Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about getting the Zagg Invisible shield. In the past, I have noticed that these invisible shilds are slightly rubbery and softer than some of the other plastic screen protectors. I am just wondering if this effects the performance or the experience of the S Pen at all?
Anyone have a Zagg screen protector installed?
I got the hd variety and have no issues at all . I think I'll be ditching this zagg for the spg crystal though I hear really good things about it and at half the cost includes two screens. Good luck,

Zagg are only nice because you can get them near a retail store, but utterly, they are crap. I don't care what anyone says but every Zagg i've owned has been sticky or really thick/rubbery. It might be nice though on the note since there is little friction between pen and screen.

I only buy SPG and yeah, they are probably one of the nicest screen protectors out there, unless you import from Asia... which means longer ship times.

Doesn't affect using the pen but the screen protector will show the lines drawn over time. Buddy had one on his original note and it looked terrible after awhile. He ended up taking it off.
They do make an HD screen protector now which really is like the glass screen. I haven't used that one with the S-Pen.
Thanks for the recommendations....I'll look into SPG.
I just assumed with all of the retail stores and marketing that the Zagg stuff was the best. Glad to have opinions and reviews from other users to make an informed decision. Thanks!
I have the hd zagg. The rubberyness to the zagh seems to make sense. It doesnt cause friction on finger or spen but if you press to hard it does leave an indent. But the indent ise gone after a half hour or so. It like re expands lol

They are a total rip off. Anything that is mass marketed usually becomes that way. I have friends who love them, and then I show them my phone and they are like what? there is a screen protector on there? I've never liked Zagg. The HD one may be nice, but i'm wondering how they do the glass screen on a curved screen? I was under the impression this wasn't possible.
The hd is not a glass screen fyi. It's the same material as the og just supposedly clearer. It's junk and I wasted 27$ on it. I'll be switching to the spg crystal. For 15$ and you get 2 screens. Zagg=****
My spg is awesome. It's the ultra clear version.

I just ordered my HTC One and am looking for a screen protector.
1) Do you guys think the gorilla glass 2 will hold up on scratches?
2) I'm thinking about playing it safe, so for those of you who have a screen protector, which one would you recommend? SGP?

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.

I use Skinomi tech skin Carbon Fiber skin that came with a screen protector and I'm very very happy with both.

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.
Got my note 3 a few days ago and I'm loving it. I love the feel, the leather back, the slimness. It's great. But I feel I should be protecting it somehow.
I went for an official S View case but it turns out it's not official and i'm not sure I want to spend £50 on a case that doesn't offer full protection.
I've had a browse but can't seem to find one that would not effect the profile of the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions
Thanks.

Dunno about slim cases (I have a UAG), but I'd definitely recommend a tempered glass screen protector. Especially if you were interested in getting the authentic S-view case.
I bought an $8 eBay protector recommended in the tempered glass screen protector thread and have been very happy with it. Cheap way to keep your screen scratch free.
The problem I've found with screen protectors is that I can't apply them for them life of me. They always bubble or get fluff stuck under them.

Try the tempered glass protectors. I used the MIME Ghost Glass for my S4 and i just got one for my Note 3. It just got here like 30 min ago. IF you get one, you don't have to worry about bubbles, they come out on their own in like an hour or 2. Just apply it in a bathroom after running the shower with hot water to get a touch (NOT a lot) of steam in the air. That pulls all the dust particles out of the air as you apply it.
As for the cases, I agree. I like the feel of the Note 3 naked. I also got a case that makes it actually feel more slippery. I love the case as i had the same for my S4 but it is more slippery. I picked up the Spigen Slim Armor case in the metal color.
I have a bumper case, just the frame around the phone. My phone already fell out from the pocket of my pants, when I was changing (frankly I thought I had the phone in my jacket, otherwise would be more careful) onto the wooden floor from about 4 feet and I think I would have already some type of damage, if it wasn't for the bumper case. I like my phone very much, therefore having it in pristine condition is more important than anything else.
Something like this:

Caseology, Spigen, and UAG are the only way to go for cases.

This is going to sound odd, but in order to get a flawless application of your screen protector . . . do it in the bathroom. I always run the shower as hot as it gets for a few minutes prior to trying to apply the screen protector to let the steam pull most of the dust particles out of the air. I also line up the screen protector prior to removing the backing and tape one side so that it functions like a hinge. This way once the backing is removed you do not have to worry about lining up the protector and it basically applies itself from the taped side.

Question might be lame but just to make sure - Can tempered glass be removed if needed or once is applied/glued thats it ?
It will just lift up. No residue left really. Think of it as more sticky and does not bond like a glue. Until you crank one and have to remove it... It's kinda hard to describe. But it comes up as easy as it is to put down
Ordered it. Should be here soon. Do I still need a screen protector with it do you think?

just want to ask something about tempered screen protector. i just bought the spigen glass tr screen protector and had applied it successfully on my note 3 just having one little lint underneath but i dont care too much about it as it cant be seen when the screen is on. but i want to ask is tempered glass has any side effect to my screen ? such as reduce the screen sensitivity as i heard from someone that using tempered glass has negative effect. is it true ?
I haven't noticed any sensitivity issues. To be fair, I put the protector on only a few days after I purchased the phone, but I honestly never noticed any ill effects after installation.
On my S4 or this phone I've never had sensitivity issue with either phone. The Spen works flawlessly with THE MIME Ghost Glass (is only 32mm thick as to Spigens tr glass which is .40mm thick)
Well my case turned up and I love it. Such a well made product.
It makes my phone look kind of Storm Trooper like. I wonder if I can get a vinyl for the front.

Sure you should, look at your old watches, smart or not, they always have scratches.

I'd be tempted to say yes. I might be getting one for myself.
Thanks I also order by amazon the screen protection
I was looking at a Skinomi TechSkin
I don't have one on my Pebble and its good shape. Minor scratches but notching intrusive.
$10 for spigen but they proven to me they last a long time. Rarely need to replace on my phones. As far other watches I bop them on stuff all the time but they have decent scratch resistance as well.
If it gets annoying I'll go without but I got a pack coming.

Same here, on both my N5 and my M8 I have glass screen protectors..I dropped my M8 once and it SHATTERED the screen protector(I mean shattered...very hard to see the screen) but not a scratch on the screen, it also had a case on, so with the combo of the two, what would have made me need a new phone, it looks brand new still

I went through 2 glass screen protectors on my s4. one had been applied badly and had junk stuck under it despite my best attempt,didn't seat correctly and started pulling loose eventually cracked. Last one was great for a long while... chipped along the edge thanks to something in my pocket. tried to baby it.. eventually cracked being flexed in my pocket.
Guess I didn't have good luck. On a watch for me probably wouldn't last a week.
Edit: just realized they won't be to me for another week thanks to slow poke mail, trying to be cheap.
I'm not even gonna lie. I will be going budget or DIY on this one. I have about 8 extra screen protectors from previous phones so I'm going to attempt cutting them to size of the g watch until the glass ones are available.

same here. i ordered the spigen ones (3x) but im not really impressed. so instead I now took a spare protector for my n5 from mumbi and cut it myself. It doesn't look any worse than the edges from the spigen one and it's a really good screen protector
This stuff right here: http://www.amazon.com/bIONic-Shield-Liquid-Screen-Protector/dp/B00HZDOQIC
bIONic Shield liquid protector. I've been using this on my HTC One and my Nexus tab, and it's the real deal. Can't scratch your screen with a key, knife, etc. The rest of my phone's case is banged up, but the screen is flawless.
I'm most likely grabbing the LG G Watch Screen Protector CR from Spigen
It is the same as what I currently use on my Nexus 5.

I am using that one for 3 days now and I can only say I am very disappointed. You won't leave fingerprints, but smudges still appear all the time, its even worse than without the protector. What I did now was to take a spare screen protector for my Nexus 5 from Anker and cut it to the size of the watch-display. Looks almost as good as the Spigen one but it is very resistant to smudges. I almost never have any resedue apart from dust. I can't recommend the Spigen screen protector because of this.

They do smudge quite a bit. Not sure what else to do about it though doesn't affect indoors as much as out.
I do notice that the smudges aren't oily colored smudges like I did without so there is a slight difference. No worse than any other clear protectors on any other devices. Matte ones would help a bit but still doesn't look as nice.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but I'm using an iCarez 0.2mm tempered glass screen protector (9H hardness) with a Cruizerlite BugDroid TPU case without issue. Screen protector and care do not interfere with one another despite the screen protector extending to the edges of the glass.

I'm guessing you'd recommend a 0.2mm over the 0.3mm
Even with just a 0.2mm iCarez in place sometimes I get missed touches, particularly while playing Ingress and towards the top of the screen. The 0.4mm glass Verizon sells has been reported to cause real bad touchscreen issues. I think the 0.3 ones are fine, but since 0.2mm is available and just as protective, why not go for the thinner one ?
