Could anyone please kind enough to tell me where to get the best pouch and screen protection for tmobile SG2?
Thank you so much in advance.
Only pouch I have seen is in my thread. Realook (Amazon) is the best screen protector.

i personally like SGP screen protectors over realook screen protectors, but SGP cut outs for our t989 is horrible. they are high quality, no rainbow effect like the realook.
I personally like the vertical slip pouch I ordered from Proporta.

I don't like using cases as they take away from the design of the phone. I feel as if covering a phone with a bulky case and covering that sexy form is a crime! lol. So I always just use pouches.
It took about 7 business days for them to ship to me. and so far I have no complaints.
This thread's purpose is to help new Note 10.1 users find a screen protector that's sure to work well with S-Pen
The mods could make this a sticky for the convenience of new Note 10.1 users.

Sand scratches our screens very easily. Sand is everywhere, and can collect anywhere. It's basically just quartz, and when it sticks to something and rubs the screen, it ruins it.

I'll be getting the Acase screen protector soon from amazon so expect me to update on that. I've read good reviews on amazon about it.

I was thinking about a Spigen Screen protector. I think that the clear one for the GNote 10.1 is actually called Spigen Ultra Crystal (and not "Ultra Clear").
There's also a "Matte" version that is called Ultra Fine (Anti-Fingerprint)
I've read good reviews about the latter one here but I haven't bought it (yet).
Spigen page for the GNote 10.1 is here
Most Official accessories SUCK.
Learned it the hard way with the Asus Transformer TF101. The official case was twice the price, and a QUARTER of the quality of the AFTER MARKET cases.

Be careful with the Matte ones, many complain about scratchiness of the S-Pen on such surfaces.
Update us on how it turns out for you.
I got the acase screen protector. I love it! Leaves no scratches from spen and it feels better then glass. Let me know if you want pictures or maybe even a video.

Yes, please do tell of your experience in any way you can.
I'll post your review link in the OP.
The re-designed Ghost Armor screen protectors work perfectly. Have had one on mine for over a week now. I am drawing on my Note daily and there are no scratches on the protector at all. I got the full body shield so it was a little expensive, but I just like their product and have it on all of my devices. I've seen a few posts here mention that Ghost Armor on the original Note phone was no good and scratched easily. If you decide to go with Ghost Armor, make sure it is the NEW version if you're ordering from a kiosk. I also waited the painstakingly long 48 hours before using a pen on the screen.
clearplex
I used the clearplex screen protector and they are very nice. They boast that they are like zagg invi shield and protects the screen from breaks and stuff. They use the same material they use for car windshields. They have excellent customer service because I had a problem installing it because of my own mistake and i called them and they happily sent me a new one. (They have a 1 year warranty on the protector.) $19 is a very cheap price.
It feels like glass, looks like glass. And installation is very easy, you dont have to worry about the air bubbles that normal screen protectors have. i give it 9/10. -1 point because it takes a few days before the streaking fades away and you had to use the squeegee to maintain the bond for a few days. Other than that, I am pretty happy with this

I never got ghost armor before and am considering it. Can they put it on at the kiosk the same day you come in or do you need to leave your device there?
Could the people who post recommendations please write a bit about how and what they use the tab for! This will be helpful for users in similar scenario to decide which one to go for that suits their specific use needs.
For example;
Screen protector name, price and possible link -
Device main use -
Pros -
Cons-
Etc,
Klau1 could then collate this info into the first post with links etc.

As long as they have the protector there at the kiosk they can put it on the same day you go in. It took about 45 minutes for them to install mine because after they put it on they place it in a heat box to help it dry faster. If they don't have the protector they will order it and call you when it's in. I had to do that once and it took about 7 days to get there since my kiosk only gets shipments once a week.

I agree, a lot of the posts here just mention that the screen protector is "good". But neglects to describe the S-PEN experience with it.
The S-PEN functionality is the purpose of this thread so it's important to comment on that, before I can post it to the OP.
Is anyone aware of a tempered glass screen protector for the Note 10.1 2014? Since I began using them on my GS4, I got hooked and got one from Spigen for my iPad. Yes they add weight and are pricey but the performance is awesome. I really want one for my new Note. Thanks in advance.
did not find the one at Amazon and ebay ...if you find it somewhere do share the link...me too looking to buy one for my Note 10.1(2014)....
I'm definitely looking for one too. I got one for my note 3 and it's amazing. Especially since the tempered glass protectors are about the same price as regular ones.

This is the one I bought (disregard the silly product title haha): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Explosion-p...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item35cce6fc3e
I bought the same one for my parents for their note 2's and have absolutely no complaints so I expected the same quality for my note 3 and I wasn't wrong.
Plus you can also find even reputable companies like Bear Motion selling on Amazon for similar prices: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...2549888&sr=8-6&keywords=note+3+tempered+glass

Thanks! In for two explosions. Been happy with the low priced phone accessories from China without the silly mark up.
Happy with this minimal case for Note 3 to protect the back and sides from scratches. Now I have protection for the front.

Not quite tempered glass but Green Onions finally released a screen protector for the Note 10.1 2014. I use the same type of oleophobic screen protector on my note 3 and it really helps with grease. My Note 10.1 2014 sees way more constant touching from my fingers so I grabbed it asap.
Bumparoo!
Anyone find any glass yet for this device?
Plastic screen protectors suck with the spen.

Just got in my Green Onions oleophobic screen protector today. Same material as the one I use on my Note 3. Works perfectly fine with the pen for me and IMO more importantly, the oleophobic coating makes sure my fingers don't grease up my note as I am taking notes and using my tablet. I would've liked to go all out and gotten a tempered glass screen protector but none are out yet and I prefer oleophobic protectors anyways. 26 bucks is a little expensive but I think you get what you pay for.
Subscribed, looking for one of these 'TG SP's for the 2014 note 10 also.

Was this screen protector edge to edge? I don't want gap between the sliver trim to the screen protector.

Yes. It was somewhat difficult to align because of that. They give you a huge sheet to remove dust bedore installation but I also uses the steamy shower install method to be dust free. Took about 10 tries but the cover fits perfectly now.

My brother has never used any screen protectors on his devices and they all have pristine screens, I on the other hand have a few scratches on my S3 but that's only because I work in an Engineering environment where there are all sorts of materials flying about plus I no longer care tbh and use the phone even with dirty hands.
To be honest considering how much I use my phone its actually done pretty well, I have a 1cm long deep scratch and about 4 really light scratches that are barely noticeable and I've had the phone since release.
If your going to just use it in the house I would say you don't need one but you never know.
P.S. I don't think that really answers your question but still atleast you have something to think about haha
Found One
Well, a tempered glass screen protector finally hit Ebay (I can't post links yet but do a search for "Tempered Glass Explosion proof Screen Protector film for SAMSUNG Phones 2013 new" and you should find it). I know that Alibaba (seems to be an Asia-based import company) has listed tempered glass screen protectors for a month or so (if you wanted to import in bulk) and it was nice to finally find one on EBay for $17 (with shipping). I'm sure it will take a few weeks to get here but will let you know how it works once I get it.
I want to buy a tempered glass screen for N5 within a week or two. But I can't decide between :
1)Mime Ghost Glass or Feather Glass
2)Glass-M tempered glass
3)Nillkin tempered glass
4)SPIGEN GLAS
Currently, I am slightly inclined towards Mime(read good reviews). I heard that SPIGEN GLAS has some issues and the fix can take a while. I guess that is out of my option. My Requirements are : a) the touch should work fine b) no bubbles c)should work fine with a case.
Can you please suggest me which one to buy?
Thanks in advance,
psy_spy
I just received my Nillkin protector. I'm hoping to install it tonight so I will try to post some pictures for you. My first impressions are that the packaging is great and the camera protector (not glass) seems great. The kit for installation is pretty good too. Can't wait to install it.
If it turns out to be rubbish I'll plump for a MIME one. Everyone speaks very highly of them.

I had the (defective) Spigen GLAS.tr, and am still waiting for that replacement.
Applied the MIME Ghost last night and I can say that it's one of the best glass protectors I've ever used in terms of feel, rounded edges, adhesion (even after a couple of pull-offs and re-applications, to get rid of specks with scotch tape), and so forth.
Put it this way - I have a replacement Spigen on the way at some point, as well as a pair of the Nillkin units - but I just finished ordering another MIME Ghost in case something happens to this one.
Think about orzly glass screen protector, put mine about a week ago flawlessly, no bubbles, very good touch and feeling response, cut out are perfect
And is laminated glass, a thin plastic sheet coupled with glass, same as car windscreen, don't know if other are laminated or tempered glass

I bought the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. First time ever using tempered glass and I will never go back to anything else. It simply blows me away and looks great. It genuinely looks like I'm going naked screen wise. No air bubbles, comes with instructions and all the necessities. Overall I highly recommend. :good:

I bought the Nilkin, and I am waiting for it. I bought it mainly because the price was low, I hope it will be of good quality
Glad somebody has had a good experience with the NIllkin. Didn't get a chance to fit mine tonight so will have to do it tomorrow. Do you have a case with yours Benman715?

I relieved the MIME and just put it on. It looks great fits great and I can't even tell its there.
Only downside is it took me a couple tries to get it on straight and now I have a couple pieces of lint under it

I've had my Nillkin fitted for the past 24hours or so, I'm very happy with it. Excellent quality, fitted up perfectly, looks/feels great and it was a good price.
I loved the MIME Ghost glass and Feather glass on the HTC One and will be looking to get one of them soon for the N5. My Spigen GLAS.tR totally carcked it so got a refund for that. Never tried the Nillkin. Has anyone actually tested the theory of the Nillkin being "anti-explosion"? LOL.
Anyone tested these with polarized sunglasses? Specifically the Mime or Nillikin

Can anyone with any of these glass screen protectors comment on wether there is or would be any affect of the cutouts being over the camera and sensor versus only a cutout for the earpiece.
Also Can anyone report whether any of these glass screen protectors resist fingerprints well or not?
Just ordered a Nillkin, will let y'all know what its like when I get it.

Yes I do. I have the spigen hybrid case. Overall I'm smitten with the look and feel of tempered glass. The case is a fingerprint magnet unfortunately. Best of luck with everyone who ordered tempered glass. Its well worth it IMO.
Does anyone have any photos of MIME, Nilkin, Glass-M? (I have Spigen GLAS.tr which has a lifted corner)
But I heard that Spigen GLAS nano's are coming out soon.
Is anyone as annoyed as me with Spigel's absolutely ridiculous line of product and naming choices? No clarity between feature, functionality, what's what, etc. Add in the Amazon factor and it's pure chaos. They might have the best cases, but they need some serious help in business management. If I ran their company, I'd have addressed this immediately.
Anecdotally, I'm nowhere near the first confused person. Someone much smarter than I (which, really, is most people) found their offerings wildly confusing and simply ordered one of everything before deciding to return all but the one which suited him best. I did the same given their complete inanity.

I got the defective Spigen glass and just received nillkin tempered glass and installed it about an hour ago.
It seems good overall and unlike Spigen glass, it has a cut out for the proximity sensor.
there are small bubbles with nillkin protector and I am hoping it would disappear by tomorrow.
I've always loved spigen's protectors, but this time it was a big NO NO.
I mentioned this on another thread but my Orzly after 5days of use was scratched quite a bit. I've no idea how as it only sat in my pocket.
I have a Nilikin on order but I'm currently using a £5 'helicopter blade coating' protector I got on eBay and it's great, no Orange peel and you really couldn't tell it's there. Still like the glass protectors though so I'll go with the Nilikin when it arrives.

Mime ghost glass is out of stock. I have sent them an email. If it won't be available within a week, I am buying nillkin. Or as someone suggested, I may buy both.
I recently got an S6 Edge and bought the Ice case from Urban Armor Gear. I'm a dedicated UAG user; I've had nothing but good experience with these cases since I first got one for my S3, and have subsequently used their cases for my S4 and 5 as well. In addition to the case I also got a JETech glass protector for my screen. A review on Amazon said it was compatible with the UAG, but when I tried to put my phone with the screen protector on in the case, the screen protector popped up around the top and bottom of the screen where the UAG hugs the phone. While trying to fit the glass underneath the case's lip, the screen protector cracked. I was wondering if any S6 Edge users with a UAG know of any good brand of glass protectors that's UAG compatible or if there's just a certain technique to installing them. Thanks!
