I had zagg for a month then ghost armor for the rest of the time on my note 1. Now that I found spigen, I will never use ghost armor or zagg again. GA and Z both are "thick and soft" compared to spigen, and when you write, it does not really mess with the s-pen (unless you are trying to draw in s-not) but it does leave marks/indents for a while. With Spigen, you can't even tell you have a screen protector.
My advise, go with spigen.
