MobC Oleophobic Screen Protector from Korea

The only screen protector I have applied on my Note 2 is the one that came with my MobC Marsh Melo Case.

The Marsh Melo Case is a slim, matte TPU case and has a great feel to it.

The case came with an oleophobic screen protector. They call it the MobC Screen Protector HD Film-Fine Oleophobic Screenguard.At first, I was hesitant to try oleophobic screen protectors in general, thinking it may degrade the screen quality and vibrancy of the Note 2. Fortunately, it had no effect on the screen clarity and kept away fingerprints off the screen. It doesn't scratch up as easily as the clear cheap screen protectors I got from eBay for my other phone.

So yeah, I highly recommend it.

Here's an eBay link in case you guys are interested.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] paulyness:
I'm not too sure what is causing the wear as I've been habitually washing my hands before using my device ever since. My last guess is that it's some sort of residue left from all the products and chems. I have to use all day in my salon and I can't avoid that so I'm hoping the screen protector helps.

I will definitely give iSmooth a try. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find them around here but if I could find a site offering international delivery that would be great.

I'm new to xda so I'm still getting familiar. I think I may have thanked both of your replies multiple times accidentally.

Just wanted to add my experience with the JLG after 3 months of use. At first I loved it once the haze cleared up, no bubbles and no lifting at the edges. Only thing I didn't like was the rainbow affect under florescent lights, but since it was only visible with the screen off I accepted it. However, about a week ago I noticed a tiny bubble form in the lower middle of the screen. I tried pushing it back down but it would eventually come back up. I left it alone since it was tiny and didn't really affect the screen viewing. Now last night, there are 4 additional large bubbles coming up in the lower middle/right of the screen that will not go back down. I can't recommend JLG anymore as it seems to be having adhesion issues and it seems like from reading this thread I'm not the only one having this problem. I'll have to look elsewhere now for a new SP, sounds like the iSmooth is worth checking out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Yep, and TBH Scott's customer service has gone down the hill. I read a post where he was offering refunds to those bothered by the rainbow haze issue, I sent him an email (which must be at least a month or two now) and 0 reply.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] layziebone:
You can purchase iSmooth SP from Amazon. There is an option for international shipping. I used that option since I'm not from the US.

Hello guys, I'm new here and I just bought a Galaxy Note 2.

For protection I ordered a Clarivue Screen Protector (UltraClear) and I didn't apply it yet, but so far, I didn't like it.

It didn't fit on my cell phone, it is too small.. I tried to upload a picture, but it is not allowed..

Anyone had this problem with Clarivue?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
How small is too small? Keep in mind, no SP will go to the very edge. The curved glass of the screen makes it nearly impossible to get them to stick over there. There's generally a 1-2mm gap all around the edges. This is a good thing if you want a case, as most of them overlap the bezel a little and will peel up a SP that's up on the edge like that. I had that problem on a previous phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
This is normal.

The only way to get one that doesn't leave a gap is to buy the voyager 2 (glass), some eBay protectors (also mainly glass), or the moshi ivisor (which is anti glare)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] noobhero:
just to share some pics of the chinese tempered glass

imo those photos dun do enough justice to the protector
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] premiatul:

I've been using Xtremeguard on my Note 2 for a few months now.

http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-II-N7100-Screen-Protectors-p/galaxy-note-2-screen-protector.htm

I like the feel much better then Zag and some other brands I've used on other devices, and it hold up much better then more expensive brands I tried against big and little things that float around in my pockets

Pros:

Cheap, I got the full body on Amazon for about $12

Feels smooth but not overly so, so it's easier to hold the Note but doesn't get in the way of swiping on screen, gaming, or using the Spen

Very durable, my phone goes in and out of pockets with key, pens, box knives, etc and it's still in great condition

Cons:

It's wet apply, so get it right the first time, otherwise clairty drops and it becomes far to easy to peel off. Though it can be cleaned and reapplied (it's just a pain to do)

Oil and dust magnet

Overall a 8/10

I went with it cause I liked it on my Echo, still like it on my Note and will probably us it on my next device too (Note 3:D)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
On their website there's a coupon code 75off. I got a full body for 2.50, shipping will probably take 5 days but whatever, it's worth it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I ordered "back only" protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gordonzhao:
The thing with 'unbreakable' or impact resistant is so bs. Yes it's hardened glass but the impact transfers directly to the glass. As there isn't a gap between the phone screen and the screen protector so hitting the phone with a hammer is stupid as I bet if the screen protector doesn't crack the glass screen will. Which is why I wouldn't buy a sp who's main ad is impact resistant, I'd stick with ones that day scratch resistant since that would be the main focus any screen protector should be designed to do. From experience, Zagg is crap, orange peel texture and isn't always resilient, had a customer come in to replace it as his spen left marks that didn't smooth out. Ebay generics are decent for the purpose $2-3 for a few protectors, the annoyance with this is that you have to change it out every month or so if you want that pristine look. Still on the hunt for a brand that actually offers scratch resistance and stick to what they advertise.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] T.J. Bender:
Changing my review on iSmooth, once I emailed them about the peeling, they shipped a new set of protectors with a different cut out to me (clear wrap instead of green). Put one on last night, which took me 10 minutes in a steamy bathroom for a perfect install. No signs of peeling anywhere, and no rainbow to speak of. Very happy with it thus far.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tony yayo:
I bought the green ones on amazon and they worked pretty well but they sent me the clear-backed ones for leaving an amazon review. almost tempted to yank the green-backed one off and throw a clear one on now.

informative thread
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eXtreme Burrito!:
I really don't blame him for that.

He posts on an enthusiast message board offering customer service on his own time (which isn't even required in the first place), stands behind his product, offers replacements for people who botched their installs (no fault of his own) at a reduced cost.

Reading the thread...The guy kinda got tugged on in all directions from people who were constantly asking for help. I'm amazed he kept up as long as he did.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Cablespider:
Based on the recommendations here, I bought an iSmooth pack (clear wrap).

Being a first time installer, I was nervous. I used the steamy bathroom method. Once lined up, and I began the pull, the SP attached quickly and laid down perfectly. No bubbles or a speck of dust. The clarity is top notch. The feel is smooth like the glass underneath. End to end, the SP looks great.

Once again, I'm using a product based on feedback from this forum, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to you all. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TMPOOLE:
Another vote for the ISmooth

I bought the Ismooth on Amazon as well. First installation was flawless. Easiest SP I've ever installed. I didn't even get an airbubble that lingered after installation. I really like the look of the glass protectors, but until they make any that adhere completely around the sides, I'll stick with this.

This is the best SP I've ever used/seen on any device, and my experience goes back a long way (Palm IIIc anyway).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xbltheshadow:
I bought the iSmooth screen protectors from Amazon when they were still in the green wrapping. After about a month I noticed two main issues. 1) The screen protector had begun lifting around the home button, 2) My hands are more oily than average and finger prints were seen easily (created a rainbow effect on the screen) and were very difficult to wipe off, even with their very nice cleaning cloth.

I contacted them to replace the protector, mainly because of the lifting (I figured the fingerprint issue would be the same with any protector), but I also heard others say the new batch was better with fingerprints, so I really wanted to try it before totally switching. They replaced the protector with no other questions and I got them in the mail 3 days later.

So far, after about a week of use, I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this newer version! Fingerprints still show on this protector, but the amount is greatly reduced and I have yet to see a rainbow effect from them. The screen quality is on par with the green batch, but the protector cut is slightly smaller, making installation slightly more tricky. Despite this, I was able to get a perfect installation on my second try!

Overall, I highly recommend this new iSmooth batch over any other protectors I have tried!

Been using the flip book case along with the anti-glare screen protector from Sprint (Pack includes 1 anti-glare and 2 regular screen protectors.) on my T-mo Note II (SGH-t889) for nearly five months now and hence dropped the plan of buying the otterbox since the existing setup is going strong for now. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AskinSavascisi:
does this:

Does the SPen scratch the Zagg Invisible Shield non HD / HD?

There's also a good option here:

Protects the screen and back. Seems a good option since a case makes ur phone looks too big. (... lol ...)

rly work?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Personally, I don't like Zagg protectors on touchscreens. They feel "sticky" when trying to slide your finger over them. The s-pen will probably leave little dents in it, depending on how hard you press. I doubt it would permanently mar it though. I use a six abundant case right now, just thin plastic. It's probably about as good in a drop as an invisible shield would be, unless the case pops off. The shield sticks, so I imagine it might win there.

They are in the malls and such all over the place here. If they have retail locations in your area, drop by and feel one up. See if you like it. Get your s-pen out and scribble on it. See if it leaves marks or makes the pen too draggy... Just because I would hate it, doesn't mean you would.

I used to use Zagg products on my click-wheel ipods and such. Tried it on a smartphone (G1) back in the day, and hated it. It's also possible they changed things around since then. From feeling the demo units at the movie theater where they have a little kiosk, I don't think so. They are pretty tough, the last iPod I bought looks mint still. I just don't like the feel on touch devices.

I use the SPIGEN Ultra Crystal (Seems popular and im sure someone reviewed it here)

But I also have a Ballistic case and the two are perfect. I needed a screen protector that doesn't quite go all the way around and this protector does exactly that!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nebenezer:
Tried the 3 for $12 screen protectors from the Verizon store.. meh

I ordered a Just Like Glass and was very optimistic based on many reviews. Install was a breeze... except for the three fibers that the included cloth left between the film and my screen. Post install went ok too... aside from the awful oil slick rainbow effect that's still here a week after installing.

Overall this screen protector is nearly an outstanding product but missed the mark in two very big ways for me. Why include a cleaning cloth that sheds fibers essentially ruining the installation of your own product? And it is beyond my comprehension how people are able to ignore the oily rainbow effect.

Ordered a couple films from Spigen, hopefully the SPG Ultra Crystal will be the last film I install on this device.

Hi, hopefully somebody can help me. I have rooted my Note 2 and installed CWM via ROM Manager. I have always done it this way with other phones, but this time when I reboot into recovery I have options missing - such as backup and restore. I am also unable to scroll down past any item that is visible.

I have flashed a different version of CWM via Mobile Odin but the problem remains. I have also attempted to install TWRP via Goomanager and Mobile Odin but whenever I reboot into Recovery I go straight to CWM with nothng having changed.

I'd be really grateful if someone can tell me where I'm going wrong. I don't want to flash any other ROM until I can backup my stock.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks again for any help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
This is stock recovery, not CWM

It means odin was not successfull

Can you describe the odin log?

here i repeat procedure

-Download said recovery (http://www.mediafire.com/file/imbzaau34u7ldeg/philz_touch_3.99-n7100-fixed.tar.md5)

-Open Odin and select PDA tab, then point to recovery (above said)

-Put device in download mode (vol down + home +power), then it will ask to press vol up to enter into recovery, do that

-connect device to PC and wait till ID COM port glows

-Flash

Let device boot normally

-Reboot to recovery and check, if it is same then post Odin log here

Then leave it for at least 10 min to boot. As it can take a while.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts.shay:
Completely up to you, mate. You just have to be very cautious when flashing things on your phone. You have to be very particular with the files you're downloading. Just ensure that everything's for your N7105. ^^
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishingfon:
Hi,

Glad you got it working.

It should be pretty safe to flash ROMs on it, just make sure they are for the N7105.

Always make a cwm backup, then u can just flash that to restore everything.

If you follow theses rules when flashing ROMs, they should boot fine most of the time:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache

Install ROM

Wipe data again

Wipe cache

Fix permissions

Custom ROMs are so much better then stock, so its a shame not to use them :p

Did you do a data/cache wipe when you installed CM nightly over the stock rom ? Maybe that's why it wouldn't boot up.

Anyway, don't be afraid of custom roms, if CM10.1 is what you'd rather use - try again and if something goes wrong - there's tons of people here who can help :)
