I've been a Diztronic case lover for quite a while now. They're so minimalistic and yet so protective. I've had one for my VZN Galaxy Nexus, Droid DNA, S4, and now my Note 3 just came in the mail today. It doesn't look like much but these cases have saved my phones from several drops including drops hitting the corner. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone that wants good protection without adding a ton of bulk.
*Fair warning* - these cases do not come with screen protectors. I haven't ever used a screen protector on my phone without a scratch (plus completely unnecessary with Gorilla Glass 3).
Second pic is new case side by side with my S4 case. Now I just need my phone to fill it... ... ....

So the Note 3 does have Gorilla Glass 3 then? and you don't use screen protectors?

Yes, the Note 3 has Gorilla Glass 3. No, I don't use screen protectors. Completely useless to me. I bought my S4 on launch day, May 23rd. As you can see, even in this borrowed iCrap 5 photo, there isn't a single scratch. Also you see how snug the Diztronic case is around my S4.

My Diztronic case came yesterday. I too am a big Diztronic fan. I tried multiple TPU cases for my GNex, and always came back to the Diztronic. I do have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case also on order, but won't be too unhappy if it doesn't work out since I know I'll like the Diztronic. Now I'm wondering if the N3 with Dizronic/Neo Hybrid will fit any of the pouch/holsters I've ordered!

I have used a Diztronic TPU case on my S3 since summer 2012 and it has been fantastic. High quality TPU cases for a low price. I am probably going to get a Neo Hybrid case for the Note 3 just to change it up a bit. Might end up picking up a diztronic as well, we will see!

Ouch sorry to hear that. I definitely keep my keys and phone in different pockets or ensure that my keys are always on the back side of the phone if they HAVE to be in the same pocket (not the case 99% of the time).

Yes, the 3rd generation of Gorilla Glass is the most resistant so far. They keep improving at every step.
You're welcome and congratulations on your purchase!!! You'll enjoy the enhanced grip with the added protection!

I've never had an issue pressing the buttons. In fact, the case sometimes makes it easier. The case is thinner where the buttons are, but add a little more thickness. You get a good press every time. I just took my S4 case off and snapped a pic of the thinner spot where the volume buttons are.
I'm not going to tell you not to buy the SPIGEN case either. Apparently a lot of people like it from the Note 2 and other devices and has a good reputation.
I'm just going by what I know. The Diztronic cases are very good for a minimalistic experience with good drop protection. They are no Otterbox though, not even close.
EDIT: Silly me...forgot the pic
I am ordering one of these for my Note 3 tonight. I have been using one on my S2 for almost 2 years and love it, I drop my phone a lot and it looks new.
Diztronic Rox
Just got my black diztronic case today. I have used them on my EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE. Great light duty case. I'm just not the type that wants the phone to get too bulky but I don't want to run it naked so these work great!
I just purchased one hope I'll like it lol

I love the matte finish. The port cutouts are very accurate and the case fits nice and tight. It's definitely a keeper especially for the low price of $10. My only wish is that the "lip" of the case was also matte instead of shiny/polished.

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.
Has anyone found any screen protectors, film, PET, glass, etc. that cover the entire screen correctly? I've already ordered a film one that was all misaligned and didn't cover it well.
I hear that Zagg is coming out with one that's pretty awesome. It supposedly wrap around entirely, front to back.
I must be lucky because I never use a screen protector and have never experienced a broken screen, just use a Otterbox commuter.
I'm also looking for one of the self-healing screen protectors that fits... the ones on Amazon have reviews that say it's cut wrong

Don't seem to be sticking at the edges of the protector
I picked up an amFilm glass screen protector -- it's supposed to be full screen coverage.
I think I'll wait on ordering a glass screen protector until someone actually gets one installed and thinks it looks right. I'm wanting an edge to edge one. Even the Amfilm does not mention it's curved or not. Edge to Edge and curved to go to the edges are two different things.
I am going to buy the glass one here. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Galaxy-S...hash=item1a0f20ea52:m:mvH5yB-EhsNPPk95uO127rg

Just put on my skinomi matte. Perfect edge to edge fit. Not digging the rainbow effect though.

And then order a full coverage tempered glass later
I've found the IQ Shield wet apply to be a decent alternative to tempered glass. Not quite as smooth and clear, but excellent fit and protection.

Second the Skinomi Matte, fits nicely. The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn).
Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though.
Spigen ones cover the whole screen (not full coverage) and from S6 experiance they are actually slightly wider than the active parts of the screen, unliek most ones I have seen that are exactly the same width as the screen.
Can someone confirm that the front dimesions of S6/S7 are the same? Have some spigen ones left and guessing they will fit exactly the same?

Read both positive and negative ones on the S7 version. Some say perfect fit and some say its peels. Might be some quality control issues on first batches I guess as they were selling way before phone release.

Thats a bit of bad news. I would have expected better from Spigen.
Indeed, i always buy spigen screen/glass protectors but this time they're not very different from others.
Tbh i tried other screen protectors and spigen ones are the best, they don't stick for less than 1mm but it's away from perfect anyway.

I have the spigen neo flex screen protector on 2 s8s. The phones are in a spigen and oeago cases. The screen protector and cases don't interfere with eachother. However the iris scanner seems to always fail since I put the screen protectors on.
Go to Samsung and buy sceen protector from them. You can choose what size you want. I just said that I want to use Spiegen case for my mobile and she said that she will make smaller. Right now, I don't have problem with case.
I have 3 different non glass screen protectors arriving today/tomorrow and will post results asap once applied.

A lot of them say they're "case friendly," but neither of the ones I've tried so far were. A lot of the tempered glass ones seem to slide around after application and lift around the edges of cases. This seems to be a tough phone to design case-friendly screen protectors for. The one you linked to here is getting pretty bad reviews on Amazon...it would seem that it has similar issues: doesn't stay put and isn't compatible with at least some cases.

I'm using a Spigen Rugged Armor case. I have two more protectors coming this week, as well as a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I'll report back if I find any of these to be compatible. It seems like a lot of the screen protector manufacturers know that the sizing of their products is a problem, as they've been really cooperative with regard to returns and refunds.
This seems like a good time to share my 6 day experience with making a non-case friendly wet apply protector work. After messing with it I am quite happy with the Spigen Neo Flex wet apply on my S8.
I have mine with a Spigen liquid air armor case https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-plus-case-liquid-air. I had hoped the flexibility of the case would let me get away with it. In the end I had to trim down the corners fair bit and take about 1 -2 mm from the sides to get a near perfect fit. The best thing is the dust that got under the film when messing about was easily removed and cleaned by peeling it back and reapplying the application solution to the glass. Since then it has been faultless! This film will be staying put until I can find a good glass case friendly protector to replace it.
In separate news I am very happy with the case as well, but that's a story for a separate thread.
I picked up the Nextec tempered glass protector along with the Spigen Tough Armor case and they fit really well together. Really happy with the combo on my S8.
Be warned that the official Samsung screen protectors only seem to be compatible with Samsung cases. I tried with a Ringke case and ended up wasting a protector.
Waiting on delivery of my new 23 Ultra (should be here tomorrow) I've also got the "Spigen Tough Armor Case" coming today.
Wanted to know what's the best screen protector to use with this case? i did buy the official Samsung film too as it was cheap. But ideally I'd like something more robust like glass protector. But iv'e heard using the Spigen Tough Armor Case it may affect the screen protect and push it off after a while.
Any recommendation from people who have the Spigen Tough Armor Case and a good glass protector?
Also looking for a film type proctor for the back. As I have another galaxy phone, and it has a spigeon case on it, but the back of the phone has so many scuff marks on it due to the case rubbing on the back over the years. Ideally, ant to avoid this on the ultra.
i'm in the UK by the way.
I have been using this one (IMBZBK)
for months and it's still flawless. Don't buy Whitestone dome or Amfilm. They always start to peel on the edges. Plus Amfilm is using a very weak glue that doesnt last pass a day without the glass coming off.

Did you search for imbzbk
glass are pretty similar no matter the brand. My bro and I got s22/s23 and we tested few glass protector, and they all are +/- same size and same glue strength.
Some case fit, but the moment it has an impact, it will deform to the glass and lift it.
we tested otterbox, caseology and spigen. It all touches the glass.
However, yesterday I tried a new one, since I was tire to have bubble, and so far so good, it very far from the glass edge. Tocol brand case.
Not the perfect case, since it's slippery, the transparent back is not so transparent and you can not feel the vol/power button .
But this is the one, that Ill keep until the end , pretty sure. Which will be 5-6 years.
