[Q] What Nice Screen Protector do you recommend?

I'm wondering what you guys think is the ultimate screen protector for the Galaxy note 2! I have always used invisible shield but I felt like it would be to... well for lack of better wording "sticky" with the s-pen.
I ordered a Spigen Ultra Crystal and while it is not as smooth for the s-pen as the naked screen is, it is acceptable to me. However, the thing was not easy to get on straight (I am insanely OCD obout that) and I got it on, but i guess it is too low since the bottom wont seal all the way (the GN2 glass is curved?) I don't like that
- The screen protector must be very statically charged because it picks up little particles of stuff like crazy.
- It is also a fingerprint Magnet.
- It doesn't cover as much of the screen as i would like (not a huge deal and it might be intentional because of the curved glass)
So... what screen protectors do use guys like that work well with the s-pen? Preferably between $10 and $60
(also, please no posts about how screen protectors are useless and gorilla glass blah blah)

I'm waiting for invisible shield hd which feels like glass and doesn't distort the display. Running a cheap one for now until that is available.
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II

Phantomskinz and ghost armor are my favorite

Clear protector is just as good as ZAGG HD. They have Note 2 available now.

Think we are going to have a hard time finding a perfect one. I have the ghost armored installed. Way better then the zagg but it is a little soft. Leaving imprints if you push down with your Spen. Might be able work them out by warming the screen up but haven't tried.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Just installed. You want this.
There's two types of screen protectors -- flexible / rubberish like zagg or hard / plastic like this.
You do not want the flexible ones. Pen wont work well with those flexible screen protectors, you'll get orange peel distortion.
You want this. Clear and no distortion.

have always used and loved the ones from http://bodyguardz.com, great protection, feel great, they send you 2 sets and have lifetime replacement, all you pay for is shipping, plus they have these newer "carbon fiber" styled ones that I really like.

I installed my Spigen protector in the bathroom right after I got out of the shower. With a steamy bathroom, all the dust particles stay on the ground therefore dustless and perfect install.

The install went fine with my spigen and there isn a anything between the protector and the glass but after I installed it dust and stuff would attract to the screen protector. It stopped for some reason now and im pretty happy with it now unless I see something better on here

Thanks for all the replies so far, it seems like there are quite a few good ones to try haha.

Never used screen protectors before, but I have heard that this screen gets many scratches on it very quickly...so, with that in mind, I want a high quality protector...no matter the cost. Is the Zagg HD a hard protector (like recommended for the S-Pen) or is it soft just like all their other protectors? Also, how is the spiegen protector?

im using armorsuit militaryshield on the entire phone. it works great

Compatibility: Specifically designed for LG Google Nexus 5 (2013)
Invisible, superior quality, 3-layer PET film that will not distort the High Definition screen clarity/colors
Protects screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear
Attaches smoothly with self-adhering surface, leaves no residue when removed
Includes: 3x Screen Protector, Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, Squeeze Card
First, The screen protectors were in a nice stiff card board packaging. This protects it from bends during shipping. This is a nice change from the usual screen protectors I order off ebay thats in a simple envolope and sometimes comes bent.
The accessories are of good quality. The microfiber is better than the ones I usually get with screen protectors. It's grey, decent in size and has a good feel to it. It's tons better than the pink, blue or yellow cheapies that come with other screen protectors. (You know the microfiber sheets I'm talking about, we all got one of those before), It also comes with a squeegee and lint remover/hinge stickers. The lint remover/hinge stickers are meant for any dust you can see on the screen before applying or used as a hinge for applying the film.
Also for the first timers in applying a screen protector; it has step by step directions for best results. There are instructions for 2 methods. Hinge method (what the stickers are for) and regular method.
It has cutouts for the camera, ear piece speaker and light sensors. They are cut and aligned correctly. This being said it is a little difficult to get an absolute perfect alignment of all three since the "remove tab 1 here" is at the bottom of the protector. This means that you need to apply the bottom first on the phone and aligning the 3 at the top is a little difficult. There are 3 protectors so thats good if you mess up once or twice.
The film is definitely clear, no rainbow effects, no loss of touch sensitivity and not too sticky when swiping my finger across it. When removing the second film on the protector, it is quite sticky however. Just do a quick wipe with a liquid lcd/glass cleaner. It went away and now its has a good smooth but feel when doing finger gestures. You can barely tell there is a screen protector on the thing.
Overall I'm very happy with it. 3 Protectors with lifetime warranty. Techmatte, the maker of the protectors, also has good customer service. What not to like about that?
I'd give it an easy 9.5/10

Review of Anker Anti-glare screen protector for S5 w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker anti-glare screen protector for S5. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hig...lare-Anti-Fingerprint-Lifetime/dp/B00IOCN5Q2/
After getting S5 over the weekend, now I'm starting to receive a lot of accessories sent to me from different vendors for review. So as a heads up, a lot more reviews are coming!!! To start off, I'm going to look at Anker new anti-glare/anti-scratch Galaxy S5 screen protector pack. Here is what I found.
With every new gen, smartphone manufacturers introducing a more durable displays and trying to tell us that we don't need screen protectors. 2-3 years ago screen protector was a must because it was easy to scratch the glass, but today you might argue if you really need one. Plus with tempered glass protectors getting thinner, you might think why would you even need a traditional PET film screen protector? If you look at all the junk on ebay - don't even waste your money, even if it's as cheap as $0.99. The reason why I decided to look into PET film sp as my first accessory because the phone is actually for my wife and she uses it a lot outdoors. Plus I have two little kids at home who like to get their hands on it too. Anker, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with their external batteries, now expanding their product line and adding screen protectors in addition to their battery and power products. The model I'm looking at offers 4H hardness (this is beyond typical cheap 2H films, and even premium 3H films), anti-scratch resistance, fingerprint reduction (very easy to swipe, even without cleaning cloth), dust reduction due to less static generation, and the most important - matte finish for glare reduction.
For $5.99 it came packed with a lot of goodies, including 3 screen protectors, a generous size micro-fiber cloth, a bubble removal card (plastic, not some cheap carton tab), a sticky strip to remove dust, and even a detailed instruction manual. They also offer a lifetime warranty, but to be honest between 3 protectors, you will be covered for a "lifetime" until you switch to a new phone anyway. But still, having a pack of 3 with a lifetime guarantee gives you a piece of mind in case if you mess up during installation. Actually, install took me a minute. It went on easy, got a few specks of dust so I lift it up to clean it, and put it back on squeezing out the air bubbles. One thing I do have to note, it has anti-glare matte finish, so it adds a layer of tint to your bright screen and makes it look a bit grainy. But that's a price you gotta pay. Otherwise, get their clear screen protector.
Is this an absolute must have accessory for S5? It's up to you to decide. Personally, I wouldn't leave your screen exposed because next time you will end up with S5 and keys or loose change in your pocket - you might not be as lucky to get away without a scratch. Plus, if you are struggling with a glare outside, this might be a good solution for you. For $5.99 it's dirt cheap, good quality, and comes from a reputable company.
Here are the pictures.

2.5 D Nexus 5 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Hi folks,
I don't post very often but I just got my 2.5 D screen protector from www.dx.com (SKU 292915) and it's great so I'll do a review of it.
Product Summary:
Brand: 2.5 D
Price: $9.60
Ordered From: DealExtreme
Material: Tempered Glass
Thickness: 0.2mm
Screen Type: Glossy
Pros:
Premium packaging
Guide stickers for the hinge method
Dust removal kit (alcohol cloth, normal cloth and dust sticker)
Rounded edges
9H Hardness (survived a key scratch test)
Touch screen not affected
Only 0.2mm thick
Easy application
Cons:
Grey lines in top-left corner

First of all, the packaging. The packaging is above average for stuff from DX so that's nice. On the front there's just information about the product with 2 typos.

Inside the package you'll find an alcohol cloth, a normal cloth, 3 guide stickers for the hinge method, a dust removal sticker and of course the screen protector itself, which is packed separately.
The screen protector itself feels just like real glass. According to DX the protector is 0.2mm thick so that's pretty thin. The separate packaging of the protector has some Chinese and English application instructions, which are not very easy to read, but it's also not hard to do so. The instructions are calling the protector a "GLAS.t R" (like the Spigen one) instead of just a protector.
The cutouts are very well placed, if not perfectly. The protector is almost covering the entire screen, just a gap of 0.5mm so that you can use it with some cases. It works well with my hard plastic Nillkin case. Application goes very easy; clean phone, place it, lock in place with guide stickers, take the plastic layer off, lay it on your screen, touch the middle, press any other bubbles out.
There are some grey lines under the top left corner. If I push that corner, they will go away for a short amount of time. I don't know what it is, but it isn't dust.
The touch screen is not affected by the protector and I don't notice a difference in brightness; the screen is just as clear as without the protector on it.
This protector doesn't scratch easily, it survived a real life key test!
Review Summary: (Scale from 1 to 5)
Overall Rating: 4.5
Price: 5
Quality: 4.5
Ease of use: 5
Usefulness: 5
I hope this is a good first review, please comment whether you're about to buy one or not!

Tempered glass screen guard

Hi
Please check the link
http://www.phonearena.com/news/PET-...-to-know-to-choose-a-screen-protector_id58204
Protection with a temper! Tempered glass (TG) screen protectors are the absolute best you can buy. Material-wise, a high-quality TG protector is multi-layered, usually starting with shock absorbent silicon on the bottom layer, followed by PET film, and an optically clear adhesive to 'sandwich' the previous two layers with the next two, which are tempered glass and oleophobic coating. All of this scratch, oil, and shock protecting goodness is compressed into a <0.4mm-thick sheet that's no harder to apply than a PET or TPU protector, and none heavier or otherwise obnoxious.
A glass protector is superior to its alternatives in every way. It has better light transmittance, making for a clearer display. It's anti-reflective and glare reducing. It has oleophobic coating, which heavily reduces fingerprints. It has the smooth feel of actual glass under your fingertips. Unlike Gorilla Glass 3, it resists sand scratches, making it the only viable option for beachgoers. And let's talk about shock protection. T-glass protectors boast a material hardness rating of 8H to 9H, meaning they are hard enough to resist scratches from anything that's not topaz or corundum (extremely hard aluminum oxide). Yet, they aren't completely shatter-proof. Since this is toughened glass we're talking about, in the event of a fatal drop, the protector will absorb all the damage and break into tiny shards. Chances are pretty good that your display will end up unscathed underneath. Thus, instead of having to replace the entire screen, you'll only have to get a new protector. Which is easier on both your soul and your wallet.
As you probably expected, tempered glass protectors are the most expensive kind. Most renowned brands can charge up to $40 for their products. And although that's money well spent if you are rocking an expensive flagship smartphone, excellent tempered glass protectors can be found for less than $15 online.
