for the front and back of the Note2. Maybe there is a version with some type of grip on the back part? Not sure but just front and back variations would be fine.
I have not tried invisible sheild but can tell you that you need to have a hard plastic protection on the front. I tried Copter first, as it was the only one available, and it sucks for our screen. After a days use it looked like an ice rink. The S-Pen marks it.
Regarding a shield on the back I think it is better to use a cover. The wear I have on my Note, after just over four months, would not be avoided with invisible shield on the back. The wear I have is on the silver frame that goes around the phone and on the end of the S-Pen. This is likely to have been caused while sliding the phone in and out of pockets.
I will be ordering a new flip cover from an online store in the UK that is super thin and that actually covers the back side and frame without adding bulk.
Bestskinsever.com it comes with sides back and front.

I have The invisisheild on mine and on my wife's S3. It has a bit of a "sticky" feel to it at first but after using it for a while it has been nice. If you press too hard with the S pen it will grab a a bit.

Just was wondering what people have been using to protect their N1s now that its been out for a while, and how has it held up. I like the look of the N1 on its own without cases, and was thinking of using the little pouch that came with the box with no other case. Is this a wise move?
I have a case on my phone and an anti-glare screen protector (don't get anti glare it ruins the screen's look and colors) the reason I don't use the pouch is it gets annoying to take the phone out of my pocket with the pouch on then have to remove the phone from the pouch.

The slip case that came with the phone
Seidio Innocase works for me. See the XDA Nexus acessories section...
I've got an Otterbox Commuter series case that I use when I'm on "business" trips or at other times that my phone is likely to be handled roughly. That case is no joke. Actually, I would probably use that case all the time if I didn't use my car dock every time I drive. It takes a bit of time to pull the phone out of the case several times a day. I generally just use the slip case that came with the phone. Does a good job of fighting off scratches, and is still easy to remove so I can install the phone in a dock in just a moment.
Just a screen protector, I have used cases/covers etc, and always end up coming back to just nothing I like the slim feeling
I like the slim look also, thats why i think im going to stick with the little android pouch that came in the box. Just hope it doesnt cause any black marks on the sides or anything. Previous owner of the nexus said he never used a case but made sure nothing else was in his pocket and the phone looks brand new with no marks anywhere.
On one of my other N1s there are some dust particles under the screen on the bottom left. 1 of them is big enough to look like a dead pixel when the screen is on, the rest are not noticeable. Anyone have a easy fix to get rid of the dust? That one particle is starting to annoy me.
Ever since I lost the neoprene case, I have been going commando.

I do similar: when I'm traveling, I put the N1 in my Otterbox Commuter case and enable the PIN the lock. Otherwise, no case and no PIN.
A gel skin for me.
I put a screen protector on it to cut down on sweaty fingerprints during the summer, otherwise nothing. I've had mine since it came out for ATT (march?) and it's still perfect. Just keep keys and change in the other pocket.
i'm using a silicone slip on protector. i'm too scare i'll drop it without it otherwise i would go commando but i have nerve damage in my right hand so my control over parts of my hand are sub par compared to normal people
my ulnar nerve was severed by glass and repaired but i still do not have full function of the minor muscles in my hand and only have partial feeling in the pinky/ring finger and that side of my hand so thicker phones are more comfortable in my hand and the super rubber grip around the whole thing makes it very hard if not impossible for it to slip out of my hand.

I use BestSkinsEver (for a fraction of the cost of an InvisibleShield) protection and a horizontal leather Case Logic pouch... I used to have a silicon protector but it was a pain in the butt because it collects dust and lint like crazy!
I see there are 2 options from zagg for body protection.
Easy and maximum. Any opinions on one vs the other?
I cant find any actual pics online.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using Tapatalk
Easy is just the back panel and screen, maximum also has pieces for the sides/top/bottom.
I installed the full one in my tab and I had to remove it. Hard to install and in my opinion makes the screen sensitivity be a little worse.

Ok I ordered maximum protection.
We will see, I dont like the videos of the iphone install it seemes like you really get the thing soaking wet, but I need somethinf that protects the plastic from getting any more scratches. I have purchased 2 other cases and returned them because I could not fit the tab in my pocket with the case.
Im using a cheap tmobile matte screen protector, and I really dont like it. The high gloss screen by its self is sooooo nice.

I installed the full coverage Invisible Shield on my Tab. The front and back pieces were tough to align. Other than that it works as advertised.
Didn't much like the invisiSHIELD. I got the full coverage too. Unfortunately the back film makes it impossible to easily slip the tab into the HDMI dock. I presume the same for any other dock.
The problem is not the clearance but the tacky/rubbery effect the invisiSHIELD has. You can still dock it but it's a bit of a wiggle which honestly looks like it will soon damage the dock and/or tab.
The front film doesn't interfere but has the same problem as other invisiSHIELD's ie; the "orange peel" effect. Which is to say a slight ripple all over the film. I suspect this can be reduced if extra care is taken during application but for all my trying I couldn't get it to be close to acceptable.
I've used other screen protectors on my desire like the ones included with the covers. IMO if applied correctly you can't even tell they're there. Most of them also have decent scratch protection.
Sadly I don't think you'll get protectors/film for the back that don't interfere with the dock as the tab is curved. The non stretchy/tacky types probably wouldn't conform well to the tabs curved back.
I would love to know any one finds a protector for the back that plays nice with the HDMI dock
I was just reading somewhere that the Tabs have Gorilla Glass. I purchased a Zagg full body skin, but recently purchased the T-Mo leather case for it. I did not do a good job on the Zagg installation, so I was wondering if with the leather case should the glass be ok without a protector?
I guess that depends on your usage of your tab. I was carrying mine in a messenger bag with other loose things inside and my unit still looks brand new. I hate the feel of screen protectors on any device i've tried, i much prefer the naked glass.
That said, i now have my tab in an orange and black Zenus folio case that i got for xmas. This thing is sweet and even though i didnt really worry about it before, i know it'll be fine in my bag.
TL;DR you'll be fine.

The gorillaa glass is supposed to protect it against scratches. I have a screen protector hoping it would also prvent the glass form breaking if ever it falls (read a few posts about people to whom it happened) but as far as scratches are concerned I wouldn't be too worried if I were you
the zagg screen protector was thick, and not to difficult to put on but it didn't feel right. i had also purchased a package from amazon with a rubber case and a stylus that included a screen protector and i put that one on instead. it is more of a harder plastic that was much easier and cleaner to put on.
Gorilla glass or not, trust me it will get scratched with everyday use no matter what you do.
6 weeks of pretty heavy use and nothing close to a scratch. My Droid 1 spent months without a protector before I got a Zagg for the feel and easier wiping / less finger streaks, and despite going into pockets with keys and change and being used all the time, nothing resembling a scratch on the glass. YMMV, but I've never known anyone personally that managed to scratch the GG screen on the Droid.
I just purchased a realook from amazon $16 with shipping I went with it because its the same sp I use on my vibrant its as close as naked glass as you can get with out risking your screen.

Can anyone recommend a high quality screen protector that covers the entire screen?
Spigen's 2-3 mm gap on each side is NOT the same as covering the entire screen.
Can someone comment on Zagg?
I don't think any of them go right to the edge, because the glass is not perfectly flat.
It is slightly rounded off toward the edges.
Full Screen Cover

I heard from a manager of Realook that it will be launching a soft protective film that provides 100% convex screen cover for the SGN II. I will post a review and some pics once I have mine covered. I am told that he will be getting the supply within a few weeks.

Will the S pen leave marks on these soft ones?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I have the zagg "smudge proof" and it doesn't scratch or leave marks with the s pen. Also has absolutely no rubbery feel, orange peel effect or sticky feel. My finger glides better across it then the glass itself and is actually FULL screen. It is a wet apply but I didn't have any issues at all. (Normally I hate zagg for the rubbery orange peal crap but this one is great)
I bought it from best buy just fyi.

is pretty darn close to the edge on mine and fits well around the top speaker and camera hole, although it is just a straight cut out not invididual holes for everything but for $4 shipped seems I have no complaints compared to the zaggHD or skinomi I had on my GS3. Stylus is not leaving imprints but I have only been playing with it for about 7 hours so far

Moshi IVisor Anti fingerprint, Anti Smudge Screen protector is available on the AT&T website. It fit edge to edge on my original Note (of course i was using one made for the OG Note) and im going to order this one for my Note 2. It was thick (not too think) and really resilient. And i really likes the schnazzy black coloring around the buttons Although on the website it says it will ship within 14 business days but is available to order. I dont know if that means it's on backorder or what but, im going to give it a try anyway. Its totally worth the money. I had it on my OG Note for 6 months and after countless use of finger, spen, drops, and rough encounters with sharp edges, it lasted through and through. I even was able to remove it, wash it, and reapply it no problems.

I am currently trying this one now,
http://www.bodyguardz.com/screenguardz-samsung-galaxy-note-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html
it covers the entire screen but jury is still out on how good it is. They say it takes 72 hours to fully cure (gel application) but in all honestly, it feels a bit soft.
Those wet application protectors don't play well with the S-pen.

Hey guys! I've been using my Galaxy s7 edge in a case ever since I got it, but one time I took it off the case and I liked the feeling of it. Is anyone else using the phone caseless and can you tell me how that experience is? I took a day to use it caseless but it was a little uncomfortable in my hand especially when I'm on my bed. Thanks! Also thinking of getting dbrand skin
Before otterbox came out with a case I wanted, I rocked my first edge caseless. I would sit down on my front concrete steps and the phone would slip out of my pocket every time. Had a couple of scrapes. Got abother edge and have thrown a xtreme guard skin on the back for less slippage but decided not to ruin the phone so I got a glass protector and commuter case. I honestly wish someone would come out with a spring clip holster for the edge so I can stop hiding the phone.

Get either a dbrand or tpu front and back protectors. I have the clear front and back protectors and they are great the phone sticks to my hand i have used the phone caseless since the release of the s7 edge and have not dropped it or even had the thought to my self of needing a case for it.
Here's a link to the one I got, UK link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CH5RJT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_apa_8e3IxbA2KK8HP
I couldn't find it on the US amazon website so if you are not in the UK you could try to find it on eBay or just purchase something similar.
When im home i always take off my case. I really feel the premiumness of the glass and metal build of the s7. Its what we pay for, premium build and the thickness is ideal. The only thing i hate about is when im on the bed using the phone it continues to slip from the hand and i accidentally touch the curve edges. I bought a super thin gel case for when i go out. And ordered a skin from slickwrap.
I use it without a case occasionally but it is kind of slippery. I bought a naked skin slickwrap since I was mostly worried about scratches that also added a little more grip

i used the phone with a case for 2 months, now i'm using a dbrand leather skin and a spigen screen protector without a case. waiting for a decent glass screen protector... same issue in bed, feels a little bit uncomfortable.
I quit putting my phones in a case since my Note 3. Right now I have Zagg HD Dry on the front and back (btw this is the most dissatisfied I've ever been with Zagg). My house is almost entirely travertine tile and I have dropped my phone once; it landed right down on the screen with not a crack on it at all (some what of a testament to Zagg I presume). I dislike the feel of the Zagg but it does its job but I really dislike the bulkiness of cases.
At home, case less (only front and back protectors). Outside, cased.

I'm not so bold to go caseless. I really don't have confidence in the illusion of "Gorilla Glass" where you can watch videos on youtube of people dropping mallets and run the s7 with a car all day, but in the real word a 2ft drop could ruin it's pristine look.
While I like the feel of just the phone in my hand, I don't like it's magnetism for dust, prints, and oil smudges. I can't defend the aesthetic choice of making a phone ridiculously shiny and smooth, making it look gorgeous when it's clean, and then look like garbage 5 minutes later after handling it.
But I didn't buy the phone for it's look. I bought it for its processor, particularly gaming-related reasons, in which a case really helps for grip and avoiding those abhorrent navigation buttons. Phone be like "I know you're in an application with immersion mode and you're holding the phone landscape, but your palm lightly brushed against the recent button, so I'm going to go ahead and eject you from your game you're playing. What's that? You were playing a multiplayer match online and this slight inconvenience disqualified you from your match? Sorry bout that, but **** you anyway." It happens alot. When you're gaming in landscape, thats where your thumb and palm rest... on the top and bottom bezels. So you gotta uncomfortably ark your thumb to avoid touching the button, but a case you can play in landscape much more comfortably.
Since i take care of it, i don't use a case, just a full body skin protector.

Installation is a pain in the ass but i won't be worried about scratches anymore now and i love the look of it without a case.

my insurance covers till 1000 euros so im good (paying 3 euros a month)
Currently.. yes.. caseless.
My old S3 was caseless most of its life (with one of those screen protector packages that covered both sides.) Eventually the back one was taken off to make it look less grimey. S5 was also caseless except when I'd go backpacking or off road, in which case I'd slip it into an Incipio Dual Pro. (Glass screen protector was on it too.)
I've tried a few combinations on the S7E but since none of the glass options seem to be any good still, and every film based screen cover i've tried peels once I put it in a case, i've just been running with a Zagg HD screen protector and nothing else.
I love the feel of the phone, and reduced bulk, but I definitely have activities where I'd like to have SOME kinda protection on the phone. (Lack of such is how I managed to get some pretty gnarly scratches on the screen very early on.) Suffice it to say that I stopped caring about small scratches on the back a long time ago.
