Matte screen protector.
I right now have a clear screen protector on and it adds a little bit to it but not as fine grained as matte protector, however still not like pencil on paper.
Be wary that s-pen tip can wear much faster with friction. A friend swears by using crazy glue (Cyanoacrylate) to coat and protect the tip but I find it a bit over the edge.

Would Crazy Glue do any harm to the screen?

you can also buy a bamboo feel and purchase different nibs. some add more resistance than others. you'll need to test for offset, so buy it from somene with a good return policy.

I'm thinking that this may be the best way to go since I'm using Lecture Notes which can re calibrate the offset.

not if you are using over a screen protector layer., but i'm a bit skeptical about that nevertheless.

Screen Protector vs Stylus sensitivity

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.

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).

WriteShield - the "feels like paper" screen protector...

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:
http://www.amazon.com/WriteSHIELD®-...stal-CLEAR/dp/B0055T0N5S/ref=reg_hu-rd_dp_img
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.

I know the tab 2 is the same, but not sure about the original tab.
I have a writeshield on my Asus ep121 and it feels exactly the same as my MXH Photodon, which feels the same as the rooCase screen protector I have too.

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?

Screen protector - useful?

So... screen protectors... are they actually any use?
Do they protect from scratches? Or do they just make your device harder to use because the screen loses sensitivity?
I'd be interested in people's opinions
I recommend using screen protectors because
- they prevent the glass from getting scratches. Sand scratches glass easily. Screen protector helps.
- they can reduce glare from screen. Glare is the reflection you see on the screen that makes it much harder to see what's on screen.
- they can be cleaned with lesser care... any slight wet cloth can clean screen
- they don't cause any loss of sensitivity
- you can start using the plastic nib for the spen as it lasts much longer than rubber nibs. And having a screen protector gives a much better experience with plastic tips for spen.
- they are damn cheap. Don't like them... no problem.. throw them

I went all out & picked up an Invisishield at BB. Yes, it was about $30.00 (-minus 20% for Rewards club event) but is was worth it in my mind & I will be doind the same with my Nexus 10. I really like the frogz type protectors, but the Invishield is really starting to grow on me as they are nearly impossible to damage. I have had it gouged to hell & in a warm environment after a few hours it always "heals itself". It is a bit tacky feeling (tacky sticky, not tacky cheap), so it is a bit hard or weird to get used to at first, but then you learn to touch lightly & all is well. Like stated above, the plastic S-Pen tip is MUCH better for use with screen savers, especially this type, but the device works just as well with the S-Pen without any loss of sensitivity.

I don't use a screen protector and frankly I don't see the need to.
The only advantage I see is the reduction in glare and even that depends on which screen protector you bought.
They DO cause a reduction in sensitivity, I have used a couple before on other devices (like my Note Phablet) and have thrown them all away.
A microfiber cloth cleans easily, and I use the plastic nib SPen HEAVILY and there are no scratches.
If you are paranoid though, then by all means. There are pretty cheap ones available
I always install a screen protector because it cuts down on finger prints. Last 3 have been Ghost Armour. They don't drag on your finger/S-Pen like the invisible shield or feel spongy. Also, clear like glass. And lifetime warranty.
All my gadgets have screen protectors. Better safe than sorry. Have protector on my note as well and no difference on using stylus at all. Smooth and write the same as without screen protector. I have anti glare kind and so easy to take care of finger prints as well. Overall I would highly recommend to get one.

There are about 1.000 similar questions in all mobile threads. So what do you think? Will a protective transparent cover protect your screen? What do you think? Please make an quess.
Sorry my friend for my reply but I tried to stop myself without any success.
Thank you for the intelligent replies to this thread.
It's good to see that lots of you find that they don't cause problems in using them; the last time I bought one I found that it did cause a loss of accuracy on the device I was using - but that was a few years ago and I am sure that the technology will have moved on.

Review for Carbon Fibre
Hi, I am getting a note 10.1 and want a carbon fibre blue ghost armour for it, would it affect the accuracy or will it scrape of what , thanks in advance!!!
The anti glare ones really degrade the screen vibrancy.

I recently applied the MinGuard Anti-Glare screen protector and my default stylus is acting strange. Don't know if it's the protector or the stylus. After installing the protector, I immediately changed to the white nib which glides better than the one.
But when clicking on buttons(not swiping) using the stylus, the tablet does not react sometimes. Takes several tries to successfully click on a button. It doesn't matter how hard I press, the angle in which I press, or how long I press. Now, when I use my finger to click on a button, it works as it should.
For instance, when I bring up the Task Manager and click with the stylus between Ram Manager and Active Appllications" the tablet does not react many times. Or even if I try to click the "X" to close the Task Manager, it takes many times to close. Or if I click the buttons in Snote to change my pen tip, it takes many times to bring it up. This issue doesn't occur all buttons.... I can click on the system buttons in the lower left no problem or app buttons.
Do you guys think the screen protector is the culprit? Or bad stylus? Thanks so much.
I THINK I found the issue. It was the magnets in my book cover. When I position the flap(which contains the magnets) out of the way, it works much better...but not perfect. so I think the protector takes away from stylus sensitivity a bit. Magnets effecting the stylus was discussed in this thread: S-Pen Inaccurate
I recieved this one yesterday that I got from Amazon:
amFilm (TM) Premium Screen Protector Film Clear (Invisible) for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1-Inch) and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2-Pack) [in AM retail packing]
It took me both supplied protectors to really apply what I consider almost perfect. I believe there are like 2-3 really small dust particles near the camera but I didn't want to risk ruining my 2nd attempt. I applied it last night. No issues at all with my pen or screen. Mine has the white tip on. I decided on this particular product because it's clear and had great reviews. Glad I chose this one and better safe than sorry for my screen, but to each their own.

Hi cama-cama. Read my post above yours. I pasted the one I ordered off Amazon. It was easy to apply. I have had NO issues with my pen. I wrote this reply with my pen.
There really is no point in using a screen protector for this tablet. Just get a flip case, don't be stupid with your tablet, and bam, no scratches, ever.

Screen Protector: Matte or Clear?

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...

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.

Accessories [Mod] Cut the original case

I hate the flap so I cut it off and mount the spen on the back with super glue lol
Edit: official glue at the middle. Much easier to hold and avoid rocking when unfold
the only problem with this setup would be that the phone cannot lie flat once unfoldid.

I recommend only cutting the top cover flap off and keeping the pen silo portion of the case where it is from factory. I did this today and really like it so far. Thickness of the phone stays the same when pocketed. The pen silo actually acts like a grip for your fingers when the phone is unfolded too

This is what I mean by the pen silo being a grip for your fingers. Acts like a ledge of sorts in landscape orientation. Main problem of course is that when in folded orientation, the pen flaps around a bit - but it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be

This is what I mean by the pen silo being a grip for your fingers. Acts like a ledge of sorts in landscape orientation. Main problem of course is that when in folded orientation, the pen flaps around a bit - but it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be

i did try that and the moving part killing me so i cut it off too lol. The spen for me in the middle of the hand when folded create better grip (same with unfold - not moving parts)
What glue did you use for this? I wonder if I could get the stylus to stick to the official silicone case...

Just normal super glue at $.99 cent stores
I'm thinking of buying a stylus holder that you can buy and stick to just about anything. It would look and function just as similar. I hate this case but I'm not sure I want to destroy it yet. Having had a Mate 20 X I'm used to having the stylus separate. Actually still have the leather holder I bought for it.

I'm thinking of doing the same.
Here is what I did. What two pen holders off Amazon for like $15. They have adhesive that connects to any kind of plastic it won't work with metal for some reason. I also got the plastic case off of Amazon and I'm just using the back. It not only works and stays in it but it also wireless charges too even though it's held up slightly

I'm doing something similar. I ordered a couple of these:
in-Line Multi Functional Foldable Stylus Pen Magnetic Holder Comparable with 1st & 2nd Gen, Keeps The Flatness, Supports 2nd Gen Pencil Wireless Charging (Black) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B097H5J78T/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XP4TF2MJCCFYH0QK4250?psc=1
I liked the idea of one long pen holder instead of two small ones.
Also, if you check Amazon, those Ringke holders you have should be three for $10, not two for $15.
