False, they are not the same thing. I use it myself. It's thinner, had a whole different feel and is closer to clear than the ZAGG. ZAGG has major orange peel. They function the same way, but are not the same thing. I've been picking up the screen protectors for $1.49. It also has better cut tolerances, they cover more of the screen and are more true to size than the ZAGG.
Xtreme Guard products are usually cheaper on eBay, from the same guy. For some reason it's $2.00 + free shipping on Amazon.

Bought one pack myself. First one I was careless and got dust...second one went on perfectly.
3rd party ones are definitely cheaper but I hate how some are cut , given the nature of the glass on Amaze I figure its a pretty good option.
Boxwaves are very durable and very clear from previous purchase I would recommend.

All the anti glare ones I've seen are a lot more sensitive to skin oils and very noticeable grease look. they also make the screen look dull and not as beautiful. In my personal experience

My question is this: If the screen is gorilla glass, why would you get a screen protector besides the fact of glare???? is there something I don't know?
P.S. our screens are oleophobic, meaning they don't smudge as much as other screens with oil...my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is an oil magnet but with this phone I have noticed very little oil smudges and wipes right off with a swipe from sleeve of your shirt or something.
I have seen specs that say it is and others that say it isn't.

It is I keyed my own phone cause I had insurance right when I got it...keyed the hell out of it...then keyed my gf old cracked 3g slide screen which is supposed to have gorilla glass, the glass on the amaze seems more resistant....HTC has stated that they do no use actual Gorilla glass but something more advanced...
I then took a knife SO I tested the 3g slide with mine and amaze is definitely more scratch resistant...NO GLASS IS EVER SCRATCH PROOF not even gorilla glass, take a sand paper to it and it'll leave scratches...so I guess if you drop you phone on sand or small pebbles you can scratch it no matter what you have..but as long as I don't have to worry about putting my phone and keys in the same pocket i'm fine...but it seems very resistant to scratch and smudge from my own experience. I absolutely hated smudges on my N1 and on my galaxy tab 10.1 I can't even tell on my amaze...
remember gorilla doesn't mean its shatter resistant...its only scratch resistant partially...although screen covers seem to protect from major scratches even sand paper... they don't protect form shattering...when I had an Iphone (big mistake) i used to have zagg, bodyguardz, gadgetguardz, and i still managed to shatter my screen lol...
if you have an older phone like an N1 take your finger and try to smudge the screen and try to smudge the screen on this phone you will see a major difference even if you have oily hands, the oil comes off with a quick sweep, as on my old N! it would smudge....
btw my gf sensation which is listed under gorilla glass shattered the first time she dropped it lol....here are some tests of gorilla glass and amaze glass

Gorilla glass or not you should have a screen protector

Hi guys, I'm new to Android OS and to Samsung phones, so welcome me! I came from using BlackBerry for years. Never tried iOS, nor owned an iPhone, so I hope I made the right choice.
So there's a scratch already on my phone. I can't tell whether it's on the screen protector or the screen itself... I'm debating whether I should peel the protector off and take a look (obviously losing it in the process).
How do I tell? I'm very obsessed about my new Note, so it's hard for me to not notice.
The screen protector was put on since day 1. The CSR from Future Shop (Best Buy owned in Canada), put it on for me and I sure hope he didn't scratch the screen while applying the cleaning solution, wiping it, etc. before putting on the screen protector (I was watching him do it)... The screen on the Note doesn't scratch easily does it?
im sure its only on the screen protector but that would make me weary of how well it protects. I replaced my screen protector and switched to a sgp protector cause on my original protector the s-pen scratched it....since I switched to sgp I have used the crap out of the s-pen and it hasnt scratched these yet

Thanks for fast reply. What is this SGP protector? I'm going to look into that.
It's a good thing I didn't pay for this ZAGG protector... It was $19.99 lol, they gave it to for free so I'm not so upset about it (as long as it isn't on the ACTUAL screen). I can actually register the product and ask for a replacement (since it's lifetime guarantee), but will cost me $3.99 for shipping.

That's what I've been wondering myself... I'm not sure where the scratch came from because I barely used the S-pen, and the scratch is half an inch long (noticed it on white background).
Anyway, that's what made me to believe that the scratch could be on the screen itself since there is also a little dust particle that I can see under.
Over time, my Zagg looked like it had many scratches and I could not discern whether it was on the screen or Zagg. Eventually, I removed it out of annoyance with the orange peel and tackiness. The Zagg did it's job. I liked other wet protectors more because they felt more like glass and didn't have the orange peel. I'm using a dry SGP now, it's very nice. I'd recommend the SGP over the Zagg any day of the week.

This is another gripe I have about my screen protector... The orange peel feeling and the fact that the S-Pen is HORRIBLE with it. Anyway, I don't use the pen much so it's fine.
I do like it since it hides fingerprints well. I guess I do have to try SGP.. Wet and dry protectors? I'm assuming dry is just the usual adhesive style, while wet is the ZAGG where you have to use the liquid solution?
Here is what my SGP looks like and I have used the s pen alot

Another thing... the Zagg protector doesn't cover the top right side of the phone as well.
While I did not choose a zagg to put on my gnote, I have used them in the past and they can take some serious abuse! Unless you really smacked, it I doubt the scratch went through.
I went with a sgp since it is clearer and for the s-pen. I wanted the s-pen to have as close to a stock screen as possible and the sgp does that very well.

My concern is if the scratch got onto the screen before the protector is on. Anyway, I'm probably just overreacting. I couldn't remember how the scratch got onto the screen protector, so I was thinking it was under it

I've used Invisibleshield (Zagg nowadays) protectors for years now on 5 or 6 different devices. Never managed to scratch it. If you scratched the protector, you'd know it. It would have either had to have been something as sharp as a knife, or have taken a pretty good hit.
But, if you see dirt or dust behind it, then the install area wasn't very clean. So, is it possible that the "scratch" you are seeing could be some debris between the protector and the screen (like maybe a hair)?

If it was hair, wouldn't it just show a black line? The "scratch" is distorting the color (more pronounced in white background).

Hey, hope you read this and share if you eventually found out if the scratch was on the protector or underneath after several months.
I have the same exact problem as you, I am seeing some scratch color distortion in white background. Hopefully the scratch is on the protector, not the screen. Problem is I have no way to know since I didn't install the protector myself, unless of course I remove it which I don't want to do right now.
You can always replace it through zagg.com for only the cost of shipping the old one back and the new one to you. To the USA is 3.99 I believe.

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.

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.

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

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.
I use the S-Pen a lot, mostly for sketches or quick notes. I have gone through a bunch of screen protectors that either leave scratch marks or create a lot of friction, like rubber on rubber. I really don't want to use one of those thick glass screen protectors since the one I bought literally shattered within a month lol. Instead of wasting 100+ bucks trying to find the right screen protector it would be awesome if someone could recommend one that they have personally used and works great with the S-Pen.
Instead of replacing your screen protector again, have you changed your spen tip? Try the plastic ones that came with it instead of the rubber ones.

I have but they create a lot of scratches, I used the rubber tip to negate the scratch problem but a different one arose.

I know you said you didn't want the glass screen protectors but they definitely work best with the s-pen.

I know but buying a 35$ screen protector every other month will end up costing me more than the actual phone itself lol

Did you have a case on it also? I think the thicker glass protectors are more apt to break when dropped without a case since they stick up above the edge of the phone.

I had a transparent TPU case on it, but like you said because they are so thick there isn't much of a lip. They are more apt to getting hit. I was thinking of maybe getting those cheap tempered glass protectors from eBay since there isnt that big of a difference in quality, they are only like 8 bucks so i can probably buy 5-6 in bulk.

That's why I like the Mime Feather Glass, it's only .15mm thick so it doesn't sit above the edge of the phone.

The glass I just ordered looks exactly like the Mime feather: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151149432433
if that doesn't work out ill give the Mime feather a shot, just ordered a aluminum button from them though lol. Spigen doesn't have any available for the Note 3 that i know of, plus they are noticeably more expensive.
Zagg. I don't use anything else. Feels nice with the pen. Good warranty too - Samsung had to replace one of my Note 3s, so they took the Zagg off and stuck it on a piece of paper. It's costing me a little over $3 (shipping & handling, I guess) for a new screen protector. Zagg didn't do anything wrong, the protector's still fine. But they're replacing it.

That looks like the Ghost Glass, the Feather has a lot smaller cutout up top. Let us know how you like the one from eBay.

Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

I also scratched my screen on the very first day. I am not sure how I scratched it but its there. So in a case of closing the barn after the horse ran off I bought a tempered glass screen protector from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGSW734/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Price wise it was 9 dollars but I really liked and and best of all is that it has a life time replacement warranty.
Now about the actual glass its not too thick and though it does slightly protrude a bit you don't really notice unless your really looking for it. The shape is perfect and fits exactly as it should reaching the edges exactly.
Now for the scratch proof test, Since it did have a lifetime warranty I said screw it and took a knife to it. I really did try to scratch it and I wasn't successful. I thought those advertisement pics and videos were bull$hit but it really didn't scratch.
Anyway all in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice screen protector and doesn't like the feel of the thin film/ membrane type ones.
That's really cool. I picked up my glass protector yesterday. The brand is body guardz. Purchase price was $39.99+tax. No life time warranty, but if you register you can grab replacement at 20% discount.

It's really clear and works great. My screen seems a bit less responsive though.

Interesting product. I scoffed at the idea of paying $40 for a screen protector, I've lived through all my smartphones on cheap Ebay films. They get scratched up over time, but by the time I even think I should replace it, the phone is over a year old anyway. I've never applied more than 2 over the life of a phone, and the one on my EVO 4G LTE is the one I applied on launch day. Even so, for this price I'd go for the glass protector. That micro-ridge you'd get would be covered by a case anyway, too.

ok so for real does it cover the whole screen? i bought that $40 zagg one and it has a pretty large gap all around it look and feels good but the gap is some bull ****. I thought a case would close the gap but no not even close.

so my bulldog decided to jump off the bed today and landed on my phone... needless to say there's a scratch on the screen now, will a screen protector hide it?

Possibly, I guess it all depends on how big the scratch and how deep it is. Doesn't hurt to try and protect it from more scratches.

I went with the iloome LG G3 ScreenMate Flex Flexible Glass 8H Hardness. Money well spent, looks flawless.

I used to get Bodyguardz but they didn't have the anti-glare for the G3, then I found iCarez on Amazon. It has better quality than Bodyguardz and comes with three protectors. Best of all, the price was $4.95.
I am very particular with my phone. My phone is naked except for the screen. I used to use Zagg on my HTC EVO 4G and Galaxy Nexus, then switched to Bodyguardz for my Nexus 5, but when I realized they didn't make the anti-glare for the G3 I was lost. Amazon saved me. I am so happy I found iCarez. I have another set in the way for my wives new iPhone too.

Picked up a iCarez Tempered Glass protector and must say, for ~$8 you get one heck of a piece of kit. The Protector fits great, looks great, and feels fantastic with a smooth touch. While they are this cheap I highly recommend them.
*Edit* Ha completely missed the first page post, but yes same protector and for the price, this screen protector is the real deal.
Just got my ZAGG invisible shield glass edition from ups today feels great

My ZAGG glass covers the whole screen with my otterbox silhouette case on the only part it doesn't cover is by the ear speaker and the front camera
Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
If i kept my phones long enough i would pay for something like a zagg. Truth is i change phones a lot. Sometimes i dont even have everything come in that i order before i have traded or sold/bought another one. For this reason i usually get a 7-10$ ebay tempered glass protector. I love the glass ones. I cant see how paying an extra 25$ could make it that much better. The cheaper ones feel great imo. I dont think i can ever go back to a plastic screen protector now that i have used glass

Sounds great. Thanks for tip. Ordered mine tonight.
5 months into using the Icarez and I have to say I still love it. No problems with it whatsoever and it still hasn't been scratched. What else can a person want from a screen protector?
@ScottPa74- no problem for the recommendation. THe first thing I do when i get a new device hel sometimes even before I get i come to XDA to check out whether its worth it and what should I get for it.
