Okay so I've narrowed my options down to the SGP glas.tr slim, the Glas.t nano, BodyGuardz and Tech Amor Ballistic tempered glass. Which one would you guys suggest?
Also what is a good way to apply them? With these type of screen protectors being a one shot type of thing, I'm nervous to put it on. On my iPhone 5, I tried the steamy bathroom method but I ended up getting steam under the glass screen protector when I installed it. Any great methods you guys used for a dust/bubble free application? Thanks

IDK about them but I use MIME Ghost glass on my S$ and its AMAZING. It has the hardness rating of (9H) compared to others I looked at (7-8H) and it is also only .32mm thick. Others i looked at were like .40mm thick. The reason i mention thickness is that with a case on the phone the surface still sits lower then the rubber edges of the case so you aren't putting the phone face down and have it sitting on the glass screen protector. MIME also has a lifetime warranty that if it breaks or whatever it's 50% off to replace it.
1 more thing, not all of them have a curved edge to the glass. Some have a straight edge and can chip or crack much easier so make sure then ones you are looking at have a curved edge finish.
As far as install... just make sure its clean of dust. You can pick them up and reapply the glass protectors pretty easily. Point of reference, i used the home button and the edge of the top of the screen protector and the ear speaker at the top to make sure it was straight and centered
Just my 2 cents on what i got and why i decided on that one.
I used glas.t cuz I always use a case. Love it. And its super thin. .023? I think. Applied it with the shower on in the bathroom. came out mint.

got a glass.tr knockoff form ebay. Cheap ~$8 and fits with a neo hybrid case. Works perfectly, wouldn't pay a dollar more for a "name" brand one. They are the same exact thing, i applied it very carefully and managed to get no dust. just lay it flat and push the bubbles out from the middle.

look on ebay, can get both. mine was from us. They aren't knockoffs, they all are the same, you think spigen is manufacturing screen protectors in the us? No company can actually do anything different then another with a half millimeter piece of glass.

Was just curious to know, is anyone out there rocking their Note 2 in its birthday suit? If so, any scratches yet? I myself have had a screen protector on since day 1 of owning mine whereas my friends that also have it are all naked. Just curious to know if anyone has any serious scratches of their own.

Naked.
I keep mine from things that have a high mohs rating and I stay scratch free.
Naked white with no problems. I think it's the best way to experience the phone.

I agree 100%
Another area of concern was the use of the S Pen on the screen. If that would over the course of its life span leave any surface scratches as well.

I have had a screen protector from day one but I went weeks without a case. Just put the Samsung protective cover on and it is surprisingly thin and light.

I had mine naked for a few months and did see a few tiny scratches appear so covered up. First with a Copter screen protector which sucked!! It made the screen look like ****e. Small text was impossible to read and the S-Pen marked it. I later opted for a very cheap harder plastic no-name protector which is excellent. I have plans to buy a 10 pack and change every other month or so.
The way I see it you preserve the second-hand value if the screen is scratch free. If in two years time you want to sell it for a good price you just need to invest in a new flip-cover remove the screen protector and it's almost like new.
100% all natural.No screen protector. No case. I like the feel and look without bulky protection. I allow the Gorilla Glass 2 to do its thing.
Afterall, its a phone; its going to get used, scratched and dinged. I want to enjoy the complete phone experience in the meanwhile.
Have you seen those cars that had the bra on the front? People removed them only to find out that their paint was now two-toned, and dirt and debris had etched the paint along the edge of the bra, not to mention having a red sports car with a black mask on.
I was naked on every smart phone I've had up until the Note 2. I've always gotten scratches on every other phone no matter how careful I was.
I also have a small hard case on it. I would love to run naked on that too but the smooth back is just begging to slip out of my hand. Plus the case makes it feel more solid and reduces the creeks and growns coming from the crappy plastic Samsung insists on using.

I would be concerned if a plastic pen scratched glass.
In other words, it won't.
The glass with the oleophobic coating is at least 9 mohs.
Without the coating, its still 6.5-ish.
Plastic is around 3 or 4.
No screen protector here, I adsolutely hate screen protectors. I think they ruin the clarity of the screen. But I do have one of those folio style cases so the screen still gets covered when its not in use.

I've been using the Seidio active case and like it, no screen protector. Just ordered a flygrip and will probably rock it naked with that.
Like others have said I won't use a screen protector as I trust the screen plus hate the feel and affect on clarity.
I'm using a cheap tpu case partly for peace of mind of a little protection and partly because it has a built in kickstand that isn't very intrusive and has been pretty handy to have.
I have mine naked, but the first few days of owning it the phone fell upside down on the wooden floor so now I have 2-3 large scratches on the screen from grains of sand
Same set up I run on every phone I've owned:
Verizon slim hard kickstand case, no belt clip
Cheap eBay matte screen protector
I keep my phone in my pocket so I need a slim case. Every since the T-Bolt, a kickstand is a must for me. I absolutely hate clear screen protectors since it always feels like I'm dragging my finger across the screen rather than sliding it. I ended up buying the $12 pack at Big Red since my phone arrived before my China protectors. The cheap matte ones look great, don't smudge, and make the screen silky smooth.

Screen protector I got from Verizon and an all white Androidified case from Cruzerlite. My hands are a little dry so carrying the phone naked (the phone) is slippery in my hands. The case gives me a nice grip to hold on to the phone.

Oops, sorry for the sideways photo.
My typical progression is: get a new phone. Think "I need to protect this thing" and get a case. Rock case for a week or 2 and then hate the extra bulk. Take off case and love the natural feel of the phone.
I followed suit with this phone. Had the flip case ordered before the phone was out. Got the phone and immediately popped the case on. Rocked it for 2 weeks and took it off.
However, I have actually put the case back on because I found usefulness besides the protection. With the phone's size, the case flap provides more area to maneuver it. It also prevents accidental home button presses when the phone is in my pocket.

I originally had a cheap matte screen protector from eBay... after a few months it was pretty beat up and in need of replacing.
After searching all the different options.. I figured I would give the XtremeGuard Screen Protector a go.
I ordered off eBay XtremeGuard, $2 w/ free shipping. It arrived two days later. It comes with the screen protector, cleaning cloth and squeegee card.
Last night I began the install. It is a "wet" install process. Very similar to installing window tint on a car.
First, I cleaned the phone really well with soap and water and the micro fiber cleaning cloth. Then I prepared the soap and water solution. Only a small amount of soap is needed. I got my fingers wet to prevent fingerprints and peeled the backing off the screen protector. I got the screen protector pretty wet with the solution and placed it on the phone from edge to edge, careful not to get any big bubbles. With it still wet, it's very easy to line it up perfectly.
Once I had it in position, I carefully squeegeed out the solution starting in the center, working outwards. I found getting the squeegee wet with the solution helps it glide across the screen protector. There was a tiny spec near a corner, so I lifted the edge back up, got the spec out and proceeded with the squeegee. After that was done, I wiped away all the excess water solution and let the phone sit for a couple hours.
At first it felt very sticky, but this morning, it seems to be a lot better. The manufacturer says it takes 24 hours to fully dry. But who can wait that long haha. I am being very careful with it until it completely dries.
Overall, it seems very good. The fit is great! I really like the wet install process, as it allows you to position it perfectly and it's very easy to get out any bubbles.
I will report back with an update as I continued to use and abuse my phone. I work in a metal forging plant so my phones experience extreme conditions; 2000°F +, drops, welding and cutting sparks, etc.
I will also post some pictures when I have a chance to use my wife's phone to capture the pic.
I highly recommend the XtremeGuard Screen Protector so far.

I think I am going to preorder one of the iLoome screenmate flex glass protectors. If anybody is using or has used an iLoome product I would like to hear you thoughts on the quality of it. I saw that these same protectors were being used on other phones. From what I read they are good protectors. I just haven''t hear much of this company in the past.
Bought mines for 16 bucks. Well worth the price. It was easy to install and it's smooth as glass. Couple things to note, The sensors and the front facing cameras are covered by the glass. But i haven't had any issues with it.

I have it and it is great. Smooth as glass and haven't noticed any problems so far.
It's odd that Amazon now says pre-order. I ordered it last week and received it a few days later. It's worth the money, easy to install, fits great. You wouldn't know it was there if you didn't put it on yourself.
Very good product. I was hesitant with it being so bendy and thin. . But once it's on. . It s glass and thin.

I got the flex, and I almost wish I had gotten the one with hardness rating 9H. I mean the flex is smooth and the S-pen slides on it good, but you can tell that it isn't quite as hard as glass when you push down on the S-pen. Overall I am happy with it, and I am not planning on ordering a new one or anything.

Are you sure you're not confusing the give on the S-pen when pressed with give on the protector? The nib on the S-Pen moves when pressed. You can see this by just pressing it with your finger.
I'm curious since I'm looking at getting the flex as well.
I'm sure. I used the Note 3 for about a week without it before it came. I mean its not like I regret buying it, because it is the smoothest protector I have ever had. I am just saying that if you try to notice the difference you will notice it, but it is such a slight difference that it doesn't affect much. I would love to see if the Iloome protector with a 9H rating feels like. Bottom line, it is worth the money, but you can tell it isn't as hard as glass.

Umm, it is glass.. I just tried sliding my S Pen over my Note 3 (with Screenmate Flex) and over my S3 (bare glass) and couldn't notice any discernible difference. If it does have an effect, it is extremely minor and you would really have to be looking for it to ever notice. The main difference between this and the thicker tempered glass version is just the hardness rating. This one is an 8H and that one is 9H, so it slightly more prone to scratches than the other version (but still much better than any plastic protector). The advantage is how thin it is.
Thanks for the input. I ordered one and got it installed today. I am glad that my seidio surface case still fits. It didn't fit with the bodyguardz pure installed.
Go ahead and add a Spigen Slim Case Metal Slate and your phone will feel super premium. I ordered the 9th one still en route

How long have you had the screen protector? Iloome clearly states that the flex version comes with a coating that may be sticky or rough at first but should go away after a few days.

I just received my iloome flex and installed on the phone with spigen hybrid neo case..The flex has some coating so it's not smooth yet. Hopefully it should become better with use. In my opinion it's a lot better than plastic protectors. Installation has to be done slowly and precisely.. mine went perfect. I tested the proximity sensor...no issues at all..heck I even put a cheap plastic screen protector on top of the iloome flex glass to test and the proximity is working just fine..also tried a normal calling test and "Test your android"app to confirm. Well so far I am totally satisfied...must wait and see about the roughness. Pics attached..?

i'm really thinking of getting this after reading the reviews and posts on this forum
The iloome flex definitely gets smoother over time. Not as smooth as the tempered glass variants, but still pretty darn smooth. However, the flex is a finger print magnet. It's also harder to clean than the native screen or other tempered glass screen protectors I've tried.
Got the Iloome also, best protector I ever had.
Easy to install, and fits perfectly.
As mentioned, the first few days it's a bit sticky, but after a few days it's perfect.
I can't say it's a fingerprint magnet, it takes less prints then without.
Got my note 3 a few days ago and I'm loving it. I love the feel, the leather back, the slimness. It's great. But I feel I should be protecting it somehow.
I went for an official S View case but it turns out it's not official and i'm not sure I want to spend £50 on a case that doesn't offer full protection.
I've had a browse but can't seem to find one that would not effect the profile of the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions
Thanks.

The problem I've found with screen protectors is that I can't apply them for them life of me. They always bubble or get fluff stuck under them.

Try the tempered glass protectors. I used the MIME Ghost Glass for my S4 and i just got one for my Note 3. It just got here like 30 min ago. IF you get one, you don't have to worry about bubbles, they come out on their own in like an hour or 2. Just apply it in a bathroom after running the shower with hot water to get a touch (NOT a lot) of steam in the air. That pulls all the dust particles out of the air as you apply it.
As for the cases, I agree. I like the feel of the Note 3 naked. I also got a case that makes it actually feel more slippery. I love the case as i had the same for my S4 but it is more slippery. I picked up the Spigen Slim Armor case in the metal color.
I have a bumper case, just the frame around the phone. My phone already fell out from the pocket of my pants, when I was changing (frankly I thought I had the phone in my jacket, otherwise would be more careful) onto the wooden floor from about 4 feet and I think I would have already some type of damage, if it wasn't for the bumper case. I like my phone very much, therefore having it in pristine condition is more important than anything else.

This is going to sound odd, but in order to get a flawless application of your screen protector . . . do it in the bathroom. I always run the shower as hot as it gets for a few minutes prior to trying to apply the screen protector to let the steam pull most of the dust particles out of the air. I also line up the screen protector prior to removing the backing and tape one side so that it functions like a hinge. This way once the backing is removed you do not have to worry about lining up the protector and it basically applies itself from the taped side.

Question might be lame but just to make sure - Can tempered glass be removed if needed or once is applied/glued thats it ?
It will just lift up. No residue left really. Think of it as more sticky and does not bond like a glue. Until you crank one and have to remove it... It's kinda hard to describe. But it comes up as easy as it is to put down
Ordered it. Should be here soon. Do I still need a screen protector with it do you think?

just want to ask something about tempered screen protector. i just bought the spigen glass tr screen protector and had applied it successfully on my note 3 just having one little lint underneath but i dont care too much about it as it cant be seen when the screen is on. but i want to ask is tempered glass has any side effect to my screen ? such as reduce the screen sensitivity as i heard from someone that using tempered glass has negative effect. is it true ?
I haven't noticed any sensitivity issues. To be fair, I put the protector on only a few days after I purchased the phone, but I honestly never noticed any ill effects after installation.
On my S4 or this phone I've never had sensitivity issue with either phone. The Spen works flawlessly with THE MIME Ghost Glass (is only 32mm thick as to Spigens tr glass which is .40mm thick)
Well my case turned up and I love it. Such a well made product.

The only thing that i hate with this case is ut comes with screen protector which is built in and when u place your phone in...it shows rainbowing distortions...it's more noticeable when the screen is off and intense direct light to the screen. Any how when...you turn on the screen everything looks fine and the touch responsiveness too aren't minimize.
Im planning to rip the builtin screen protector and get a hd film or glass i hope it will still fit when installed back in the case.

what glass screen protector did you used? I was concerned with the thickness
@hatyrei - on the back of your phone, there is a sticker (in the second picture) attached on your power and volume keys, not to be rude but that is supposed to be removed, unless you want it, those are just intended to be temporary indicators.
@Ronde90 - What glass screen protector are you using? I popped out the one there and bought a thin one (that sadly is a fingerprint magnet) for now but wanted to see if a glass one fit. How are the smudges? What brand/model/price?

Hi guys. I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KLDJAO8?pc_redir=1404818582&robot_redir=1
It was pretty inexpensive and I didn't want to spend 40usd on one so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. It looked nice and was one of the only glass screen protectors that covered the entire screen, meaning that there were no jagged cut outs for camera or anything. Plus it is only 2mm thin and has rounded and bezeled edges. After using for a day or so I have to say it is fantastic. If feels great and you barely know its there since it is so thin and clear. It really is smudge resistant unlike many other glass screen protectors. It is also very easy to apply. It uses some kind of silicone based adhesive so it adheres better to the screen and is less prone to having bubbles be caught under it when applying it. The screen protector is also very easy to remove and reapply. I actually used it for a day, then took it off when I got the unicorn Beetle pro case. After two days of the scrappy Beetle screen protector, I ripped it off and reapplied the glass screen protector with no issues at all; I wrapped up the glass screen protector in wax paper for the mean time.
If you're on the fence, pull the trigger and I promise that you won't be disappointed, especially at the price on amazon now.

Man, the one of the parts of this glass protector is that it works with this case!!! I'm ordering now! I hated the one on there and the plastic ones have been so jagged and smudgy, I've tried a few. Thanks

I ordered the same case, ripped out the built in screen protector and am using it with a glass screen protector. It works very well and fits perfectly.

Exactly what I did and am absolutely loving it. This case works wonders (assuming you rip out the ****ty built-in protector and replace it with glass) and isn't too bulky.
man you guys are tempting me really badly. i love the look of this case!
im liking it a lot, it reminds me of the urban armor cases. im going to order one
Tada..... , after ripping out the builtin plastic screen protector... I installed the new glass screen protector by iCarez. And I'm happy to tell u guys it fits very well. Just becareful when you put the screen protector be sured the front cam isn't hindered or covered.

I'm gonna order the blue one in a week or so.
I have the Spigen slim armor and like it a lot, but a man needs variety.

Cool, I only wish they have a cheap LG Quick View Case...that looks like the Original case from LG. The one in Amazon doesn't looks futuristic lol . Must be the silver circle inlet that gives it the edge.
