Hello people,
i am looking for a glass screenprotector with a colour (yellow?) But I cannot find any. All the items I see on ebay are either sold out or do not have the yellow colour
I would recommend staying away from the coloured glass protectors as they have not been given stellar reviews here on XDA. Most of the time it's the fact that the SPen doesn't work right or fitment, etc.
I think the company is called XGear.
XGear review link here
I can't find the site anymore but you can get them off ebay. There are a few distributors out of China that make what you're looking for but I would avoid them as I haven't read anything good about them.
I have one of those glass ones off of eBay, mine is black. I have a link in the screen protector reviews thread. Ive had it for a week and I have no issues with sensitivity or the s pen. However, the black around the edges is glittery, so its kind of a girly SP. Quality is there though.
One big deal though, the SP goes all the way to the edge. So your cases you may have may not work with it. I'm currently using a casemate tough case, but I can confirm both otter boxes, and the protective cover+ DO work with it. But your basic TPU cases will not.

Where did you get your screen protector from? Could you share a link please?

s pen is generally not affected by screen protectors. bring your s pen close to the screen, press down on the nib and move it around and you can draw without the s pen even touching the screen.
+1 for the 'Bulletproof" (Glasszone) SP
I've had two of these protects for two seperate phones and they are outstanding. I'm not sure where everyone is getting this speculation that glass screen protectors (particular the ones with colour outside the screen) affect the spen or touch sensitivity. It works PERFECTLY FINE. And it is the best likeness you will get to your bare naked screen. I will never go back to a none-glass screen protector. I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-BULLETPR...var&hash=item3cccacdff8&_uhb=1#ht_12820wt_958
Which is essentially the same as this one that was posted earlier except different pricing/seller:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Galaxy-Note-...ar&hash=item23268cf7c6&_uhb=1#ht_10679wt_1163
Go for it, you won't regret it. Just a heads up though the screen protector does go all the way to the edge of your screen, but I haven't had any problems with my Incipio Dual Pro Shine case or my Seido Active. Also, your home button will be recessed since the glass is thicker, but you can easily buy a home button sticker on ebay (which IMO makes your phone look so much more bada**). I've yet to receive my Urban Armour Case so I can't say if it will fit on that. I'm sure it will though.

This I know, I just remember reading a few posts on the forums where people were having issues with some of the first Glass SP's. I'm using the MimeUSA one right now and came from a JLG that died recently. the XGEAR GSP or one of the other ones had some issues like fitment and general SPen problems. I'm sure they are fixed now though. Didn't want another user here to get steered towards a sub par product.
This is the protector I have.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/28103026339...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Best protector I've ever had on a phone. Solid black color with no glitter. Adhesive on the entire protector. Covers entire glass. I have a white note 2 but you can't tell at all.
Anybody know of a seller that has red colored ones in stock? (Reputable seller, of course.) That would make my Note 2 perfect!

Well, the one I got from MIME does not totally cover the screen either, but this one is 1/2 price. In addition, I don't like color edges because I want it 100% clear.
I got one from x gear a few days ago. I think it was called voyager 2. its white. Works great.

The reason why MIME one doesn't cover the whole screen is because they counted in that you will be using a body cover. So they wanted to make sure this wasn't a issue.

It's worse than what you said. It's like "lifting" because the edges (including home button) do not totally stick on the screen and leave air space around the screen protector.
I don't know whether mine is defective or something.

I have a friend who has the mime and he has issues with the defender case peeling up the sides. If its an adhesion problem, let them know. I'd think if you can show them pictures that they'll send you out a new one. Most of the "non zagg" companies try to provide the best customer service possible.
On another note, does the voyager 2 have glitter on the black? I'm seriously considering buying it because I'm tired of the glitter on my eBay one

I would say the type of adhesive MIME uses on the glass could a little more sticker. But then of course that could probably cause some issues. Also I noticed on some areas that the glue doesn't quite go to the edge of the glass.

I've been on the fence about the smart shell 'cause I don't usually like cases with the front flap... but at $15 including next day shipping (Prime rocks), it's worth a try.
Don't bother ordering if you're in the UK:
We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.

I hate how the metal plate could potentially come into contact with the screen. You grab it wrong and could push the flap sliding it over the screen, the metal plate will scratch the gorilla glass.

Yeah there concerns about that. Some use plastidip. I think I'm going to remove the metal plate and wrap the part that would come in contact with the screen with electric tape

Or a screen protector would help too right? I'm gonna have to find my can of plastidip! If there's real friction though the dip will probably just peel right off and scratch the glass

I mentioned in another thread that the plastidip company now makes a primer that supposedly makes it stick better to metal. You might try that if you are worried about peeling...

I opted for the genuine leather version of the Moko slim fit multi angle case. Absolutely perfect! Very nicely finished, fits beautifully, looks great. Opening for Pogo charger (stitched all around too). A bit more than the PU leather version, but it is very nice for $21.

This can't be true. It would depend on so many factors such as the specific metal, the shape of the metal where it comes into contact (a point, an edge, a curve..), the force of contact, etc. Gorilla glass isn't some mystical impervious material.

Just received my ultra-slim Moko. For $6 it's nice but I really wouldn't recommend it for a few reasons.
1) As mentioned before, the metal piece on the cover could potentially come in contact with your screen and scratch it.
2) When closed, the cover slides around. This is very obnoxious when you are walking around with your tablet in one hand. Basically, if you hold it vertical, the cover slides up while the tablet slides down from its weight. Over time this is just going to get worse as the cover loosens.
3) I'm having lots of trouble making it stand up in both positions and stay put. The triangle fold does not hold, I think due to poor choice of the size of each edge of the triangle. Maybe with time it will get better but it hasn't so far.
Overall this thing is just flimsy, although it does look and feel nice to the touch.
I am really hoping I received a defective batch! I see the ISMOOTH has some good reviews and I have no idea why? I even went back to the box and made sure my ismooth was made for the note 2 cause I thought it was an error and meant for the note 1. Attached are some pics. As you can see it does not come close to edge to edge coverage. Or top to bottom for that matter...
There supposed to be like that cause of the curved screen on the note.

It looks like ir protects the screen just not the entire front. The reason its uneven on home button is from lookin at the 2 pics that shiw it on each side of screen. The protector was applied uneven. Its to far to the left

You're joking, right? Only a very select few screen protectors cover to the edge of the Note II. This is because of the curved glass on the Note II; the edges of the screen protector would never adhere to the curved part, and you'd be replacing them in a matter of days because they'd peeled up.
Please read at the least pinned screen protector review thread, which mentions this several times, before slamming a screen protector with a ridiculous complaint based upon your not reading.
*Edit: And based upon your asymmetric installation.

I am not joking at all! My ismooth is nothing like the one in the installation video. Mine did not have the greenish cover to make sure it alligns properly. Yes, my ismooth is installed a little to the left but that still doesnt come near the left edge. I am coming from a tech armor which covers the whole screen
The ones with the greenish cover are the bad ones. You want the newer ones with no green cover.

My ismooth was a top install and not a bottom istall like the video. If it was too far to the left then this top would look horrible!

Then why post if you deny the replies. The curved glad part will make your screen protector peel if it stretches across the whole glass. Not to mention if you use a case those will peel it off if you use a good case.

And those are all non traditional (peel and stick) installs. Plus, the s-pen literally annihilates those. I got a Zagg HD when I got this phone. It was so marred in 3 weeks that the Zagg kiosk that I bought it from let me flat out return it!
Sure, these don't go to the edge of the screen.If you want one that does, search for the Voyager 2 by xgear. After shipping its around $40 but it looks awesome. I have a Chinese knockoff that works great too, but the black has glitter which is very annoying so it is not on my phone right now.
Out of dry, traditional installs, iSmooth is the best bang for your buck. Quality of SGP ultra crystal (or at least the next best thing to it), the rainbow effect isn't too bad on it since its a horizontal rainbow throughout, and it has a lifetime warranty even if you screw up the install.

You see, the Note 2 (and*Galaxy S3) phones are very difficult when it comes to Screen Protectors. As you probably know, the very edges of these Samsung phones are curved and due to the curve,*it creates issues with "lifting." *Not on all the phones, just a small percentage of them (~%5).
I am looking forward to receiving these that cover the whole screen.

Yeah, I had preordered a Diztronic case but I'm reconsidering and thinking of purchasing this one. I like the looks of this one better, and--correct me if I'm wrong--I think this case will offer a better grip (I'm mainly after grip and small size).

I couldn't agree more. Grip is awesome! I paid for overnight shipping for this sucker as I hated the back so bad.
My only concern is that I want a tempered glass cover from iloome and while the case is BARELY gripping the sides, I see it interfering with the protector by the smallest of margins so that it won't fit properly. I put a ZAGG on it for peace of mind right now until the iloome ships, so I'll guess we'll see.

i wanted to see pictures of how the top and bottom look on the phone. is there full protection? many of these cases cut off over the corners and leave the top and bottoms exposed. i like a full frame case but all the pictures seem to show only a front and back view including the ones on their website

WHy would you need full framing? It covers the corners and if you were to drop parallel with a side, it would hit the case edges...
Also because this phone has almost no bezel some cases will be hard to use with a screen protector.

Now that my S7 Edge has shipped I'm in a rush to get a case and screen protector. I've never had an Edge device before and it seems like most people hate film type protectors, but that's all that's really out right now. What's the best one to get until something better comes along?
Hands down its the SuperShieldz one. I've tried Skinomi, Ilumeshield, and Spigen but they can't compare to the SuperShieldz. People have been asking me for pictures so I'll post them up this afternoon when I get home fromnrh gym. I did a quick review on Amazon which I'll link below, but it's great!

Hands down its the SuperShieldz one. I've tried Skinomi, Ilumeshield, and Spigen but they can't compare to the SuperShieldz. People have been asking me for pictures so I'll post them up this afternoon when I get home fromnrh gym. I did a quick review on Amazon which I'll link below, but it's great! I bought another set as a backup for later just in case.
Here's the short review I wrote: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3TAT5LAMC22DY/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Fitment doesn't look that great in your pictures, what's with the 1/8" gap at the bottom corners? Or is that a common issue with these edge devices?
I found this one with good reviews but it looks like they're mostly from tablets.

You have to remember how they need to cut these in order to have them wrap correctly. It's not possible to have one that will cover anything without some compromises. I did take more pictures which I need to upload (I'll post them shortly). The screen protector does cover 99% of the screen unlike my Spigen which only covered ~70-80%

Fair enough. Maybe I'll buy these and the ones I linked to since they're both cheap and see which is better.
Great, no one has anything in stock and my phone is going to be here in a couple days. Not even the case I want is in stock, have to get two so one comes in time.

I'm glad I bought a bunch of different ones when I did because no they're flying off the shelves. My 2nd order of the SuperShieldz that I bought as a backup won't ship until today despite ordering it last week.

Yea, and imagine living in Canada, where shipping is expensive/long from the US and there's very limited choices in Canada ?
I should have ordered last week. Figured I'd have more time with Verizon lagging behind on the pre-orders.
I just ordered some XtremeGuard screen protectors because of the huge sale, no clue when they'll get here. There's nothing on Amazon with Prime that I can order, guess I'll have to keep the plastic on it that it comes with until I get the protectors.

You can ignore my slightly misaligned install. I was in a hurry (which is usually a bad idea when installing screen protectors), so it would be perfect if I installed my second one that came in the pack.
Here are some pictures:
Whatever yall do don't buy this crap.

I bought it from tmobile store cause it was all they had but it gets bubbles at top no matter what due to the installation process. Waste of $25 and neither tmo or the maker would give me refund

Can you use a case with the screen proctector? Does it go all the way to the edge?
Looks better than the Spigen!

Well considering I'm using my Tech 21 case in that picture yes you can. I've tested it with all of my cases (see my OP in this forum) it works fine. You do have to be care with some cases and lift their 'lip' so it sits on top of the protector when inserting your phone so it won't pull it up, but once you do that there are 0 issues. That's the +/- of having a E2E screen protector for the top/bottom and sides. I'll post more of my case reviews this evening so you can see how it fits in my 7-8 cases

All,
I got the supershieldz as well. Here are a few of my observations. The film has two protective coats that have to be removed. One is the sticky side that gets applied to the screen. The second is a pin film that is on the touch side. This one was a pain to remove. To get a good fit. I removed the side and place it on the phone then took the stick tabs and aligned the bottom and top to the phone. once it was aligned I worked from a corner to pull off the pink film. its a royal pain. the paper tab comes off at times but I made it work. Once the pink film is removed I used a card to smooth out the film or any bubbles. This film is very thin and feels sticky at first but this will go away after a few minutes of use. The film will mark up easily if you have long nails. Also, it does tend to bunch up if you put on a case. This was the case with the otterbox commuter, spigen tough, vrs case and UAG. But I was able to adjust them easily. The good news is that I have been using the phone for over a week now and no lifting. I had the s6 and used spigen and finally gave up. But this one is working well.

I agree, the install is a huge PITA, but the end result is well worth it. As I mentioned cases do work you just have to ensure their lip doesn't bunch it up when putting the phone in. If you read the directions you would've seen where it said gently press out the big bubbles with the included card wrapped in a microfiber cloth. I did this and didn't have any issues getting it to install correctly despite my slight misalignment.

Thanks for the tips guys, planning on getting a screen protector as well as the UAG case, it seems like they are due to ship mid-march.

I can confirm this. I bought this from tmobile a few days ago. I have bubbles at the top and the sides are already peeling up around the curved edges.
