[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Burginthorn:
I am using the VITREO™ Tempered Glass Screen Guard from www.seidioonline.com for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105.

This is the 3rd screen protector I've tried and I'm very impressed with it.

Its expensive. At US$39.95 a pop, its not cheap. Comes with alcohol swap, microfiber cloth and a plastic card.

Installation I noticed two things - 1. The clear plastic covers (that cover the glass when you take it out of the box) are labeled 1. and 2. it is the label 2 that is the sticky side that you attach to the phone.

I don't know if this is normally the way its done, as the last two screen protectors I tried where the other way around. (just a heads up)

2. The install process is a little different. You take off the this plastic and align the glass to the phone. When its right you place it on and PRESS the center of the glass. What happens next is the adhesive does this little magical spread (starting in the middle where you pressed it) and slowly spreads out over the entire screen. Its pretty cool to watch ...

The plastic card that comes with package wasn't needed for install. After pressing the center of the glass, the adhesive pretty much spread over the entire glass with only the corners needing a little thumb pressure to finish the job.

Warning: I must advice that this screen protector is made of glass. The result (believe it or not) is quite a difference in phone weight. I know it sounds crazy that a thin layer of glass can add weight, but with the Note 2 already being a pretty hefty device, this glass protector does make a difference.

I don't know if there are some sort of optic enhancements involved in the manufacture of this glass screen protector, but crystal clear is an understatement. Compared to my last screen protector, it just doesn't come anywhere near the clarity of the Seidio.

As far as touch screen is concerned, absolutely no difference in touch sensitivity. Phone behaves just as is did previously.

Once installed I hesitantly tested out its biggest feature. The scratch test. It is advertised as being scratch resistant, so I grabbed my car keys and ran them (softly at first) across the glass. To my relief there were no scratches visible. I tried harder and harder and the results were the same. Don't misunderstand me, I didn't put full force of my hand into trying to scratch the glass. I simply don't trust it won't scratch, and I ain't going to waste money testing it. But placing the phone in my jeans pocket with car keys, jumping up and down, sitting and getting up and walking the length of my home a few times, the glass protector didn't have a single mark on it when inspected.

This alone, for me at least, is worth the price tag. Nothing worse than a fudged up screen. Peace of mind for pocket travel without having to stress about car keys and phone sharing the same pocket. Phew!

I'd dare say my hunt for the best screen protector is over at last. I'm not saying this is the best screen protector, I wouldn't know, I haven't tried them all. But from the one's I have tried, this absolutely trounces them hands down. Its pricey and if it didn't offer scratch resistance there'd be no way I'd be paying that sort of money. But with scratch resistance that works, I think its a good investment in keeping my phone protected.

All in all a pricey but good product, that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a screen protector. :good:
