Spigen aside, I have been researching more "premium" screen protectors and narrowed it down to iSmooth (Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector - NEW 2013 Ultra Premium HD Version - 3 PACK Ultra Clear - iSmooth - Free Lifetime Replacement Guarantee - Bubble Free Installation Guaranteed - Package Includes BONUS Premium Microfiber Cleaning Clo) or MobC (Amazon.com: MobC Galaxy Note 2 / N7100 Screen Protector HD Film - 99.9% Clarity Japanese Film - Retail Packaging - Fine Crystal [2-Pack]: Cell Phones & Accessories)
Both have very positive reviews on Amazon (only very few 1-star extreme reviews, probably from Spigen or JLG lol!!!). MobC is often referred to as a cheaper alternative to Spigen (the same 3H Japanese screen) and comes in a pack of 2 for $9.95. iSmooth comes in a pack of 3 for $9.95 and praised as the easiest installation and great quality with guaranteed no rainbow effects and lifetime replacement. Any comments/experience with either?
Btw, went to VZW store to look at their screen protector (pack of 3 for $10). They had no idea what I was talking about when I ask them if they have rainbow effect under fluorescent light. Furthermore, they told me if I open the package and install one, and later find a defect or rainbow effect - I can't return it back, and no refund. Forget about it!
So now, either iSmooth (leaning more toward it) or MobC (might be the same as Spigen?).
I ordered some cheap screen protectors on eBay for a 1.99 surprisingly the quality of them is extremely good I was able to put my first 1 on with not a single bubbles on screen also no orange peel that I have seen yet. I also ordered a spigen that I will put on once this one fails. Also the pen works well with these and I've not scratched it yet. I will not post a link but will provide a ss of the product and seller

That's what I got. Really nice quality for the price. I got a perfect install on the first shot. Not a single bubble at all and the fit really could not be any better.
I would just be careful with buying based on reviews on Amazon. People who don't know any better give Zagg protectors raving reviews. They don't really realize how crappy Zagg protectors are compared to what's out there.
That being said, I have seen that people who bought the MobC protectors for the Note 2 have been happy with them. iSmooth I haven't really heard of before. I may have seen the name a couple times but not many people talking about it.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but I used buy Zagg invisishields with every phone, but I recently discovered Armorsuit on Amazon. It is the same thing, same application, at half the price. This screen protector is $10 shipped with free lifetime replacements. I have installed a few of these now and they are a lot easier to do than they look.

Thanks for feedback! Can you comment on people's reviews about s-pen marks? I see it as the major common complain in there, and can't figure out if its permanent or easy to wipe. How about under strong fluorescent lights, any rainbow/oily effects?

Anyone knows any screen protector that is made out of thin glass? I could never get all bubbles out of any screen protector and they always ended up looking bad. I just don't have the skill and patient to work out dust and bubble. I think that if it is a thin piece of glass or thicker piece of plastic, it would be easy to install. I already have a bumper case, do I don't even need it to stick to the screen. Just sit on top of it and the metal bumper will clamp it in place.

A thin glass protector would be MUCH MUCH worse. I can just imagine the lawsuits pending as a result of people slicing their fingers open trying to install something like that or shards of glass being embedded in hands when it breaks in use.
In short, no, nothing like that. The Otterbox commuter has something like that built into the case but alot of people have problems with it.
