What's the best way to holiday proof my phone to protect it from sand etc? Some sort of special case?
Screen protector is probably a must.
Something to cover charging and headphones ports?

First a tempered glass screen protector
Can you elaborate what even is that? Tempered glass? How do you apply it if its glass?

tempered glass is a screen protector that can be as strong as glass, for example if you are using it and you drop your phone and the tempered glass gets cracked you phone screen would be left intact, watch pass 3min mark
That's good. Looks like a gel type case should be enough. With a tempered glass screen protector. Just ordered port covers too for charger and headphone ports. They are for an S3 but exactly the same ports so should be fine.
I just don't want sand to scratch the phone or clog up any ports.

yea screen protector is very important when going to beach I learned this when I got the lifeproof case for my s3(nuud which I liked because it was waterproof and you had direct access to touchscreen) sadly sand doesn't agree with gorilla glass it scratches it like a cat and it's scratching post so tempered glass will help you just have to be careful with cases because the tempered glass is somewhat thicker than a regular screen protector and if you have a case which meets a specific size and rest on screen it may not fit together with tempered glass
Thanks for the help and suggestions. If anyone else wants to input further please feel free.

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...
Bought myself a tampered glass screen protector from ebay.
Went totally wrong and gathered some dusk on the sticky side.
Is there anyway to clean this glass so it will be dust free?

You can find some videos on YouTube how to use plastic tape to remove them. Don't know if it works with a glass protector. But hey, it's worth to try.

Are there any tempered glass screen protectors that cover the whole glass screen or most of it?
Most of it. As note r display is curved at edge no matter what protector you use cant cover whole. I am using gorilla glass 3 screen protector. Most probably 25mm thick.

I've got a 0.18 mm tempered glass protector, it does cover most of it, but as @fahad2mail said, due to the curve at the edge there will be no tempered glass that cover the whole note 4. But who knows if there will be one in the future.
I have a tempered glass screen protector but the halo effect is horrible, I've only left it on there as it's keeping the screen pristine.

What is this halo effect people are talking about. I'm sorry perhaps a dumb question. But thought I'd ask.

Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I get that a little around the edges but I find removing grease and contaminats off via a little bit of IPA mixed with water allows it to sit tight with little "halo" effect.
My current Supashieldz b ( $6.99 ) from fleabay has minimal halo effect.
And put their own, or is the one the Op2 comes with good protection enough?
I took it off to replace with a spigen hd one. But it is a good one. Should have left it. Haha
Yeah I replaced mine with a glass one. The one on it is not to bad though. I just like glass protection and the feel.
Took it off today to replace with tempered glass, but it's OK protection for free.

Same as everyone else - I replaced it today after maybe 6-7 days and threw tempered glass on there. Smudge-free now.
Same. Replaced with tempered glass after a few days..prefer the feel and protection of tempered glass.

Well my uncle bough the opt for me, and I bought a tampered glass protector from OP for it, but my uncle says to use this one until it gets dirty then use the protector ;~; I can't argue since he bought me teh phone..

I have the tempered glass one for it from one plus but will wait a few days. Hard to believe it will be smudge free after I put it on. I was just concerned taking the free one off that it would leave some kind of residue.
It's a piece of cheap plastic which does no favors for either protection or screen clarity. Replace it with tempered glass, the difference is HUGE.

I have a pthink tempered protector coming, what's the best way to remove the original and replace with the tempered without dust and stuff getting underneath? Last time I tried I failed miserably and frisbeed the glass on into the wall
I just dislike screen protectors. Never had a problem with scratches on any phone in the past.
I ended up taking it off and put on tempered glass, I recommend it.

Which one did you install? Really smudge free?
Anyone installed the Non Glass screen protector from OnePlus ?
I have it and I'm wondering if it's better than the factory installed one.
I replaced mine with one of the Orzly tempered glass protectors, and it's WAY better than the stock. The stock one is fine, but it's a fingerprint/smudge magnet, and it's not as smooth as a glass protector. I've used Orzly protectors on all my devices and they're fantastic. The one I had on my 1+1 saved the screen after a drop in a parking lot. The protector took the impact and shattered instead of the screen.
Took off the free one in 24 hours. It was good except it was a fingerprint magnet. So many smudges. Happy with tempered glass.
I removed the stock, then applied the orzly tempered glass right after. Definite improvement!

The easy way of getting this explained is this. The phone comes with a thin layer that is OK at best. If you have a flip case then you might be happy with that but if your screen is going to be exposed then purchase a tempered glass 1. If your going to invest money in a device and it quite obvious that you will be looking at the screen a lot then protect it. Its not like it's gonna break the bank and you will never worry. ☺

Why doesn't anyone make a tempered glass protector for the rear of the phone just like they have for the front?? I love using my phone naked but I hate to scratch the back. I have tried clear skins but the feeling of plastic isn't one I want on my brand new phone

First guess? It's hard to make one that looks good considering the curved edges of the back.
I'm not sure whether the back peice is tempered glass as it doesnt make it abundantly clear but is something Like this what your looking for?

I am considering a clear skin for when I take it out of the case. I usually do this. Sometimes I like to enjoy the feel of the phone with the bulk of the case.
Not tempered glass, but it's something, https://www.armorsuit.com/collections/lg-g6/products/lg-g6-full-body-skin-protector
Devilcase tends to make them for xperias with their flatbacks. Maybe someone fluent in there language can ask

I didn't even know there was tempered glass on the back. I realized it on the first day when I dropped my phone and the back of the tempered glass was broken. Will this affect water proofing?

The back is Gorilla Glass 5.
The front is Gorilla Glass 3. (Why not 5???)

Allegedly GG3 is more scratch resistant than GG5, but GG5 is a lot better at protecting from impact.
