Regarding the S-pen... Does it leave marks like the $25 Zagg that I just bought? I need a screen protector that doesnt get ruined by the S pen. Please

I've heard that you should change the pen to the plastic tips rather than the rubber one when you use a screen protector. Many reviews have stated a much more smooth and better overall experience with the plastic tips.

I used an iSmooth protector for a year on a Note 2, and never noticed "permanent" tracking on the screen protector itself, only in the oils left by fingerprints/etc. Cleaning the screen as normal restored it to completely new appearance. After a year of use, there was one scratch near the edge but I don't believe that was from the S-Pen.

I have not noticed any marks left on my protector by my S-pen and fingerprints seems to be at a minimum as well. I hope I've helped.

Its good for my use. Im brutal on electronics and I cant tell where the s pen marks are or have been.

I use one of those elastic-like stretchy screen protectors (Ghost Armor, similar to Invisible Shield) and it works just fine. If using those types of protectors, you'll notice just a a SLIGHT resistance due to the elastic-like properties of the surface. However, the typical oils that would normally accumulate on the surface would remedy this symptom. If gliding on bare glass, this stylus glides like a hot knife through warm butter.

I recieved all 3 with mine. I never use the stylus but the screen protector has been on since I recieved it and is not peeling up at all.

During application I was all thumbs when applying the screen protector and even after several applications of the same one (because I wanted it to be perfect) it held up well under the pressure ...lol...and works great with the s-pen and fingers. My son and I love it. P.S. keep in mind the s-pen may be a little rough at first because the screen is brand new.

I don't know anything about the Zagg, but the Luvvitt does resist smudges. It is a lot better than the screen protector I had for my Blackberry. I am very happy with it.

Not familiar enough with zagg to give a good answer. The permanency and ease of installation plus the quality of the material and the way in enhances the touch screen vs. masking make it 1000 times better than anything else I've used. I have been using various screen protectors for different BlackBerry and Nook touch devices for over 4 years now. This is the best so far. imho

Hi Skye,Thanks for your question! The Note 3 screen protector absolutely works for writing with the S-Pen. Every now and again we have a customer that states it does not, but usually they try to use the S-Pen right after installation. What I would suggest is letting the screen protector set 15 minutes or so before using the S-Pen on it - sometimes there is a "tacky" feeling which goes away with exposure to oxygen. You can also give the screen protector a firm once-over with the enclosed microfiber cleaning cloth to expedite this process.Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!Cheers,KyleeiSmooth Customer Service Hi Skye,Thanks for your question!

You're supposed to spray the sticky side with the spray so you can touch it without getting fingerprints on it. If there are fingerprints already on it then they're going to stay there. You can send it back to zagg though and just pay shipping for a new one.

I'd recommend the screen protector just to avoid scratches from day to day use of the s-pen or another stylus. That said, no, the keyboard has not caused any damage whatsoever to my tablet to date.

No. it did not come with a screen protector. It is still a great belt clip. Easy to use. one half of the case goes on the phone and does not make it seem like a huge phone, it has a rubbery type feel to it and does not slip out of your hand or off tables and desk. its plastic with a rubber coating. the belt clip turns so you can wear it vertically or horizontally. it also has a tab that slides out so you can set it down and watch videos on it if your into that. it is a great clip. I love it because I don't like huge phones and this doesn't increase the size a lot. as far as screen protectors you can get them on amazon for as little as a dozen for 99cents or get the Zagg invisible shields for about 10 bucks, I do know the Zagg are awesome and last a very long time. had my current one on my phone for over a year now. Would 100% recommend the case. and just by some shields, Zagg invisible shields if you want known quality durability. You wont be disappointed with those two together.

It is pretty clear. Anytime you put plastic on the screen it will be noticeable. I don't really notice it anymore. For me, the biggest thing is that the edges peel back with my case, but thankfully another $4 and they will give me a new one. This is a problem I have always had with Zagg. I've heard GreatShield, ArmorSuite and Invisible HD Defender are very good. These are the brands next on my list to try. Hope this helps!

I use any of the cheap 3 packs of "crystal clear" "HD" screens- they always work well. Basically, the screen protectors are the same across all of the brands. There are two different types: 1. the static adhered type (my preference) which come in matte/glare reducing and clear/HD; 2. the type that have an application solution that must be applied (Zagg/Armor Suit etc.). I've tried Zagg and Armor Suit across different devices and have never liked them. Their sticky texture is annoying, and can aid in premature peeling of the protector; however, they have a better anti scratch coating for the screen protector itself. What I mean, is that any screen protector is going to protect the glass screen of your device- all of them are thick and tough. It would take a razor to get through the screen protector to scratch your screen. But the Zagg type can hide scratches oh the protectors' surface better than the static type. Also, the Zagg types can make stylus using slightly more difficult at times because of the sticky texture- even the improved protectors that promise a more glass-like surface are still stickier than the static adhered protectors. The other type of protector, my favorite, are the static adhered type. They leave no residue when removed, feel more like glass instead of a sticky film like the Zagg protector, and never have the peeling issues of Zagg type protectors. However, the static type can get little micro scratches on their surface- you can't see them when the screen is on, and they don't affect performance- but they can be seen when viewing with the screen turned off- while tilted to catch the light. Again, the glass screen itself won't ever be scratched- just the outer surface of the screen protector. After Approximately 6 years of trials with both types of protectors, I always get the static adhered type- not the solution-required type. Hope this helps!

Noops, it did not hurt my screen protector in any way. Also, in your previous experience, is there any chance its an ill-fitting screen protector? I would not think tht a case should even be able to mess with a screen protector.

The s-pen is still just as functional with the screen screen protector as it is without a screen protector. I recently shattered my screen and thus protector kept the screen in place. It also doesn't leave weird rainbow or discoloration. Just make sure to put the screen protector on at a time that you won't be using the phone so that the left over residue doesn't affect your your experience.

If im not mistaken the otter box comes with a self adhesive screen protector! :) Ive never used an otter box screen cover though ive heard they are great! But the zagg screen protectors are compatible with all covers!They also have lifetime warranties with zagg send back your old one after they send you a replacement!just make sure you register it on zagg! My 1 year old loves my phone. Her father and I both have zagg covers are screens a perfectly protected! Hope this helps!

It doesn't come with a screen protector. I just ordered a Zagg screen protector.

It feels a little different yes, but I think it has a very good paper feel as well. However if it gets smudgy then your pen just slides without the texture feel, but that happened with the stock screen as well. So not too much loss there. However having the peace of mind that you won't scratch the screen is a HUGE plus for me.
