I plan on buying a screen protector in the near future and I want to know if anyone has recommendations or tips for things to be wary of.
Anyone with a screen protector notice have any complaints?

I got a free one from the case I ordered from amazon (SPIGEN SGP AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE Hard Case Ultra Thin [Infinity White] (FREE Best Steinheil Screen Protector Cover Film Included)). 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.
I have invisible shield on the front and back and I absolutely love it

Although I hope, sgp warranty is good, my screen protector has a very tiny hole on it in the middle and after pressing a lot of times, it bubbles... I emailed them yesterday, still no reply

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.

Which is the one at&t was carrying, ivisor or something. Pretty ugly and thick but thats what I'm using for now for protection. I hate screen protectors in general.

I use xtreme guards from ebay. there like $2 for the note. only problem is they are for the international. they still work on att though. you just have the hole. I ordered 1 to try and got 8 more for the future. I prefer the wet apply guards also.

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!
I was sitting next to two colleagues on a flight this afternoon and they saw my GNote and asked is that a phone? I showed it to them and one of them said...that phone makes my iphone looks like ****...lol!

Not a lot of zagg fans with the Note. It's usually lumpy and doesn't work well with the S-pen.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I was once a fan of Zagg but when I tried other skins (used it with my HP touchpad), I never looked back. I'm just talking about the chinese cheap skins.
Zagg for me feels rough.
Skinomi skins + chinese ripoffs are smooth.

Yeah I agree. Zagg is the worst of all the screen protectors. I wish the OP came to us before getting ripped off by Zagg.
There are much better screen protectors than Zagg. Try Bodyguardz, phantomskinz, gadgetsheildz or Skinomi. Zagg just spends the most on advertising and is the biggest name but once you try them all you will never go back to Zagg.
I knew this would happen lol...oh well its good for now

Hey man, I'm sorry if I rained on your parade. Zagg is not terrible, I just believe there are better products. Keep in mind, you do have a 30 day return policy with Zagg if you want to try something else. But if you are happy with Zagg then disregard my comments.
Currently I'm using bodyguardz. Its a little thinner than Zagg and they give you 2 sets of screen protectors (instead of one Zagg gives you).
I'm not 100% in love with the bodyguardz clear screen protector so I ordered a set of their anti-glare protectors. The problem is the tackiness. I want a skin protector that is smooth. If the anti-glare from bodyguardz does not work out for me I'm gonna try out the Skinomi.
I also have the zagg front shield.I have never had a problem using them on any of my devices and I like the replacement warranty.But I do want to try the glass shield by spigen

Galaxy Note
i've used zagg shields on several phones, but decided to go with ghost-armor for the Gnote, happy i did, install was easier and like it better overall
I have zag and it comes with lifetime warranty. Got it two months who and already went in for two new Shields. Pretty cool IMO. They are best with not showing fingerprints though compare to others.
I don't use the s pen much so no comment about it.

I bought the $8 dollar ones, and they do come with jelly buttons however the buttons were hideous. Don't bother using them or order aluminum ones from spigen or mime
I have used both the Bodyguardz $35 and the EBay $8 tempered glass screen protector and there isn't much of a difference between them.
Don't waste your money. You will be happy with the $8 one.

i'm sure a little searching won't do any harm, just search for tempered glass and you get a long list.
I got a few from china for less than USD 3.
I'm surprised to see that the cheap tempered glass screen protectors found on eBay are OK.
And I'm happy, too. I'll probably just order something like this:

i'm sure even if they are bad quality, they are at least stronger and provide better protection than the plastic one's.

I don't have the note 3 ATM, so I cannot comment on this, but I have a note 2 version, been on my phone for about 8-9 months now, hasn't affected any features on the phone yet, including the S pen.

I was wondering if that detail could be the difference between the "good" and the cheap ones. But maybe not.

apparently these protectors were selling at double or tripled the price about 4-5 months ago, and they were hard to find, even in china, suddenly they started to flood the china market, my last visit to china last month i've seen over 40-50 brands, it seems like they are package rebadged, so even if they have a different package the protectors are the same, but i'm not saying that there is only one variation of the protectors all rebadged.
I was told there are fake ones available, but they are still glass.
I have one called the m glass and gold tempered glass, bother very thin and original.
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.

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.

Tempered glass can protect your screen from shocks and scratches. But it is thicker than other normal films. And it is weak in anti fingermark.
So if you worry the screen broken due to impact, you'd better use a tempered glass.
If you decide to use a case, then you can choice a anti-glare screen film or a clear screen protector which is thin and cheap.They also can keep scratches away from the screen.
You can get Sony Xperia Z2 accessories from witrigs which offers SONY accessories and SONY repair guide.
I have to say that xtreme cover rocks. If you get dust under it just rince with finger tip water and soap.
