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.

I just purchased a 9H on eBay from iLoome and should have by Friday. I will report back.
Note: iLoome is the seller on ebay and the 9H is in stock while the Flex is b/o until the 25th.

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.
Just got it, I'll give it a couple days but right now is unusable

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.

I decided to get one after seeing my wife's DNA screen get scratched by her keys in her purse. What's up with that, gorilla glass 2? I bought a 3-pack of Lumii Ark protectors for $.99 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BL5N0X2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Just arrived yesterday, haven't applied one yet.
Also thinking about getting a Poetic or Nillkin case to shield that beautiful aluminum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171713)
For what it's worth, the aluminum looks plenty capable of buffing out some reasonable scratches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0kel2d3xGQ&feature=youtu.be
Personally, I'm not using a screen protector but I keep my phone in a sleeve type case from Krusell when it's not in use so that does the trick.
I use cases and screen protectors on all of my devices. My HTC One never saw the light of day before the screen protector went on it. I'm a little OCD like that though.

This may only be my experience but I found that the capacitive buttons weren't nearly sensitive and had trouble hitting home+back with an invisible shield (which covers the capacitive buttons). I ended up cutting away the excess which covered the buttons and have seen a huge improvement.
I bought the skinomi full body, but only used it for the back because I didn't like the feel on the front with it, and its not so clear.. but now I have the skinomi on the back, sides, and speaker grill, and a fosmon ultra clear on the front.. the fosmon is a lot better than the skinomi and is very very clear.. I cant even tell that there is a screen protector there..
Ps if you decide to get the skinomi, I used the coupon code 'earthday2013' , and got 60% off of the full body, so it was only $8.. if that coupon doesn't work anymore, there is one for 25% off which is 'get25'

I went to three at&t stores yesterday and they all told me they only carry the invisible shield dry for $30!!! I was a little skeptical, but with my luck my One would never stay in it's prestine condition without some kind of protector, so I got it. I have to say it is much better than others give it credit for; it's far greater than all of the "cheapy" screen protectors when it comes to look and feel, lifetime warranty when you register it, and I feel much better knowing that my device won't look like my buddy's horrific note II whose been naked since he purchased it because he bought into all the hype that the gorilla glass II is so incredibly scratch resistant!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Decided to go with the sgp ultra clear screen protector. I have used there protectors before and they are really nice and high quality. Also $14 for 2!? Not bad if you ask me.
So I'm interested if anyone has gotten a Zagg screen protector and how it interacts and feels with the S pen. Is there too much resistance or does the rubber tip kind of feel sticky on it. If you don't have a Zagg how does your screen protector feel with the S Pen.
It's crap. While the Zagg adds a relatively thick layer that can act as shock absorber if you manage to drop the phone face down, I absolutely hate it when I draw on Sketchbook. It's sort of deformable, and the S-pen leaves small ridges in the protector as I draw, and the more I draw, the more uneven the surface gets. It was frustrating when I had it on my Note 2. Clarity-wise, it's quite good for normal viewing, but even a microscopic amount of oil smudged across can ruin the experience. The glass on the phone itself seems more oleophobic than Zagg's protector.
I'm running without a protector on my Note 3 at the moment, so I'm trusting the screen to Gorilla Glass 3. Since I have a wallet case, it won't have any hard objects gliding over it when I'm not using it. Few weeks in and I'm satisfied so far.
Thanks for the input bro. Duly noted that's what I figured would happen. I guess I'll opt for a privacy screen protector then. It's cheap, useful and effective.

Only the polyurethane based protectors have that issue (Zagg/BestSkinsEver/GhostArmor/Skinomi/etc...) because they are softer. The iSmooth/Spigen type protectors don't have this issue at all.

I have the Spigen tempered glass screen protector on mine. Working with the S Pen feels just like writing on the phones screen. Id recommend not going with Zagg if you intend to use the S Pen.

I've had nothing but good experience with Zagg. I have the Zagg High Definition on my Note 3 and haven't had any problems at all. S pen works great, doesn't leave ridges as someone mentioned above. Of course I didn't use the S pen in the first 48 hours to give the screen time to fully set in.
I am liking the zagg protector.. only issue I am having is that I dropped the phone off the end table 8 hrs after getting the phone and there is a dent in the protector.. didnt self heal.. i filled out for the lifetime warranty and giving it until this saturday to request a replacement....
Zagg makes a tempered glass for the iPhone, I'm hoping they release it for the note 3 but they probably won't since there's much less demand.

Since I've seen $8 and $12 tempered glass screen detectors mentioned in the last couple of days I don't see any reason why you'd get a plastic film screen protector.
The $8 one ships from the US as well so it should be quick. I wish I'd seen these before I spent $28 for mine.

Zagg HD screen protectors are absolute garage, they have been back since their original Zagg screen protectors before they added "HD" on to the name. Actually, that was the only improvement that Zagg has made to their screen protectors in years, just the name. I don't like glass screen protectors due to how painfully obvious it is that there's a screen protector installed, mainly due to the gaps around every edge, speaker, camera, sensors, Home button, etc. Not to mention that your Home button is now recessed. You'll notice most people wanting Home button stickers have a glass screen protector, just to bring their Home button back to being flush with the rest of the screen. If you want a screen protector that looks invisible, ZERO gaps around the edges, and feels just like your bare screen does now, then search "TechMatte" on Amazon. They are currently on sale for only $4.95 for a 3 pack! Much MUCH cheaper than all of the other screen protectors which claim to be "premium", when they'll actually either just be an eyesore, feel horrible to the touch, make your S-Pen unusable, or drastically deteriorate the now gorgeous looking display! Plus, TechMatte also provides you a lifetime warranty! I guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied, this will become your absolute favorite screen protector you've ever used or seen anywhere, and will LOVE it! Once installed, I bet your friends won't even know that you have a screen protector installed, and probably won't even be able to find it after you do tell them there's a screen protector on your phone! I posted a review of it with pics (I tried to photograph it anyway) here in this subforum. Here's a link to them on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CK...r=1-10&m=AG8AYSVS7E5IO&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
The stock photo in Amazon shows the screen protector having a U shaped cutout at the bottom for the Home button, but it actually has a precise cutout for the Home button which provides coverage all around the Home button

I was recently shopping around for screen protectors for my new Note 3 and after reading some of the reviews on Amazon about the Spigen ones I am a but reluctant to commit to using them because of the negative SPEN response comments.. Anyone using the Oleophobic, Crystal, Anti-Fingerprint that can confirm or deny S-Pen problems with resistance and skipping?
I used them on my Nexus 4 and SGS2 previously and they were great, just don't know if I should commit to them with this unit if there are s-pen issues.. I got the Neo Hybrid case which works great..
Nevermind, just ordered the glass one.

Are the sticky sides of these washable to remove the lint already stuck to them?
I had mine hovering over the screen as I peeled off the backing only to watch darn near every cat hair and piece of lint in the house float in my direction.
I have since read about using tape in a steaming bathroom to prevent/remove some of the dust particles trapped in the glue but I may have to wash it then do this if there's any glue left on it.

I used to be a big fan of spigen screen protectors, to a certain extent I still am.... but.... I saw danny's winget's videos and got introduced to iloome.
bought one for my s4 but ended up selling that phone before I applied it. sold it to my friend and applied it on his, damn I am so sold on iloome flex! for 17 bucks, I bought 2 for my white and black note 3's
For the price skip the spigen ultra crystal and get the iloome flex! I still like spigen products, but just feel like I am getting less value for my money these days than the competition.
Well I used an Amzer Shatterproof Screen protector for my iPhone 5 and it was very impressive and I liked it...there was no worries of any scratch and marks...I still remember when I just dropped my coffee at my phone at starbucks and I was scared of the screen of phone but it was surprising one to me that there was no impact on the phone screen and the touch was also working smooth....that was a big relief to me....I got it from Fommy a Re-seller site.....So I am just expecting the same Amzer shatterproof for my N3 too.... whenever I will get that will surely update with the reviews....
Just a heads up that the Seidio OBEX cases will supposedly be available before the end of March.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSWSSGT3-BR
For 80 bucks I'm expecting a lot.
A WHOLE LOT.
On my list!!
The Note 3 does everything I could ask for, but Sammi dropped the ball by not making it at the least, water resistant. The S4 Active showed that they could have, and the new S5 is rumored to come standard with IP67 (3' for 30 minutes)
I won't likely upgrade to the Note 4 - I can't see it having anything that spectacular over the 3, so a good protective case that adds true water/dust protection would be perfect.
My only concern with the OBEX is the clear screen protection material they choose to use - most plastic screen protectors are poor at best, and get progressively worse over a very short period of time . . .

Never used an Obex case but a big fan of Seido. How does the obex cases compare to the Otter box defender as far as bulk? I know the obex is an all weather case.

I had both for my S3. I'd say they both add a considerable amount of bulk but it looks as if Seidio cut back a little for the Note's model based on the pictures, but of course I could be wrong. I think Seidio was a little more bulkier than the Otterbox, though. I feel its justified due to the simple fact that the Otterbox merely covers ports while Seidio has to ensure they're weather proof as well. In any case, I'm constantly refreshing the Seidio page daily waiting for the release. Must be getting close because they added 6 more pictures about 2 days ago.
I will say with the Seidio case I had more complaints about people being able to hear me clearly on the phone and it muffled the sound a bit on the ear piece, too so I resorted to bluetooth for calls. It seems that the longer my S3 was in the Seidio case, the farther away if got from the screen (mere milometers, I'm sure) but it did effect the responsiveness of the touchscreen. When you first put it in it was pretty responsive but still not as good as a stock screen. I'd love for them to release a model similar to the nude Lifeproof case for the S3... which I saw today they are now selling at Walmart.
one of the ugliest, if not the ugliest $80 case ive ever seen.
I actually really like the look of this case. A little pricey, but it has my interest.

I wouldn't say it's ugly, just horribly priced.
The OBEX for the iPhone 5 was terrible (audio and earpiece issues and the flimsy port covers was a total letdown). I'd stay away from the OBEX line and hope Otterbox creates one for the Note 3.

Definitely want one but the price is an absolute killer.
Is there any chance of the price going down? Maybe after it starts selling on Amazon? I would get it if it's in the $50~$60 range, but $80 is an overkill.

Because it would heavily interfere with the S-Pen. And those Chinese cases have tempered glass or just glass. Corning really only deals with the Big guys where they will make the most money.

The Chinese case had tempered glass by corning, and all touch and pen functions worked as they should, just needed to turn on high touch sensitivity.....
Even non corning tempered glass would be better than the soft plastic they are using here, 4H scratch resistant? Very poor, and for $80? No thanks!
High touch sensitivity drains battery faster. Shouldn't have to turn it on. Also, you are purchasing a waterproof case, not a crappy plastic screen protector. A whole case and holster clip if I am not mistaken.
If it lives up to its quality and name, 80 is well worth it.
Also, if you Crack a glass screen protector on a waterproof case... Guess what happens... It's no longer water proof.

Haven't noticed a significant drop in battery power with high sensitivity on, and decent glass protectors will have layers embedded within them, so it's not inconceivable that it would be able to hold its waterproofing if broken, plastic punctures easily too....
They could have used something better than 4H plastic is all I'm saying, especially at the price point they want. I wish lifeproof made a case for the note 3, I'm sure one of their designs left the screen bare but was still waterproof!
I'm sure the pros and cons were mentioned somewhere on this forum but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for as there are hundreds of pages of comments. I'm undecided between Spigen glas.tr slim & iLoome screenmate 9H for the note 3 and would like some input on which would be the best bet. They both seem equivalent as far as what they offer but would like to know from those who actually have used them. I've looked at Amazon reviews and still couldn't make my mind up. I plan on using one of these with the Otterbox Commuter.
My main concern is that it be truly bubble free so no bubbles form months down the line and no adhesion issues. From Amazon reviews I've seen people mention that after a few months bubbles had formed. If anyone has used these for a few months, do you have any bubbles and what are your thoughts?
I've got the iloome and there are no bubbles. I've never used the other one but can recommend this one. It wasn't too hard to install. You kind of have one shot at it. I found a video on YouTube where the guy places the glass on top first then puts blue tape on one side. So its like a door. Then he lifts the glass up, peels the plastic and drops it straight onto the screen. That's the method I used and it worked out perfectly. Once you do that just start pushing from the middle out to get rid of all the air.

I've had my SPIGEN for about 6 months now with zero issues. I never has bubbles and nor do I have any now. It can withstand some abuse too. I dropped my phone on a gravel driveway, straight on the glass. Didn't move a hair.
Btw, using it in combination with an Otterbox commuter.
spigen user here for me it's worth it
Been using iloome glass for 7 month now. No scratch, no crack, no bubbles. Still clear and vibrant as I first got it. Totally recommend their screen protectors.
Do they extend up to the edge of the screen? Because there are some cases that overlaps a TINY portion of the screen like caseology

This is my experience about the support spigen after only 4 months that I have appeared these, see photo, conclusions to you.
and to think that I paid $ 36.

Get the zerolemon tempered glass. Its about $9 and has the same cutout as spigen with the curved edges.

Maybe off topic, but their neo hybrid case is a complete crap. Outrageously expensive and poor to medium quality. Not necessarily a bad brand, just too expensive for the quality they offer. IMO spigen products are NOT worth the money.

I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and im happy with it. I only use it in the weekends because I need more protection when at work. I bought it for $20 from Amazon but I would not pay more than that for it.

My iloome didn't. Also, I don't know about Spigen, but my experience with iloome support has been amazing. Not sure how much I can say, but I am seriously impressed by how supportive they were when I contacted them numerous times.
