones because you get the spray to apply it with.
As far as the sprint ones, wipe off the screen with a microfiber cloth and pray.
I'm pretty sure you need to go to a large research university and apply it in a vacuum to get it to be airbubble free

I personally like the 3M ones you get on eBay. Same idea as the zagg ones at a quarter of the price. Mines been on 11 months now with no lifting. I lightly mist the protector with a liquid soap/water mixture and place it onto the clean screen, at this point it still slides a bit. Get it into the perfect position and use a thin t-shirt or something over the edge of a credit card to squeeze out the excess liquid. The t-shirt will also soak up the little bit of liquid that comes out so it doesn't get into the phone.
I've done this with several other phones in the past as well with zero issues.

These use a wet application process. Just a heads up. It's not as clear as other screen protectors.

I have one on my phone, have for weeks. It is completely transparent to me, I see no absolutely no clarity issues.

Hmm maybe they changed it for the G. I have their screen protector on my nexus 7 and my friend has it on his S3 and its feel, look, texture isn't the same as my realook one.

Did it take you guys a long time to receive your screen protectors? I ordered one on the 14th and I still haven't received it yet. Starting to get a little worried.

I got mine within like 2 weeks I think. I haven't actually applied it yet though, I'm still debating if I want to put it on. When you guys get it, let me know how it feels and reacts.

Why do you need a screen protector for a phone that has Gorilla Glass on it?!? (in this case gorilla glass 2) I have never ever scratched a phone with gorilla glass, I dont use a case and I do put it in my pocket. (empty pocket of course) in my opinion if you put a case/screen protector you only take away from the great design of the phone.
Dude, some people lead busy and active lives that are hazardous to fragile things like glass. To condemn a huge portion of the population who like to keep their $600 toy from getting a knick in it or worse is pretty asinine.

Gorilla glass 2 is trash. If your expecting the same from it that you did the original your in for some heartbreak.
Captivate 2 years not a single scratch still flawless. G2 og scratched twice in first 2 weeks. Luckily my screen protector hides the scratches so I'm not pulling my hair out from ocd.
Stay away from XtremeGuard

These protectors are terrible. I bought three, and I had to throw all of them away due to complications while installing. If you manage to get it applied, you will end up with air bubbles or soap stuck under the protector. I have applied dozens of dry screen protectors over the years, and this was my first (and last attempt) at a wet application screen protector. The coupon price was still in effect last week, so I bought three of these protectors. They arrived today. I read the included instructions and watched two videos about how to apply them. While trying to apply one, there was soap stuck under the middle of the protector, and it would not come out, no matter how much flattening I attempted with the included hard plastic tool. In fact, the screen was easily scratched by flattening it out. I had to throw away that first one.
I used less soap for the second one, but there were air bubbles and soap was stuck under the protector again. I then tried to reuse this protector without soap, but it was simply too sticky to arrange properly. When I had finally gotten it in the right position, the air bubbles would simply not come out.
The third time, I used a different kind of soap. Same problems. Soap and air bubbles stuck under the screen. The screen protector scratches and deforms when attempting to get out the bubbles.
Again, I've applied many dry screens, so I am familiar with the trickiness of bubbles. I have overcome them many times. With these wet screen protectors, you simply cannot remove the bubbles, and you will deform the protector while attempting to remove bubbles. If for some reason you enjoy throwing away money and time and wish to install this protector, first cover up the phone's ear speaker. A lot of water and soap seeped in while attempting to install these things.
Thanks, Just ordered one!
Anyone know of cheap back protectors?
