I've spent numerous hours researching which tempered glass screen protector is the best but can't seem to find any persuasive reviews, even after seeings responses on this forum. I"ve looked at Spigen, Zagg, Iloome, MIME, Nillkin you name it but seem to find major faults with each. Money isn't an issue, quality is. I'm looking to buy from either ebay or amazon.
My main concerns are:
1) no issues of bubbles forming after weeks/months of installation
2) ease of use with S Pen
3) toughness so it won't randomly or easily crack
4) anti fingerprint, smudge, scratch resistant (9H)
5) confused about round edges whether it's a must to have (I will be using a case)
I'll post my gripes with the ones I've highly considered.
Spigen
The Slim TR was enticing but I've heard about issues of bubbles forming way after installation. I think there were adhesion problems with the product and since they haven't made a nano version for the Note 3, there is no clear winner. It's also .4mm thick so while it will fit with Spigen cases, I feel like it will be too tight and will eventually crack. I didn't consider the Slim T much because it's prone to chipping likely even if I put a case on it.
Zagg
The S Pen doesn't work fluidly and leaves marks.
MIME
The Feather Glass looks great but can't find the product on amazon or ebay. Plus can't find any reviews of it for the Note 3 specifically. The .15mm is super enticing. Haven't really considered the Ghost Glass because the Feather's specs appear superior.
Iloome
I've seen reviews about it not being truly oleophobic. Also prone to getting bubbles. Not a nice feel.
These are the ones I've considered significantly since they seem to be the more popular ones mentioned throughout different forums and sources. All the other ones don't seem as appealing.
Please anybody with knowledge/experience with these addressing my concerns would be great. I wan't to make sure it lasts and not have to get another one a few months later. Sorry for the long post but I needed to be thorough in my question.
