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.
Nothing beats Ghost Armor. They install it and no air bubbles. Plus lifetime warranty.

Do you have one on your DNA? If so, is it just the screen or a full body one?

Just put the zagg hd on mine. I've always done ghost armor but this seems just as nice. Not a big fan of applying myself because I'm picky but otherwise good. Just make sure you wait 3 days for all the blemishes and bubbles to clear before pocketing it for best results

Just ordered the Skinomi Teckskin...made to fit the DNA, its a wet application and you only get one for $12. Opposed to the 3 you get at VZW but those are cheap and don't fit as nice.

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.

I'm using the Otterboxone and its ok, no bubbles, no peeling and no effect on accuracy or feel. It does have a bluish wave when the screen is off but you can't see it at all when its on even if you try.

If you want a great screen protector, go with the SGP Steinheil Series [Ultra Crystal]:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-P...6SUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330006064&sr=8-1
Greatest screen protector I have EVER had. The coating on the screen protector makes it feel like you are touching the glass, there is NO rainbow effect, size is great (if you put it on right, which is pretty easy, it seems like there is no screen protector at all), no peel at all, and no residue left if you decide to take it off.
Wow! Wish i had enough money to buy all these. Still enough i just want one that can keep the screen safe, without bubbles, and is smooth... I heard the 19100 has such. Maybe i could use those.
You'd have to trim it just above the capacitive buttons since it had the physical button cut out

Another +1 for this - got it a week ago, and I honestly can't tell it's on there. With the Skinomi carbon fiber on the back (I skipped the side pieces), when I don't use a case, I still feel "protected"
I havnet found any white ones. i know what your talking about. ive been looking for one too.
my infuse has it on it.
Are there really any differences between a $10+ screen protectors vs the $1.00 ones?
My $1.50 for 3 screen protectors off Ebay work just fine. I hardly even notice it is there. No bubbles and it still looks the same as the first day I put it on (3+ months).

It's a screen protector that's actually made out of glass.
It's been chemically treated to resist scratches and fingerprints.
Ships out next week.... Was thinking about getting one....
Here's the review for the iphone version of it:

It's 0.5 mm so maybe certain cases won't fit

I wish I waited, well now I am getting a second screen protector.
i saw this last week, great tip!
but i ordered a Zenus Air Capsule. i've heard they are a tight fit, so i wonder if that protector wouldn't work with the Air Capsule. i'd love to hear from someone who has tried it!
Wow...this looks really tempting. Gives me even more reason to wait for the Note to drop further in subsidized price...preferably to $200.
I don't see the point of putting glass on it, it will be just thicker when we are looking for the thinnest screen protector? Right?
I wonder though if the thickness would affect the sensitivity of the pen? Those of u checking this out let us know
it's really good. Thanks for info.

Common misconception.
The screen itself does not detect pressure from the S Pen. It uses electromagnetic resonance. This means that what affects the levels of pressure are in the S Pen itself. The S Pen is powered by resonant coupling to my understanding.
What does this mean for us? Screen protectors of any size.
Try it for yourself. you can draw through cardboard and even hover paper 1cm ABOVE the screen. Scribble on that paper and you'll see that it write below.
Awesome tech
That actually makes sense, thanks for the info. So people who are experiencing s pen problems do u think it is caused more than likely by not calibrating the pen, or by having a faulty pen?

It is very impressive, doesn't leave a lot of prints and fitting is perfect. You should check it out. I see they have more expensive ones for different purpose.
+1 on the SGP. I ordered Ultra Oleophobic. They are superb! Amazon has them for $16 and you get two protectors.

Got the same case, except in black. There is really no room for error for the screen protector install. Mine was just a hair off at the bottom and I made the awful call to pull it up- got a couple lint spots now. Not horrible, but still annoying.
I will be buying a two pack of the Oleo version to replace this one down the road. I figure a couple pieces of lint isnt worth trashing the entire protector right away.
Whats your take on the actual case? I think its a little loose fitting.
Tried them all.
SGP is the only brand I will ever use. (their cases are great too)
They are taking preorders for a glass on glass screen protector.

The problem is, it's far from invisible. It has a soft surface which causes the protector to get scratches. It gives it an almost sticky feel compared to a protector / glass with a higher surface hardness.
Also it doesn't transmit as much light as I would like, and it's not chemically treated to protect it from fingerprints.
The only reason it's successful is marketing.

Have you ever tried any other wet screen protectors? Zagg is the only one I've used with the annoying orange peel. It also feels the most rubbery. I will never buy Zagg again.
I always used PowerSupport screen protectors on my iPhone, but it appears that the company doesn't make protectors for the iPhone. Going on recommendations, I got an SGP ultra clear protector from Amazon on Tuesday. It went on very easy. I was very careful and have no bubbles or dust and it's lined up perfectly.
You can't even tell it's there. The s pen glides along very smoothly.
It compares very favorably to the PowerSupport protectors.
Well I ordered the oil repellent one because of a skin condition I have that requires me to apply a lot of lotion so hopefully that'll make my phone experience more enjoyable.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have the moshi ivisor also. Ordered the sgp ultra oleophobic earlier this week and it came today! Will be installing it later and taking the ivisor back to ATT.
Update: I installed the SGP and it looks 1000% better than the moshi ivisor matte screen protector. I like the ease of install on the ivisor, but the matte just detracts from the screen. I borked the first sgp due to three specks of dust and when I tried to get them out with the included stickers, I made it worse. Luckily it comes with two and I got a clean install on the second one!

Bummer man, all in how it lands, even with a case there's always a chance that the shock will hit just right (or wrong). I don't even bother with cases anymore because I always see people with their shattered phone screens in big cases. I think cases are probably the best for avoiding nicks to the body of the phone, but most are not gonna prevent a cracked screen.
i think if you didn't have the case, the screen would have shattered to an extent of being unusable, so it could have been worst. Typically, decent cases protect small falls due to the case's lip. I guess you were very unlucky.

Well you can still purchase insurance or a extended warranty. Also, if you purchased the phone with a premium credit card, your credit card company will fix it for you for free.
All of the broken screen threads blame the phone, and it always seems to be some ridiculous drop. "I dropped my phone two inches onto a pile of cotton balls and unicorn fur...screen shattered".
Gorilla glass is not break resistant, it is scratch resistant. It sucks that your screen is broken, but in no way is it Corning's or Samsung's fault.

Been SO curious about the glass screen protectors. you like them? I have always used the PET (hard plastic ones not the 3m film) and think they are great. Does the glass ones scratch less than the PET film ones?
OP, that really sucks man! However, If you dont want to use insurance (its probably about a $150 deductible) if you can live with it for a couple weeks, replacement glass should start popping up on ebay and such. I have replaced glass for many friends on a lot of different phones and its SUPER easy. You can usually buy a kit with the tools you need and everything for less than $20. :good:

Hi everybody. My Note 3 was protected by a screen protector. I just remove it right now because the pen let some marks on the screen and its very annoying.

Hi everybody. My Note 3 was protected by a screen protector. I just remove it right now because the pen let some marks on the screen and its very annoying. Also, I have the Samsung Flip Cover the one with the screen. My question is should I put another screen protection or its not necessary? It is easy to scratch the screen.
Thanks

Screens do get scratched and you must need a protector.

I wouldn't say it's easy to scratch the screen. It is possible though and it's much cheaper to replace a screen protector than a screen. Sounds like you were using a cheap plastic one. I'd recommend you look into a tempered glass protector which will not compromise the look and feel of the device compared to plastic protectors and you certainly won't have any problems with the protector being marked with the pen.

WOW... I have been using one for 2 months now... never scratched it. PLUS you can get a new one for the price of shipping from them as they are lifetime.
I recommend a screen protector with ALL S view cases. they tend cut into the screen at mid point. Temper glass should be better. Get one with smooth edges though.
I have a tempered glass screen protector that I bought on ebay for about 8 dollars. About 2 months ago, and it looks great on the phone. Doesn't compromise the looks of the screen and doesn't scuff up when I use the pen.

Are the S-pen marks from worn out tips or new tips?
I have the same screen cover and I have no such issue. Screen is as flawless as when I got my screen cover.
Alot of ppl with the scovers have been complaining about the screen getting a press line in it from the bottom of the sview window.
I have always used screen protectors. The one I used on my last 2 devices (including my N3) is Ghost Armor. A bit pricey, but they have a lifetime warranty
i have seen many customer bringing in multiple devices scratched. it almost always happens in situations you least expect. i had a construction worker come in. phone was beat to death and the screen was perfect yet a lady came in after bumping her phone on the side of her car and scratching it bad so you just never know. i got a zagg glass on mine and its awesome. feels just like the screen. why take the chance.

Yup.
Why risk a 6-700 dollar device?
I am careful with my phone and haven't noticed any scratches.
As for the s-pen leaving marks, you could try using a a different tip. Your Note 3 should have come with extra tips, if you look closely they are different.
