[Q] Verizon Note 3 tempered glass - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Who has the official Verizon tempered glass for the Note 3? How is the screen quality on your's? And does it work through the S view window with it on? Thanks, i'm in America now to visit my cousins and i came across a verizon tempered glass screen protector for the Note 3 and plan on buying it for 25 bucks.

Thumbs up
I put one on my note 3, no ill effects. works great, just expensive.

I have an Iloome on my note 3 and I'm pretty sure it saved my phone. I dropped it and it smashed in 3 spots. I'm not taking it off until the new iloome arrives. I will post pics of the screen when the new gets here.

I would take it off immediately. There are numerous reports online that once the glass screen protector shatters , you risk shattering the glass underneath greatly and at least scratching it.

I didn't know that, so I did take it off and the illoome did save it.

I used the one above and it works great. My gf had it for about 5 months and no bubbles.
Does get a little oily, but one good screen protector that doesn't start to form tiny bubbles. Some of the matte finish ones start to form bubbles randomly.

I got one and it is great, i am not sure why but i can see my note 3 easier in sunlight now, not sure if it is anti-glare or i am just going crazy. Does anyone know the EXACT thickness of this verizon tempered glass screen protector? I know it has 9H hardness though.

I purchased the Verizon one. I love it so far. Way better then traditional screen protectors and smooth to the touch. I'm not sure about the sview as I don't have one but works flawlessly with s pen. Great perk about buying it at Verizon is they will put it on for you. I know some people on here are pros but I get nervous putting mine one.

I had one of the "Chinese" glass screen protectors from eBay, and I loved it - not noticeable at all and very smooth to the touch... until the top edges began to separate and form huge bubbles at the top after only a few weeks. No matter what I did they wouldn't go away... it was driving me crazy so I had to take it off.
I'd love to hear from anyone that bought the Verizon one about how it's holding up after a few weeks of use.
Too bad I already used my $10 free isis promotion at Verizon.

That happened to my daughters Note 2.
Had the Spigen R on it, she bumped one corner of it on my kitchen counter and the Spigen cracked and spiderwebbed the hell out of the glass under it.

Yeah that's the other thing that drove me insane. I was VERY careful when putting it on, and immediately placed it on after removing the protective plastic, yet somehow a few pieces of dust got in there.... it's then impossible to get them out. Once you remove it fully, or try to get dust or anything off of the side that goes on the screen, it gets ruined. ?
Suffice to say, I'll never get ANY type of screen protector like that again. As much as I really don't want an actual case, it looks like I'll probably be getting the s-view case with built-in wireless charging capability.

Vanilla no Screen protector

Is anyone here going Nakey with no screen protector? i've got one on right now and i can't STAND how the edges of the protector collect dust... i feel like taking it off..
Tell me your experiences with none on, is your screen getting scratches?
I hate screen protectors as well. That said, everytime I've tried to go nekkid, I've eventually ended up with scratches. No matter how careful you are, it seems, Gorilla Glass WILL scratch. Relatively easily IMO.
I picked up an InvisibleShield HD from Best Buy and it is super clear and flush. I dont even notice it on there.

I will prob go with no screen protector, I had my HTC Hero for 3 years and had very minimal scratching without a screen protector. I only ever put my phone in my pocket on its own. I also keep my phones for the 3 year term that I get them on so by time the 3 years is up the re-sale value doesn't really matter to me any way so if it has some minor scratches it doesn't matter much since I will prob just pass the phone to someone for free anyway. Not to mention it looks and feels better without the protector and why not have the best experience with your phone instead of babying it.
I've never had one on my E4GT and it only has a few super faint scratches that you have to turn it off and put in sunlight to see. I don't think I'll put one on my GSIII either - they always end up getting bubbles or peeling back at some point.

I am not sure... It is a sticky on one side and you apply a solution to apply it to the screen which makes positioning it very easy.

Wet.
I'm going nude too
The only phone I've ever had a tiny scratch in was with my Droid Bionic. But it was my work phone which means that I didn't baby it the way I normally do with my phones. None of my phones have ever had any scratch on them, and in fact the only phone that did have a screen protector on it, broke. Not that a screen protector is supposed to prevent it from breaking after someone stepped on it but yeah that's another story. I'm also planning on getting a white one and don't think it would look too nice after a while as the glue around the edges gets dark.
I figure as long as my pockets are free from anything else and they stay clean that I shouldn't have any issues with the screen. Just take care of your stuff people. Also while i'm at it, I think it's disgusting when people here scratch their screen then return it for another one. That's not anyone's fault but your own. There is already a high demand for these devices and the carrier or samsung should not be held responsible for that.
*gets off my soap box*
Screen protectors are a pain in the ass. Get rid of it. You can always tell that it's on there. Just take care of your phone. I keep my right pocket for the phone only. I never put anything in my right pocket except for the phone.
I never use a screen protector. Never got scratches on my phone either. This is gorilla glass 2, so if you mess this up you don't need a phone

Stick your finger in the sand at the beach, then swipe your finger across your screen. Report back.
Sand will scratch the screen. Sand is actually at locations other than the beach and may come into contact with your phone/finger.
One year on the nexus and not a single scratch. My daughters epic is 2 years old without a single scratch and she just throws it in her book bag. Neither have ever had screen protectors.

I think most people would notice if sand came in contact with their phone/finger and wouldn't have an issue scratching the phone.
I've never used a screen protector, nor do I have any intention of using one on this device. My s2 looks like the day I got it.

Meh. Some sand/dirt is overseen depending on its size as not all dirt/sand is the same size. You can google gorilla glass and scratches and see it will scratch. I'm not saying everybody will scratch their screen, but I'm not taking any chances. Besides, I'm a pro at putting on screen protectors so I do it anyways..
If you are worried about scratches, I'd rather get a flip cover or slide in pouch than taint the display with a screen protector. Granted I live in the midwest and there isn't exactly a lot of beaches around, but I had my Epic since launch and never put anything on it and the screen still looks like new (the bezel not so much). It's even been dropped a few times landing facedown on my driveway/garage floor.
I have been naked on my phones the past several years and no visible or major scratches. If you are careful and don't put coins or keys in same pocket you should be good.
I'm going without a screen protector. One reason is that I suck at putting them on and get really annoyed with the bubbles and dust particles underneath. But the screen is just too good to cover up with a protector. I take good care of my phones so I don't have to worry too much about scratches. I had my GS2 for 8 months with no protector and no scratches at all. I put it in my pocket without anything else and it was fine. I make sure my hands are clean before using my phone.
I always start out with a protector, then end up taking it off after 6 months or so and that's with every Smartphone I've ever owned 2007-present.

Gorilla Glass 4 is not so perfect. Put on a screen protector asap.

I've had my S6 Edge for a week and several visible light scratches starts to appear on the screen. I was waiting for my screen protector to arrive from amazon. And I was extra careful with the naked device.
This issue is not new. But with Samsung and Corning constantly reassure the ability of improved scratch resistance of the device. I doubt many people will not put on a screen protectors.
So, I suggest you guys put on one now, before it's too late, asap.
I have already ran into that issue some very small light scratches while waiting for my screen protector in the first week. I am extra careful also no clue where they came from.
I believe the glass has some sort of oleophobic coating on it and that is what is getting the fine scratches in it. Not that it really matters because it still looks terrible. But I don't believe the glass itself is scratching.

Corning never claimed that their glass is perfect. I've got a OnePlus one with Gorilla Glass 3 that I've used unprotected for almost a year and it's still scratch free. Your glass didn't scratch itself.

Can you suggest me a good screen protector?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ya/ref... - Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Matte Screen...#top
I ordered this one. It has matte finish so you can get away with fingerprints, it has healing factor to heal small scratches itself, it is edge to edge means that it will cover the entire screen including the curved parts.
So far so good. I like it.

I highly doubt your 'scratch free' statement. I'm sure it has small scratches on the surface but you just cant see it very clearly. As long as the glass is still softer than sands. There will be scratches.
I am using samsung galaxy s4 since 2 years without any screen guard and havent got an single scratch on screen....dont know how you ppl get it. And if you say there might be small scratches on screen, no even if u see it in bright sunlight not a single one appears

Even if so, I would have noone to blame but myself. Lots of people are capable of using a smartphone for even long periods of time without scratching them up.

Amazon: Screen Protector 5-10 dollars
My local store that sells em: screen protector: 20-40 Dollars
Thats why
There's nothing wrong with the Zagg shield front+back protector you can get from Verizon. I won't even let my phone leave the store without having a screen protector on it ... I know myself, and I know there's literally zero chance it wont get scratched.
Even if you're waiting for a better (tempered glass) screen protector ... do yourself a favor and buy something cheap while you're waiting for it to arrive. Not trying to preach or be a dink, but you can't blame the glass for scratching - blame yourself.

I hope so!
I see a few (scratches) on mine and I have not had this phone anywhere nor put it in a place where something could have scratched it! Compared to my other devices that have been pocketed and used a lot and those screens are flawless!
It reminds me of the camera glass on the HTC One M8. That got all kinds of crazy looking scratches and it was never touched. It was some kind of coating on the glass that caused it. And, too, it was easily rectified with some Brasso...
We're talking really tiny scratches here, completely invisible to content when viewing the screen head on. But when off, especially in sunlight, they are there. It's bothersome like when you notice a tiny scratch or ding on a new car.
I can say that I have the phone since 17th and I'm having extra careful and with direct sun light is where I can see if I have scratches or not. So on the screen I have zero scratches has I had with my s5 without a screen protector at least for 7months but on the s6 edge the screen as I said zero scratches but on the part that has the capacity buttons because it's gold version I can see there some light scratches
Same here, I'm giving the exact same usage to my S6 Edge that the one I did with my S5 and S4, both of them have only a couple of small tiny scratches but my S6E has A LOT already. I'm so disappointed at this as I never required to use an screen protector since my S4.
Got my S6e on 4/17 and so far have only a single, very faint scratch on the screen where I would have to tilt the phone in sunlight "just so" to barely make it out. I'm fairly certain I got that when I dropped my phone at the gym.
Last night I received the Cellbee "glass-like" screen protector, followed the directions as best I could... and ended up throwing the damn thing away. I made sure I was in an environment free of airflow and minimal dust, and it resulted in one of the worst finished products in my years of experience putting screen protectors on. On top of that, the surface had so much friction it felt like my finger was running on top of rubber.
Anyway, waiting for the tempered glass, or at least a standard protector with more success stories. Don't want to waste another $10.

screen scratches

When I bought my s8 I didn't have enough money to get a screen protector. I'm OCD when it comes to screen scratches. And sadly I've accumulated a few. Does anyone know of a way to buff out these scratches?

No one goes to jail for a 'little' fraud. Law is absolute not a grey area. Sentences for crimes are proportionate to the crime. but as you admit in saying "It's not like it's a car" it is still illegal regardless.
Mine had a couple of scratches out of the box. But they are so shallow that are only visible at the certain lighting at certain angle and completely invisible under the screen protector or on a lit up screen. Unless you don't see them all the time - its fine. And I guess there is some coating on a glass that gets scratched - not glass itself. As it was mentioned before - its not easy to scratch it unless you wiped it with dirty cloth or sand. Many people don't use protectors at all and have 0 scratches in a year.
But get a screen protector anyway. Regular plastic one will do (I use official Samsung protectors). You will, probably, not see those scratches under it and it will help your device to look like new over the years.
PS: And yes, there is a couple of ways to remove the scratches, but you should never do it. It might be a success, but in 90% of cases you'll just scratch your screen much more.
Do Samsung do protectors for the S8? Any links, I'd be interested. Thanks.

The Samsung s8 scratches so easily within a day I had a deep scratch on it and within 4 days I have 5 just from taking it in and out of my pocket. Not impressed as the s5 I've had for 2 years dropped it so many times and not a mark on the screen

I was trying my hardest to be extremely careful with handling the phone. I haven't even taken the back plastic cover off yet. The only reason I took the front one off was cause it peeled off when I put it in my pocket (it was from Sprint and was completely clear)
I'm using a skin on the back of mine. No protector on the front yet and no scratches but I'm considering the official Samsung screen protector (Google it). Seen some good reviews even though I have protectors (especially film).
I always order a gadgetshield body protection; So the back side, front and al the way around the corners is protected for scratches. Has cost me 10 euro.

Can confirm screen is weak. Or at least the coating. Mine has fine scratches and one deep one. Used a s7 edge that didn't have any after a year so I'm surprised at how easily the s8 scratches.

Yeah it really sucks. I don't have any feel ones yet, knock on wood, just some light ones. I'm OCD about my screen so I constantly look for scratches when I can only find them at certain angles
S8 easy scratch
After just two days of using my galaxy s8+ has a big scratch. And I took care not to stand with the keys etc.... VERY DISSPAPPOINTED ((
I dont know how you guys use your phones, I've had mine since 19 april without any case or screenprotector and there is not even one tiny scratch. Never put it on rough surfaces, and always put it alone in my pocket. I'm planning to get a case and screenprotector to not have to isolate it all the time tough.

Whitestone Dome Strength Quality

I started using the Whitestone Dome on my Galaxy S8 and loved it. So, I use it with my S9+. However it seems like the strength is weaker than the previous version because it seems to crack all the time. I am constantly replacing it. I am curious if anyone is experiencing this?
All the time is a lot of money! Mine developed spider cracking top right corner

Is is full screen adhesive, really sticky and does take some work to get all the air bubbles out. It does have a black border which does infringe on the corners of the actual display slightly. It is case friendly so is cut a bit short around the edges. I do however find it a perfect combination with a spigen rugged armour case. It comes with an alignment frame so is easy to get right when putting it on, it is however expensive at £25 but is still significantly cheaper than the whitestone. The oleophobic coating on it is brilliant, however to soon to comment on longevity as only be using it 2 months. I am happy with the compromises of this screen protector as I hate the thought of covering a very expensive phone with loca glue.
Sorry for the partial thread hijack OP!
I've broken two so far, both from dropping the phone... The second break is just on the edge so I haven't bothered to replace it yet. I have the Aliexpress replacement sitting at home, it was $16 for two screens, I figure I'll give it a try, if it doesn't work I'll send my broken Whitestone back and get it replaced again.

Note 10+ Pre-installed Screen Protector

So I noticed companies are already selling Screen Protectors for the Note 10+. From what I've read the Note comes with a Samsung Pre-installed one. Since I never had an S10, how is the pre-installed protector vs any of these 3rd party ones? Any reason not to use that one? I'm assuming if it gets nasty Samsung sells replacements. Also looks like the phone uses Gorilla Glass 6 vs 5 on the Note 9, so I'm guessing it should be more resistant to scratches and cracks.
scratch resistance have gotten worse over the years because corning is focusing on drop protection, and you kind of have to choose one or the other. Still think GG3 is the pinnacle of scratch resistance.
the screen protector is the same as any other plastic film one. Probably not amazing for the spen though, so maybe invest in a LOCA based glass protector. Whitestone is the easiest to install... but its pretty dang pricey. Definitely cheaper chinese options.

I ripped that screen protector off right away. It was cheap and wasn't going to save you from anything lol.
pulled it off mine to replace with a whitestone.
despite being factory it still had a fair gap around the side and it is probably about the same quality as any cheap film protector, so as far as protection is involved it will probably do for a day or 2 till you get something better but ultimately it's trash.

Same here, took it off like it was just on for shipping protect.
I don't mind the factory protector. It feels pretty slick like glass, is very oleophobic, and the SPen glides across it no problem.
That said, I've ordered Whitestone Dome and will install it as soon as it gets here. As I think it offers better protection.
If you don't want tempered glass and messy LOCA installs, or just don't want to spend the money on Whitestonez than I HIGHLY recommend the Ringke Easy Dual soft screen protector. I had it on my Note 8, Note 9, and I installed it on my wife's S10+. Perfectly clear, smooth as glass. It's so clear, it covered the front facing camera but doesn't affect the picture quality at all. Like it's not even there.
I've never found a 3rd party screen protector for a phone with a curved screen that worked well. Starting with the S7 Edge, Note 8, and Note 9. I've tried all manor of screen protectors from glass, to plastic, to that crazy nano liquid stuff. Now I've never tried a whitestone dome one before. But every previous protector I've ever tried has been junk and has fallen off, gotten dust behind it or made the s-pen horrible to use. Maybe some of the Note 10+ ones will be different but for now the one that came with it seems to be working fine.

Does your finger print scanner still work?
I installed a generic Loca glass screen protector but although a perfect install and fit, fingerprint doesn't work anymore
Is a screen protector really necessary? Ive had my note 8 for almost 2 years and never had a screen protector on, several drops and its perfectly fine lol
it's already .. typing from the new note 10+ after abonding note 5? after 4 years

So I noticed companies are already selling Screen Protectors for the Note 10+. From what I've read the Note comes with a Samsung Pre-installed one. Since I never had an S10, how is the pre-installed protector vs any of these 3rd party ones? Any reason not to use that one? I'm assuming if it gets nasty Samsung sells replacements. Also looks like the phone uses Gorilla Glass 6 vs 5 on the Note 9, so I'm guessing it should be more resistant to scratches and cracks.

I stopped using any screen protector for many years now. All my phones have zero scratches. I don't baby my phones either. Another nice thing is that the touch sensitivity is at its best since there is no screen protector at all.

yeah been use it all day and it still works fine, it's a bit fiddly to install as you have to basically get the glue in a target, but I got it mostly in left it to settle for 2 or 3 mins before the cure then cured it for about double what the instructions said (basically did the process twice to make sure), if anything over the course of the day using it the scanner has got better but that may just be me getting better at hitting the target.

Oh no doubt their is some tiny scratches but nothing really noticeable and besides I trade it in every year or every other year so its not really a big deal

Nope. I have zero stretches. No need to lie about this. I just use a thin case. I never put my screen against the table and never keep my phone in a pocket where there are keys in it.
It's def. Lower quality than the one that came on the s10. This already started lifting on its own. Might try the Ringke ones as I have the wet application orange peel affect, nor am I going to pay for the white Stone one because Verizons screen replacement is $29.
