Bubble free application and with the plastic tip it's perfect with the s-pen. I have placed many many screen protectors on a variety of devices and I have to say this screen protector is easy, the best I have used.
Make sure the screen is dust free and slowly press the protector in place and the bubbles will automatically push out but it's best to add a bit of pressure with a card to ensure the protector is properly adhered to the screen.

If I can ask, does the s-pen come with different tips or are they interchangeable with after market ones or something??
Also looking at that screen protector thank you.

Yeah you get 2 different tips in the box. Takes literally 5 seconds to swap them over.
One is a hard plastic and the other has a rubber tip.

I have the Zaggs HD screen protector on my 2014 and have had no S Pen issues whatsoever. I also have not had any issues with 'bubbling' per se, but unlike the Zaggs 'Original' screen protector, the Zaggs HD does have a tendency to get marred a bit with extended use.
I have no experience with any other brand of screen protectors.

So I am planning to pick up the Galaxy Note 10.1 sometime in the next week and one of the things I really like about it is the S-pen and the pressure sensitivity to it with the digitizer in the screen, I kind of wanted to use it to learn a bit how to draw/etc which led me to the question about screen protectors. I hate them because they are a pain for me to put on and I am very ocd about bubbles in screen protector. Is the Zagg (I think it is?) best buy protectors going to work fine with the S-pen? I'm really concerned with it having a lot of friction or drag and more importantly that it will mess with the sensitivity of the S-pen.
If not, any recommended easy to apply screen protectors?

It states in the manual "do not use a screen protector".
IMO, I had store bought ordinary screen protector on my 2014 while I was waiting for the Tempered Glass screen to come from China..
I had NO problems with either one. The first one worked very well. I just happen to like the Tempered Glass better. I have good results with Temp Glass on my Note 3..
IMO, no need to be concerned, and I highly recommend some form of screen protector..

My experience with fingerprints from using several devices with screen protectors is to have CLEAN AND DRY HANDS, and no prints are left.
Moist, and greasy hands will leave fingerprints in almost all situations. Also, with the super high resolution of this device, it could be that those fingerprint proof screens sacrifice some of the resolution. I have no proof of that, just a thought...
Im using a zagg shield on my note and its amazing. No issues with sensitivity or ripping the shield with the s pen.

Funny thing about this Tempered Glass. The first one for my Note 3, I had the Spigen Tempered Glass Protector, which cost upward of $30+. However, it was either a bad installation or a faulty piece of glass, but the Spigen wouldn't stick to my Note 3.. I returned it, and purchased a clone off Ebay for $7.50. The clone works perfectly..The one for the GN 2014 cost $17.99, also off Ebay.. So, I spent $26 and sporting Tempered Glass on both my Notes..

The SGP Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GLAS.t Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, would be best, its kinda like a second layer of gorilla glass.
I dropped my note on the first week, so now dont care much about scratching it further, lucky the screen was not scratched.... I just try not to scratch the pen tip, so it doesnt end up scratching the screen when i use it. and i only use a case for when im out and about - otherwise the note fills too thick.

I couldn't agree more. I purchased 1 based off of a post on another topic. And it is her it hi fingerprints you better than anything I've ever used before and I have purchased a ton of screen protectors. In fact, it is almost cut too big and there was one tiny spot where the adhesive wouldn't work. I'm hoping the Amazon seller will replace it if I pay for shipping. Regardless of the faults I just mentioned and the high price, I recommend the hell out of it!
This - hands down!!

+1 for this. I got one as soon as I got my Nexus and it's done great! It holds up pretty decently against scratches and actually fits the entire screen. It's pretty, and applies flawlessly.
The only bad thing, as mentioned before is fingerprints. They accumulate really quickly and I find myself wiping my phone down every few days.
I use BoxWave anti-glare protectors on all my devices. I like the Teflon-like smoothness they give to the screen, and the slight graininess they add to the display doesn't bother me.
I've not had any problems with the cheap ones off ebay. If you get it wrong, it doesn't matter as they're only around 10p each!

Not sure how the good brand matte screen protectors are like, but the cheap ones i recieved were horrible. The quality was great but the screen resolution sucked bad. Gave it a washed out pixilated look to the screen. Took it off with in few minutes. I just ordered the tech armor HD clear see how that one is like. Got it in amazon prime for 7 bucks for pack of 3.

So you did choose matte. I once had it and it was driving me crazy. Just feels not right when you touch it. I like glossy ones.
I got the lloyd matte ones and i couldn't take it anymore after two days. It was fingerprint proof and that was great but the pixilation and loss of screen quality was a real dealbreaker. It was like looking at a old tube television really up close. Too bad. I really like how the touch was compared to the hd gloss ones.

The nano clear does not cover 100%. The only screen protector that cover full screen are wet applications or the dry application sgp curved crystal.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Some of the matte or anti-fingerprint screen protectors make the screen dull or grainy, some don't. I have typically just purchased Spigen crystal Clear but sometimes I just get the ones at the Verizon store too if I am out and need one on a hurry. I tend to avoid the Zagg film ones due to the orange peel affect. Some of the tempered glass type like Spigen's Glas.t (which they are not offering on the GS3) are beneficial as well.
One thing to keep in mind is not all screen protectors work with all cases. Case in point is the Spigen ones with the curved edges, I found they tend to lift and were useless.
I use iSmooth and my friends can't even tell its there. Its a dry application but doesn't cover the whole phone which I'm fine with.

No scratches, also, this is the first time I've used a screen protector on any of the phones I've used. I hate having one but I have to admit, I'm impressed with this one. IMO, the picture doesn't do any justice, thats not a lift, its the shadow on the edges. It's only $10 on amazon
Here's a tip when installing, have a scotch tape near by to remove any lints. It works better than what comes with the product.

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)....

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.

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.

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.
Hi, just got my Note 10.1 LTE. Should we really use a screen guard?? by the way I hate those.. I never used a screen protector in my Galaxy S - its been 3years without any scratch.

I've seen reviews and spec lists for the 2014 Note around the web that specify that it has Gorilla Glass 3. The Samsung website does not mention the glass at all, but that does not mean it doesn't have it.
I have an HP Touchpad which has Gorilla Glass 1. It never saw a screen protector and it doesn't have a scratch on it.
I do not intend to put a screen protector on my Note.
It has now seen three cases already though. So far I like the Poetic slimline best.

i use Benks screens (anti fingerprints - and it really makes a difference)...... love em.......

There was a long thread on this on AndroidCentral. One person was told by Samsung Technical Support that it had Gorilla Glass 3, and another was told it has a Samsung plated glass that is just as good.
I guess either way it's pretty tough glass. I saw a test on Gorilla Glass 2, it's a lot tougher than any tablet or phone needs.

Screen protectors don't prevent a screen from cracking, they only prevent the screen from scratches.
Never had one on a phone/tablet...and never needed one. They make the screen look crap IMO (unless you're extremely good and make sure there are no air bubbles). But then I still hate them! If it was that vital to have one, Samsung would include one by default.

Not necessarily true. Zagg xtreme shields specifically state that they add impact resistance as do just like glass screen protectors. Tempered glass protectors also do A LOT to increase the chance of your devices screen surviving a fall. Hope this was helpful.

I'm not trying to start an arguement here lol but I honestly dont see how a screen protector can prevent a screen from cracking, what it will do is keep the glass in place when it does crack which is a good thing in such an incident.
I understand however anyone who has used a tempered glass protector will swear by their ability to keep a screen from cracking. I theory they absorb the impact and crack then selves rather than letting your screen crack. Personally they have saved my own devices over a half dozen times. So in practice if certainly seems to work. Some such as MIME Ghost Glass actually are harder and more scratch resistant than Gorilla glass 3 and many believe feel better than their stock screens. While this is all anecdotal and opinion you will find a huge number of people on these forums staunchly defending them. That being said, I have yet to put any screen protector on my Note 2014 as always hope this was helpful.
