Belkin Screen Overlay for 8 inch Samsung Galaxy Note - Transparent

In the product packet you will get, the screen overlay which itself comes protected by two plastic films. You will also get a small fine microfibre cloth, a warranty card that doubles up as a card to smooth out air bubbles, some dust removal film and some pretty basic instructions.Application:The instructions are simple but clear enough. The provided microfibre cloth is good as is the dust removal film for pre-cleaning the device's screen but I did also clean the it using a some basic screen cleaning spray, this is necessary to breakdown and remove any skin oil or grease already on the screen. I think the product ought to come with a pre-wetted screen cleaning cloth for that purpose (a bit like the hand cleaning tissues you used to get on planes).Once the screen is clean and dust free, the application is a little fiddly as it always is with these protectors, but if you take your time to line it up and avoid touching the underside of the protector then you should get very good results. The protector is quite thick and stiff so it's quite easy to massage out the air bubbles. I found no problems with the fitment, all the holes are in the right place.Usage:The anti-smudge properties of this protector are really good. The screen doesn't interfere in anyway with the touch responsiveness of the device for both fingers and pen usage. I was still able to use the screen just as well for things like sketching and note taking including pressure sensitive applications.One thing buyers should be aware of is that the protector is not completely invisible and it changes the surface finish of your device's screen considerably. You will notice a very slight tint and a very fine but visible grain, the screen will also feel a lot less glossy. It has a matt finish similar to many eBook readers.I think this is a necessary evil of getting the anti-smudge properties, personally I'm not too averse to it, I'd say for some applications it can be quite desirable. I do not find that it impedes the motion of the pen over the screen, but I think buyers should be aware that they will lose the crispness of the display somewhat.

Over the past 8 years I've used dozens of screen protectors for dozens of devices. The Belkin screen protector is the best yet. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The protector comes with the usual cloth and plastic widgit to squeeze out bubbles. What I really really liked was 3 little sticky labels, which you use to collect any bits of dust and dirt before applying the protector. The protector has a matt feel to it, but the screen remains super responsive and I feel a lot happier.

Arrived on time and easy to apply without the customary air bubbles, reduces glare on screen and does not affect the touch screen properties by hand or with Stylus pen.

Recommended as one of the best available but found instructions bemusing. Tricky to place on screen even being careful but this seems to be a common problem with all overlays.
