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.

Read your manual, page 9.

I have been using this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F260IA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
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...

[Q] calling bugs?

has anyone noticed a bug when you make a call? My fiance and i both got our nexus 4s and noticed whenever we call each other the screens go black and we have to reboot phones completely to get it back to normal... it doesnt make sense!

Are you perhaps using a screen protector that covers the proximity sensor (the two little dots in the upper left corner)? It's been reported that screen protectors like that can cause the screen not to turn back on after a call.

ok i failed... it was our screen protectors... be aware screen protecter causes problems with the sensors....!

You need one if you don't want the glass to get scratched. Little pieces of sand etc... that are in your pockets or whatever will scratch the glass. It prob wont be deep scratches or anything, but you'll get those little faint whisper type scratches for sure. So for me i'd rather use a screen protector, let it get dinged up and just switch them out every so often.
On a side note, its not hard to modify the protectors to expose the prox sensor. Just take very sharp scissors or an Xacto knife and trim the piece needed at the top.

Thanks! I was having this exact problem and getting extremely frustrated.

If you are using SGP call turn, they Afr hanging out free replacement. Faster shipping than Google I'm sure

[Q] Left pattern after removing screen protector

Hey Guys! Just wanna share this problem. After removing a cheap screen protector on my nexus 4 i still have this pattern - the cutout on proximity sensor and on the camera. I tried scratching it with my nails but there is really no more residue, the surface is flat but the feel on the screen is different on the sensor or the actual glass. Did I remove a coating or something after removing the protector? I also dropped a small amount of alcohol trying to clean it and observed that it follows the pattern. Check out the pictures please. Thank you very much.

What does this mark feel like and how hard is it?

I couldn't describe it but you could barely feel the difference between the real glass (proximity or camera or edges) and the area covered by the screen protector. It seems It'd never be removed. I tried tape, alcohol, scratching it, none worked.

Mmmm, I assume that the residue has absorbed into the Gorilla Glass which is really bad in many ways...

Either that, OR it has peeled off the oleophobic coating with it. OP, Do finger prints stick more than usual?

I thought the term oleophobic is for the steinheil SPs only. Is it really possible? What could possibly happen? Well I cant say, I immediately put a screen protector on the device right after I got it.

i'd say the oleophobic coating just rubbed off completely around the screen protector, mine has a slight problem around the sensor and front camera cut-out but it can only be seen if there are fingerprints on the screen and you know what you are looking for. i think it happens because of sweat/skin oils.

Note 3 - light scratches

My wife scratched her Note 3 screen today. The scratches are very light and not deep. I have a couple questions as we are ocd and it's bothersome. Would a glass screen protector help cover the blemishes? If we were to get the screen replaced are the replacements such as the ones on ebay as good as the factory Samsung glass? Sorry for being so long winded...

Glass screen protector no idea, but a normal screen protector will able to hide the tiny light scratch line.

Sorry for a little bit of OT but I noticed a tiny scuff on my 4-day old device, no clue where it came from. I look after it and keep it safe at all time, s-pen I have read will not couse that so my questions is, how come it is there? My only guess is the s-pen as it starts on the capacitive back button just underneath the s-pen thingy.
What you reckon?

Is the front case friendly and is it orange peel like in appearance like typical wet screen protectors?

anyone try the glass protectors with the uv glue?

If you are talking about the Whitestone Dome, then yes. It fits the phone perfectly and the fingerprint sensor also works perfectly. Follow the directions carefully and watch their youtube video before installing!

I agree. I just put mine on and works and looks great. Definitely follow the instructions and watch the video

I'm using PanzerGlass and it's fit perfect, case friendly, but I hate that "hole" for fingerprint sensor.. There isn't one on Dome glass, or?

No there isn't a hole with the dome glass. I had the panzerglass as well with my S10+. The hole didn't bother me too much and was for me a nice guidance to the fp. But I can imagine that people dislike the hole.

Post pics if possible?

Full adhesive tempered glass that works with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
For your viewing pleasure

The Whitestone is pretty good but messesul the fingerprints . Found it cracks easily too but worth it for the security

I have been using these for a couple weeks, VERY impressed. I dont like the dome glass, and most films dont feel smooth. These are film, but feel very slick.

XClear 3 Pack Screen Protector Designed for Galaxy Note 10 Plus / Note 10 Plus 5G (2019) [Case Friendly] TPU Film Anti-Scratch HD Protector Compatible Samsung Galaxy Note10+ / Note 10+ 5G - Pack of 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VTXQNMM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_twBuEbTK593V7

I'm currently rocking the zagg glassfusion. Its actually a plastic screen protector that I can honestly say takes a impact and have had no issues with touch sensitivity nor the fingerprint scanner. My only complaint is that it's not a completely clear protector as it has a black rim that goes around it. And the front facing camera is not covered instead I now have a black ring around where the camera sits. Otherwise great protector. I'm a traveling service tech. And my clipboard sliding forward and landing on my note 8 was eventually the demise of it with a total of three impacts to screen.... so far this glassfusion has taken two hard impacts from said clipboard. Without even a scratch....love the protector they just need it to be completely clear.

Just installed T-Max UV tempered Glass screen protector. So far no problem. Fingerprints works very well. Recommend this to all note users out there.

Whitestone has been near prefect so far using Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro I had to slightly file down the top corners of the case to prevent glass pulling up

Been using mine for 5 months now without a screen protector and not a scratch on it.
I haven't dropped it much though
