ArmorSuit MilitaryShield [Case Friendly] Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Anti-Bubble HD Clear Film

Pros:Easier than tacky back PET screen protectors to apply. Follow the video directions percisely to get very good results. Add the extra element of going to a bathroom and running the shower steaming hot for 5 minutes beforehand to clear the dust from the air and you can get great results.Extremely clear and virtually bubble free. Almost totally bubble free after a few days and practically invisible, except when tilted at an angle to the light.Touch sensitivity did not seem to be affected.I have a light touch with pens. So I did not experience the marking issue with the S-pen that others have.Cons:The cover is soft. It will easily pick up fingernail marks that stay and will develop ridges from the smoothing and squeegee application process.The soft surface will also offer more resistance to swiping/sliding with fingers and to the S-pen point.Extreme care must be taken during the application process to avoid getting the application solution inside the phone. Wetness and electronics do not mix well. Try to allow 20-24 hours for the phone to dry before turning it back on and, if possible keep it face down on a microfiber towel or lens cloth the entire time to wick away moisture.Due to its softness, it will probably be more likely to scratch during normal use. The softness means it is self-healing; but that can only go so far.However, all things considered, this is a much better choice than the harder surfaced dry application protectors. Both ArmorSuit and Skinomi make very good products and I will take their solution to the screen protection problem any day over the others. The wet application process means less dust gets caught between the protector and the screen; and what little there may be will not create distorting bubbles like the dry application covers do.The cover loses one star for being so soft, but I wish there was a way to make it 1/2 star because the rest of it is so good. The previous suggestion to apply with the phone case on has merit. However, you will have to take into account that some of the liquid will get squeegeed under that cover. It will be best to remove the case immediately after application to prevent liquid from getting into the phone because of it.

Great value for price paid. There was not instructions included with the package. Just a note with a link to You Tube vidoe on the Internet. It would be better served to include some instructions in the package.The screen protector is cut perfectly for the Note 3, with no blockage of the camera holes or sensors. Had no problem putting it on. After waited 24hrs as instructed, it looks very nice and clear. Although I did notice a bunch of nick marks on the protector. I think it was left on from the use of the rubber squeezi to push out the solution. Then the other day, somehow I left a smudge on the protector and I couldn't clean it off with a dry cloth. I had to use a wet screen towlette to finally clean the smudge. Other than that, it does look nice and clear.Update 8/12/14: The nick or skuff marks on the protector is now showing more promeniently. Also, some bubbles are now showing. Tried to request a free replacement according to their Lifetime Replacement warranty, but Amazon's state this item is not available for replacement. Only that it will refund if I return this item to Amazon. I am not going to waste my time and money to ship this back for the $6.98 refund. Will have to look into Zagg Invisible Shield protector.

This was very easy to put on, and it has stayed on nicely for some time now. However, there are some little dust motes, tiny hairs that are under the screen protector that were invisible for the first week or so, and now I have to decide whether to remove and reinstall or just forget them. Undecided about that. the s-pen works fine, and the touch screen is still very responsive. I have notices that the surface is not completely flat, it is almost textured, this doesn't interfere with anything, and its not noticeable unless I look closely. However you can definitely feel that there is a covering over the glass. The only real gripe I have is that this schield collects oils and dust and fingerprints. a lot. again, it doesn't interfere with the display, but when the angle is just right I can see a thin film on my phone.

As far as screen protectors go this is a good one. The application method is effective, the fit is precise, it does not come up at the edges and there are no bubbles. I even successfully transferred it from one Note 3 to another when I had to RMA my phone. I got this brand after good results on my older phone.The only problem I encountered was a couple weeks ago I decided to try out using the stylus with the "S Note" app to take some handwritten meeting notes. This left a visible indentation of the writing into the screen that seems like it could be semi-permanent. It's not really visible when the screen is on but I think it would be a problem if I decide to use the stylus on a regular basis.

The product leaves fingerprints like crazy and gets dirty pretty easily. The product comes with a tiny spray bottle of solution for applying to the face of your phone. I don't know if it was just an old package, but this bottle was almost impossible to get spraying. This made applying the protector difficult to say the least. Once I applied the screen protector and let dry, it shows all kinds of lines and imperfections in the screen protector itself. Not bubbles or dirt that was left on the phone, as I cleaned the face thoroughly before applying the protector. It's a possibility that I was mailed a damaged screen protector. However, I'm not sure I want to go to all the trouble to remove it, clean the surface of the phone (which is a pain after taking off a screen protector) and then go through the process again just to find that a new protector might be damaged as well (or just be imperfect). Either way, I don't recommend this product. I still give it two stars because it does protect my screen.
