3. cover the camera glass with some of that clear static plastic to keep it from getting scratched protruding glass on back = design fail of the year. Have to get some kind of skin to fix that.
I have just heard that my Note is in the delivery van and should be here any minute and I'll post my first impression when I get it.

It already comes with a protective plastic film on the lens straight out of the box. So why remove that to just put some more on!!

Yes, Gorillia Glass 2.
With the Note 1 and it's stylus, it worked fine with the Spigen/dry apply protectors. The stylus would leave marks in the wet apply protectors like Zagg, Bodyguardz, etc...
Well I had the same issue but that was bcoz of Non reflective Matt finished Screen protector that I used on my GN2.
It was solved as soon as I removed it and put Relective glossy finished Screen protector.

I haven't had any problems with the S-Pen
SPIGEN SGP Ultra Oleophobic
My S 9000i never had a protector on it and it's glas surface is virgin. Believe me am am not a extremely carefull person, the phone is a tool not a status symbol. So just too say that with Gorilla glas you can forget about a screen protector really.
I have no prob with the pen atm with a cheap protector

Well that's hardly true, at least for my part. I've only had the phone for 5 days and already its got a thin scratch at the top of the screen. Add to that that I'm pretty careful with the phone. I will definitely buy a screen protector when they become available at the stores here.
Glad to see that most of you don't have problems with the S-Pen after applying screen protectors.

I had a wet apply protector on my original note and it was driving me crazy how it would leave the, streaks/marks/etc in the protector I had. I pulled it off and switched it out for an SGP Ultra Crystal. Was definitely worth it, had no problems with it.
None of my phones after 3GS scratched. Gorilla glass is very good and never disappointed me.

i'm not a big case nor screen protector person and i'm planning to run my note II naked... but my retailer did include a cheap screen protector which he applied for me at the store and so far (8 days now) I didn't notice any impact to s-pen functionality
i'd probably remove it anyway as i prefer to feel of the glass screen...
sometime i'm amazed at how polarized xda members are re screen protector - some swear by them and some ridicule its use... i tend to agree with most of the points raised by either side:
1. screen protector will no way impact the functionality of the s-pen and the sensors (my screen don't even cover the sensors) blah blah
2. gorilla glass 1 or 2 are NOT invincible - sand etc blah blah
it is really just a personal choice and which option give you peace of mind...
I'm planning on using the stock front, back, and side screen protectors for my new Nexus 4 but have not seen many people doing the same. Is anyone using the stock protectors or is there harm doing so long-term? I am planning on using this with a the Exact Armour Case (sold on Amazon) too...
The front protector ist often not applied very well and has symbols für Volume an Power printed on it.
The back protector fits perfectly.
Iam only using them till they fall off^^ I dont think they will last very long.

Why would you want to use them? It's got Gorilla glass 2, so it's not like it's gonna get scratched easily. The only protection you could get is against hitting and the screen protectors can't help you there.
Pretty certain that there's no side protectors. I'm still using the stock protectors until my BSE ones arrive. Problem is they are designed to be removed easily, especially the back one, so it's actually already coming loose just because my hand grazes the removal tab.

Because it's been established that the glass still scratches easily, even though it's marketed as gorilla glass. Mine got 2 micro scratches before I decided to put a screen protector on - it's a common issue.
Gorilla Glass is quite resistant to scratches from the key or coins (in your pocket) but a simple grain of sand can make visible scratch on it! I used stock screen protectors but they started to come off after a week, so I bought Spigen Dual Ultra Crystal for my Nexy and I'm definitely satisfied with it.:victory:

Some of the phones were coming with protectors around the sides too, some weren't.
How is the friction of the finger to the screen then? Is it much worse than without using a protector?

using the stock screen protectors is probably the worst thing you can do. They're not really even screen protectors at all. They are much more flimsy and thinner then a screen protector and why would you want to keep them on when the front has the buttons printed on them and the back has the IMEI on it. If you want protection get the SGP dual protector.
Samsung Galaxy S4 metal rim around the display is not metal after all.
after using a pouch (not tight a bit loose) for about 10 days now, i notice that the "metal" rim below is fading and found out that is just a white plastic only with chrome plated.
its a bit disappointing that everyone knows that it is a metal frame. i should bought a protective case rather than a pouch.

Actually, it has been known that the chrome edging is just plastic, most of the reviews from the tech sites mentioned it in their reviews.
None the less, it stinks that the coating came off so quick...

Im using a s3 slide pouch. Maybe by taking on and off that scratches the rim. The pouch is a bit loose. Which I don't know why it fades so fast.
Yup. It's probably the rubbing on the leather inside the pouch each time you put it in and take it out. Do you take it out and put it in all the time? (Oooer).
Still shouldn't have happened though. Bad materials from Samsung.

Black plain honest plastic would have been 10 times better
I have the same thing starting my replacement S4. I received it at 7pm May 16th. That is less than 48 hours later. It has been in my pocket for may 15 minutes total. Honestly have used it for maybe 1 hour. the rest of the time it's been sitting on my desk. The first S4 I had I just returned because the chrome plating cracked near the ear piece. Extremely disappointed with this device quality. Not to mention the US version I have, with the quad core qualcomm, has a bunch of lag and stuttering.

Try Adding A Skin On Your Smartphone You Can Get It On Amazon
anyway, this phone gets micro-scratches with pleasure
the gnex glass was much stronger
The phone has an Anti-Shatter protective film on the screen. It's the film that scratches not the glass. The glass is tempered and is scratch resistant.
I personally use Nillkin Amazing tempered glass screen protector on top of ASF. Now that you have scratched it up you could consider removing it. Do bare in mind that you will loose the Sony logo and possibly your screen warranty ( dependent on the region)

Consider getting a screen protector. The glass ones are awesome. There is a thread in Q&A section.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Hey Shem.
Thanks for the video, that looks fantatsic.
One thing I would say is the protector doesn't seem to sit in line with the edge of the screen, almost a bit of an eye sore, but your scratch test has me wondering if it would be worth overlooking that for the clear protection it provides.
Is there any alternatives that you would recommend? I tried finding that particular thread you mentioned but not quite tracked it down. I'll keep digging

They were actually in the Accessories section (sorry for that). Tbh I am happy that the screen protector is not a perfect fit as it makes it easier to apply it to the phone. If you use a case that could also be a lifesaver.

Don't use that! I used it on a Galaxy Nexus years ago and it rubbed away the oleophobic coating... How old is your Note?
Got it on day 1 oct 24. Its note 4. Been an amazing phone, thats why i care about a little scratch.
I also have a 2mm deep scratch and tried to polish it away!
DO NOT TRY THIS, AS YOU WOULD REMOVE THE COATING WHERE YOU POLISH!!!
This would make things even worse!!

I removed few scratches from my previous note but never from gorilla glass 4. What I did I masked area and wet sanded scratch out using very fine sand paper (1500, 2000, 3000) with final touch 5000 and polish whole screen using drimel with buffing pad and fine polishing compound. It is time consuming and results depending on your patience. Maybe put screen protector to minimize visibility of scratch and wait until replacement front glass became available - in my opinion is easier to replace glass than remove scratch.

It all depends on your patience. You will need LOCA glue and preferably uv light. Watch youtube videos how to do that and see if you be comfortable to do yourself. There shouldn't be much defference between note2, note3 and note4.
