I wonder how yours arrived today and mine is on back order yet I ordered it on 9-9.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

I have a pair left over from my GS4, and they fit the GN2 last year so I doubt they would be much different in size.

Thanks again for the promo code. I just ordered (2) of your ScreenMate Original's since Spigen is unable to deliver mine in a timely fashion I canceled my entire order with them.

Ordered glass 9/11 and the screen pro 9/9
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JawjaBill:
I had the iloome product on my S4 and pretty much forgot I had a screen protector installed.

I advise ordering Spigen products through Amazon as their considerably crappy customer service is legendary when dealing direct. Awesome products. Terrible customer service.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattias28:
Thanks for the discount. Ordered
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DMax99:
Are these better than the spigen?

I've just ordered too, but it was only a $2.50 discount, which is not that much.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattias28:
No idea but I thought it was worth trying. Online reviews of their product seem positive.

Spigen is too expensive IMO
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Sadly, my order was through Amazon.com, but Spigen was fulfilling it. So their in lies the rub. I canceled the order with Spigen, placed a new order for just the screen protectors (crystal clear ones) since Amazon was shipping those.

I am ordering other cases and tempered glass screen protectors from other vendors.

Compare the full retail price iLoome normally charges of $34.99 and they are actually selling them to us for they are actually taking $12.50 off and based on their specs they would be the same as Spigens quality and hardness of 9H.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JawjaBill:
Does the Screenmate for the Note 3 have rounded edges? The one on my S4 did not.

UPDATE: Yes, per the pic on their website.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kazozza:
So how much is shipping to Australia? I'm getting tired of websites wanting me to put in my credit card details before telling me what the final cost is going to be.

I'm not joining your mailing list, providing you with all my contact details and my credit card information, just to turn around and leave because shipping a $30 piece of glass is going to cost me an extra $45!

You're going to lose a lot of international business doing it that way, especially when US international shipping prices are such a joke!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grifter9931:
Thanks for the code, just ordered the ScreenMate Original...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] juku0022:
I had shopped there before, as I know they are offering excellent after sales service, did you sent them e-mail about this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DeathBlimp:
no i did not, maybe i should. i couldn't find their policy on returns but i ripped the packaging when i opened it lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] platinumrims:
I can't attest to their service but shoot them a message saying it cracked during installation. They may or may not replace it but I think they will.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] habs101:
I just got the screenmate H9

For some reason ... I dunno,,,, like it seems that the brightness is degraded maybe it is me..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] E4gt007:
Problem solved...

Was that Chicken soup with or without noodles? Beef stock? or did you go all out and use Consomme? Really? soup? why not use what they use for auto window tint, mild soap and water solution. sorry- dont mean to sound sarcastic- but thats too funny! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] arctic84:
I'm another person who picked up the Bearmotion tempered glass from amazon.

Great product for $13 from amazon.

Clear, perfect fitment, no scratches yet after a couple weeks of use.

Only gripe would be that the stylus will drag slightly on this product.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dscline:
Considering that there's only one letter difference between soup and soap, I'm thinking perhaps he actually did use soap. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] knocker235:
I saw yesterday screen protector issued by Samsung, did any one try it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] javier24:
Don't buy those cheap plastic screen protectors.

I'm using a tempered glass screen protector with my Note 3 and it's amazing.

Better touch. Not a fingerprint magnet as the original Samsung screen and also great protection. All that for just $25 on eBay :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] knocker235:
I saw one screen protector issued by Samsung, did any one try it?

Tempered Glass! NOT PET Film!

Being in the UK I can't get half the items mention on here.

Previously has GlassM - didn't like the cut outs.

Anyway I brought Nillkin Glass

Same cut outs as Spigen but 1/3 of

the price and also thinner at 0.3mm which now makes my phone fit into the bumper case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ram11:
Re UK, that is true, when it comes to either tempered glass or extended battery or even cases.

Re Nillkin, where did you get that in UK? Is it the original anti-explosion one mentioned here ? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...ector-Film-for-Samsung-GALAXY/1410623597.html

Please let me know. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Yes that's the one Nillkin 9H Nanotechnology Anti explosion tempered glass etc...

I got mine from eBay UK seller arrived in 2 days.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-T...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item25855bf229
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
Just received the Spigen Glas.tR Slim 9H.

Here is my experience:

At first I apply wrong due to my mistake, it won't stick, later I just notice I had actually apply it wrongly.

So I just take up and stick back the front plastic paper as I know it need to stick back so I can apply correctly later.

This time I correctly peel off the back plastic to stick on the screen. It is sticking perfectly and easier.

I then peel of the front plastic where I re-stick back previously.

I wipe with clothes provide by Spigen and later I notice there is a scratch line on it.

What kind of 9H is this? How could it be that easier get scratch by clothes wiping?

It is ridiculous in not acceptable level. USD $39++ for such quality Glass SP? What the point I paid that amount? It is easier scratch than normal plastic screen protector.

Authenticated at http://original.spigen.com/ and it is Genuine.

Means SPIGEN 9H is truly gimmick! It is not as great tough as you though.

I do wrong apply, but this not suppose do any bad impact on it where I get scratch later.

Unacceptable quality, scratch so easier!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Spigen is a ripped off, they are all made in China just like Nillkin, GlassM etc...

I can't see why Spigen is x 3 the price of Nillkin.

Your just paying for the name & fancy packaging.

I brought 2 Nillkin for less that one Spigen with change to spare and still no scratches on my Nillkin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
been hoping for a sale on iloome or spigen, but I think I'll just go with one of these guys now. Never heard of them, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I have heard good things about iloome but not available in UK. The price with shipping + taxes would cost more that Spigen.

Nillkin been around for while they do phone accessories. I wouldnt recommend GlassM as the top cut outs arent ideal, I had one.

My second one as backup.

http://nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=3636&page=1

If you're in US check out Brando

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Doesn't seem like they come with a home button, did you need to get an aftermarket one? On a side note anybody know if the button size is the same for the N3, N2, S4?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Home button are made from horrible rubber / plastic. No home button, I don't like them. It's fine as is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Was thinking bout getting an aluminum one, possibly N2 or S4 categorized since they're much cheaper, but I'll take your word for it and hold off for now. Just placed my order on amazon hope it doesn't actually take till January to get here haha, thanks for the suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ram11:
Where did you buy the Nillkin one in UK? None available in Amazon or eBay.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I went here...

Looks like he sold out, he only had 10.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I'm loving my Mime Feather Glass screen protector. I've had it for a few weeks now and it's still in perfect shape.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grabshell:
Personal experience, the 0.3mm is the best thickness for a glass protector. I feel the home button is much more in place. It doesnt protrude, levels the protector and feels good to touch. btw, brando has a good cut out and the best customer support. They shipped right away, no questions ask, my replacement for a slightly mis applied installation due to my carelessness.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I had one that was .32mm thick and didn't like how the home button was lower than the glass. I found the .15mm feather glass left the button level with the glass and felt much better. I also didn't like how the thicker glass was actually sticking up above the edge of the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ram11:
Shame its sold out..need to look somewhere else or from China!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ram11:
Hi, I think you have got Glass-M before. Is Nillkin better than glass-m? your thoughts please
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Yes i had GlassM before it was OK smooth glass and smooth round edges but i didn't like the top cut outs and it wouldnt fit my bumper case.

My screen died and had to go for repair, phone came back with new screen so I had to get another screen protector.

I went Nillkin, it's better than GlassM as it has better top cut outs covering more of the phone. It's 0.3mm vs 0.4mm now my N3 fits my bumper case. I went back and ordered another as backup.

Problem in the UK we have limited choices. It's was either Spigen at £30 or £3.99 ebay ones.

Then I found GlassM for £10 and now Nillkin for £12.

For £12 I rate this product highly, I have coworkers with N3 with Spigen they already have scratches on their glass and was envy of mine as it cheaper, thinner and clearer.

I would also like to try iloome and Brando especially their new 0.2mm glass but not available in UK, iloome will ship to UK but you will get hit with custom charges.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ram11:
Thank you for your reviews about GlassM and Nillkin. Waiting for the Nillkin where the UK seller said he will have new stock within 2 weeks. Till then will use a normal SP.

Yea, iLoome has got good reviews but even without the customs charges, their shipping to UK is an eye watering £8.5.

Shame that UK is left with not much choice

Thanks once again
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] burrzoo:
New! "Just Like Glass" Nano now in stock!

I'm using the original "Just Like Glass" from DBAcases and they just came out with the "NANO"

Check out the Video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXZz-2QTyFs

It's on sale right now for $28.99. Order HERE

I already ordered one....Can't wait!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
Can you buy Xgear in UK? So far I am satisfied with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ramon.nmgn:
Just ordered the nilkin 9h. Does anyone how thick it is?

Btw, on the picture of this product, the edges of the glass looks blue? Is this really blue of just on the picture... thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Nillkin 9H is 0.3mm thinner than Spigen, iloome and GlassM which are 0.4mm. Brando now offer a glass at 0.2mm, it is the thinnest currently.

(Note: I don't consider iloome flex as glass cos it's PET with glass coating but they are 0.15mm if you want super thin)

The edges are not blue, the picture is for illustration to show the area surface the glass protects so you can see where the cut outs are, some makers are not showing this information.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ramon.nmgn:
What about the quality of the nilkin 9h? Is it strong and scratch resistant?

I do not use any other kind of case for my phone. Just naked witht the nilkin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I think the quality is good (clear, smooth and stayed stuck down, no corners lifting)

I haven't tested the strength (ie dropping it or trying to scratch it with a knife etc..)

I only use a bumper case so the screen is exposed, 4 days on and no scratches so far.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] .:TRE:.:
Hi everyone! First time encounter with this type of screen protection. What do you say on this score here:

aliexpress.com/item/For-note-3-Real-Premium-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector-Protective-film-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3/1364000493.html

Review the goods are good. And judging from the description, is not inferior to the original Spigen and others. I just think that $ 40 is expensive. In this case it is better to buy a protective film. Waiting for answers :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
I'm the type of person to always buy name brand stuff. For the fact that it's more durable and better quality. I've had spigen and MIME and loved them. I took a chance and bought a tempered glass on eBay. I love it. $7.58 shipped I couldn't pass that up. I got it the other day and installed it. Wow I love the way it fits and actually like it better than the spigen and MIME. It's .33mm thick and it's just enough to protect it without it being too thick. With the spigen bounce case it looks amazing. Really looks like nothing is there. Plus side for me is it ships out from US. Don't want to wait 2 weeks for it. Got it in 2 days. From now on I will only be buying this one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] denpanosekai:
I've been shipped two defective GLAS.t in a row by amazon.ca

The first one's edges did not "glue" to the screen at all. The second has the same behaviour, but had some bonus "built-in" dust speckles as well.

Will third time be a charm, or should I go for a different company? At least I'm getting refunds from amazon but I kind of want to move on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
I would go with a different company. For a high end protector you shouldn't have to go through that. Sucks because I never had a problem with them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DBAScott:
Not tempered

The problem with tempered is that it's stiff and thick. That makes the extra button necessary and the problem with adhesion at the edges.

I can't post a link but DBA Cases just came out with a new Just Like Glass Nano that fixes all of these issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Not true. They make tempered glass around . 25mm thick. I'm using .33mm thick glass and it doesn't bother me that the button is just a tad lower then the glass. So I'm sure then thinner glass you wouldn't have that problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 900SS:
I am using the GLAS.r and love it. Installation was easy and I had no dust or bubbles. I like the fact that is a little thicker with the rounded edges and my button is now recesed and I dont accidentally push it. I will say that I accidentlly hit the screen with a piece of metal and thought well there goes my screen after a deep breath I looked at my phone and not a scratch very happy and will use then again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kancerstick:
just purchased an iloome screenmate flex. Will give a review in a few days when i recieve, ive heard good things about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
I believe my previous

Spigen Glass.tR

is defective, that only line is the only there, how I wipe now also won't scratch.

I already get a

new replacement

and it is in perfect condition.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RequeLine:
i think that this glass guard don't needed if you have a good case for phone =\
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DBAScott:
49994323

The JLG Nano isn't tempered glass - it's sprayed glass nano particles sandwiched between two layers of advanced plastic. It is a dry apply and the thickness is not noticeable. Since it's not tempered it adheres perfectly and feels smoother than glass.

There is a cool video on the DBA Cases site.

I tried tempered a ton of times and wasn't ever satisfied. This is completely new.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] indecentspeech:
Can please post the link to the eBay seller u bought it from? Would appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Oops thank you. Forgot to do so. Here it is.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=380763842534
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] indecentspeech:
hey thanks, bro. really appreciate that. just ordered one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
No Problem. I just ordered another one myself for my father in law. Lol

I still can't get over how nice it fits on the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GramKrackr:
Just received my Spigen Neo Hybrid in White and Spigen Glas.t.r through my wholesale account. Being a Spigen dealer I have always been a fan thus the reason I picked up the brand for my retail store. I installed the glas in a clean box to ensure no dust and was amazed to see dust particles stuck to the adhesive side when first laying it down. It got to the point where I washed in it the sink with tap water reapplied it and pushed any liquid remaining out with a card it took almost 30 mins. I am not too impressed I have installed Tech Armor before and other cheaper Tempered glass protectors. So for the retail price I'm not impressed, I doubt I will sell this, on top of it I shined a flourenscent light and noticed a bunch of fine scratches already on it just from using a card to lay it with no bubbles. Spigen is not on my best side right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiggins87:
Does anyone have tips on installing a tempered glass screen protector? I have the iloome screenmate flex and it seemed great except in the installation, what looks like a small hairline crack or a scratch appeared. I also have two dust particles trapped despite wiping it with the provided microfiber cloth repeatedly for 2-3 minutes. I ordered a cheaper tempered glass screen protector (the 1 mikenq2003 recommended; thanks Mike!) and am hoping for things to go smoothly this time. I can't stand my brand new phone looking scratched and scuffed up when it's not especially since it's been less than 2 weeks since I got it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
No problem. Yeah just make sure you wash your hands, install it on a flat surface, wipe the screen with the microfiber cloth that comes with the protector, then use the alcohol pad an give it a good wipe down. Let it air dry some and then wipe again with microfiber cloth. Used the dust removal sticker that comes with it to remove anything after you dried it. Peel just enough of the film to put the protector on the phone and align it. Peel the rest of the film off and manipulate the protector straight so as its setting on its own so you won't have to peel it off and fix it. I'll take a picture of what mine looks like and post it up as soon as I can.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Some pictures without the case on and the last few are with the case on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Thin enough to not really remember it's there. Some of the pics it's hard to see but it's there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Mine has this weird issue where if I use the phone for a little too long and the phone top portion starts to heat up, it will start to "lift". It only happens at the top portion of the FLEX. I emailed iLoome and they are asking for photos, but I have no idea how I can do this without carrying a P&S camera with me all day.

It's really annoying for me so far, I have to hold the top when it starts to lift to prevent dust from slipping underneath this lifting. Once the phone cools down it stops lifting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Yeah that's odd as hell. Never heard that before. Only way to get a pic of that is to play a heavy game so the phone heats up and then snap a pic. Dungeon Hunter 4 will cause the top of the phone to heat up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
I tried to do that at home but I don't have the time to sit there for an hour to recreate this. Tried to leave a video and game playing by itself for an hour but it didn't generate much heat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jetguat:
Mime. iLoome. Spigen. No-name Ebay brands. I am no where closer to finding what I would think to be a consensus glass screen protector. I LOVE the size and weight of the naked N3. I have the Spigen Slim Armor. That added enough weight/size. I dont know the weight of the thicker tempered glass, but I dont want to have the perception of ..any.. more bulk.

I would like the oleophobic coating so finger prints and whatnot are nonexistant or super easy to wipe off. Dont care about the home button. dont care if the stock home button is recessed. you hit i with a finger tip and its big enough to hit.

Would prefer to note to spend a fortune on it. but would if I have to. Was waiting and hoping for a spigen tR nano slim for the note through. in my mind a thinner protector would have less change of adding to the perception of bulk. All this said...

anybody have anything more concrete or solid to focus my attention on. Each of the major brand are hit in this thread. so with install problems. some with easy/perfect install. really hard to judge whats what in this thread. Open to hear some solid leads... thanks! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
If you can't make a decision from this thread then I'm afraid you are sol. Many people give the good and bad of both major and off brand glass. Some post pictures of what they have to help others decide. Your just gonna have to go by what we say. Many of us took a chance buying these and the outcome is about 50/50. I'm not trying to come off as an ass but none of us can give you a more concrete or solid lead in an open thread about tempered glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jetguat:
SOL. Probably true. The frustrating part for me, is that reviews are very mixed on other sites (amazon.com for example). Evidentally, there isnt a company that really just makes a great product. Many must be good, yet some have issues some dont.

I think for its thickness I might be leaning towards iLoome flex. Again would probably go for spigen tR nano slim if it were out..but cant find much info that they have one in the pipeline. now I need to go back and reread the iloome flex posts here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Try watching reviews on YouTube as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
If you go few pages back, you may notice two pics of my note3 with xgear glass plate.

I am totally satisfied.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jetguat:
OK. Changed my mind. After doing some reading. I think I'll take a chance on the Brando 0.2mm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
I'll have the spigen glass tomorrow and give my thoughts as well
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jmw2207:
Agree with you here. I've got no doubt most of the brands mentioned in this thread are all great products. ..most of the time you are hearing about people's installation results, mishaps and successes rather than the product itself. I for one was lucky to have a flawless install on a spigen glass.t and I'm wrapped with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
What the hell! My iloome tempered glass now started coming up on one side for no reason after two months. It's not ever been in a case, never dropped, it was installed with not one spec under it, There's no reason for this. With the money I spent on this this thing should last the duration of my contract, otherwise a freaking plastic screen protector being changed out every three months is more cost effective. So angry about this :mad:
