Hi guys,
I am buying a sgn 10.1. But i was wondering if a screenprotector will decrease the accuracy and effectiveness of the spen.
Anyone some experience on this part ?
Cause i cant stand scratches on screens so was thinking of adding a protector but dont want the funcionality to decrease!
thx!
I don't think that it would, maybe at worst some loss in pressure sensitivity occurs (so you have less than 1024 levels), due to the 1mm or however thick the screen protector is.
l don't think you will lose any sensitivity because the pen uses magnetic inductance to operate which is why the pen does not need batteries.
l have a screen protector on my phone which is the small version of this tablet and there was no difference when the screen protector was applied. I am waiting for Samsung torelease their official screen protector in the UK for my 10.1 Note.
Don't buy Zagg or any like it
Just be sure not to buy a Zagg.
Bought one the same day as the Note at BestBuy.
Screen protector is so sticky you won't be able to use the pen at all.
I won't slide on the screen, and it won't register correctly.
It has nothing to do with the "cure" time, left the protector in for 2 days, same results.
Zagg is flexible and rubber like, will render the pen useless.
Buy a "static" type of screen protector, they are almost not flexible at all.
It's working perfectly now that I have it.
Under the "accessories" part of the forum you should be able to find several on Amazon.
Avoid ZAGG!!!

haha yeah, I pulled it off my tablet pc and cut it to size. it fits and works perfectly! i have one scratch on that thing after hard abuse and that was from dropping a knife on it
i regularly leave my keys sitting on top of the protected screen actually.
the back plate of the note 10.1 is terribly soft though, I have lots of micro scratches on it and I've been taking pretty good care of it.

Lol Now that is one tough mudder
I have the anti-glare screenprotector.
It vworks fine with the Spen, accept that the pen actually scratches the protector.... I think I need somthing stronger.
I tried to see if WhiteShield has one, but only for the Tab. I sent them a request message for the Note.....we'll see.
What is anyone else using, and does your Spen scratch the protector?
Thanks

Try using the CLEAR spen nib you found in your Note 10.1 box on the screen protector. It should slide easier.
I only use screen protectors for wacom from strongengineering.com. Unless they have changed their formula the screen protectors always have a nice paper feel. I simply love it. You can feel and hear the resistance of the nib when the cover is brand new. After a time and a lot of cross hatching and drawing it smooths out a bit. This is my very personal preference. I can't stand smooth glass-like screen protectors for drawing.
My position on screen protectors is this:
With the quality and hardness of the plastic coatings on most decent Android devices in the last 3 years, a screen protector can only be a net *downgrade* in terms of scratch-resistance and screen quality.
Scratches (and often fingerprints) will show up more on a screen protector than on the bare screen because a screen protector is usually less hard than the screen itself. This will particularly be the case with a pen stylus (ie one with a fine tip, as opposed to a capacitive stylus) which won't scratch the bare screen (because it's hardened) but will over time create wear marks in a screen protector in "high traffic" parts of the screen.
Granted, having the screen protector means that once the scratches all over it get too much, you can just pull it off (and replace it). And that is indeed the point of a screen protector. But I'd rather not have dullness from scratch marks all over my screen protector to begin with. It's a bit like the people who have plastic covers on their couches so they don't get stained. It ruins the whole point of having a nice couch surface. Reminds me of the quote "life is not a dress rehearsal". You may as well benefit from your scratch-resistant hardened plastic screen now rather than cover it, saving it for a day in the future that never comes.
All that said, some screen protectors are better than others and there are probably decent ones around. And there's nothing wrong with having a protective cover on the *back* or edges of your device, since this isn't a crucial operative part of the device.
There's no possible way a screen protector can negatively affect the way the pen works, as it's based on an electromagnetic field. So maybe if it were a metallic screen protector it would be an issue. The "grippiness" of a screen protector could be a problem though. Some are grippy and some not. Grippy ones like Zagg will render the pen practically unusable.

I am asking because I noticed that the new screen is not as sensitive as previous ones (currently using it with factory film over front panel) and you do need to press harder, some finger gestures not working well.
On the other hand, this screen is supposed to be very durable due to new technology, so maybe no need to use screen protector at all ?
If you want scratch your screen while using your device, then you can just use your Diamond without the screen protection....

It depends also on the quality of your screen protection...
Is one needed? Well thats a matter of taste?
Is the included HTC one any good? Yes its excellent. Applies easily and is very clear... however it scratches very easily. This is no reflection on the actual screen of the Diamond itself, as it would take an awful lot more to scratch the actual screen.
the screen is excellent. much more responsive than on the other devices I've had, and yet I never used a screen protector on my universal or my athena. I wouldn't consider not using a screen protector as the diamond has been a bit of a scuff magnet, despite me keeping it in a leather case. I'm hoping backs for the device will be easy to come by!
you silly if you dont use a protector on this device imho
Of course without screen protector! I'm using touch screens 5 years now...SonyEricsson P800 era...till now none of my devices have been scratched!
Also the usability sucks big time with screen protectors!
If HTC really believed the Diamond can survive without a screen protector, why is one supplied inside the original package ?
Depends on your usage I suppose.
With my last 6-8 phones, I've never used any screen protection or even case and none of them got any scractch.
I always put my phone in my shirt/pants pocket, never in the same pocket with keys or coins.
With the Diamond, I only put the screen protecter only because HTC provided it. If they didn't give me one, I wouldn't even bother buying one. (Yes, still no scratch with my original HTC protector as well)
agree with techdave I have had 5 phones and I try to immediately cover it with screen protector, one time I waited for abit and end up have a scuff mark from something. As the saying goes 'sh*t happens' so why risk damaging your phone especially a beautiful one. I actually ordered one for the back too now, I really dont see it affecting the screen as some people say but they prob got some thicker cheap ones that prob will affect it.
I think of it this way, when I come to sell the phone all i have to do is remove the protectors and it will be good as new!
oh and I sold 4 of them with no complains of wear or tear!
It truly depends what kind of person you are. If your the kind that doesn't care about there Diamond and throws it everywhere then you need a protector. But if your the neat kind that his heart rips out when you see a scratch your probably are not going to need a protector,its really up to you
I really need it with my diamond.
never needed it with my touch
but this screen scratches soooo fasstt..
it looks better without,
but this is better then with scratches
The factory shipped screen protector for the Diamond is EXCELLENT. I hated these before and on all my other models I have not used them or removed them after a day. The diamond on is different - you just do not notice it is there. Therefore, my advice - use it!
Anyone fine the supplied HTC protector scratches the screen real easily?
Ive had my diamond for no more than 2 weeks and I have 3 fine scratches already. At £9.99 a pair for thes protectors, it isnt cheap.
the oem diamond screen protector does scratch easily...(the actual protector not the phone) once ive had my use out of the oem protector im going to use a martin fields protector as i hear they are the best.
Just stuck the screen protector on and I have the say it is really good. I managed to get it on perfect no bubbles at all. A few of my friends didn't even notice the screen protector was on. so far so good no scratches yet only had it on for 1 day.

I dispositioned a corner by 1mm on side, that resulted in a nasty unglued stripe there about 2-3 mm wide ... now looking for something really sharp to cut that mm off
It seems that many people believe that the diamond screen is more immune toward scratches, because it is protected by tempered glass.
The truth is that on top of the tempered glass, there is the touch surface, which is much less resistant to scratches than tempered glass (so it's touch surface => tempered glass = > lcd screen).
actually, the touch surface is below the plexiglas. that's why you have to press so hard. it's a resisitve touch surface, so you can see that it only interacts if you actually press the plexiglas so hard that it bends.
plexiglas can be very hard, but because the touch surface is resistive, they had to use soft plexiglas which is not scratch resistant at all.
anyway, I had a screen protector on my diamond and yesterday it somehow fell off the table. And a SCRATCH aaargghh! wait! it's only on the screen protector!
So I'd say you definitely need one.
Does the Surface RT need a screen protector from getting scratches?
Normally I would imagine so, I mean my cell phones will all have screen protectors on them. but I heard that the surface doesn't need it?
How many of you do or don't have a screen protector on yours?
Also the privacy screen protector from the Microsoft store, does it hurt the viewing quality?

I bought one from amazon 3 wks ago. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Inv...6881&sr=8-3&keywords=surface+screen+protector
It came in 3 pks and im actually surprised at how nice n easy it was to apply. Quite thin and almost as if its not there.
I really don't understand this continued obsession with screen protectors. Fine back in the day of plastic screens, and resistive touch screens, but capacitive screens tend to be hardened glass.
Hardened glass is, unsurprisingly, pretty hard. And hardness is the key to whether things scratch. I often take my bunch of keys or a kitchen knife to my phone/tablet screen to prove this to people - not a single scratch.
I struggle to see any benefit in covering a screen with something easier to scratch than the screen!
Also, I believe that Surface screen is gorilla glass, and I think it's the newer type too. So I'd say, unless there's another benefit (fingerprint reduction, privacy filter etc) then don't bother with a screen protector - on and of your glass screen devices.
I didn't get one for mine. I find the touch cover is the only case/protector I need.
Tablets using Gorilla glass do not need screen protectors. That's my opinion.

I have kids, I use screen protectors. On my phones I use them in case I forget and put it in with my keys. I've scratched more than one screen that way.
The Surface can survive flying off the roof of a car on the freeway and then getting run over with only cosmetic damage (and the screen was basically untouched). Your kids are unlikely to mess it up *that* much.
I have some ordered, I prefer a matte screen. The Surface has the least reflective screen out of all my devices but it's not enough for me.
It feels weird for me to not have a protector on it so one will be put on. I have them on all my other devices (matte) and nobody in the house has any issues with it. They rather prefer it.
I think that I will get a screen protector. The keyboard protects the screen when not in use...but when you have the keyboard flipped back it could potentially pick up debris from whichever surface you put it on. Then, when u close the keyboard cover, the debris stuck between the screen and the keyboard cover could scratch the screen. Although it is gorilla glass and chances are low that you will get something that will scratch it..it is still possible to scratch it. Anything is possible, right? Lol.. It's much easier to install a screen protector now then to take care of a scratch later.. few $$ on eBay now will save a possible future headache. I honestly don't mind them as much as other people.
My 2 cents

I got a protector both because I'm paranoid about scratches over the long term, and because the kind i have reduces glare and fingerprint visibility.

I have never seen the Gorilla glass work as expected. No matter if its an Ipod touch, Android phone, or Surface, the glass will get scratched without a protector on it. I wish it were not the case and I would love to be proven wrong, but in the rela world it doesn't work.
Really? I've never seen scratches on a Gorilla Glass 2 screen. You can shatter the screen, especially with a side impact (although the very tough casing of the Surface makes that highly unlikely to ever be a problem) but scratch it? Hardly.
I've had a few Touchpads for over a year now and I cant seem to scratch them even if I tried. However, my Surface RT obtained a scratch within a week. It is slight and on the non-viewing area, so I chose to keep it. But I'd opt for a screen protector.
I've been using the Surface for two months now. I baby my electronics, and haven't had a scratch yet. I've scratched numerous iPod Touches in the past, though.

Edit:
I use a company called skinomi.com for screen protectors. Found them in the Evo or Dinc forums here a couple of years ago. Use the code get25 for a discount at checkout. They have always arrived within 2 days in Nashville, TN.
Where can I find a good quality matte screen protector?

My Surface RT has been thrown a good few metres onto concrete when my mate's (BIG) dog decided he wanted to play. Apart from one corner of the casing a bit scratched up it's fine - not a mark on the screen.

What happens if you don't have a Touch/Type Cover
Sent from my Nexus 5 with Key Lime Orange Mango Beef Tuna Pie
I'm paranoid and always use screen protectors on my phones. But after failing to get perfect results trying a couple screen protectors on the Surface (Pro), I just left the screen naked. I'm pretty careful w/ the screen and I don't let my kids near it.
They said it would not cover the whole screen but I didn't think it would be this extreme. Looking straight down on the device you'd see pixels outside of the screen protector on both sides.
Riffue.cn
This one is wider and covers all the pixels, but since it does not follow the screen curve there's about 1.5mm of free hanging protector on each side.
Panzer.me
For this one they tried to curve it along the screen edge, but it didn't quite fit, which caused large areas where the protector would lift from the screen. The downwards facing edge of the protector seems to be covered in the glue like substance, the central area of the protector did not stick to the phone in any way. Possibly because of the bad fit there would be some air between the protector and phone in the middle of the screen, this caused some missed taps. Away of the center of the protector the touch recognition would be better. This one seemed the least susceptible to fingerprints.
Thank you for the testing.
So I will not buy one of these.
Maybe I will try a thin l foil or I will use it without any protection.
thanks to who invented these fu*king curved screens.. for us that always use glass protectors it is simply a nightmare.. or you use protectors as big as the pixeled area and live with the edges coming off, or you take protectors smaller than the pixeled area that looks bad and don't protect all the screen.. damn
curious to know if this curved glass would be any better?
https://www.roxfit.mobi/collections...ed-clear-tempered-glass?variant=2219880841228
I am on the road so I cant post any pics, but I have the roxfit curved protector. It does match the screen except the curve isn't perfect thus the very edge around the entire screen is collecting dust. With the screen sensitivity issue however I'm debating on pulling it off. Hitting the same button 2-3 times to get something to register sucks
To be honest, this is what is putting me off buying this phone is the curved screen, i really dont see the point of it to be honest, tempted to jusct pick up the XZ1 compact instead.
You really can't even tell the screen is curved at all. Just the edges are slightly. It's not even noticeable.
yeah if the curved screen is the only thing preventing you from getting this phone, forget it, apart from this (and you'll notice just if you use glass protectors) the phone is simply wonderful in all other aspects l

Thanks both, best go and check it out in person, perhaps judging it before i have seen it in my hand is a bit negative.

Bugs of a new phone. The protector I got also overhanged into the curve. (I was under the impression that it was a curved screen protector when buying it, but it was not.) I assume these companies didn't have exact specs or physical phones to get it perfect with, and since we all want our phones protected from day one, they have to release what they got. :/
Has anyone found a screen protector that fits halfway decently yet?
i used a liquid screen protector called nanofixit in the netherlands. it makes the screen super smooth and didn't have a scratch after a week usage without any case. i had to send it back for repair and will have it back tomorrow.

I've tried this one as well and might have a worse fit than what you're experiencing. It was impossible to get a complete seal in the glue around the edge. The bad fit made the center of the screen an especially bad place the get touches registered, even worse then the panzer.me glass. IIRC there was also a shimmering issue between the edge of the LCD and whatever non-stick film they've put under the protector.
Does curved screen protectors exist for other phones that does not rely on a glue around the edges to stay put?

Did you get your phone back? What was the issue? Do you usually get scratches on phones in a weeks time?
I'm asking because fail to see how a thin layer of liquid could provide any scratch resistance, besides whatever the screen already has. And as such it might just make liquid slide off the screen easily for a while and not much else.
It is my belief the nano liquid products are a scam. Granted I've never tried it myself.....but I don't see how it could possibly work.

it was my misstake for not being clearer when posting my message, I have another problem with the phone which is not related to the screen at all. My phone can't receive incoming calls for some reason. The screen is still in a tip top shape and i have also accidentally dropped the phone on a stone floor from around 0,5 meters. Nothing to see on the screen (or the phone for that matter). The reason that it can work in my opinion is that you can have very hard plastic nowadays that is not worse than metal (see carbon fiber for example). If they can keep it in a liuid state and it can harden itself out when in contact with air, why is it not possible? Chemistry is nowadays so advanced I wouldn't be surprised if they can make even better nano coatings, if you have enough money for it
Bought Skinomi's protector and it was a perfect fit. It is not a hard screen protector its more of a clear flexible skin. Due to it being flexible it molded right to the curved edges of the screen without any issues. Until they come up with a hard protector this should do just fine though, atleast itll keep minor scuffs and scratches to a minimum.
Ultimate Shield seems to do its job - at least for me. Uses glue to stick, but covers the whole screen. Makes a bit harder to register touch sometimes.
Just a comment on feel and use of the phone without the screen protector.
I couldn't stand the feel of my finger catching on the sharp edge of the supplied/installed screen protector but I love this phone so much I didn't want to risk scratching the screen.
Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and had to remove the protector....what a difference. The phone feels way more premium and the finger print coating seems very good. It does seem to be a bit sharper and bright as the protector is a film and not tempered glass. I have to admit that the Mate 20 X has one of the better supplied protectors but wow, what a difference without it.
So glad I removed it and to everyone else out there, who has removed the film and are still using the Mate 20 X without a protector?

I removed the protector when I bought my previous phone, a OnePlus 6, and the next day had scratches on the screen. After that I'll never go naked on the screen again. Am I the only one who hates tempered glass screen protectors?
I was nice for 10 minutes only. While putting on my tempered glass. I just can't go without, have to have a case too.
First thing i always do is to remove the screenprotoctor if applied. I don`t like the feel and never had a scratch on any phone so far.
I removed the screen protector from my P20 Pro and kept using it for months without any scratches. But on the Mate 20 X I removed the protector last week and now I have two big scratches. Maybe because the phone is larger so it is more prone for scratches.
I just gotten a mate 20 x, still with factory film, would like to ask, how does it actually affect the screen quality with and without it? Reason being I feel like there is visible "pixels" or fonts looking a bit jaggedly as compared on my other devices, I'm not sure if its due to the lower PPI (FHD on a 7.2 screen) or because of the factory film..
I compared it with a similar PPI device (8.4 inch 2k OLED display, 358ppi vs mate 20x 7.2 inch FHD 346ppi AMOLED) and the 8.4 inch device seems to look better and "higher quality" when looking at the fonts
First thing i always do when i have a new phone with screen protoctor is removing it and then install a good piece of Nilkin glass protection.
I never had a phone without this and without a flip cover to... And i never will.

Ok just removed my plastic protector, took a look at the screen without anything on then pasted on a nillkin glass.. it does look a tad clearer, but pixels are still somewhat visible, i guess its not the plastic or glass issue, it simply is due to the low PPI count, probably just not used it to (coming from the 6.6 inch honor note 8 with 443 ppi amoled), but overall its still a really good screen
But at least now it is protected by another physical piece of glass and is much smoother, can definitely say that nillkin glass and coating is good, fits and blends in well with the provided TPU case
I didn't dare to remove the stock protector yet.
But: did anybody have a chance to compare using the M-Pen on phone WITH and WITHOUT the original screen protector?
And how the M-PEN works if 3rd party tempered glass is used?

You mean even the M-Pen works fine with the PanzerGlass?
Is it able to detect all the 4096 levels of pressure? You don't have to press harder if you want to draw a thick line?
And one more question: I'm considering removal of the stock screen protector and leaving the display without any protection (because the phone is permanently in flip case). And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually?
I recently removed the stock screen protector and wow what a difference the screen is silky smooth and feels much better.
I did try to apply a glass protector but both times came out wrong with bubbles in the center so I have decided to go naked with the original kickstand case

"And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually" this i dont have any experience with. But saw in here some days ago a guy telling about this and when he hold the phone in a special angle he could see some small scratches on the display.
The pen is more hard in the end vs the Sammy pen what i remember.

I removed the protector when I bought my previous phone, a OnePlus 6, and the next day had scratches on the screen. After that I'll never go naked on the screen again. Am I the only one who hates tempered glass screen protectors?

Nope. I hate them too. Crappier glass on top of better glass. Lol

I personally use Clearcoat from Mobile Outfitters, front and back No Case. They have all kinds of film and skins for every phone.

Just a comment on feel and use of the phone without the screen protector.
I couldn't stand the feel of my finger catching on the sharp edge of the supplied/installed screen protector but I love this phone so much I didn't want to risk scratching the screen.
Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and had to remove the protector....what a difference. The phone feels way more premium and the finger print coating seems very good. It does seem to be a bit sharper and bright as the protector is a film and not tempered glass. I have to admit that the Mate 20 X has one of the better supplied protectors but wow, what a difference without it.
So glad I removed it and to everyone else out there, who has removed the film and are still using the Mate 20 X without a protector?

I agree. What a difference.
I used to remove the pre-installed screen protectors on my previous phones, but I too, was a bit scared of ruining this massive 7.2" screen when I first got it.
This is bigger than the previous phones, and this was certainly more expensive than the previous phones.
If you are careful with your phones, I would say you should be fine from all these unwanted scratches.
Some people are so careless, they even put their keys in the same pocket as their phones, and they complain about their phones getting damaged.
For the person saying the M-pen is scratch your screen protector, please remember that this pre-installed screen protector is still only plastic. the tip of the M-Pen is plastic. it IS going to scratch.
Lastly, the number one thing ANY of these screen protectors CANNOT beat, whether it be a film, or tempered glass screen protector, is the oleophobic coating these phones now come with. It was great a few years back, it is even better today.
Minimal fingerprints, and the fingertip gliding feel is unmatched.
I think people should keep some sort of screen protector - either the pre-installed film which IMHO is very good, or a 3rd party film or a tempered glass. Most tempered glass products nowadays are very good and protect the actual screen from scratches. And feels premium too. My AmazingThing tempered glass - so called Supreme Glass, feels nice finger glides smoothly and feel cool to touch too.
I'm sure many boast that they never had scratches after long time of use, but I am sure the scratch marks WILL be there when looked carefully.
Protecting an expensive device is a logical decision.
But sure, to each their own.
Had my factory protector on for the first 4 months or so, then removed it, and it has been 2 months without any screen protector.
The screen feels and looks better.
On hindsight I might have removed it on day 1.
The problem remains that the touch sensing is just laggy, jerky, and glitchy. No difference with or without protector.
Do scrolling tests beside an iPhone to see the difference.
Hello everyone, just got myself a S7 Tab FE and was looking around for cases. Has anyone found a nice case as well as screen protection?
Something with a screen this size im guessing it's important to keep it in a very nice sturdy shock proof case.
The problem with device is the thinness and large size. Even with a good case a drop may break the display... try to avoid doing it. Perhaps tethering the case may help.
As for screen protectors I use these on my N10+'s. The are an easy wet apply and last an average of 6 months. Even the spen doesn't bugger them up; they are self healing to a certain extent. Exhibit almost no yellowing over their lifespan.

Yes it feels awkwardly large and thin. Might try the S7 keyboard. Not sure how well it would function as a case tho.
I might check this screen protector out however on my N20 I prefer the glass screen protector rather then the film ones

Another member had a case and tempered glass protector on their's and broke the display recently.
The IQ Sheild will protect it from marring and scratches. Temper glass protector or not I would assume any sizable impact is likely to break the display.
Think about where you are and what you're doing when handling it... you know how it goes.
Lol, put away getting drunk
I bought the Tab S7 plus book cover it fits well with magnets
with a tempered glass screen protector they are here since I bought the device 3 months ago and they are fine
I put my tablet in my backpack so it's not a big deal
original book cover or keyboard cover are nice. But expensive and do not offer any more protection then some generic 15$ ones. I have one of those generic ones for home use because I need kickstand feature. Also have a spigen rugged armor, which I use while working on the filed. That one also has a sand feature but the case as such is pretty stiff so it needs more attention to use it that way. Not really cheap but certainly gives more protection then the original ones for less money.
And for screen, I don''t use any screen protectors, glass is scratch resistant enough for a while now and with screens huge as this or devices thin like this nothing really helps against cracking it. Need to be careful, that is the only thing that will help.
I went with a Poetic rubber-ish case and SuperShieldz tempered glass screen protector. The case is nice. Fits well with the screen protector, and even redirects the speakers toward your face which is awesome for watching movies or gaming.
