Griffin Survivor case

Im getting tired of taking my otterbox defender apart every week or so to clean the dust out from the screen. Is the griffin survivor case any better? Ive heard its good, from some ios friends, also does amazon sell it? Thanks.

Griffin doesn't make a Survivor case for the Note 2. There's a chinese knock off that many of us have. I'm not in a position to compare it to an Otterbox. You may want to ask on Vectron's review thread.

As drnihili-zztop (man, that is one cool beard!!!) correctly pointed out, some Chinese manufacturer took S3 design of Survivor and scaled it up for Note 2. The fitment is OK, but the screen quality of the plastic screen protector is cheap. My kids had Survivor for their iPod touch, and I can tell you with certainty it's not the same. It is usable though, and has a great drop protection.
Now, here is a bigger question, why do you even need to use built-in screen protector on your Defender? Otterbox screwed up the design of this case for Note 2. Every comment you read in this forum or any other forum or even Amazon reviews talk about the same thing - awful screen protector. It's not flush with a display, but rather slightly concave up. When you push on the screen protector it sucks in the air/dust from the opening of home button. That's how you get specks of dust and moisture in there. I would say most everybody remove that plastic protector as soon as they get the case (use hair dryer to soften the glue and push it out). Get yourself a decent screen protector like iSmooth or Spigen, and you are in business!

I love the otterbox itself but the screen protector is horrible and yes i have thought about taking it out and getting a zagg but i've read that if i use the s pen it can leave the some indents, then i heard about tempered glass screen protectors. I was very interested in the MIME glass screen protector, but i just don't want to spend the $40 on it if it wouldn't work good with the otterbox defender. Also i heard somewhere elses(i think android central forums) that otterbox was going to revise the defender, i've been waiting on it but i'm tired of waiting. If you can suggest a decent tempered glass screen protector that works with the defender i might give it a chance, or if griffen comes out with a survivor for the Note 2.

If you read MIME review on this forum, everybody had an issue of edges not sticking. Even so it's discounted at 1/2 off, I don't think anybody paid $40, but rather $20(?) I wouldn't recommend it. I'm using VITREO from Seidio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210365 and absolutely love it. Yes, its expensive and it's narrow so you don't have any non-sticking edge issues (N2 glass is curved toward the edge), but it also bullet proof. With Defender, I was a little anxious when I placed my Note 2 in it when I had plastic screen protector in, but once plastic screen protector was removed - it was perfect. Keep in mind, I wasn't using real Defender, but rather HK knock off which is 1:1 copy of it (in both quality, fitment, and dimensions). I had original Defender 3-4 months ago, and returned it back after a few days of use; couldn't stand that awful screen protector and the whole bulk wasn't justifiable. Been rocking UAG with VITREO until now when I just switched to ZL 9300 mAh battery and ZL tpu case. But still going back and forth between UAG and stock battery, and ZL setup.

Yep. The one real complaint I have about the fake Survivor is that the screen protector marks up pretty easily. They are still decent cases though and can be had pretty cheap.

Anyone a clue which is the best screen-protection for HTC? And where to get it?

It depends on what you want for your screen protector.
There are many options, from your basic cheap clear screen protector to your expensive InvisibleShields. There isn't a "best" option, but it just depends on how you want the screen to feel.
- Spigen makes an excellent anti-fingerprint protector. It's a matte finish to cut down on fingerprints and smudges but also doesn't terribly distort your screen like a cheaper matte protector will.
- XtremeGuard is a nice alternative to InvisibleShield for full body protection. Although it's made of a tough material, you may not like the added friction to the screen. It is a wet-apply protector which can cause issues if you are not comfortable with putting on screen protectors.
- Tempered glass protectors are nice to keep a smooth feel on the screen, and resist scratches a bit better than a typical clear plastic protector will. Getting one with tapered or rounded edges is suggested as it will help resist cracks/chips over time, but of course it can still be damaged.
- Then you have basic clear screen protectors. You can go cheap, with random brands on Amazon, or you can go slightly more expensive like a Spigen Ultra Crystal. The cheap ones are generally fine, but can scratch a little easier and sometimes give off a "rainbow" reflection when you view it from the side with the screen off.
If you're in the US, you can purchase any of them off Amazon.

[Review] Zerolemon Ultra Glass Armor 9H | Post All Reviews Here!!!

I have been asked by @ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL to start a thread for the purpose of posting reviews of their Ultra Glass Armor 9H tempered glass screen protectors for the HTC M8.
***DO NOT START A SEPARATE THREAD FOR THE PURPOSE OF WRITING YOUR OWN REVIEW. ALL REVIEWS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD GO IN THIS THREAD ONLY. ALL OTHERS WILL BE REMOVED BY THE MODERATION TEAM***

My review is as follows:
I received my tempered glass screen protector in the mail the other day. Everything was neatly packaged and included everything to install the screen protector. The wording of the instructions on how to install the screen protector was a bit confusing, but I've used a screen protector before so I knew how to install one. The only real issue I had was getting the protective film off the sticky side of the screen protector itself. The pull tab-style sticker came right off but the film itself remained, so I had to use a fingernail to pick at the edge of the film and then finally remove it. The screen protector went right on and looks great. I've only noticed a couple of issues, those being the screen protector seems to have a bit more glare than the actual screen of the phone, but I didn't find this to be an issue when viewing the phone in various lighting conditions. Also, it does seem to pick up dust fairly quickly. Overall, for the price you'd pay at an online store like Amazon, I don't think you'll find a better value tempered glass screen protector. Pick one up for yourself and see:good:
Amazon currently has them for $8.99.

Thanks for your feedback. The pull tab-style sticker should be able to stick on the film so the film will be easy to peel off. Maybe you are just unlucky, sorry. Below is the revised version of instruction which will be applied to the new batch.
1.Please wipe off all fingerprints and oil stains from the screen with the included alcohol swab. Wipe the screen with the included microfiber cloth for drying.
2.Place phone on flat surface with screen facing up. Peel the first plastic adhesive off and align the screen protector edge with the phone's edge.
3.Gently place the screen protector on the screen. The screen protector will automatically adhere to the surface of the screen.
4. If there are bubbles between the screen protector and the phone, please use a flat card to gently push out the bubbles to the edge of the phone.
5. Installation complete.

Those instructions are much better:good:

OMG INCREDIBLE!! Of all the shields I have had, this is surely my last from anyone. I am sticking to Zerolemon from now on. My other shields was fingerprint magnets, not this one. Easy to put on, and thinner than any other shield. Here is my 5 Star review from Amazon:
""I got the shield today, it was a snap to install. Thinner than my Chinese shield, and surprisingly almost fingerprint proof. The one thing I hated about my last shield was it attracted all my fingerprints. I always was cleaning it. But this one doesn't seem to even know my fingers even touched it. I can see the prints after heavy use, but so easy to clean, and barely visible, it is remarkable. This has got to be the best shield out there. And I have had one on all my phones. But now, this is probably going to be the only one I will have in the future. It's like touching the glass without any shield. Only con is that it seems to attract dust. But given that it is so invisible to the sight and touch a little POOF and no dust at all, I think it is static, because it is new, and will soon wear off. But if you need a shield, heck, YOU DO NEED A SHIELD!! This is the one to buy...""
This has attracted my attention. It is the best one I have ever had on any of my phones. (Now if you can make those camera lens covers from this material, I would be extremely happy) :laugh:

I received mine on Saturday. Beautiful packaging. The instructions where a bit on the small side, but its pretty self explanatory. The application went well enough, but keep in mind that this glass seems to be cut exactly the same size as the glass on the M8. So when you start to apply it make sure it starts exactly where it does on the phone. If you are even a little pulled away from the start of the glass on the opposite side of the glass it wont stick down because it will be slightly on the speaker grill. After getting that straightened out it looks incredible. For the price you cant go wrong.

Anyone who knows how to take care of a phone knows you need a screen protector.
Scratch proof glass just isn't after enough time has passed. But there's a reason manufacturers stick with glass for screens. It's tactile, your finger glides over it with silky precision. It gives the phone a solid and dependable touch to it. A solid reassurance. Most importantly, glass gives the best transmission of light from the underlying pixels so it makes the display look vibrant.
Then you have to slap some cheap plastic on top of it, This was far easy to apply to the phone. The glass and the phone join together like magic, after you have aliened it over the phone the two bond together, the Best part is there isn't a bubble beneath it, which I can't stand in plastic screens.
This is a revolutionary product. I love it. There are only a few cons to having this is an ever so slight increase in thickness in your phone. Plastic screen protectors are negligibly thick but glass has to be a bit thicker to be effective. Personally, I like the added thickness, modern phones are, to me, increasingly flimsy feeling. This gives it a bit more substance (My case still fits without issues as-well). I have also found 2 out of 4 corners are a little sharp and could of been slightly more rounded.
Overall this is one amazing screen protector and I look forward to showing it off on my phone.

How many taken part in this thread actually paid for theirs? Given that ZeroLemon were offering free units in return for reviews. It's hard to determine genuine positives from this thread. Has anyone compared this product to the others such as Nillkin (arguably best tempered screen protector), Mime, Zagg etc.

I have had the Nilkin on my M8, saved the screen when it fell on the floor when I was in the doctors office. But it was thicker, and always showed my fingerprints. This screen (Even though I didn't pay for it) is the best I have had. I have had tempered glass on my screens for a couple years, almost always the cheap ones from China that takes 6+ weeks to get here. This one is local and cost is similar, would I have bought it? I don't normally shop Amazon, so unless it was on eBay I probably would not, unless I seen it on someones device, or at least heard good news about it. I didn't even know that the glass resist fingerprints. Would I but another? Yep... I have already showed it to a friend, and she is going to get her M8 this weekend and order this shield. Because it is a lot better than the one on her M7. So even though you might think that the review is biased because it was free, it isn't. It is a good shield and not bad on the price either.... :good:

I got mine in the mail today.
1. It is awesome. It covers the entire glass portion of the front of the phone. Not just the active LCD area.
2. It is extremely smooth. This makes it feel as if it is not there.
3. It's oleophobic coating is superb. Haven't seen a single finger print.
4. It is extremely clear, I cannot tell it is there.
5. I have it paired with the Otter box symmetry case and feel as if my phone has the ultimate protection.
6. The only draw back was during the installation I kept getting a raised corner. This was because Tue glass is cut to very small tolerances and matches the M8's screen perfectly. I had to slow down and focus on what I was doing.
All in all I am pretty happy with it and will be buying a second one to keep as a backup. I see this protector lasting the life of phone and keeping the resale value in since the screen will be in perfect condition whenever it is peeled off.

I understand your concern. We are sending free samples in exchange for an honest review. We do not send samples to everyone, only legit users. You guys are welcome to compare our screen protector with other brands.

I have received my tempered glass protector from Zerolemon. Before I start I'll say that it was sent for review on condition that I review it. They told me to make an honest review, and never set any guidelines which leaves me to do and say whatever I'd like. I am in no way obliged to give a good review as they have nothing on me and have not told me otherwise.
The protector arrived in excellent, eco-friendly packaging that was simplistic yet effective in explaining what the product is and how to install it. Right away I could tell that the glass protector was of good quality and not simply a Chinese knock-off. I have used dozens of protectors including Spigen's $40.00 Nano slim, and this is comparable, if not better given the price.
The protector installed without a hassle, and aligned IDENTICALLY with my screen. The cut-out is perfect unlike other protectors, and offers maximum coverage with no exposed areas of the screen.
Included in the package are an anti-bacterial wipe and cloth to make sure you screen is very clean before installation. Once done, you take off the back film from the glass protector and simply let it adhere to the screen of your M8.
Again, this review was is in no way dictated by ZeroLemon, and I could of written anything I wanted. In fact, I already had another tempered glass protector installed so I didn't even need a 'free sample'.
I give this product a 10/10 simply because it's of top quality, and for the price, you cannot beat it.

I have recently received an ultra glass 9h tempered glass screen protector from zerolemon about a week ago. Upon first glance the packaging is well put together with the screen protector placed securely inside. The packaging comes with the tempered glass protector, a microfiber cloth, and an alcohol wipe to clean the screen off. The directions can be kind of confusing if you have never applied a screen protector or a glass screen protector before as they seem to be worded weird. If you apply to protector properly it looks extremely nice and feels as if there were no protector on it. The one thing I do not like about this glass protector is that it is a little on the thick side. With a case on the phone thou you don’t really notice how thick it is, but I do not use a case so I can feel the thickness of the protector. Without the case I need to be more careful when I put it and pull it out of my pocket to make sure that it doesn’t peel off or catch on the inside of my pocket. I have also noticed that this protector can have a little bit of glare in direct sunlight or light unlike the screen with no protector on it but it’s not that bad. All in all this a fantastic screen protector and for $8.99 you can’t really beat the price for any other screen protector, especially a glass protector. I would recommend this protector to anyone who wants to get a glass protector and give it shot!

What is the thickness of the protector?

Real World Use - PASS!!!
Ok, i was normally running naked since i've had my m8 and got a .10 cent chine film screen protector for a while but it fell off on one of my trips to the beach. I contacted zerolemon to inquire upon the free product.
Fast forward a week and i got it 3 days ago. Putting it on was a snap, its very precise with its cuts. My crappy chinese case was very close to not fitting but it did with a little adjusting.
Now yesterday at santa cruz my girlfriend put our phones on trunk lid area while we grabbed our stuff. She grabbed her phone and we started closing the lid and foolishly we slammed the trunk 2 times. i eventually notices my phone and immediately freaked out, but fortunately the only cracks was 3 in diff areas, and my actual screen was unharmed. If it wasn't for this product i would have a cracked phone right now and im still rocking my slightly cracked glass armor until i order a new one soon.
I'm giving this screen 10/10 across everything just for saving my ass. I highly reccomend this screen

Now that is a test I don't want to try. LoL

Just place cards, not really phony. If you wanted to test it out free, then you need to review it, good or bad. But so we was ask to post a temp review on there till we get the screen and check it out. Once it is checked out, the tester can go back and edit his review to show what he/she feels about it.

Unbelievable. A "temp" review? Why not let people review the item after they actually use it, instead of telling people to leave 5 star reviews for an item they don't even have yet?

My review of the ZeroLemon 9H Premium tempered glass screen protector

I wanted to let everyone know that I was given a ZeroLemon Ultra Glass Armor - 9H Premium tempered glass screen protector for my HTC one M8 in exchange for this review.
Now with that out of the way on with the review! The packaging at first glance was nice. It was not flashy with lots of colorful pictures. It has a plan covering almost like a paper bag but slightly lighter. The ZeroLemon logo is at the top, and has icons on the front displaying the features of the 9H. The inside of the packaging was professionally done. The 9H was on one side, and an alcohol swab and microfiber cloth were in a pocket on the other. I get the impression that the packaging was designed so that it can take impacts, and the 9H would still be protected. I removed all of the contents out of the packaging, and here is where I found an issue. The instructions for installation were in boxes behind the 9H. They have a small picture with text underneath. Each box is assumed to be a step in the installation process. I read through each step, and I was not sure what I was reading. It was like it was written in another language, and then translated to English. Just to give it the benefit of the doubt, I re-read all of the instructions, and came to the same conclusion; however, I have install dozens of screen protectors, so I figured how hard could it be.
I have a process for installing screen protectors using a hot shower to remove dust particles from the air in the bathroom. Generally, this method has served me well for getting a dust free lint free application of a screen protector, so I decided to use this method for applying the 9H. I went through my normal process, and when it was time to put the 9H on, I was very surprise how easy it was to line up and get it perfect on my screen. Because it is tempered glass, I could hold it from one end, and move it any way I wanted to. I also did not get any finger prints on the bottom of the 9H because it was rigid. After it was on and centered, I had decided that was the easiest screen protector I had “EVER” installed. At first there were a lot of small air bubbles under the screen. I kept working on pushing them out. I was a little worried because I could not get them all out. By the next day I still had some, but eventually I worked them all out. After inspecting the 9H on my M8, I could not see any imperfections. I thought it was a clean install; however, I found a small piece of lint close to the bottom of the screen. One thing about the 9H is that even with the small piece of lint, there was no air bubble around it. I don’t think I would have found it if I had not been specifically looking for it. I could not find any other imperfections in the installation.
The 9H is thicker than the last screen protector that I had, so you will need to be aware about this. I use a Seidio Surface case, and it was a little loose with my old screen protector; however, it is now a snug fit. I actually like the Seidio Surface case more now with the 9H on as I thought it should have been a better fit than it did. The surface of the 9H is very smooth, and I can’t tell I have a protector on it. It is not holding finger prints like my last protector did, and I have to admit that ZeroLemon’s claim of turning your screen into an “Anti-fingerprint ‘Oleophobic’ display” is true! The 9H does resist oil and finger prints like no other protector I have ever used. One thing to note is that the 9H is very reflective. You will get reflections off of any light source, but the screen clarity is extremely good.
My overall assessment of the 9H is excellent. The packaging could use a little work as far as the instructions go, but the rest of the packaging was very professional if a little plain. Installation was a snap that easily beat all other screen protectors on ease of installation that I have ever used. The 9H is a little thicker which could impact what case you are using so be mindful about that. Screen clarity is fantastic and the ability to resist oil and finger prints leaves the screen clean most of the time (ie no more wiping your phone on your shirt of pants..yuck). The 9H is not an anti-glare protector, so you will have to deal with the reflective surface; however, I think this is minor compared with the benefits the 9H brings to the table.
Well, that is my review; I hope it has been helpful. I plan on using the 9H as my daily driver. I normally use an anti-glare protector, but I am so impressed with the clarity, oil & finger print resistance that I am going to keep using it. Oh, other reasons to keep using it would be the protection from impacts, drops, and scratches; however, I have not encountered any of those since using this screen protector, so I did not include it in my review. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Here is my review of It
Here is what stood out to me on this overall exceptional screen protector.
1. The Fit- This is an exact fit of the screen on some glass protectors like my Mime glass there is a 0.5 mm or so border that makes installation easier, there is no such boarder on this protector which I think is good overall because it makes the phone look and feel better due to the screen protector covering 100% of the glass.
2. Installation- Even with the exact fitting glass the install is easy like most glass protectors. The way I install screen protectors is the hinge method, which makes lining up the glass go perfect every time, just look up "glass screen protector hinge method" on YouTube and you will see what I am talking about. After I got the screen protector on I just pressed out some tiny bubbles around the edges and I was good to go. Also the box comes with everything that you would need to get your screen clean.
3. Using my phone- Because this is a glass screen protector there is nothing to talk about clarity wise as it is perfectly clear. For fingerprints I would say that it is better than the naked screen but will still get fingerprints, they are very easy to wipe off and it is nowhere near the fingerprint magnet that some plastic screen protectors can be.
ZeroLemon is now my favorite brand of screen protectors I can't believe that I spent so much on Mime screen protectors when these are such a better value and quality.

Free for reviews aside-is it actually a good screen protector? My Nilikin has a chip on the corner and is starting to get cracked, so I like the idea of a cheap one with a lifetime warranty.

ok, so you think just because we got a free screen protector we are simply saying it is good as "Payment?" I like how people review it and say it is good and then get asked if it is really good... Sorry, just kinda annoys me.
That aside, I actualy like this one more than my Nilikin. with in a couple weeks my nilikin had a couple small chips. so far this one is chip free, but It is only a few days on my device... Time will tell to this. The nilikin was just a touch smaller than the glass screen, just a small border mainly top and bottom, but the zero lemon fits PERFECTLY. I could see this being an issue if you are not good at putting on a screen protector, but for most of us slightly anal retentive people it is freaking great.

I have had mine on a little longer, and I really like it. My Nilikin was a fingerprint magnet, this one resist them. I will admit my Nilikin did protect my screen when I dropped it, it took the crack and not my screen. Will this one do the same? I believe it will, but I won't purposely drop my phone to find out. And it fits perfect, edge to edge. Where the Nilikin was a little smaller. I am ordering one for my wife's M8. Less expensive and lifetime warranty.. How can you beat that?

My review is genuine. Just because we got a $9 screen protector for free does not mean we owe them anything other than the review we promised we would give them. If the 9H was worthless, I would have said that, but that is not the case. I spent my time to change a perfectly good screen protector, make notes and write the above review. I didn't do it to get a free screen protector that would only cost me $9. My time is worth more than that. I did it because I thought it would be a cool thing to do. If people don't believe my review is real, that is their problem as I reviewed it as I saw it. The 9H is really as good as I reviewed. :good:

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho

Any you can recommend about $20 and under?

First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.

I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.

I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

I've never seen this warning before on anything from Amazon.

Somebody got a knock off, I read. The screen protector he got was plastic instead of glass.

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.

I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..

I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.

I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

yes

I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.
