I recently purchased the MiniGuard Screen Protector (HD Clear) and thought I'd share my experience with it so far. All I can say is two thumbs up. This screen protector does NOT hamper the writing at all!! It does add a bit of resistance which is expected but I found that the added resistance actually helps because it makes writing on the Note 8.0 feel more like paper and more natural.
Furthermore, the cutouts are great, very rarely do I see screen protectors have such great cutouts (even around the button). Next to the writing, I drew several lines to show that the resistance of the S-Pen remains intact (note the fading and the thickening of the stroke). Check out the pics below, I definitely recommend this screen protector.
It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXQUQ9U/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pros
-Great cutouts
-Does not hamper S-Pen
-Added resistance actually helps
-Super clear
-Smudges noticeably reduced than screen without the protector
-Easily applied, no bubbles at all
Cons
-None that I can see
10/10!
Finally..yes I buy a lot of accessories for my electronics because I like to have them looking pristine and new even after a long period of use- expect more reviews haha
Thanks for a review. Good to know that S-pen still works brilliantly.
Now I have to find a similar Protector in my country, hope its as good as this!

If you find some in india please report here.
Also are there any Case available in India for Note 8?
It's slightly cheaper at Newegg, but the review there says the screen protector gets scratched up by the s pen (for the clear). But there are three in the package, so I'm going to try the anti glare ones.

I wonder about the differences in writing styles, particularly regarding how much pressure (or not) a given person applies while writing? If one writes with a "heavy hand" that would be more likely to "dig in" to the screen protector.
@JokeZony0u: How would you describe your writing style? Do you "bear down hard" when you write, or otherwise put a lot of pressure on the pen, or do you think you write more moderately?

Let us all know how your experience with the anti glare ones goes. I tend to like anti glare screen protectors, so long as they don't dampen the visual image under normal conditions (ie, make it too hazy).
Hey appreciate your support for the reviews!
Typically I write softly and don't apply that much pressure. So far I haven't had any scratches from writing on it, and I have been writing very often for notes in class and work
And like kisrita said, there's 3 in the package. So if one scratches, just switch it out. Also it isn't so bad to scratch a screen protector, that's what it's there for!

Cool, good to know.
Nice review!
I've had this protector as well for ~2 weeks now, and without going into too much detail, it could be the best protector I've ever used on any device.
Easy install, great spen/screen response, clarity, etc... Not to mention you can't beat the price.
I've taken a good deal of notes and have not seen any scratches yet.
Anyone found any ebay links for us non-US folk? I havent yet. Is the film sold under another brand name at all does anyone know? :b

Well the brand is really called the MiniGuard or at least it's printed on the box. I can contact the seller and see if they're willing to ship international.

Do you only use it with the supplied spen or do you use other stylus' as well? If the later do you prefer a plastic nib or rubber? I've heard of issues when using a rubber tip with a screen protector as it can leave marks...
Thanks for the review. It's on my shopping list now anyway (although like another poster, I am from the UK and a quick google shopping search came up with no results but its $9.95 shipping cost from their site).
I love the review the protector is pricey but I guess it has really a great quality :good:

How has your experience with the anti glare version been? How is visibility (eg, does the anti glare make the display more dim, less vibrant, etc.)? How well is the S-Pen working with the protector?

Sorry, I still haven't gotten around to installing it. I hope I find some time in the next couple of weeks and will report back then, but I have so many parallel projects going it may have to wait. (I have 4 devices with 3 different types of protectors and a dusty house that is forever in the middle of home improvement so I've been putting it off till I can find enough time to do all of it properly.)

That's very understandable. Thanks for letting me know! I'm going back and forth about whether to get a screen protector or not, but if I do anti-glare is something I'm considering (particularly for outdoor use).
I ordered this same screen protector and received it yesterday. So far I am really liking it. It gives enough anti-glare to be useful rather than annoying, colors are still very vibrant and the very slight bit of resistance it gives to the s-pen is very welcome. Iwould say it is like writing with a very smooth ballpoint pen on glossy paper. It has made my handwriting better and therefor fewer mistakes that need to be corrected. Highly recomended!

Hey, just to clarify: Did you get the Anti Glare one or the HD Clear one? I would assume Anti Glare since you mention that, but I'd just like to be sure. There are a lot more reviews for the HD Clear type and some of the few reviews for the Anti Glare are not so positive (eg, one reviewer complained of the S-Pen leaving scratches in the screen protector). I think I'd prefer Anti Glare though. Thanks!

This is very cool. It's a glass that eliminates glare.

We need this on our phones. Probably 5-6 years till it is the industry standard.
Although, at the moment, I'm sure there's a catch to it.
This is great news...screen glare is the biggest issue I have with phones. Even more so than battery life.

I hope not. From the way it sounded, it may well be a film to apply over the glass. But how you would apply it to the underside...it's likely a factory applied item. Had it been a single-sided application, they could sell it as a film for purchase separately.
hope its strong as Gorilla Glass..
Woah, it's a very interesting thing! I hope to see it on phones in short time!
Hope it's tough as well, and scratch resistant; anti-glare is not such an unbearable issue in the colder countries!
Looks interesting, but do you guys really have a problem with reflections? I only notice it when my screen's off.
Sounds like great technology. Not just for phones either- most types of electronic displays would benefit from this. You can still get glare even when you are indoors, depending on where the windows are.
Really cool!

Not really that important, you can find on e-bay an anti-glare screen protractor (Actually they get scratched easily, you need to buy anther transparent screen protector to protect it? lol)
Cool! it makes viewing a display more pleasant, reduces eyestrain, and sharpens the picture..
less glare can only be a good thing IMO.
maybe we'll see this combined with the new "lotus glass" that Corning is working on.
cant post the link, sorry D:

I can't see why you can't do DIY way, open your phone, attach the anti-glare film under your Gorilla glass. Now, enjoy it (without any side-effects).

Placing it behind the glass may not give the desired results, and will probably still reduce sensitivity (depending on your phone).

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?
Just made a review of the ScreenMate Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Galaxy S4 by iloome.
Close up pictures:
You will get dust/lint around the home button and the home button sticker that's included doesn't help cover it up.
I have been using this for about 2 weeks and I am blown away of how well this screen protector preforms! 100% absolutely bubble free, very scratch resistant, super easy to apply, and looks like a product that could last forever.
Hope you enjoy the product review and helps your decision if you want to get the product, enjoy! :laugh::good:

I just got it as well.
The only thing I'm surprised about is that, contrary to several threads here, it does NOT have Rounded edges. It's very straight cut and feels like it's scraping ur skin.
Very disappointed seeing as how most others have it but oh well.

Nope, the response hasn't decreased at all from the senors or the screen.
I also have this screen protector. It is absolutely wonderful! Has anyone tested it against ghost glass or some other glass variant? I also notice a bit of a decrease in performance from the proximity sensor when removing the phone from my face after a long phone call.
I ordered this product on Sunday from Amazon. It's arrival today was heralded by a loud thump on my doorstep as the delivery person essentially slammed the Amazon box (which contained the ScreenMate and a Obliq Case) down and ran off. Needless to say, I was not surprised to discover on opening the screenmate box that the glass had been cracked.
I will be ordering another as soon as Amazon processes my refund, as I believe that the fault was in the handling by the delivery person. I do think that iLoome could probably do a little bit better with their packaging, however, again, I believe that the fault truly lies with the Prestige courier that Amazon used to ship my product to me.
I will update after I get the replacement ordered and it arrives.
Just got my iloome glass screen and its amazing feels like nothing there but I got a hair under my screen. Thats my bad but its nice and all the gestures is working for me. Very well pleased

Great review,
I purchased this product after watching your review on youtube.
I got a cheap one from ebay - seems to work just as well!
I have read through tons of the threads regarding the screen protector for the Note 8.0, and I haven't found one yet that meets what I want:
1). Oil resistant: the naked screen is REALLY good is resisting oil from my hands.
2). Won't scratch due to stylus use: I bought the Note for the Stylus and I use it extensively. Some screen protector I read got scratched with the stylus.
So if you have a screen protector, can you tell me your experiences?
This is what I learnt so far:
No plan to make one for Note 8.0
SGP Steinhell
XGear
Have bad oil resistant capability
iSmooth: more oil accumulate on the screen?
No review found
Amzer Shatterproof (link): no info so far...
Green Onion Oleophobix (link): No info so far...

I did and loved to get one, but I am somewhat wary on using AliExpress, after seeing tons of issues customer having with them (Google it). I may get lucky and had no problem, but I had similar experiences with online retailer and won't go through it again.
But thanks for the links. Now back to our regularly scheduled channel..

Could try this one:

I don't have one so no experience to speak of but it's not from aliexpress and it's cheaper.

I just emailed the seller about Oleophobic coating. Waiting..
Fyi,I just bought the Green Onion knee, since it claim it had the olephobic coating.
It's only $8, so I have it a shot. Will report back soon.

Know what you mean. I shy away from buying directly from China whenever possible mainly due to the incredibly slow delivery times. I took a chance on this and while I've not gotten it yet the communication from the seller has been pretty good! I inquired why the tracking wasn't showing and he investigated and replied twice in 24 hours. (Granted I "did mention" I was awaiting the item for an XDA review....)
Using a credit card usually protects one but the long delivery wait can be extremely annoying.
I had never ordered from them before and as it says in my thread, I was slightly concerned, but it came quicker than stated and is a really good product, no problems with the seller or the protector at all.

I have the TechArmor anti-fingerprint anti glare protector and it's great! Doesn't pick up oils, stylus works (and I like that it has a very slight texture to it giving a little feedback) and the anti-glare world's great! I have never been unhappy with Tech Armor... used it on 5 or 6 devices now. ..

Not sure if you ever got your answer from them but it does list Oleo phobic coating in the item description
Tempered Glass provides your device with the best surface protection without sacrificing the responsiveness of touchscreen. Despite its slim 0.4 mm glass base thickness, this transparent tempered glass is nearly impossible to scratch or penetrate thanks to its rating of 8-9H hardness, while its oleophobic coating offers resistance against smudges and fingerprints.

Do you have a link for that price? I can only find much more expensive options

I bought from Amazon just 2 days ago for $8. But now I went back and it's $19.99?!
When I bought it, it was sold by Amazon, not some 3rd party seller.

You must have got very lucky then. I checked the same day you made the post and it was listed at $18 and change. I'll be keeping an eye out for it though. The skinomi I have is pretty terrible and needs to be replaced.

I think it was a price mistake from Amazon. I also thought it was a fake one sold by a reseller, so I checked the "My Order" page in Amazon and it shows $8 and "Sold by Amazon".
I'll update when I received the item today.
I got the Green Onion Oleophobic screen today (the $8 one) and I can tell you it is a GREAT screen protector.
It's quite easy to install and it comes with a LARGE dust cleaner screen to help with the installation. Aligning this big screen protector is a b*tch though. I still got a small bubble on the right side, but it's not evident since my Note 8.0 is white.
The screen protector feel very solid and smooth. It has the coating, as you can feel it when you run your finger on it. I like it more because writing with my stylus feel better and not too smooth, just enough for me.
I highly recommend this, though you may want to wait for the price to come down to $8.
UPDATE: This thing is a dust magnet!
Just stumbled upon this on eBay from a US Seller. Quite probably would have sprung for this instead of playing the waiting game to receive virtually the same product from mainland China. It's also listed about 8 bucks cheaper.
A real viable alternative IMHO.
Anyone noticed that the Note 8 comes with a preinstalled screen protector?!
I just noticed when I was peeling off all the tiny protection plastics like on the home button and camera lens that there was also something on the screen just to find out it was a screen protector
Nice!

Previously in this thread...
So has anyone used on of these TechPro protectors yet? I'm about to pull the trigger, but I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with them first.
I just put one on mine today. I like the way it fits almost edge to edge also come with Home button extension in several colors. I still get finger prints but I don't think it was as bad as before. Got mine from Amazon. No problems with the S-Pen and it's clear as glass I see no reason at this point to tell you not to pull the trigger.

Three posts up. Links to same product from both eBay and Amazon. :good:
http://youtu.be/q-0m4BBLVs8
I bought one for $9 but noticed that the seller on ebay has reduced the price to $5.87.
I'm not sure if it's fake, but I suspect most of these are manufactured in the same place.
The screen protector came in a plain brown box with no dust cloth or alcohol wipe, but I didn't pay $39 and those extras aren't worth that much upcharge.
The printed instructions on the packaging say, "GLAStR" but I suspect it could be fake. In any case, it works just as well as the real one and for $6-$9 I can replace it at any time and not be worried about the cost.
cool... easy install... link??? (i couldn't find it)

look for tempered glass screen protector and sort by price going from lowest to highest. It should be a US based seller in San Francisco.

Sorry, I didn't post that part because I like to keep my videos short and to the point.
But to answer your concerns, it feels just like a regular screen without screen protectors.
That's the benefit of glass and the clarity is unmatched.
I hate sticky screen protectors like skinomi and xtreme guard and don't like the tackiness on those types.
Dry install ones like Spigen are what I usually used, but even those eventually start to show scratches and dont have complete clarity.
