Spigen SGP Screen Protector

I've got one of these on my GS3 and I love it. Does anyone have one for their N7 yet? I'm thinking about getting one.

Must've just been released...anxious to hear too. I am annoyed that it seems to only include 1, no chance for a flub install. And I'm not the most dextrous at this stuff...

Ultra Fine or Ultra Crystal?!?!
Im having a hard time to choose one,,,

Been using the ultra crystal on my evo lte and I'm sticking with it..
Been on for a month, not a mark on it, looks just like the glass and nice n slick.
Should get this tomorrow I believe so I'll put up a pic.

Got mine in the mail today. I installed an ultra crystal and it fits well. I've used SGP films before, including ultra oleophobic, optics and fine as well as glass.t, but this was my first crystal. The film fits well, but I feel a little more friction than the glass surface. It also seems slightly less prone to fingerprints than the glass below but requires markedly more effort to remove fingerprints when they're on the film. This is consistent with my experience with oleophobic screen protectors as well.

Ordered the Ultra Crystal a few days ago, but it'll take about a week to get here in the UK. Ill post up some pics when its installed.

I highly recommend the ultra fine. My wife has one on her GSIII. They are vastly improved over their older oleophobic films in terms of clarity and feel good under your finger.

At first it will have a little more resistance then the glass. After a day of use and a couple wipedowns it will be smoother.

Been waiting for their Nexus 7 release. Just ordered the Ultra Fine from their eBay store. I have an Ultra Oleophobic on my Galaxy Nexus and absolutely love it. Best screen protectors out there imo.

Anyone get their yet and have some installation, fit, quality, suggestions, opinions, feedback, etc?

I've got mine, It's awesome. Ultra Crystal, btw.
Fit is very good. Very minimal gap between the protector and the bezel. In fact you can only really tell on one side, and you have to look pretty hard.
Really the only giveaway is the cutout for the camera. if it didnt have that you wouldn't even really be able to tell it's there.
Install went fine. Had one spec of dust. So i pulled the protector back up using a piece of scotch tape, then used the stickers they provided to get it stuck to the sticker instead of the protector. Laid it back down, and perfect.
It has a little more drag then the screen for a day, but at this point, finger glides across like nothing and it isn't to bad to wipe down when its full of prints either.
best thing over the wet installs are the smoothness, looks and feels like glass, no orange peel.

I've always loved the Ultra Crystals. Just be aware, as with most or all screen protectors of this variety, they show smudges and finger oils like mad!

SGP is shipping an Ultra Fine. It is supposed to be a matte film that helps reduce fingerprint smudges. Ill throw some pictures and my thoughts when I get it on.

Can't wait to get mine. Ultra Crystal is what I've been waiting for.

Honestly, I used to buy these because they worked great. Although after one day I went to Frys and got me a 6$(Cellet/Qmadix) screen protector for my phone I don't notice the difference.
So for the N7 I went to amazon(since the device wasn't out at the time and bought) the CrazyOn ones for 5$. Works just like my SGPs maybe even better since after awhile my SGP would get bruised and it won't self heal. Just sharing my experience since SGPs are pretty pricey.

Just ordered the Crystal Clear. I've never used screen protectors before, but thought I'd give it a shot on the Nexus 7 as I've seen reports that it scratches easily. Will probably take forever to get it shipped to Norway as I didn't feel like paying an extra $30 to get it quicker.

I've been a big fan of the SGP/Spigen Steinheil screen protectors for some time, having used InvisibleShield, and many others.
I installed the Crystal Clear version on my N7 yesterday and it is exactly as expected. Precise cut and the same feel as I've experienced with their other protectors. (various iPhone models, Galaxy Tab 7, etc)

I have to say, I am HEAVILY disappointed with this one.
It feels like I am roughing up on a ashy persons' elbow. The screen is so abrasive with it on, as when I immediately set it down on the cleaned screen, dust was already stuck on it. I have done several phones (mine, dad's, employee's at work) and never run into something this bad.

Case with built in Screen Protector?

Just received my S7 Edge today, I've actually bought the Tech21 case for it.
However with the lack of decent screen protectors at the minute is there not a case which takes care of this for you?
I've had a look around and found an X-Doria Defense 360 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Case – Clear , anybody managed to get one or something similar which isn't too bulky?
Thanks

As i thought the Tech21 Evo Frame case edges must be fairly sharp and I can't get the screen protector to stay down especially up near the top. I've tried both the InvisibleShield Original and the Ultimate Shield one (I am in the UK). Has anybody got one to work with this case?
If not has any got any recommendations for cases with a built in screen protector as mentioned above?
Thanks

Right now they are one of the few that actually makes case-friendly screen protectors. They do ship internationally though.

What is the difference between the case friendly and a regular screen protector? They have a few different option on amazon, but don't explain the difference.

By the looks of the post above compared to what I have got it seems to be cut out more at the top and the bottom corners compared to trying to cover the whole screen. The weakest places with my cover on are up near the very top and bottom so this should help it from not lifting when you put the case on but still cover most of the screen.

Both Skinomi and ArmorSuit make "case-friendly" screen protectors for the GS7E.

I've found one...

Click to collapse
it does look cool but its pre order so it not even available
i just bought this one http://tinyurl.com/gkqlckx hope its good as most s7 edge glass protectors are bad even the name brand ones ...

Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.
It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.
The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.
This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.
The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.
The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.
Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.
http://imgur.com/a/osNxm
Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.
I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.
It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.
Update:
Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.
When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.
Just wanted to point this out.

I just swapped out my Note 7 for the s7 edge and purchased the Defender and has crazy problems with the screen registering the touches. I then removed the screen protector now the phone is loose in the case and the bottoms don't align anymore. So I did the OtterBox warranty and when that case comes in I'll get a refund from Sprint for the Defender and go with a different case. Did you remove the screen protector and have the same button issues? Also like the screen was pushing the phone down in the case which aligned the buttons. Really sucks it just doesn't work without the thick crappy built in screen protector.

Any Spigen Ultra Hybrid owners? Fitment issues .

Ordered the clear and rose gold colors for my wife and I. Her rose gold fitment is off on the sides as in it fits loose and not snug. My clear initially fit good on the sides but is becoming more and more loose. Also both cases have a small hole defect on bottom right side. Will be contacting Spigen shortly. Any others with these issues?

I also ordered the neo hybrid cases (non-clear) and they seem solid. I just love a clear case tho to show off the gorgeous device. ?

Got the clear one and it fits nice and tight. Is stopped me feeling like the device will slip out my hand any moment and had even speed me performing "micro presses"on the screen with the side of my hand!

Just got the neo hybrid silver and put it on. For some reason it feels much more beastly compared to the ultra hybrid and I am not feeling it that much. Maybe because of the black edges covering the sides VS the see thru edges of the ultra hybrid hmmm. I like the ultra minus the minor issues but one thing is the ultra doesnt seem to have that much drop protection. I just ordered the neo hybrid Crystal case that may be the winner here.

Yes, however I was able to resolve the issues with a little bit of work. I saw someone point this out and I massaged the edges particularly around the buttons a bit more.
Here's earlier in the day:

And here's tonight after a little bit of work. Overall the case fits snugly and feels sturdy in my hand.
I personally love this series from Spigen. The PC bumper could fit tighter but it's nowhere near enough for me to take it off.

In case anyone didn't realise the difference, Spigen do two ranges of Neo Hybrid. Standard range which has coloured rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper. The second range titled "Crystal" has a transparent rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper.
I bought the latter in Gunmetal purely because I prefer transparent cases that show off the phone below.

Have clear hybrid ultra. Pushes the screen protector off. Anyone know of a good protector that won't push off.

I've had my Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear on my S7 Edge since March 5th and the case fits perfectly. I removed the case yesterday for the first time to install my Skinomi screen protector. I put my Spigen case back on this morning and it fits the same way as when I first got it. I bought my case from Amazon.

I'm hoping a screenknight will work with it.

Are the PC frames interchangable betweem the hybrid/hybrid cystal cases?

I bought the cheap Verizon 3 pack screen protectors and so far the edges have not peeled up yet with multiple removal of all these cases per day.

Mines just bleh. The case looks nice aside from the buttons being way too stiff for comfort. I've only used it a handful of times, so I can't vouch for its durability.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs

Got the neo hybrid crystal and unfortunately fitment was very bad. The side buttons are pretty flush and the sides of the PC bumper are loose and raised. Bummer because the crystal hybrid looks awesome.

Looked up the spigen warrenty they offer free replacement but I need to ship items back. Probably $6 or so to ship it back I paid 15 so wonder if it is even worth the hassle to be honest. For those who have defective Spigen cases, are you going through the trouble of returning for warranty exchange?

I too have the Ultra Hybrid clear and it fits just right, it's tight and it doesn't seem to have gotten loose in the first couple days of use. Buttons work alright, makes the phone look pretty good imo. I have a similar Spigen case on my Nexus 5 (got it from day 1 both phone and case) and to this day I still have it and functional, I hope this Spigen case can live up to the rep and trust my last Spigen case gave me.

i bought the clear ultra hybrid also, I find that because of the solid back the edges aren't rounded and even have a sharp edge. This takes away all the comfort built into the phone. Can't wait to trash it and get something that keeps the phone as comfortable to hold as the phone was designed to be. Also the buttons on the cover have sharp edges. Overall fit seems to be fine.

I contacted Whitestone. They said the domed glass should be released early September so we could have them before the release date (If the release date is actually Sept 15th).
I really like it on my S8+. A little thick, but no lack of responsiveness. Only other complaint is that dusk collects along the edge of it.

I will be waiting a bit before ordering one

Going with this one for now: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Co...83391&sr=8-3&keywords=note+8+screen+protector
I have had pretty good luck with this company for a while.

I'd try out the tempered glass protectors but not for retail price. Hopefully they do better than what is available for the S8+.

I havent been able to find a glass screen protector that would work with a case. The other problem is that these screen protectors only stick to the edges of the phone.... If there was a flat screen option I would have bought that..............

I saw that, they say due in stock in 3 to 5 days. I guess they ship from the UK though, because they said shipping to the US takes 10 to 14 days.
I'm hoping Amazon will get them in at the same time Mobile Fun does. Then I should have it in two days

Does anybody have a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive, but potentially "good" case-friendly glass screen protector?
Obviously, with nobody yet having the devices themselves, it's going to be difficult to assess whether fit, etc, is good, but if anybody has experience of a brand/manufacturer that has done good things on other devices with non-flat screens, then that could be useful to know - I don't plan to use my Note 8 without some protection, and I've always found plastic protectors to be poor with regard to feel and their oleophobic properties, and often attract dust.
I'm thinking I'll get something that will more than likely be cheap, but reasonably performing, until such time as there are reviews of different protector models with experience of being used on the Note 8 before committing myself to a bigger purchase, such as a Zagg or a Whitestone.

I think the only logical screen protector will be those ones that are similar to paint protection film applied on cars. I put one on my wifes S8, didnt look too bad, Used a bit of heat from the hairdryer.

Plastic protectors seem to fall into two categories; stretchy "military grade" stuff which can be a bit "orange peely" and grippy to the touch, and a film which seems to offer less protection, but suffer from finger prints.
Best plastic I've seen is the iCarez on the Note 4, which gave good protection and feel, but was a bit of a dust magnet.

I'll be getting a Skinomi Tech Glass tempered screen protector when they're available. Had them on the Note 2 and Note 5 and on the Tab S 8.4. Haven't disappointed me yet.

Tempered glasses don't fit right on curved edges and you have to touch screen harder for it to respond

Note 8 Screen Protector - IQShield/Skinomi/Spigen

Hey everyone,
I really don't know what happened lately but suddenly choosing a screen protector is harder than choosing a phone
I came across 3 fairly dominant companies and would like a more personal opinion from you.
1) Skinomi TechSkin/MatteSkin
2) IQ Shield Liquid Shield/Matte
3) Spigen Neo Flex
All 3 are considered "case-friendly", although from what I have heard, they all don't go very well with the Otterbox Defender, which is what I'm planning to have, but correct me if you know otherwise.
Questions:
1) Which one would you consider to be the best one? Are you experienced with any of them?
2) Both Skinomi and IQ Shield have a "version 2" screen protector. Does anyone know what is the difference between version 1 and 2?
3) I'm a HUGE fan of Matte screen protectors, I just love the feel and the anti-fingerprint. The only downside to it is a bit of a blurry feel in the screen. If any of you tried their Matte protectors, how bad is that blur?
Thank you,
Omga4000

I wasn't able to catch what you wrote before the edit, but any opinion is good!
The problem with Tempered Glass is that there is only 1 company which makes a "full adhesive" solution, Whitestone.
From what I have read - they are really not that great, and do not support the Otterbox Defender series.
If you know something else, please do share

IQ Shield and Skinomi are better than the Spigen and all three are better than Ringke. Version 1 and 2 differentiate between the cutoff points for case friendliness. Ver 1 of the IQ Shield ends before the screen of the Note 8 ends which means a tiny part of the screen will be unprotected on the sides. Version 2 covers the whole visible screen and works for some cases. Version 1 works with basically all cases, but it gives you slightly less protection due to it being "most case friendly" of all.
You're going to get graininess from the matte protectors, that's just the name of the game.
I have had success with the IQ Shield. No peeling and relatively smooth for a soft TPU.

Perfect, that works for me.
Ordered both the Version 1 and Version 2 of IQ Shield (Matte). I hope that version 2 will fit the Otterbox, though I doubt it.
Thank you

I had the spigen neo flex on my s8 and went with the skinomi techskin on my note 8 based on amazon reviews. Just installed it last night, super easy and haven't noticed any issues. I'm using it with a spigen neo hybrid case and all my edges are flat on the screen. Any streaks or air bubbles left cured over night. Highly recommend.

I can attest to the quality of the Skinomi TechSkin. It's great, and somehow it protected by screen from a good fall on some rocks when I launched my phone in the air getting out of my car as I forgot it was in my lap. Put a bunch of dents in the protector but my screen was fine. May have been a fluke.
Otherwise, it's a wet application and can be a bit aggravating, especially getting the sides the stick, but eventually they do. It looks HORRIBLE for the first 24 hours or so, but all the bubbles dissappear and you can't tell it's even on.
My only complaint is the S Pen gouges it pretty bad, but it's really only noticeable in direct light or with the screen off.
Edit: also I believe I got version 2, it fit with every case I own, and I have quite a few.

Does either of the matte skins for the ringke onyx?
Thank you ?

Best note 8 PET Protector (Easy ULT)
I found this one to be the best combination of coverage, Feel and works with the S Pen without leaving lines or too much drag. They dont do a case friendly version but i cut the sides down 2mm either side and re cut the radius on the corners

The problem with Tempered Glass is that there is only 1 company which makes a "full adhesive" solution, Whitestone.

I trust by now there is another alternative. I'm looking for a full adhesive solution as I don't feel comfortable with a protector that only adheres to the edges leaving an air bubble in the middle of the screen.

Whitestone Fail
I tried the Whitestone and it didn't go too well. Got bubbles under the screen protector on the first and second try. The adhesive ran all over - down into the speaker holes, in the S-Pen slot, earphone jack, charger port......it was a complete disaster.

Me and a couple of friends are using the Samsung official screen protector for S8+ and they're great. They will heal very fast from pen mark

That must mean that it is "soft" and not be able to withstand shatter tests (for accidental drops), nor any direct impacts to the screen by sharp objects.
