Im a zagg fan. Been using it for my hd7 and now i777, It costs quite a bit but it fits my standard. The cheaper one still good but i hate the fact that its not glossy like zagg and i got goosebumps everytime i tried to txt (happens to me w/ dry surface) anyway. Zagg has been good for me w/ lifetime warranty.

I hate Zagg. Too sticky feel.
I use Rearth Ringbo..

No screen protector at all. No case either. Phone should be durable enough to last one year. By then I'll be buying a new phone anyways.

Haha...thanks guys I used the sgp oleopholbic for a while...wasn't super impressed

I'm using GhostArmor. I used to use Zagg's InviShield, but now they started using very thick plastic or w/e, and it's too sticky.Ghost Armor's a 20 dollar original investment. They install it for you for 20, or you can buy it yourself for 15. You can get it replaced for life for a 5 dollar install fee, or free if you install yourself.
I been using SGP on all my devices.
I hate the orange peel resistance feel on the zagg.
I got the SGP oleopholbic and like them pretty well. Got 2 for $13 off amazon, but screwed up the first one installing it. Still not a bad price though. Hasn't scratched at all and feels and looks identical to the glass on the phone. Oils and fingerprints wipe off well too.
Screen protectors are for losers who cant afford a warranty...

damn.. then I'm a loser LOL
Accidental Warranty is just too damn expensive
Another vote for the SGP protectors. I use the Ultra Crystal on mine. Have to say the best protectors to date. I have used quite a few (Boxwave, Zagg, Javoedge, ebay, etc) on a variety of devices and these are by far the best.

I used a 99cent ebay one for a few days but found that it was much more resistant to the sliding of my fingers and held on to fingerprints more than the bare screen. Also, I got kind of scared that I was going to somehow screw up the oleophobic coating on the screen glass by using it.

I just got a 5 pack from Amazon. They were all garbage. I contacted the seller and he offered a 20% refund (after acknowledging a defect). **** that! I want all of my money back considering they are no good!

^And that's why you just pay the premium price of getting Rearth Ringbo or SGP for around $9-$15 for a pack of two.

Well I didn't really need them. My wife and I already have steinheils and hers is scratched. She decided she wanted to change hers more often, so I got her a 5 pack.

I got a pack of SGP Ultra Oleo for both mine and my sister's phones. I messed up one of the two (because of the misleading instructions :/) but they had no problem sending me replacements free of charge.
One of the reasons why I always buy SGP products
I got mine from Ebay. Pack of 5 former 3 bucks. Can't remember brand but it was a us seller. Almost perfect placement, just one tiny bubble on the upper left part, and the feel is pretty nice.
I order one of these. Waiting to get it. Seems like a quality item. Any thoughts?

I also ordered the Rearth screen protector from Amazon. I received it today and installed it on my note. Its incredibly clear. The install was super easy and the fit is great. So far Im really enjoying it.
I bought the slim case today looks like the kit comes with the screen protector, I wonder how well the screen protector will do with the S pen. http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_note_slim.html

any bubbles? mine will be here tomorrow!
Not a single bubble. It's very nice. It also seems to not collect oil from your hands either.
I got it and I would say it's a perfect fit. To be bubble free depends on your experience applying it. It is no different however from the $3 for 5 pack dry application protectors you find on ebay (rearth comes with 2). I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for amazon free 2 day shipping. I don't want to wait 3 weeks for a hongkong seller to mail it.

I got the Ringke Slim. I really like the in-hand feel. Gives the Note just the right "oomph" without adding a ton of bulk.
Keep in mind that this is a very minimalist case -- a lot of people were caught off guard by this. The sides are largely exposed, for example.
Also, the back is not tacky like a TPU case. I added egrips.
The port covers are nice, they come with one extra of each, and they are easily removable if you dont like them. I removed the charger port cover and kept the 3.5mm cover.
FYI it's cheaper on amazon if you have Prime.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0074MQ1T6

Yup. I ordered mine thru prime. You can't beat the $3.99 overnight shipping. I'm waiting on a sd card from Amazon right now.
Just got the rearth and applied it. Perfect fit - it will extend to less than 0.5mm from the edge of the screen if you do it right.
I was hoping the oleophobic properties were better. More fingerprints and friction than I would like.

I too bought the Rearth from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Rearth-Samsun...Q1T6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330046814&sr=8-1
I just applied my screen protector tonight. Got it on the first try. I've installed 10-20 screen protectors before so I have experience.
I bought the Zagg a couple days ago at best Buy and totally screwed it up! What a waste of $22. Never buying Zagg again. Plus, the Zagg screen protector feels a little "sticky" not as smooth as the Rearth.
The Rearth is almost like it's not there. We'll see if it shows as many scratches as the cheap-o ones that come from Hong Kong. I too usually buy those ones for my phones, but I didn't want to wait 3 weeks. There was no U.S. sellers. I figured spending $12 now with free 2 shipping is better than taking a chance at scuffing up the screen before I got the screen protectors from eBay.
I purchased the Slim case from Rearth for my Note also.
I've had three Rearth cases now and also have the vecro keyboard cover for my macbook.
I absolutely love their products. Exactly what they say they are.
The screen protector works, looks, and feels great imo.
Easy to install, crystal clear, perfect fit. I love it.
I like the screen protector. Fits perfect and is clear so much so that I don't even know its on

Have you looked a the ZAGG Shield? I know people tend to either love or hate them, but I find them to be top notch and put them on every device I own.

+1 on the Zagg. some folks don't like the feel of it, but if that doesn't bother you it's the best protection for the price.
I do NOT like Zagg at all.

The old ones felt kinda like orange peels and looked weird after a while. They have definitely changed. I got full body for $12.50 during their sale and it's actually liquid smooth and crystal clear.

I like the newer zagg cases.
My girlfriends zagg for the captivate felt very much like an orange peel but, it didn't bother her.
I got zagg and it feels nothing like hers.. The Upside is for the low price of like 8$ at best buy if I ever need another one put on, they will do it at no charge.. Plus the way zagg will exchange screen protectors is honestly awesome.
It was nice for bestbuy to put another screen protector on my phone when I had to trade in the phone no questions asked.
Hi I was wondering does anyone have a 50% off code for a Zagg invisible shield you can pm me thanks so much I would greatly appreciate it have a Merry Christmas

Lol that brand name sounds so generic to me. Have you tried it personally?
I bought my Zagg at best buy mobile when me and my wife got our phones this month. they had a promo to get 2 for $35. I immediately took advantage since i hate scratches and smudges on my screen. No complaints really. only thing is, you can definitely tell where the s pen has been when the screen is off. The grooves the s pen leaves are hardly bothersome, but could be annoying to some. The grooves don't seem to ever go away, but are less noticeable the more you use your s pen.
Sent From My Gargantuan Note 2
I think its a toss up. The Spigen SGP protectors are pretty nice and are cheaper. The Invisible Shield HD is the best zagg offering: imo the smudge proof one really makes the screen look bad.
Zagg are more prone to peeling in pockets. Heat above 90 and being in the sun will almost guarantee you'll need a replacement. Spigen covers less of the phones edges.
Sorry I didnt have a coupon

I have them on a acer, macbook air, nexus 7 and my note. They are awesome, cheap and the service is great.
Honestly you will be greatly disappointed if you plan on using your S-Pen at all, every time you use it the indentations will build up and the Zagg Shield will look really crappy. Get something like SGP Steinheil, or something like it they will hold up to S-Pen use and daily abuse.

We've had this phone out for about 4 months now and I was just wondering what screen protectors you guys are using, post a link of where you bought it and personal opinion about the protector and any other helpful information! I've been using this cheap protector for such a long time, now it's time to see what's really out there! :laugh::good:
Mine is built into my Otterbox case. I forget which model, I'll have to look for you, and I absolutely hate it. It's raised very slightly off my screen so I have to press down a with a little more effort, it hinders my typing speed. I'm planning on taking an exacto blade and taking out the screen protector and using one of the regular ones, but damn it I always get air bubbles

You have an otterbox defender. And I'm considering doing the same thing. I'm thinking of getting one of those "wet apply" screen protectors to avoid getting bubbles. I might just get a ghost armor next time I go to the mall.
I'm sure I'll get **** for this but I really do love the invisible shield.
I just wish they made the HD one for the DNA, my gf has it on her iPhone 5 and it's awesome.

I wanted a ZAGG invisible shield, as I had one for the HTC EVO V 4G and it was the 1st screen protector I used, it was great quality. I searched everywhere and could not find one for the DNA, only 1 store on Amazon had it and it got bad reviews. I decided to go with the Armor Military Grade one. Had it on for a couple days, so far feels just as great as the ZAGG.

I use this screen protector on mine and I love it. This was my first screen protector where you need to apply wet and I haven't looked back since putting it on. It doesn't take away from the display and fits perfect and is easy to put on. I ordered mine off amazon and got it cheaper than 12$ at the time. I also got a lifetime warranty on it so if it gets too worn down I will just get a new one. Deffidently the best one I have found so far.

Word! I can't stand the feel of screen protectors. The feel of the glass in way better. I treat my phone like a baby, and sit in an office all day. I guess if I were out in the field I might put a protector on it. But this is the whole point of all this high-tech glass, to make them virtually impossible to break or scratch.

Glass is glass. It will still shatter with enough force (not that a screen protector would save it from that). But even still, small particles of sand and rock and such can still easily scratch the screen. Don't believe its scratch proof when its scratch resistant.
