Now that this phone has been out for a while, I have a question for all of you that do not use a screen protector. I've had a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector on the front of my phone since the moment it came out of the box. The protector looks and feels nice, but I'm absolutely sick of the fingerprints and smudging. I'm constantly having to wipe the screen. I want to remove it and go naked, but I'm worried about scratches. For all of you who go with a naked screen, how does your screen look? Big scratches? Micro scratches? No scratches? Fingerprints? Thanks for your feedback.
Fingerprints will be there, no matter what you do. TBH, using a 9H Screenshield glass is more resistant against prints. However I only had a naked screen for 5 days.

Since consensus seems to say that the stylus does not scratch a naked screen, I was wondering, does the stylus easily scratch the screen protectors you guys put on?
Since screen protectors are plastic, they are probably softer than the naked glass of the note?
What screen protector did you use that got scratched/not scratched?
Have any of SGP screen protectors users gotten their screen protectors scratched?
Because it would get annoying to have a scratched screen protector when you are looking your phone everyday, might as well go naked if the screen protector would be filled with scratched just after a week of use of the stylus.
Thanks
The cheap Ebay ones I'm running at the moment are easy to scratch with the stylus. They're even getting minor scratches from finger use. Waiting for my SGP ones to show up. I'm sure they'll be better
i ordered a boxwave protector, and havent ordered from anywhere else since I ran into the ebay problem. It's not in yet, but I imagine it will be scratch free for a good while
I'm using the skinomi screen protector and it doesn't really scratch but leave dimples and marks because the screen protector itself is so soft. It will probably be the same result with zagg skins as well, I plan on getting a harder one like from SGP later.

It has significantly scratched my SGP Ultra Clear. I noticed this clearly yesterday while sketching.
my atfolix anti glare seems just fine. in addition, it is nicer to write on since it isn't as smooth. That makes it a tiny bit noisier, and as with any anti glare protector you take a little bit of a sharpness hit.
The latter turned me off initially but people still WOW over the screen so I wonder if the sharpness hit is part imaginary.
Sounds like the Note really shouldn't have any type of lcd protector on it.

By Ultra Clear, do you mean the Ultra Crystal?
That is exactly the screen protector I plan to get. Hmmm..
Do you now think that a note without a screen protector would be better?
How annoying are the scratches on your screen?

Hey guys, I have been using the spigen pet film for a long time but it shows fingerprints like crazy and it makes the screen
look not as good as it should, also because it is pet and not glass it has a drag to it and i'd prefer a smooth touchscreen.
Which glass protector would you guys recommend? i'd prefer it to be as resistant as it can to fingerprints
also, is there a company that sells glass protectors for the back?

Hello,
So I have had been using Jettech tempered glass for my Note 5 since I got it last year and recently saw a crack on it and I was like how the heck I was like let me see if it's on the screen and
lol the whole thing cracked.
So I had a set of screen protectors at home for note 5 and I put that one. Now it's thin and doesn't even feel like there anything on the screen and the screen looks so beautiful colors and all but I'm worried-do we really need tempered glass protectors?
I've seen knife tests and all and this phone survives without any struggle so shouldn't this screen protector be enough?
What do you guys think? I do have a Spigen case on it-with in-built shock absorber and what not.
It depends on how anal you are. I assure you you will get a scratch at some point.
I got tempered glass because I didn't want a peice of plastic. Recently I watched a video about tempered glass and saw tempered glass can take a hit. If the tempered glass is hit at a specific way/angle then it shatters. But it can defiantly take a hit and prevent scratches

I understand but my question is should I get tempered glass or I'm fine with screen protector I have.
I already put one on but it's not tempered it's the regular one. Not sure how durable this is but my screen definitely looks better lol maybe because it's not that thick haha
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. If you have a decent lip on your case I don't think the glass buys you a whole lot. With a slim case without much lip, I think they have saved my phone's screens a couple of times.
I'd say go for glass. Plastic is plastic. Glass a few dollars more for a reason)
Tempered glass here

I got the zagg plastic xtreme I think...comes with front and back protect.
It is nice on the back too...no more fingerprints.
I don't have any scratches yet. I can sort of rub light scratches right out...kind of cool.
Tempered glass will give you the height protection against scratches and impact, better clarity, last longer, better feel in hand sometimes better feel then the glass phone itself, less fingerprints. Tg is also better then a "shatter film" because it has better ratio between scratches and impact resistance.
There is no debate here...
I have tempered glass just because its clearer than plastic and is easier to clean. Its not super thick so i dont really mind also for the extra protection on such a exspensive phone.

Tempered glass is the best way to go. It provides better protection, is very hard to scratch, doesnt impact optics, and is easier to apply. No brainer.
I'd stick with what we all know, tempered glass. Just purchased the Note 5 from a private party seller and luckily it didn't have many scratches from the previous owner NOT having a screen protector on.
Purchased the glass and am loving it.
They're cheap AF on amazon and as good of quality as the $50 ones in stores.
Well I dropped my phone from pocket height yesterday, it fell face down, and sure enough I seen a crack across the screen. I am using the caselogy that covers the edges, so when I peeled back the tempered glass...it was just the temperd glass cracked. Ordered a new 1 on eBay for 5 dollars, this glass lasted 4 months
Ok guys- even though when I bought the phone new I had tempered glass on it and I was just lazy to order another one since I already had regular screen protector with me.
I'll order one - It's by company JTtech - 9.99 on Amazon prime.
I just got lazy and to be honest- the tests on youtube shows that the bare screen of the phone is very resilient so I shrugged it off.
I'll order it today. I also have Spigen case on with raised edges.
I've got about 6 different tempered glass screen protectors because I can't stand the feel of the plastic screen protectors...
Mind you the screen on my note 5 is a freaking joke. I went about a month without a screen protector and my screen is scratched to all hell. And that's just from pocket use... So in the end it doesn't matter which one you go with, just use a screen protector.
It's not entirely how anal you are. I haven't used them in years and never had a problem because I would always keep my phone in a pocket which I was sure was empty. However I tried an oleo phobic tempered glass screen protector from Benks. It is hard to get it on perfectly, but it is great in that the screen is much more slippery for the swipe keyboard usage and also it never shows fingerprints on the screen any more. (Also this is not as important but I like it that it removes/hides/covers up the obnoxious 'Samsung' logo.) If you but them, buy more than one because if you mess up putting it on then you have a spare (which you would eventually use anyway). I recently dropped my phone for the first time and freaked out - but my case and the Benks tempered glass protector together completely protected the phone - with a big crack across the screen - which disappeared when I peeled off the protector!

Tempered glass screen protectors are the way to go. The only way tempered glass can crack or break is if the edge or corner is hit (I should know, i work with tempered glass everyday) and since these protectors are so thin, there is only a fine edge on it, nearly impossible to hit with something, even though i had something hit that fine edge at work. i get all my tempered glass protectors off Amazon, $4 - $7, as compared to $35 for a Zagg temp glass protector in stores, or even $25 for a plastic protector.
Tempered glass is best
But does anyone have the halo? I put mine on perfectly centered and I've got a hell of a halo. I was wondering if there's no halo with a plastic screen protector. That would be one reason to vote for plastic.

On my second tempered glass, and haven't seen any halos.
Anyone removed the screen protector?
I think someone told me that it's not recommended.
But why's that?

I did, because I wanted to try another screen protector. Tried two, neither of them fitted well, so I removed them. The 'naked' screen is fine, but it has no oleophobic coating, so it gets smudgy quite fast. I decided to add a 'nanofluid' liquid protector, which works reasonably well for me. I dropped my P10 a few times from 1 m or so, without damage.

Thank you...:good:
I removed the protector 5 days after I got the phone. The main reason was the ugly border of unprotected screen. After using a full covering glass screen protector for one year, I removed it.
I have two little scratches on the right edge of the display glass. This was unprotected with the stock protector and I don't know if this happened with this protector or without any protector.
I'm using the original flip case btw.
The fluid protectors are crap, they can just increase the hardness of the screen. Huawei used Gorilla glass 5 which is very hard. It should not break instantly when the phone falls on the floor.
Metal and ceramic won't have a chance to scratch it, because the glass has more hardness than metal or ceramic.
But you'll get scratches by tiny dust particles even with gorilla glass 5, because dust can contain some small quartzite and other very hard particles. This particles have more hardness than the glass and can damage it. The fluid protector is so thin that the scratches by dust particles will scratch the display glass, too. So you will not see any differences when using the protector - only if it works oleophobic.

How long does the liquid lasts?

Difficult to say. I estimate a couple of months.
Took mine off screen fine without it on.
What tempered glass is everyone using for the V60? I don't use the Dual Screen, so I just need it to cover the phone screen.
Dmax glass was the thinnest glass screen protector I have ever seen for any phone I've put glass on ever.
Came in a pack of two. I chipped and cracked the edge of one with my fingernail simply taking the film off to install it. The second cracked in a couple days later from setting the phone down too hard I guess.
LK glass had poor adhesion. Large air bubbles on the edges of the screen. Bad enough I took it off after a month to try a diffrent brand. Noticed the sticky part of the glass felt subpar after uninstall.
Now using Zagg glass and its okay. Doable for now. However a thin ring shaped air bubble is present on the Zagg around the edges of the screen. It's thin and even, and can't be seen when the screen is on. When off it looks like its gonna start peeling up at the edges.
The issue I had with glass is that its too thick to close the cover if you have one on the phone and one on the sexind screen
AmFilm is what I put on the phone today. Came in a pack of three. Probably the best protector I've tried yet.
Thicker glass, might be a true 0.3mm. No bubbles or rings near the edges. Sticks very well, good adhesive.
Touch is good and looks are good with the screen off or on.
However, AmFilm is slightly (1mm?) shorter and narrower than the Zagg glass.
The Zagg glass was 0.26-0.23mm thick and covered more screen surface. The Zagg covers more screen surface than LK, DMax, or AmFilm.
However, the Zagg never adhered to the screen edges completely resulting in a white ring air pocket along the outer edges of the protector.
The Zagg glass was stuck to the screen very well when I removed it. The outer air pocket never did grow in size, was very narrow, just annoyed me to look at when the screen was off.
Overall the Zagg was a good option, but maybe not for those like me that value good looks as highly as I do.
The DMax Armor glass I tried was so thin, it might be an option for the dual screen case. DMax could have been 0.15mm thick possibly. Really similar to the Baseus ultra thin glass.
It's very fragile stuff as noted above, but again DMax might be as thick as double overlapped film protectors.
For those looking at a good protector here is the link for what I am using. Installs with ease, no bubbles and halos.
