iSmooth Note 3 Screen Protector 2
iSmooth Note 3 Screen Protector 3
iSmooth Note 3 Screen Protector 4
Thanks for the review. I had these on my S4 and absolutely loved it. It was extremely simple to put on and not a bubble anywhere. It was perfect.
They give you three but really only need one.
I recently ordered a cheap $8 glass one from eBay and will try that out. If it doesn't work out I'm only out $8 and will be going back to the iSmooth.
Great pictures also!

So Amazon shipped me a Glas.t for the wrong version of the Galaxy Note. I was frustrated at first, but now I'm kinda glad. I can't believe I was going to pay $35 for a screen protector that will scratch as easily as the Gorilla glass. (I'm sure it's a great sp, but can get 4 other Spigen brand sp's for the same price.) I had a Ghost Armor sp on my last phone and it definitely saved my screen.
So I'm trying to decide between the other Spigen screen protectors for the Galaxy Note. Unfortunately, the descriptions I have found are as clear as mud (oleophobic and anti-fingerprint should mean the same thing, right?). Does anyone know the real differences between the oleophobic, crystal, and optics versions? I just want the one looks and feels the most like glass (no anti-glare or matte/textured surface).
The crystal one is the most clear version of those 3. The optics is matte/textured. I haven't seen the oleophic in person yet.
I had the Glas.T before and then got the Oleophobic. No complaints. The Oleophobic is really clear and feels as smooth as glass. It still picks up finger prints, but not quite as much as the screen protectors you'd get from ebay.
I have tried the Oleo and Ultra Crystal. Much happier with UC and I have it on all my devices
I use both. Ultra Cryatal in my Galaxy Note and Oleophobic on Droid Bionic.
I prefer Ultra Crystal.
UC:
Pros: Crystal clear, thicker and more scatch resistant than Oleo
Cons: Lots of finger prints and glare.
Oleo:
Pros: Finger print resistant and less glare than UC
Cons: Film is little thinner, not as clear as UC and scratches much easier than UC.

I currently have an oleophobic one applied on my Note. There's like 2 small bubbles to the side of the screen, but it's barely noticeable.
Screen quality still looks great, and swiping on it feels fine too.
I had the UC and now have the Oleo and really I couldn't tell the difference between them. Both are very clear and, at least to me, had the same level of oil resistance.
I too had a hard time deciphering the descriptions on the Spigen website about their screen protectors. I decided to go with the oleophobic and it should be here in a few days. I will chirp back when I have an opinion about it.
My one concern though, is that they call it the i717 screen protector, but they show a picture of the international note on the website. I hope they send the right one. Was this your problem with the incorrect Glas.t they sent you for your note?
The problem I had was that Amazon did the fulfillment for Spigen. So Amazon actually screwed up and sent me the wrong one. Then they actually told me to order what I wanted from someone else because they couldn't guarantee that they even had the one I wanted.
So I ended up getting the Ultra Oleophobic. I got the best installation I've ever had on a screen protector...it's perfect. I cleaned the note first with eyeglass cleaner spray and wiped it clean. Then I covered the entire screen with scotch tape. Next, I steamed the bathroom with a hot shower and waited a few minutes for the steam to settle. I waited to pull off the scotch tape until I was absolutely ready with the sp, and I never held the sp upside down (or sticky side up). The rest of the application was easy and I did not have a single speck of dust or bubbles.
As for the screen protector itself, I have mixed feelings. The fit and finish are great. It's very clear and it does not distort or pixelate the display. However, it doesn't seem to be any more oleophobic that the screen underneath.
If anyone is interested in swapping your 2nd Ultra Crystal for my 2nd Ultra Oleophobic, send me a PM. I'm very happy with this SP, but I would like to try the other next time.

do your light and proximity sensors work even if they are voered by the screen protector?
Any particular tempered glass screen protector on ebay better than another? Thanks
I had skinomi tempered glass, it was awesome, very good against fingerprints
Thanks. Was it easy to apply without bubbles?
Every glass screen protector is easy to apply without bubbles. I've tried 5 different ones.
Carefully place it down, align it with something, i used a small screwdriver, then just push it down in the middle with your finger.
The only tricky part is to clean your screen good before applying. Any so small dust particle will be seen if not removed.

Yes, no bubbles at all
I have the spigen 9H tempered glass protector and it's awesome, no finger-steps, no scratches, zero bubbles, ultra resistant and it's work great ( no lag ) with the note's pen! You have lots of review at youtube.
Only have a negative point, the price, but it's ok, it's only one time you buy them
I've used 2 tech armor glass protectors on different phones, both worked perfectly.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111225255839?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Been using one of these for about ten months. The anti finger print was still good. There were some tiny scratches, but only seen at the right angle and the right lightning (but only when the screen was turned off !)
But i work in a forging factory, so that was expected, because of the steel dust. And i use my phone 24/7.
I even dropped it two times face down from my hand while standing. There was just a dent on the plastic rim of the phone.
So in my experience a very very good protector for a small price. And you get all you need for the installation, even a nice home button sticker.
I bought two more, just for the sake of it.
Nillkin H tempered glass, or if you want 2.5D rounded edges glass like the note 4 then Nillkin H+
I'm using the normal H (not 2.5D) and it's amazing. It actually feels better than original glass, very soft touch + no scratches so far.
I'm recommending.
Over a year has passed since the Note PRO came out. Which is the best screen protector as of today? Has any of you used the Anoke Tempered Glass Screen Protectors 9h hardness, 2.5d Rounded Edges, 0.3mm Thickness? It seems to have received very good overall reviews.
I am still using a plastic-like screen protector from Samsung. I got it as a gift from an electronics store. The problem with it is that it is a finger print magnet. Also, as I use the device as a phone, it is easy to see lots of saliva droplets as I talk to the screen sometimes.

I wont recommend a tempered glass as the extra thickness will interfere with the S-pen

I used a tempered glass that i bought from aliexpress for 4.4 USD
It is good but finger prints are there too
I applied it for protection only
There are no problems with the spen as far as i know
I was going to post the link but the item is already removed
Still perfectly satisfied with my Mime tempered glass screen protector. I have no significant issue with pen use. The only issue is the gap around the bezel but I don't care one iota about that.

So I got two new cases for my S7. Level 5 Incipio performance series case that has a built in screen protector and a level 4 case which is very slightly less thicker but doesn't have a built in protector.
Anyways the level 5 built in protector fits very flush to the screen and responds well but it is VERY fuzzy and takes away from the clarity of the screen.
The Level 4 is very similar to the level 5 but no built in screen protector and is slightly less thick and slightly less lip but still rated for 12 ft fall.
Anyways would it be safe to use the level 4 without tempered glass or a screen protector? Will the screen scratch without a protector or shatter if I dropped it in the parking lot or tile?
Also I did order some tempered glass and a cheap stick on protector. I see what everyone means by halo. The glass protector was a total farce. I never seen a halo that bad on any phone I've had. Now I can see why most are not using tempered glass. I tried the stick on one and it scratches way too easily.
I say 4 with a film protector. Just got the Zagg Curved and will try it later today. I don't have high hopes for it though.

I tried the film protector too. Stuck a bit better but still a pain around the edges and scratched very easily by touching it and I'm not spending big $$$ on one especially with the curved glass.
The S6, Note 4, Note 5 didn't have these problems with screen protectors. The Note4 had a tiny Halo but nothing major. Nothing like the S7 does.

Which film protector did you try?
I have the Spigen Curved crystal and an Armorsuit case friendly sitting here that I have not tried yet. Later tonight I'll try the Zagg curved but have feeling it's going to be a major disappointment. I had the Note 4 & 5 and both had screen protector problems (halos).

My Note 5 had tempered glass and the Halo was very minimal. Nothing like the S7. Yea I saw the curved glass and it doesn't look impressive or that it will work well. Looks like a waste of money. Besides I don't think that would even work with my case because my case is so snug.
I probably will end up going back to the Defender again. It seems every phone I get I end up going back to the Defender after awhile.
Hi people,
I've Just bought a Redmi note 4 32Gb Version.
I've been searching a lot for a perfect Tempered Glass Protector for Redmi Note 4 but I am confused with all the reviews where users have mentioned the small size glass due to 2.5arc display.
Can anyone here recommend A glass protector that properly fits on note 4 Screen like edge-to-edge , covering all the screen area.?
Regards
Honestly speaking, I never found a good tempered glass. After I tried a few, I came to the conclusion that they are all too thick, have edges where I cut my finger or feel uncomfortable to hold the phone.
That's why I decided that I only use thin plastic film for my phone's and I never had to regret.
From my point of view, the idea of tempered glass on a phone is wrong and does not provide any benefits.
Hi, I initially received 2 different brand standard tempered glass type that hardly came to the edges.
So I ended up buying this full face one from AliExpress.
Redmi Note 4 3D Curved soft Edge Carbon Fiber Full Coverage Sceen Tempered Glass Screen Protector PE Film For xiaomi Redmi Note4
I can't post a link in Q&A so I'll PM you the link.
I tried taking some photos for you but because it covers the whole screen including the 2.5d edge it's not even visible. I'm pretty happy with this one.
Thanx Wilderone
Will post feedback when I get the product
