I had Zagg screen protector since first day I bought my tab . I feek like my s pen is not so much responsive as it supposed to be . I have to press little bit hard everytime .
Is that screen protector ruining my tab?
I guess it was actually for galaxy tab 2 .

Zagg protectors are thick and rubbery. It seems as if they would produce almost too much drag for the pen. Have no idea if they reduce pens sensitivity.

Could do since the tab 2 doesn't have pressure sensitivity like we do, so maybe its not designed to account for it.
Myself I grabbed the official Samsung one, which is also for tab 2 or note 10.1 and it seems to still respond ok.

I have the zagg cover on my note 10.1 and have not noticed any problems with the pen or finger use.
Do not know it has been asked before or not...
I am using XG screen protector on Nexus 4 with Diztronic case, to be honest it feels rubbery and struggling on the edges. Sometimes it does come off because of the case. Now hunting for new screen protection. Happy with case though.

Yeah you need either a case fit wet application or a dry application.
I recommend SGP ultra olephobic. Using that with my diztroniz and it works great

Does the SGP screen protector goes up to the edges and wet application?? How much it is in UK?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Case optimized screen protectors do not cover the edges. Also it's dry application

Will any protectors which do not cover the edges do the job? There are good reviews for Terripan on Amazon...

Halo HD screen protectors have been my favorite. I've gone through quite a bit.

No does not go up to edges.
I'm using SGP ultra crystal with my poetic bumper and I also have a ringke hybrid fusion case ..and the sp is really great with both.
Does not lift. Not a single scratch yet.

Wait does this mean that XtremeGuard + Diztronic TPU case isn't a good match?
I didn't quite understand what you didn't like about it. Are you saying the edges of the screen protector start peeling?
Yes it has starting peeling from top with case on....

Damn! Thanks for the reply. I'll look at other case / screen guard combinations then.
Just checked out Acase Superleggera Pro Case, and that seems just as good as the Diztronic. Will this peel off the screen guard too?
To answer the question: I have the Gadgetshieldz optimized screen protector. They peel a little bit with my Diztronic and Acase. The Rinke fusion doesn't have this problem.

I've been using XtremeGuard screen protector with my diztronic tpu since I got my nexus 4.. its fine for the most part. Check the ditronic case thread and the xtremeguard protector thread for other peoples experiences. As long as you get the edges of the screen protector under the edges of the case it actually holds the protector on pretty well. I think i put mine on slightly low so sometimes ( once every few weeks ) one of the corners starts peeling a little from moving around.. I just lift it up and push it back under with my fingernail.. or you can take it out and put it back in.. also gives an opportunity to clean the dust out from the case..
I am using one with Note 2 (but Clarivue falls apart pretty quick).
Hopefully MIME can make one for Note 8. Since the screen is flushed flat, it should not have edge problem like Note 2.

I want one, too. Spigen posted on Amazon that they will not be making the GLAS for the Note 8.0.
Just reached out to XGear to inquire if there were any plans to offer a product like the Spectre for the SGS3 for the Note 8.0. Best dang screen protector I have ever used. Saved my SGS3 twice. Pricey, yes...but cheaper than replacement costs.
Will report back when I hear.

Just heard from XGear. They said they have no present plans to manufacture a Spectre for the Note 8. But will keep in touch. Dang.
a bit over a week ago I contacted Spigen who told me they will not be making a tempered glass screen protector for the N8.

Tempered glass
its difficult to find tempered glass for note 8. I find the product through aliexpress, but i don't know regarding the quality and whether they will work with the S-Pen or not. They will send it worldwide from Hongkong or China. The thickness itself vary from 0.4mm up to 0.6mm.
Anybody use it? Please review. Thanks.
For those that go naked (no case), have you gotten any scratches on the fake aluminum edges?
I'd like to use no case and have a screen protector & back skin but worried about scratches on the edges.

I bought one for my S3, those things are so cheap and crappy I wasted my money. However I bought a nice from Draco Designs ( which wasn't cheap) but definitely quality. FYI I emailed them this morning and they replied that one for the S4 will be available next week.
So far I have had no case on my phone (about a month) and there are no scratches. I have only a "Just Like Glass" screen protector
This is what I just put on mine.
search B00BMIG54O on amazon
$14.95 ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen Protector Shield Ultra Clear + Black Carbon Fiber Film Protector
Skin provides nice traction as opposed to stock slick back cover. Edge skins included.
The sides scratch very easily! I highly recommend some type of protection if you intend on keeping your device in mint condition!
Its actually nice metal on the s4 so not the plastic coating like on the s3

Not the metal trim ring around the phone itself, but the chrome bezel that's bordering the display has scratched fairly easily on both mine and my wife's with some minor drops. I definitely wish I would've got a case for outings sooner.
The aluminum trim around the outside of the phone however has remained scratch free on both.
Mine has a small ding in it, and I don't ever recall really dropping it. It does bother me though, and I'm certain I had to have dropped it at some point, as it's on the bottom.

I second the Neo Hybrid. I bought my S4 about a week ago (changed from the OG note) and spigen is completely wrapping it with the screen protector and the Neo since day 3 (had to order the case lol). it doesn't add too much bulk, it levels out the back so your phone isn't resting on your camera when you set it down and it provides a lip so you can set it face down and won't even touch the screen protector and for a total of $30 my phone is completely covered and not too much bulk added.
Also NFC works and rumor has it wireless charging should work too.
Its the best case I have purchased, Im about to buy the Glass Screens from Spigen.
I skipped the glas.t and went to their Ultra crystal screen protector. Over in the i717 section there's a HUGE thread going over the Glas.t and they started out awesome but the later posts say that they're getting peeling up after a couple months and was probably due to a change in the adhesive. Plus with the extra thickness of the glas.t the home button would be recessed, with the Ultra crystal the button is level with the screen protector. And at $7 for the ultra clear you get 2 and MUCH easier to apply.
Been completely naked on mine for about a month. No scratches on the glass, chrome bezel, faux metal ring around the outside, or battery cover. I don't drop my phone, haven't ever shattered a screen in 5 years of having a smart phone. I keep it alone in a pocket, and that's it. All my phones have been treated this way. The One X looked like it went to hell and back after a few months, but my iPhones, Captivate, S II, and Note II all survived really well. My wife is not so gentle, just throws it in her purse. So she has a flip case on my old Note II she is now using.
The only place I have seen any of these phones show wear is on the back when they rub when placed flat. On the S II it was the lip below the battery door. On the S 4 it seems to be the bottom lip of the chrome around the camera lens. That small section is scuffed. Otherwise this naked phone is pristine after a month of use.

I had mine since launch day. I dropped it 2-3 times from desk height with not a single scratch anywhere.

im a device nudist; never damaged the faux metal on the GS3 or GS4. I am pretty careful with devices though.

Perfectly, I use Wallet almost daily.
Just upgraded my Note 4 to a Note 8... No more security updates for that Note 4 and I gotta have those security patches in my industry... Too bad. Note 4 still works great...
I never really used a screen protector on my Note 4... But those exposed curved glass edges on the Note 8 get me worried. I'm getting the Alcantara case, but should I screen protect?

I haven't put one on mine yet. I use the Spigen Tough Armor case and I just haven't found a good screen protector yet that works well with the edges. Let me know if you find a good one.

Dropped my note 8 face down on gravel and shattered display. Glass alone cannot be replaced. The oled and glass come as 1 unit and are only 259 to have installed at a samsung certified repair shop. Way cheaper than paying phone insurance unless you drop it the first month my phone is like new again.
