The Flyer magic Pen would work better, for note taking, when using a matt surface. any ideas on a good matt screen protector?
I can confirm the Scribe works better with a Matt screen protector.

Too bad they're not shipping this to Germany. Why on earth are the good things only available in the UK ?
I put a zagg shield on mine and prefer it over the "naked" screen. I like the feel of th zagg when using the Flyer w/wo the pen.
I just ordered the Skinomi Carbon Fiber protector

Thank you so much, I already dug through Amazon.de, but I couldn't find any matte screen protector - is that one a matte one? I am after a matte protection in order to receive more natural writing experience as reported.pe
Edith speaking: this is the only matte one available in good ol' Germany. Thanks for the notice! Finally, the Navitech case is shipping here as well .
Well I'm pretty sure it's matt.
But you can also take the one from mumbi. They are available as "antiflex" and "cristalclear" ones... I bet all of them are pretty much the same so I bet you could go for the one I posted before or you can get the mumbi screen protector which is even cheaper.

Is the screen protector matte? Looking at the site it looks like it may be glossy...

Could you post where you purchased one in the US?
I just took off my matte screen (GreatShield from Amazon US).
I didn't think it helped that much with using the pen and it really dulled my screen. Maybe there is another brand matte screen that doesn't dull the screen as much as the GS shield does?
Additionally... there is no cutout for the front facing camera.
Tried two matt protectors, this one was easy to apply and does not dull the screen too much but enhances note taking: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S79VE2/ref=oss_product
I think this is Euro product.
I just applied the GrestShield product from Amazon referenced above... Both posts are the same product. I bought mine from and Amazon UK, but was fulfilled from the US.
I prefer the matte / anti-glare because it reduces fingerprints on large touchscreen devices. The screen protector is made of a thicker plastic which builds confidence from a protection perspective. It does reduce the brightness of the device slightly, but I've had my flyer set on the lowest brightness setting for indoor use. Increasing the brightness should help.
I haven't played much with the pen yet, but I see no added affect good or bad. Again its the reassurance of protecting the screen with a metal accessory in such close proximity. Especially if you plan to use the other end of the pen as a capacitive stylus.
Overall very happy with the screen protector so far.
UPDATE: the screen protector makes the front camera unusable, but mine was such a poor quality I had essentially written it off. But I will keep an eye out for one with the camera cut-out.
I found the matt GreatShield was difficult to apply (caught a lot of air bubbles) and dulled the screen too much, but does make it easier to use the stylus for detailed notes.
I got the GreatShield clear screen protector and it works great. I don't even notice it's on and the pen works great. Now I can apply pressure when drawing and not worry about scratching the screen. Not too difficult to put on. It does cover the front camera, but since it's clear, I don't really notice a difference. I got the screen protector from Amazon in the US.

I find it a little strange to look through. My screen really lost on clarity, it is now all like covered with dust, a bit like through snow or something... definitely not the best experience with the FoliX. Maybe I need to get used to it, but I had a better experience (though no anti-glare) with glossy protectors on my smartphones back then.

Yes my one seemed like at first, but I seem not to notice it now. Also the feel when using finger input (swipes etc) is better.
The mate screen protector deteriorates the clarity of the screen slightly... It like a haze. For now, it's worth the sacrifice for protections sake. But self definitely keeping an eye out for more options in the future.
Hey Guys,
New ATT LTE Note owner here coming from an iPhone that i've used for 4+ years. Anyhow, does anyone have any good recommendations on screen protectors? I've been reading the other threads, but they just dont give me enough info. I ordered the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, wondering what it looks like and if anyone can post pics of theirs? That would be awesome. Also does anyone know where I can get a replacement back housing that is leathery like the Blackberry Bold 9000?
A screen protector is a screen protector. Doesn't matter about what device you put it on. So, just search for screen protector and you will get your answer. Another thread is not necessary. Also, the Note has Gorilla Glass and you really don't need a screen protector. I understand this is personal preference, though.

You do need it if you are going to be around sand which will easily scratch the screen if you get one speck on your finger.
It has happened before and will happen again.
To protect investment I highly advice to get a screen protector put on the screen. There's been few threads talking about their Note has been scratched. SGP is a good brand, one of the members here suggested it and I replaced my Zagg screen with it, it feels more natural than Zagg, although I still think Zagg is more durable.
As for leathery back cover, no idea. Seidio is coming out w/ their own set of protective case. Their product has never failed me. Great protection.
OK, I'm not one to often recommended $35 screen protectors, but this is the first time I've been able to bear any sp for more than a day. I did get 2 tiny specs under it that are noticeable with the screen off in bright light, but I can't even tell an sp is on when I'm using it.

Why this? Jeez
i got the zagg screen protector from best buy with my reward card for 6 bucks. It is the one with the wet install. Surprisingly the install was quite easy and painless. I was thoroughly impressed. It is not like a one shot deal when you install it. You can move the screen protector around until it is right. Just spray more water whenever it is needed. ( and no I dont work for Zagg..lol)
Zagg is the worst screen protector, ever, period.
It sucks even more with our S-Pen since Zagg has a "rubbery" feeling or texture on it. Since the whole point of the screen protector is to protect the screen from being scratched and mimic the feeling of the bare glass, your best bet is the regular thin plastic screen protectors. That is, unless, you are willing to get the glass screen protectors.
But then if you like it then that's all that matters.

Because here we go with yet another thread so everyone can chime in with their opinion about which is the best screen protector. And my opinion is that you don't need one with GG.

Gorilla Glass is Scratch Resistant, NOT Scratch Proof, Scratch Proof glass does NOT exist. Even if it GG was as tough as diamonds, the protectors provide some extra protection for your screen in the case of drops, bumps, etc. Me, I don't want to take any chances.

+1, but he is technically right that you don't NEED one. It seems like the odds are in favor of no scratches or minimal scratches. I live in Florida and there's a lot of sand. I'd rather take a knife to my GG than sand... I always use a screen protector.
SGP all the way get the ultra crystal.

i ordered a screen protector x 5 for just under 5 bucks from eBay. I replace every 6 months.
Sadly there is no sand where I live. (I am jealous of you who have sand!) And, I can understand that a sandy environment is a good reason to protect the device more.
The reason I chimed in was to protest yet another thread about "what screen protector is the best". Then I added my opinion.
I agree that SGP are very good.
SGP Glass
The SGP glass screen protector is the best I used two others and the s-pen left marks all over them the SGP Glass was a bit pricey but well worth it looks perfect clear as glass and hard so s-pen will not mark it up I will never go back to a film form now on i'll use an SGP glass protector on all my phones
Hey guys, I just got some cheap MATTE Anti Glare Screen Protector from ebay for my sxs. The protector feels great, it does not leave any dust or finger prints, and feels fantastic when playing games. BUT! I don't know if its the material, after installing the screen protector, the screen resolution some how downgrades...anyone had matte before knows what I'm talking about. I really love how the screen feels, but it just messes up the beautiful screen. Is there anything like that on the market, but doesn't mess up the screen resolution? Please let me know!!!
it's a known issue of the antiglare screen protector....i got xtremeguard from ebay and it's better then zagg... and fits perfectly the screen... is so amazing :laugh: (just a little orange peel 90% less then zagg)
Typical of all matte protectors as its not a smooth surface.

I've read several posts about tempered glass screen protectors but haven't found a review of this product. It's more expensive than others but I like that it's colored and seems to cover the entire front of the phone. I've seen one other colored protector but doesn't appear to cover as much. This would serve two purposes for me. I'd like to protect my phone while also changing the color. I hate to spend top dollar on a phone accessory without any real world reviews.

This doesn't look like a good investment based on your reasoning for buying, I bought a Spigen tempered glass protector, but had I done more research I would have definitely saved myself some money on a cheaper product. Glass is glass, there is no such thing as super scratch resistant glass. If you want to change the color of the device buy a wrap AND a glass protector for less money, combined than this product. IMO, not a good but, but make your own determination.

So, let me get this straight...
"Sir Lancelot's" protector? Absolutely NO reviews on their own website? OR on Amazon's site, yet ONLY 16 are left? Rush, rush, i say, they may run out. After all, getting a no-name brand, Oh, no, sorry, Sir Lancelot's brand, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, go on, plunk down almost $40. Let us know what you think. I think it's an AWESOME idea.
<yes, all of that was sarcasm>
It's colored because that's where the adhesive is located. No bubbles because the middle section doesn't even adhere to the screen itself. Do yourself a favor and pay $7 for a real tempered glass protector. Heck, buy 4 or 5 for the price of one of those just so you have some lying around if you want.
Thanks for the feedback. I know there are several reasonably priced clear protectors but I was hoping to try out a white one. I've always had black phones and wanted to try something different by going with a white cover. I don't want to buy a product without any hands on reviews. It's odd there are no reviews of the Holy Grail or Znitro protectors.
All these test they do on TG are BS, why don't they just rub some sand on it, i'm sure scratches will turn up.

What I discovered with my GS3 and then carried over to my Note 2' then 3, is I'd rather just order a black phone and just buy replacement backs of the other color. I realized I didn't like the look of the white bezel around a black screen on the white phone. If I ordered a black phone and just got a white back, it would actually look cleaner with the front all black.
I did get the Spigen Glas-Tr slim and have been happy with it. You can get cheaper tempered glass protectors, but try to get one with rounded off edges as the other ones can chip (also the rounded just feels nicer. I did get a cheaper one for my iPad and I think the rounded makes a difference in feel when your hands touch the edges.
Finally, beware with tempered glass protectors as some cases won't work anymore because the phone will be slightly thicker.

By wrap, I mean a product like a Skinomi, http://www.skinomi.com/saganoiii.html which will allow you to change the appearance of the device. BTW, the glass screen protector will not look white on your phone, so no worries about that.

Oh I see. I just got a slickwrap but it doesn't go on top of my tempered glass protector well.. I wonder if a regular screen protector would work better because it's less thick.
I got mine a few days ago, been very happy with it
Does get very greasy through fingerprints though..
Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone knows for sure whether or not the Pixel is going to have curved edges like the Galaxy S7?

If you're talking about the screen, the edges of the screen are curved.

Are you sure? It looks pretty flat from really looking at it...
It definitely has a curved edge. However, none of us know yet, whether the curve starts close enough to the edge to allow tempered glass screen protectors to fit without issues, or not. We will know shortly.
its suppose to be curved similar to how the iphone and note 4 are i believe.
Looks like it's going to have curved edges. Look at the images on this screen protector page. Looks like they are making it so that there's no halo effect.

yeah, a number of the TG descriptions say the same thing. I'm fine with that, hate the halo.
This is one of those things I dislike about a lot of new phones. The slight curve at the edge looks nice, but makes screen protectors more difficult to deal with.
I'd much prefer a perfectly flat screen so that I can get a nice glass screen protector that covers the entire face of the phone. This is why I keep falling back to the Spigen plastic film screen protectors on my Nexus 6, they cover as far out on the edges as possible. I just replace them as they get scratched.
I've got a Orzly pro fit protector on the way and it says the edges are curved on it to fit the screen perfectly

Does it say when the protector is estimated to arrive? I just ordered the Orzly protector this morning and I'm really hoping it will magically get here before the phone does, even though shipping estimate for the protector is Nov 14 - 28.

The purpose isn't even to look nice with a screen protector (which are useless anyway -- won't stop you from cracking the screen, since it will crack right through a screen protector). The purpose of curved edges is to EXPOSE the screen to drop damage, since the screen now sticks out beyond the frame instead of being tucked slightly into the frame.
This is what they do in order to maintain sales volumes when they realize that phone technology is so good now that you are likely to keep the same phone for several years. Make them break and you have to replace!
I can confirm that the pixel has curved edges and it is slightly less curved compared to the oneplus 3

Good deal. This means the Orzly TG protector with black borders should be a perfect option. I have the Skinomi wet apply protector going on the phone when it arrives tomorrow and it will hold me over until the Orzly protector arrives in November.
