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.
My note 10.1 came with a free screen guard (SuperGuard - Clear for Note 10.1 2014) from my vendor. And I checked documentation for the devce.. didn't find Gorilla Glass mentioned anywhere.. so the question is - should we really use a screen protector for Note 10.1 2014?
Comments and your experience please..
Screen protectors required?
Hi Guys,
Please help with your experience.. do we really need to use the so called 'screen guards' / screen protector film?

You will be fine without a screen guard.

This was my answer to a similar question on another thread....hope it helps....
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

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.

the old 6 of one half a dozen of the other
i agree about the strengths of modern day screens
gorilla glass or not
but i find without a screen the fingerprints are harder to clean as i use mine for drawing etc
i had my P600 with a screen and without a screen and then i put a screen back on
i use Benks screens (anti fingerprints - and it really makes a difference)...... love em.......
if you put on a cheap screen then you wont know what i am talking about
i can understand if people dont use em.....
cheers all and love my P600

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.
I am using the xtreme guard screen protector and quite happy with it. I have dropped my tablet couple of times and I am glad I had the screen protector

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.

I've ordered a tempered glass protector for now. But I know from previous experience some protectors give a better note making experience. I'd be interested in any recommendations. Thanks in advance.
Note - I'll probably use the free new S Pen as opposed to one of the Wacom pens for Samsung Note devices.

I haven't used screen protectors on my devices, past and present. Smartphones and tablets have to be bare, in my humble opinion, in order to enjoy the screen. The question could be similar to, without being vulgar, what condom enhances sex.
My tab s3 came with spare nibs in two colors: black for smooth and soft writing and white for a more dull but frictionless style.
Just for reference, the pen of the Surface Pro 4 comes with a kit holding four different nibs: 2H, H, HB and B.
As for scratches, I am the screen protector....

It is also good to know that even gorilla glass is not scratch proof but scratch resistant, and not 100% scratch resistant either. But I know people who don't like any screen protector on their phone or tablet, my son is one of them. So it is a matter of taste and opinion.
I never used screen protector on the previous tablets, neither on my actual Note 3 smartphone. But the recent reviews on s8 screen issues made me purchase a Poetic Screen protector on Amazon...
It works fine. Same responsiveness and same look with o without it.

Hello I just recently got my self a pixel 2 XL and I'm looking for a good screen protector. I've done some looking around and found ALOT of options but it seems that screen protector quality has gone way down since I last bought one (for an older phone).
What I'm looking for:
a temptered glass, non do matrix, case friendly, non edge adhesive screen protector that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (for what the product is).
If anyone has had a good experience with anything that would fit the criteria please let me know.
Thank you for any and all responses and recommendations.
I dunno which ones like other people but for me is important protec edge to edge, curved screen protector. I found ome on amazon:

I saw those, and I like the idea and the product seemsd really well reviewed just really pricy for a screen protector. I mean I have most of the stuff that makes those good (i.e. loca, uv lamp) I just don't have the actual screen protector.
Had the Pixel 2 XL since the release and I also used glass protectors but they're just nowhere near as good as they are for other phones. It's really odd that there aren't more affordable screen protectors besides the Whitedome or whatever it's called. It's also the one that I refuse to spend that much money on, lol.
The reviews on Amazon are also insane since a crap ton of them are fake reviews besides the 1 star ones. Although this isn't a glass protector, keep this one in mind. [emoji106]
After trying multiple brands of screen protectors, mainly curved ones, I decided to try a film one. After messing with the S10 and watching the review on this screen protector, I gave it a shot, and hands down, I don't regret it. Has to be my favorite so far, even though I was iffy about it at first.

Three main thing keeping me away from the film screen protectors it's they usually have noticeably more resistance during use than the tempted glass alternatives. How did that one feel when using?

It feels more like the protector that comes with the S10. It's a wet apply, and feels really smooth compared to the other film protectors. I know the film type you're talking about, and I've used this one for 8 days now. I guess the only bad part about this screen would be if you get something under it.
If you do happen to mess up during installation, it says they'll send you another one no problem, but I recommend at least giving this one a shot. [emoji14]

I've recently started using Screenknight film screen protector, and whilst it does have more resistance than a glass screen ... Using it with my Unicorn Beetle Pro (after removing the built in screen protector) it makes my phone feel indestructible ... Much better than the glass because it wraps around the edge of the screen which is then covered completely with my case ... I'd does a have a very slight "orange peel" effect if looking in the right light, but all in all I'm much happier with this than any of the many glass screens I have tried and wasted money on !

Definitely upgrading my OP 6 this time with a Oneplus 7 Pro and will be getting it on launch day. Will there be any proper tempered glass protectors which wouldn't block the Oneplus 7 Pro screen on the sides? Wasn't lucky with the Oneplus 6 TG protectors as they were blocking the screen. The screen this time looks a lot more curved from the images and chances of a fully fitting tempered glass looks very bleak with the bezels almost vanishing.
Finished applying gadgetshieldz full body protection on my Oneplus 7 Pro. The screen protector goes all the way to the edges. This is freakin invisible after applying and almost feels like glass...Great scratch protection if you use your device naked.
There is no proper TG protectors yet due to the curved screen. This feels great with the back and camera lens protection as bonus....

Or should I go for those liquid or wet install protectors like Gadgetshieldz or Zagg Invisibleshield as these cover the screen edge-to-edge? Gadgetshieldz is already on pre-order

There are some in the Amazon but not sure about the quality and no info about the whitestone and zagg. These flexi screen protectors with a case are your best bet till anything worthwhile comes in tempered glass protectors for the Oneplus 7 Pro.

Im just worried due to curved screen on Pro that we wont get a easy to apply one.
Will probably need to use blue light to put it on and that makes them quite expensive and not compatible with all cases. My Pixel 2 XL still has no protector due to this.

But Whitestone dome is providing screen protectors for Samsung devices. Not for Oneplus.
I've just been trolling Aliexpress and it seems like that they are making UV curing full cover screen protectors, here is just 2 that I found that might work really well for the OP7 Pro. ?

One plus hasnt had a curved screen until now so no need for whitestone to make one.
They may now
Reached out to Dbrand and they said they're working on a Prism screen protector for the 7 Pro
Quick reminder to anyone buying one, as with the OP6T, once you apply the protector, remember to re-register your fingerprints for accurate detection.
(Experienced users will know this, newbies may not realise it)
I was using 3mk Arc 3D foil on my Galaxy S8+. It was much better than any glass I was using before. It had self healing feature and was totally invisible on any angle. Compared to any 9h glass which often are shinny as hell it was a perfect solution. Also it was compatible with any case( I was using it with neo hybrid from Spigen) I hope that 3MK will make it also for OP7 pro.
Using the Skinomi matte protector on my 6T which is self healing and feels like a glass screen protector. Getting the same thing for the 7 pro as soon as it's available. Best screen protector I've ever had.
