Hi,
As I changed my Gel case for a thin TPU one, I now have a small problem
I'm using a budget screen cover and all around it, there is a 3 to 5 mm zone where there isn't any protection.
I didn't notice it earlyer as the case was a lot more thick...
Could you please advise me a clear screen cover which is closer to the border of the phone ?

Funny just received my skinomi for note 2, it covers the entire screen. S-pen works, don't press to hard to void the squeak.
I have used skinomi for every gadget I own, but I since I have a cruzerlite case I need a screen protector that does not cover the entire screen.

You may want to check out the Just Like Glass. I haven't seen or used it myself, but the CEO does come on here and discusses the product.
From what he says, it's designed to leave 1/16" around the phone so people can use it with cases, such as a TPU, and not have the case push on the edge of the protector, per user requests. Sometimes, the cases push the protector up, which can lead the dirt getting under it or peeling.
I'm going to order one when they become available again, which is expect next week. I'm coming from using Zagg protectors the last four or so years.
That sounds great! Exactly what I need. I'm gonna have a look at it

Most screen protector manufacturers don't go all the way to the edge because of the rounded glass samsung used. I can attest to this, you don't want a protector up that far on the glass, because it will peel after a few times going in and out of your pocket. I only had this happen with wet application protectors (Ghost Armor and Zagg HD are two I used, both failed). I switched to SGP's Ultra Crystal, which feels like the original glass and doesn't reach the rounded part.
This is driving me mad. I ordered some 'military grade' screen protector off ebay. Which you apply using liquid fairy water. And to be honest it is a really good protector apart from leaving indentations when you use the s-pen but thats only noticeable in the right light. This covers the whole face. To the edges.
The problem now is ive ordered 2 cases already which are just a **** build. Some tpu silicone one and a leather flip off ebay. Both dont fit the phone properly. Cant even charge with it on and plus it starts to lift the screen cpver off!
Now i have to order a new screen protector cause its damaged the edges. My question is what case can i get that fits perfectly and is actually a case that cpvers the edges...
Please help its driving me insane searching for cases all day...

Is complete garbage with the note 2. The problem with most of these wet applications is they cut the protector to go out to the curved portion of the note 2 glass. Zagg HD didn't change their cut, it was an attempt to get a less orange peel'ish type of protector. Looks great, then the S-Pen indents the protector itself, and the edges end up peeling from cases and pockets.
Dry application protectors that are as hard as you can find (3-4H rating) have been proven to be the best overall protector for the Note 2.
I have personally wasted money on the following:
Zagg (peeled on the corners) exchanged this at best buy for ...
Zagg HD (peeled on the corners and S-Pen indented protector) took it off and threw it in the trash once it started looking like ass
Ghost Armor (peeled on the corners and S-Pen indented protector) peeling was blamed on the phone and not the product (sorry excuse)
SGP Ultra Crystal (about 4 attempts to get one perfectly centered AND with no particles underneath, because I suck at installing these harder protectors)
I am waiting to try out a Just Like Glass protector so I can personally review it. The only thing that scares me is they sent out a batch that had "a bad cut"... again, no one seems to do it right the first time, with the exception of SGP. I found it strange they created the protector and THEN got a copy of the phone to measure, but hopefully they have fixed this issue.

Garbage with most tpu cases...they push up the screen protector, had the zagg hd and the one in the blue and yellow box tpu cases pushes up on sps that cover the whole front.
Dont get that zagg hd garbage. Xtremeguard are much better and way cheaper. I bought this cheap tpu case from ebay and its horrible. I had to cut my screen protector beacuse this thing fits so tight that it lifts my screen protector. I also had to cut the bottom of the case because the opening for the charger was too small. I went ahead and ordered the official tpu case from samsung and it looks to be a better choice.

Right thats it. I thought id use those cheap protectors that they send with the case. Ive installed quite a few overmy past phones. I made sure that tbere was no dust whatsoever by using the light and checking at the correct angle but somehow this pos protector has it as soon as i place it. Now my phone looks like **** with two dust bubbles in the middle of the screen.
I can live with the spen lines. Im going to order that wet apply protector at least that way its perfect. Going insane. Serious.

My cheap ebay case pushed up my even cheaper Xtremeguard screen protector for the first day or two after application, but now it doesn't.I just needed some time to settle in. I have used Zagg, Skinomi, and now these cheapXxtremeguards. I like these the best for a fraction of the cost. I paid five bucks for three of them on ebay.
Hey everyone, was just curious to know if you have tried out the Tech Armor HD screen protectors for our Note 2's? I ordered some from amazon seeing as they were prime eligible and go for under $7.00 I thought I would give them a shot. I'm glad I did. Installation was very simple and covers the entire screen. No orange peel effect or any kind of screen distortion added benefit too is that it doesn't feel like it's there. Keep in mind that you also can barely tell that the screen protector is on there unless you look at where the proximity and ambient light sensors are. I will post pictures soon. One downside is that it does tend to smudge a little but cleaning with micro fiber cloth quickly eliminates that. Also if not aligned correctly the edges will lift due to the curved glass display. Just thought I would give people a heads up on a cheap screen protector that works great.

Usually I use Phantom skin or skinomi but I got this as well cause it was prime eligible. It's a dry install and it is one of my favorite screen protectors. It is a truly a glass feel. I highly recommend it. I agree with the op that it does get smudges pretty easy. Does anyone know a screen protector just like this one but supposedly a better quality.
It's a dry install

Another thing I forgot to mention was that the spen doesn't scratch or leave indentations on the protector too.

I have mine installed for 3 days now and I can not tell you how impressed I am with tech Armor. Can imagine now there is a better one. Works amazing well with spend and looks like glass . Never going back to those wet installs again as this is clearer and no bubbles.
Tech armor is basically Ghost Armor. I've been using them since my Vibrant GS. Very good screen protectors. They have kiosks at my mall.

Actually ghost Armor is the complete opposite. That is a military grade shield and is a wet install tech Armor is a dry install with material from japan

I have had a tech armor screen protector since day 1 on my phone and I have to say I am super impressed with it. There are no bubbles at all and the anti-glare and anti-fingerprint is great. Somebody mentioned smudges and it does leave some smudges, but they come right off if you wipe it. The only gripe I have with it was that the screen protector was starting to come up near the home button because the very bottom of it is very skinny, so it's hard to really get it perfect. I took small scissors and just cut that small part out and it has been great since. I've had it on for 2 months and still looks great!
I would definitely recommend tech armor to anyone looking for a screen protector because of the high quality and this is prime eligible on Amazon!
I've had JLG, SGP, and 2 different Glass SP's on both of my Note 2's and I got some cheap Tech Armor HD protectors to tide me by while I was waiting on a replacement MIME protector. Tossed them on both the Notes and gotta say I was very very impressed, especially for the price. I don't think it has quite as slick of a feel as the other "premium" protectors that are 3-4 times more expensive but if you are looking for an edge to edge screen protector, look no further! This thing covers serious real estate. Like previously mentioned, you must take care in initial alignment or it just won't work.
Tech Armor is the best dry skin protector. I have used Ismooth and I am very disappointed with the product. I like how tech Armor covers the whole front of the screen.
Can you guys send me a link, All I see is the screen protector is for a S3. Unless it fits for the note 2 too. Thanks in advance guys!

I've seen a lot of talk about cases but not much on screen protectors (aside from the tempered glass ones). On my OG Droid I used a Zagg Invisible Shield that worked well but had a bad orange peel look to it. My GF's iPhone has a "Power Support" screen protector on it which is crystal clear and works well.
What is everybody using? Are the tempered glass protectors where it's at now?
I always have used sgp spigen screen protectors, think they are the best ones.

Privacy Screen Protector for my G2
Well I have this Privacy Screen Protector I purchased it from Fommy , and its working really very fine..no hard issues till now..so If someone looking for a privacy screen protector..can give a try to this one....its nice one to go for.....
Has anyone ever rocked their phone without a screen protector? if so, did you screen get scratched up? Reason I ask is my Diztronic case for my Verizon G2 is great but it pushed up my Verizon screen protector (dry one from the store, which was working great). Am I going to ruin my screen without a screen protector? Does anyone have a Diztronic case and a screen protector that works well with it?
I switched from my Ballistic case to the Tudia Melody, which I love, because the former was causing my Zagg Invisible Shield to pull up. But all my previous phones have been completely naked and never had any problems with scratches.

I've always gone back and forth using them or going naked about 50% of the time. Never scratched a screen till this one... one week into use there was a tiny one dead center. I think it was actually sorta caused by the flip case. Either the metal ring on it out something got sick between the flap and screen.

I ran my DNA completely naked. After a year it ended up having a few very fine scratches on the screen. Nothing horrible, but still there. I really like the feel of the bare glass, but may go back to a screen protector for my G2. I'm just not very good at installing them - maybe a glass one would be better... I don't know.

Looking closely at the edges of the screen protector on the phone, you will notice that the screen has about a 0.5mm radius all the way round it that is not sticking to the phone glass as a result of the glass curvature around all the phone screens edges.
I am having this same issue with my iloome flexible glass protector on my LG G2 as well sadly.
Without an external case that overlaps this edge I CANNOT recommend this glass screen protector as you run the fair risk of slicing yourself (i had to buy a gel case with overlap to mitigate this very real issue) or worse yet having a piece of glass screen protector break off in your skin because the glass screen protector is so thin and the edge is exposed around all the edges of the screen protector...

What are the best options for screen protectors right now? Has anyone tried the spigen ultra crystal for the g2, i have had good experiences with them in the past. I know that with my galaxy nexus the glass was curved so much that a normal screen protector couldn't fit across the entire screen and the wet apply screen protectors were a mess and looked horrible. Does the g2 have the same problem?
I was wondering the same thing. Anyone bought a screen protector they're happy with? Not a big fan of the wet application type
I used one of the wet application ones from Phantom Skinz (sp?) on my Nexus. It worked so well that I plan on ordering one for the G2.
I actually got the ones from T-Mobile and was quite surprised on how much I like them! They are a dry application, very easy to install, not sticky at all (feel very much like the natural surface before the screen protector), and what I like most...very, very clear and fingerprint and smudge resistant. The only downside is they are a little bit more than I usually spend on screen protectors, $17 for 2.

Wow that seems like a good sign, the best screen protector is one that you can't tell is on the phone. I'm curious, how much of the screen does it cover and do you have any pictures of it installed that you could share?
I got the only one that AT&T stocked. It's a glossy as opposed to an anti glare but the fit and finish is spot on and I can't even tell it's there. Very pleased.
/except for the glossy part
I picked up a few screen protectors from xtreemguard .com. pretty much the same thing as best skins ever. Used code fall80 for 80 percent off. Order was 3 bucks for shipping and two screen. Shipping was fast. Not amazing but definitely the best under $10.
I'm currently rocking the XOSkins wet application screen protector and like it so far.

I have the iloome flex tempered glass screen protector on order so I picked up the Supershieldz off ebay (6 for $5 shipped) as a hold over. They're dry application, fit well, and have decent clarity. Probably not terribly different from most plastic films, but man it hazes up from fingerprints like nothing else. I cleaned it off today with rubbing alcohol and it has already picked up some mild scratches. Guess you cant expect too much for less than a buck per screen protector.

I use to pay the big money for ZAGG. When I bought my G2 (9/12) there wasn't anyone that had screen protectors, so I bought the 3 pack from VZW. I still have the first one on, and no issues. Paid like 10 bucks. It works fine for me.

Well this time I just tried a bit different.... its not Zagg one...its not Spigen..but this time I tried Privacy at Fommy.....
heard a lot about it from one of my friend and after wearing it on my G2.. I can say that the thing it says..it delivers..now I can easily check out my official mails at crowded place and am not worried about the guys standing around me as its not visible to them..that is something I really like about it and moreover it is very finely gripped on the phone and does not even give the feel as If I have placed something on the screen.....I know its quite new one but I am liking this product...
