just want to ask something about tempered screen protector. i just bought the spigen glass tr screen protector and had applied it successfully on my note 3 just having one little lint underneath but i dont care too much about it as it cant be seen when the screen is on. but i want to ask is tempered glass has any side effect to my screen ? such as reduce the screen sensitivity as i heard from someone that using tempered glass has negative effect. is it true ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hero746:
So what brand of tempered glass screen protectors do you guys recommend? I was looking to get the Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM, but it's expensive and the reviews aren't too positive (some say the glass has been shipped broken). There's also an iLoome Screenmate that's much cheaper at $25.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] platinumrims:
If you want the spigen tr slim get the Bear Motion one (it's cheaper) ... It has the same rounded edges and it's the same thickness (or thinness) I think.

Check out my posts comparing the 2 a few comments back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
MIME USA Feather Glass, .15mm thick, fits perfectly with nice smooth edges that don't stick up above the edge of the device. Mine has been on for a couple of months now and still looks brand new. I tried the thicker Ghost Glass but I didn't like the big cutout or how it stuck up above the edges.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hero746:
You said you preferred the iLoome flex though. After using both, which do you like better?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] platinumrims:
I like the flex because it's thinner than this and covers the sensors. But this one feels better to the touch and it feels like it's harder if that makes sense. It's really a toss up. As far as S-pen/touch feel the bear motion is better imo.

It comes up a tad over the silver lip of the phone where as the iloome is flush or just a little inset. Bear motion has way better oleo coating too. I work in a shop and I literally don't have a figure print on it even while typing this message lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
The iloome flex is not tempered glass but PET film with glass coating thats why its not smooth cos it aint glass, guy at work had one its horrible for S-Pen and doesnt feel nice to use.

He dumped iloome flex and now got a xgear glass which pretty much a spigen copy for a bit less cost.

Unless you have a need for 0.15mm screen protector then get real glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Paulita1:
YES, also I need to know about the difference between the .t and the .tr
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
t - is 0.26mm and has flat edges

tr - is 0.4mm and has rounded edges
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SonicSamZ:
I just bought this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221315502001

Took a few weeks to get here but it was hassle free to install. Fits perfectly within a Neo Hybrid. Home button is slightly below the glass but can be pressed with no problems (did not use the sticker to prop it up more).

Very cheap and as long as the glue doesn't start popping off randomly, I think I will be very happy with it :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dayat710:
got a cheap one from ebay, still has fingerprints and water sticks to it.. treated it with RainX and it solved the problems a bit.. just didnt like the cut tho.. have to apply a bit to the right coz it covers a bit of the front camera.

I received my Sir Lancelot ' s Armor Screen Protector today. I fitted it in the bathroom with the shower on (as you do) and the result is invisible. Perfect. I also bought an Otterbox Commuter case and it fits perfectly, even with the screen protector in place. I couldn't be happier.

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
I just went by Verizon and seen if they had any tempered glass screen protectors and they indeed had one. Already installed and is great quality. Curved edges and also came with home button stickers. Very thick and looks durable. I think it was a good move. Ran me $24.99
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] platinumrims:
Is that with a company discount? That's cheap. I'll have to stop by the one here and see if they have them
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
Nope. No discount at all. I think they are pretty limited but your local store may have one. Super good quality. Comes with button stickers and everything.

For all you wanting a cheap glass screen protector under £10 with rounded edges and only 0.3mm thick i ordered a pro-glas off of eBay for £8.99. went on with no problems no bubbles. ordered another one as this one has lint underneath from my mistake!!

the only problem is it doesn't come with a dust removal sticker. but thats no problem for me.:laugh:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221355448832

Also the seller is a really friendly guy who you can have a chat with and any problems can be sorted immediately.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JAMIE1000UK:
Interesting info for you. I bought god knows what tempered glass from the market. Was a tenner. .

Dropped my phone the other week directly flat on lcd. Me being me questioned whether the tempered glass would do nothing for a blow to the screen as logic would be that the glass would put pressure on the lcd anyways and both would break .

Well. I was wrong. Tempered glass works. It shattered leaving the lcd Underneath completely untouched. I will be going back for another in the next few days. .
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] burnin:
This is very good news because I thought it was just a myth.

I was waiting for my "normal" screen protector be scratched to replace but being so I think I'll apply the glass immediately
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I bought the iLoome (non-bendy version), works very well, easy to install. Even the little start buttons they send you in white and black are great.

... so far...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
Recently a friend of mine dropped his Note 3 with a tempered glass screen protector and the protector broke but the screen was fine.

Bear Motion

Been using A Bear Motion glass screen protector for about a month now, Seems pretty good I don't have iLoom or spigen to compare it to

but for $16 I could not resist

Not as fancy as Spigen or others, but i just couldnt wrap my head around the idea of paying 40-50$ for a protector. So got this one, lets see how it is.

Anyone tried the $6.50 from Treasure Valley sold on Amazon? I like the cut out at the bottom because I can still feel the raised home botton.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I brought of those from the same seller, its OK (round edges) cut outs are not as pics and it aint 0.33MM (0.4MM i reckon) but still good value.

I had trouble with my bumper case it was tight fit. After it got a few scratches I brought Nillkin Amazing 9H which is 0.3MM and has better top cut outs which now fits bumper case.

Spigen are overated several people at work had issues with air bubbles appearing and corners lifiing a few weeks after install.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Did you ever get it? Can you post pictures
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] blackwell387:
I just got one to..it looks great and the button stickers look like glass button s good fit I took the chance and did what you did..they are out of stock on the online store. Good stuff
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
Yeah man I love mine. Definitely feels like any of the high end ones that are out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] blackwell387:
What case are to you using??Can I ask bro?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tee00max:
I'm rocking the Spigen Bounce and love it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Should be here Monday. I originally had the glass m screen protector which was awesome and it saved my screen. It shattered at some point from a serious drop, pulled it off and the screen was fine.

I threw on a backup I ordered from eBay, it sucks and had two weird 1 inch streaks running vertically on there. Once the above mentioned screen comes in I'm throwing the eBay one in the trash. Going to order another glass m once the seller is back from vacation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] openwheelracing:
Would you mind taking some pics and provide some feedback? Much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Can do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anpho:
I bought a cheap tempered glass off ebay.. This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141108420777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 . It's cheap, it was easy to install and looks and feels great. the only problem is I installed it in a hurry and there are some specks of dust under the screen protector. not really visible so I don't care about it. Is there a chance though it could scratch the screen? should I leave it as is or should I put another screen protector on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Just got it today, not really impressed with it. Edges are not rounded, there is only film on one side so I can't really tell if it is scratched or not. Here are some quick pics of what came in the mail.

Going to put it on later and see if it is scratched, if so it's going back ASAP.

Edit: Just applied this one, no scratches seen and the install went well. Not bad for the price but I still prefer rounded edges. This one will stay until it is damaged, then I will put the glass m on next. Oh I recommend the hinge method for installing these things, line it up then use scotch tape on the side to make a hinge so after you remove the film you won't be trying to find the sweet spot forever.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
majority of these protectors from china only has protection on the adhesive side.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Using your finger nail, lift one corner of the protector and use cellotape to stick the dust out, in most cases the dust will stick on the inside of the protector, so the cellotape adhesive side should face up.

in case you mess up, you can remove the whole protector and stick strips of tape on the protector (adhesive side)to remove the dust in one go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
I also bought the same thing from the same vendor. Can't comment about the thickness as I didn't measure it, but I can tell you my edges aren't rounded like they were promised to be... Oh, also toker was right, the cutouts aren't as pictured. It has the bat ears or whatever everyone's calling them... I like it better this way anyway (it's symmetrical).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I only went for them cos they are in UK and I could get it in 2 days. lt could have better round edges and I didn't like the cut outs (bats ears) either so after it got scratched i went for another oem but for price it's okay.

I have yet to find a TG under £10 with proper round edges. If you like bats ears and round edges then get GlassM (they have round edges using Gorilla Cornering Glass) - I had one before.

Since then there are more options in UK now, so I went for Nillkin cos top cuts and the claim on 0.3mm as I got bumper case.

Would like to try Colorant ITG Pro next but no one has it in UK only on ebay from Asia. In Korean forums it's rated the best for N3 and even comes with a glass home button.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Update on this one from Amazon, having proximity issues during phone calls.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
Sorry, which "this" one are you referring to?

I bought the iLoome, amazing so far. No issues whatsoever. I was stupid and let some dust get under the thing when installing, but it's so minute you can hardly see it. Othewise, the iLoome is great all ways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...C_SX110_SY165_QL70#ref=mp_s_a_1_19&precache=1

This one, you get what you pay for I guess. Just have to press the power button after a call. No biggie.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
Never heard of the company. Maybe that's why it's sub-standard? I went for one that had good reviews independent of this thread and Amazon. Plus, it seemed like a good buy. So far, the ILoome has been good, had it a week now, and no issues so far. Can't even see it's there, rounded edges, fits well with a generic 2-part cover I have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
I picked up two of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/30104630705...arms=gh1g=I301046307054.N19.S2.M-35639.R3.TR3

This has been my first foray into the field of glass screen protectors, and I can say definitively that I'll never go back to plastic film again. I can't justify the $40 price on some, but these for around $6 got my attention.

They don't come with any silly button stickers and the home button is not encircled like it is on some, but I don't mind. I actually imagined that the home button encircled is a weak point and likely to break anyway.

Anyone who is like I was and on the fence, I'd say go for it. You won't regret the small investment. They are easier to install than plastic films by a mile, which is another plus. Feels like no protection.

I took off my old plastic film and carefully cut out a camera lens cover for my rear camera glass, rather than just toss the whole thing. I'll save my template and do so again with a spare plastic I have, if/when needed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jtech011:
Is the cutout on the screen protector as it shows in the picture? I recently bought this one http://m.ebay.com/itm/321304287557?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

Paid $10 free shipping but the cutout is not as it shows on the box which is the only reason I bought it. Not sure if I should return it for a refund. I've seen some that cover the ffc but was worried about clearness of the images taken through the glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
Yes, the cutout is exactly the same as the image shown.

AS for the camera lens issue I mentioned, so far, I haven't noticed any change in the quality of the images the camera produces. I was more concerned about scratching the lens, as I tend to use my phone outdoors quite a lot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jigu005:
Are the edges rounded on this one? Any other drawbacks to this versus some of the expensive ones?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
No, I don't think they are rounded, but they certainly aren't sharp, and honestly, I don't spend any time running my finger along the extreme edge anyway, so for the money, I cannot see any justification for dumping so much money on the expensive versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jigu005:
Thanks. I was just looking for something that was comparable since I haven't been able to bring myself to pay $40 for one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
I'm 100% with you on that. $40 is too much money for me to spend on such an item, which is why for around 6 dollars, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered two, and I think it was a good move, because now I have a backup, just in case. I did manage to get a bit of fingerprints on the underside, but it's near the edge top edge and I don't notice it unless I look for it.

All I'd suggest is just to be careful about that. Other than that, I am sold on glass over PET from now on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scientific calculator:
I've got a tempered glass shield on my SG3, it's a very good shield, can take a lot of punishment. Highly recommended.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jigu005:
Just ordered one. For the price, even if it happens to break its replaceable unlike the others where I would probably sit around and cry for a few days. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
I have found all the eBay (generic) ones are never what the pics/ description states so I will not go there again also they don't last as long and scratch more easily but they are cheap.

If $40 is too much for peeps then I suggest you check out GlassM, Nillkin as they are major oem and cost around $15.

I agree that $40 is too much for a bit of glass that cost $1-2 to manufacture.

Spigen is a brand I stay away from high price but not high quality
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mexiking713:
I ordered a Nillkin TG. Its reasonably priced and has round edges. Also the cutout covers more of the screen than the one with bat ears that I got from ebay.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kendonsh:
Yea I got it and it was not the one pictured. Find one of the one that cover the whole front of the phone with just the two hole cut out but got the one in the picture I attached. He did refund my money though because it wasn't the one pictured in his post.

I don't know if it's just me who got unlucky with what was sent but that was my outcome.

Here is the link again if anyone was wondering

ORZLY uses to do one that cover the whole phone (2 cut outs) but users complained about proximity sensor issues.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141095394516

Best check they haven't change the cut outs tho as it's ebay.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
The one that I purchased above on eBay via eforcecity has no proximity issues whatsoever. Everything works great. The size is exactly what it needs to be to cover the screen, etc.

I'd buy another in a heartbeat. I bought two on the initial purchase to have a backup, and I'm glad I did.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
That sounds great, can post ebay link please?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/30104630705...arms=gh1g=I301046307054.N19.S2.M-35639.R3.TR3

They came with the glass, a cleaning cloth, and a cleaning solution. A great bargain for $6.49
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] openwheelracing:
Is the cutout the same as shown?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Thanks but we are looking for TG that's covers the whole front (i.e. 2 cut outs - home button / ear piece) but without affecting sensors.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donalgodon:
Ah, ok. Well, I didn't actually care whether the sensors were covered, and I suspect that the sensors being covered is what causes the problems reported.

For me, these were good enough.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Yes, covering sensors could cause issues but I ideally want the whole front screen protected.

Currently using Nillkin TG which does not cover the sensors.

Colorant ITG Pro covers the sensors without issues but it's pricey and not available in my country.

I will keep looking....?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] openwheelracing:
I want one that does not cover sensors. Also I want the notch below home button.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mexiking713:
How are you liking your Nillkin TG? I ordered mine a few days ago

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3

Easy enough installation (steamy bathroom method).

I just received my MIME Feather Glass. First time using tempered glass and the install couldn't have went smoother. I used the hinge method and it fit perfect on the first shot. Couldn't be any more happy. The discount on a replacement is definitely a plus to the MIME glass. Response is good even with S pen. No front camera issues. It fits well with my ZeroLemon rugged case and 10k extended battery. I did remove the plastic that came on the case tho. No air bubbles at all and no lifting of the edges or any flaws in my setup that I can see. I can post pictures tomorrow if anybody would like.

Recommended. I will purchase TG for all my phones from now on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pikezer1337:
Is the glass cutout the same as it is in the picture? Im looking for one that covers almost the entire screen including the top.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toker_X1:
Is the MIME feather real glass?

i.e does it flex?

I ask cos illoome flex is PET film with a glass coating.

If its real glass I will try order one as I am in UK and pay extra for shipping / customs duty.

At 0.15mm with rounded edge thats the thinnest out there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cwms27:
The MIME is somewhat flexible. It's alot thinner than I thought it would be. From what I read it is real glass but I may be wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Yes its exactly the way it is in the picture. Covers the whole screen except for the phone speaker and front camera .
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] djnoicatse:
Currently using the Mime Feather and it is real glass. It is definitely one of thinnest out there on the market (No jelly/aluminium home button is need). On the website it says it has rounded edges but it doesn't actually feel that way. I've had it for about a month or so and it hasn't chipped or scratched!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
can anyone point me to a good glass protector from amazon? I replaced my phone again so I'll need a new one. The old $6 ebay one worked well but I want to try another.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shastrich2005:
I got the Newvit brand one from Verizon directly. Paid $20 and had them install it. Has one cut out for the sensors and a perfect cutout for the home button. Corners area all curved and edges rounded down. Came with 2 home buttons to raise the height. Fingerprint free model. Absolutely beautiful. Touching the screen is so much smoother and flows nicer. Can't even tell there's a protector on it. Only complaint is it does add somev weight. I'm a stickler when it comes to paying full price at Verizon but it was def work the extra money. I'd recommend it to anyone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] LancerV:
Just get a little bit of rainx and buff it on/off and no more finger prints :highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hero746:
According to MIME :

Using window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays or solvents diminishes the effectiveness of this coating. Our glass is best cleaned by simply using the microfiber cloth provided with our package.

Besides, why would I use windshield wiper fluid?
