Same material as any phone.
Get a glas.t
Ive got the White note and the zagg and I haven't had either of those problems.

It doesn't show scratches any worse than any other phone. And as far as the screen. I haven't used a screen protector since Gorilla glass was invented. Never had a scratch on my Captivate, Infuse, or Note.
If you do get a protector and plan on using the s-pen frequently I would also recommend the glass.t like the previous poster. The invisible shield has a tacky feeling when using the pen.

Seconded. The S-Pen drags on the Zagg and BodyGuardz skins more than I would like. The SGP Glas-t is excellent. I had to return my Note and ended up leaving the Glas-t on there. I ordered the SGP oleophobic for my replacement and while it works great (and was 1/2 the price) It scratches pretty easily. I'll end up ordering another Glas-t soon.
If you don't mind anti-glare screen protectors and all the stuff that comes along with it (slightly less saturation, a weird rainbow shimmer that happens on white backgrounds, etc), I recommend it. It feels like writing on paper when you use the S-Pen.
Only problem ive run across with my zagg screen protector is that it turned blue from my jeans...
Im about ready to take it off but cant convince myself to use my phone without a screen protector....
A buddy of mine got the note at the same time as me and already has about 3 scratches on his screen because he refused to use a screen protector because of the "gorilla glass"

Haha. I still have the zagg on the back of my phone as I am waiting for a case and it's blue now.

A pen is impossible to use with zagg screen protector.. What screen protector should be used with this phone that's helpful with using the s pen?
This a very opinion oriented question. SPG is usually pretty good. ZAGG is too soft for the Spen.

+1 here as well, and same goes for my wife's Note 2 and my brother's. We are all running the Verizon screen protectors and it's super smooth and slick, but it's comforting knowing that there is some form of protection on the screen.
So far hasn't interfered with S Pen operation at all.

I've gone through two SPG(spigen) protectors, the ultra crystal and ultra optics. Honestly I don't like either of them. The ultra optics is matte so it's very rough and skips when using the S-Pen, but leaves no scratches and very little blemishes or fingerprints in the screen protector. The ultra Crystal is actually very nice and smooth, and almost feels like glass, but it gets surface scratches from everything, ESPECIALLY the S-Pen! It works great, and isn't usually noticeable, but if the screen is dark you can see it's scratched to high hell...but at least it's the protector that's scratched and not the screen.
For $15, I definitely don't think they are worth it at all, and I plan to send both of them back. Might have to try the Verizon one if they are that good. Mainly just want a smooth surface that doesn't scratch the protector, and works smoothly with the S-Pen.

i am using a screen protector from bestskinsever.. its great. pretty smooth for a ghost armor/zagg style, doesnt drag on the spen, and looks great. i was afraid the pen would leave marks, but has held up great so far. plus it was super cheap compared to the other brands of scratch proof protectors.
Surprisingly, the Verizon protector isn't so bad as far as pen feel and pretty well priced with my discount. But, i got cat hair under the first one when applying it, the second went back with the phone I had to return but already had some light scratches after 3 days. The third in the pack is on the replacement phone now and I'm waiting for a "just like glass" to arrive shortly. I ordered one for my wife's new gs3 too. They are super expensive but reportedly worth it.

I have the SGP Steinheil Crystal Clear on my GN2 and they are perfect, no loss of S-Pen functionality. I can say that I would not have every considered the 3M material based screen protectors based on the material type and that any use of the S-Pen would show up and wreck the material quickly. The SGP ones are $15.99 for a 2 pack or try the ones Verizon sells in a 3 pack for $13 but they are better when it comes to pen use.
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.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-n9005
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.

I got marks of S-pen. Guys what so you think about the Ishieldz screen protector
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda app-developers app
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.

The Z2 use3s Dragontail glass which is very strong, but slightly less scratch resistent than Gorilla glass,
However I think it's personal preference as to whether you use a screen protector or not..
I personally always use a screen protector just in case & have never had any problems doing so...
It came with one so I put it on there and its actually pretty ok.
Never had one on any of my phones before but this one has a nice matte finish to it. As the whole front it glass is worth it imo
Does the z2 have a shatter proof film? If so they scratch very easily and would need a protector but as pointed out since implementing spf's sony has been giving protectors in the box's of most handsets.

The glass of Z1 is scratch proof. But there will be some scratches after long time using.
So if you can't bear any tiny scratches , you'd better use a screen protector.
I feel a protector is always nice

How does it compare against the iphone 5s? I never needed a screen protector for mine.
Mine only came with a screen protector for the front in the box which I applied straight away, but I had to wait 3 days for a protector for the back to arrive, in that time its got several ugly scratches on the back glass.
I'm rather disappointed to be honest as it's not been abused, its been in the same pocket I kept my z1 in for 6 months without a mark to the screen protector. I was hoping Sony had put one of the easily scratched shatter proof films on the back, but sadly it seems there isn't a pre applied film and the glass scratches very easily.
Now I have a 3 day old Z2 which looks older than my 6 month old Z1

Because mine sits in a case, I applied the free front one and cut the corner of the factory applied back cover until the rear protector arrives off amazon.

I probably overpaid for my Nillkin 9H explosion proof tempered glass screen protector it feels every bit as good as the glass screen underneath. Plus it doesn't matt the screen colours down like the protector that comes with the phone.

I am thinking the regular screen protectors are difficult to stick and may not be waterproof, which kind defeats the purpose of having a waterproof phone!
Thoughts or experiences on this TG? I am using caseology case which covers TINY portion of the FRONT part of the phone which may lift the temp. Glass...
I am wondering if your nillkin TG's are holding good with your case. Thanks a lot!

I use a few cases that cover portions of the screen so you shouldn't have any problems with the MIME protector. If you for some odd reason do have problems they will give you a refund.

I'd have to look them all up, I have quite a few cases. I looked at the Caseology cases and they will be fine with the Feather Glass.
I use the spiegen ultra Sim and the nilkin (the cheapest one) and it's perfect.
only downside is the bottom button which is now lower than the glass but it's OK.
camera gets a small protection too
I think you should be fine. The edges of the Nillkin glass are rounded to that should help also. If you feel the home button is harder to press with the glass on then get a Mime home button. It's a metal sticker that holds on pretty well. I believe they are $2.99 with free shipping in the USA.

I loved it on the M8 but for some reason on this note 3 it catches way too many smudges and fingerprints
