Just got my Note 5 today.

Are any of you guys using a tempered glass screen protector? Does it work flawlessly with the S-pen? Or is it not even needed?
I'm also looking for a cheap slim back cover until my Dbrand skin arrives, any suggestions?

Any note specific apps you can recommend?

Thx

hi,
i had my Note5 since launch and could only get a Superfly clear back cover from Vodacom It's fine and it's got ok grip when holding phone. ( also keeps the backof Note5 shiny re fingerprints) but not the best. I think I paid something like R150.
Also wanted to put tempered glass on but change my mind after i saw my son put tempered glass on my old Note4 (he's using it now) To me it just "breaks ? " something in the looks department. It's has it positive points /uses, but no thanks. I am looking for a pouch /holster type to keep phone in but cannot find any locally . So my setup should be to keep screen natural.
O, yes go to Settings /Themes and download extra themes from Theme store. i have a few great looking themes. Changes the whole look of phone (re dialer, notifications sms calculator, settings etc.)
Good luck and enjoy.

Really? You're going to put aesthetics ahead of protecting your damn expensive phone? I'll never understand people like you (unless you're brain-dead rich)

I'm using a glass protector, works just fine with the spen, and in my mind at least, has saved my screen from breaking several times.

This update seems good for battery life.... Sitting on 23hours 30min with 20% left. 3.45hrs screen on time

I got an update a week back, but only for improvements, still on 5.1.1

When is Marshmallow rolling out, any ideas?

Oh wise gurus of international acquisition who dwell in this subforum...

If colleagues of mine are going to Dubai, where would they be able to purchase a Note 5 in store at non-insane prices? Anyone have a clue?

Thanks, got it from Jumbo Electronics

Is yours a bit smaller than the screen? I bought one from a stand vendor, it's about the size of the screen, but it has the halo effect. I'm trying to find one that will cover completely flush

The one I'm using is slightly smaller, but I have the phone in a rugged case that comes up over the edges and meets the glass protector, so I don't even notice it.

I got the body glove screen protector. Also has the halo effect.

Can you post a pic of yours please.

My wife's seems that it doesn't stick around the edges properly.

Hi, will try capture it just know, haven't got another decent camera... But I agree with that sentiment that the glass is not sticking around the edges.
