Question: Are these screen protectors matte?
Document: Various paperwork about how to apply etc.The protectors themselves are your typical matte type that if applied properly gives you a good enough viewing surface. I did find that the matte versions of these produce the tiny little colored dots on the screen that you don't get with the clear ones. The thing that sets these apart from others are 2 things. They have a video that shows you exactly how to apply it and is actually useful even if you're a screen protector vet.
* Clear and SMOOTH finish that works well for the Galaxy Note 2 and it's S-Pen! The Zaggs and other &#34;squishy&#34; protectors (as I call them) don't work well with the S-Pen in my opinion and the Matte screen protectors seem to wear the S-Pen tip out faster and also makes it a little harder to write with. I have tried a few other Smooth-type protectors and they all scratched pretty fast.
Previously I went with a matte anti-fingerprint / anti-glare screen protector from another vendor and found that not only was it as advertised but it was also anti-clarity.This is hands down the best screen protectors I've ever used. As long as you're meticulous with installation, you can hardly tell it's there. Don't sacrifice clarity for reduced fingerprints or glare. This is the closest look & feel to nothing at all covering your display while retaining peace of mind knowing that it's protected from scratches.
I have tried many different screen protectors from matte to glossy and they have all been a pain to install, and get scratched very easy. I must say this is one of the best looking screen protectors i've seen (very thin and unnoticeable) . It was with out a doubt the easiest screen protector to install and I didn't get a single piece of dust under the screen protector.For the price you cant go wrong you get 3 incredible screen protectors and a really nice cleaning cloth. DEFINITE buy!
***Update for new Galaxy S4 protectors***I am updating this review to the new S4 protectors since we upgraded to the S4. I've been using both the Matte and Clear and both have been excellent and do what they claim. I've had these protectors in the past for my Note 2, so I knew they would still be just as awesome for the new phones. You can't beat the quality for the price. Installation was simple, and pain free.
This product really was great. I got a new cell phone (finally) and know that I needed to get a protector. I REALLY wanted to get one that was "matte finish" because the mirrored ones are a PITA in the sun. This product came almost immediately after I ordered it, the directions were VERY clear, and it also came with a great cloth (worth the $ alone), plus not one but THREE Protectors.
Item exactly as described. Best screen saver I have seen and I have tried a bunch. Very clear, no matte finish as with other comparable products. Very pleasedService was great from this seller and I would definitely recommend this product.
However, the screen is not nice with the 3M matte as it looks grainy and it is nowhere near my iPhone 4 in terms of picture quality. So, i decided to try and order the HD screen protector and it really is an HD. I highly recommend iSmooth's ultra premium HD version.
I have been through two other brands and cannot stand the matte texture. Why would you want to lessen the clarity of the screen. These are completely clear when you put them on the phone. I have had not a problem with lessened sensitivity with the screen. Although as others have stated as you install do it in a dust free area, a tiny speck and you will see a bubble on the screen.So far the only complaint I have is with the interaction with the pen.
Nice shiny screen. SHINY! Can't even tell I've got a protector on it. I've used matte ones in the past.I do disagree with the gentleman in the instructional video. I think the installation is better from bottom up. I had to re-position the protector because it over lapped the home button a bit. When installed from the bottom up, perfect fit.Now to shove my shiny (SHINY!)
Answer: They resemble the same as if there was no screen on your phone. They are not dull or flat at all.
