I personally only like the ones that cover most of the top. Some of them only cover part of the top with what I guess is best described to being similar to batmans ears, leaves most of the top unprotected in case of a drop. This only leaves the sensors and speaker uncovered.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
My Bear Motion one has a non centered notch on top that allows the speaker grille, sensor, and led exposed, but it covers the ff camera. Then it has a saddle style notch on the bottom for the home button instead of having that thin part under the button. I like it just fine this way.

Saved my screen

I'm completely sold on these! I dropped my phone while shopping in the grocery store. The phone landed face down, then slid several feet. No cracks to the screen protector or my screen, but there are scratches, one pretty good ding, and several minor dings. So I'm thankful for the screen protector because that would've been my screen otherwise, and I've only had the phone for about two weeks. I decided to order two more from the same ebay seller at $7.65 each (weird price, right?). No regrets here and certainly beats paying $25+.

Edit: If anyone is interested, here's the lankage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380763842534. I previously ordered one for my wife's HTC One as well. By the way, the Note 3 screen protector has what another XDA member described as "batman ears" (funny observation), but that doesn't bother me because I don't want the extra layer of glass over the FFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
Why not? It doesn't cause a problem and protects it from damage and fingerprints

Personal preference :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
You're putting a thick layer of glass (that is not multi-coated to reduce reflections and aberrations) onto an already poor quality lens. Not a recipe for success.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Well bummed out now that I got my screen protector and it isn't all covered up top like the iloome. Here are the pictures. I asked the seller and they said it was like the pictures. Guess that's the risk with eBay
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] int_architect:
Mine has the same cutouts. I prefer it this way, which is why I bought this type of screen protector.

I just installed the one from amazon that cost $6.72 and I can't see a difference between it and the more expensive ones.

2.95D Tempered Glass...comes in a green border box with all the tools you need to install and button extensions if needed. With the Slim Armor cases I didn't even need to put the button extension, but put it on just for the hell of it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Septembersrain:
I keep trying all these different tempered glass screen protectors. I've also tried multiple different clear thin ones. I'm seriously unhappy. It either makes the phone feel wrong, look wrong, or the product doesn't fit properly.

For the first time, I'm going to have to leave the screen naked. @_@

I'm thinking it's mostly the Gorilla Glass V.3 that is causing all my screen protectors to inevitably annoy me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] djdig:
I posted a picture of the one I bought from amazon and the link in this thread and it works smooth as ice, no clue how it could get better.

Sorry to hear that. Mine is great, has a really good fit, and no drag for my S-Pen. It also saved my phone's screen the other day when I dropped it in the grocery store -- it took the scratches and dings an otherwise naked phone would have taken. I ordered two more.

Just got my Note 3, Mime Feather light protector, Otterbox commuter and Fly grip. Everything works together perfectly, the flygrip is better than expected (even given the exorbitant price tag).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
You should give xgear a try before giving up. So far I am happy with it.

The cutout only exposes earpiece, sensors (not front cam), and home button. No sensitive degradation, no drag, no blah blah blah.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Well if anyone is interested in picking one of these up, and wants this style PM me. I want to send it back but I think it would be cheaper for me to sell it to someone and I'll pay the shipping. I want one that covers the top more, so I'll be buying another one soon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
You trying to sell a glass protector? I don't think you'll be able to sell it because once you remove the film everything sticks to it. Dust is a pain. I would just take the hit and buy another one. Are you in the US?

When searching for stuff like that on eBay make sure you narrow your search to US only or UK only. That way you can deal with someone locally and not across the globe. It works better that way. Hope this helps you for your next purchase.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Yeah I'm trying to sell it. It was never put on, still in the package as I showed. I'm in the us in California
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Oh ok. Good luck

Well its been a month and a bit with my tempered glass from spigen. Got the slim TR. Which they say helps it to stop chipping and lifting.

Did exactly the opposite got air bubbles appearing paid £28 for this piece of c**p. Apparently purchasing from an 'authorised' reseller isn't even covered by their manufacturers warranty.

Think I'll either switch to zagg or get a cheaper replacement seen as tho most people say they're near enough the same as this
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Yoeltimeisup:
You should check out ebay for cheap tempered glass screen protectors. I read that they are just as good or better than the ones that go for $20-$40. This is the one i might get http://www.ebay.com/itm/171162877935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] st3chn0:
Well for a premium high end phone thought at first better spending a little more to get the better protection and clarity..... think I'll probably just do that and get something much more cheaper, reasonable and is not stupid with their idiotic policies and offer a warranty

Spigen not offering a replacement without question compared to zagg just shows they aren't as certain about their own products as their competitors...... should have raised a flag for me before I even had purchased it

I spent £1.50 (for 5) screen protectors cheap ones from china and that has out lasted since I installed this for a mate and on top of that still looks perfect without any damage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KTownGT:
Do the tempered glass protectors work with the NeoHybrid?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Yes they do.

It would be nice to have a glass protector that covers the whole screen but that will never happen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Anyone tried Colorant ITG Pro Note 3?

Covers more of the phone than I have seen before also comes with a glass home button tho expensive.

Currently using Nillkin 9H TG @ £12. Very happy with only a few light scratches after 2 months, no lifing of corners.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] UCSB:
Been using a Spigen Glas tR with Spigen Slim Armor case for a couple of days. Amazing clarity and feel; very happy. Really like the look of the screen with this protector. Can't comment on long term durability. Will probably test with a UAG Navigator case in the coming days. I may install one of the cheap ones on my backup Note 2 to see how they compare. I am completely happy and amazed with my Glas tR. In the past, I have used Spigen Ultra Clear screen protectors (which are nice). The Glas tR is in another league. I noticed it was on sale on the Spigen site yesterday for something like $8 off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] st3chn0:
Well I contacted spigen and they have agreed to send me out an replacement. Maybe I just had a defected product. Will see what happens when I get the replacement installed

Noob Question : will the dust particles caught underneath the screen guard scratch the screen in long run ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Found this one, but have not ordered it to try it. Would be curious if the sensors work fine with it.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271355838816
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
With you Bear Motion, does the home button stick up enough to feel normal? It doesn't need one of those adhesive stickers does it? Really Considering ordering the Bear motion tempered.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
If you can find it in stock it's worth the $14. The button sits just barely lower than the screen protector. Just enough to easily feel for it, but not enough to catch on things. I'll put it like this. The difference between the phones screen and the top of the button is much more than the difference between the screen protector and the button top.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
Gotcha. I will probably order the home button then. I feel like it would feel weird. Still debating if I want to run a tempered glass protector, never found the need for one but I know it probably feels better than the plastic ones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
I've always been against using a traditional screen protector. Never understood paying top dollar for a phone with Gorilla Glass technology just to cover it up with an ugly plastic rough feeling protector. So I always went naked. I tried this tempered glass screen protector because I always said if I could get the protection, without any of the drawbacks, I would use one. These tempered glass protectors seem to fit the bill quite nicely. I just don't see spending $25+ for one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattt33:
I must say I was very skeptical about these tempered glass screen protectors as well when I first heard of them.

I had used many cheapo protectors (e.g. the ones that come with Otterboxes, <$10 protectors, etc.) as well as some of the more expensive ones (e.g. Zagg, Ghost Armour, Just Like Glass etc.) in the past for all my devices as I just can't stand even the tiniest scratch.

The drawback to the cheapo ones is that they scratch over time pretty easily. Also, they leave fingerprints / fingerprint oils easily.

The more expensive ones are better for protection, but can still leave fingerprints and scratch over time - to a lesser extent than the cheapos.

Last year I opted for the 'Just Like Glass' protector, on my Note 2 - cost about $20 or $25 if I recall correctly. It was superior to any other screen protector I had used in the past. I was quite satisfied with it. However, it still scratched and left smudge prints - just to a much lesser extent than any other protector.

I just got the Note 3 and was curious about these tempered glass options. I heard that Spigen's GLAS.tR was a worthy consideration so I ordered it last week. Just put it on a couple of days ago and I must say that it is the best choice by far.

The price is steep compared to anything else available ($39.99), but it's worth every dollar. The touch is just as smooth, if not SMOOTHER than the feel of the screen itself. There is practically ZERO smudge from fingerprints. Also, the rounded corners as pretty amazing on the GLAS.tR (compared to the GLAS.t). It feels as if the screen protector is one with the device itself.

All in all, the worst thing I'd say about ordering one of these is the painful waiting game for it to deliver. Once you try it, you'll likely realize what I'm talking about since I too was skeptical even after reading all the reviews on here.

Hey guys, what's the key to installing these glass protectors? :confused:

I want to make sure to get it right, and I've never put a glass one on before. Only the plastic films.

Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] platinumrims:
Biggest tip would be dust free environment... Steamy bathroom or something

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

So my iLoome has really deep scratches on one spot on it.. About an inch long... No clue how they got there.. I just noticed it last night so it had to have happened between the gym and home -__- it's like gouged lol. So much for that 9H
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
Unfortunately, sand is an ultimate enemy of such glass plate no matter number of H. Try sandpaper and you will be surprised.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
I get the environmental issue regarding dust. I was looking at actual application differences. Is there any trick to getting the glass on right the first time?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
I've heard of using tape to hinge it down to the side, but I just practice lining it up a few times so I know exactly where it has to fall. Hand-eye coordination and patience are all you need! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] drag&fly:
That's how I installed mine. I steamed up the data room a little and then lined up the screen protector exactly where I wanted it. Taped one side to the phone and then flipped it to the side, pulled the film off and laid it down. Went on perfectly and where I wanted it. No dust and lined up nicely. I use and otter box commuter also. I just wanted the extra glass in case of a frontal collision..... I don't hold any illusions about the screen protector not breaking in this instance, but my screen has a much better chance of survival.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
oh noes, the one mike recommended is no longer available and I need one for my phone replacement

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
They all should, but sometimes they forget to put them in, I got a few of the same protector, some had them and some without.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] saltorio:
Ah, fair enough. Didn't bother me, as I didn't really want one. The protector I bought for my wife's S4 (from the same seller) did include two, however.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
You are right, I don't use them either, they are just cheap stuff, I always get the aluminum buttons which only cost me the most 0.50 USD, most of the time I get them for free.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
Ok good to know. I know in the description it says it does but I will just have to wait and see tomorrow when I get it. I know some say they don't use them anyways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] iloomeOfficial:
Sorry about that! We'll definitely look into the issue if we can avoid it. That being said, international shipping all have standard rate of 12.99 USD (Canada 9.99 USD). This is USPS's price, not ours :(

I don't mean to rag on you, I know the shipping prices are generally out of your control. It's just the lack of information up front that irks me.

Yea, I just got the same email. I'm not sure if I should wait it out or cancel and try to find another glass protector. My phone is completely naked right now and that kind of makes me paranoid.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
You could just buy some cheap ones. I got the Spigen ones when they were on sale for $7. Currently using it now and waiting couple of days (make sure nothing is wrong with the phone) before I put on the MIME glass protector which I have sitting on my desk.

I ordered the Flex screen protector back when they first up up the coupon. Hope mine makes it out today, my phone is already here. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theonedub:
I bought one of the Bodyguardz Tempered Glass protectors while I was at the ATT store (price was OK after discount), and already the corners are lifting. I'm going to go back to the store later and exchange it for another one and if that one lifts, its back to the old school Spigen Ultra Clears/Oleos for me. Although the glass does feel very nice, I can't stand a protector that doesn't sit 100% perfect on the screen.

So they probably got some but not as many as they hoped for today's promised ship date.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] iloomeOfficial:
Hey guys, I just wanted to drop in and apologize for a week delay for the Galaxy Note 3 tempered glass product. We were having some issues with our factory in Korea, hence the delay. I hope you can forgive us for screwing up like this, and we'll do our best to prevent similar situations from occurring again!

EDIT/PS. The ScreenMate Flex for Galaxy Note 3 is being shipped out from today, all the way to early-next week. We literally just sold too many of them that we can't send all of them @ once.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattias28:
Awesome thanks for the update. I guess that's why my email was different as I got the Flex.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I'm not cancelling because if I order from somewhere else, I won't get it before this one is shipped anyways. I just hope it will be great :P I bought the hardest one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I got that email as well, not sure what to do at this point. The MIME tempered glass are nice, but their cutout at the top is too big for my taste and Spigen is just not following through on their customer service, shipping and general lackluster follow up.

Also I noticed the email says Octobe 11 (Monday) and October 18 (Monday). Isn't the the 11th and 18th Friday's? So are we dealing with different days or did they just get the day of the week wrong or the dates wrong?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] atuarre:
RE

What case/glass screen protector do you recommend? I did not plan ahead and there were not many choices so I just picked up the case they had @ the Sprint store. I want to get a Seidio Active case when they come out but I do not know if it will be okay with a glass screen protector. The Sprigen cases, from what I have read, have issues with the cutouts not being perfectly aligned to the phone so I am thinking maybe DIztronic. Would a Diztronic case work with a ghost armor or iloome premium tempered glass screen protector? I am scared the seidio active case will be too tight on the glass screen protector.

Also, never had one before. If they break, does the broken glass damage the screen or what?

8-9H+ and 0.26mm thick. For $8.99, hopefully it's good!

The next best option was to go with Nillkin, but didn't like how it covered the camera.

I literally ordered this exact same one last week. Should have it by Wednesday. Purchased a different one on Ebay 2 weeks ago and it was horrible. 2 days after making the purchase Ebay informed me that the item has been removed from their site and they are willing to issue a refund. The other seller in question was selling counterfeit products! I hope this one is better. I contacted the seller and he assured me this is the real deal
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
I'm glad I don't need one, the Bear Motion brand one I have has a notch style cutout for the home button, it doesn't try to cover that skinny area under the button, so the button is easily accessible. This one does cover the ff camera, which is perfectly fine and not only protects it but keeps it clean, doesn't affect use at all.

Right after I ordered mine on Amazon the product mysteriously went unavailable, looks like it is back now, but for several more dollars. It also, based on the pictures looks to have changed to be like the rest, fully surrounding the home button and with the top notch wider so it doesn't cover the camera. Both are bad moves IMO.

Here's what's available now.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] drag&fly:
Through my own research I've only been able to find 3 manufacturers of the tempered glass protectors. Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer....... hell I'm not even in the drawer, but pretty good chance they're all basically the same. So, $9 is well spent on "probably" the exact same product. But I could be wrong...... It happens a lot. (Ask my wife).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
As I posted before, majority of these protector around USD 3.5-10, that are from china are made from a selection of a few manufacture, but uses different packaging.

so you may find on amazon or ebay with 20-30 different brands, but infact they have the same protector in the packaging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
I picked mine up from VZW. Sure it had the 25 dollar price tag but I absolutely love this screen protector. Had been debating on iloome or Spigen settled on this one cause I didn't want to wait. Not unhappy I did. Came with the home button cover as well.

I have used memi ghost glass now for 3 different phones. Last year I dropped my note 2 almost 5 feet onto concrete screen down and the screen looked shattered. After a few mins of panic I peeled off my Ghost glass and the screen underneath still looked as good as day one. Memi replaced my protector at a 70 percent discount. This particular glass protector says finger print resistant in the description and it really is.
