Hey Guys,
New ATT LTE Note owner here coming from an iPhone that i've used for 4+ years. Anyhow, does anyone have any good recommendations on screen protectors? I've been reading the other threads, but they just dont give me enough info. I ordered the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, wondering what it looks like and if anyone can post pics of theirs? That would be awesome. Also does anyone know where I can get a replacement back housing that is leathery like the Blackberry Bold 9000?
A screen protector is a screen protector. Doesn't matter about what device you put it on. So, just search for screen protector and you will get your answer. Another thread is not necessary. Also, the Note has Gorilla Glass and you really don't need a screen protector. I understand this is personal preference, though.

You do need it if you are going to be around sand which will easily scratch the screen if you get one speck on your finger.
It has happened before and will happen again.
To protect investment I highly advice to get a screen protector put on the screen. There's been few threads talking about their Note has been scratched. SGP is a good brand, one of the members here suggested it and I replaced my Zagg screen with it, it feels more natural than Zagg, although I still think Zagg is more durable.
As for leathery back cover, no idea. Seidio is coming out w/ their own set of protective case. Their product has never failed me. Great protection.
OK, I'm not one to often recommended $35 screen protectors, but this is the first time I've been able to bear any sp for more than a day. I did get 2 tiny specs under it that are noticeable with the screen off in bright light, but I can't even tell an sp is on when I'm using it.

Why this? Jeez
i got the zagg screen protector from best buy with my reward card for 6 bucks. It is the one with the wet install. Surprisingly the install was quite easy and painless. I was thoroughly impressed. It is not like a one shot deal when you install it. You can move the screen protector around until it is right. Just spray more water whenever it is needed. ( and no I dont work for Zagg..lol)
Zagg is the worst screen protector, ever, period.
It sucks even more with our S-Pen since Zagg has a "rubbery" feeling or texture on it. Since the whole point of the screen protector is to protect the screen from being scratched and mimic the feeling of the bare glass, your best bet is the regular thin plastic screen protectors. That is, unless, you are willing to get the glass screen protectors.
But then if you like it then that's all that matters.

Because here we go with yet another thread so everyone can chime in with their opinion about which is the best screen protector. And my opinion is that you don't need one with GG.

Gorilla Glass is Scratch Resistant, NOT Scratch Proof, Scratch Proof glass does NOT exist. Even if it GG was as tough as diamonds, the protectors provide some extra protection for your screen in the case of drops, bumps, etc. Me, I don't want to take any chances.

+1, but he is technically right that you don't NEED one. It seems like the odds are in favor of no scratches or minimal scratches. I live in Florida and there's a lot of sand. I'd rather take a knife to my GG than sand... I always use a screen protector.
SGP all the way get the ultra crystal.

i ordered a screen protector x 5 for just under 5 bucks from eBay. I replace every 6 months.
Sadly there is no sand where I live. (I am jealous of you who have sand!) And, I can understand that a sandy environment is a good reason to protect the device more.
The reason I chimed in was to protest yet another thread about "what screen protector is the best". Then I added my opinion.
I agree that SGP are very good.
SGP Glass
The SGP glass screen protector is the best I used two others and the s-pen left marks all over them the SGP Glass was a bit pricey but well worth it looks perfect clear as glass and hard so s-pen will not mark it up I will never go back to a film form now on i'll use an SGP glass protector on all my phones
Update: 5 months use and it cracks for little reason other than poor construction
See current post
UPDATE: Now available for limited preorder at MIME - Thank you MIME and everyone who helped make this a reality!
UPDATE: mime has a glass protector "in development" according to their website, and an OP reports mime should have it ready next week (week of April 1st). I'll update again once it is available. Yea!
After getting the real glass screen protector for my wife's ipad air and the gumdrop bounce skin for it, I don't know if I would want to use any tablet without them. The real glass makes for the most amazing interaction with the device and the bounce skin I find perfect for a tablet, I don't need the extra plastic frame, just a thick silicone skin with oversized corner protection.
Does anyone know if there is a coming glass screen cover?
I can't locate any. I'm going to send an email to MIME to see if they have it scheduled. I agree, once you go glass, you can never go back to plastic protectors.
I also have a glass protector for my note 2 . Glass is so much nicer, waiting for some to be announced as well. I did buy a plastic protector in the meantime don't want to risk scratching the screen while I wait for the good stuff

Thank you for doing this Mike! I replied, and I hope others keep it up and request the glass, even if they are only thinking about it. If you ever try using glass, you will see why absolutely no plastic is comparable. It must be glass or it sucks. I personally wipe mine down frequently, I just have to have that mirror surface. We can debate about if it is better to use TMS-Cl to coat it (think rain-X for a car window, which is likely what the "oleophobic coating" is) [gotta love marketing guys] or just plain glass, but it must be glass. Nothing else will do, it does not matter if you are kinesthetic dominant or not in your learning style, glass is just better.
Hopefully we can get someone to make the glass protector.
Sent my request. I had no idea these existed, but I had a single grain of sand scratch my screen on my A700 and have felt shame for allowing that to happen ever since. Spending twice as much on this device, I'm going to protect every little bit of it.
I have probably tried at least 10 different types of screen protectors and NOTHING is better than real glass. I''ll take my chances until a real glass protector is released.
Thanks for pestering MIME. Hopefully they will make these for us.

Do you have this? Since it is plastic I don't trust it, I think it will scratch even though it give a hardness value that is pretty high. Too expensive for a plastic film for me. My GUESS is that it will also not "feel right" to me, plastic always has a wave to it. You need plate glass to get that perfectly smooth surface. Sometimes I've gotten away with using plexiglass (fiberglass plastic) for a flat surface (most notably building a dead flat magic sculpt rectangle that would not warp in high heat when I baked the model I was making), but still its tricky, glass is much much better to me. Also by saying it will get scratched, my glasses get scratched and they are made from similar material and even have the scratch resistant coating on them. My ski goggles get scratched, and those micro fine scratches build up fast. This is why I constantly demand glass for my touch sensitive devices. Heck my 3 year old thinkpad convertible tablet screen (non-glass) has micro scratches and marks on it and I only infrequently use it as a tablet (b/c it is not intuitive like the current tablets).
If you have it and it works really well, please let me know, but I just have a feeling that it is overpriced and will scratch.
I have that companies nano.t glass for my S4 because at the time it was the only thin glass I could find that would fit under the otterbox defender case (all other glass products were too thick). It is a nice product, but I got the TechPro glass for my wife's ipad at <1/3 their price and it is magic for the ipad air. I like that companies products, but I think they are priced a bit too high. They have great marketing, so good for them, but I'll go to someone cheaper if I can, its all glass underneath and I can apply my own TMS-Cl if I need to.
I told MIME in my request that I would buy all my future glass from them if they made this, and I will. Supporting companies that make good products is the only way to encourage them to keep going with making new good products.
For a tablet I feel like I would want the thicker glass, but I don't care, I just want a real glass protector for this tablet when I get the LTE version as soon as it comes out. I want a tablet I can read a scientific paper on at full size (or just about). Just like the comic book guys want to read comics at full size. I figure by supporting the development of this size tablet, the weight will come down rapidly in a generation or two, and the computing power will rise dramatically too.
I'll thank everyone who goes and requests the glass protector and then posts that they did it in this thread. Hopefully we will all get what we want, a glass screen protector. If you made it this far, thanks for reading!

Whenever I hear this, all I think is marketing. The key quote for me is this "to protect the screen of your Samsung Galaxy Note PRO 12.2 or Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2 from scratches" - I translate this as "protect the note pro screen", it does not say or mean 'provide a scratch free surface to write/interact with' which is what they WANT YOU TO THINK it means, but it is not. Plastic will scratch and gather up micro scratches on it and it will not be perfectly flat like glass so it will be less than ideal to work with. I agree with the statement someone made that I'm spending a lot of money on this, I'm willing to go a little bit more to get a quality glass screen protector. [I will also likely buy a cheap, cheap cheap plastic film until then.]
I think of it as writing on the surface like it was meant to be (the surface is glass) so covering it with glass duplicates it but if I scratch the glass protector, I can peel it off and replace it, unlike the original screen surface. Nothing will be perfect at protecting from damage, but a glass protector will be as perfect as it gets. It is also my guess that people who don't think glass is worth it, just have not tried it yet (that would be my highest %, with some other stragglers as 'don't care about a protector', 'don't have the money to get glass', 'don't understand why they need a protector' [not stupid people, but just aren't cynical/experiences enough to realize they will scratch stuff until it happens and then they don't like it and can't do anything about it], or finally 'insensitive to the glass/plastic differences or minimal interaction with device').
I'm going to write to MIME again and say that with the consumers that are willing to spend a premium chunk of money on this device, will likely be either willing to or demand to spend a premium chunk of money on the ideal screen protector (meaning glass). Just like grocery stores (by the use of rewards cards) figured out that people who spend the extra money to buy organic milk will also spend the money to by organic mushrooms and other high profit items that people who just want to buy regular milk will not want to buy. So by spending the space and money to cater to these customers who demand premium products, they can make more money (and good profit) by carrying other premium products. Not everyone buys them, but the people who buy them tend to purchase other similar items. The Note Pro 12.2 is an expensive tablet,we want quality in it (high amounts of screen real estate) and are willing to pay for it. Since we are willing to spend a little more for it, I bet as a group we are willing to spend a little more to buy the "best damn screen protector surface" that we can afford. Maybe that is it we want to buy a surface, not just a protector. We want to buy an experience, the kinesthetics of fluid user/device interaction. To get the best interaction point you need glass, you just can't get it with plastic. Its not just a protector its surface interaction we want. I'll send this to MIME, maybe their marketing people can use it. With plastic you get a screen protector, with glass you get a true surface.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who is posting and for writing to MIME to help get this made for us high end tablet users. The days are dragging by until the LTE comes out and I can buy it. I want it NOW (with glass and a gumdrop bounce brand skin).
No I don't have the Spigen for the note 12.2 but have had it on other devices and it is very nice. No drag with a stylus. . I also have used zagg often on my phones and really like them mainly for the ease of installation. I Would really like to try the Mime but who knows their time frame to have it ready.
I have used Zagg screen protectors. I did not like them. They have a sticky feel that annoys the heck out of me. Glass or naked for my devices.

I have used Zagg protectors too, but this one seems to be different, made of glass not the sticky rubbery screen protector. Zagg has started making glass like tempered glass so I was wondering if the one at Best Buy was the new product. The description on it says glass-like.

Yup, you're right. Looks like it is real glass.
Sent MIME an email as well. Got a thank you response from them in a couple of hours. Here's hoping!
In the meantime I ordered a ghost shield from them for my son's moto x.
I have the steinheil, and it is smooth but not oleophobic at all so it shows fingerprints and has more glare. Ideally I would like to see spigen come out with a glass product like what I have for my gs4. The glass.tr I have for that is clear, smooth, Casey reduced glare, and is oleophobic. As a result, friends I see on a regular basis ask me repeatedly if I got my phone replaced because it always looks brand new.

This one has the highest hardness rating, rounded edges, anti-fingerprint coating, and is only .03mm thicker than the spigen while half the price.
I ordered the spigen and wasn't impressed. It was a little smaller than the phone's glass - meaning the edges could get chipped or cracked and then spread. I would have kept it but this was the first time I put a protector on and I messed it up a couple times and then it wouldn't stick well. Some corners weren't quite perfect which is partly why I had trouble aligning it (I didn't notice this until after). I ordered the one in the link but haven't had a chance to put it on yet.

I was wondering what everyone else's experience has been like with screen protectors on this handset.
I usually buy a Media Devil screen protector or a tempered glass one like on all my previous handset.
I have found that the nilken tempered glass and another non branded one had the same issue. The top of the screen protector and bottom left just don't seem to take for whatever reason and won't stick down correctly. I have tried 2 nilken and 2 of the non branded one bit had the same result everytime.
With the bad luck with tempered glass I tried these from amazon
3x Vikuiti MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Huawei.. For some reason they sent me only 2? Both had alignment issues.
So after all that I am using no screen protection which is not ideal but hoping someone here can recommend a good one.

Panzerglass is releasing their Mate 7 tempered glass protector in about a month. I contacted them.
I bought a Nillkin tempered glass and guess what, it is not sticking on the bottom left corner I have read the other tread and it seems that almost all Mate 7 has a faulty screen in the sense that they are not totally flat, which causes issues with using tempered glass.
Has anyone actually managed to apply a tempered glass wihout any problems on a Mate 7?
I ordered Stilgut tempered glass screen protector, i hope that it will be good.

Mocolo Glass Protector is amazing quality.
Proper cut outs for sensors as well. Rounded edges. Very clear and smooth.
Cheap in UK here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mocolo-Pr...-Protector-Huawei-Ascend-Mate-7-/321644518879
Yeah. Ive got this one http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321644518879&alt=web and it's all good.
I picked up the TruShield tempered glass version off amazon for my wife and my mate 7 works great.
I have tried a few tempered glass screen protector but I have the same problem with all of them. The lower left screen does not stick. I wonder whether all mate 7 has this problem or it is batch related.
I hope to bring some light regarding the glass screen protectors issues and why some they seem they don't seem to stick properly.
I purchased 5 Mate 7 in total (1 MT7-J1 / 2x MT7-TL10 / 2x MT7-L09).
All of them where having some issues with the glass screen protectors, some of them worse than the others. Usually one of the corners was not adhering properly. It is worth to notice that I tried with different brands.
The Mate 7 is not perfectly flat. If the headset is place screen down on a flat surface it will show when tapping on the corners that the phone wobbles.
In my case I gave up and I will stick with a normal one. Shame for that coz the phone otherwise is great.

Try this kind of tool.. and put it over the infected area for atleast a few hours..preferably over the night and if you are lucky.. the glue will fit..
I bougt the Nillkin without any research, it was pretty much the only glass avaiable in sweden for mate 7 (huawei have a small market share here). However, I was too fast when tried to apply it..so some dust and dirt did manage to go under the glass...so I will have to buy a new glass.. however... my phone is atleast protected now...I bought the glass protector to not make the crack in the original glass worse...
However.. I am now in the look for replacement, I am ok with 2-3 weeks delivry time... as long as it is cheap...Preferably from amazon.com
There seem to be a lot of glass protectors there, but I do not seem to find good tests where different brands are compared...
Have any people done serious research into this matter ?

This one seem to be very popular on amazon
Why do you want to buy a new glass protector? Just remove the protector from the screen, clean the dust and then put the screen protector back.
I have a nilkin tempered glass screen protector and it sticks perfectly. Didnt had any issue with it.
Since temperated glass protectors seem to be such a pain in the ass or have to be really small when they do work; has anyone tried this protector?
Here it is on the moto X (very similar to ours in design and even has curved screen; AFAIK they have the same problems as us on the moto x glass thread):

They were supposed to arrive Saturday (USPS 1-day Priority Express shipping), but did not. They are finally moving again, and I suspect will arrive later today.
I will post some photos as soon as I can.
Just received and took a couple of pictures (the dust is on the surface, not under the screen protector).
It's a fairly thick plastic, more rigid than typical plastic screen protectors... very nice quality. Went on extremely easily, and the fit is perfect.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed. Of course, how it will stand up against use I'm not sure yet.

Just received and took a couple of pictures (the dust is on the surface, not under the screen protector).
It's a fairly thick plastic, more rigid than typical plastic screen protectors... very nice quality. Went on extremely easily, and the fit is perfect.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed. Of course, how it will stand up against use I'm not sure yet.

Looks very nice. How does it feel compared to the glass screen? Is it as slick? How responsive is it? And lastly have you ever had a tempered glass screen protector?

I have used tempered glass screen protectors before, and it doesn't feel substantially different than them. After having used it a few hours, I can say that it feels very good, and is very slick. However, it does appear that there might be a slight decrease in sensitivity over what I was using before (Spigen Crystal Hard Surface Screen Protector) or a good tempered glass protector. I suspect that's due to the thickness and it being a "shock absorbing" protector.
The Spigen felt good too, but of course, it's not a "shock absorbing" protector and is probably half the thickness.
I'll continue using it for a while. I have an intelliArmor intelliGlass protector I ordered that should be here soon. Of course, it won't have as much coverage, but I will try it out as well if the Power Support sensitivity bothers me.

Some additional feedback on this screen protector. I've definitely noticed that when swiping on the screen (especially when using Swiftkey Flow to enter words), that the phone is losing track of my finger mid-swipe. I've never seen this problem before with other screen protectors, so it's a little concerning. I've sent a support request to Power Support to see if they have any thoughts or recommendations on this issue. I'll let you know what I hear back. Until I get some resolution on this, I can't say I recommend this screen protector because of this particular reason.
Edit: since I have a second Power Support protector, I went ahead and installed the intelliArmor. Here are images:

Here's the response I received from Power Support:
We apologize that you're experiencing this issue. Our films undergo extensive testing on our end and through Motorola to ensure that they will not reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen. We rarely receive this complaint, but on occasion we have heard this with the Shock-absorbing Brilliant Film for Nexus 6. Please let us know your shipping address, full name, and telephone number and we can send you a replacement film.

I'll post again when I install a second protector.
