BUY THIS PROTECTOR!! Edit: with caveats...
This is for the tempered glass variantI'm very happy with this screen protector, it's cheap and Amazon Prime ships this fast. I would rate it on par with top tier glass protectors from any other brand, but at sometimes less than a third of the cost. BUY THIS!Edit: It is a very solid offering for the price, just know that you will need to be extremely careful when applying this, making sure to align the cutout exactly with the home button and the edges of the phone. You will need to do all of this the first time you adhere it to the phone without fail, also making sure that any pieces of of dust, lint, or hair are not trapped between the screen and the protector, as they will likely be impossible to remove, and will potentially greatly affect your enjoyment of this screen protector.The home cutout in the protector hugs the home button pretty tightly, so if you aren't precise, you may end up with the protector overlapping the home button, thus making it impossible to seal the protector to the screen completely, also due to the imperfect nature with which all silicone based adhesives work, the holding power of the screen protector adhesive is greatly reduced if you have too peel it up for any reason.A specific example in this instance is when I reapplied the screen protector on my phone after failing to perfectly align it the first time. As it is impossible to just slide the protector across the surface of the screen, I had to slip a fingernail under the top corner cutout around the headset speaker and front facing camera row, this may have warped the glass slightly in doing so. When I got it properly aligned again and re-stuck it, the top two corners I had to pry on did not properly stick like they did on the first application, leaving what at first looks to be an air bubble, very unsightly IMO, but perfectly functional. This I believe is due to both the slight warping of the glass, and the damage to the silicone adhesive on the back from having to remove it.As of right now, I know of no other product which uses a different type or formulation of silicone that would be more forgiving to reapplication. Even so, I re-rated my review for 4 stars instead of 5 because this protector is not absolutely perfect, this is because I believe the compensation for the probability for human error is not adequately covered. But just know that for the price you pay, if you are extremely careful applying it, and feel you can perfectly apply it the first time, or are willing to live with the consequences if you can't, than this is an amazing screen protector for the money.

Ballistic Glass Review
Company Positive Rant:Just give this very affordable and very excellent product for the price you're getting it at WITH a LIFETIME warranty. I've bought so many screen protectors from this company because of their price, quality, and super amazing customer service. I mess up applying screen protectors all the time because of dust or just rushing it at times and they always send me more when I ask. It takes a couple business days in total to get it to your door. $15 for lifetime protection for your Note 3 screen which costs around $200 to repair, I'll take it.Product Review:This is the my first glass type screen protector and I love it. The clarity of my screen is really really nice. It's clear and bright and I love using it. The feeling of the glass is nice, they have some protective coating on or something that makes it not a fingerprint magnet like the original glass. There will be some smudges building up but not much, I personally have oily hands so this is normally a problem to me. It's really easy to wipe off as well. As I take it in and out of my pocket, that motion against my pants pocket wipes the phone so my phone is almost without any smudges all the time. I messed up my first one and so I decided to try and scratch it with keys and stuff and I didn't really notice any scratches. I'm sure if you apply like a really strong scratch then of course it will but for regular use, I'm not afraid of it scratching my screen protector let alone my actual screen. I'm sure it could also handle a lot of direct impacts as well. Luckily I didn't have that happen yet although I do have spare screen protectors as I wait for a new free glass replacement one. It fits very nicely and covers most of the screen, everything besides to the top ear speaker, camera and sensors. They made it symmetric as well so the top left looks a little exposed but it doesn't really matter as long as the screen is covered.My Application Process with slight tips from my mistake:I always somehow have one little piece of dust somewhere no matter how hard I try to clean dust from my environment before applying it. It includes an alcohol wipe, polishing microfiber cloth, and dust removal tape. Make sure your enviroment is dust free and have nothing blowing around, use the alcohol wipe which is very dry so it won't damage anything but will do it's job by cleaning and evaporating very quickly. Use that to get rid of any oils and anything else on your screen. Then use the microfiber cloth to wipe down your phone from streaks and other things. I like to make long strokes over the entire screen when I'm about to put my screen protector on to make sure every little piece of dust will fall off the top side. It's very important that you clean your hands with soap first so you will have minimum oils on them before placing the glass on. Hold the glass on the sides only, don't touch the ahesive side. Pull off the cover where the sticker is placed and line the glass up on a long side as well as where the button is. Since our phone is really big, it was a little hard. I failed the first one because when I tried aligning it with the button mainly, a slight misalign made the screen protector slightly go onto the raised silver bump we have. When that happened, the screen protector would not go down no matter how hard I pushed it down so be carefull about that. I kept trying to fix it but that's when dust got in and if you keep lifting the glass off then it will become a little bent up in the corner you use and would not stick down either. So the better you line it up and get it right the first time, the better. Just try to keep the screen protector as close to the screen as possible to line it up and then drop it down on the bottom side and let it all fall, press the middle and make a small plus (+) sign with your finger and it will magically adhere itself with minimum bubbles if any and if it's perfect then continue to press out any bubbles. Use the card and microfiber cloth to press everything flat and then just use the microfiber cloth to continue to push everything down to make sure it's secure. Now you can enjoy the super nice screen protector.Home Button Sticker:There is an optional raised sticker for the home button. It was a little hard to align properly so I could see the nice metal part of the home button but I was able to get it on ok after playing around with it. I had to deform it very slightly so I could see most of the metal border underneath and it's very sticky so it won't fall off anytime soon. It is a really nice feeling, smooth, shiny, button. They added this because the glass is a little thicker than your average screen protector but thinner than even some other glass ones. It just makes pressing the home button enjoyable and easy.Everything works fine, there's no loss of sensitivity with using your finger nor the s-pen. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that likes their phone and don't like fingerprints but don't like the darker matte finish one. It's also much better protection for impacts than a plain screen protector. I think it's more scratch resistant as well.
