Hi,
My White 16 GB galaxy note was delivered on this Tuesday only.
I have done extensive search on internet for screen protector and flip case.
I zeroed in on SPIGEN SGP GLAS t. Premium Tempered Glass Series Screen Protector AND SPIGEN SGP GT-N7000 / AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE Leather Case Valentinus [Middle Brown], Diary Wallet Type
Both priced on high side.
I am in a dilemma that should I go for flip case and screen protector both or will flip case alone will suffice?
How's the quality of these 2 products of SPIGEN?
Thanks for the info.
You obviously did NOT try searching this topic. If you had searched, you would have found at least two threads with extensive reviews and discussion regarding the GLAS.t.
Try again and this time, use SEARCH!

I have gone through the threads on this forum, but i didn't find a thread which discuss about having screen protector and flip case together.
My point here is should I spent 40 $ extra on screen protector if I am buying flip case?
Thanks
Any ways I ordered from Amazon for both the protector and case to be on safe side.
The case will have credit card and etc and they could cause scratches.
Not that this will matter for the OP but I think you should have a screen protector and a case. The Galaxy Note (and any other phone glass including devices with the somewhat overrated Corning Gorilla Glass) can get scratched by anything harder than the glass. This can include a grain of sand between your finger and the glass.
Get a screen protector. They are anywhere from $30 to less than $1. If the day comes that you scratch your screen, you'll probably wish you could pay $30 to have it new again, so spare yourself even the chance and use a screen protector. Amazon has a 5pk for less than $2 shipped to your door.

I use the Glas.t and SPIGEN flip case - they work beautifully together and i dould highly recommend them
(i did an extensive review of a few SPIGEN products on this forum )
howdy
folk get far too obsessed with screen protectors.. a flip case will annoy you after a week
I had the official flip and changed it to a £3.49 TPU gel case that came with a free screen protector and the phone is in A1 condition after 3 months
but you pays your money you takes your choice
I can't speak for the flip case, but SPIGEN make very high quality stuff. Money well spent!
So I've been looking at the screen protector threads around here, and while people have been pointing out good deals, and bad ones, I've yet to see anyone really comment about the "Feel" of their screen protector.
Long story short: I HATE the Zagg I have on my Evo 3D. Playing Fruit Ninja and the likes on it is impossible unless I want to coat my screen in butter so it's more slick. A few rounds and I feel like I'm going to burn my fingertips off! Hate, hate, hate. That's all I feel for Zagg. Anyway, I'm planning on leaving the phone naked (No case) with just the screen protector on, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good screen protector that will fit the bill?
I had a Sprint branded screen protector for my original Evo 4G, and it was perfect! It was as smooth as the glass, fit well, and I could hardly see it unless I looked at an angle, so maybe they'll have one at my sprint store on release day. (Albeit at a 50000% markup. Ew...) But I'd rather not spend 40$ on a piece of plastic. Lol.
Anyone got any suggestions?

One is Flex and one is Ultra Crystal. Not sure of the difference between them, other than price.
Edit, good info on both of them in this thread. I think I might try the Flex.

Have had a Spigen on my iPhone 4 for over a year and it still feels great. Will be getting one for my S3 as well.
If like glass is what you want i'm thinking you're gonna have to go with a dry application protector
Thanks for the replies everyone. Gonna go with the Ultra Crystal, sounds like what I want. Reviews on the Flex make it sound like the Zagg, with the wet application and the loss of smoothness on the protector.
Now I'm going to have a pile of accessories to go with my phone that I don't even have yet.

Haha, join the club! I have 2 full body XtremeGuard protectors, 3 XtremeGuard screen protectors, a Fosmon TPU case, Otterbox Commuter case on order and a TriboScreen screen protector on order. Also have an EZOPower electroluminescent charger cord on order. About to order a car holder and a desk dock and I think I'll be good for a while

exactly i had abunch of skinomis during their .95 sale on hox and it was horrible. the flex is exactly the same (wet, flexible application. rainbow effects galore.)
Sgp flex hd is fantastic but....
I just ordered the sgp flex hd as a back up. I love spigen products. With that said, You can't get any closer to a "glass feel" then a tempered glass screen protector. I've only found one online and just ordered it. The link is....
well I can't post the link until I have 10 posts. Anyways it's called the spectre for android and you can find it through a site called xgearlive

I know this specific thread is for NOT using a case, but is that tempered glass protector thick enough to interfere with most cases?

Spigen has one for the iPhone. Hoping they release one for the S3 as well. Is that xgearlive a good company to deal with? Would these types of screen protectors work with the C-Pen?

Spigen/SGP said that they won't be making the Glas t glass screen protector for the galaxy s3 because of its curved screen. A shame, but understandable.
Makes me wonder how xgearlive are going to manufacture a glass screen protector with a decent fit.
It won't be able to go to the edge, not as it's curved.
hopefully xgearlive will offer a discount for s3 users, the gnexus has USD 5 off.
I came across this brand on Amazon UK, they do a wide range of accessories (which often clone other popular accessories) at a discount price. Here are a few examples.
http://amzn.to/1guMyhi
Fusion Gel Hard Case - clearly a replica of the Rearth Ringke Fusion but a bit cheaper and comes with screen protectors
http://amzn.to/1bfgM2g
Tough case only £6
http://amzn.to/1ausDGW
Flip wallet case with stand only £5
http://amzn.to/1guN66M
Tempered glass screen protector only £5, have ordered one of these myself
http://amzn.to/1bPd8QI
Wallet case less than £4 delivered
10 cases for £10 http://amzn.to/1jSbOeV
They also do a range of basic cases for as little as £1.50. Has anyone got any hands on experience with any of these? I'm interested in knowing what the quality is like.
Bonus: here's a pack of 5 screen protectors for £1 delivered, not by Orzly though http://amzn.to/1auus6J

Good test and write up about screen protectors.

Short story - plastic ones good for impact protection - glass ones for scratch
I went for the excellent spg ones as I always do

I ve ordered a tempered Glass screen protector for nexus 5 from ebay . co. Uk
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
My orzly glass screen protector finally shipped yesterday so hopefully will arrive this week.
Thanks for the links, some good cases in there for good prices. Might have to give them a go for my Nexus 5:good:
I ordered a cheap Orzly TPU Gel case with 2 screen protectors from this seller for 99p.
The screen protectors aren't the right ones. On the other hand, the seller has since emailed saying that they are aware that the wrong screen protectors have been sent out, and that they will be sending out the correct ones as soon as they have them.
More disappointingly the case doesn't fit. It's too short - probably only by a millimetre, but no amount of stretching will get it to stay on the phone.
Think I will be asking for a refund.
Edit: The s-line gel case I have fits fine.
I've just recived the Orzly Fusion Gel Hard Case.
Bought from Amazon here.
The case is solid and fits perfectly the phone, the border comes out for like 1mm so that if the phone falls down face down it will not hit the screen, same for the back so that you can place the phone face up on any surface without the fear of scratching the camera lens.
Volume buttons are ok, power button is still good but a little bit harder to press than the volume buttons (you'll have to use your nail).
Attached are some pictures.
My tempered glass screen protector arrived yesterday but unfortunately arrived damaged, they issued a refund.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Fusion-SmartPhone-Includes-Protectors/dp/B00GDH4AL4/
4.99£ with amazon prime, I'm really itching to go for it but worried about the power button being harder to press...
I've ordered the carbon fibre style wallet case and it should come this week (before my phone does... ). Maybe I'll remember to post here about it or make a thread on its own.
They recently added to the description a 'sleep/wake' functionality. I do hope that's the case.
Same Here

Totally agree.
I've received mine, a white one. Cheap doesn't mean ****, screen protector touch is really nice, case fits perfectly. However, as you say, power button is a bit harder, still I'm using Cataclysm Rom "volume button to wake" feature, so it really don't bother me
Sorry for my english !
Cheers from France o/~
So my carbon fiber look wallet case arrived this morning. For the price of it I can't really complain. It feels good, it sleeps/wakes the phone upon open and close, the latch magnet works both ways to when the case is open as a stand or closed the latch keeps itself out of the way.
I'm not really sure what else to say. If any of you have questions then feel free to ask.
I got my tempered glass screen protector and it is very good with one tiny exception about 0.5 cm south of the home button where it formed what looks like a bubble that just won't stick to the screen underneath. Still recommend it as everywhere else on the screen you can't tell there is a protector on.

anti explosion?
Yes,explosion! See if you're in an explosion don't worry! You might be dead, but your phone's screen won't have a scratch XD
At this price, you'd probably be better off getting the OEM protector from OP (which is only $5, if I remember correctly).

Depends on preference. PET vs tempered glass.
I am not a huge fan of tempered glass protectors, I have seen them break screens underneath the glass without breaking the glass. They can do more harm than good.

Man, 2 for £6.99 is really cheap. Anyone had any experience with the brand?
All I could find is this.
EDIT: Going up in price. Now £8.99
at ebay seems that one nillkin case appeared!
i bought the case and also the anti-explosion screen protector! (the case has one nillkin screen protector but not the tempered.)
Just get the Original Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for my oneplus one from aliexpress.com. Just want use it to protect my phone from dust, scratching. Nice product.
Would you buy the Nillkin?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/321428374151?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Or the Orzly?
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
Nillkin or Orzly, which can you recommend? (I only had exim (now nexxaScreen) and dipos till now).
I have the Nillkin. Feels a bit lower quality than a high end Spigen one. The transmission isn't great. you can visually tell there's something between the screen and your eyes.
i would go with orzly for sure
I totaly agree with the nilken one being cheap. I ordered it from aliexpress and it arrived broken. i ordered it from ebay and then returned it as it was square edged and looked quite universal. Did a google search and came across a youtube link with the orzly video (type in orzly one plus one glass screen) and then found it on amazon. The packaging, the manual and everything about it looked the same as a spigen one and it looked like its from the same factory
at $14.99 from amazon.com i was chuffed to bits with it. I also brought a orzly one plus one case as well.
Anyway the video on youtube does a good job in showing it of and i hope this post answers your questions and helps.

A third on the nilken... the window for the ffc and ear speaker is a slot going all the way across from the right side of the speaker to the left side of the ffc port. in between, there's a gap that doesn't need to be there. I'll try the Orzly when the time comes to replace it.
Ordered the Nillkin Tempered Glass Protector too - for me it's working fine since two weeks. Never had such a good screen protector. If you can wait the two weeks shipment from Hongkong (to Germany), you can't go wrong with it. And: it's only around ten dollars!
0.2 mm something new?
Anyone got a feedback or experience about new 0.2 mm tempered glass?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...reen-Protector-for-One-Plus-1/1963220626.html
I mean, if you take Nillkin or Orzly, etc. they are all 0.3 mm..... and if you look at the pictures in the ali listing, the difference in thickness could be a real deal breaker...

Hey guys,
I'm hopefully getting the Zenfone 2 next week and I wanted to know what phone cases and screen protectors you can recommend. :highfive:
The Nilkin Nature one is super nice, especially if you want to people to be able to see how nice your phone looks. I went with a Monoy tempered glass screen protector as it does not cover the proximity sensor.
Here are links to both on Amazon:
Nilkin case- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W58R2KG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Monoy tempered glass- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XONLRSY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I ordered this glass protector, i think the cheapest one you can find on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Nacodex®-Asus-5-5inch-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00X4JAD06/
but i still did not get a chance to test it, the one I ordered arrived cracked, but it has openings for the sensors and front camera though
Nice, thanks for the information.
I know it's a new phone and I would like to get it myself, but I wanted to find out some good cases and glass screens for the handset before I get the handset!!
