Screen protector - oil resistant and no scratch due to stylus usage - which one?

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.

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!

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.

I've never spent more than 20 on a case and this one is 45 on amazon or 39 through the Web site so just wanted to get some opinions before I bought it ...thanks

I have the shop-leather case without the clasp. The leather is nice, like a very good wallet, but not super fine. Really what I was looking for as far as leather.
On the other hand, I really don't like the TPU phone holder attached to it. I couldn't easily get my phone in and out (a requirement for me). When I can, I'll probably try to replace it (glued) with a Ringke SLIM I have.
I won't use the lanyard, so the holes are useless for me, but not much negative. For now, I'm just using the phone without a cover, but carried in a pouch.

I would love a case like this one for the iPhone 6. http://www.mujjo.com/the-sleeves-collection/leather-wallet-case-for-iphone-6-black
Anyone ever see anything like it for the Note 4? I haven't turned up anything.

Nexus 6P cases and covers list

Going to have my N6P shortly and plans to have a nice case to have it get protected,however,most are now focusing on iPhone and Galaxy Mobile covers and get few choice from SGP and Amazon, so here please share your case founding and have fun.

I ordered this generic TPU case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GBA8AE?redirect=true&ref_=ya_st_dp_summary
It says it has shipped already.

I ordered the same but the clear option.

I ordered the MoKo case this afternoon, and it already shipped. Should be here Thursday. Just a placeholder until some nicer cases like Spigen come out.

Ultra Protective Case
I'll be waiting for the second batch of the device, because I want to see reviews, and to avoid any possible quality control issues that might initially exist. With this in mind, I obviously want to protect my investment, what with being a student on a budget. As such, I want to really protect my screen. In fact, just last week I shelled out an unplanned $120 to replace the screen on my S3 i9300, which fell face down in its ZeroLemon battery case. The screen wasn't cracked, but it was damaged in terms of the pixels. It started out with a purple spot, and got progressively worse overnight, to where it was totally black, and unusable. Does anyone know if a Ballistic, Trident, or UAG case will be made available for the 6P? Are there any other ideas as to the type of case I'm looking for, besides those I mentioned?
Thanks!

I sent an email to the manufacture today, I didn't yet get a response. One other buyer on Amazon (via a review) reported he got contacted back by the manufacture, and he pasted an email from them stating the photo is only a prototype. It makes sense as the case won't mail out for a full month. The month delay is OK with me because my phone won't be here before then.

I ordered a clear one that needs the opening trimmed (or sent back). I kind of like this one with red accents, looks like the opening is wide enough.

Just FYI. It looks like Verus has updated the render on their Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GHQGM2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.
So glad I picked this up for $2 a few days ago.

Got my clear case today: http://www.amazon.com/LK-Scratch-Re...443751243&sr=8-4&keywords=Nexus+6p+clear+case
Looks easy to make a template to cut an opening wide enough. It's crystal clear, may not effect IR anyway.
Edit: Manufactures just sent email. Said to toss what they shipped and will send replacement that doesn't block the laser focus in 2 weeks (before the 6P arrives).

Case with a kick stand?

After using a case mate naked tough case on my nexus 6 I was looking at getting a case with a kick stand for media consumption and so far not seen any for the 6p.

One case I had for the Nexus 6 which had a kickstand but was also slim was the Seidio Surface case. http://www.seidioonline.com/motorola-nexus-6-surface-kickstand-case-garnet-red-p/csr3mtn6k-gr.htm You might want to contact them and see if they plan on making a N6P case.

I have found that many of these are preproduction images, so I wouldn't rely on the current pictures to show me anything more than a rough idea of what the final product will generally look like. Several product images have already changed on Amazon's site.
Wait until the middle / end of October for all the companies to get the products finalized. This forum already has several threads with replies from manufacturers saying designs aren't final. They are just trying to ensure they get their piece of the pie on early and preorder case dollars when they list products this early on Amazon.

Doesn't it make it wobble when flat? Looked cool initially but I think it's a bit weird to carry 24/7 on such a nice phone. And I doubt it last forever if constantly removing it.
Thanks anyway though

I haven't received it yet, but I know that I will be using it as a kickstand, so what's the relevance of "lying flat"? It looks like if you stick it above center, but still out of the way of the Imprint sensor, it should sit on a table/desk at a very convenient angle in either orientation...

I just sometimes lay it flat and don't always use a kickstand. I enjoy it when I need it but not all the time.
I'd prefer a thin case that has a kickstand if and when needed.... But each use phone differently

I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

Interesting case, but how much is it? I can't see the price but if its 30 quid then I wouldn't get it!
Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Thanks, I didn't catch that and thought it was a TPU case. I am deciding between this one as it looks thin or a Dbrand Skin instead. I want to get the phone in hand, feel how slippery and/or fragile it feels first. The more naked the better if the phone can take a "whoops"

if only these cases would be freely distributed to first buyers... haha, just like Coby phone.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.

The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.

Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.

Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.

Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.
