Which is the best screen protector for the note 4?
I dont want to lose this great feeling when touching/sliding the screen.
Maybe a tempered glass? But will it fit with a case?

I bought a tempered glass from a local retailer fits in the case .
The only con is that when sliding your finger on the screen its like something stopping u..it has a little bit of friction i think

really good actually, i find that my screen looks very vribrant and shiny without mutch notice of prints or dust. I also have the tech21 tactical case, great combo, very thin, easy to take on and off, the tech21 sits very well at the edges of the glass (no wierd halo effect like cheap screen protectors) - i work at tmobile and had the option to try out out several different screen protectors and the tech21 beats the rest by a pretty wide margin. ive never heard of the brand before but damn do they do a good job.
Additional note! the screen remains incredibly clear and HD through the screen protector, virtually no diminishing of the original screen quality and oddly enough (i cant get my brain past it) it appears the screen actually looks better with this screen protector, i have no clue why, but i spend A LOT of time around this phone and other peoples note 4's and its a pretty noticeable difference
My best guess is that this screen protector succesfully protrudes the surface of the screen to give it a flatter more 2D feel with a possibly magnification? either way it looks amazing and feels great to the touch and the stylus flows extremely consistently over the entire surface of the protector.
Looks like a great find ccheww...! Will buy one Monday...

No prob, its pretty dusty, this is a few months of use so i wanted to leave it dirty to give you guys an idea of what it looks like after a few months.
notice that the note 4 itself collects more dust than the edges of the screen protector, also note how insanely perfectly shiny the protector is after a few months of use and being tossed around in my pocket with keys and headphones and dimes and nickles and lighters and jeans.
the bezel around my note 4 is more scratched than the screen itself... and its been in a case since day one.
I apologize for the poor image quality, taken with a note 10.1 2014 edition and pretty hard to hold upright like a camera

How does it feel? Does it feel similar to the Note 4 screen? Is it smooth and your finger glides easily? Does it have oleophobic coating?

yes, it has a very smooth feeling, the s pen works great on it and quiet frankly i think it allows your finger to slide better than the original screen underneath. the reflowing polymer is almost feels like your finger oil is already on the screen and glides like a slice a butter on a frying pan.
as you can see in the pics below the case has a very thin front wrap so the screen still has the comfortable protruding feeling that everyone wants (ie the note and iphone with 2.5D glass)
T-Mobile has the case for 34.99 (same price directly from tech21) and 34.99 for the screen protector. Together with T-Mobile these can be put on your bill for an unnoticeable amount.
its 70 for both, tax is like 6.50 and its then only 3 more dollars a month to your bill, less than tax haha.
1 year warranty offered through courtesy of Tech21. have not seen a single person come back and complain about it. literally.
There was a post with pictures on the early pages of this thread (sorry, don't have time to locate it) from a forum member (IIRC name was Pedro....) who had installed the Tech 21 screen protector & was using a Tech 21 case. The protector had installed w/o a halo. IIRC he had purchased both at a T-Mo store & at the time the protector was not available yet on Tech 21's website. Between the price and the fact it was not 9h tempered glass the following posts by other forum members pretty much dismissed the Tech 21 as a viable choice. Obviously it's a very viable choice. Pedro.... stopped contributing to this thread & my take on that is he had found a completely satisfactory solution that others dismissed & no longer found a reason to follow this thread.
Some 250 pages later on this thread apparently none of us should have dismissed the Tech 21 as a viable choice.

Yup, I tried Zagg just because I got their headphones for $10 if I bought the shield. I took it off after a week, the orange peel affect is horrific. I also noticed it was a lot thinner than Ghost Armor, not sure if that's matters in normal situations though.. lol

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.
krusell
I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.
Just wondering if you use one or not on the GS3. My first GS3 didn't have one on it, and it magically gained 3 large scratches in the screen (always was left in a pocket alone, nothing else). I had one on my 2nd GS3, but I am now on my 3rd (2nd one had dead pixels) and wondering if I should just rough it out without one, or get one again.
Also if you got one, where from, and how do you like it?
Thanks
I got one from my bro so i dont know what brand it is. But i can tell you it came in a pack of like 3 and it sucks. Rainbow affect ruins the screens potential. Look like its kinda snowy and the feel isnt nice

Screen protectors are more trouble than their worth in almost all cases. If you manage to get it on without putting absolutely hideous bubbles on the screen, then you'll be left with something that just makes the screen "rainbowy" and terrible looking. Second skin doesn't do this but then it makes the screen rubbery and grippy feeling, not smooth like it should be. Protectors also seem to enhance fingerprints making them highly visible. Scratches? I wouldn't worry too much about that with gorilla glass 2 - http://youtu.be/wT8xI4PEU8c

I've used the SGP Ultra Nanos and don't like them. Within a month quite a lot had peeled away from the phone. I think this is going to be an issue with all thin film protectors that the industry seems to prefer with this model (slightly curved display surface).
I purchased an XGear Spectre and really like it. It's a tempered glass surface. Very easy to mount and hasn't peeled or scratched despite subjecting it to the same rigors as my previous SGP Ultra Nano. Nor do I expect it to peel in the future because it's pretty think (0.4 mm) and rigid. Apparently it's think enough that it doesn't fit all cases (I don't use a case). The field of view is essentially unaffected and the glass has excellent optics. At $35 with shipping, it's definitely more of than investment than thin film protectors, but I consider it a good value given the advantages.
I got the ones from samsung at the verizion store when i got my phone (the first day they had them or second)
The dude put on the first one for me and still looks great barley tell its there and its custom fit to phone
Price tag is 14 bucks but he gave it to me and it did go on very nicely no bubbles or discoloring
I don't use one, I'm just careful not to put anything in the same pocket that could scratch it
Same I use the one from the Verizon store 12 bucks, it didn't effect the viewing, it's a dry install and almost no bubbles when done, and you get 3.

I put on 20 of the verizon ones everyday. Done correctly there are no bubbles, no lint and hold up well. Seeing all the hideous home jobs applications, the glossy texture of zags and the anti glare versions I can see why they get a bad rap.

also, you guys getting the grainy and rainbow effects, it's because you're using anti-glare protectors. they suck. the clear ones are better.

Just in case anybody wanted to know SGP now has a front and back protector and they are dry installs for those who prefer it that way. They're 13.99 which is the same price that you got for the single front protector that they initially started selling. They come in both ultra crystal and and ultra oleophobic.
Here are the links.

They are a dry install which means that once you start putting it down there isn't much room for error. They don't cover 100% of the screen either. They kind of miss out on the curved edges. They are much harder than the BSE and have little to no orange peel effect. They are defiantly flatter and thinner.
I'm sure there won't be any problems with any case because it doesn't go to the edge of the screen.

should work fine. I would say it's probably better than the wet installs. Only thing is some people might not like the front since it doesn't cover the entire glass due to the curves on the sides.

Depends what you like in a screen protector. It seems to me that there are 3 main types of screen protector: matte/anti-glare (smooth to the touch, less smudhes/finger prints) , clear/hard (ment to feel the closest to the original screen), and rubbery (usually wet application, sometimes has an "orange peel" effect). I personally prefer the rubbery texture under my fingers, and I always use Xtreme Guard. Theyre wet application, provide great protection and are far less expensive than Zagg (2 dollars on amazon vs 20 dollars). As far as dry application clear ones I actually really like the ones that come with Otter Box cases. And as far as anti glare I would definitely go with Spigen. Hope that helps

Installed one of these on my dad's Galaxy Note 2 and was incredibly impressed with the amount of shatter protection this provides to your screen. It was very easy to apply, and is actually glass. Watch some of the videos available on the site. Only available for a very finite list of devices (S4 included), I ordered one last week on back order and am expecting it to arrive on Friday.

Any advice?
spigen imo... for summer outside get an anti-glare screen protector.
Ok so my gf got the S5 and she is trying to find a good screen protector, I personally like wet application screen protectors because they are the easiest to get on and have the best adhesion. So i was wondering if there was any good one for the S5?
She wants one that is clear, scratch resistant, and smug resistant but dont cost an arm and leg (a round the 20 mark max)?
If there isn't one that is water application but still have really good adhesion (meaning it stick to the edges of the phone) then will be willing to consider that as well.
Thanks in advance!!!

Ok, have you considered a tempered glass protector? Adhesion isnt an issue and it doesnt get any easier to apply that these. However, if you are stuck on using the wet apply, ive always had good luck with the Zagg HD.

If there isn't one that is water application but still have really good adhesion (meaning it stick to the edges of the phone) then will be willing to consider that as well.
Thanks in advance!!!

How about these Galaxy S5 Screen Protectors?

Ok, have you considered a tempered glass protector? Adhesion isnt an issue and it doesnt get any easier to apply that these. However, if you are stuck on using the wet apply, ive always had good luck with the Zagg HD.

No she's never considered tempered glass protectors before and when I explained it to her she didn't seem all that interested in it since it's kinda became the trend where we both didn't have a screen protector on our last phone and suffered minimal scratches. So don't see the need for something as extreme as an extra layer of glass. But maybe the Zagg HD might work thanks.

I typically tend to stay away from items that don't come with a few customer reviews, its always better to have the opinion of a few people that have tried that way I have a better idea about what it is i am purchasing.

Just a little more info. The tempered glass protectors do add a little more protection than the regular protectors but that's no where near the reason I recommend them. It's for the feel. It feel like you don't have a protector at all....like using the phone naked. Just my 2 cents. Since I started using them a couple years I won't use anything else.

oh ok, well I've never used them but from what i've look up on them, they seem to add a bit of thickness to the screen does it not? also there can be issues with certain cases as well?

There are typically several options available. For example spigen and mime are the two companies whose glass I've used and they both offer ultra thin versions or standard versions with rounded edges. Personally I prefer the rounded edges as the transition from the home button and such is smooth as can be. As far as case issues I've never had that problem. Especially on phones like the s5 where the bezel actually has its own little lip anyways.
I did a review on the neo hybrid somewhere in the accessories forum and I have my screen protector on in those pics but I don't recall if there is a good view or not. I will gladly take a couple photos and post them here for you on my lunch break.

Tempered glass is the way to go, adds a little bit of thickness but feels like using the phone naked, I had the zagg HD on while I waiting for my glass ones to come in. The Zagg was very good for the wet application but still has that rubbery feel all wet application suffer from. Look on ebay or amazon you can get them dirt cheap for around 5 dollars, I usually buy 4 at a time and once they get a little beat up or the anti finger print coating starts to wear off I replace them.
here's the ebay link for the ones I got

I think it's just as good if not better than the stock screen.

lol typos happen don't spend 25 dollars on the same thing that cost five. I got mine in 12 days shipped for free. I have tried probably every brand of tempered glass out there in the last 3 years. I bought 60 dollar ones and 5 dollar ones, the only thing to make sure of is that they have an oleophobic coating.

Typos do happen. That being said the oleophobic coating is definitely not the only thing to worry about. Fit is important and the cheaper ones don't necessarily have the exact fit but the may. Hardness is extremely important as its what determines scratch resistance. Thickness is also a big deal. The difference between .3mm and .23 mm doesn't seem like much but it can create an obvious lip and also cause case issues. Also, rounded edges are a huge deal and not all glass protectors have them. And the thicker the protector the more important rounded edges become.
