really? i havent had any issues with their screen protector on my note 1. still waiting for my note 2 and note 2 screen protectors to arrive though.
they sucked for my galaxy nexus. clarity sucks and marks everywhere with 6 months use on my nexus.
got the mobc screen protector for my note which is so freak clear ! not sure about scratch resistant yet.
What is the best glass screen protector available right now for the note 4? I wish the spigen gLass nano.slim was available....
spigen gLass nano.slim for sure, however, being in the same boat as most of yall waiting for it to become available I just ordered the iSmooth one as I've used them before and it's pretty good quality compared to the cheapo's out there.
Just to get me by...oh well...
This is what I have; I like tech armor because of their lifetime warranty. I have not used a glass screen protector before but put one of these on my wife's iphone and it seems great...

Ever since when there is Gorilla glass, I never use screen protector anymore.
Why do people need it now?
Sometimes I forget I have my keys, or loose change in my pocket. Don't want t o scratch the screen.

The question is:
Which glass screen protector will have the greatest coverage (closest to the edges) as most, if not all, glass protectors are cut short stopping right before the curves near the edges.
This may be a problem.....having second thoughts about glass screen protectors now...
I think the iloom e might have full coverage. They bragged about being the first to do it on iPhone 6 and that also has the 2.5D glass as well.
i grabbed this one, and it shipped really fast; not sure how it will work, but its full coverage, and under 9 bucks!

I don't use screen protectors either. But ever since I saw a few people here at work with glass screen protectors on their new iphones I've been looking around and they seem pretty awesome. I've seen a few videos on youtube where they smash the screen with a hammer and only the protector broke with the screen left intact.. Also the anti-fingerprint coating is a plus. The cases I buy always have to have a lip but the screen protector is just in case.
This UAG case I have on my note 2 has saved my phone so so many times from being dropped 5ft in the air flat on its face.
The tech armor doesn't come close to covering the whole screen..piss
I have always been partial to invisisheilds. The extreme versions is what I've used on my pass galaxy devices. Then I moved to the glass version of their product on my note 3. It was perfectly clear had a life time warranty. I am looking forward to using the same for my note 4.
I bought the Envelop one. Thing isn't even big enough, just ordered a Spigen one.
I bought two Spigens based on reputation and price: $3.49 each (plus $5.00 shipping) at the early morning (ET) Amazon flash sale. If I had to pay full price, I'd also consider a non-glass solution, Rhino Shield.
Darn, I bought the tech armor glass last week. I guess it'll have to hold me over until better ones come out. I bought it direct from Techarmor.com and used promo code TechArmor2962 for 30% off. Came out to be $9. I bought the Spigen one for the iPhone 6 and it didn't cover the entire front either.
I am still debating on whether to buy screen protectors either glass or not as I haven't used screen protectors in years and everything I have/had was/is fine...
but seeing how the note 4 would be the most expensive mobile/handheld device I've bought and come to think of it probably the most expensive thing I have every bought in my life I might wanna protect it from here and back XD

Rhino Shield's website has a variety of videos persuasively showing the need for some kind of screen protection. As between their product and a good glass screen protector, there seem to be both pluses and minuses, so long as one is willing to accept the fact that, in an acute situation, the glass screen protector will be destroyed.
Any of the glass protectors available leave the space between the home button and the bottom of the phone exposed? I don't think I want a glass protector that encircles the home button because that would mean trouble for the fingerprint scanner as far as I can tell - a sticker for the home button would surely interfere with it.
Thanks!

For what it's worth, I have the Mime Ghost glass protector and it encircles the home button. It doesn't effect the finger print scanner at all. It works great.
With that being said, I can't recommend the Mime. Like other glass protectors thus far the sides are no where close to staying flush against the screen.

I yanked the screen protector off of my note to use this but I'm not really a fan of not using any screen protection at all. Does anyone use a screen protector that doesn't interfere with the Gear VR?

I initially had a glass protector on mine but ripped it off because of bad halo effect around all sides. I went naked but like you I don’t like the idea of an unprotected display. So I went back to a bunch of xtreme guard dry protectors, cut the top and bottoms down to decrease halo’s and the result is acceptable. I actually like the feel of the protector and the S-Pen works fine but there is still a hint of halo on the sides.
The only issue is that even for the smallest speck of dust or lint trapped below the protector it will show up magnified and appear in the same spot. To the naked eye I cannot see it but it is noticeable in the headset.
If Spigen made this case below for the Note 4 I would do without a screen protector. I just don’t care for cases like otterbox defenders because it’s a pain in the butt to rip that case off 2 to 3 times a day.
http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...ote-3/galaxy-note-3-case-slim-armor-view.html
I am using a cheap 6 protectors for $5 from Amazon and it works great... Had to replace the original one I used because with the magnification I could see some dirt inside the screen protector, (wasn't visible thru naked eye) but just replaced the screen protector for another of the 5 left and done... Working perfectly...
I have the clear coat product on mine and i have no problems at all
I use my note 3 screen protector.
I also have a glass protector on my phone including the horrible halo
But i still wonder how much of the edges is shown threw the gear vr.
So tonight i'm gonna test it by putting a piece of tape on the edge of the screen (covering the halo) and look for it threw the gear vr.
Will let you know the outcome...
Note 4 has the brand new and totally unreal Gorilla Glass 4. I wouldn't recommend bothering with a screen protector, it's more like a safety blanket than anything else. Why put highly scratchable plastic or slightly more scratchable extra glass on that beautiful screen when it takes a driven sledgehammer to even scratch the real thing? (eh, can't post link yet because I'm a newbie to XDA. YouTube video code ZabqRB8snK4)

I'm using a supershieldz glass screen protector (0.3mm) and it usually does not interfere with the Gear VR after it starts up.
My only issue is that it sometimes doesn't recognize it as being plugged into the Gear VR. Releasing it and clicking it back in will eventually get it to work, but I wonder if I'm putting stress on the usb thing >_> am I? x_x;; or is this common for people who use a screen protector with the gear vr? I wish they didn't make it such a tight fit for the N4.. ;_;
I have the Bear Motion tempered glass protector on my phone and have had no issues. I'm quite pleased with how well everything works actually.

Hmm.. Maybe mines too thick then :shrugs: Thanks for your input :good:
I was given 2 Sample Otterbox Alpha Glass Screen protectors from Otterbox right before Christmas. I put the screen protector on, I didn't get any halo and I now use my gear with it on. Haven't had any problems with it on at all.

That's weird that some of us would have problems with this protector but not others. I wonder why that is?
I have a friend at work who also has a Note 4 with a screen protector. I might try his Note 4 in the Gear VR later today just for the sake of curiosity.

Ya it helps Otterbox HQ is located less than 70 miles from me. I am in the process of setting up a partnership with Otterbox and my school. To provide discounts to our staff, students and community all while we promote that we use the cases on our Galaxy Note 10.1 (we currently have 800+ Galaxy Note 10.1 deployed to all students and staff K-5) 2 sample screen protectors, 2 sample Note 4 cases and and 3 sample GN 10.1 cases. I have had no halo effect on the Note 4 at all.

If they happen to be using that Moshi Glass (The one that's edge to edge) I would be even more interested :silly:
I just don't like how it feels as though I'm forcing the N4 into the Gear... Without an SP (mine is 0.3 according to SuperShieldz), it clicked in with ease and started up instantly.. but now I will often have to try twice before it starts & I feel like it just barely fits in there now >_>
Hello!
I pre-ordered my Tab S6 and plan to buy a screen protector in advanced. Quick search on Amazon.com showed me a few options which states it is compatible with Tab S6 and Tab S5E. Does anyone know if S6 and S5E has the same front panel? Thanks in advanced for your feedbacks!
The Samsung Store I went to applied a Tab S5e glass screen protector on my Tab S6. Assured me that it would fit, and it did fit quite nicely.

Careful as UltraSonic fingerprint sensor under display may not work with all third party screen protectors

I am sure the fingerprint sensor is optical not ultrasonic.
Quoted:
"The 7,040mAh battery is actually smaller than the 7,300mAh one in the S4, but Samsung still promises 15 hours off battery life, just an hour less than the 16-hour Tab S4.
One thing you won’t find on the Galaxy Tab S6 is a physical fingerprint scanner. Nor does it have an iris scanner like the S4. Instead, Samsung has added an onscreen optical fingerprint scanner at the bottom of the display for unlocking. It’s the first in-display scanner in a tablet, but if it’s anything like the ones in our phones, it won’t be nearly as instant or convenient as Samsung promises."

FP sensor is optical, should work fine as long as protector doesn't distort.
Just picked up a set of cheap glass protectors on amazon. They cover the screen but are really a little small for the tab. Could be 1/8 inch longer and 1/16 in wider for perfect fit. Go on very easy tho and work with FP and s-pen. Makes the keyboard case move aroud even more when closed tho.
Does screen protector for tab s4 fit tab s6 ?

only if it was undersized. The ones I had went edge to edge and are a 1/4 inch too big for the s6
I ordered a three pack on Amazon for cheap, brand is called Sparin. The fingerprint sensor was kind of iffy after applying it, but it did work. I deleted my prints and entered them again, works great now. Fits great, only a very small gap around the entire edge. It's perfect if you have the keyboard cover case, if it were slightly wider the keyboard part would hit the protector and probably cause it to lift off.
That being said, for some reason my tablet is very laggy now. First time I've turned it off since I got it. I've already cleared cache twice but doesn't help. Even removed the protector to see if that was causing the issue since I saw someone else report similar issues after installing one, something to do with Samsung saying in the manual not to cover the sensors by the front camera even with a protector. But the thing is still laggy. Guess I'll install another protector and do a factory reset to see what happens.
EDIT: Did the factory reset with a new protector already installed and the tablet is functioning normally. So if you run into an issue like that after installing a protector it seems a factory reset will fix whatever got messed up. First time I've run into this as I've had protectors cover sensors on other devices before without harm.

I bought a double pack screen protector that said it works for s5e and s6 and they fit on my s5e and Tab s6. I just sold the s5e but I can tell you the screens are the same exact dimension as the Tab s6.
Is TGSP necessary for a tablet? Does extensive s-pen usage scratch the screen?
I use them for my phone because it is in my pocket and moving around a lot.
Does the tab have a factory installed screen protector, kind of like the Sony Tablet Z did a few years or so ago?
I'd like a protector but think a glass one will be too thick with my case, what screen protectors do you lot have on your tablet?
Bought myself a tempered/hardened glass shield, it is 0.33 mm thick. Some standard china product. Usually I’ll buy matte plastic covers for my devices but in this case I wanted the best feeling for the pen. And also best contrast for movies. So the choice fell on this glass shield.
Applying was easy. But I did get some dust just in the middle of the screen! No problem to remove it and peel dust off and put it back. Result was great. It looks very nice.
Pen experience was interesting. The stock tip, light gray, soft one. Worked not great. It sticks. So I changed to the hard black one. Now it feels like walking on ice. Very smooth. Almost too smooth! ? but I think it’s good.
Fingerprint sensor does not work though! It reads but not good and not completely. I tried to add fingerprint again but it can’t be done since it works not properly. Very sad. I liked this feature. So now I have to use some other method to unlock, currently pin code.
Touch works like before. Very good feeling, slides good.
Also added a crystal clear TPU cover on the unit to make it better to grab onto. Now my device is protected and better to handle, very satisfied.
I have been planning to utilize my Tab S6 for drawing, so when I ran across this item on Amazon:
"MOBDIK Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6/Tab S5e Paper Like, 2 Pack Paperlike Galaxy Tab S6/Tab S5e Anti Glare Matte Screen Protector with Easy Installation Kit Paper Texture Galaxy Tab S6 Screen Protector"
I thought I would give it a shot.
It 'fits' the tab S6 screen for the most part (seems a teensy-bit large), and the camera cutout is okay. It feels very different to draw on with the S Pen, just as it is designed to do. The difficulty I am noticing is that my fingerprint (registered prior to installation of the screen protector) no longer 'reads' properly. I then set out to register a 'new' fingerprint (i.e. the same one, only with the protector in place), and it now works only sporadically. This has led to more than one "Please wait 30 seconds before attempting to access the tablet again" sort of message.
Has anyone had experience with this type of screen protector? I am certain it is installed properly and, to be honest the fingerprint issue is really the major issue.
Are there other screen protectors of this type anyone could recommend? Or do they all have this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Angelo D.

If it's a matte o textured Screen Protector then it's probable applying some distortion to the screen causing the optical fingure print read to not work right. Just re-egister and you'll probably be fine.

I had no idea something like this exists! I too will be be drawing and 'painting', so this sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
I had a similar issue after installing a glass screen protector. I re-registered my thumbprint, and it helped some, but what really fixed it for me, is, I registered the same thumb in all three fingerprints. So now it almost always recognized it as one of the three, and unlocks the tablet.
Skinomi has matte protectors. I've used them in the past, don't get the horrible pen drag and indenting like on glossy protectors. But after having to remove one because of damage I decided to go back to glass protectors because of the rainbow sparkle effect the matte protectors cause, very noticable on white. Didn't bother me at first it or when using it, but after seeing the screen bare it was too hard to go back. So my advice, don't remove it if you go this route.
I bought this one:
BERSEM Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6/Tab S5e Paper Like, 2 Pack Paperlike Galaxy Tab S6/Tab S5e Anti Glare Matte Screen Protector With Easy Installation Kit Paper Texture Galaxy Tab S6 Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WLKFKNP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_qXQKDbSEZCVDZ
Works fine with the fingerprint sensor. But, I did have to change to the gray pen tip, as it was wearing down the standard soft white tip too quickly.
