Wow! You have been through a wow of cases! My thinking is wait till you get the SGP oleophobic protectors and see how they go with the S pen! The SGP crystal was rated at 4H (from memory) and never showed spen trails. But to tell the truth I must be a light wait with the pen as I never leave trails - not even on the cheaper ones like the matte finish.

There was a post about plastic covers but will have to search for you.

PS Got 10 of the matte protectors for $12 delivered so reckon even if I use one a month that is great value - I just can't afford glas t and as you said - too thick! Like me :) So me will stick with cheap gel case and matte protectors - have great grip and protect well!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] whatsaqazza:
Just curious, right now I'm using a xtremeguard screen protector and it's pretty good, but I don't like the texture of it all too much, at least when using the s-pen. It's kind of jelly like(?) so it can be hard to write with it. I was wondering if SGP protectors are also like this. I was considering buying one but I want something that I'll like. Any recommendations? I don't know much about screen protectors. The closer to a hard surface the better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
Some girls like shoes....I like cases :) I never pass on a nice case. I think You're right, I'll wait and see what the oleophobic is all about...but I have the ultra clear in my shopping cart on amazon waiting.....thick comes in handy, just not when it comes to screen protectors ;)

Have you seen the "androidified" cases on amazon for the note? So awesome! Cheap too, buy 2 get 1 free....3 cases would cost you $19.80 and they really are great cases. They are my fave next to diztronic....they are much harder tpu than diztronic. That's a great price on those sp's you got but I cant do matte...it'll mess with my ocd. Thanks for all your help Temp!

I got the SGP clear and it is great. What stresses me greatly about screen protectors is the installation. It went well - no specks of dust got in the way, and no bubbles formed.

The fit is fantastic. The surface feels solid, straight, clear - can't really tell it's on really. The stylus leaves no marks/traces.

Got it from Amazon. Two in the package. Well worth it in my opinion.

Sorry I can't post a link, but it's $15.99
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
@Minutia.......was it the ultra clear you ordered or the clear optics? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] TempusFudgeIt:
Hey Dirty H! Thanks for the tip on the cases from Amazon - they do look kinda cute!

I have to admit being happy with the tpu cases that I got from Hong Kong ebay last year - they were less than $3 each and have proved very durable. Plus they give a great textured edge to grip tighter!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] whatsaqazza:
I've never used a SGP screen protector... can someone confirm that Ultra Crystal has a hard surface and not a rubberish one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
Thats exactly what I'm looking for too, not "rubbery"....hard surface like those cheap ebay ones, only 100 times better and clear.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] TempusFudgeIt:
I've used the Ultra Crystal and they are hard - not like glass but thick plastic with a 3H-4H hardness. I used s-pen on it and never left a trail.

I have since gone back to cheaper matte finish ones as I didn't like the reflective glare on the Ultra. I will probably go to Ultra Matte finish when I used up the ten cheap ones that just arrived from ebay :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] eug:
I'd highly recommend the Ultra Optics over the Ultra Matte. I had the Ultra Optics on my SGS2 so I decided to try the Ultra Matte on the Note. You get rainbow effects and the display is slightly blurred out. After a few months I replaced it with the Ultra Optics and it's *much* better. No rainbow effect. I prefer the feel of the matte (feels like paper), but I couldn't stand the rainbow effect.

The phone can get scratched. It gets too scratched ill just smash it and claim on the insurance.

I got 10 matte protectors from ebay for $12 inc delivery. They are good quality and cheap enough so that you can blow a few - took me three goes to get one on without any dust or bubbles :)

Some have said they don't like the matte finish but for nearly all apps I find it great - video, internet and ebooks/email all look fine to me.

I had £20 left over from my One X refund so plugged for a twin pack of Martin Fields. One of them has to stick well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] TempusFudgeIt:
Hi John

Link is here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18079421...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2411wt_1163

Key for me was that they said Japanese material and it does seem to be much better quality than the original ones I bought.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Souai:
to be honest, i never really liked matte anti glare screen protectors on my note. they seem to have more colour distortion on my note compared to my brother's galaxy s2. that seems to be the only difference i've noticed between pentile and rgb.

so i generally just stick to good quality gloss ones (and by that i mean the ebay ones that come in a black cardboard case, not the ones that are just bundles in an envelope). you dont see the fingerprints when you're using it so thats not a problem for me, and its fairly scratch resistant as well compared to the really really cheap ones you get on ebay. sure you lose some sunlight clarity, but at least the colour isnt distorted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tomdroid:
Do they have the rainbow effect (blue / green / red "sparkling")?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] craiigman:
Can some link me to a good one, uk site preferably :) looked on amazon note many and got bad reviews so yeah..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] TempusFudgeIt:
Hi Tomdroid

They do have a little bit of the "sparkling effect" but I don't find it annoying - it is better than seeing my ugly face reflected back at me when on a darker screen or out in sunlight :)

The effect is more pronounced on some greyer screens but never gets in the way of watching videos or reading emails/ebooks.

In terms of rainbow effect - only noticed it very occasionally so wouldn't call it a problem.

Overall I'd rate them 9/10 - they are cheap, quite durable, clean ok. They are not as tough as the SGP ones. I would probably go a matte SGP once I can afford it and once I have used up the supply :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] allansy:
Just received my ultra optics from shimshop ebay. All I can say is... wow! I have a great screen! From the moment I bought my note, never took out the screen protector, for a week, i endured the screen protector that comes with buying the note. That was with the amoled logo blocking the screen. Changed it to a cheap matte sp, it has rainbow effect and just plainly made my screen look bad. Now with ultra optics, feel like i have a new note. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fast_asleep:
anyone In the UK interested in mass order of the 3M Estoc+ screen protector?

best screen protector! (there is a thread by Vulpix)

its available from gmarket but i cant work out how much postage would be to the UK

anyone in the UK order from gmarket?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tsk1979:
I was checking out some screen protectors on ebay. The non retail packaging ones cost around 0.99 or even less.

However, there are a few which cost around 3-5$ for a single piece.

I have shortlisted a few

Titan : You have two options, anti fingerprint or High clear - Which one do you recommend?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/28083966892...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

2. Xtreme guard

I am not sure whether its only for AT&T note? I have the N7000, and have asked seller whether they stock one for the N7000

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220969422644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

3. Cheap one(1.294) - Seller claims it leaves no residue

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180847363764?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I am gravitating towards Titan. But I do not want something which gives me a rainbow effect.

after having purchased these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170864007632#ht_991wt_1270

they are not good at all, cheap plastics, but the product was as described, just not good enough of a product.

I have now decided to purchase this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006O88YZK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00, by reading through this thread, dont want the glass t one as its too expensive, roughly a bit less than 10% of what I got my note for.

Just wanted to show off my case-matching screen protector.

Both are products of Mercury.

They only made matte screen protectors, otherwise I'd choose a glossy one to keep the HD.

wow. that is actually really cool...

how much bulk does it add?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] rcheung28:
Adds roughly 2mm thickness all around, so it's not the thinnest case, but it does provide good protection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PolishDude:
just noticed realook is a korean manufacture per amazon.com so i emailed them asking when they are creating a screen protector for the phone, honestly I hated screen protectors, always pulled them off up until I used the realook on my last phone, noone can even tell there is anything on the screen

I'm hoping SGP Korea starts selling their screen protectors & cases for the Note soon. I usually have them on all of my devices.

Not overly keen on Zagg Invisibleshields no more, I brought one for my Dell Streak and at first it was fine, but after several months, it started to garther really sticky dirt around the edges of the shield, not very nice at all....now I don't handle stuff with overly dirty hands and the phone is usually in a leather holder, but the phone would look like it was being handled by some hobo. What even worse is that when I finally decided to remove the shield, it ended up ripping up small flakes of paint off my phone....then again, it didn't help that I had the Red version which was painted on rather than matieral colour....but still.....not impressed.

I have just ordered, via Amazon, the Anti-glare Folix (German made), exactly the same as on my HD2 - bl***y excellent - you just have to put them on in a clean room (ie. no dust/ airborne particles)!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] vinokirk:
DO NOT BUY THESE!

They are thinner than paper!

If anything were to come into contact with the screen that a decent screen protector would protect against, these ones wouldnt protect! They are absoulutely attrocious.

I ordered a pack of 2 folix screen protectors for the galaxy note via Amazon. when I tried to fit it, I found it was too wide to fit correctly on the screen. Since then (before i had a chance to complain) I received an email from folix saying that there was a problem with the early batch and I will shortly be receiving a replacement pack with a better cut. sounds like a good honest company....let's see when the new pack arrives....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 900SS:
Same thing for me, they emailed me before I even had a chance to try the first ones they sent.

I also ordered and received the Skinomi with the carbon back, I am not going to use them as they are realy thin and in my opion just a dress up decal not realy offer any protection and the are just as slippery as the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
Just had a look at the product description. It does say "Only 0.05 mm millimetres thick".....DANG IT...Why didn't I read that before I click on the BUY IT NOW button...:mad:

oh gosh... i've ordered the extact same thing from the exact same seller...

:eek::eek:

was it really that bad? how long does it take to reach you? i ordered mine like 4 days ago...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
Did just the back feel thin or the screen protector did too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Evo 4G63:
I have the Skinomi one too. The carbon fiber back Skinomi uses is actually 3M's di-noc carbon fiber wrap used on cars and it's quite durable. It might not protect your phone from drops, but it will protect it from scratches fairly well. I use the same wrap on my car.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
So the screen protector should be good then? I ordered one last week. Just waiting for it to get in. Not familiar with the brand so wasn't sure if it was quality.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
I am too still waiting for it to come. I bought it from the German eBay...but I am pretty sure they're the same. 179 orders sold from this seller:

The screen protector is thicker then the carbon.

I would use the screen protector, but I think I am going to return it.

I just ordered this body armor:http://www.amazon.com/ArmorSuit-Mil...0ESK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1321216154&sr=8-7

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] RMXO:
I just received my Skinomi full body over the wkend & I'm impressed with it. It doesn't feel rubber like the one my Asus Transformer. They originally sent me one for the SGS2 but after emailing CS, they shipped the right one quickly to me.

The only thing i didn't like about the full body is the battery cover. I felt that if I lefted it on, I would lose my grip there sooner or later if I'm not too careful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
Just received mine in the mail today....will put it on my Note tonight and see how it performs....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Unsinkable II:
How well does the carbon wrap adhere to the textured back? Does the texture show through?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Evo 4G63:
The carbon fiber wrap is actually quite thick. You won't be able to tell the back is textured. The only gripe I have with it is that it might actually be too thick. It is very noticeable when I brush my fingers across the edges.

It's sticking pretty well to the back so far for the 2 days I've had it. Though I've only had the wrap on my phone for 2 days, I've had other experiences with the 3M wrap. I have the same stuff wrapped on my car's roof and interior. It's pretty popular in the auto enthusiast world as it withstands weather and adheres very well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
Can you tell us a bit more about the screen protector please?

How is the fit of the cut out on the screen?

How does it feel compared to the glass screen? Is it smooth without too much resistance?

Do you loss some precision with either finger or s-pen input?

Does the protector add glare when using the phone outdoor?

Lastly, might be too early, but how do you feel the screen protector holds up against every day use?

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Souai:
i'd say wait till he's used it for a few days before getting his comments.

from my experience, new screen protectors always feel sticky for the first few days after application. you have to use it for a few days for the stickyness to go away, and then it starts getting smoother.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Unsinkable II:
Thanks for the feedback!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] RMXO:
I agree, I need a few more days for the screen to kick in but I'll do a day after testing right now. I ordered the Skinomi Clear Screen Body Guard.

The day after I got my skinomi installed. I know I should of waited longer than 12 hours to use my phone but I feel so naked w/o it.

I got the front & sides protected but I had to remove battery cover protector cause I felt that I would probably lose grip if the whole phone was covered.

I'm using the stylus now & if I just l just hold the tip of the stylus w/ no pressure, you don't see any lines. Once, I start to add a little pressure, then you start to see lines & the words I was writing. I did another test & just used my fingers on the screen & it picked up what I was doing with my fingers. So no precision lost with fingers but you do have to put a little pressure for the s-pen.

The body guard is thick enough that you can barely feel the volume & on/off button on the sides. It's not total flush but you do feel a little. Not sure If I like this because I didn't feel the buttons as I once did before the side guards were put on.

The screen is very smooth & it does pick up fingerprint marlks. PRobably need to give this a few more days on this.

It's still cloudy here so I can't comment on the sunshine test yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
Thanks for your feedback.

One more question before I order my please, does the screen protector line up perfectly with the screen edge, home button, earphone speaker and camera?

I have tried a lot of different screen protectors and I am a huge fan of Realook. It was miles ahead of my experiences with the others. That said, I don't know if they have a product ready for the note yet.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] RMXO:
I wouldn't say it lines up perfectly on the edges but you do see a very little gap between the sides & top. The home button is cut bigger so there is a little gap there. It all depends on how the screen is put on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Twohothardware:
How does REALOOK compare to the SGP Steinheil screen protectors? About the same?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MoWeb:
I don't know the answer to that question because I've never used SGP.

...but IMHO the Realook on my t-mo Vibrant is very clear to me and will definitely go on my Note when I get one. ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
I haven't put it on the actual phone yet. But I have tried to put on the glass of my coffee table. It's very thin, but feels tough. There were many bubbles when I applied on the glass table, so it will probably be hard to apply to the phone. Try and use a knife to scratch it. Made a few lines on the protector, but feels like it might actually take light scratches quite well.

At the end, decided not to put it on the phone because I feel like it would be very hard to put it on without making many bubbles.

Unfortunately I have managed to acquire a scratch on my beautiful galaxy note screen. Sad times. I'm now looking for a good quality screen protector to protect my screen from further scratches. I know that if I use a screen protector it will also, more than likely, hide the scratch that is already on my screen. I usually used SGP screen protectors on my previous iPhone, xperia x1, hd2, desire z. I'm interested in alternatives as I've found the sgp's to be of a high quality.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] RMXO:
I would recommend the Skinomi as an alternative until SGP comes out.
