I got called out for not writing up the review I had promised on the BodyGuardz Pure...

This is the one I did for the iPad Mini ... basically covers everything I would have said in a Note review.

http://isource.com/2013/03/22/bodyguardz-pure/

After a couple months of not caring how I treated the screen on the Note ... I ended up with one TINY set of scratches that you could barely notice when the screen was off. No peeling, bubbling or anything of the kind. Long story short - Would buy again for sure and well worth the extra cost IMHO.

What's the best tempered glass screen protector?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Stay away from clarivue. Horrible customer service and won't stand behind their products.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
In my opinion, Seido. Can hit a person in the face and still not break or have a scratch.

I haven't seen any that cover the camera and microphones, but the zagg has an oval cut for the home button and a u-type cut around the speaker and camera.

Tech21 Impact Shield

Today I got my new SP from Tech21 after 7 working days of shippment. Fast enough for me.

So, after a couple of hours of using my note2 with this new screen protector I must say I'm impressed. The screen protector is very good and does what the company advertises.

I had an anti-glare SP that cost me around 10 euros and I hated it. I used it for about 5 months and I was sick of looking to my note2 and seeing a screen with rainbow pixel efect everywhere. Even the feel while using the S-pen was horrible. I came to a point of seeing a note 2 in a shop for customers to see and use and the first thing I said was "wow, this screen is gorgeous". That was the last drop. My phone was the same, yet worst. So I decided it was time to get a real SP for my awesome phone.

After researching a lot on the internet, I decided to order a Tech21 Impact Shield from mobilefun. The price was 24 euros instead of 35 from the Tech21 site.

The packaging was very nice and simple to open. I like the design and specially, as I said, the easy way to open it.

The install was perfect. Search youtube or go to their site and see the video. It was exactly like that. No more, no less. Awesome.

The optical clarity is perfect. Clear and totally invisible. I love it. For me this is enough to recommend the SP to all of you who want and excelent SP that is not glass but looks and feel almost the same. The S-pen slides like a charm.

I tried scratching it with a fork, a knife and a screw. It did scratch unlike glass BUT it did healed itself. You can really see the scratches disappearing in a few seconds. Of course it was not a deep scratch but it was not a gentle one either. Seems a very useful and cool feature. But only time will tell.

There is however one problem with it. It is a very good SP but not perfect. It attracts LOTS of fingerprints. It gets dirty easily, even though you only see it when the screen is off. But it is easily cleaned. At least for me, not a problem.

So, in IMHO I think the Impact Shield from Tech21 is an awesome screen protector and I strongly recommend it. The only con is the fingerprints magnet that it is, there may be people that can't stand it. It does not mess with you experience with the phone though. At least not a tenth of how my previous SP did. :D

I would post some photos, but I can't, at least for now. I hope I'll be able to do so soon without spamming just to get my 10 posts. Any questions, I'll happily answer them. Hope the review is useful.

I have had an ismooth on twice now and have removed it twice. Back to the original screen. The fingerprints and gunk that would build up on the protector drove me nuts. It also scratches easily.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Installed Bodyguardz pure two days ago and so far its good. It feels like glass vere very smooth. I think even better than the screen itself. S pen works amazingly on this protector gliding across the screen with no effort at all. You actually feel like you are hovering over the screen its so smooth. The clarity is amazing. Looks like a brand new glass window you just finished Windexing.

The only thing I found so far I'm not happy with is IMO does not extend far enough to the sides and top and bottom. If you look at the edges of the screen it is very obvious you have a protector on due to its great thickness and being too short. If you look at any other part of the screen it looks amazing. I didn't read back so not sure if anyone reviewed this yet. That said if anyone wants a couple of pics let me know and I will do.

Screen protectors can be great if you can apply them right, otherwise you end up with like a piece of lint under the film and it just looks bad.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ikthus:
I agree, I've since stopped applying screen protectors myself and just go to the mall to get it done. Costs me 5 bucks and it looks perfect (or until they get it perfect lol), no need to wait for shipping or stress out over applying it properly and potentially messing up.

Not sure what brand it is but I'm assuming it's a generic Chinese made one. It looks great though so I don't really care :)

Realook Curved protector for T889

Before I got Realook curved protector I followed some opinions and tried two different flat protectors which was a waste of time because these were always leaving significant part of the screen exposed to scratches. The Realook is the only good protector that fits samsung galaxy note 2 covering almost entire area of the screen. It is invisible after application and creates perfect protection for my phone. The feel when touching or swiping is perfect.

Almost every other flat protector is too small and leaves exposed area around the screen. That is why in my opinion flat protectors are useless because your screen will get scratched there sooner or later. The application was fairly easy but as always requires dust free environment. I got it right first time which leaves another protector piece as spare.

This is my second Galaxy phone protected with Realook. My first SGS2 have been used for almost two years when the protector got hit many times and it got scratched in process. But after removing old used protector the actual phone screen is intact and looks like brand new. Highly recommended.

Realook curved screen protector for T889 pics

Here you go. This picture shows phone with Realook curved protector in OEM Protective case.

Protector was applied with slight rotation which is visible on pictures below. Interestingly, it was not an issue so I was still able to form rounded edges by patiently squeezing all air trapped underneath the edge. Not a single air bubble or lifted edge all around. Perfect. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gorguts:
Think I found one

For those that care. I believe I found a screen protector that provides full coverage for the entire face of the Note II, minus cutaways for sensors and buttons. I say I think I found because I did not get them in the mail yet so I will let you know. You get 6 for 2 - 3 bucks and for those concerned with quality I always order the cheapo sp's and have only been disappointed once in like 12yrs. Even though I always get multiple sp's I have only ever had to use 1 and end up selling the rest to lazy people and end up making a profit anyway. Once I get it installed I will post a review after it has been used for a few days and I write on it with the sPen etcetera.

Entire face coverage? Is it curved on edges then? Listing product description does not say a word about it. Just curious. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] blazablaz:
I ordered those. They are not full coverage unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] weysonn:
the ringke one that came with my friends case covers the entire screen...

it is way better than the ismooth one in terms of clarity and feel

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Is there any chance you could post some picture please? I would really love to see some real world pictures of these screen protectors before deciding on getting this one. Thanks so much in advance if you are able to. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
Sorry about the quality, besides this phone I only have my old one for a camera.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
That looks awesome. Blows away my Bodyguardz. I regret spending $40 on mine. It looks like chit not covering the whole screen like yours and after a few days of use some of my buttons are annoyingly unresponsive. I tried to order yours but black and clear are all gone everywhere. Im thinking of trying Xgear Voyager 2 which also comes in black and covers the whole screen. Anyone have it? Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
Damn I grabbed it on amazon I remember it saying low inventory or something last week. I was kind of worried about it because reviews I could find were so-so but I don't know why. It's cut perfect, works with all of my cases and is just as thin as any other tempered glass I've ever had. It comes with a black and a white home button cover to raise it to the screen height too, even though in the pics I already have the SPG on there.

Theres The UAG Case That Comes With One And It's Like a 7.5/10. And the case is amazing
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aardvarkspleen:
Hey guys. I'm a welder who carries his phone on him. Shavings, and molten balls of metal flying through the air for 10 hours a day.

I used a UAG case before I bought the Otterbox. The screen protector in it was nearly unusable after about a week. With swirl marks so extreme you could hardly see through it.

I bought a Mime protector and couldn't be happier. It feels better. It looks better. And it's lasted way longer then the UAG one did. We're at about 4 months now, with metal shavings and grinding disk dust rubbing on it in my pocket all day. And a couple of red hot molten balls of steel landing on it. Had I been using the Otterbox's original protector, or any of the plastic stick on ones, they'd have melted through and chipped or cracked my screen.

I'll be ordering another one here in a short while.

Edit: the picture is under a bright light to show what kind of shape it's in. I'd say phenomenal considering the conditions it's subjected to. It's still totally useable. The one big chip in the middle is the only thing that's making me think about ordering another one at this time, otherwise I'd let it go for awhile longer.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
Can you show a pic of the upper portion of the Phone how the screen protector fits under the otterbox?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aardvarkspleen:
They fit together very nicely. The left and right sides of the Otterbox don't quite cover up the rolled edges of the Mime though. But I really haven't noticed.

The Otterbox's original screen protector was really easy to get out. They used what seemed like some sort of silicone to glue it in, so it was softer, and stretchy. I just pressed it out the back of the plastic part of the case.

I received my Ghost Armor full body on the mail today. Got the white carbon fiber back. Installed it today, but the back protector touched the back of the paper it was stuck to and ruined it (sucks!), so I've got a replacement on the way already. I've used Ghost Armor on my current tablet (Asus Infinity) and my previous tablet (Asus Prime), though never used Ghost Armor on a phone before. I absolutely love their protection, feel, quality, and lifetime warranty! My Asus Prime has clear front and back, while with my Asus Infinity I went with the gunmetal carbon fiber back (which is very close to the Asus grey!). I love that the screen protector covers the ENTIRE screen! There's a cutout for the home button, so the protector covers the 4 surrounding sides. It also goes all the way from top to bottom, and wraps the curves on the screen too! Doesn't feel rubbery, and the S-Pen still works great! I highly recommend Ghost Armor!! They make outstanding products and cover it forever! Nothing to dislike there!!!

So just want to know any information or any review you guys give about this protector(quality of it) before applying it :)

I should have the iCaseGear tempered glass screen protector by Tuesday of next week or so. Once it's been in use for a bit I'll get some pictures up and my review. Got the blue one on the way which will match the case I'm using.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Good luck with it. I installed it on my wife's s3 and she loves it. Only thing I can tell you is do the right job installing it. I use alcohol to clean the screen then microfiber cloth it comes with then a blow dryer to heat the surface a bit and blow off the little dust particles that land on it.

When I installed hers it really scared me because I had these rainbow looking spots in the corners but after a couple hours everything cleared up and its bright as the sub now...she loves it.

How does the proximity sensor doing when covered with all these screen protectors?

I had to cut a piece to uncover sensor as it was refusing to work properly when covered with Realook screen protector.

How are yours doing?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mufaddalezzi:
Well I would suggest you to buy a screen protector that has cutouts for the sensors and camera..you'll have no problems with the sensors(not in my case):)

Bodyguardz I don't like it doesn't cover the whole screen and I had problems with sensitivity when typing on keyboard.

Hello mates, I need help. I'm looking for a screen protector for my N7100. I need a good quality screen protector but not too expensive.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] marvelspires:
Thanks for the tip friend that recommended me to u, the edges are blistered around? since bought a Chinese, even enjoyed, but border around gets a layer of air because the screen healed. You felt no loss of sensitivity even? This white finish around is not of poor quality? I'd rather not, but if the sensitivity is good indeed, and not getting those bubbles around, I think I'll buy .. of the Seidio is not good?

blind screen 4 way

Hi mate,

I would like to give you infos about 4-way privacy / anti-spy screen, just in case someone looking for it.

I bought it from eBay (South Korea), $16.7 including tracking shipment. It almost took 1 month to arrive in my country, fiewh.

I just installed it for about 1 week and quite happy so far.

F.y.i before that, I used OEM anti-glare screen during my Note 2 purchasing, but not like it as it made my touch screen unresponsive, then I ordered SPIGEN ultra crystal (eBay), and use it for almost 4 months. It is a great screen protector, although it kind of slippery when using S-pen. Unfortunately, my Note is dead, and they replaced my screen.

So, this is my review for Blind Screen 4-way privacy screen:

pros:

-almost 360 degrees anti spy protection.

-anti glare

-no reduction on touch screen sensitivity

-s-pen friendly, not slippery as clear sp.

cons:

-grainy look

-thick

-expensive (1 sp for $16, I can get 2 SPIGEN ultra crystal for that price)

Do you guys believe that JLG in fact offers impact protection? Is that kind of screen protector even possible?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SleepingOz:
Idk about the impact protection, but I don't recommend JLG. Had 2 of them and they both started to lift at the corners. The one I have on my Note II right now even has some weird patch-like scratches, that I have never ever experienced with any of my previous screen protector(cheap chinese ones included). Not to mention the aweful rainbow effect everyone complains about.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Macklessdaddy:
I'm so happy with my clarivue it's not even funny,so damn clear and won't scratch for nothing
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xperiaforme:
I know it is not perfect otherwise. If it had impact protection I would maybe consider it. But why don't all people have protectors with impact protection then and why do so many phones break, know what I mean? And these things are hard to prove to be honest, it is not like you are going to try smashing your phone to see if it works.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] marvelspires:
Clarivue robbed me. I bought a film the same arrived broken, I complained because packed bad product, they said that they sent never arrived (I'm sure not sent). I complained, they said that they would send another, in the meantime ordered a Chinese arrived very well packed and the clarivue never arrived. To me they are bandits, lost $ 45 on this game. Extremely disappointed.

And I found the Chinese very similar to clarivue, including air bubbles that wrap around as a friend already quoted here in the forum. And it cost only $ 15. If the Chinese would not be this bubble around the edges, I would stay with her ​​anyway, great protection, great touch. If it were a little smaller as the Seidio, would be perfect.

bought the Seidio.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xperiaforme:
Nothing on Amazon reviews about impact protection. It is not proved I would say. Can noone comment?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Clarivue hosed me too. Got a horribly defective glass protector that they wouldn't change out unless I shipped it back to Canada on my own dime. When I mentioned that I've never had a company force the customer to pay for return shipping on a defective product they stopped responding to me. I will never but another product from then again and would caution everyone else to avoid them as well

I recently purchased the iSmooth hd screen protectors and have to say very impressed so far. No orange peel effect or screen degradation. Also included is a huge micro fiber cleaning cloth (larger than our phones) which is much appreciated. Keep in mind too they also give you a chance to enter their review program which entails them sending you free products to review.

Update: after couple of months of using same iSmooth screen protector, there's only one tiny dent (not visible) and no visible scratch so far.

Other reason why I have really enjoyed the iSmooth is it doesn't really feel like anything is on the screen at all.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
Just my 2 cents, first I installed an Explosion Proof TG protector, it was ok but too big and would lift all around :(. I tried to sand the edges with my belt sander but used the wrong grit paper and cracked it :crying:. Then I installed a Seidio Vitreo which is currently on. Great! love it, at first I though the edges were also lifting from the display out, however it seems that the edges are rounded on both side since that "lifting" follows’ the cut outs but doesn’t affect the look as it is visible only in certain angles. I also got a TG flex of ebay (actual make escapes me) as a spare, should something happen to my Vitreo. It has the same dimensions as the Vitreo but thinner, I was tempted to remove the Vitreo to try it but opted to order one for my son's SGS3 and see how it fits. The Vitreo and the Case-Mate Though is a great combo :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
I'm sorry, but could you provide a link to the 'Explosion Proof TG Protector' that you mentioned. Would like to see the kind of protector it is, that would make you consider/conduct a sanding down of its edges with a belt sander.

I've had the SGP Ultra Crystal which has done an outstanding job, whilst maintaining clarity and its oleophobic coating (which has now disappeared). That said, I've just installed a Seidio Vitreo (wanted to try it out) and it's pretty remarkable. There is this tiny speck of dust, that managed to sneak its way in during installation, but it's so minuscule, you'd have to double check it in sufficient light.
