I have a Note 4 with a Rearth Screen Protector and its S-Pen slides well. I put an Anker screen protector on my Note 12.2 and its no good with the S-Pen like if the material is different (harder). Rearth doesn't do 12.2 screen protectors, but are there any known brands that do one for the Note 12.2 that will work well with the S-Pen like the one on my Note 4?

Not sure what you mean by it's no good. Not knowing what feel you're looking for makes it hard to help.
Personally since I mainly just take notes with mine (I'm not an artist at all) I prefer the surface to be completely smooth/slick so a tempered glass screen protector (I'm using the Mime one) and the harder white tip in the S-Pen is my preferred setup.
On my note 4 the S-Pen glides smoothly and freely, but on the Note 12.2 it doesn't, it feels like if I am trying to glide on a rubber type surface.

Notice the ending of the pen. For my Note 3 I got a set of replaceable endings. Some of them were soft, giving feeling of a rubber-coated material, while others are hard like a plain plastic. Since I have a matte-finished protective film on my screen, I prefer the hard tip for my pen. At the same time, I'm using the soft tip for my Note Pro pen since I have no any protective film yet and such tip behaves better on plain Gorilla Glass.
By the way, I got no tips set with my Note Pro, but maybe because it was a refurbished tablet...

Never knew there were two different tips, but yes you were right, I changed it to the other one and now it glides smoothly. Thanks!

So I just ordered a Spigen Bounce Case and a Mime Ghost glass. I'm hoping they go together smoothly until they release the otterbox but I want to know are the S4 Home Buttons compatible with the Note 3? I notice the mime adds a slight thickness to the screen and I want to know if I can use a S4 aluminum home button on my Note 3 to help with the thickness. Sorry, just trying to have everything ready for that Thursday Verizon release!
I have the Bounce case and MIME protector. I haven't put the MIME protector on yet, but it should fit just fine. I laid it on the screen with the case and couldn't notice any obvious issues. As for the S4 button. The ones I bought from China seem to fit fine, but it's not perfect. I think the Note 2 buttons would be more compatible, but not sure since I didn't have one and also waiting for Note 3 buttons.

Thanks, your actually who I wanted to ask but I didn't see a way to message you. Is the case bendable and rubberish or like like a hard plastic?

Yeah, I turned off my PMs for a bit. It's definitely not hard plastic and you can bend it as much as any TPU case.

I actually prefer the Ghost Armor screen protectors. I got one on my note 2 after the Zagg armor kept getting imprints from the Stylus.
I was one of the people that inquired about the new screen protectors released by the owners at TechMatte. I applied the screen protector for a few days before I received by iLoome flex tempered glass, but I must say that had I not ordered the iLoome previous to receiving this screen protector, I don't think I would have ever made the purchase for the tempered glass.
Applying was a breeze (I've done plenty in the past) and the surface is silky smooth. I don't have the orange peel effect and it makes it seem as if you were using the phone without a screen protector at all. It's that good. S-Pen glides with ease! Thickness is top notch and fits in my slim case just fine. The alignment and cutouts are to the T! All in all a great screen protector at a great price. Packaging is exceptional.
I received 3 in the package and gave the other two out to my uncle and friend. Before I gave them each one, I applied to my phone first to ensure that they wouldn't be disappointed if I was initially as they've had negative experiences in the past with other protectors. Fortunately, I haven't heard anything negative and they are still running it to this day.
If you don't want to do the tempered glass route, go with amFilm screen protectors! They're a steal at this price:
http://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Protec...d=1384831915&sr=8-1&keywords=techmatte+note+3
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the screen protector on the my GN3, as I have switched to the iLoome. But imagine a naked GN3 and that's essentially what it feels like.
S pen glides like a loaded down dually going uphill in deep snow. Other than that it was good. Seriously. But I did take off for another brand that is good with the s pen also.

Amazing description, lol - but did you try with the harder plastic S-Pen tip? My Note 3 came with the rubbery one pre-installed, and I switched it to the firmer plastic one right away for better gliding. It's hard to tell, but if you look closely and test them on the screen before inserting them into the S-Pen, you can tell the difference between the tips...

Hmm.. Will double check later. I could've sworn my pen came with the harder tip already on. Will be awhile before I test the am film again though. The screen protector I am using now is very good, rearth invisible defender . Very resistant to scratching and good swipe action without having to add rain x or oleophobic coating. Still haven't opened my ismooth's yet either which I liked on note2.

how well does stylus work with screen protectors, anyone had good/bad experience?
I am looking at buying anti glare one
i understand that there is 'increase touch sensitivity' mode in settings that can also help?
Well all are bad after time, I mean the pen doesn't slide good and that's why I use tempered glass.

I have a mime feather tempered glass and the s pen works just like nothing is there. I'd assume any of the tempered glass covers get the same results.

i have seen these tempered glass on sale but they all look chunky, are they really much noticeable in terms of weight and thickness?
looks like i might have to get one since i do want to use stylus with no issues
I've got the iloome Flex and love it. Only about .12 mm thick compared to most tempered glass protectors that are around .40-.60mm thick. Zero effect on stylus

does it have anti glare? thats would totally sell to me
Considering that witht the seperate s pen digitizer you can use your pen juat aboce without touching screen protector should have zero effect on it.

I'm using an Anker Xtreme Scratch Defender screen protector and am having no problems with the s pen.
No Worries...
I use amzer shatterproof screen protector on my N3 and am also using the stylus from a quite long time and I have not faced any problem in using it...its working smooth and fine...yes tempered glass screen protector works well but I would say my screen protector is also working really well...
Don't worry about what screen protector you get (except the real rubbery ones/wet apps) whether it be tempered glass or pet when it comes to the s-pen. Get the one you want, try the s-pen out and if it's too sticky replace the tip with the plastic tips included with your phone. The one that's installed out of the box is the rubber tip so it'll stick to pet more and function better with tg. The plastic tip slid easily on both. Personally I liked the rubber on tg because the resistance reminds me of actually writing with a pencil.
You have to look very carefully at the tip of the replacements and you should see a difference between some of them. I believe 3 rubber ones and 2 plastic ones are included in the replacement tips.
My personal recommendation (I've tried the spigen tr, spigen ultraclear pet, 8 dollar ebay TG, and Nillkin H+) is the Nillkin H+ which is about $16 if I remember correctly. Perfect tempered glass screen protector and the price is significantly lower than spigen and iloome(except flex).
Edit: and you shouldn't worry about using increased sensitivity or anything, I personally haven't heard of a case where the screen protector has caused issues.

Ya a normal PET one will usually do the trick, but on such a beautiful screen the smudge marks which gather more on PET just ruined it for me, not to mention the tackyness. If you ever want to treat yourself pick up this guy (included UK link for you),

I'm using the mime feather light and it's amazing .smoother then stock imo.
The S-Pen does not use the capacitive digitizer and "Increase Touch Sensitivity" will do nothing. If you read up on the way the Wacom digitizer for the S-Pen works, you will see that the digitizer tracks the S-Pen's location above it and S-Pen itself is what signals when contact was made and how much pressure was applied, so the thickness of the glass doesn't matter as long as it is in range of the Wacom digitizer (where the pointer is visible).
I use the crystal clear from spigen and changed the tip of s-pen to plastic one and it works flawlessly.

I did not realize that. Thanks! What is the advantage of the rubberized tips? Just for feel?
I've read through a lot of the posts regarding cases, and have been considering the Logitech keyboard case, but honestly, the reviews aren't very good for the case as far as securing and protecting the device. I'm mainly concerned about the screen getting cracked or scratched during transit. My pro will spend most of its time on my desk but will have a lot of time in my backpack between classes. At the moment it's sharing space with my Mac Book Air in a soft briefcase-type of thing. I was hoping for something a lot like the Zagg keyboard case I have for my iPad 4. I don't care much about the keyboard since the Zagg pairs nicely with my Pro, and I plan to use the stylus 99% of the time.
Any recommendations or ideas? The Zagg for my iPad is pretty low quality as far as the keyboard is concerned but I've never worried about traveling with my iPad when it's in that case. It's a real beast!
Although I don't have one, my vote goes to the Speck Stylefolio .
1. You say you don't need a keyboard since you already have one that works.
2. Having the flip cover protects the screen while in your bag.
3. The flip cover does not have any magnets which means no interference with S-Pen functionality.
OtterBox. Period. Adds some major weight and size, but if you truly want what you're describing - in regards to the most protection any case out there can offer - then there you have it. It's also $130. Best $130 you'll spend on your nearly $700 tablet. A little steep, but your investment is just a tid-bit steeper, don't you think?
I purchased this one off a recommendation here. It protects it nicely but I will be trimming it around the buttons as it covers them slightly. And annoys the crap out of me.

I do have the Speck Stylefolio, and it provides great overall protection with minimal bulk, and securely holds the Note Pro. Quality materials, worth the cost.
=GO=
You can find iPad Case at www cell-phonecover com.
I have both the Samsung flip cover, which has no bulk and the Samsung Keyboard case. Had the logitech, and it damaged the corner by the spen by chipping the finish off the tab.
The flip cover corners have cracked and kinda fits looser. I only use it if I'm doing a site walk outside for work. Other than that, if it's on your desk most of the time, I would recommend a stand of some sort that doubles as a cover.
I have been on my Note 4 for a while. I was waiting to get the Note 7 as I need a bigger screen. With all the Note 7 issues.... looks like it will be a long wait.
I am trying to decide if I should just jump to the 7 edge or wait.
I need a hard case that allows wireless recharge, and tempered glass. I have been reading every where and it looks like this may be what keeps me in my note 4.
I need a larger screen so the regular s7 is too small.
I don't use the stylus very much so that is not an issue.
I read big sticky thread and seems a tempered glass that covers the whole phone is VERY much expensive AND it appears I cant use a hard case.
Any help would be nice. What case works with a reasonably priced tempered glass that covers the whole screen. If I have to give up wireless charging I will.
Thanks.
I can only speak for the vanilla S7 (as this is an S7 forum) but I use the Nillkin hard textured case. I've literally tried about 20 before I settled on it. It allows fitment of the Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass screen protector (with about 1/2mm clearance) and also allows wireless charging. The case is also very minimal and discrete but gives good coverage and protection and adds superb grip in the hand. I won't be buying another case until the phone's sold.
