Zagg Screen protectors and the S pen. Or any protector. - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

So I'm interested if anyone has gotten a Zagg screen protector and how it interacts and feels with the S pen. Is there too much resistance or does the rubber tip kind of feel sticky on it. If you don't have a Zagg how does your screen protector feel with the S Pen.

It's crap. While the Zagg adds a relatively thick layer that can act as shock absorber if you manage to drop the phone face down, I absolutely hate it when I draw on Sketchbook. It's sort of deformable, and the S-pen leaves small ridges in the protector as I draw, and the more I draw, the more uneven the surface gets. It was frustrating when I had it on my Note 2. Clarity-wise, it's quite good for normal viewing, but even a microscopic amount of oil smudged across can ruin the experience. The glass on the phone itself seems more oleophobic than Zagg's protector.
I'm running without a protector on my Note 3 at the moment, so I'm trusting the screen to Gorilla Glass 3. Since I have a wallet case, it won't have any hard objects gliding over it when I'm not using it. Few weeks in and I'm satisfied so far.

Thanks for the input bro. Duly noted that's what I figured would happen. I guess I'll opt for a privacy screen protector then. It's cheap, useful and effective.

Only the polyurethane based protectors have that issue (Zagg/BestSkinsEver/GhostArmor/Skinomi/etc...) because they are softer. The iSmooth/Spigen type protectors don't have this issue at all.

I have the Spigen tempered glass screen protector on mine. Working with the S Pen feels just like writing on the phones screen. Id recommend not going with Zagg if you intend to use the S Pen.

I've had nothing but good experience with Zagg. I have the Zagg High Definition on my Note 3 and haven't had any problems at all. S pen works great, doesn't leave ridges as someone mentioned above. Of course I didn't use the S pen in the first 48 hours to give the screen time to fully set in.

I am liking the zagg protector.. only issue I am having is that I dropped the phone off the end table 8 hrs after getting the phone and there is a dent in the protector.. didnt self heal.. i filled out for the lifetime warranty and giving it until this saturday to request a replacement....

Zagg makes a tempered glass for the iPhone, I'm hoping they release it for the note 3 but they probably won't since there's much less demand.

i understand that iphone is 1 size (ok 2.. 4 and 5..) but for saying not much of a demand.. my local BB couldnt keep Note 3's on the shelf and neither can my local sprint store... thus i had to play the.. im there at the right time deal to get my note 3... so there is a demand...

Since I've seen $8 and $12 tempered glass screen detectors mentioned in the last couple of days I don't see any reason why you'd get a plastic film screen protector.
The $8 one ships from the US as well so it should be quick. I wish I'd seen these before I spent $28 for mine.

Zagg HD screen protectors are absolute garage, they have been back since their original Zagg screen protectors before they added "HD" on to the name. Actually, that was the only improvement that Zagg has made to their screen protectors in years, just the name. I don't like glass screen protectors due to how painfully obvious it is that there's a screen protector installed, mainly due to the gaps around every edge, speaker, camera, sensors, Home button, etc. Not to mention that your Home button is now recessed. You'll notice most people wanting Home button stickers have a glass screen protector, just to bring their Home button back to being flush with the rest of the screen. If you want a screen protector that looks invisible, ZERO gaps around the edges, and feels just like your bare screen does now, then search "TechMatte" on Amazon. They are currently on sale for only $4.95 for a 3 pack! Much MUCH cheaper than all of the other screen protectors which claim to be "premium", when they'll actually either just be an eyesore, feel horrible to the touch, make your S-Pen unusable, or drastically deteriorate the now gorgeous looking display! Plus, TechMatte also provides you a lifetime warranty! I guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied, this will become your absolute favorite screen protector you've ever used or seen anywhere, and will LOVE it! Once installed, I bet your friends won't even know that you have a screen protector installed, and probably won't even be able to find it after you do tell them there's a screen protector on your phone! I posted a review of it with pics (I tried to photograph it anyway) here in this subforum. Here's a link to them on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CK...r=1-10&m=AG8AYSVS7E5IO&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
The stock photo in Amazon shows the screen protector having a U shaped cutout at the bottom for the Home button, but it actually has a precise cutout for the Home button which provides coverage all around the Home button

I don't remember which thread contains the link to the $12 one, but if you read all the screen protector comments you'll find it. I do remember that it's identical to this one, and I noticed it because it seemed the same as my Mime at a lower price.

I agree with you on the zaggs but I think you should try the spigen tempered glass t.r I was skeptical since I've never used glass but it's amazing like nothing is even on the screen. Most importantly it works flawlessly with the S-Pen. I had major issues with the Zagg and S-Pen on my Note 2

I've used zagg on my note 1,2 & 3 I can't complain..not 100% fluid with writing but I would prefer having the protector since 9 out of 10 times I never use stylus..now that I have spigen tempered I don't worry about it..very smooth

For one, if you wanted to spend over $100 you could get a new glass screen and get it installed somehow. As far as getting protection then, I fully recommend it. Gorilla glass is NOT AT ALL as good as they say it is. My phone doesn't come into contact with razor blades and other crap it says it stands up against, but it does come in contact with minor pieces of lint in my pocket which somehow scratched this "impervious" screen...
As far as what type of protector...I didn't like Zagg or Ghost Armor or any of those stupid things. More expensive, more hassle than they're worth. I got I think a Splash Masque screen protector off Amazon or something. Something like that should do the trick. Not too hard to install w/o bubbles and I can't really tell it's there (feels normal, fits just fine).
zagg scratch guards are pathetic to use.
all rubbery feel with no smoothness unless you lube it
overpriced stuff that you cant through off because you overspent kind of feeling ..
get cheap clear screen protectors.. cost $2-5 over ebay for pack of 10 or something
I agree with the other two. Don't get a Zagg. I am currently using one and regret it. When I slide my finger to scroll or to play games, sad enough sometimes my fingers don't slide as smooth as opposed to some other screen protectors. Although I would say that it has saved my screen a couple of times. If your willing to spend the money on a Zagg and idk what your budget is like you could try out the otter box Commuter. Its isn't that bulky in my opinion and has a pretty good screen protector on it, with the bonus of protecting the phone itself.

I used a bodyguardz but didn't really like the feel of it and the proximity sensor wouldn't work right. Order some other cheap one off Amazon which feels a lot better but the proximity sensor still doesn't work right with it.
I can deal with the proximity sensor issue more than I could put up with a scratch in on my screen. Not sure if the zaggs interfere with the proximity sensor or not.

I use Zagg full body coverage, and I'm very happy with it. Yes, it feels rubbery.
But I'm looking the Splash Masque stuff, it's good to know a second opinion
I picked one up on Amazon called
Motorola Atrix 4G Crystal Clear Premium Screen Protector 2 Pack by REALOOK (AT&T)
I can't link since I'm a noobie poster. It's slightly spendy at 10.99 but has been great for me so far. Easy to put on with no bubbles, doesn't effect the usability of the screen either. By far the best screen protector I've used when compared to a few I've had on my iPhones.

Don't go the Zagg route.
First the invisible shields are a true PITA to install! (trust me it's a lot harder than a normal screen protector)
Second even if you get it installed correctly it feels rubbery weird.
Just go with the clear screen protector cheapies on eBay, and either a leather holster or a TPU clear case (depending if you pocket or not) and you'll be fine...
Im a huge fan of ghost armor. I like the look and feel of it. Yeah it sucks do pay $20 for the initial screen and service, but its $5 bucks after to replace it forever.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I went with Zagg myself, went in to the local store had them install it for 10 bucks. Just got it replaced, it does have a sort of grip to it on the screen that you have to get use to. Overall all I'm happy with the protection it's given my phone, usually after a couple months I'll start seeing scratches and stuff, I'm a little disappointed that I had to take it in to get the shield replaced today, but it was free save for the installation free so I'd say it was definitely a good investment for my device.

How is your screen? Scratched yet?

Just got the phone this week and have babied it to prevent any scratches. Low and behold just looked and I have 3 different scratches already. The screen seems ridiculously weak considering I keep it very protected and was waiting till I get my screen protector in the mail today.
How are your screens holding up?
I check for dead pixels and scratches out of the box, then screen protector instantly.
The protectors from verizon mar easily with the spen, but I would rather it be on the protector then my screen.
I noticed three very short (3mm) scratches after a month and bought a copter screen protector. I threw that away after 2 days as it got marked by the pen and made small text impossible to read. I now have a cheap hard plastic screen protector that works well and does not affect the resolution.
No scratches here...been using it for 3 weeks with no screen protector. Never had a scratch on my gs3 either and I used it for 5mo without a sp.
^^^
Ditto. No scratches, no case, no protector.
No scratches or screen protector here either, and I just keep it in my pocket (with nothing else in the same pocket) when I'm traveling.
Hate screen protectors. I have a few tiny scratches but when the phone is in use you can't tell.

My screen is as clean as the day I got it. Of course I am unwilling to go without a screen protector on it for feel of getting a scratch regardless of ho good Gorilla Glass 2 is. SGP Steinheil screen protectors.
I got a tiny scratch after two days. I'm pretty OCD about scratches. Even though I can't see them when the screen is on, just knowing they are there annoys me. I was able to find a decent screen protector that doesn't effect resolution and actually filed in the scratch so I can't see it any more. My previous 2 phone never had screen protectors and I never got scratches. I know the Note 2 has a much larger target area, but I'm still surprised at how easily the screen got scratched. I'm not a huge fan of screen protector, but hey, it keeps my brain from hurting so much.

Which SGP protector did you get? Ultra Optics was to rough feeling for me and didn't with well with the S Pen. The Ultra Crystal feels and looks great, but scratches way too easy, especially from the S Pen. Trying to find a happy medium.

I just got the Verizon case with a kickstand and the next day while on the phone, it fell from my ear, hit the inner wheel well of my car then bounce off the ground about 3 times before sliding to a stop while the screen was down. Not a scratch except on the case itself.

MobC Protector
I went for a screen protector too since I scratched the Thunderbolt just before getting the Note 2.
I'm using the MobC Oleophobic protector from Amazon. I had a finger print proof screen protector on the TB (before I took it off and scratched the screen), but it was very matte finish. The MobC is clear while being oleophobic, so I like it.
The S-pen leaves marks right away when using is, but they fade pretty quickly.

Does anyone use a screen protector?

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.

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!

iLoome screenmate flex

I think I am going to preorder one of the iLoome screenmate flex glass protectors. If anybody is using or has used an iLoome product I would like to hear you thoughts on the quality of it. I saw that these same protectors were being used on other phones. From what I read they are good protectors. I just haven''t hear much of this company in the past.
Bought mines for 16 bucks. Well worth the price. It was easy to install and it's smooth as glass. Couple things to note, The sensors and the front facing cameras are covered by the glass. But i haven't had any issues with it.

I have it and it is great. Smooth as glass and haven't noticed any problems so far.
It's odd that Amazon now says pre-order. I ordered it last week and received it a few days later. It's worth the money, easy to install, fits great. You wouldn't know it was there if you didn't put it on yourself.
Very good product. I was hesitant with it being so bendy and thin. . But once it's on. . It s glass and thin.

I got the flex, and I almost wish I had gotten the one with hardness rating 9H. I mean the flex is smooth and the S-pen slides on it good, but you can tell that it isn't quite as hard as glass when you push down on the S-pen. Overall I am happy with it, and I am not planning on ordering a new one or anything.

Are you sure you're not confusing the give on the S-pen when pressed with give on the protector? The nib on the S-Pen moves when pressed. You can see this by just pressing it with your finger.
I'm curious since I'm looking at getting the flex as well.
I'm sure. I used the Note 3 for about a week without it before it came. I mean its not like I regret buying it, because it is the smoothest protector I have ever had. I am just saying that if you try to notice the difference you will notice it, but it is such a slight difference that it doesn't affect much. I would love to see if the Iloome protector with a 9H rating feels like. Bottom line, it is worth the money, but you can tell it isn't as hard as glass.

Umm, it is glass.. I just tried sliding my S Pen over my Note 3 (with Screenmate Flex) and over my S3 (bare glass) and couldn't notice any discernible difference. If it does have an effect, it is extremely minor and you would really have to be looking for it to ever notice. The main difference between this and the thicker tempered glass version is just the hardness rating. This one is an 8H and that one is 9H, so it slightly more prone to scratches than the other version (but still much better than any plastic protector). The advantage is how thin it is.
Thanks for the input. I ordered one and got it installed today. I am glad that my seidio surface case still fits. It didn't fit with the bodyguardz pure installed.
Go ahead and add a Spigen Slim Case Metal Slate and your phone will feel super premium. I ordered the 9th one still en route

How long have you had the screen protector? Iloome clearly states that the flex version comes with a coating that may be sticky or rough at first but should go away after a few days.

I just received my iloome flex and installed on the phone with spigen hybrid neo case..The flex has some coating so it's not smooth yet. Hopefully it should become better with use. In my opinion it's a lot better than plastic protectors. Installation has to be done slowly and precisely.. mine went perfect. I tested the proximity sensor...no issues at all..heck I even put a cheap plastic screen protector on top of the iloome flex glass to test and the proximity is working just fine..also tried a normal calling test and "Test your android"app to confirm. Well so far I am totally satisfied...must wait and see about the roughness. Pics attached..?

The iloome flex definitely gets smoother over time. Not as smooth as the tempered glass variants, but still pretty darn smooth. However, the flex is a finger print magnet. It's also harder to clean than the native screen or other tempered glass screen protectors I've tried.
Got the Iloome also, best protector I ever had.
Easy to install, and fits perfectly.
As mentioned, the first few days it's a bit sticky, but after a few days it's perfect.
I can't say it's a fingerprint magnet, it takes less prints then without.

[Q] Rihnoshield

I saw this at Kickstarter few months ago, and they launched now a NOTE 3 protector, has anyone tried it?

Can anyone tell me what's the diff btw this TG screen protectors and other competitors such as SPIGEN? Sometimes I just feel like most screen protectors are the same just branded diff

Most are just tempered glass with adhesive on one side and oleophobic coating on the other. My understanding is that they put an extra layer into the rhinoshield, a plastic layer under the glass. That will absorb and dissipate impact forces.
I'm working from memory here, I think this is what their kickstand page said a few months ago. I didn't see this description today, but their current description implies it.

they also state on their site that the max hardness of there products go up to 3h..sounds outdated and over priced when the avaverage tg screen protector around the same price has all those features + a hardness avg of 7-9h...for example i am using the mime feather glass on my note 3...free shipping plus you can add an aluminum button for 1 dollar on top of that.

Thanks for the info bros. I am now considering getting one for my Note 3 but not sure which brand/company should I choose. I am looking at SPIGEN again since their support is finally catching up with complaints and they seem to be redeeming themselves. I just checked out mime and it looks great as well. Any more suggestions and if so which is/are the ones you recommend (wonder is someone has done a youtube vid comparison)

I have the Mime and love it. There are no signs of bubbles or lifting edges, and it feels great without the extra button. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it as much with the extra button. The only thing about it i don't like is the wide cutout for the speaker plus sensors.
There are cheaper models that seem to be the same as the Mime at a much lower price, but if I picked a new one today I'd probably get the Rhinoshield.

Get the Spigen Glas.tr. It's solid. I have it and am really surprised at how sturdy, clear, and responsive it is. No smudges or scratches either.
I have the mime featherlite and love it. Thin and strong. No button needed (although i put on one for fun)

i am quite surprised there haven't been threads with people experimenting with glass protectors and plastic protectors on their own. either way it's redundant but on the other hand can extend the longevity of the glass protectors if having glass isn't your number one priority.
