[Q] Screen protector on Note 3 - Yay or Nay?

So the Galaxy Note 3 Manual says: "Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions."
Src: Page 9 of http://www.note3manual.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Manual-PDF-N9005_JellyBean_English.pdf
Has anyone had any issues using a screen protector? Is the added protection worth whatever "malfunction" you might have to deal with?

I've had no issues using an Invisible Shield screen protector for over a week.

i dont know most people wont have any issues out of a screen protector i dont use them just for the fact of i dont like the feel of them

I use Hard-Shield Nano Coating Screen Spray on Protector (also known as Dynaflo LIQUID-ARMOR Universal Invisible Nano Tech Screen Protector) and it works great for 6 months, then you just reapply. It's really easy to apply and it comes with the best microfiber cleaning cloth I've ever found, too.

I've been using screen protector and never had problems .

Gorilla glass 3 doesnt need a screen protector. Unless you all walk around with pockets full of sand. Might I add they make the screen look horrible, they smudge and grey over. All you need is a good spigen case and you are good to go.

I use Mime USA's Ghost Tempered Glass & it works perfectly. It works with gloves on when I have the screen sensitivity on to full blast. That's the one I use & WILL ONLY use. VERY affordable & works GREAT with the S-Pen. A MUST investment if you are going to rock the sweet 5.7 inch 1080p Galaxy Note 3. :good:

You couldn't be more wrong. Everyone that's seen my phone never EVEN realize that it has a screen protector. Mine is as CLEAR as glass because it IS a piece of tempered glass. It makes Gorilla Glass 3 literally shatter proof. This is a MUST especially considering the giant 5.7 inch 1080p screen the Galaxy Note 3 has.

Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof, a good screen protector will not even be noticeable.

I use the Spigen Ultra Crystal and you cannot even notice it is there.
I don't think it smudges anymore than a naked screen.

hey if you want to waste your money on something useless and degrades the quality of the super amoled pixally goodness its your perogative *thumbs up
gorilla glass 3's ndr rating is effectivly 3 times more resistant to scratches than GG2. If you can scratch this screen you dont deserve to own a $700 device.
I suppose it has its uses though. Like if you ever need to sos a comercial passenger plane at 30,000 feet you should have no problems with the glare those things put off.

Accidents happen, I don't mind "wasting" a little money to protect the screen on a $800 device. Again, it's scratch resistant not scratch proof, if it was scratch proof then I wouldn't use one. To each their own I guess.

I use XtremeGuard on mine. It cost 3.99 on ebay and it has better quality than invisibleshield--IMHO. I've used it on my pebble, wife's s4, my note 2, and my note 3, and I 've been nothing but satisfied. I don't know if I can post a link to it, but just search XtremeGuard Note 3 in ebay.
*Note--no pun intended--this is a wet install protector. I prefer this because dust is less likely* Also you will have to wait about a half a day before you can effectively use the spen after your install

I find that a can of compressed air gets rid of all dust...if done properly

I disagree with your statements. Gorilla glass 1, 2,3 is nothing special. It scratches just as easy if not easier than other screens out there. I honestly believe that gorilla 3 is worse than 2. My GN3 Gorilla glass 3 scratched before i could get a screen protector on it. I did nothing out of the ordinary. GG3 is super easy to scratch and I would put apples glass as superior in scratch resistance from my experience.
I think a good quality screen protector is needed, and I agree that some do interfere with the picture quality but not all do.

I use iloome tempered glass screen protector and I also have a spigen slim armor love it no rainbow effects you can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

[Q] Verizon Note 3 tempered glass

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.

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 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.

Yes we do.
Today I was very dishearted to notice a few micro scratches on my screen.
So now I have to buy a screen protector as I prefer using the phone naked. I was hoping to not buy one because the phone is so beautiful and glass protectors are so expensive, but compared to the amount I will have to pay to get an insurance claim on the phone, it's cheap. I am so disappointed in myself. I love my phone very much and thought I was taking very good care of it, but I guess I wasn't as careful as I should be. I bought into the hype of GG4 and not it's going to cost me.

Owed my Note 4 since its release with no screen protector and far not one scratch.
But in fairness I'm usually good about not getting scratches on my phone. Im always aware when I put it in my pocket making sure I have no keys for items that will cause scratches.

No scratches here. I'm rocking the tech 21 impactology case (most of the time), no screen protector.
I've had this note 4 since the 3rd day they were out.

I will always use a screen protector...for the sole fact that its a biatch to keep it clean lol

I was able to buff out the micro scratches. Still looking for a good screen protector though.

Glad you got the micro scratches buffed out. We sell a lot of these:

Keep a screen protector on. It helps with the resell value.

Can't allow even the slightest scratch to impede my vision while watching movies on the moon... so yes, I use protection.

Guys just use the glass protector

They were really hard to see so I just kept rubbing the area with a micro fiber cloth for about 30 minutes. They are still there but you have to put the phone real close to your face with light coming from the side.
I found a $25 tempered glass screen protector today after work at a mobile phone store. There is a halo effect, but I feel much better now. I'm still looking at this one though.

Is the camera glass Gorilla Glass? Cause I got a pretty big gouge on it. Luckily it is off center.
Yeah, about the micro scratches...are they just a scratch on the coating of the glass? Wait, does the glass have a coating?

The micro scratches most likely come from pieces of sand in pockets. They can do a number on a display.

Doesn't toothpaste cover small scratches? Might wanna try that.

There is always this debate with every new phone. I got a few micro scratches in the first month of owner ship. Just like every other device. Better safe than sorry because unless your screen is made of diamond resistant is not the same as scratch proof.

Lol screen protector is not expensive . Got me a pair of 6 really good ones I love them came even tell they are there. DO NOT BUT ANTI GLARE. It ruins the beautiful display. Got mine for $13 from Amazon.

Used tempered glass through out my note 3. Bought one for my note 4 till it got nasty. Got some regular ones that supposedly they are made for AMOLED display and RETINA.

Im impressed by it . . . I I dropped my phone on the train platform after stepping out the train with sview case. Screen was still flawless.
Needless to say I did but an otterbox as my commuter and save the s view when I wann abe sexy.
Overall the note 4 drop test versus nexus 6 really shows the strength of CGG4.

The tmobile screen protector is pretty decent, they are $18 but they will usually discount to $10. Most important it does not impede vr gear. After a week of use the protector smooths out and is completely unnoticeable to touch. For gear s I use the Iq screen protector and it's flawless

I got my Note 4 home, examined and admired it's beauty, and then put it in an otterbox defender!!! Better safe than sorry!

This phone must have screen protector

I got that phone for a month now when I looke at the screen after polishing it with fiber cleaner I noticed many scratches unlike the one m8 whose glass was much more durable to me also the gorilla glass3 is more durable than the glass4 so I am posting this to make people know that you need a screen protector for your smartphone

I have never understood why people don't spend a couple of pounds on a screen protector.
You spend hundreds on a device and then rely on good luck to keep the screen perfect.
Whatever Corning and others say, mobile screens aways get scratched after a while. A sacrificial protector just makes sense.

because it get bubbles, it doesnt look as good (matte protector) and you have to put it on damn near perfect to align everything up. I switch phone ever 6-8 months, been like this ever since the Google G1, never had I have my screen scratch. Heres an Idea, put your phone and your keys in a separate pocket.

I have never had bubbles as I spend
5 minutes putting it on properly!!!! And never use a matte protector (never seen the point) - either glass or decent plastic.
No offence to you but most people can't afford to change every few months but can afford a screen protector.
Also - of course re keys and coins are a a problem but screens scratch in normal use ..... and don't forget accident protection.

like I said, put your keys and phone in a different pocket or dont wear skinny jeans and put coins in there with your phone...there are plenty of test proving that Gorilla glass 3 and 4 can withstand tougher test than the occasional keys or coins.
if you force your screen with a knife or a screw driver then yea with enough force it'll probably scratch, otherwise enjoy the technology to it fullest.

Actually, it's more likely that you'll scratch it with sand or dirt than keys or coins. In any case, just because the OP scratched his screen doesn't mean we all will. I've never used a screen protector on my OPO (which merely has Gorilla Glass 3), and after a year it's not all scratched up.

Happy for you guys to take the risk!!!!

Sometimes its not people not wanting to spend that extra few bucks but if you are getting a normal plastic protector, the screen is not as smooth as the original glass one . also the oleophobic coating wears off easily when people do not use any screen protectors

I have the Spigen screen protector, and it's perfect. Feels as hard as the screen, no soft rubbery feel. Also crystal clear. Yes it's hard to get a good fit, but I'd rather scratch a screen protector than the screen, especially when it comes to sell the phone on.

Flip cover for me. No any risk in the pocket or elsewhere out of use. For so many years I never had any scratch from normal use, had once an accident where the screen was destroyed from dropping with no chance a screen protector would have changed anything. I like the feeling to use the screen as it has been designed by the manufacturer without artifact.

Flip covers can cause scratches worse than without if something gets in between the screen and the cover and then it rubs in the same place.

Right! Especially if by chance a sandpaper slips between the cover and the screen.... hopefully that never happened to me.

I don't like using screen protectors either, I think it takes away from the quality of the phone.
I get why people have them, I understand that it doesn't necessarily have to be metal that scratches your screen but just dirt/sand from inside your pockets. All of that makes sense. Even the case for resale value.
However, I just don't like the feel of having a screen protector on my phone. I spent $700+ on my phone, I want the screen to be strong! Lol
How many generations of gorilla glass must we go through before this is the case!?!?!?
Anyway, the best screen protector I have ever used was on my iPhone 6 Plus, I think it was a Spigen glas.tr
It was amazing and covered the WHOLE phone, even the bezels.
If Spigen (or someone else) came out with one for the Note 5, I would consider giving it a try.
I tried the one Spigen currently has "Galaxy Note 5 Screen Protector Crystal" - Optical base PET film material
It just didn't feel as good as the regular screen, so I took it off.

I am on my 4th phone without a screen protector. I guess it just depends how much dirt you get in your pockets. I get none so my phones survive. If i worked an outdoor job or in a dirty warehouse i would put a protector on.

How did you manage to scratch it?

I took mine off to put the official 3d tempered glass screen protector on. I did not like that one, so now my phone is naked while I wait for a different one.
No scratches so far, and I've dropped it on tile a few times :fingers-crossed:

I have no clue. I bought the OnePlus tempered glass but it sucked so I took it off. I've ordered an orzley one, but I'm not sure when it'll be here.

I've ordered the Orzley tempered glass protector and have left the factory installed protector on until it arrives. The factory installed screen protector already has small scratches as it is a very low quality vynl protector. This will be the first device that I've had used tempered glass but I always use a screen protector having learned my lesson way back in the pre-gorilla days. I simply hate the inevitable tiny scratches plus I hold onto my devices longer than most people. E.g. I came to this OP5 from a Nexus 5. I've also bought a cheap gel case and am waiting for a dBrand skin.

Ear wacks?

I removed it... Tried the glass from OnePlus, but it sucked hard to be honest. It didn't fit at the edges... I'm hoping that since the phone has gorilla glass, it would not scratch so easily. The phone looks much better without the factory protector.
