I just purchased one on amazon from ArmorSuit. Gotta be one of the best screen protectors out there. Way Way better then skinomi and the majority that is out there. 5/5 stars. Just my honest opinion. Want to help out those who are looking for something of quality. Go ahead and give it a try, you wont regret it.

Is invisible shield just not good anymore?
I think I'll try this Armorsuit...I just received the SGP screen protector....suck and overpriced..lucky I got it from Amazon...easy return service....
I got the Steinheil Ultra Crystal (SQ) and the fit (some air around the camera) and quality is really good (been using Steinheil screen protectors for years on my phones). I got my from Amazon.com and its kinda expensive but its like $21/year =).
This isn't the place I got my, but you can see all the different types.

couldn't find one here, hence bought a notebook screen protector and pruned it for perfect fit on my galaxy tab plus used the remnant for my phone.
I'm worried if I put an Invisibleshield screen protector on my GT 10.1 it will leave a permenant haze or film on the the screen when I decide to take it off. Can anyone offer any information? Thank you
I got this.

3x screen protectors for $10 shipped. They're matte. Fit almost perfect (1mm smaller than the actual glass to prevent lifting).
I dont see any reason for a screen protector other than wanting to have a matte screen to remove the glare.

Most of us actually prefer our screen (gorilla glass or not) scratch-free. Having a protector gives you ease of mind when rubbing a smudge or fingerprint off too.

I just installed that exact same one from the same seller. Fits perfectly, especially around the camera and ambient light sensor. It adds a little bit of a grainy texture to the display, but all anti-glare films I've used do that. Not sure if it's really got an anti-grease / oleophobic coating as mine has some decent fingerprints, but the matte surface hides it well.
Tip to line it up the first time: before you take off the backing, line it up how you want it. Scotch tape it 3x on one of the edges, preferrably the one with the pull-tab for the backing. Make a tape handle for the opposite end of the screen. When you're ready to install it, hold the tape handle and pull the backing off with the tab, then pull the handle tight as you lay down the protector.
Trust me, I went through at least 7 different screen protectors (I got the Asus, Acer, and Samsung) and this is by far the best one out there. Good luck.

How does it stack up against InvisibleShield and the other 3M Scratchguard types? I usually don't like the texture on those.
Don't know about the ones I've been hearing about in this thread, but I've got InvisibleShield on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm probably never taking it off. It works wonders and I have the same protector for my HTC Evo. Never need another screen protector once you go InvisibleShield.
I myself have been searching for a screen protector for my tab. I have the invisishield on my evo4g, and I find that it adds quite a bit of sticky friction to swiping, or any time you drag your finger across the screen. It's not so important on the phone as it would be on the tab, so here's my question:
What sp will offer some protection, but doesn't add much friction to the touch experience.
Appreciate the input!

The one I mentioned above is smooth. The matte finish makes it feel more like high gloss paper than glass. I'm considering buying a clear protector from the same company though as the "sparkly" effect that the matte finish adds to the screen (esp. things that are solid green for some reason) is getting on my nerves.
I have the zagg invisibleSHIELD maximum protection, is was a little skeptical at first but really like it now the i have had it on for a coupke weeks. There is more grip to the tablet now, but i can still slide my fingers over the screen with no issues. I will say this though, if you have never installed something like this take your time whrn installing it.

Apologies if it has already been asked, i may have missed it.
I'd like to have a specific anti-glare screen protector, the glossy screen is not bad but still very reflective, a part from the usual fingerprints issue.
Any product that suits my needs?

my previous post said i like phantomskinz. well the one for my tab arrived bent in the mail and didnt apply very good. i contacted phantomskinz and they would not replace it. they wanted pictures of it installed. so i sent them pictures and of course you cant tell that there is a huge streak (where the bend was) right thru the screen because of the glare.
They never replied back to me after i sent the pics. anyways, i went ahead and ordered a bodyguardz for my tab.
Do you mean a full body protector or just a screen protector? I have an SGP UltraOptics (which is the matte antiglare) and I absolutely love it.
The screen degradation because of the antiglare properties, while there, is *extremely* small and I feel that my video consumption hasn't diminished at all. However, reading in a coffeeshop, during the day, by the window and (gasp!) reading outside are both things I do frequently.
Lastly, there is little to no "grip" when sliding my finger across the screen. The smoothness and feel is impeccable.
So yeah, there's my endorsement.

What this guy said. I'd say the optical degredation isn't better or worse than other matte screen protectors - ok, maybe slightly better in bright light or very contrasty environments. I'm a big fan of having no resistance when I drag my finger across the screen.
I will say that there is an odd "zipping" noise as I drag my finger across the screen. Not a deal breaker, but definitely unique - I've had matte screen protectors before, but none that have ever done that.

oh that would drive me nuts. The phantomskinz kits ive had are very low resistance, but since they were not helpful this time around. I wont be ordering from them anymore.

i would say go with the zagg one......very good
wait..
it's gorilla glass. why do you want/need a piece of plastic over it?
I do use a back cover for smooth surfaces, but i the textured back tab 10.1 and the samsung case.
I don't use zagg because that shizz yellows.
I use phantomkinz for my other plastic surface devices. they have a little better optical clarity than zagg and they don't yellow.

I'm jumping on the SGP bandwagon. I got the crystal one for my S2 Epic 4G Touch and 8.9 Tab. Both were super easy to install, especially the Tab, almost effortless actually (seriously, no joke). They look fantastic and feel great. I tried the Zagg and hated it (felt rubbery).

Best screen protector if you want the most clear picture.
Best screen protector if you enjoy constantly wiping fingerprints off... but, it's well worth it. Zero orange peel effect!
Personally I recommend, but it's an acquired taste!

can you elaborate on the "enjoy wiping fingerprints off" ??
was that a typo, or does it really make the fingerprints worse?
still debating on which version to get.
I had the Zagg full body one on my iPod touch, and my old LG DARE, and both did a wonderful job of protecting.
They did yellow badly and it is not that smooth of a surface, but with those small of screens, it really didn't matter.
Now, with my thunderbolt, I have a SGP, and it has stood up to me since March, and only now is it showing its age. I have a spare in he box that I have been meaning to put on sometime.
For smoothness, steer clear of Zagg, that bumpiness will mess up your Angry Birds game.
To add to this thread ...
I had a MyShield screen protector (supposedly it's almost the same as Zagg) and it seemed to protect the screen well but I had a few problems with it:
1) The screen was a bit "sticky", it got better with use but still noticeable
2) Many and easily seen fingerprints
3) Fingerprints were hard to wipe off
4) If you put one of those "stand" cases - or really anything that holds the tab in a tight grip - the protector started to move/peel off at places
Now I have a SGP Ultra Crystal and the screen is MUCH smoother, while there still are fingerprints etc. they are much easier to wipe off and most importantly - no danger of messing up your screen protection when putting one of the cases on or off.
So I'd definitely recommend SGP for tablets.

I didn't manage to find any. But you can get a good deal on ebay, you get a genuine product and the shipping is almost free (I think it was 2$ for me).
All in all it cost me 24$ (around 18€) and it took about 2 weeks for it to get here. Seems like a good buy for me

I love the Zagg texture and feel. I have one on my iPod Tough and Thunderbolt, and just bought one for my Woot Galaxy 10.1.
Hard plastic clear protectors are OK but I don't like their lack of feedback and grease streaking.
I had Zagg on my SGSII. I removed in couple of days due to stickness. I hated the feel of Zagg. I have XtremeGuard on Tab 10.1 and I like it very much. If I'm the only one using it, I wouldn't put any screen protector. But I have a young daughter, I don't feel safe to leave it naked.

Eventually you will have to replace the screen protector. There are two schools of thought on this:
1. Buy really cheap screen protectors and replace them often,
2.Buy decent screen protector and you won't have to replace them too often.
I use photodon MXH, which are an "HD anti-glare" they provide some glare and fingerprint reduction, without sacrificing too much screen clarity. Everyone has a different opinion on which type to get (clear or matte), but my personal preference is the matte. I have had a Photodon MXH on my Cintiq for about a year and there are minimal scratches. So minimal that I don't notice. l'll be ordering a couple for the Galaxy note this weekend.

I would agree to the fact that gorilla glass is supposed to be immune to scratches but I wouldn't bet my note on that and be left without it for it to get fixed. Hence a nice protector is not a bad idea IMO.

I would second Photodon screen protectors. I use it on my Lenovo X220T which also uses Wacom stylus and can confirm that it does note interfere with the stylus and is incredibly resilient. Photodon is also a pleasure to do business with and has excellent customer service.
Zagg is no good
I bought a zagg protector at best buy with the tablet.

I have it on my phone and nexus 7, but for this particular tablet I can't recommend it.

Yes it is. If Best Buy had decent product knowledge they would know that the zagg sp won't work. Honestly, Zagg should know better too, but they are just out to make a buck.
I hope for your sake you returned it. If not you should because it really won't work with the pen.
It should also be noted that the Wrapsol and BestSkinsEver won't work either. Stick with the "hard" plastic dry install screen protectors. So far I'm having good luck with the matte rooCASE screen protector I got from amazon. I may wait on ordering the photodon.

These are the screen protectors I ordered. Install was easy enough, but I'm experienced at it. The fit is perfect.
I would attempt to return the zagg. Talk to a manager and show them how the pen sticks to it. Its not functional. If that fails, I would contact BB corporate and put a call into Zagg. But that's me. I hate wasting money. Like lighting fire to 30 dollars.

So I contacted Photodon and they gave me the dimensions for their screen protector.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (#5832-01) is cut to 242.5 x 170.5mm (9.5 x 6.7”); 5/16” corner radius; camera location 130mm from left and down 11mm.
Screens diagonally less than 17” - We normally subtract 1/2mm from each dimension to make installation a little easier, so please indicate if you like your film cut “exactly” to the measurements that you specify.
Can somone confirm that this is the same as the note 10.1?

Based on those measurements the screen protector will be a good fit with the note. The only thing that jumped out is the camera hole is 11mm to the bottom of the hole, not center so I'm not sure where they measure to. The corner radius looks correct too.
I ordered a screen protector for a Galaxy Tab 2 from amazon, just so I would have something quickly and it fits the Note perfectly. I like the Photodon stuff too, but this one I ordered is pretty good so far. I'll eventually grab a Photodon though. I ordered a decalgirl backing skin last night, but I know that's not going to fit perfectly, but it will provide good scratch protection the the back plastic since I don't use a case.

Have been doing research online for a screen protector that provides a "paperlike" resistance and sound when writing. I personally find writing on a slippery surface difficult.
I discoverer the WriteShield brand which supposedly does exactly that - give you a paper-like feel.
However, from what I can see they only have it for the Tab 10.1:

My question is, is the glass surface area on the Note 10.1 different in size and shape from the Tab 10.1? I know the shell size is different but I am referring only to the glass area.

So do all those brands you mentioned provide a paperlike resistance or is it basically the same scratchiness one gets from any matte protector?
I would ideally prefer a non-matte protector as i like a bright clear screen. I wonder if anyone makes a crysgal clear screen with a paper feel? I was under the impression the WriteShield clear version offered the same papery resistance. No?

They are ok. Mind you, a paper like feel is only accomplished when a pen gauges a surface causing deep crevices. You might not want this
Joking aside, you get the idea. These screen protectors do scratch themselves, and it's sort of a mixed bag. I have a very nice Photodon on a couple of my tablets. I really don't notice much difference. I just put those on plastic surfaces to avoid scratches, not to improve slipperiness.
I'm really not sure about a few things regarding this. I have felt nibs that do make a difference (although probably slight) but I'm not sure if these could actually pick up more particles, and in so doing cause scratches. Don't know, and that's the beauty of screen protectors; you don't have to worry.
I think i'll just use the supplied pen. Samsung brags about it's 'rounded surface', and how it will not scratch. This may be the case.
I think UltraCrystal by Spigen/Steinhil is hands down the best. can't tell it is on there and very durable. So we can confirm that the screen for the tab 2 10.1 is the same as the note?
For those who have one installed or have tried them, which would be better? And which would work better with the pen input?
I moved from a clear screen to matte protector.
Both work with spen input. No difference for me... maybe an artist can tell u any finer differences.
Picking between matte and clear is your choice... google for pros/cons of each and see which works in your usage scenario.

Oh ok, that is good, no difference then. I went with clear, it has always been what I have used, no distortion in picture, it may have a bit more glare but much easier for me and cheaper. I will just change to a plastic tip then.
Im probably posting this too late.. But when you buy a screen protector for the note.. GET A PLASTIC ONE. not the vinyl self healing type . They do cause drag with the S pen .The cheaper ones work best.... I also use matte finish some of the anti fingerprint ones have a bit of a surface thats not perfect slick feels a bit more like paper. Kinda like the surface area of my Wacom Tablet...

Yea I got cheap ones, 3 for $5 or so. I would never spend more than that on screen protectors.

Add me to the list of those agree with this.
Can anyone recommend a particularly good matte protector that works well with S-Pen than is reasonably priced?

I have read a lot of good things about the spigen protectors, I just wished they made the tempered glass protectors for the Note 10.1.
.
I am away from using screen protectors for some years now and I never had problems so far with any damages on my scrren with Galaxy S9000, SII, SIII and Tab7 and now NOte 10.1.
Is there any other reason than protecting against scratches ?

Which one did you buy? Can you give me the link. I brought a clear one but I don't like the sticky feel of it.

I got a matte one from eforcity on Ebay and was not impressed. It made the screen really distorted/blurry. I am going to try a clear one now.

I agree with Sean09.... any matte or anti glare screen protector I ever tried made the screen image less sharp.
Halted it.

I absolutely agree with that. Problem is that the GNote 10.1 has not the highest resolution and a matte protector will allways make the screen image less sharp. In the case of the GNote 10.1 it makes a huge difference for me. On my HoX with >300 ppi I can barely see the difference.
That is very unfortunate, cause I like the pros of matte screen protectors very much:
-Better touch/slide feeling
-More resistance for S-Pen -> feels more like paper
-Less fingerprints
-No reflections
But, you know, try it out, it's not like the protectors are very expensive...
I posted this on another forum I frequent, but feel its purpose could be better served in this thread.
Any screen protectors like this ArmorSuit MilitaryShield that feature a high gloss, spage-age alien technology with some crazy horse**** composite material that reforms and repairs itself: DO NOT EVER BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR STYLUS!
The weird material this thing is made of has two properties which immediately prove about as negative as possible:
1. As soon as you put your stylus to the screen, it looks like you've stabbed a hole in the protector or screen itself. Writing just continues that streak and it honestly looks like you're scratching the **** out of your device.
2. If you're able to make it past that initial shock from thinking you've just destroyed your screen, you won't be able to write for long because this protector feels like it's made of super glue designed to bond stylus tips to its surface. Trying to write the title to a powerpoint slide I was transcribing in class ended up giving me about 1/3rd the first letter before jumping, completely skipping the next letter, and then just picking up / leaving off at random so it looked like I was trying to create some alien language.
Also, the ArmorSuit Military Shield shipped with a single screen protector and, not a joke or exaggeration, an instructional video (found on YouTube by the manufacturer) which literally instructs you to cover your hands and screen protector in this liquid found in the packaging; so much of it that you're dripping this **** all over the place while you try to slide the screen into place.
I don't know how the nub tipped styli work, as my stylus has a pen tip so your results could be wildly different.
However, for under $10 ($5 less than the ArmorSuit Shield above) I picked up a MiniGuard by MiniSuit and, silly naming aside, am extremely happy with the purchase.
Its matte finish isn't so apparent that it reduces the visual quality of the screen, yet it does help reduce glare and fingerprints/smudges. It provides a nice surface for the stylus to write without adding resistance while the stylus is pressed to the screen, or friction from a weird material hell-bent on keeping your stylus from writing for longer than .0000001th of a second without skipping.
The MiniGuard came with 3 screen protectors, a microfiber cloth, and a little cardboard card. This card is kind of small and feels like it could have easily been more useful had it been 1" wider. But, that's a non-issue because my earlier purchase did leave me with a way better air bubble pusher card.
I'm sure there are other protectors out there that do this job just as well if not better, but, from the two I've recently purchased and tried I figured sharing my experience on this front might help one of you avoid wasting money on something utterly useless.

Thanks for the advice. You convinced me and I just bought one here (more convenient for European customers).
I already have a matte screen protector (bought cheap) so I know what to expect. Anyway I hope the miniguard will be of better quality and that, with three chances, I'll be able to install it better than the one I already have (with a couple of dust grains I couldn't get rid of).
I have the Armoursuit that nick mentioned, and I agree. The stylus drags on it big time. I have half a mind to just take the damn thing off.

I've been using some cheap, glossy screen protectors from Amazon for a year now and they work great. $8.99 for a 3 pack. Used with the white stylus nib gives a feeling of near stock.
