Can anyone recommend a good tempered glass screen protector for the note 10.1 2014 model? I can't seem to find many and the ones I do have scant and very mixed reviews at best... I've never gotten a tempered glass screen protector but I definitively want the added drop/shatter protection. The only thing that worries me is that if I accidently but a crap one, the S Pen responsiveness will be hindered or the protector will peel off etc.
Also, an antiglare tempered glass would be amazing but I've only found these to be in the plastic protectors. I could live without it to get better shatter protection, though so any suggestions on the tempered glass protector is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I bought one on dx.com but it seems they removed it from the page; the exact name was:
Angibabe Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition P600

I like it very much, the tab feels natural and you can stop worrying about screen scratchs and stuff. Finger detection works perfectly. Pen functions very well with the exception of on thing: if you don't use the pen perfectly perpendicular to the screen near the edges(about .5 centimeter) the detection is moved millimeters from the actual pen tip touching the screen. This problem may be happening to all tablets and I don't know it because i wont take the protector off but it seems logic that the detection is affected that way with a some space added between the pen and the actual screen. Theoretically this could be fixed with calibration on the drivers or kernel or whatever but i am no expert.
Anyway, if you stay away from the corners and the screen borders you'll be very happy with the results a tempered glass has on this device.
I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in real quick. Ive put 4 diffrent ones on mine cause I messed up every one. Lol but make sure you turn tablet off and its not hot cause I made the mistake of playing on tablet then putting it on and a air bubble came where the screen was hot and I couldnt get out. I also messed up the others but when I did the tape on sides like a hinge it went on perfect. You can google it, there are alot of videos. I bought mine now on ebay. If you want a good one and want to spend some extra money there is ghost glass but I think its like 50 dollars. Mine was cheaper and they said it was anti fingerprint but I get fingerprints on it. They come right of with screen cleaner rag though. I just went to look on ebay but there not selling the one I bought anymore. Mine works fine with spen and fingers. I did buy the cheap one from china also, I would stay away from those. They always come broke, they will send another one but it takes some time to get.
Update.
Went to the store todsy and tried the galaxy note 12. It had the same problem i was describing above and without any protector so i am guessing it is a tablet problem and we can use protector without fearing it might affect the usage.
I use the techpro tempered glass with no problems
I got a cheap one from ebay too. It's a little thick, 4mm, and doesn't fit perfectly, probably 1-2mm gap around the edges, but the tablet works just as it did without it. I'm a heavy user of the s pen and i don't see any difference in offset. I didn't have any problem applying it...i used the home key hole to line it up.
I agree with the other poster that it does nothing to discourage fingerprints, but overall i'm happy with it and would use the same cheap ebay one again. I'd say give it a try.... $20 to try is better than $50 for the "good" one unless you really need a perfect and thin fit.
I just bought one on ebay a couple of days ago. Its called: TechPro Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Samsung. Itwas 21.99. Ill post pics once i receive the screen protector
Can anyone recommend any goods ones
Just got a mime glass protector and it's awesome. Fits perfectly. I've used their glass on a few of my devices. Always use their stuff when they make one for the device I'm on.

I picked it up on Amazon for $19.95 with free 2 day shipping with the student deal they are currently running. It fir great and works fine but it's not as fingerprint resistant as Zagg Glass Shields I have used in the past. Of course Zagg doesn't make a Glass Shield for our Note so that's not really an option.
This is the one I got off Amazon, I'm sure you can find it again but it's perfect around all edges and screen works great as well. Paid like 20 something for it and wish I got a couple more.

I use a protector by Skinomi. No problems with bubbles, nice feel and responds to fingers or s-pen just fine. I got it on Amazon. Real inexpensive also. All specs are on Amazon..
Hello,
Already anybody with a good fitting glass screenprotector?
I have tried 2, but they don't fit good at the edges.

I've seen many people with the same problem as yours, that is why I haven't got a screen protector.
I have some under watch in eBay, but I'm waiting on feedback before purchasing
I bought those "liquid/nano Screenprotectors" coz they fit every screen.
I dont know if they are good but my screen is still like new.
Ultimate Shield are now doing glass protectors for a range of Honor and Huawei devices, including the P20 Lite. They are priced to be a bit more premium, but I have used them in the past and been quite happy with them. This was before the trend of curving the edges of phone screens though. These are full sized protectors with a coloured border, but the glue is full coverage rather than just at the edges. I have just fitted one to my son's new P20 Lite. As it has just been fitted I am unable to comment on durability yet. However the fit seems pretty good. As mentioned, it covers the front of the device fully from edge to edge both horizontally and vertically. The hole for the speaker and camera lines up perfectly, but it does look like the black borders encroach a little onto the actual display area at the sides. I don't think this would be enough to impede usage of the phone on a daily basis. It is just noticeable as it disrupts the flow of the rounded corners. The edges are nicely rounded and are not a harsh edge, unlike the cheap protector that I currently have on my Honor View 10 (I have bought an Ultimate Shield for this too, just haven't fitted it yet). I did manage to get one tiny bit of dust under the protector which has caused a small bubble, but this is under the display in the chin area so no real issue and not a fault with the screen protector. There was another bubble at the top left of the display, but keeping pressure on this meant it eventually disappeared. At the edge in the same area I noticed a small sized air pocked just creeping out along the black border, almost as if it was a tiny area with the infamous halo. This isn't noticeable with the screen on and I hope it will go over time. Overall I am quite happy with how it fits and looks. The only real negative is that the supposed oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be doing a great job. But, tbh, I don't think I have ever found a screen protector where it has worked as I expected. Are my expectations just not realistic? Or do we have particularly oily finger tips? Nothing a frequent wipe on a t-shirt won't sort out though.
Would certainly recommend if you are fed up of these screen protectors that are much too small and give you a halo round the edges.

They also do full body coverage wet apply protectors (invisible shield style) if you like that kind of thing.
I got one when i bought the phone and it did not fit good at the edges, but i found a youtube clip called "Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)" and it worked for me. its been 3 months since then and all is good.
I recently got a couple of small light scratches on my s10+ i am hoping they are just on the film protector that already on the phone and not the screen itself.
I bought a glass protector on Amazon, the one on this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SZP3WRH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't really read the reviews as such at first but after i have received them noticed only 1 person had reviews that has my phone saying the finger print sensor doesn't work and also pointed out that all the other 5 star reviews had been added on the same day, so after looking again they do all seem a bit dodgy.
I have been reluctant to open the pack and try them and have opted to just get a refund instead.
I am in the uk, does anyone know any glass protectors on Amazon that are actually good and do work with the fingerprint scanner, or will only the film ones work? My only problem with the film ones is the air bubbles and also the fact i think will be awkward to fit around the corner of the screen. I assume the glass ones would just fit around perfectly?
Any help would be great
Thanks

The S10+ uses ultrasonic waves for its fingerprint authorisation whilst other phones use optical (light). The ultrasonic works by 'reading' the bumps and grooves of your finger, including their location and depth. Because of this technology, a glass SP would need to be mighty thin but more importantly be in full contact with the scanner area of the screen
Whitestone Dome had originally thought it managed this by using a UV activated liquid glue to eliminate any space. The trouble is as soon as you press on the FP area, the dynamic of the glass and space changes, which is enough to give an error when scanning. Whitestone recently updated its instruction to press on the FP scanner for a minute or so before fully curing. But even this is not enough to prevent the minute shifts in the glass and glue to cause an error
The reviews for the Whitestone are hit and miss (i tried it myself but it did not work well for me)....so LSS, there seems there is no feasable glass SP for the S10+ at present
Your next best option is a dry applied TPU film - there are some good 4 stage application ones where you first place it on the screen, then fold back one half and squeeze it onto the screen with a hard card, then fold back the other half and do the same. Lastly, you just remove the protective cover
It doesnt give full edge-edge coverage but works well with the FP scanner, case friendly and leaves no bubbles
Hope this helps
I second meddylad only because I also couldnt get whitestone to work what so ever. Tried 2 different times and they both times failed. Bought a zagg film which has the apply one side at a time without bubbles and it protects my front camera. Now they sent me out a glassfusion(it what they called it) got here today but havent installed it yet. Took it out to see if it was glass but it bends to easy so I'm thinking it's more like a harder plastic
Any brand that use glue with uv can work with s10. Just make sure when u install, on the finger print portion u need to push it while u dry the glue with uv light. I had done many times with success
the whitedome works.. except after a while.. bubble will form out of no where along the edge and more and more will appear from out of no where
Just curious..whats wrong with the one comes default..i think s10+ comes with default samsung screen protector..right?
Good thinking, I'll give it a go. I don't like the plastic film covers that you can buy but I'd rather have one of them than nothing at all. I'll keep this glass one on til I can find something better

I read on one of the android websites, can't remember exactly now. But they tested a few and the only one that works is a Whitestone Dome Glass. It's like $70 aud. Expensive.
Whitdom glass, I ve installed it yesterday, fingerprint works really great but I just need to Apply a bit more pressure then before, but it's a great screen protector you can't even notice it's there it does not mess up with the beauty of your screen colours and it's super high touch responsive, I like it

I confirm, I bought a tempered glass sold with glue and UV lamp on Aliexpress for less than 3 euros and it worked. As mentioned, it is necessary to press a little on the scanner area before complete drying with the UV lamp. I have no problem to unlock the phone Avoid spending your money for the Whitdom solution, there are cheaper altenatives that work just as well
Here are the steps I followed to place the screen protector: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiSUzh47_50
I just ordered a White Stone Dome for my S10+. I'll let you know how it works.

does anyone know one from aliexpress that comes with more than the basics ... like whitestone has the lining guard so its easy to line up the glass and also i believe stickers to cover the earpiece so glue doesnt get in
I installed the Whitestone on my S10+ the other day. It was a simple process to install, no issues. Followed the video they have on their site. I cured it once, pressed the fingerprint portion of the screen down and cured it again twice. I tried to register my fingerprint immediately after, and it didn't work. I promptly sent an email. I found I had to press rather hard to get the fingerprint registered. I turned up the touch sensitivity, and I've had no issues with the fingerprint sensor thus far. It works almost 100% as accurate when I had no screen protector installed. I consciously press a bit harder when scanning my fingerprint, but other than that no issues. I also registered my thumb three times in 3 different positions. This may have helped, or it might not do anything.

I bought an AmFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector from Amazon. It costs like $40 and you get 2 (I guess in case you mess one up applying it). I haven't put it on yet because I have a hybrid screen protector on my S10+ from Zagg that's supposed to be glass and plastic or some kind of film with a lifetime warranty.

good day sir, do you have a video link on how to install this glass? thanks in advance.
Ive tried WSD and some cheap versions online and tried the cure all / cure top then press hard n cure bottom and although i get some success its hit n miss....
I will wait to see what new products come out but for now the best ive found is the otao dry applied TPU
to share my very pleasant surprise.
TOCOL plastic screen protector for Note 10, TOCOL [3 Pack] for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Screen Protector
I have been using almost exclusively glass protector up to now, but tired of the problem with curved screen. TOCOL really worked out.
The quality is very good. the right among of rigidity that feels solid when touching or using stylus, but also gives a bit of yielding and friction as if writing on paper. It holds up very well too, after a month, there has not been a single visible scratch. The adhesion is excellent without any delamination on edge. even once that I accidentally peeling it off when popping phone out of case, was able fully press protector back on without problem.
It also has a new (at least to me) a great idea of how it is applied... you get to see the description/video. by having a leading rigid edge to "sweep" the screen as it is applied, you won't have problem of small dust remaining on screen or misalignment anymore. quite brilliant.
and it is cheap...
How's the fingerprint
and how bad is the orange peel effect?
I've used Screen Knight protectors on all of my recent phones. Search on eBay costs around £4-5 depending on model.
It conforms perfectly to the curved screen, and is applied using water so you get a perfect screen with no chance of it being squint or getting debris underneath.
Fingerprint and screen sensitivity are unaffected. You wouldn't know it was on the phone.
My last one lasted 2 years and was literally unmarked.
Easy to remove to sell phone. Highly recommended for a phone with curved screen.

Haven't tried that one but I'm thinking the front one isn't going to adhere well (curved edges) and the back one covers up the beautiful matte finish with fingerprint gloss. I did get this one for the front Whitestone Dome EZ (it's only $10 not the $60 one) and it works beautifully with all cases since it only covers the screen portion. Since it stays on the flat part, it adheres beautifully and won't have lint or moisture trapped underneath or cause touch sensitivity issues. It is however ANYTHING BUT "EZ" to install properly. I burned 3 of them before the 4th one finally fully adhered. And that was after massaging each corner for about 20 minutes one at a time. But other than the corner adhesion issues, the shape, size, and feel of this thing is absolutely perfect. Edges are rounded nicely and there is a slight frame to allow swiping in on the screen without lifting it, and the dimensions make it compatible with virtually any case. But let us know how this works if you try it. There don't seem to be too many tempered glass screen protectors for these things yet.
I do have both Whitecastle dome at main and outer and looks amaising also you keep thet crystal fell and look. INFO im using spigen pro armor and causes the protector to get peel at the corners planning to modify the case just sanding that area for solve the issue
