I've bee reading some of the other forums on here, and I am having a hard time choosing what screen protector and case to use (which is a good thing, I guess). I am trying to decide between Zagg, Ghost Armor, and the Spigen Glas.t (do I get the SLIM or tR). Which one of these is best? Do they all protect the phone from scratches and drops about the same?
As far as cases go, whats the best case? I've been looking at the Otterbox Commuter and was dead set on getting it until I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Will they both protect the phone from slight drops? If you have the Spigen, are the sides raised over the edges of the screen and the camera, as to protect it?
I tried Ghost Armor. was not happy with it. Sure it protected nicely and it is nearly indestructible but I found it tended to embed bits of dust that would not come out no matter what I did to clean it.
Today I have a cheap matte protector that cost me about $5 IS on Amazon. Also picked up a TPU case and a hard case.
I always preferred a generic TPU case for my devices... adds very little bulk, makes them easier to grip (less slippage), and better protection than naked...
I am not a fan of those huge, multi-layered monster cases.
Zagg + Otterbox (Commuter) for me. I picked the Zagg because that's the only screen protector Best Buy had and I had to get one right when I got my phone so I can always claim it's had one on for 100% of it's life. Maybe an OCD thing, I don't know.
And right now, Otterbox is the only brand I trust. My Galaxy Nexus was in a Diztronic and cracked from a ~2 foot drop onto concrete. That's probably reasonable, and definitely falls under the category of user error, but it would not have broken with an Otterbox. That's a fact.

Agreed. Same style.
Also, not only do questions belong in Q&A, but there's even an Accessories subforum for these exact types of questions.

Plus their screen protectors are amazing.
I have the dualtek extreme shock case with the spigen glas.t SLIM. its the best combo in my opinion. I used the same combo with my iPhone 4S and its been great protection. I've dropped them both a couoke of times on some hard surfaces with no scratches at all. I've dropped my iPhone face down (not on purpose of course). No scratches what so ever.

For $30 they should be pretty amazing... I can't see myself dropping more than $10 shipped on a case.
I've got a neo hybrid case and ghost armor screen protector. I had GA on my S3. I like the feel of the GA protector, the professional install, and the fact that it has the lifetime warranty. If it even LOOKS like its peeling, I run to the mall and get it replaced.
This is my first Spigen product and I have gotten more compliments on this one than I have on any other case.

I have the Neo Hybrid case too and get comments everywhere I go - I normally use ZAGG screen protectors but tried the Spigen GLass T protector and love it - it has the most natural feel - and looks awesome!
I bought a spigen for my Xperia z and it didn't let the proximity sensor work right. You'd get off a call and the screen wouldn't turn back on. Tried to take it off and it cracked. It was pretty thick, not sure if that was the reason but I'll steer clear of one till I know for sure. Especially with the hover features of this phone.

The dualtek or Neohybrid? Have you gotten the case yet? I'm probably gonna buy one of those cases.
Edit: I just saw that the case was shipping from Hong Kong. I'm worried it may be some knock off fake item. That's just me though.
For me sgp neo hybrid and screen protector I picked up at the ATT for 10 bucks. I always buy sgp screen protectors but I figured I would just use these till I need a change then I'll pickup dome sgp screen protectors down the road

Hi, this is a review of the amCase Hybrid Bumper Case And amFilm Screen Protector Premium HD Clear.
I received them this week, i like the back transparency, because it lets the original S5 design show, the case has a nice fit and lets very good space to access all ports, also it feels good to the touch and has a nice grip, since the back is solid, also this make it feel like a more expensive product.

I didnt like the case because of its back. It kept giving me goosebumps....its a weird material
I'm thinking about trying this case and wondered how it fits. Also, how is the installation?
Any more info on the Screen Protector?
Recently bought another brand off Ebay and was wondering if the amFilm brand you mention is any better? The ones I got were really hard to align and just did not seem to go down right. This caused the edges of the protector not be sealed down tightly and I constantly get air bubbles in the sides and near the home button. I even payed extra for fast shipping so it was kind of expensive. The ones your talking about are cheaper and get good reviews so I am considering trying them. Did your friend happen to mention how the protectors fit? Or if he has had any problems with air bubbles?

Purchased this case the other day and it's great! One of the best cases I've had.
Any recommendations?
Looking to grab a glass protector from aliexpress but since the phone is relatively new, not sure of anyone's experience there. Previously got one for my S4 there and it was perfect.

I first tried ZAGG glass but then I ended up using Galaxy S5 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Privacy. Both were pretty impressive to me. ZAGG has lifetime warranty for spigen I think you only get 90 days both cost the same $39.99 and ZAGG Glass is $34.99 on the website

Yep, aware of the bigger and more common brands. They are also usually more than 5 times the price of an equivalent one from China though!
Wondering if anyone had experience with the glass protectors from the Asian market?
I have used iLoome and Spigen products before and they do not impress me for the price I pay relative to alternatives at that point in time.

i'm using niilkin tempered glass, it's korean brand, it cost me just 14$ but i'm so satisfied with it, it fits perfectly with s5, finger-print resistance, real glass and super responsive. it's what you see is what you get.

I am using the Lunnitt 9H (purchased from Amazon), love it and can't say a thing bad about the protector.
Thanks for the suggestion all!
And if you really think that protector you get for paying the overpriced $30+ is any better than the $5 one... The marketing got you good...
I use baseus, got it for about 15$.
I have it for about a month and a half now and it's still fingerprint resistant, very easy to clean, no scratches, and it's glass so it feels good to touch, i can't stand the plastic films.
I don't intend on finding out about shatter resistance though :laugh:

Anybody pop off Otterbox defender screen protector and use a glass one? Ive been thinking of trying it but not sure if it will fit. I hate the defender case protector and love the clarity of the glass ones.
Using m-glass. On all devices. Very nice and shipping to Russia cheap. Feel like no protector.
So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.
does it fit even w/ the case on?
I know it's early but that screen need to stay protected.
I expect Whitestone to come with a glass and leave some impressions if you get any. How the case combability is.
But more curious about alternatives that does not involve UV light and LOCA glue also.
Just wanted to sign on and remind everyone to be careful on amazon with screen protectors... there have been so many fake review product pages recently - i bet there will be plenty of fake positive reviews in the coming weeks

Same here and keep Note 9 in a flip case. Prefer to spend money on case and not £40 On Whitestone solution.
I'm gonna go with the Zagg glass screen shield. Have one for my Note 8 and it works great. Full adhesive throughout so no issues with air gap and clarity is good. Expensive but I always end up buying 3 or 4 other cheaper ones that usually don't work, so might as well get a good one. Whitestone ones are good, but I hate the loca glue application process. Zagg one is way easier.

Waiting for IQ Shield or Armor Suit, the Spigen ones are in stock at Amazon now so I may order those early.
I've always had great results with IQ Shields. I like the matte, I know most don't but the HD clear ones are very good as well. I can't find anything for the Note 9 on amazon yet. Hopefully, there are a bunch of them coming out soon so I have something by the time I get the phone.

I'm gonna go with the Zagg glass screen shield. Have one for my Note 8 and it works great. Full adhesive throughout so no issues with air gap and clarity is good. Expensive but I always end up buying 3 or 4 other cheaper ones that usually don't work, so might as well get a good one. Whitestone ones are good, but I hate the loca glue application process. Zagg one is way easier.

The Zagg one is okay. Just don't like the gap on the sides. But curious on that one since the curve is not... Um... As curvy as usual
My preordered unit will come with a free Nanofixit screen protector, if that qualifies. Hopefully, it's good!

Does it stay on with a case?

You can get the two pack for 41.99... use the code THRIFT30 at checkout...
I wanted to get the Dome but saw that it doesn't play well with the Gear VR. I'll try the screen protector they're giving with preorders where I live:

Cant say for certain as I don't have the Note 9 or the protector yet, but they say it will. I have it for the Note 8 and have no issues with using it with a case.

Had great luck with Armour Suit , works decent with the spen on my note 8. Until curves are gone I have given up on glass, just look at the whitestone dome thread in the note 8 forums. I dont want that kinda hassle. Might run naked also, depends on how the gorilla glass holds up to sand.

Awesome! Do you know how long the code is good for?
I also ordered the Dome Glass Full 3D Curved Edge Screen Shield. I got the 2 pack so if I mess up somehow, I have a back up.
So just ordered some of Spigens products. The Liquid Air and Neo flex. Since this phone is quite big the slimmer the better I feel
