Yea thats for sure its a pack of 3 very easy to install also I'm glad I got it 1 day after I got the phone. I had a note 3 and one day it was in my pocket 2 days after i got it it was so scratched up i hated the note 3

Mine arrived yesterday along with some other goodies. Best clear screen protector I have ever used. Can't tell that it's on.

I'm confused... is this a tempered glass screen protector?

The packaging says "hard surface" but it looks just like a film to me?

Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I figured.... but I'm wondering how a PET film can have a "hard surface" as shown on the Spigen package?
It's harder then a cheap flimsy plastic protector but not as hard or thick as glass. Basically it's a stiff piece of plastic.

is it as slippery as tempered glass screen protectors? I've not used any film screen protectors for several years. On my last 7 smartphones, I've had tempered glass screen protectors. Just wondering if I should give film screen protectors a second chance? :)

I bought my gold Note 5 today on sale on ebay and have been looking up the best screen guards, the tempered glass all seem flawed. So i was settling for the Spigen. But this negative review concerns me:

I'm about to order the screen protector as well as a Spigen case. Does anyone have experience with the screen guard lifting because of it being so close to the edges? I'm a guy who will be frequently removing his case once im home and using my case when im not home. The cases im going to buy are:

I received my Spigen protectors yesterday. I've tried over 10 different tempered glass screen protectors and 100% of them have halo problem. (either right after installation or a couple of weeks later)

Just put it on a few minutes ago. Holy cow, this thing is so clear and there is absolutely no halo. :)

The only problem is that the surface isn't as slippery as tempered glass screen protector. I tried cleaning it a few times with Zeiss cleaning towels(which is the same as the one that Spigen inclued... I have a 300-pack box from Costco) and also microfiber towels. A little better, but still noticeable.... I fully expected this, since one is film and one is glass. :) Oh well.

The S-Pen also does not glide across the screen as well as on a glass screen protector... but I rarely use the S-Pen anyway. In fact, on my previous Note 2/3/4, I almost NEVER pulled the S-Pen out... :)

Also, I suspect the Spigen film protector will not be as good as glass protectors when it comes to actual drop protection. (again, that's to be expected)

With the Spigen film protector on, I cannot tell there was a protector on my Note5, unless I'm within a few inches from the phone.
