I bought a ago steinhel flex and I put it on my phone but after only two days one corner has been lifted I don't know what went wrong, I bought it specifically because I read wet protectors don't lift up on the edges :/ . I'm guessing is because I have a Neo hybrid sgp case which has really tight borders.
I just ordered a sgp ultra hybrid which borders fit a little looser on the phone, what do you say should I buy another steinhel flex? Or maybe try the sgp oleophobic which is supposed to be smaller, but it is a dry application which people here are not fans of, maybe try the xo skins case fit?

Tpu cases usually work well. Try diztronics revision 3.
let it be.
the 6 for a dollar ones I get from eBay doesn't interfere with any of my cases. I always suggest those.

it's a common problem for phones whose screens are almost in line with the bezel and if you have a case that covers the bezel. the only solution i saw is to use a smaller protector so the corners of the case would not touch the corners of the protector so it prevents lifting.

the man who's post i will forever keep in my sig. hahaha. good you mentioned that. i didn't actually use my diztronic protector as i have a capdase klia on my gnex. but since it's cut between the size of the actual screen and the one that sgp makes, it seems to not give me any peeling off issues. i guess i'll just keep my free diztronic protector then. hehehe
chances are you have the full screen version if you got the rev3 case. i think the almost to the edge sp's were shipped with earlier versions of the tpu.
i have the full screen xoskins using my diztronic. it doesn't lift the corners or anything!

I agree with you. I used to waste money on "premium" wet and dry screen protectors but I end up going back to cheap plasticy screen protectors lol. They are so easy to apply, no yellow peel, no draggy feeling and I can just replace them any time I want with peace of mind

Haha, yeah exactly! I used to get mad at myself for spending like 14-15 bucks on those wet application types... And only for it to peel off and make the screen look ugly.
I was so mad today. I bought the xo screen protector and had it on for 2 days. I decided to go for a jog and used my arm band case. After the run I tried to remove it from the arm band case, the plastic on the case stuck on the glass of the phone so tight it actually lifted the screen protector while I was trying to remove it so it got ruined. Just a heads up for those getting those "wet application" protectors. Ordered those plasticy clingy ones right after.

1+ Also, tried most of the wet applied ones and these are a lot nicer, no orange peel to worry about with these.
I'm thinking about having my phone naked....... well, sort of. What I mean is, I was thinking of adding the SGP Glas for the front. So now the front will be protected. Then I would have a bumper protecting the sides of the phone. For the back I would have an invisible shield, Even if I do happen to drop it I can easily buy the back panel since its cheap. Do you think this would be a smart way of having my phone feel naked and having great having protection?
I just love the naked slim body of the phone. I do have a diztronic case even though the case has very little bulk, its still does not the feel the same.
Looking for some advise
What I would buy to do this is...

You don't need to protect the screen at all, gorilla glass is much stronger than your flimsy plastic sheets you put on it. If something can scratch gorilla glass, that "screen protector" will not stop it at all. A weaker object can't protect a stronger object.
What you need to protect is the phone's back. I use my phones naked always. I've never had much problem. However with SGS3, my phone's back is covered with scratches. I don't remeber having any other phone with a backplate this vulnerable.

I'm also using SGP glas on my S3, but I use with Samsung's slim case. This thing add literally no thickness at all! And it protects back and the camera. I thought about using SGP ultra bumper case but I'm worried about camera lens since it doesn't provide any kind of protection around.

Does using a screen protector take away the essence of the S3's beautiful screen? I am very careful about keeping my phone away from coins, keys, etc. and am confident about not getting the screen scratched; my only concern is the finger oil marks that are left on the screen.
Will a screen protector resolve this issue?
I am confused.
Why not using a pouch like this one? http://mobil.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3276708_-slimcase-leather-xl-bugatti.html

Be careful with samsung ultra slim in 0.3mm
I got them ( there are 2 differents in package) and both suffer hot temperatures! I have no photo atm but i can clearly say that they deform themeselves if exposed at some high temperature(for example when you play game or any sort of thing that increase battery temperature)
they are curved now and dont fit well..
So i gone with the tpu ,always samsung offcial, and all is awesome (but you lose the naked but protected feel xD)
When i read naked i thought you meant to take the motherboard out and put it in a transparent case/shell to show the insides....
Why not try a Zagg invisible shield. I'vehad one on my SGS since the beginning and also on my GTab. It'll be the first thing I get on my next mobile upgrade. You can get maximum protection (front, back, sides) or just front protection.

there are plenty of videos of people scraping keys,knives, and other sharp objects across the screen with no effect, even sandpaper which resulted in very faint scratches
my phone has flip case... and the screen's scratched to ****. If gorilla glass is scratchproof then i'm the king of mars
So then, is a screen protector absolutely essential? I'd rather have the screen naked, then use a screen protector.
I have, however, got a pretty nice body for the phone that covers and protects the back well.
Hello all, I like Ghost Armor for the body of devices but their screen protectors suck and get carved up by the stylus.
What are some of the harder and smoother protectors that work well with the Note's stylus?

It increases a friction a bit initially but over about a week it'll smooth out and write well. I don't get any stylus marks. I clean the protector occasionally with zagg foam and it's like new. I have the full body version. As a warning if you get the back protector it needs to be cut to accommodate the s-pen. I've been working with zagg to get them to fix it. I ended up just cutting mine.
I am hoping for glass smoothness. I finally got the SPG glas on my Note LTE and it really spoiled me but they don't make that in 10.1 size.

I also have Zagg screen protector. It does have resistance. The pen does not move freely on the screen. It does leave marks on the protector.
The screen can self healing so most of marks will disappear after a while.
Zagg suggest uses of Turtle Wax. Performance is acceptable with turtle wax apply to it weekly.

Its a little thick and sometimes I have to press a little hard but it works great other than that.

Thanks, gmfeny, for the heads up on Zagg. This was discussed in the larger screen protector thread. I'm at the armor suit website now. Did you get the screen protector for 19.95? Is it Glossy? This looks like it adheres similar to the Clear-Plex brand. Thanks.
I got it from amazon I think for around $19 and it came with the clear body shield to protect the rest of the tab. It is glossy not one of those dull anti glare ones and its a wet application or whatever its called so you can't really mess up putting it on.

I got a Steinhill (SGP) for $20 from Amazon. I use them for all of my devices and they stand up really well. They are difficult to apply because one spec of dust will ruin it. Take your time applying (in a steamy bathroom is helpful) and all will be good.

I use the Xtreme guard screen protector. It is similar to the Zagg protector people have been talking about, It is self healing so has no scratches, even after my 2 year nephew got on it with a pen...
At the moment Xtreme guard are having a sale, If you buy 2 protectors use the coupon code 75off2 and you'll get a good deal.
It is also put on using water. You need to soak the protector in water, take off the cloudy protective backing and put it onto the note 10.1 screen wet. Make sure the tab is off. It's pretty easy, take about 10 minutes and once on is really good. If you need to take off it comes off fairly easily but you won't take it off accidentally...
They also have a body shield too that keeps everything looking new...
Just purchased a couple new protectors, code is still good... Would've been $15 for screen and body protector X2 if I lived in America but since I live in Oz it cost $19..
I got my clear plex screen protector yesterday and is awesome. I go through screen protectors like crazy. Heard about clear plex the other day and truly impressed. Stylus does not stick as I use my note for graphic designs and freehand drawing.

Was the clearplex hard to install. I have had really hard time with Zagg in the past so I am a little leary to try to install the the clearplex because I don't want to mess it up.
Installed a bodyguardz last night. I've trusted their gear on all devices. Epic 4g, iPhone 3g, S3, and now my note 10.1. It seems to be pretty smooth. Easy to install with the lube they send. Doesn't seem to keep finger prints and comes with a fancy microfiber as well.
Hi, you can try replacing the tip of the stylus with the full white plastic tip. It will be smoother.
Sup guys, I have the diztronic tpu case, which is awesome by the way, feels exactly like the nexus 5 itself without adding much bulk.

You're good to go, I have a spigen protector on my screen & am using the diztronic case. You just gotta make sure you put it on straight/lined up.
The first time I applied it, it was a little crooked so the material was a little off the side, so the case made that bubble type effect on the corner. I peeled it off quickly & reapplied it & it has been perfect ever since.
I have earrings & I like that the screen protector still isn't scratched up like others.

Do you have the glas.t or glas.tr? I would imagine that it might be better to put the protector on with the case on. That way it can center itself inside the frame of the case.

The Diztronic case does not work well with the GLAS.tR. The case causes the protector to lift off the screen in areas.

Well its not perfect, sometimes the front of the case gets up against the glass instead of on top of the glass and I have to pull it over it. It did lift up the edges the first day, but now it doesn't. I did not put the case on after the glass for 6 hours. Then I put the case on and made sure it was on top of the glass and left it overnight. Had issues the next day lifting the edges, I just kept pushing it down and since then has been perfect. The thinner mime feather might be better for the case but I'm happy.

Case took only a few days to get used to and it's worth it. Helps when the materials are soft touch as on the Fusion Hybrid.

Shellster case for my N5
Hi
I use this shellster case for my N5 and for still I have not used any screen protector on my N5 as it protects my phone completely it does not let the screen to touch surface even when I put it on the table even from the screen behalf...it has a 180 stand view that also makes me comfortable for media viewing in both mode in landscape and portrate and it also ensures the safety of my phone quite well too..so I like this case and would recommend too...the only thing I just need to update in it is to have some protection in the lower end as it is open from their...but that hardly effects as it covers the corners properly...so simply I have a case with a combo of Holster and Kick stand....So I just love it and quite happy with it.....
I was using an extreme guard screen protector...but it was coming up at the corners and looked pretty aesthetically displeasing so I took it off a few days ago.. the bare glass is so nice and smooth to the touch... I think I will let the Gglass do it's job until I have to run into my old nemesis quartz sand when I go to Florida this spring break

No case, no screen protector.
First we don't need a screen protector, the screen is hard enough to protect from friction.
Second you'll waste the original back of N5, course the touch feeling of any other case cannot be better than the skin like material.
That's my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Actually, the screen can very easily scratch, all it takes is a bit of sand or dust in your pocket. Glass is harder than steel, so keys are not a concern, but most sand is silicon, which is the same hardness as glass, and some sand or dust can even be corundum or diamond, and there is just no way to stop that from scratching any surface.
