Yep.

The first one I received (inside 2 padded envelopes and the box) was broken, so I had the chance to abuse it a little...

It's light and brittle, breaks easily when pressure applied from both sides (but that can't happen when installed on phone.)

It's scratch resistance is adequate IMO, certainly better than any plastic.

But in any case, better have it absorb some damage instead of the phone, in the case of direct hit.

I now use the replacement with an over-the-edge style cover to really feel safe. It also comes close to the glass's edges, so aesthetically the 0.25mm of unstickyness doesn't bother much.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crkdslider:
Ok guys, here are a few pictures I took for you to see. I'm very pleased, and the scratch resistance for me seems to be quite sturdy. I took a key to it, as well as ran it across my wooden deck floor in the backyard to test it when I got it. It's very clean.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Wish my edges had stayed down like that. I still think I may have gotten a defective one. I would have happily tried another had Clarivue customer service completely stopped responding to me. Instead they chose to just ignore me and the problem rather than acting like a responsible company
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crkdslider:
Honestly, reading all these comments I was paranoid about the edges, so I cleaned a table at work, put the screen face down on the table, covered the phone with a micro fiber cloth, and put a couple of heavy boxes on top to pack down those edges. It worked well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Airliveman:
I buy it net moth, becouse it is a good alternativ to the normal screen protectors. its much better....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chima2:
Seidio glass

I just saw this video review posted in april (bottom of post, remove the spaces). Guy says the screen protector is tapered :D Still looking at the Bodyguardz, as people seem to have good things to say about it despite the edges/curvature of the phone. But if the Seidio is tapered, that's a wrap for me I think. Will look around a bit more, though I don't think there are any other brands.

Also, this is minimal but note that the Clarivue is 0.3 mm thick, the Bodyguardz is 0.4 mm thick and the Seidio is 0.5 mm. Clarivue is the least expensive, Bodyguards the most expensive (44.95, I believe) and Seidio in the middle at 39.95.

Finally, anyone heard of the 'just like glass' protector? Apparently, there's a rainbow effect there that sounds a little... less than stellar for my vain self. Do a search for Just Like Glass Screen Protector on Amazon, top reviewer is from XDA and gave us the lowdown. Anyone tried this? Can't find the thread here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pyr0x64:
Just Like Glass is a DBA cases product: http://www.dbacases.com/just-like-glass.html

I first read about them in the Galaxy S3 forum thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1878403

I did have a JLG on my Note2 for a while until it got scuffed up and I replaced it with a Clarivue glass protector.

Yes the JLG did have the rainbow effect when the screen was turned off, but it was not noticeable when the screen was on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MizT:
Are the glass edges on the clarivue considered curved or straight?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Chima2:
No, they are not curved. If you check their website they make note of the fact that the protector is smaller now due to the curved screen, this is probably the new model others were discussing back. Smaller protector makes sense, as the user I'm quoting below said as it won't crack as easily from the imposed bend and won't lift from the screen due to the curves at the perimter.

I've decided to go with the Bodyguardz due to their price (shipping is a main factor as I'm in europe), the reviews read and their replacement program.

One of our fellow members at XDA wrote short note on his n7100 and iPad experience with the Pure Glass in a review. I'm a noob, so I can't link but here's a hint isource.c om/2013/03/22/bodyguardz-pure/

We PM'ed, and he had this to say about my specific questions about curved permiter/liftage, chippage and longevity:

"After a couple months of not caring how I treated the screen ... 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. (...) The protector tends to be a bit smaller than the screen (so it would perform well with a bumper case for example)... given that smaller than screen size it doesn't curve with the glass. Honestly I never noticed a problem with that at all. I also never experienced any chipping. I had the phone in my bag, in my pocket, on desks, passenger seats, and even a couple unplanned but very short drops... no complaints. I'd take a picture for you but I traded out the N2 for an S4 last week.

And yes - I'll likely end up buying a Pure for the S4 as well."

Thanks to OP and all other input, it's been invaluable for my research in choosing the right one for me.

Just got mine delivered yesterday and must say it feels and looks great. Got it for $19.99 delivered (£13.82 ) to the uk which us a very good price. Used the hinge method to install it in the centre and issues so far
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lickarock:
Just got mine in. Tried to install it their way and i had all kinds of bubbles. So i took it back off, sprayed a spritz of alcohol on the back side, laid it back down, and slowly worked out most of the alcohol. Then I took a blow dryer to it. Worked out WONDERFULLY. Just be careful if you try to do it that way... that thing will slide around on you like crazy until you get the alcohol out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fylim:
Folks my N2 grey glass had a chip at the bottom right corner. Amoled Screen is not affected as chip is within grey area.

Is there any glass screen protector that covers entire screen? I have seen some pics that seems to come with even the grey edges but most seem to state that it is smaller than screen and covers only flat area.

I know there are complete glass layer replacement methos but didn't thought it was worth embarking on that yet.

Pls share your thoughts. Tq
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Short answer...No
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Xgear Voyager 2 covers around entire screen and so does icasegear. You can also choose different color borders with both. Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
True, I forgot about the Xgear. Although, I've read far more bad reviews than good, so I don't know if I would try them
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Update. I ordered received in 2 days and installed the xgear v2. I love it compared to the Bodyguards as a matter of fact it blows away the bodyguarz in the looks department. Everything else seems to be the same. Would definitely recommend over Bodyguardz and its $15 cheaper.

Do you remember what the bad was you read about the xgear?

GN II / TAP II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Couple things. Edges not staying down. Edges chipping because of that. Grid on the screen. Glue residue
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Thanks. I checked my edges after reading this and they are fine. I even went around the edge with a plastic toothpick yo make sure. If you mean edges come up after a while then i guess time will tell since i only have it on for a day or two. That also may be do to tje applicant. I see a lot of people have trouble installing protectors correctly but dont understand it because if you take your time it will b perfect. I havent had a bubble in the past 6 installs.

Not sure about glue residue as i dont have any maybe you mean after you take it off? Hopefully i wont find out for a long time.

As for the grid lol it drove me crazy trying to figure out what it was when i first saw it. It is very hard to see you have to hold your phone totally sideways to see it so it doesnt bother me at all. The only thing i dont like so far is i have trouble using the keys on the far right of the keypad, but i also had this issue even more with bodyguardz. I wonder if this is with all glass protectors?

Again thanx for sharing that info.

GN II / TAP II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
How in the hell does it stick at the edges? Is it contoured like the screen? It wasn't because of the application, but the fact that the screen is curved and the protectors are flat. The consensus was that the color around the edges was to hide the fact they weren't down.

Yes, glue residue after removing

The grid is more personal preference.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Maybe thats why the glue residue when taken off? The glue helps it stick around the edges. Ill post a pick of mine later to show how it looks with and without case.

GN II / TAP II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Confused though. Glass won't bend like that unless it is made contoured. One of the known issues with every glass protector
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
You got me. I did notice that the xgear is substantialy thinner than the bodyguardz was which may help a little when shaping to the curve. Mine is stuck fine on the corners but maybe the people who are having these issues are having them after some time? Ill keep an eye on it.

I also ordedred the icasegear for my wifes S3 and wanted it for my note also but they were out so i tryed xgear. Should be in next week then ill have something to compare to side by side.

clarivue fu ** me, I bought the same arrived broken, I asked the exchange told they would send another but I guess I never sent it never arrived, I complained again they said they would send another and I'm waiting. I think it will not send me another. I lost $ 45.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Read back a little bit about my run in with their horrendous customer service. At some point they will just stop responding to you. Even if the product was amazing, which it is not, i would stop dealing with them
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Here are some pics of the xgear voyager 2 on my phone as promised. So far no issues with it as mentioned in post above. I did receive the i case gear for my wife's s3 and the install scared me. It had some bubbles which has never happened to me before but after leaving it for a day it's all clear and looks beautiful.

So far I have installed Bodyguardz Xgear and I case gear. In my opinion the i case gear is the best out of the 3 I mentioned. It covers the entire screen and the button sensitivity when typing is not compromised at all as is with the other 2. Bodyguardz comes in 3 place.

Guys I'm sorry if this post doesn't belong here I somehow wound up on this thread when I was searching different protectors.

Anyway as of now I case gear hands down. I will order one for my phone as soon as it is available.

I checked my phone as per question 2. It is in fact the I747UCDLK3. But my Android is 4.1.1 and all the roms say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. Are these the after effect of installing a rom or are they running a newer version prior to installing the rom? My phone is AT&T Galaxy 3 S I747.

According to the interview with the developers on Reddit, you can turn off the secure boot loader in the surface pro. this is awsome news!

Like other Windows 8 machines, you can access BIOS settings and turn off secure boot, enabling you to load other OSes.

Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)

My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)

Please help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] M8tor:
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Have you tried erase SD card from your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MiVSky:
Internal SD Card or External? If external, yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
You are having problem with external, right? Yea, external. Can you mount it afterward?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MiVSky:
Yes, I can mount.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MiVSky:
I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.

But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

That is what I have used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:

I have a problem with the Kno app. It did not come preinstalled on my note 10.1 N8000. So, I went ahead and downloaded from the google play store, then the problem. Problem was that I cannot properly use the kno app to its full potential, the pen layer is missing and a whole lot of problems. I called Kno and they told me that the app from the google play store is not optimized for the note 10.1 and I have to get it from the samsung app store, so, I went to the app store but did not find the app there. Right now, I can read books on the kno app from the google play store, highlight, put some post it note and the journal, BUT, for the pen layer and other functions, it's not available. The app is just useless if I cannot write on it because then, it won't be like my textbook because I cannot write my little anecdotes on the sides. Any help would be appreciated. thanks:D

You will need someone to extract the apk from a rooted note. I would, but I didn't root this tablet yet. It isn't a paid program, so I don't forsee a problem. Although I would expect that updating your Talley to jb, would have added on the program if you didn't have it,.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyx13:
I already updated to 4.1.1 JB using the germany Rom. It still wasnt there and I had to download from the google play store. When you get to root yours, will you extract it for me? I dont know how to extract apk. Thanks for the info:)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
It's quite a useful app, especially for students! Helps me save backpack space, lol.

Here ya go. Copy to System>App folder and change permissions, or try installing it normally. After you install it, If it isn't working properly, you'll have to edit your build.prop to make it as a Note 8013.

How do I fix my build.prop? Sorry if I'm really noobie with the android. And, If I do change it to Note 8013, what will happen to my note n8000? What is the pros and cons?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyx13:
BTW, is your tablet an N8000 too? or do you have the n8013? what firmware are you using? Is it gonna be a big difference that I am using the Germany ROM for JB?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
I'm using the official 4.1.2 USA ROM, deodexed on the n8013. The best way to find out is to install it and let us know what happens.

What does deodexed mean? anyway, it did not work, an error showed and told me that it is only for use with the kindle fire only
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
That's a good question xD but I think it has something to do with making the ROM smaller and/or making its components easily accessible. Don't quote me on that >.>

Ok, so you have to edit your build.prop. Are you rooted?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyx13:
nope, I am not rooted. What will changing the build.prop do to my tablet?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
Editing your build.prop will make programs think your device is another device. In this case, it won't have many or any cons since you're just editing it to make it look like another Galaxy Note 10.1 device; very minor change. You want to use a File Manager to goto System and copy build.prop somewhere to your SD Card. For extra safety, make two extra copies. You should also do a ClockWork recovery BACKUP first just in case something goes wrong. I don't think it will though...*crosses fingers* >.>

Open the build.prop on your SD with a text editor like the Dropbox Text Editor. You want to change the following lines to look like this:

ro.product.model=GT-N8013

ro.product.name=p4notewifiue

ro.product.device=p4notewifi

Reboot your device and you should be good to go

If anything goes wrong, restore your backup in recovery or if the device still boots but with errors, copy the original build.prop back to system folder

Basically, easiest solution would be someone with a stock ROM, but rooted with titanium backup, extract the program into an apk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyx13:
thats actually what I was looking for, someone with the stock rom. Because the people at Kno told me that the problem is that the one from the google play store is not yet optimized for the galaxy note 10.1. He said that the special apps were pre installed on the n8013 galaxy note that are sold here in the US. So, yes, If a kindhearted soul who has a rooted n8013 with the pre-installed KNO textbooks app could upload their apk file, I would forever be in your debt...I really need this to work because my NCLEX exams are coming up and I was hoping that for the review, I don't have to bring like tons of REALLY thick nursing books with me to the review.

That is the exact apk I am using with the S-Pen features. It is 100% stock Samsung. If it doesn't work, it's because you're on the n800, and not the n8013. That's why I said u have to edit ur build.prop. If it works, then good lol.
