Yup

Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard

Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.

Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?
I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.

I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors

I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning

I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.

Will you use a screen protector?

Curious of people's thoughts given the inclusion of gorilla glass 4 which is supposed to be pretty good. If you are going to use one, standard or going to thicken it up with tempered glass?

I don't put them on with phones using a curved display, in this case 2.5d or whatever they're calling it. I don't like when the tempered glass doesn't cover the entire screen. I'll just be using one of the clear spigen cases

Already ordered a $4 tempered glass protector on Amazon and should have it here by Tuesday.
I prefer glass since it feels better than the plastic protectors but thats just my opinion. It's either you protect with a case and some form of screen protector, or you don't at all.

I haven't tried a screen protector since my droid incredible and even took that one off. I get phone about every 6 months and have never used them. No scratches visible to naked eye on any. Doesn't mean they're not needed at all, just not for my uses or wifes

Nope. Never had, never will. No screen protector, no case. I'm just careful with my stuff.

youre just like my dad, i don't know how he has kept his iphone 5 and currently 6, in perfect condition w/o any protector or case

I've got an S3 in perfect condition without a screen protector. I won't be getting one for the S6 either but I WILL be purchasing a warranty plan from Samsung.. just in case.

i never installed one on my S3 and sold it after having it for a year without a single scratch,. i have an S4 now for the past 2 years, no protector and screen is still flawless as if it came out of the box.. so my S6 won't have one either.

My Nexus 5 shattered pretty easily, so I'll be using a tempered glass screen protector

I'll be ordering this.

Had my current device (at least the one I've kept) with nothing but the paltry Gorilla Glass 2 on it for over two years now. Screen remains in immaculate condition.
No screen protector for me.

There are two versions of it. The dry one is the one in the link and it doesnt cover edges of the S6 edge. There is a wet application version which covers the edges.

K, thanx for the heads-up.

Yes. It wouldn't hurt to have a screen protector on your phone. It's added protection. Here's what I've found on Amazon. It's currently on sale for $1.95, pretty cheap yet high quality screen protectors. Check this out.
IllumiShield

i work construction, phone is in my pocket all day. i use my legs to help pick things up and push so im real interested in this temp. glass

never bother with a screen protector with any of my phones with gorilla glass. Even though gorilla glass still scratches none were noticeable with the screen on. The feel and clarity of a naked screen is so much better than any screen protector including temp glass ones. I would only consider a temper glass screen protector if im not using a case but i rather have a bulk of a case than having to use a screen protector.

Yes, Spigen as always!

^^what he said^^
I literally never ever drop my phones and can usually keep my phones scratch/ding free, even on the screen.
at most i'll buy a phantom skin/invisihield to use on the back of the phone when i lay it on a surface, but the screen always stays uncovered.

I ordered a screen protector yesterday for $1.99. It'll be more than sufficient until some of the glass ones are refined and are perfect.

Best Screen Protector for Note 7 ? Curved screen peeling concern.

My current Phone is a Note 4.
I have always used Spigen screen protectors. The one on my Note 4 was applied almost 2 years ago and it only has minor scratches.
I noticed Spigen doesn't currently have a screen protector for the Note 7. Should I wait ? If not, is there a good alternative ?
Also the screen is curved. Does this mean the screen protector peels off from the sides ?

I ordered this after seeing a review on the best screen protectors on Phone Arena. It looks like the one in the photo unlike the posted review said in this link. I bought this before the review was posted, and when the phone arrives I will see how it fits. My only worry is if it will interfere with the Unicorn Beetle pro Case that I have.

+1 for the Skinomi's , but on my Note Edge, i had that orange-like surface on the screen when looking from an angle!
I ll go for the IQ shield when i receive my phone. Had good experience in the past with it.

Trying 3 different products I was sent for review. They are in shipment...
Skinomi
IQ Shield
ArmorSuit

The Note 7 will be my first curved screen phone (upgrading from an S5) and I plan to get either an Otterbox or Spigen case for it. I had a screen protector for my GNex and hated it! Is a screen protector really necessary (or more necessary than non-curved screens)? Other than "necessity" what advantages do screen protectors add? I'm looking for some honest feedback since I have zero experience with curved phones.

Their is a myriad to try out. I used Versus Thor on my Note 4 & Versus Neo Hybrid (their frame is aluminum vs Spigen had plastic frame).

So those of you that have experience with the Skinomi HD Clear screen protectors, I have a question for you. I bought this case for my phone:
Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - (562CS20403) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIUIFEI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_oNyTxbE3YE34X
Now this case is pretty minimal. Meaning it isn't very bulky and doesn't add a ton of protection. So with that being said, would the full coverage protector work or do I still need to go with the case friendly version? I'd appreciate any advice.

I had to get case friendly screen protectors for my S7 edge, pretty much all of my cases would lift the screen protector. I used IQshield and Skinomi full coverage on my S7 edge.
I also have the full coverage IQshield for the Note 7 and it's not installing very good. The edge is smaller on the Note 7 so the sides keep popping up. I have an Armorsuit case friendly that I will try soon.

I got the official screen protector with my note7 today at my local samsung store along with a bunch of other goodies in a cheap bundle.
the screen protector is film and not glass, but it's not flimsy, and is already pre-shaped to cater for the curve. it came with two in one pack.
the application was easy enough, as it came with dust stickers and a surprisingly high-quality hard-card with soft felt hemming on it for pushing out air bubbles.
it covers around 90% of the front glass panel, but still covers the whole display area itself, and reaches around the curves too, and is inconspicuous when put on properly.
definitely happy with it and will stick with this one until a really good quality curved glass protector comes out.

Samsung Galaxy note 9 Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Per the forum rules, posing affiliate links is not allowed on XDA.

As per other posts; I've gone for the amFilm glass protector for my Note 9; it worked superbly with my Note 8 and I think the glass protectors do better on the Notes than the S series; as the Note screens are less rounded
I might go for the Whitestone Dome on too; but at x3 the price of the amFilm, I'll start at the cheap end and go from there
I've also got the Unicorn Beetle Supcase for my Note 9 and will order the i-Blason Ares case too as it's more lightweight than the Supcase:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G9CK...olid=3DTRR9QJAYDDQ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Already got a Glass Dome 2 pack. Using the Note 8 version for a year; I cannot think of any other product that matches it. If you use the S-Pen, it's the only option that feels like no screen protector is there, without sacrificing touch sensitivity either.

I'm using edge adhesive tempered protector, and activated touch sensitivity in advanced features.... The result is amazing.
With note 9, I don't care if the protector comes with full or edge adhesive anymore.

Hi everyone. I just need feedback from someone who is using the Dome Glass Tempered Glass with Spigen Case Neo Hybrid.

I actually took the glass off my Note 8 and applied it to my 9, fits surprisingly well, though without the installation tray, it was a bit of a trick to pull off, but I managed.

Already have the case; the Dome glass arrives tomorrow along with the Dome case too (an offer on Amazon currently)
I've already got x2 amFilm glass protectors for the Note 9; so will report back on those too

Whitestone here for me as well. I have installed maybe 10 whitestones already for friends and family from S7-Note 9 & Iphones. So far it's saved the displays at least 3x and they always comment how it's way better than the random glass protectors they used to use (one spent over $150 on random protectors before I installed the whitestone).
Of course though, they aren't too confident with the installation so the job falls on to me, but it's honestly not too hard as long as you follow directions, and watching the video installation once or twice is a huge help. You get really used to it and comfortable after the first 1-2 installations.

Just using some random one that my carrier had for sale. After having little luck with Note 8 or s8 protectors I was really impressed with this one. Had to increase the touch sensitivity in the settings but it works great now. I guess the tempered glass manufactures are finally starting to get the hang of making protectors for curved screens.

I haven't had any issues with tempered screen protectors since the S9. The touch sensitivity option makes all of the difference. I'm currently using a Caseology tempered glass protector with no issues.

S10e screen protectors

Which one do you recommend for the S10e? Right now I'm still using the default protector which was applied by Samsung, but I don't really like it.

i ordered one on ebay but i have a feeling it's flat not edge to edge full cover for 10e. They use generic photoshopped stock photo for all 3 models and claim it's curved. I think 10e has 2.5D edge. Not completely flat. I'm also using the garbage thin film they included. For $800 scumsung could include high quality glass and case. I also ordered glass for rear cameras. Never seen or used one before. Not sure what to expect.

tried ESR tempered glass and MP mall tempered glass from amazon
both do not stick on side, ESR is off by like 0.75 mm because of 2.5D curve of glass, it does not stick on side. so dont waste your money on these two, i am still looking for one may be just a bit smaller than ESR.
temporarily ordering a film protector till i find a tempered glass which fits right.

I'm using the PureGear HD Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7S174H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_byaHCbZY5Q1N0
It only has adhesive on the edges so there is no bubbles. It is case friendly and is a decent alternative to the whitedome which remains the superior choice for the 2.5D screens.

how is touch sensitivity and does is create rainbow effect like some tempered glass with adhesive on side do?

Keep in mind aftermarket screen protecters (especially glass ones) will have problems with the fingerprint reader.
Im using the samsung one for now until some testing and revising is done

No rainbow effect and if you increase touch sensitivity in the settings it works great. I have no real complaints.

which non-glass protector do you guys recommend?

Yes, that's exactly what you are seeing. The S10e does indeed have a factory installed plastic screen protector. You can really feel it around the camera as there's a cutout for the camera. I would expect it to scratch rather quickly, plus I don't think it provides nearly as much drop protection as a tempered glass one might.
I'm following along here hoping that there does wind up being an economical tempered glass screen protector that works well and doesn't life at the edges. Seems like this will be similar to my S7, where I was never really able to find something that works and just went naked.

Thank you for the response I've just been so confused with everyone saying the S10 and S10+ have one but not the S10e. I think you're right it is just a polyurethane plastic protector. And just a heads up I tried to apply a tempered glass protector over top of it and it definitely made it hard for the edges to stick.

I had the same confusion. All of the media I've seen say the pre-installed one is only on the S10 and S10+, but if you look around the camera on the S10e, there's clearly a cutout that confirms there is a pre-installed screen protector on there. I'm still not exactly sure how to get it off. I picked around the edges a bit and nothing is coming up easily.
I'm not sure how well the edges of a tempered glass one will stick even if you took off the pre-installed one. I haven't seen any reports of an economical one that works yet. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as I am with my S7 and be forced to go without one.

I ordered an Alinsea glass protector from amazon, sounds like a knock off of a Whitestone from their description. It doesn't have a cut out for the front facing camera, which is great, as a cut out just seems to collect pocket lint. I have not received it yet.

I got one. First time doing an install of this type and given the barebones installation tools provided, it was above average difficultly. First one ended up with bubbles.
