I just purchased this case after dealing with a couple of the cheaper plastic cases out there. I am wondering if the screen protector that came with it uses a water install or not. This one seems thick and durable like the official SE screen protector, I just don't want to ruin this one. I have done a number of "wet" installs with little to no problem and happy with the results. Any tips to warn off the dreaded "Boiling Bubbles."
I think it's better than the stock one. Feels more cushioned to me. Just make sure you are dust free and clean the screen. No bubbles, no hassle.
Cool. Just what I needed to know.

does anybody know what kind of plastic Samsung uses on the stock/default screen protector? I have looked at about 8 or 9 different so called "screen protectors" and they all have that "rubbery" or soft plastic feeling to them. the original one has the "galaxy note 2" logo and web address at the bottom and it is annoying but I like the way the original feels. so smoooooth.........
I rode my galaxy s epic 4g bareback for over two years all the way from froyo to jellybean. would be nice to find a screen protector that is smooth.
maybe I just have high hopes but I am hoping for the best. thanks in advance for anyone that helps or attempts to help.

Agree with you on the rubbery feel to most protectors, e.g. Invisishield, Phantom Skinz, etc. If you want one like the protector that comes on the phone then check out http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...note-2-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html. I have had their protectors on my GS2 and GS3 and will not use anything else, good protection with the feel of glass. Be advised that it takes a few days or so for the shield to 'loosen' up. At first it feels kind of 'sticky' but I think that's due to the manufacturing process but after some use(I presume after it gets some oils from your skin on it), it feels just like glass. Best protector IMO and I'm not alone in that opinion.
thanks. so what sub-choice would you recommend? ultra crystal, ultra fine, ultra oleophobic, or ultra optics? and does it have the same feel as the default screen protector that comes with the phone? sorry if I sound a little picky but I have spent well over $200 in screen protectors trying to get that "smooth" feel.
I really wish someone knew what type of plastic was used for the default screen protectors. when I called Samsung they were like "uuhhhh, I don't know".
Also, would be interested in figuring this out...I heard the Zagg protectors suck with device (along with all other wet application protectors). Anyone with a Spigen care to comment?

In my experience the cheap ones from ebay are the best. They are smooth and if it peels up (which I've never had happen in 2 years) or you don't get it on perfect, you probably got 5 for $5 anyway so it is not a big deal.

Here's what I use, and can't even tell there's anything there, and it doesn't effect the span functionality at all. I'm still on the first one. I bought a spigen ultra clear while waiting for these because I thought the shipper was was drop shipping the from china but they need up getting to me the next day which was like 6 days total I think. Needless to say I'll be selling the spigen when I get it.

I have a Spigen ultra clear as I did on my EVO LTE. The screen protector is really easy to apply with no wet application necessary. They look crystal clear, you cant even tell its there, and the only thing is that you have to wipe off fingerprints every now and again, which is the case with any screen protector. The screen protector feels great to the touch and does not affect the S-pen or sensors in any way that I can tell. I must warn that the screen protector does cover the whole screen but not necessarily the whole glass surface as there is probably a millimeter or two left uncovered on each side. It really is not noticeable or any thing to worry about. In my opinion, this screen protector is far superior to the cheap ones, which in themselves aren't too bad.
I recently sold my EVO LTE and the guy was shocked that there was a screen protector on the phone as he could not tell. He commented later that he didn't even know that they sold screen protectors that you could not see....lol....
threestripebrand, that looks almost like the default protector without the note 2 logo. is it sort of a harder smooth plastic? not like the rubbery feel ultra soft/flexible ones? because if so i'll order as soon as I get confirmation from you.

No zagg rubbery feel at all. Not even noticable. You wont be disappointed.

Thanks! Just ordered it.
Is there any company out there that makes screen protectors like SPG? Currently I have the Verizon screen protector with the diztronic tpu case and it's already peeling. I know Skinomi makes one but it's a wet application and I really don't like the feel of it. I know Skinomi has a sticky feeling to it like Zagg when you glide your finger on the screen. I have searched across the Web. Seems like no love for the Maxx.

No, Skinomi is the best protector. Zagg is a piece of crap! I have used multiple Skinomi protectors (never the whole body ones) and loved all of them. I have the Skinomi on my MAXX right now and my fingers glide like on polished glass. You have to be in a dust-free environment and have an assistant help spray your fingers with the applicator. There is a science to doing it right. Also the lifetime warranty is awesome.

Well I also got a screen protector for Droid ultra a month ago...this time I just tried to go for something different rather than following the same zagg and skinomi products...I purchased an Amzer universal screen protector...it was a bit costly but it is such a fine on the phone that it makes my cell phone screen safe and sound for lifetime... I have also purchased another one for my N7(2013) too...
Thanks...

SON OF A B... I feel like I am being punished for upgrading early or something! I have the anti glare screen protectors. The girl at the store did a GREAT job of putting them on. She even used scotch tape and everything to eliminate dust. Well...I'm on day 6 of use, and now my protector is peeling off. Why are so many things going wrong with my purchase! I'll call it bad luck and have her put a different one on and hopefully week 2 of my trial will go better and the notification volume issue will be resolved.
Wow those are pretty cool!

I agree with skinomi being on top, still have a skinomi on my original droid razr maxx for almost 2 years and you cant barely tell its on there.
I bought a skinomi and I think it sucks. When I think screen protector I think of something hard that can not be scratched. These "tech skins" are some kind of soft gel. I actually gouged it with my fingernail while swiping.
I use the xtremeguard. Feels rubbery and not as durable as I expected. I scratched it intentionally using my fingernails and it failed me.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
using skinomi.. it is a soft type material but protects well.. and the items it comes with just makes it easy to install. if you gauge it with any small scratches or even your fingernail.. dont worry about it, it heals itself back.
Here's a follow up on the verizon anti glare 3 pack. I'm still on my first one. It's got quite a few tiny marks but not visible when display is on.
Once in a while my defender or Trident cyclops cases will make the edge bubble ever so slightly but no dust has accumulated and upon removal of cases with built in screen protectors it goes away.

So has anyone found any glass screen protectors for the Droid Maxx? Phone's been out for a while and I still can't find any sellers..
nitro glass doesn't make one yet... im South New Jersey..and our mall has a kiosk called ClearCoat... pretty sick screen protector...
Another +1 for Skinomi. I am currently using it. Application was a cinch. And they have an application video to aid. It is applied and I put a Otter box on top. Feels and looks great. Not as stick or gelly as I expected. Perfect.
Friend still insists best buy sold tempered glass screen last year. Still searching.

Long story short, my mother just got this phone a few days ago and I know the amount of abuse she inflicts on her phones. She normally just throws it into her purse with all the other stuff. I'm trying to find a protector that can handle whatever may hit the screen. I've used Skinomi and like them but I've used a tempered glass protector and I like those a lot more. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type to get?
P.S. I already have found her a case, so the body of the phone should be safe.

I haven't seen any of those for the Ultra series yet. I have a Skinomi, and have had it on the phone for 5 months now - it's just fine. Occasionally the case will start to peel the edge a bit but it's always easy to get it to adhere back down. In fact, I haven't seen that happen in weeks.
So yesterday I removed my anti glare screen protector (verizon 3 pack) because it was due for a change. The screen was so hard to see, very shiny and reflective, but it did look slightly clearer.
But I became weary and installed another one. Lol.
Anyone have clear full body armor?

Received my sp today in the mail and I must first say I was very weary cause I've only used wet apply for years now as I was horrible at dry apply. I used the instructions provided and applied the sp using the hinge method. They provide everything needed including the tape, cleaning cloth and squeegee. It took me less than 3 minutes and it turned out perfect with no bubbles. I love it and I must say it feels so much better than the rubbery feel u get from the wet apply screen protectors. I would suggest this screen protector to anybody looking for an easy to apply protector with a beautiful finish.

I also received my TechMatte screen protector in the mail yesterday. I am pleasantly surprised with the product. The clarity and feel are excellent as is the fitment. The kit was very nice and included everything you need for a successful and clean install. Much like the OP I had the screen protector installed and bubble free within minutes of opening the packaging. The included tape for performing the hinge method of installation was very grippy and worked wonderfully. The microfiber cloth for precleaning the screen is also very nice and a good size. I also installed their HD screen protector on my Note 3 and am extremely pleased with those as well. I would not hesitate to recommend TechMatte's line of screen protectors to anyone looking for a screen protector for their device. Excellent quality at a great value. And they lifetime warranty their products and give free replacement if your screen protector becomes scratched or damaged. :good:
Does it feel cheap? I'm using an Illumnishield and it's okay, but attracts finger prints easily. Kinda makes your tablet look cheap.
Are you guys using flip cases as well? I have poetic slimline and I don't find screen protector necessary with it. However, had I no flip case I would definitely get one of these.

I dont use screen protectors either. Same case you have. I use my tablet primarily as my cars entertainment center. It mounts right above my radio. I tether it to my s4 and have grandfathered UL data. I dont use even use the poetic case on it unless it leaves my car. I bought a small padded pouch for it to lock in my glove box when I get out of the car. Most of the time it stays there. If I take it somewhere I just pop it in my case. I dont feel the need for a screen protector honestly. The glass is already scratch resistent so.

I got a freebie in the mail the other day and finally had the chance to install.
As far as install goes i used the hinge method. First time and it went smoothly. I got bit of dust under the protector near the corner but was able to get the corner up and cleaned the dust. I thought I blew it.
I had another brand's skin on but removed it and went with this. I like it.
I do feel a bit of drag but not much at all.
Great product, thanks.

I got a pack of Asus screen protectors. They are supposed to dry application. I chose the matte one. A friend of mine dry applied the screen protector, and left a bunch of bubbles, and a couple small creases. I washed the screen protector with some dish soap and hot water, and did a wet application. There is no dust or debris under the screen protector,and the only bubbles are because of the creases.
No bubbles here. They easily push to the sides.

Is it possible the touch sensitivity diminishes when the temp drops? I use my nexus as a GPS/map set up mounted on my motorcycle. Over the last few days I had quite a few dead taps when I was out riding in 45 to 55 F temps.

The real concern I have is the screen protector, which is the main reason I want it, I want a phone case with a built in screen protector. However I keep reading it doesn't do well with glare, or its difficult because you have to press so hard. I want to hear from someone that has experience though. If anyone could share, would be much appreciated.

Built in screen protectors suck. Aside from the problems you mentioned above, screen protectors are meant to get messed up (scratches and marks and stuff) and be replaced, with built-ins you're stuck with them. It's just a marketing gimmick. I have had experience with Ballistic's SG cover on my old phone (HTC One S) and it was brilliant, good material and it really works at the price of adding a little more bulk to the phone. I've just ordered one for my nexus a few days ago.
I'd say get the regular SG and get a pack of good screen protectors for the $15 you'll save.

Ah ok, I'm using i-blason's Armorbox and the built in screen protector is very good IMO, I was just looking for an upgrade, because the rest of the case sucks lol.
Thank you for your input, I will steer clear of the SG Maxx for now.

my brother owns one with his nexus
it surely does a gud job protecting the device
but im not a big fan of the look
I'm using the case without the included screen protector.
Yes, I own this case! It's a great case (if you're looking for protection), but out of honesty, the built in screen protector is rather disappointing. The plastic feels cheap and emits a rainbowing effect when placed in light. The protector is very thick, which lowers the sensitivity of the screen.
I attached two images. One showing you a front shot of the protector and the other showing a side shot to give you the gist of how thick the protector is.
Overall, the case is fantastic, but you'll be better off using a screen protector from a different company. Also, you might have a little trouble sliding this case into jeans. The rubber sticks to the cloth of the jeans and it's not easy to slide the phone in and out with the case on.
Hope I helped.
