The Tempered Glass for the Note 3. Warning, kinda long.. :)

[icnmayhem]

I would suggest your definition of tempered glass while true, is not accurate. While windshields made of "safety glass" which is a sandwich of two layers of glass bonded to a plastic middle layer. The glass may or may not be tempered (I don't know which or if both types are used). The glass used for screen protectors is a single sheet of glass which is tempered (like Gorilla brand tempered glass for example).
Put an organic solvent (acetone for example) on the surface of the product. If it melts or clouds up it is plastic. If it doesn't it is most likely glass.

LOL, i know, but when he asked for layman's terms, i was trying to avoid the type ofexplanation you just gave. i figured he was more interested in the glass/plastic distinction than a discussion of industrial practices.

Im going to buy one right now!

After reading his negative feed back (11 with in 30 days - most of them regarding the Note 3 temper glass), I'm kind of hesitant to continue buying from him..

There was only one negative about the note 3 screen protector out of the 11.

I received this case (Amazon.com: Bear Motion for Galaxy Note 3 - Premium Bumper Ring Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Note III (Black) (Black): Cell Phones & Accessories) today & it is exactly what I wanted. Protection around all 4 sides with openings for all the sensors and speakers while leaving the great original phone back cover exposed. Far superior to the Speigen Neo I returned.

A couple of pics? I love the Spigen Neo Hybrid so I wanna see what you think is better.

Not the HD Invisible Shield but it does trip up the original Invisible Shield...on the HD the S-Pen glides as if on glass.

Here are some quick snapshots of the case front and back both unmounted and mounted on my Note 3.

I got this screen protector at the recommendation of this thread, and I can report that I love the screen protector. Shipping was fast, installation was super easy. I got it crooked the first time and the adhesive was strong enough to take it back off and fix it and line it up. Perfect fit, smooth surface for my s-pen, and clearly a lot of added protection.

Thanks OP

Very interesting. I would just worry that the back of the phone may somehow get scratched or marred.

I would rather have the great secure feeling of holding the back of the Note 3 than cover it and not have this secure feeling. Scratches are part of life and a much better part than having my phone slip from my hand and have a broken screen or destroyed hardware. Everyone's mileage may vary.

We will be waiting for your report.. It seems like there is two schools of thought here. Some are saying is is plexiglass (plastic)and some are saying it is real glass. Some have done chemical test to prove that it is real glass, and others have come back and siad it is a different form of plastic
but it is plastic. The one I got for $8.55 from a US shippers is working nicely. After using the phone a lot doing the day, I wipe it off with a screen cleaner which has a damp solution on it. The screen is very clear and no problems using the pen or my finger.. I know the Spigen and mmIm are real glass, but some are really undecided on these clones..

Again, waiting for your report..

Ah man, I love that edge & button protection on that case.. It really goes above and beyond on the edge and buttons. However, as clumsy and sloppy as I am, I prefer something on the back too.

Still, a super case..

You are welcome!!

BTW, that is the same exact one I got and from the same seller..Now, this is the only one I reported on, and some of the reports are saying that this item is Plastic and not Glass. I think we both would agree that for what we paid for it, it is way, way worth the price, and the performance might not be up there with the $25 to $38 glass screens, which cost 4 times as much, this item can hold its own with them at 1/4 the cost. Since the price has went down, I am going to order me another one.

I love cheap prices.

Can someone tell me the benefits of the tempered glass vs the sticker type screen protector?

One thing I am finding out with my cheap clone tempered glass is that you get no bubbles with the tempered glass. Also, and I hope doesn't happened to anybody, but something does hit that screen and it cracks, 9 out of 10, the glass protector is going to take the hit, leaving your screen not damaged. From this point on, it will always be glass for me. .The bubbles are history, and the prices are almost close together too.

Alright, got mine in!! I ordered this one - Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM N9000 | eBay

Like previously posted this is my first time dealing with temper glass. I took off my previous screen protector and cleaned the screen off. Peeled the back of the TG off and put it on in one shot. The best thing about it was there were a few tiny bubbles but they were easily removed with a squeegee. I have NO BUBBLES! Which I could not say for my previous screen protectors. I love this temper glass! I even put my spigen case back on and it looks friggen amazing! I love it. I would recommend this product to everyone!!!
