I am really enjoying using my new Note 4 but an issue I've found is some screen protectors seem to almost reduce the resolution/brightness of the display.
So I thought rather than wasting my money, check if there was any screen protector which everyone agreed was either the best or one of the best.
My priority is:
absolute transparency
screen protection
slimness
I've heard alot of good things about the spigen screen protectors, as below

What does everyone else think?

It was the intelliGLASS edge to edge screen protector until I realized that it was picking up a lot of smudges (Easier than most generic ones) and it's a bit too close to the edge to allow for TPU cases. I just went with one off eBay. Has haloing but I have the white note 4, making it almost impossible to see.
tempered glass is the way to go, normal plastic screen protectors vary to heavily in quality and are prone to scratches and discoloration. I'd honestly pick up a decent tempered glass screen protector of ebay. although I've been using mine without a screen protector for a while and it's held up fine. in saying that i just ordered a nuglas tempered screen protector last night of ebay for 8 bucks.
I'm a big fan of Illumishield: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Screen Protector with Lifetime Replacement Warranty - Japanese Ultra Clear HD Film with Anti-Bubble and Anti-Fingerprint - High Quality (Invisible) LCD Shield - [3-Pack]
I find them to be completely clear with a good feel. I forget they are on the phone. For the most part they are resistant to fingerprints, fit perfectly and are very durable. One usually lasts me the life of the phone. Priced well also.
The best part is that they are really bubble free if applied in a dust free environment (steamy bathroom). I use the hinge method to pre-position the protector so I only have to put it on once.
Good product.

I just bought some Terrapin screen protectors off Amazon and they are terrible. Already scratched up just from wiping it down once. Does anyone have any recommendations on some screen protection? I would rather use the dry/cling style and not the wet type. I have the MyBat screen protector for my SGSII and love it, but it appears they only make protection for the 10.1.
Thanks for the advice!!
Bought two @folix screen protectors from Amazon few weeks back. They are very easy to install, exactly the size of the screen (with a hole in the camera lens area). I feel it reduces the fingerprint smudges but think it's also just a bit more difficult to wipe the screen fully clear. I cannot see any difference on the image with or without this foil.
I am considering ZAGG invisibleSHIELD to protect my Galaxy Tab 8.9, but is it really necessary? The glass itself is reinforced and resistant to scratches.

I recently bought a glare free protective film kit from iluv
With two precision cut films...
take your time to place it, but i'm very happy with the result.
No more fingerprints on my screen and it's still working as it was without it....

I'm looking for Screen protectors for my N4, I've tried a couple from eBay and they didn't fit my screen properly but they were from China and not name brand. So I'm willing to spend a little more on a screen protector, preferably LCD glass. However all of the reviews that I see for N4 screen protectors, I read half good/ half bad reviews.
Can people suggest decent screen protectors that fit the N4 properly without causing sensor issues, for under $10
I imagine a good list would help others in the future as well.
I bought xtremeguard...
it has more silicon touch feeling and its applied with soap water.
I am very satisfied since it is very hard to get a scratch - its very durable and reusable if you get dirt under...
it costs around 6€ but you can get discount code for 90 % on the web ...
ismooth with lifetime replacement warranty. Keep in mind that not all dry application films will cover edge to edge, due to the curve glass. ISmooth is the only screen protectors I will buy. Very pleased with them.

I used halo, got them off amazon. They are dry, and don't cover the curved portion of the glass, but the cutouts are perfect and cause no sensor issues, about $6 shipped for 3, IIRC. They seem to be as durable as the boxwaves and clairvues that I used on past devices that were more expensive.
I use mpero screen protector, got it on eBay for 5 bucks.

I ordered a LCD glass (oleophobic and lyphobic) from a seller in China on eBay for $7.99. It didn't fit properly so it didn't seal so I had to keep trying to apply it and the adhesive went to crap right away. Had to ship back to China for replacement. Good way for a seller to get negative feedback.

Ordered a cheap 6 pack for $1. Will use those until I settle on something else.
These actually work well. $1 for 6. Delivered in like 3 days.

Guys,
Just use eBay for these kind of products.
With time things change, and eBay constantly updates itself with those new products as sellers are the ones who sell those products.
So just use eBay to search for those kind of accessories and you would be fine.
I tried bestskins. Touch works perfectly, sensation is ok (not perfect, not as neat as glass sensation but ok), lasted nearly a year. Less than 10 bucks
try bestskinsever on google.

I would second this... Halo screen protectors are really good for the price. Some users report issues with them lifting on the edges where it curves but I have not seen this. Very clear, good touch response, and don't interfere with any sensors.

I just picked up a couple Nillkin/Redpepper tempered glass screen protectors off eBay for $6.50ea. Nice packaging (despite the spelling errors on the box), and sturdy, unlike the one I ordered from China and came shattered. Comes with rubbing alcohol pad and microfiber cloth. Took a long, hot shower, then left the water going and applied the screen protector without a speck of dust under it (humidity keeps lint/dust from circulating in the air). The protector is exactly the width of the LCD, which leaves plenty of room for cases that overlap the screen edges. There's adhesive across the whole glass, so dust won't get underneath, unlike the XGear Fantom 4. No issues with touch sensitivity.
I like the durability of XtremeGuard, but not so much the rubbery feel, nor the fact that putting any case on will push the edges up and cause peeling. The dry application ones feel better, but are less durable against scratching. This is the first time I've used a tempered glass protector, and I don't think I can ever go back to other types. Naked glass just feels so much better.
I'm satisfied with the N4 display, after quite a few phones which were Gorilla Glass but not so good. The last good screen was the Samsung Wave 3's OLED with Gorilla Glass 1, it was impossible to scratch. N4 continues the legacy, i've been using it without a screen protector for 6 months and there are no scratches.
And after applying exponential brightness mapping mode, the screen became a fusion of IPS & OLED, blacks are pitch black now
You won't need any screenprotector on this device I had my Nexus 4 for over a year now, not a single scratch on the display so far.
And yet I lifting lot of Europe pallett, pusing it to my body (and near my pocket.)
Tech Armor make fantastic protector for the sceen.
I personally suggest a matte foil, great thing, seriously. I use one from the 3mk company, if u can get one of those in your country - just buy it and u will be happy with it.

What's the exponential brightness mapping mode?

panel backlight mode which allows for a more controllable display brightness. some kernels have it and you need Synapse or Hellscore Manager app to turn it on
it allows you to set minimum brightness to very low, and improves black levels close to amoled. You must turn off auto brigtness because its made for LINEAR, not Exponential brightness mapping mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfdsXqpnCEs
Left LEDs are Exponential - Right LEDs are Linear
Left is not as bright, but gives better contrast (better blacks)
If you have an OLED screen this is not benefitial for you and i think it only works for IPS
After 3 Weeks i got my Note Edge Healing Shield from Hongkong company Healing Shield.
http://healingshield.shoplineapp.com/products/5478a9a6039055c2e2000001
it comes with 3 pc shields (adhesive folio), microfaser cleaning rag, scraper and a remover sticker...the adhesive bonding folio is a litte bit strange, but works great. The panel is fully secured now, and the size of screen protector is 100%.
Love it!
I have it also and I don't like it.
It has that orange peel effect and makes my screen feel so rubbery.
I had no choice as it was the only screen protector that I could find for the Note Edge while I was vacationing in Singapore this past Christmas/New Year.
It does protect the screen and also the edge. I'd say it protects 90% of the screen but doesn't cover the the three sensors next to the ear piece on top and the bottom part after the home button.
I'm still waiting for the first tempered glass screen protector to be released for the Note Edge.
But the case I got for it is amazing. It is the Tridea case.
http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Anti-S...dea+case&pebp=1422104071464&peasin=B00PI5O2WY
They are good because they are the best out of the very very few available full screen protector.
However they have many downsides too. For example, they are quite soft so when used with the s pen, it leaves dents and marks on the protecto. It feels quite sticky too at the sasame time so doesn't feel very easy for the fingers to glide on. It also dims quite a bit of the screen brightness and colours. When I compared my note edge with my note 3, the note 3 screen appeared to be brighter and more colourful. I conclude that it is probably due to the healing shield protector. It just doesn't make sense that the new note edge screen is inferior to the note 3 one.
There are 2 types of film. The clear type and anti-glare type. The anti-glare type is much better for s-pen.
i put the armorsuit screen protector, dont see fingerprints.. but do see where my s-pen has been lol. its only visible in the light and held at an angle. Just waiting for a tempered glass screen protector to come out next month
what does it mean by self healing? and if it was, then why would you need 3 then lol
unless its another gimmick like the g flex.
Does your armorsuit covers the whole screen, including the edge? TIA.
I got the Skinomi protector and I absolutely love it. It was easy to put on and was the first protector I'd ever installed myself without a single bubble.
The big difference between the Skinomi and the others I've seen is that the speaker and camera notches are cut out just for them and do not extend up. (Look on Amazon to see what I'm talking about - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAJ07QU/) For $10 - best purchase ever for a phone.
Apparently, Skinomi will be announcing / releasing their tempered glass protector. I'll probably be picking that up when it comes out.
Correction - It was iloome I was thinking of - not Skinomi.
I agree. I just put a Skinomi on mine, and it is fantastic. Now, as for long term, don't know...but certainly a keeper. Just be patient and let it dry. Amazing.
I'm personally not going to even bother looking for a good tempered glass screen protector, because I want full case compatibility, and I want full screen coverage without black edges - probably not possible with 2.5D edges.
I am, however, a fan of plastic PET screen protectors as they are easily replaceable, should be cheap, and fit any case.
Currently, I'm using the one that was pre-installed on the OP6, but I noticed the edges are peeling already, so I'm looking for alternatives now.
Spigen used to have a "Crystal Clear" PET screen protector which worked awesomely on my past devices, but they do not seem to manufacture it anymore.
Perusing Amazon, the only one I see that's a PET protector is this one:
"[8-Pack] OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, J&D [Not Full Coverage] Premium HD Clear Film Shield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6"
Unsure of its quality though, and people I know have stated that the sizing/cutouts of J&D are not very good.
I'm not a fan of the 3M-type "self-healing" soft screen protectors due to the texture/stickiness.
Does anybody know of any alternative PET (plastic) screen protectors for the OP6?
I'm a huge fan of armorsuit screen protectors. They are the self healing sticky type. It takes a couple days, but eventually they lose the sticky feeling, and work great after that. Another plus is they seem to repel fingerprints way better than the pet screen protectors.
Still using the preinstalled protector for now, but will probably change to the armorsuit soon.
I agree with you. I hate the tempered glass (plastic) screen protectors and am looking for inexpensive PET ones like the one that came in the phone.
On eBay there is a seller selling the ExtremeGuard ones but the cut is all screwed up and they don't fit. I've always had good luck with SuperShieldz as they are high quality and pretty cheap and I'm hoping they start making them for the OP6 soon.
After using trying a few different TGSPs, I went this route. Armorsuit was nice, but I've found that the skinomi one is much smoother and has less drag.
Search for iLLumiShield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 on Amazon. They have both crystal clear and matte finish. They use Japanese PET film. Have not tried on OP6 but my previous experience has been very good.
Same, i always used these soft nano protectors on my old phone but i got my oneplus 6 with a glass screen protector that i got for free due to the code someone gave me so if the glass really sucks i will go back to the soft protectors. I always buy them from aliexpress and most of the time they are like 1 or 2 bucks so i always get a couple so that i future proof my self

Thanks for the recommendation. This is something along the lines of what I'm looking for - I think I'll buy a pack to test the crystal clear.
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.
