Why don't you contact their customer support instead? They do offer lifetime guarantee, so if you are not happy or something doesn't work as expected - from my experience these guys will go above and beyond to fix it.

+1 for iSmooth protectors. I think I may have the old ones (very faint light green tinted back covers) but applied them after I was using a full body zagg equivalent protector. It was very easy to apply and was bubble free. I did have a few dust particles under the screen that weren't apparent when applying it but they were easily removed with the provided stickers. As one other poster said it actually improves the smoothness of the stock screen so that's a bonus. There are no marks left when using the S-Pen and it gives a nice polished finish to the phone.

Overall I'm impressed as the clarity of the protector is top notch. You do not notice any distortion or grain on top of your screen. Only one minor complaint is it does show up some finger prints but they are easily removed. In fact it shows much less finger prints and smudges compared to the naked screen. Highly recommended considering it was only £9 equivalent for me to get it shipped from the US to UK. You get a large screen cleaning cloth and three of these protectors with life time warranty. It's a no brainer get the iSmooth and be happy like I am :)

how is ismooth protector, it goes edge to edge or there are still 1-2 mm not coverede on the edges?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
There is still a 1-2mm edge but I use my case with an Aluminium bumper so those edges are pretty much un-noticed. To be honest you only see it if you look for it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] noris08:
thank you!

in that case i will still keep my xtreme guard full body protector. it goes edge to edge, it's clear and it has wet application, which give the possibility to align it perfectly and it's very cheap for the quality it offers
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pepeto2001:
Where did you buy it?

I dont find any site who sends it to europe (spain).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
Maybe but I wasn't happy with the ever so slightly grain on the protector (I had an equivalent one) but with the iSmooth you notice NOTHING. It's that clear. Plus I don't have any marks when using the S-Pen and it's very smooth to touch. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borijess:
Still 1 to 2mm not covered.

Has anyone seen this kickstarter screen protector product? I am thinking I might have to order one although it wont be here in quite some time http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...mpact-resistant-screen-protector?ref=category
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
All of them have a cut with some margin. Visible part of the screen glass is covered, while bezel is not to the edge. If you have a case with a decent lip, it will push on the edge of the screen protector and will lift it up if its too close to the edge. The only thing that I don't understand when they have a huge cut around Home button. Edges, that's understandable, but home button big cutout is annoying. Take Spigen for example, it has a thick quality (3H rated film) but a cut around home button too big and you actually feel it as you slide the finger across from the film part to the phone part. I know your finger is constantly in that area hitting Home button or sliding on menu or return.

That's why I like iSmooth cut while still being a thick film

they ship them from US and it arrive to Europe, in my case Romania, in about 7-8 days. i bought from them 3 times and each time the delivery has been like that.

i used the same full body protector on my former samsung s3 with a back case, and no, the screen protector did not lift on any of the edges. i don't know how hard do you guys press the stylus on the screen, but i don't have any noticeable scratches yet. i belive it's a decent protector for the price they ask.:)

Shipitto can send it to Australia for *8.50 + $2 postage so they could probably do something similar for Europe. Slow and double the price though :\

It looks amazing! It would be great if it is S-pen friendly. I am thinking about pledging for one. If it is as great as they show, we should spread the word so their campaign would be successful.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IsolatedAbyss:
How does the iSmooth compare to Spigen? The reviews sound amazing and it's probably something I would try if I had not bought Spigen. My SPG Ultra Crystal is still spotless (not even a micro scratch unless my eyesight failed me) after 3 months of use. Looks like it will last my Note 2's entire lifespan and I even got a spare one cause it came in 2 per pack.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mekki99:
I am also wondering which one is better. I've read a ton of positive reviews of both of them and it seems that both are great products. I am probably going to buy iSmooth because of price (3 SP for 10$ vs. 2 SGP for 15$) and giant microfibre cloth. But if somebody will prove that SGP is superior I would buy their SP.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
Another thing I will say in iSmooth favor is with a squeegee you can pick up the edge of the protector and re-position it without pulling or warping the protector. That's how I was able to remove those teeny bits of dirt out from under it and get a perfect fit :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HKSpeed:
I have this screen protector from ebay, which now seems to be sold out. It's much thicker than the generic ones I used over the past several years. The seller claims it is glass, but I think it is just thick plastic.

Cons:

lint magnet

makes phone slightly thicker/bulkier

touch screen & S pen sensitivity is slightly reduced

no less scratch resistant than other plastic screen protectors. I got 2 tiny scratches marks on it when I recently dropped the phone on cement and landed face down. Phone is fine, but raised screen surface negates the screen protection lip of my Speck case.

Pros:

super clear. no discoloration or artifacts

repels oil/grease marks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
I have this "bulletproof glass" screen protector. Works great except for the black has glitter so it looks a little girly. I love the glass feel though, feels even smoother than the screen, with no s-pen or touch hindrance.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ElAguila:
If anybody has one of the bodyguardz pure glass screen protector I would be interested in knowing how well it fits on the screen.

Update: With all of the discounts available today I went ahead and ordered one. I was hesitant because of my bad experience with the Glas.t on the original Note. I will post a review here when it comes in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CTR01:
Is it possible to add a poll to this or somewhere so we can aggregate all the data in easier to see way, albeit would only show product popularity which on xda would hopefully be from quality of product.

I know for me I'm debating between the iSmooth or the MobC Fine Oleophobic. I feel more inclined to get the iSmooth since it comes with 3 protectors and has 433 reviews @ ~4.5 stars vs the MobC with 177 reviews @ ~4 stars. Price difference is about $2-3 and I have PRIME free 2 day shipping.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aboalghool:
i don't know guys but i think the screen is in good position without the protector...

isn't the screen scratch proof?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
I'm glad that SSHGuru guy is finally out of a thread like this. Makes everything seem much better. Less brainwashing and more real consumer reviews.

My other JLG protector became piss poor. Perfect install, 1 month down the line, I got 3 bubbles around the screen. Microscratches everywhere, waste of money!

stay away
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Hardly, it's still a plastic polymer, it's very scratch resistant but take some keys, or a diamond ring and it'll scratch very easy.

While I love my SGP Ultra Crystal, I've already scratched both of them and am now going with a glass SP :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
Once you go glass, you'll never go back ;)

If you want to use your cases you most likely have now, the MIME protector doesn't go all the way to the edges. If you want a SP that goes all the way to the edges, I recommend either the voyager 2 or the one on eBay that I linked a couple pages back. The voyager and the eBay one are colored black around the edges as well as being adhesive only on the black part, and the MIME is clear and fully adhesive throughout.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Couldn't agree more on all your points. Glad he was asked NOT to post on here anymore with regards to his product. And, I agree that the JLG product is not very good. Initially, I actually defended it as a good product, but, within about a month of having it on, I had to take it off cause of all the scratches, and the like. Not a good product.

For those with iSmooth protectors, does yours have the rainbow effect when you look at it via certain angles? Mine sure does... I do like the fit and the ease of removing any dust particles with the dust removal stickers, managed to get a perfect installation in about 5 minutes however the rainbow effect is starting to bother me.... :(

Never understood a screen protector on gorilla glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] laztpn0i:
For some people including myself. I'ts just cheap insurance than replacing a scratched up bare screen. It only takes one grain of sand to scratch up gorilla glass. It is not scratch proof.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
You will understand it when you scratch your screen. Gorilla glass isn't nearly as scratch resistant as the manufacturer would have you believe. My wife had a very noticeable scratch on her screen within the first 30 days of use, and without having dropped it. Normal wear and tear, of putting it into and out of her pocket. This is, of course, before we decided to put on screen protectors.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I have learned a lesson.

I let S3 screen bare and I found few barely visible scratches.

Putting screen protector is like putting jacket on to stay warm under cold weather.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
There is a very common misconception that Gorilla Glass is scratch proof. It's not. Trust me. It may or may not be more scratch resistant than regular glass (it probably is more scratch resistant) but, it's certainly NOT scratch proof. In fact, it doesn't take all that much effort to scratch it. With a 5.5" screen, I can all but guarantee that anyone and everyone will have scratching on it (in varying degrees) within the first 30-60 days of normal, everyday use.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donec:
I put a screen protector on my Note 2 to give the screen a little tooth so the s-pen feels a little more like it is writing on paper and to reduce glare.

Are there any cheaper alternatives full body protection that cover the entire bezel / side Note 2?

I found out that Skinomi and Spigen Incredible Shield has this.

Ghost Armor only protect some of the bezel, not entirely.

The problem, Skinomi doesn't ship to my country.

Spigen Incredible Shield is expensive (I already put protector to back and front, I only need the bezel / side protector).

Any recommendation?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Just got my MIME in and installed. Very nice packaging on this SP. I'm enjoying it so far with one caviat, it hasn't "stuck" on the edges and around the home button yet. Besides that it looks good and feels great! I'm surprised it feels slicker than my JLG did or my SGP. I suppose nothing feels like glass more than glass lol.

Just installed my iSmooth screen protector. Installation was really easy. I noticed the spen doesn't slide as smooth as I thought. When im using s note and drawing or writing, I really need to press a bit hard or it wont write at all. Anyone else notice this with the iSmooth compared to not having a screen protector?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] netsyd:
Just the Bodyguardz Pure in today (bought it on sale as well). I'll write up a review at some point soon - but I figured I could at least attach a couple pictures so everyone could see how it fits.

I was a little concerned that it didn't cover enough, but after writing a bit with the Spen and swiping out some emails with Swiftkey - I didn't run in to (or over) the edge of the protector once. I also stuck mine down a little left of center. Not by much though. Make sure you line it up right since there isn't much room to screw up or you cover the front facing camera.

I will also say .. anyone buying a screen protector to add some "grip" to the screen so it feels more like writing on paper, this isn't the one for you. The Spen and your finger slide over this thing like they're on ice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] T.J. Bender:
Just installed an iSmooth. Not thrilled, honestly. There's an orange peel/rainbow when viewed at an angle. Strongly considering ordering a Spigen (my previous protector)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] layziebone:
PLEASE DISREGARD WHAT I ORIGINALLY POSTED.

After several hours from installing the iSmooth SP and writing my post, I can actually say now that the sPen slides sooo smoothly with this SP. I think it just needed sometime to for the SP to adjust with the screen.

So for those who have just installed the iSmooth, give it a few hours and that rubbery feel will go away.

A lot of hate here for JLG it seems.

Put me as one of the customers satisfied overall with my JLG. I had 3 defective ones (small glue bubble or what not) and every time I asked nicely for a replacement it was sent to me no questions asked. Usually came within 2-3 business days. Allison and Scott were very polite and cordial so no complaints on customer service from them here.

I have been noticing some weird S-Pen behavior, not sure if it's due to my JLG or not as it was fine before but I don't feel like peeling it off just to test and having to buy a new protector.

I think the only other protectors that interest me currently are the Mime glass protector and the kickstarter Rhino shield.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] T.J. Bender:
To update, the "orange peel" seems to have disappeared from the iSmooth, and it's got a very nice feel to it. It's not sealed quite right at the top, though, which is a disappointment.

Are the Screen Guards needed on this phone

Hi Everyone, I am looking to get a Note 2 in the next month or so, upgrading from my X2. I purchased a case, but was wondering if the screen guards are needed, or if they will just get in the way, and become more trouble then they are worth. My current phone has a life time screen guard from My Bull Frog. I pay something close to 12 bucks for a screen guard with a lifetime wareenty, If it becomes dirty, scratched, or ugly, they will replace it. I got it when I was working for the cable company, working outside alot, but now I work in an office, and am not sure if I should get one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AlphaNoble:
Thanks. I was looking for that one and I couldn't find it and I thought that maybe it got removed since it was about a sp and not in this thread.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AC2020x:
Ismooth is amazing... Can't even tell it is on my note 2. It was a bit stick for the first hour or two but after that amazing! Highly recommend. Originally I was thinking no to any screen protector cause I love the feel of the screen... But, it's protection is important to me so I got ismooth hd screen protector and now can't tell the difference.. For more details on it, just look at some previous posts.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aeo 37:
I just got a replacement set from iSmooth. The original one I got from them started to lift from the bottom, seem like the sp was cut to big on it?

The replacement set fits perfectly.Can't believe what a difference it is from the first batch I got.

Also, they were and very quick to reply and send out the new ones.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
What batch did you get? I just got some in and they're lifting at both the top AND the bottom. I'm very disappointed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] layziebone:
Theres 2 batches. The first batch they send has the green film. When they send you the free SP, it comes with a clear film. So the free SP is the better batch.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
Hmm I've got the clear ones... Well at least I have one more in the pack to try to see if it's just one faulty protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
I broke down and ordered ismooth... Only ordered it to see what all the fuss was. I was really happy with Scotts JLG but ismooth may have won me over. It really does have a different feel to it. The cut is great but I can't get over how it feels.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ohiwastedmylife:
Do not buy the Just Like Glass protector. I read all the good reviews and saw his videos saying that it wont scratch so I decided to buy one. Product was delivered damaged for starters. The protector supposedly is S Pen friendly but actually scratches extremely easily with the pen. My screen now has hundreds of lines all over it from the protector, it looks like garbage. There is a horrible rainbow effect from the small scratches and it makes me want to not even use the protector at the moment.

How is the iSmooth with S Pen scratch resistance?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
I'll tell you this. Over a month with my ismooth on and it seems like it's even better.

I'm a heavy spen user and there isn't as much as a scuff.

It's as smooth if not smoother than the glass.

I also had a eperience with the JLG. Absolute garbage Imo.

I have Ismooth and love it. Got it on amazon. 3 protectors, great instructions, large cleaning cloth. dust removers ect. Everything you will need. And a warranty.

After an hour, felt just like the origional glass to me. A bit sticky for the first 5-10 mins of use.

i have tried different water base and film base. Handown ismooth is the winner. This thing even though is film is hard to get scratch on plus you get lifetime warranty WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF RESHIPPING YOUR OLD FILM BACK OR PAY FOR REPLAMENT SHIPPING. I have use Skinomi and zagg HD much prefer ismooth and actually make the touch screen much more fluid. The only way to notice is on is to look around the edges cause this things is invisible.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] paulyness:
I apologise if this has been asked before or if I'm asking this in the incorrect thread but I got few results when searching.

I have a month old Note 2 and it appears that using SwiftKey as my default mode of input has literally worn away some sort of coating on the screen. Where I swipe my thumb, it has become awfully greasy and rainbow-like. Has anybody else experienced this? It's driving me rather insane :confused:

I presume that a good screen protector is going to be the answer to my problem. What would you guys recommend for something durable against grease, scratches and S Pen marks but still as crystal clear as possible? I had a protector put on by a place called SkinJam here in South Africa and the haze was absolutely unbearable. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gordonzhao:
Clean your fingers before using? Sounds like you had residue or traces of a substance stronger than the gorilla glass which caused the wear on the screen.

As far as the ismooth is it as smooth as the naked screen? I really dread zaggs and their orange peel like texture.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] layziebone:
iSmooth is what I would recommend. The main reason I got iSmooth is because of their lifetime guarantee. The quality of the SP is just a bonus for me.
