So whats best screen protector for less finger prints or easy to clean prints limited scratches. And good with spen? I need one!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
68 page thread and you're asking THIS, it's been discussed for 68 pages. Read the thread. There's so many threads about screen protectors. Read and decide for yourself, there's plenty of reviews and opinions. It's dependant on your needs and what works best for you. I have tried Spigen and like them a lot but I have grown tired of the micro scratches I have been experiencing with them. I don't drop my phone, put it in pockets with anything or in my purse. I decided to give these JLG a shot, hopefully the rainbow effect won't be bothersome. I've experienced rainbow effect with Spigen Ultra O from certain angles in all light and it's not too bad.

Here is an 87 page thread about JLG vs. ZAGG if you want more light reading - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36086871#post36086871

Every single protector that is not matte will get fingerprints. I can tell you JLG's wipe off easily.

As far as the best with the SPEN I don't think there is any competition. Ours is like writing on the glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
if you're mother has a bit of dropsies, I suggest something like the Defender. At a minimum, a TPU with a lip around the whole thing, which DBA Uttra looks to have, Cruzerlite, and several others. I personally have the clear Cruzerlite and it has a lip around the whole thing. Only one corner is exposed kind of because of the Spen. I have it and the JLG on mine.

it's not going protect from a long fall, but enough it falls out of my pants pocket or something like that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
Her bodyglove arrives tomorrow, she never dropped her sensation. It's because the phone is so slippery without a case. It was a PITA to find a white bodyglove. I almost got the clear cruzerlite but tbh I prefer the feel of the bodyglove over tpu.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
I do that too. I just have get a lot oiliness on my fingers somehow. Although a shirt, pants, sweatshirt, tie, and so forth gets rid of the finger prints, I end up with cleaning smudges. I think it's a more me situation and the environments I end up in. Plus, I grew up with a mother who is clean freak like Monk, so I noticed that kind of stuff. I noticed it on other devices well. It's more noticeable on lower brightness levels, which mine is usually at the lowest possible. I work grave shifts and mostly outside.

I''ll get to doing an evaluation and review. I'm just wanting more time with it. Plus, I've been sick on and off for last two weeks or so.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I agree - your mother need a protective case.

Our Ultra is very thin and you can choose your color combinations. It will be out this month for the Note II. It will protect against drops as well as any other case out there.

As far as brightness levels I think the Note II is fantastic with battery life. I keep mine at halfway and I can go 24 hours. So you may not need to keep it so dark.

If I turned it up to maximum I'd burn my retina's.

After about 4 weeks of using JLG, I am a little disappointed.

First issue was Amazon's fault as they packaged it horrible. Cant Fault JLG for that. However, my replacement JLG was missing the actual screen protector. Finally got a replacement from Amazon and applied.

It does look good and spen does work good. But 3 weeks into using it, I have a bunch of micro bubbles all the sudden popping up. Around 10 and the worst is 8 are in the middle of the screen. Very disappointing. Oh well. Guess I will move on to something else.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
That shouldn't happen.

Don't move on - email me your name and address and I'll get you another. Micro bubbles after three weeks shouldn't ever happen. The glue we use is just too strong.

JLG Screen Protectors!

1 out of 3!

Now you may be asking, "What the hell" does that mean? Here's the story. I ordered a JLG Protector for my Note 2 the day I got the phone. My friend ordered a JLG protector as well when he heard of my recommendation. We both got our protector, and I ended up doing all the installs. My first protector had 2-4 bubbles that never cleared up (small on the side near the edge of the screen). 100% no dust below the bubble as I used a magnify glass to try to look for it. Installed my friends the exact same way. Same atmosphere...

Friends protector, 100% clean, zero bubbles, almost zero haze after install!

I came on here to talk to Scott. Scott sent me an replacement.

Installed it today the same way I did it... 1 bubble dead in the center of the screen. Once again, zero dust! Same type of bubble where it looks like the adhesive had problems. Hundred of microscopic bubbles around the perimeter making it look like one bubble! From the looks of this, it won't clear for sure, even after 2 days.

My conclusion? I believe there's something wrong with some of the adhesive spread on the protector itself. Or it could have been the way you spray the solution onto the screen protector. If you spray too close, the pressure might have caused something that messed up the glue (which caused the bubble). I can use a credit card and press around, the microscopic bubbles will move away... then few mins, it will go back surrounding the location again.

Guess, I'll just deal with it... =|

Definitely not trying to be a pain in the ass here. But it was my experience.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
I agree with the battery life. After two years of using my phones this way, it's just what I'm comfortable with. Unless I'm watching a movie, tv show, or sporting event, I just leave it at zero. And half the time, I still don't turn it up. The only time I turn it up regularly is if I'm out and about during the day and outside.

The sad part, I would like the screen to have lower brightness. On my Evo, I had it so low that if I went outside during the day, I couldn't see a thing. I have the brightness toggle in my notification bar in the same spot, so I could adjust it when I wasn't able to see anything.

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

Some of this is normal with wet applications. Make sure to push the bubble all the way to the edge and out. I like use the microfiber cloth an credit card method. If you see some tiny bubbles, they will should work themselves out after a few days.

I've personally never heard of the spray being an issue nor experienced it. I've installed Zagg Invisishields on mutlidevices which are all wet installs, as well as the JLG on the GN2. If you think it's glue, I more lean that your GN2 screen wasn't perfectly clean. You could try window clean or ebson rubbing alcohol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
you would think i'm stupid enough to not clean the screen? and you would think that I didn't push bubble out? Installed it 3 times. I've installed wet applications screen protectors about a dozen times in my life.

I'm just trying to share what I'm experiencing.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Attaching two pics

Not great pictures, but this is how it looks like trying to remove that bubble with finger nails. I would also like to note that it's not scratches that you see on the protector. It's adhesive under the protector making those lines.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Fingernails are just not a good idea.

The soft part of the tip of your thumb or a card wrapped in cloth.

Or ignore it and it will get smaller.

Those scratches will rub out over time - just like the bubble would have gotten so small it wouldn't be an issue.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Scott, I have no idea how you deal with the people you deal with. I think there needs to be proof of a master install class before being allowed to purchase your product. I sincerely hope some of the crap I read on here is a minute proportion of the protectors you sell.

By the way, those aren't scratched. It's the bubbles below the protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Scott I sent you and email with 2 pics of my screen after 4.5 days. Can you please let me know?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
Yes, I have the exact same problem. All over the screen. Looks really horrible, and very not like glass. Lol. Although, I do not blame Scott for it. It is pretty frustrating since this is a one shot thing for us.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
i'll give it 24/48 hrs before I post another pic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I don't get this anywhere but here - on Amazon where I sell quite a few only 2% return them. Less than that have issues.

However being in this forum means we are somewhat neurotic in the first place because we need to know everything about how stuff works :p

I've even got an installation video done by a reviewer who doesn't use screen protectors (until he got ours) and he's installed every one perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00Ywd3N_3g

I do bend over backwards to make sure everyone on XDA gets one applied correctly - I consider everyone here a friend. I get great feedback - sometimes too much. But even the people who yell at me right away usually end up happy.

Sometimes I do want to go nuts however. This is what I'm working on (because of XDA)

1) Two protectors (still don't know if it's possible but I'm negotiating)

2) Big squirt bottle - enough to drink.

3) A cloth as awesome as iSmooth provides.

4) Dust Removal Stickers

5) Real packaging!

Consider that I'm trying to get all of this done along with running the company and selling cases I don't have much time left.

I'm also working on Just Like Glass Dry as an option.

There is only so much one person can do. I hope that this year (soon) I'll be able to hire people to do some of the stuff I'm doing now.

You are awesome Scott I still love my jlg protector great customer service thank you
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Scott, if you did that you could charge Zagg prices :cool: FWIW, it's been about 40 hrs sinve my install and I have one small bubble left to dry out. The protector feels tough and slick. I dig it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheNeck:
Scott,

Just wanted to say I love my JLG for my note 2, i installed it december 24th(almost a perfect install, just one small dot with a dust particular underneath the protector, in which it wasn't worth trying to remove it after my initial install), in which I haven't had a single problem with it, it looks great on my brand new white note 2 i just got not even a week ago from my install of my JLG. I will definitely being using your screen protectors on future products i purchase. Keep up the AWESOME job.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Scott, I would consider eliminating the squirt bottle all together and go the "one drop of dishwashing liquid in a bowl of water" route. That would lower costs for you as well as eliminate screw up installs due to too little solution sprayed on the protector. Kill two birds with one stone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
I was wondering this as well. I seriously had my doubts when I ordered this but I can say now I really like this protector. I have actually kept it on the phone since I installed it almost a month ago and that is very strange for me. Usually I install one then remove it for another screen protector a week later.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Scott,

I'm definitely not trying to be a hard customer. Just trying to share my experience and my feeling of your screen protector. I've installed it the exact same way, just not sure why there's such a difference when it comes to the adhesive stuff below the screen protector. My fingers actually never touched the button sticky part at all. Sprayed enough solution that it's dripping.

I totally appreciate your customer service. It's probably one of the best I've seen when it comes to an owner responding to a customers needs. Also I would like to add that JLG does in fact have the best feel when it comes to finger on screen and pen on screen. I just can't handle the weird bubbling on the bottom of the screen protector. If none of that happens, your definitely a 5 star in my books.

Hope you understand. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks

Thanks to all who posted how well theirs went - it's nice to hear that instead of complaints all the time :crying:

If you could please leave reviews on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Just-Like-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B009YNR7JG/ref=sr_1_14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1357244184&sr=1-14&keywords=galaxy+note+2+screen+protector

Powerwagon you are definitely an MVP when it comes to this stuff.

I'm actually looking into including a tray of liquid they can dip it into which would effectively be what you suggested.

My concern about your suggestion is the if they use tap water and some sort of soap they may get more dust particles and stuff than if they use our sterile solution.

Maybe we could include a packet you pour into water... hmmm.

Outside the US you have to use DBA Cases - http://www.dbacases.com

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
Is that the same phone and new JLG or the other phone you spoke about? Those bubbles should disapate over a couple days without having to do anything. You can't do too much better of install if that is fresh.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Screen protector has been on for 24 hrs already. Same thing... It will not go away. I can confirm and would be 100% sure.

Those aren't haze leftover from water solution. It's adhesive problem.

I hate to bash the company, but this is what it is. Picture speaks for itself.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
It takes about 48 hours for the haze to go away and if you have a water pocket longer.

Your installation looks nearly perfect.

If you can send a close up of what you think is glue I'd be happy to take a look.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] burrzoo:
I believe it's scratches, not bubbles...

I'm sorry, but I think your photo is misleading and those are actually scratches, not underlying bubbles. Especially if you used your fingernail to "push out" a bubble that appeared from installation. Did you have all of those lines after initial installation and before using anything sharp to push out a bubble? When I looked at my "scratches" (which appeared way after initial install and when all bubbles/haze were completely gone) with a magnifying glass they appeared as if they were lines of micro-bubbles. Very similar to your photo. I'm beginning to believe that is just the nature of how a scratch will appear on the JLG material surface.

I'm hoping Scott can confirm one way or the other (it's not that the micro-scratches bother me since they don't and have been unavoidable for me, I'm just curious).

All-in-all, I'm very happy with JLG and better to have scratched the screen protector which is replaceable than to have scratched the Note II Gorilla Glass!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
scratches do not have bubbles. these are lines of bubbles under the protector. I think I can tell what is a micro-scratch vs bubbling.

scratches are lines on the screen protector. scratches would not show bubble trails like my pic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
That's the way all of my scratches look also.

Remember that on ANY protector if you press hard enough you are going to cause the film to lift a little in that area - not so much with ours but I've had it happen on others. If you were trying to get a bubble out and scratched it out it may look just like that.

I find that over time those just go away and don't interfere with the use of the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
i would like to mention one thing. if i press on other parts of the protector where it doesn't show those lines, it doesn't produce any of the lines of bubbles. it only does this in that specific area. therefore it definitely aren't scratches.

A scratch should look like this

but either way, i'll give it a week to see if the bubbles get away.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Testing

I've been testing installation methods for the last few hours.

1) Plain water in a bowel - dip entire protector in to get it all wet. Result - Fail. Water comes right off. Needs to be sprayed on.

2) Dry apply - someone said they did it once. Fail - major. Don't even try it.

When I was done ruining 4 Note II protectors I put one on with the spray the old way. It took 5 minutes then I took pictures. My method? Clean the device - wet fingers. Take plastic off and spray it a ton. Immediately put it on the device and move it into a perfect position. Dab water out until it stops moving. Then take cloth and push water out to edges. After you get all of the water out you can with the cloth do the credit card in the cloth. This will be the result.

No shower - no clean room - in fact the opposite - I installed this right in front of the keyboard.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DeoreDX:
I am sure to clean whatever bowl I use out before I use it to install a protector. I've installed maybe 10+ protectors with this method and never bother to use squirt bottles because imho this method works much better. Just be sure to put the drop of soap after the water and gently swirl it around to mix it. That keep you from making soap bubbles in the solution which take longer to disappear. At least in the US I can't imagine particles in the water being that big of a deal.Just be sure to tell people to use cold tap water because if there are particles in the water it would most likely let be picked up from the hot water heater.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Good god...what in the hell are you guys doing to your protectors? Are you applying them with sandpaper? Installed one on my N2 and one on my wife's S3 and both are nearly perfect. Looks like an install issue, not a JLG issue.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
In viewing the picture, those don't look like scratches to me either. Although, from the distance, I can see how one could think so. It doesn't look like air bubbles to me. It looks like like there is some kind liquid or something trapped. I don't think it is.

If those are scratches, whatever did it wasn't able to maintain even pressure and was probably dull. Since it's a SP you just put on, the math doesn't add for it the product since the last one you had on had it as well. That was over a week ago. I don't know the manufacturing for JLG. I'm just skeptical you got two protectors from the same run. In addition, if it was in the run, I just can't believe Scott hasn't heard more on here or possibly Amazon. And in normal manufacturing, there is a usually a three to five percent bad product output. Assuming JLG fits within that, odds are really low you got two bad ones that close, thus it's possible..

I agree though, something is off. I don't remember the picture of the first install. If those marks are in the same spot, have you checked the actual phone screen to make sure that it's not somehow damaged.

I just never seen anything like that with all the screen and body protectors for electronics on my own or friends' equipment.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
first one that I had just had a bubble, no dust, not some weird looking bubble lines underneath. Here's a sample of first run

There's one other person on here that said he had the same problem. Not sure who he was and if he can chime in.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I have pretty much read this entire thread, and chimed in about my poor experience with the ZAGG HD screen protector. I ordered one of the DBA cases protectors from Amazon and it came in today.

I have installed so many screen protectors that I swear I could get a job as an installer... In fact, I have friends who come to me to get theirs put on. So, with that I said I used my normal method.

1. Go to bathroom (cleanest room in my house).

2. Wash hands well, wash hands again and dry with lint free towel.

3. Turn phone off and remove battery. Clean phone completely.

4. Spray hands with sterile solution, spray phone screen with sterile solution. Spray fingers well with solution.

5. Slowly remove protector from carrier plastic and spray well.

6. Apply protector to screen. Use thumb to gently move in to place and remove large bubbles by working them to the edges. Start at the top and evenly work way to bottom.

7. Use lint free towel with credit card to pull the remaining bubbles to the edges.

When I was completely done applying the DBA Cases protector I immediately noticed that the edges immediately had bubbles "appearing". I would push them out, and then a few minutes later they would re-appear. After a couple hours I had several spots around the edge of the protector that were bubbled. Almost NO haze at all anywhere else.

I am hoping that as this dries it will allow me to permanently press down the areas that are not sealing. Any suggestions as to what else may work if its not just a matter of it needing to completely dry?
