The conductive tip of this stylus simulates a finger touch, tap or swipe to provide a full touch screen environment without leaving a single fingerprint behind. Within its attractive design, the shirt pocket clip allows the Stylus to be stored in a pocket or it can be clipped to some carry/protective cases. I want to get a stylus to speed up interaction and leave those messy fingerprints behind. So I find 2-in-1 Universal Capacitive Screen Stylus from http://dx.com/s/STYLUS+PEN Most stylus pens feel cheap in the hand, feeling to light and not actually like a pen. But this one has come out with a stylus that FEELS like a pen. It is heavy enough to feel durable in the hand and not hollow or plastic like most. It is good not having finger prints on the screen thanks to this awesome product!
The best stylus for this phone I would say would be your finger

Regardless of how thin a screen protector is, I would imagine that because it is an extra layer between the stylus and the screen, it would negatively affect the responsiveness of the stylus.
For people that do use a stylus, have you noticed any changes?
I'd like to protect my screen, but I also don't want to defeat the point of having a unique input method like this.

And you would be wrong, because it's a wacom stylus.
Unless your screen protector is a quarter inch thick, you'll be fine.
Try this:go into s memo, put a piece of cardboard on top of your note and draw on the cardboard with the s pen. No problem.
I have a freebee protector until I get my case, and I can vouch that this does not affect the stylus in any way.

My wife is pretty thin, but when I put her between the Note and stylus, I couldn't write anything. It did make my wife giggle quite a bit, though.
I will attest that with a dirty screen protector, aka a full day without a good micro fiber wipe, my screen sensitivity is reduced in CERTAIN typing scenarios. Holding the device horizontal or vertical is fine. When my phone is resting on a flat surface and I'm standing over it...for some reason sensitivity is greatly reduced. Dirty screen mind you. I clean it and its better. I'm thinking of using the SGS2 touch booster app.
As the people in the previous posts said, the screen protector doesn't interfere with the s-pen at all, as far as the extra thickness could matter.
What you should take into consideration is the material the screen protector is made of. I use an IPG screen protector (similar to Zagg), and it has a slight "rubbery" feel, since the protector is a bit soft (compared to the screen itself - for example, I can leave a marking on the protector with my fingernail, although it goes away after a minute), so the pen kind of "sinks" a little in the protector, giving more resistance than without a protector. It doesn't really matter to me, since you get used to it, but you might want to consider this aspect.
I imagine that plastic protectors and others which aren't as soft will not have this.

Its not that the stylus doesnt work ..its that is Drags on the protector making use very difficult if not impossible.

Do You know how spen works?
If not, google for it.
So the answer is NO, the screen sensitivity won't change.
But......it will get scratched (this will look badly) and it will be harder to move around with the stylus due to bigger resistance (maybe not with an original screen protector-mine was universal).
Hi, we found out that the best capacitive stylus is Jot Pro Stylus, but now I need also a rubber stylus. This because I don't want my girlfriend to put a screen protector and I really don't want her to have a scratched screen.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I'm launching this question mainly to those who use the Note for drawing with the S Pen.
Before the Note I had an Acer Iconia A500 and I chose a Matte screen protector and I think it was a good decision for that tablet. I used it a lot for watching movies while in the underground, bus or train and the antireflectiveness of the matt finish helped a lot with dark scenes. also, it was a good antifingerprints solution. The drawback was the clarity of the image suffered a little but not very much so it was ok.
Galaxy Note is a totally different matter. I will still be using it for watching videos, of course, but I bought it mainly for drawing and painting.
Being a Wacom Intuos user for more than 15 years, I've always loved the feel of the finish of Intuos surfaces trying to imitate the feel of paper. The finish is matt and it wears with the years so you have to replace it from time to time but you can perfectly live with a very scratched surface for a long time. Of course, over a screen, it is a different matter.
So, I would like to hear the impressions of artist who are using or have used their S-Pen over Matte and Clear screen protectors. Does the S-Pen leave marks on matte surfaces? Does it move more naturally?
I've been holding off on a screen protector for the same reason( but I do have a case with a cover already). I mainly use my Note 10.1 for sketching and drawing.
One thing I will tell you is that some screen protectors, such as the Zagg protectors have a sticky feel to them. I have one on my S3, and I tried using my stylus on it and it adds to much grip to the surface. I think any screen protector that has anti-glare properties but is not matte will have this problem.
Another thing to keep in mind is that even on a standard Wacom tablet the drawing surface gets worn but you just don't notice it because it doesn't have light coming through it.
Also a matte surface will not only show more wear quicker but will also wear down the nib in the stylus faster.
The areas where you draw the most will become shinny, compared to the rest of the surface, from the constant friction.
Matte screen protectors also lower the contrast ratio. It lightens the black areas to be more dark grey.And they slightly distort the picture.
I would think it would feel similar to a Intous. Right now the bare screen is too slippery for my tastes.
Would love to hear from someone who has a matte screen protector and uses their tablet for drawing or painting, but I think one day I'll just break down and try it myself.
P.S. you might want to check out another post I had about my modded S-pen. I bought one with an eraser and modded it to make it easier to hold the button down and bigger so it's easier to hold for extended periods.

I have been using the clear screen protector and so far I like it. At first it didn't feel as smooth as without the screen protector so then I put the white touch leads included with the s-pen and it now feels smooth. I think Samsung included the white s-pen leads to use specifically with screen protectors. I haven't tried it on the matte screen protector but I think it will work fine.

Do you mean the leads that are fully made of hard plastic, not the ones made of plastic and rubber?

Yes those ones!
I always install a Zagg Invisible Shield on my phones and tablets. Question on the Note 10.1: will installing a screen protector affect the s pen functionality? I am buying this tablet mainly for drawing with artflow/sketchbook pro. I am assuming that the screen protector would interfere with the s pen when sketching. Anyone have one installed that can verify?
EDIT: Obviously this should be in the accessory forum. If I mod wants to move it, that's cool. My bad.
I have a zagg on mine, and have not noticed any s-pen delays. To me it seems just as smooth without a protector.
Just a little tip that I do.... I spray a SMALL bit of spray wax on the screen, then wipe with a microfiber towel. I have been doing this since my first touchscreen, have had no issues.:beer:
Had a zagg on note 2 using s pen made fine lines on screen pro

ZAAG screen protectors come in a few flavors. Your regular ZAAG has an "orange peel" feel to them. Using any sort of stylus on these will quickly create grooves and render your ZAAG useless. The HD ZAAG has a smooth feel, like glass. This is the one you'd want to get, if you're getting a ZAAG for your Note 2014.
When you got this phone did you get used to the curved screen?
What is watching youtube videos like, does the video play on the curved part of the display as well or only on the flat part?
For me it houses One Handed Operation +.
Vids are gorgeous and the one thing you didn't notice are the perfectly square corners.
I loathe rounded display corners... in person the square corners are quit striking.
I have zero issues with the 10+ display... it's a 10.
I agree with blackhawk, I dislike all these phones with curved corners. Both my phones, Note 10+ and the Mate 30 Pro have square corners and even more than a year later I still find them both stunning.
About the curved screen or should I call them curved edges, that's where I notice uncommanded touches like trying to take a picture but the phone refuses to take the picture because while you hold and try to push the virtual shutter you are touching another part of the display. Both the note and the mate are having this issue so I bought myself a small digital camera to take pictures for work. Although both phones are producing better quality pictures I need something simple, push halfway-focus and snap a picture without having to fight the touchscreen and different modes...

I use the Zizo Bolt case as while it allows display access it has raised side guards that help block accidental touches.
I hold it by the lower left corner or kickstand constantly.
Very grippy and make the 10+ easier to hold and use. It provides excellent drop protection, as I have inadvertently proven with many drops from 2-4 feet onto concrete with zero damage*. Excellent corner, cam and faceplant protection.
The only downside is the kickstand tends to break. At $20 a pop and with aftermarket kickstand available... it's still a great case.
* all those were with just the case and not the clip on holster which adds a total of 3 layers of drop protection. In the holster it's pretty much untouchable except to vehicle run overs
I use the OEM case with integrated kickstand (the ones which lookes like a suitcase on the back) fitted in a encased holster. But even with the OEM case I have accidental touch-inputs. So far I have not "tested" the OEM case. I did "tested" the OEM flipcase cover and it did its job. A lot depends on how the phone hit the deck and on what surface...

I may try this case if I get the note 10+
I looked around and there were very few cases that offered adequate screen protection on the sides.
The few that seemed to offer it was the Iblason cases and the tech 21.

The Bolt is about 2mm higher on the sides and higher on the ends. On a flat surface there is no contact.
Any higher on the sides will grossly interfere with touch usage. As it is occasionally I barely can cut/paste without the spen when closest to the left edge. Of course you can rotate the display but this is awkward to do.
The black/black variant is the most desirable followed by the black/gunmetal variant.
Insert the phone starting with bottom first, it's a tight fit, this way works best. Take care not to displace the screen protector. You may need to trim the top corners very slightly. So far I have not using the Gorilla IQ Sheild but it's damn tight squeeze*. Some Bolt variants come with a screen protector depending on the phone, I have my doubts about those. However I never sampled them.
At $20 a pop it's a cheap experiment and a great case... I have a small stockpile of new ones, that's how much I like it. I will be using the 10+ most likely for a long time.
*I use #600 wet sand paper to wet sand the inner corners slightly so to remove any molding ridges to keep the screen protector from snagging. I've been playing a lot with these cases
