screen protector for my note 3 9000

Hi
I have samsung note 3 and i am looking to buy scratch card
http://www.flipkart.com/capdase-pri...b_13&ref=b899ad89-c167-4203-aa96-00dc437306bf
but some of my friends saying that my phone comes with gorilla glass so suggest me no need of tempered glass as it wont work with it.
gorilla glass + tempered glass
so i requested you guys to help me out.
thanks in advance.

Even gorilla glass (1,2 & 3) can get scratched!
Glass screen protector may also protect the screen from drops as it its glass is almost tough as the Gorilla glass. Replacing an $8 glass screen protector is much cheaper than the $250 replacement screen.

Yes these days high-end phones comes with temper glass which doesn’t get light scratches like other does easily. But they still get scratches easily. So its always better to protect it. I ordered the phone with a SP and when I unboxed 1st thing I did is put the SP on.
So definitely you should get a screen protector immediately, mostly for the Note 3’s Lovely screen. But using any SP may damage the visibility. So always get a quality one. But for general use I don’t see any purpose of using tempered glass thicker one, I’m not going to scratch with a hammer on the phone. I don’t make sense why people use those.
Also as it’s a phone I cant see any purpose of Privacy Screen Protector, this can damage user’s visibility if you see from a tilted side, like watching movie in landscape view. And 1.4k INR for a screen protector? No way, I would never ever buy that.
I ordered this one from FK and still its working great, no damages in visibility.

Are you using a case on your Xperia Z3?

Case or no case?

Never been for the case. I would always opt for a 9H tempered glass. I've bought both the front and back Nilkin 9H tempered glass and it's been working pretty well for these two months. I recently dropped my z3 on the floor. No damage but the tempered glass did crack. If you don't mind taking away from the beauty of the phone, I would definitely recommend a case. I bought the Ringke clear case at first but it just made the phone look bulkier.

I have a Ringke, but like to use my phone bare, also have front/back glass protectors.
However in corner impacts the glass protectors will be useless as one person already found out, though he did it on purpose to show off .

I have a tempered glass 9H screen protector on the front and when I don't use the phone it lives in a slip case with a pull tab. When I do use it it takes all of a second or two to get it out and it's naked in my hands. I can't stand an ugly case that wraps around a phone. Why would anybody obscure the beautiful design of an item with a case? It makes no sense... Although like I say my compromise is a slip case.
My phone is in absolute mint condition with not a single fine scratch on the back yet so I reckon my system works pretty well for me.

No case here either. I just use a lanyard ring. It helps with holding/using the phone with 1 hand. Will probably get some cheap screen protector though because the phone is so slippery.
The phone design is too sexy, why cover it up?

Just a belt case when at work

I don't use a case, but I didn't vote because I don't think it's tough enough. I just don't like cases, they add bulk and ruin the design.
I do use a lanyard/strap though because the entire phone is slippery. I put a Xtremeguard back protector to make it less slippery, but the sides are still slippery as hell. I'm really considering using Plasti Dip on the sides.

Jokes aside, I agree with Shilent. No case or front screen protectors for me--it ruins the design and full experience of the phone. The only thing I would add is a protective sticker on the back so it doesn't slide on the table.

I voted no case, but don't think it would survive a drop....
Lol, Hanime.
Case really does ruin the phone, I only use the Ringke outside, that too occasionaly. After seeing Gorilla Glass 4 adverts by Corning showing 2x increase in impact resistance, espescially rough surfaces. I wish it had released in time for this phone.

Mine is naked now. My cruzerlite case lasted 3 days.

You should consider a tempered glass screen protector if you hate stickers. It's incomparable to the old idea of a plastic film protector.
It's 100% invisible and makes the screen look unbelievably beautiful while offering great protection if u should drop it.

How does something invisible make something look beautiful?
It won't add much protection to dropping your phone either, especially if it lands on the side of the device.

Carrying it naked absolutely out of the question for me.
I sell my phones every 2 months. Resale value is paramount, so I wont risk a small scratch or dent.
Yes the phone's design is sexy. However IMHO, using casemate tough case somehow adds to its beauty while adding more grip to it.

i'm using case right now, but a super thin 0.33mm clear TPU one . just for that extra safety feel

No case, because I know what the phone looks like, and I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks it looks like, and I want some protection against both drops and scratching from being in a pocket/general wear and tear over the 2 or 3 years I'm going to have it.

No case here! Just using a glass protector on the front and naked on the back because I couldn't find any.
I just hate the fact that my glass protector has cut outs for the sensors, doesn't fully cover around the speakers and has a cut out for the NOTIFICATION LIGHT. Seriously, wtf

Ok, now I just have a glass screen protector on the back and nothing on the front. I've been getting some scratches on back, so I need something on it.

God what a stupid reply. Firstly, because it's just another layer of glass it's pretty much invisible - but because it's glossy and of a high quality it compliments the resolution of the screen and makes it look really good.
Just look up some videos on YouTube where they are reviewed or something.
Also it protects the screen against drops - in almost every drop the screen protector shatters leaving the screen in mint condition. There are even a few videos where they are hit with a hammer and it's the screen protector that shatters, not the screen.
Erica Griffin did the same test. But for now, look at this:

I'm sorry, I was unware the glass on the front of our screen wasn't glossy and of high quality to begin with. Silly me.
I'm going to go buy a glass screen protector now so I can have beautiful display now.
Never did I say the glass screen protectors were nice, I use them myself.
If you read my post carefully I specifically said it's not going to protect it from a side impact, which it's not.
I swear, people get more retarded everyday.

I have an Ultimate Shield glass protector and it has only three cut outs... The two speakers (onbiously) and the sensor just to the left of the Sony logo. Everything else including camera and notification light works through the protector. This one is 9H hardness. Which one do you have then?

Maybe you should get a case to protect it from scratches? I've just recently got my X and immediately ordered a gel case and a hard case via Amazon for a company called Terrapin. I paid £5 for each one but unfortunately the Hardcase is for an X Performance but the gel one fits nicely as is doing the job well. As for screen protectors I ordered them on amazon too which include a protector for the rear of the phone, I haven't received them yet but I'll let you know anyhow. I've had a Z2 for almost 2 years with front and rear protectors on every time I've re applied the rear and front glass are absolutely immaculate, I've done very dirty jobs too so I'm really surprise on the condition lol.

But rounded corners in XX are hard to cover with tempered glass. I'll try to send it back becouse there is 5mm of air gap around the corners. The roundings on 2.5d display has 8mm deep into center of screen 3mm strong and 5mm low curve. I don't like fliped cases, silicon back is ok but I can't get it in poland.

Got few of these for USD 0.30 each (non full coverage), and the full coverage one you can get them from amazon.co.jp or yahoo.co.jp, the full coverage one has 4 version (not 100% sure if the information is correct), haven't received the full coverage one yet, should get it today or tmr. sorry can't provide direct link, forum doesn't allow me to do this. It stated for the XP version, but I think it should fit the X version, I will confirm whether it will fit the X version once I receive it.
normal one is available in 4 colors.
private one in black and white.
extra strong in black and white
mirror in black and white
I ordered 2 rose gold version, pretty expensive.

yah I will have to try them out at the local sony center on the X, I will get the XP, and I heard it's 1mm differences, but shouldn't affect the screen glass in anyway, just the main frame.

I seen that looks same as the cheap ones I got for USD 0.30 each, but without the back film piece.

I highly recommend mediadevil screen protectors the best non tempered glass ones I've found easily last 6mths+

Returned mine tempered glass yesterday. Guy from that store recommended me to use nanotechno-gel ...some kind of liquid glass protector (h9 hard???) I'm consider to apply it. Did anybody here try something like this?

not had any scratching issues despite taking it on a weeks hiking holiday with it in my pocket, that said phone was only thing in my pocket, no coins, keys etc
am looking for a well made tempered glass cover, one i bought was way too small i sent it back.

Interesting, mine is holding up better than most of my previous Xperia phones (no visible scratches yet) with no protection whatsoever

This is the KlearLook tempered glass screen protector I recently bought on Amazon, as you can see there is a thick perfect bubble all the way around the edge which is ever so irritating. Rather than send it back I've kept it as it's doing the job, I may look elsewhere soon for better.

It has glass centered (0.21mm thickness), PET edge and adhesive under the glass and PET, adhesive runs upto about 1.5mm to the edge.
This is for the XP, but it should work for the X, I will have to confirm this later on.

Just a few days ago I bought one full screen coverage and body but the price after tax so crazy, less 26$ for that glass screen protect.

How to remove the plastic film from the back

So, since I've bought my Moto Z Play second hand there were som tiny scratches on the back panel. Lenovo says this is Gorilla Glass and while hardened glass is still pretty easy te scratch the backside of the Moto Z Play seems way to soft for it to be Gorilla Glass. I searched online for this problem and it seems that many people have scratched backpanels on their Play's. There are soms posts of people saying there's some kind of plastic film on the backside which is hard te remove but I didn't seem to find definitive answers (in English, at least). In the end I decided to try it for myself. I ordered a screen protector for the back panel and as soon as it arrived I started to check if the backpanel was indeed covered. Short answer: it is! It's not a normal screen protector but a "shatter guard", a very thick but quite soft plastic film which holds the glass together when it breaks. I have earlier experiences with shatter guards (Sony used them a lot in the past) and you can remove them with some care. I've replaced it with a regular screen protector and I will show you how.
DISCLAIMER: Removing the shatter guard is not endorsed or advised by Lenovo. If you do this it's all on your own risk. You may void your warranty. It's not really hard to do but for me this is maybe the 1000st time since it's part of my job. There's always a chance you break something in the process so keep this in mind. Also, you'll lose the shatter guard functionality!. If the glass breaks, pieces of glass may come loose.
Start peeling off the film in a corner. This is easily done with your nails. You can feel a little edge between the glass and the aluminum rim.

If you can hold the lip, slowly start pulling the shatter guard. It's glued to the backpanel so you need to use some force. To avoid breaking the glass panel you might want to take the shatter guard between your thumb and middle part of your index finger so you can hold the little finger side of your hand to the phone.
This was the easy part. The shatter guard is now removed and you're left with a very sticky phone. There's a lot of adhesive on the backpanel which should be removed. This can be a nuisance depending on the kind of remover you have. Alcohol plus a soft cloth is very safe to use but takes ages (I used this). There are products specifically made to remove sticker residue but I do not know if this will have any impact on the chemically hardened glass.
Well there it is, the shiny Gorilla Glass. I tried to scratch this with a razor blade but it didn't budge. This is the pure glass surface here.
After more and more cleaning the sticker residue is now al gone. Took me a good hour to do.
Afterwards I installed a Nilkin screen protector. The backside is now scratch-free and if it scratches I just replace the standard screen protector which only takes a few minutes.

Do you have a link to the Nilkin protector? I'm thinking about doing this.

Alcohol is not what you want for adhesive.
Use Ronson liquid lighter fluid, Goo Gone or those medical pads for EKG pads.
Turpentine, Kerosene even ATF work well.
Let it soften a while. 5 min job.
It does not take much to soften it. Put WD 40 on a a very small piece of cloth and wipe it on. Let it soak in for 5 min.
A small paint or makeup brush is nice.

I'm well aware of this. But as I wrote; I have no clue if any of these substances affect the glass or even the internals of the phone. The Moto Z Play isn't exactly water tight and fluids can leak into the phone at the camera, mod connector and edges. Do you have more information on this?

WD40 IS mostly Kerosene.
You put it on lightly it SHOULD not be a problem.
But no, no more info.
The phone is glued together!!!

I would be more inclined to do something like this if someone made a tempered glass back panel protector. Replacing plastic with plastic that is not designed to be shatterproof doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That said I have a clear TPU case protecting the back and sides, so no scratches yet. It adds practically nothing to the size and i can still see the white and gold in all its glory.

Thank you for this. I took mine off not thinking about glue residue. Did you use something like a glass cleaning cloth? Currently I have a skin on the back now but the mods aren't sticking well. Does the nilkin effect the mods sticking on as much as a skin?

Unfortunately I can't find tempered glass for the back panel yet. It would be great if it actually existed. And for removing the shatter guard; it's not an enormous problem. Most phones do not have this.

I used a microfiber cloth + 96% alcohol. The alcohol only helps a bit but it's the most safe solution. Any softener would certainly work better but may affect the rest of the phone.
Btw;I only have a Style cover which works perfectly fine with the screen protector.

Got it off using some 91% alcohol, some coffee filters, and some elbow grease! Thanks!

Ive been trying for hours...cant find a plastic film on the back ?

Does removing this film make mods fit without that annoying gap around the edges?

I honestly don't know about the mods. I guess it makes almost no difference. There's no real difference with the style cover. The shatter guard is really thin.

New and Updated - OTAO Glass Screen Protector Works Great!

]I purchased this glass screen protector back when the S9 Plus was originally released and it worked great. I loved it. BUT, I had some issues with Dropped Calls on my S9 Plus and had to return the phone. I just received the replacement phone and I had no trouble making the decision to getting the OTAO glass screen protector again.
I was very surprised and pleased to discover that they had made some additional improvements to what already was an awesome glass screen protector. From what I understand, they added additional adhesvive around the edges. NO this is not a full screen adhesive, but I found that It really doesn't need full screen adhesive to be effective. I have installed this screen protector and use a case (Ringke Fushion) and it works GREAT.
No loss in touch responsiveness - no issues at all - They do inlcude a plastic guide that helps to facilitate proper installation and I have found that the plastic guides really do help to insure the screen protector is placed properly - perfectly centered on the screen.
So I give my highest reccomendations for the OTAO Glass Screen Protector - NEW AND IMPROVED.

I don't have pictures yet - but will get some taken when my wife gets home (or maybe tomorow) the link is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JV6ZYF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has adhesive on the edges only - but it holds very well - No lift at all from the case I am using and the case rides up pretty high on the corners and the edges and doesn't cause any issues at all. The glass seems to be full coverage from what I can tell. It is a very good screen protector..

How is touch sensitivity with this protector? Do you need to increased touch sensitivity in the settings to use it well?

Found this one on amazon... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07B...l+adhesive&dpPl=1&dpID=41RhK1whyLL&ref=plSrch

If it's not full adhesive don't waste your money. Honestly people, I wasted so much money trying to find one for the S7 EDGE two years ago.

Touch sensitivity is great and no, I did not change the touch sensitivity frm whatever the default settings were. It is now day three - I have the S9 Plus in a Case (RIngke Crystal Fusion) and I have had ZERO problems with the OTAO Glass Screen Protector.
Honestly, I don't have a problem with glass screen protectors that don't offer full adhesives on the glass. The manufacturers like OTAO have learned to put the right amount of adhesive around the edges (there is more now than that they used to put on them a long time ago) and with the plastic GUIDE they provide to help you install the glass properly, there are considerably less issues than way back when curved screens were first out.
the key to glass screen protectors working on curved screens is proper placement. The screen protector has to be exactly centered on the screen. if it is too far to one side or another (even by only a little) that is when you have issues with the case pushing up on the screen or poor responsiveness when typing or whatever.
PLACEMENT - it is absolutely critical. That's why having the plastic guide included with the OTAO (and other similar glass screen protectors) helps to insure a good installation and quality protection that is really affordable.

Guys I bought the same screen protector. Here's some photos in the Poetic Revolution case. I'll add my thoughts. The screen protector is very nice. The tray guard made it pretty easy to install. Its not a full adhesive protector so the glue is around the sides. Make sure when installing you press hard around all the black edges to make it seal better. Its a dot matrix protector but the dots aren't easily seen so it must be a newer type. Make sure to turn up the screen sensitivity for screen protectors in the settings and it makes it like its not even there. The edges really smooth right over the sides. The one I had on my pixel 2 xl didn't do this and had sharper edges and made dust stick to them. This one is so much better. It also fits perfectly inside the Poetic Revolution case with the built-in protector popped out.

The ESR I have is nice, but the glue strip can be seen on the sides. Although it is "clear", you can still see it and touch sensitivity sucks even with the enhanced option on. I will return it and try another one.

IMHO all edge based adhesive glass protectors are a waste of your valuable money. Stick with TPU wet / dry film or maybe Whitestone Dome LOCA based tempered glass protectors.

You are entitled to your opinion - frankly I have found that many edge only screen protectors work really well. It's all about getting it installed properly - I don't see glue on the edges of the one I am using - and don't get dust there either. I haven't changed settings at all and touch sensitivity and responsiveness is great. Absolutely no complaints.
(now I have tried some edge only protectors that sucked - they click when you type on the keyboard or wouldn't let you type the letters on the far left or right) but when the manufacturers started including guides for installation and increased the glue around the edges, the quality of many of them ended up getting much better.

I installed a Glass Screen Protector from OTAO as soon as my S9 Plus arrived today and I have to say I am extremely impressed with the fit and quality of this glass screen protector.
It is the XLAMBO version - extra thick glass that essentially makes it much harder to crack when you drop your phone. Installation was very easy with the included plastic guide and I lose absolutely no responsiveness at all - the screen works as well as it did before I installed the Otao Glass Screen protector.
I also installed a case with this Screen Protector and there is zero interference from the case at all, it doesn't raise the glass up at the corners or sides like some other glass screen protectors have had problems with. and the price was very reasonable - under $12 bucks. Of course they include a full warranty so you don't have to worry if the glass does crack while protecting your phone.
The glass screen protector comes down very close to the sides of the phone, giving you full coverage - with a case on, it seems and feels like there is no space at all, all the way around the phone, top, bottom, sides and corners.
I am using the RINGKE Clear Fusion Case but I am confident it will work a bunch of other cases as well

I cannot find the XLAMBO version of OTAO on amazon at all. Where did you buy it at?

Amazon. I am not sure if it is a special type or if they are all the same. If you ask them on Amazon I am sure they can help you. Good luck

Lol, I bought a 3x pack from a generic Chinese ebay seller for about 2 bucks and they worked perfectly. No bubbles, no scratches, adhered to edges perfectly, and 0 touch sensitivity issues.

How's the adhesive? all the ones I tried, it BARELY hangs on. Can you see if it is easy to lift up? Link us to yours.
