I would need to see pictures.

The one I installed last night that I posted you see had no issues. With the S3 protectors there is some edge lifting and whiteness because its so curved.

With the Note II I've had no problems and I've installed at least 7 on my Note II.

Post a picture if you don't mind.

Wires?

I need to vacuum and dust.

Cables I don't notice.

I see a couple of recurring things here.

1-Incredible and attentive customer service from Scott. As the owner of the company, his willingness to make things right has been nothing short of spectacular.

2-Unfortunately it also seems that installation is very hit and miss even with some seemingly very experienced installers. I don't fall into that category of very experienced installers but I did follow directions to a "t" and got far less than spectacular results.

Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Go to Amazon and go to anyone who makes protectors - ZAGG, SGP, etc... What will you see under reviews? The same stuff that is on the forum. The fact is that screen protectors are not the easiest things to install. All protectors get dust, all have issues. If you're going to buy a protector knowing this you want to go with a company you know will back their product up.

I also had similar looking bubbles this morning as a poster a few posts back, but it WAS just water (had to use a bit stronger touch but the moisture did get out). I am still waiting for mine to sort itself out and it is really not the easiest experience, but it is worth it knowing it minimises brakes for 35%.

The easiest instalation I ever had was of an extremly cheapo protector, it was dry instal, as recommended I used a blow dryer to heat up the adgesive well and it went on in a minute like a charm. But I would not trust that protector as protection against brakes. So there are always the negatives and positives.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xperiaforme:
Did this thread say somewhere that small scratches rub away with use on JLG? Because as haze is drying up, I stared noticing I managed to make some.

Also Scott, do you think JLG could be dry installed by use of blow dryer? Anyone tried it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
You are completely correct - you need to put some pressure on them with the soft part of the tip of your thumb to get them out.

The scratches will go away with use and your fingers glide over them. Not as fast as self healing but it works.

I've tried the blow dryer and it didn't work. The protector is too stiff. I ended up heating my galaxy nexus up a huge amount (still works). It was a wet install though.

A dry install is nearly impossible - I've tried that also - unless you line it up PERFECTLY and don't need to re-adjust it then it works - if not you have to pull it up and then it's bubble city.

Just picked up the zagg invisibleshield hd. Install was a complete debacle. Opened the package to find it looks like someone shoved the actual protector in the box and it was wrinkled. I attempted to put it on, got it perfect only to find a hair. Removed and reinstalled and still have a spec of dust but ill deal for now. It feels good but I assumed since it said HD that ment it was clear. Not the case as it looks like an anti glare protector which is exactly what I didnt want. Needless to say I think this will be going back. Going to let it dry before I decide for sure.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xperiaforme:
Well my JLG is almost completely haze free now and I am quite happy with the way things worked out. Now I just have to use my phone enough to get those scratches out :). My final question is if I should order a spare one just in case. How possible is it to have to change it do to wear that would happen by putting different cases on and off etc?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
My JLG is a handful of days old and has 2 tiny imperfections probably from install error. The edges are a little bit white. Overall, the feel, clarity, and toughness of this SP will have me as a repeat customer when I get the Note 3.

Not the people on this thread aren't aware, but come across this on YouTube, and figure some may find it of interest. Plus, could be useful marketing for some people (with permission of course).

Currently using Tech Armors HD screen protectors and so far I am very impressed. No orange peel effect or any kind of screen degradation at all. Also doesn't feel like it's on the screen at all! On amazon they are going for under $7.00.

Hey Scott I just received my jlg protectors. The packaging is decent, would be less problematic for you if they came in cardboard like sgp does, imo. You may want to check with your fulfillment center as both protectors are missing the cardboard squeegee, no biggie for me since I prefer to use a cc. May be a problem for others. I will post back after I finish installation.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pschatz12:
Does not come with squigee
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
On the package it says it comes with cardboard to get bubbles out. Here's a pic. View attachment 1625608

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borijess:
Anyway to easily tell which side to peel off on jlg screen protector before Applying?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
Yes, you can definitely tell.

Well, the protector has the same fit as sgp protectors and is very smooth, it does feel like the glass. It's near impossible for me to get a dust free environment, two cats, a dog, and central a/c. I even wore latex and powder free vinyl gloves, cleaned the screen with rubbing alcohol, then just to be sure I used compressed air to blow off the screen. First protector had one spec of dust under it, I removed the protector using scotch tape and tried washing it with mild dish detergent and water from the spray bottle (there's more than enough in the bottle) and reapplied, still having more left in the bottle, no dice, still had the same spec so protector number 1 went in the trash. On to second attempt, same procedure and this time I sprayed a mist of water to remove any dust from the air. Again one spec of dust appears as I squeegee out the liquid, it's not in the middle of the screen and it's not on my phone. My mom's not bothered by it at all, it would drive me crazy. She's happy with the protector. The rainbow is very visible to me everywhere in my home because energy saver light bulbs are florescent and that's what I use. I will stick with the sgp protector I already have on mine. With dry protectors I can lift off the protector with scotch tape and use scotch tape to remove dust if any gets under, it always does. For me dry protectors work better and I can't live with dust under the protector. Scott, if you come up with a dry protector I would love to try them out. You're a great guy when it comes to customer service.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
It's the large piece of cardboard that is in the package - I fold it over. A credit card is a better idea.

I have a test dry protector on right now. It's very smooth but it does have some plastic feeling to it. I've had it on for about 4 days without any issues at all. No rainbow but also it lacks the perfect glass feeling. I'm going to get some more information on it.

Like you I notice everything on my phone - so a dust particle would drive me nuts. My wife is the opposite - she doesn't even notice when I'm testing protectors and there is a different one in the morning. She wouldn't even notice the particle.

There is dust EVERYWHERE. The key is to take it off, spray it fast and put it on the screen. Don't let the dust get on it.

All of the "do it in the bathroom", "use a spray can of air", etc... I don't think are necessary. In fact I think the bathroom may make it worse because you will have bigger water droplets in the air which can carry bigger dust particles.

Send me an email to scott@dbacases.com and if I find a dry one I need tested I'll send one to you to get an outside opinion.

It can't come with a squeegee - ZAGG has the patent on including a squeegee with a squirt bottle in the same package.

They are suing every big manufacturer right now.

I'm working on an alternative.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
Lol. Just wow. A patent on including the tools to help protect your screen. Some corporations would rather pay lawyers than the r&d department. Wonder where the jobs in america are going people? Welp, good thing I don't buy zagg anyways. Their protectors are crap anyways.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Actually an individual owned the patent and was suing ZAGG.

ZAGG settled with him to buy the patent and then they sued everyone else.

The Defendants are trying to get the patent invalidated... hopefully they will succeed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
I hope it gets invalidated. That is just as lame as apple patenting anything that goes into iPhone whether there is previous art or not. Some entities just have no shame. In the meantime people don't buy zagg because you'll be supporting a weak patent system and weak product.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
Thanks Scott, e mail sent. I am a little bummed that the wet method didn't work for me. The one on my mom's phone has no haze, using a cc under the micro fiber cloth really pushes all of the moisture out and I soaked the protector. Great cut and it is really smooth, compared side by side to sgp, jlg feels like glass. The rainbow isn't bad in her room at all, I can't see it with the screen off. Just the spec is dust is killing me, lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
I don't mind specs as long they aren't in my display area or edge, otherwise it is getting ripped off. What sucks also is rearth and sgp#s pull tabs are at the top and the gnote2 is easier to line up starting from the home screen area so I've wasted $35 between 6 of their brands. Hesitant to try jlg because it is wet installation but I am tired of wasting time and money. Scott you hear me? You need to get on the ball and get your cases in so I can get those and some protectors in one purchase. Lol.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
One more thing I have noticed, it's more resistant to finger prints than the sgp ultra opheliac. No smudging whatsoever when gliding my finger across the screen. These sgp's drive me crazy with smudges and finger prints, I am wiping the screen so much I am going to wear the protector down. The dust spec can only be seen with the screen off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
use sanitizer like you're OCD and you smudgies less often. it's true. lol. dries the crap out of your fingers.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Wet is easier if your follow the instructions and watch the installation video.

Well, unfortunately after a few days I just could not get my DBA Cases screen protector to look right. Followed the instructions, Watched the video, Plenty of experience...

I know the T-Mobile dry apply ones are not very respected, but its easy to get to look perfect and its better than nothing on the screen.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GMAN1722:
I put my JLG protector on two days ago and I have a few air bubbles. i was wondering whether I should pick it up and re-apply it. I have a little bit of the spray solution left as well. Thanks. And I do love the feel and look of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
No don't pick it up and re-apply it. You will triple the amount of bubbles you have now.

Use the soft tip of your thumb and try to press them to the edges - you can push hard you wont hurt it just don't use your fingernail.

Also they may dry up on their own.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GMAN1722:
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I remember reading this before. When I get the chance (if I can ever get off of XDA :laugh:) I will place a review on Amazon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I should do a FAQ on my site but people on XDA keep asking me questions :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
puke green. just kidding. you should probably add pink in there for the girls. and a dark blue and a light blue should round out the colors.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I can do a puke green - it's a very common color :p

I was considering a Blue PC like the Blue Slate that we used with the S3 - but since there is no Blue Note II, I don't know.

Also how many women who get a giant Note 2 will want Pink? I doubt many.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Greatbape:
Orange and a smoked color if possible. Glow in the dark color?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
Pink eww, purple, violet really. That would be nice on white or titanium.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Zacedward:
sweet thanks for the update I think for pc titanium would look sweet and blue for the tpu I guess pink for the girls
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
I was just thinking about the girls. How about clear or smoke? And as mentioned violet would be cool. But definitely a dark blue thrown in. Heck right now, if you released pink tomorrow I would probably get it. I need protection.

Clear never looks good.

I don't think I'd do a smoke and a titanium for the PC - one or the other.

I could do a smoke for the TPU.

Here are some examples of colors we just did for the iPhone which comes out next week.

It's African Violet and Tangerine ;)

Purple and Black, Orange and Black....

I should have posted more colors but I got tired. There are 42 combinations for the iPhone 5.

I like the black and Candy Red, and the white looks good with everything.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AstainHellbring:
You got your note 2 preordered yet? Also what color combo would you recommend for a titanium gray note 2? Gonna get mine ordered soon since my work requires a case for all company paid for phones
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] erick161:
Would be nice to find a textured tpu case similar to how the "metal" look is on our gray.

I ordered some clear cases so it wont hide the grey. First one that came is more frosted...but its offering protection until the rest arrive.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I'm not pre-ordering it. I'm going to walk in and buy it when it comes out for cash.

I'm going to get the Titanium Grey - I like the color and I don't really like the white.

I don't know about a case. I'm hoping to make some but in the meantime I may just put black carbon fiber on the back which will look cool and give it a grip.

I don't like putting on cases I don't make anymore...

I haven't even really looked at cases for it. If I make the Ultra for it then I'll have every color combo. A black/titanium would look pretty cool. But it has to be thin. I could get a minimal case from another company for the time being...

This used to be a good company - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Feeling-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B009POUJ5S

But if you read the reviews there are fit problems. They also are making the cases cheap.

I just went through 8 pages on Amazon and didn't see one single case I liked. If I have to I'll just use a few Cruzerlite's to hold me over - I know the CEO and for a TPU case they are quality.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] osazone:

Yes you do ship worldwide but what about shipment fees?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] charmartist:
I just recently removed my Zagg Invisibleshield HD. I couldn't stand it anymore. I currently have a body glove around my phone as the case but the screen is naked.

I'm considering leaving it like this cause it's gorgeous. How clear is the Just Like Glass protector and does it leave marks like how Zagg did?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EdgaBimbam:
just to inform, dont buy this screen protector, expensive and crap http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989808
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ArborRes:
I have bought a Ringke Matte Black SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case and a SPIGEN SGP Anti-Glare Steinheil Ultra Optics screen protector.

Ringke case looks good and feels good as well, albeit a slight fit problem (left side near volume rocker button doesn't fit perfectly as it doesn't wrap around the corner completely like the other thee sides). I think Elago G6 slim case or SGP Ultra Thin Air case may work better, but I am satisfied enough with this inexpensive yet good looking case.

Ultra Optics screen protector is very good. It doesn't cover the phone fully but covers the display screen portion well enough.

It's a matte finish and the overall amount of reflection is quite acceptable. When using the S-Pen, there is sufficient amount of friction on the screen to make it feel like writing on a pad of paper, rather than gliding on a glass, which is good. Installation worked well and I have no air pocket anywhere. Clarity is very good also. The only interesting thing about this screen protector some may find annoying is a tiny squeaking sound as you glide your finger or pen over the surface. It is getting better and better as I use the phone, mainly because finger oil is beginning to smooth it out a bit. All in all, it provides good protection, good clarity and good writing surface, and therefore, I am satisfied with it. I would not recommend Zagg invisible Shield like protector as they have either orange peel effect on the screen or too much grabbing of the pen. While it protects the phone better, it looks awful after some time of writing on the surface. I would highly recommend Steinheil Ultra Optics or other Steinheil Ultra series screen protector. The Just Like Glass looks pretty good also but haven't used it to comment on it. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] weebeast:
Has nobody tried a Martin Fields screen protector?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pacificwing:
I use the Spigen Ultra Oleophobec (pink). The screen protector itself is excellent and basically is immune to fingerprints. It does make the s-pen feel like you're using a bic pen on soft plastic. It feels like you're carving it up, but it doesn't leave a mark.

The entire usable screen is covered, but there is about 1.5mm radius between the edge of the screen protector and the frame. This is to accommodate a case. Furthermore, the front facing camera, speakers and button are not covered. This is pretty much standard.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
It has space for the curved glass.

They are completely hard - so no drag like the others. No marks either. If you take it off there is no residue left behind. It doesn't affect the quality of the screen at all.

I didn't anticipate how many people would want them but we're almost sold out at Amazon and at DBA Cases. I've ordered more but they won't be in until next week.

These are the features :

Just Like Glass Screen Protectors are :

The most optically clear film on the market which allows you to enjoy the full HD experience on your phone.

They repel oils, ink, makeup, grime, and strong chemicals.

They have the lowest light distortion. (Third Party Laboratory Tested)

They will never stain, haze, or cloud.

They will never have the "Orange Peel" of other screen protectors.

They are "Smoother than Glass". They have such a flat finish that the surface friction is less. This makes them 20% smoother than the actual glass.

There is no plastic feel at all. It's like touching glass.

They are the only film you can get that is not only scratch resistant but also resistant to screen breakage. The film increases the break resistance of the glass by 35%.

The film will last the longest of any on the market. Testing showed that while a regular screen protector shows wear after 345 uses while Just Like Glass® will not see any evidence of wear over 10,000 uses.

Made In The USA.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] santiagodraco:
I also bought the Spigen Ultra Oleophobic and at first, right after install, I hated it with the S-Pen. Now however it works great. I think that the use of the screen over a couple days has either lubricated it or removed some remnant chemicals from the manufacturing process. Either way the S-Pen glides over the screen very well. The protector also hides fingerprints very well.

Overall it's a great protector. Very happy as well.
