Glossy or matt finished screen guard for Samsung galaxy note 2? Tips for smoother touch screen experience!

We all have always wanted better touch experience on our smartphones and have tried various mods and apps to change the sensitivity of the screen. But once we have applied a screen guard over the phone none of these help a lot and we have to face the problems of screen guards. Whether its the glossy one or the matte finished screen guards both come with their own sets of problems.

For some time many people have started using matte finished screen guards as they are very smooth to glide fingers over and does not end up with finger prints. They are also anti glare so reduce the amount of glare on the screen caused by reflection of external light.

But these matte finished screen guards make the screen look pixelated, unclear, less sharp and also less colourful. While using the S pen most of these matte finished screen guards don't allow for a smooth flow of the S pen. Hence the charm of having a touch screen mobile phone like Note 2 is lost.


The glossy screen guard on the other hand is a finger print magnet and doesn't remain much smooth after some time.  The screen though looks great with glossy screen guards. The colours are vibrant, clarity is superb and sharpness is maintained.

So how to get best of both worlds. A simple home grown solution will make our touchscreen experience as good as the newly purchased phone without any damage to the original screen.

Get a glossy screen guard installed on your note 2 or if you already have a glossy screen guard installed clean it with a moistened soft cloth. Clean it to dry using a soft dry cloth. Now sprinkle a very small amount of talcum powder or boric powder on the screen with glossy screen guard. Spread it on the screen using your finger. Wipe gently with a dry soft cloth and voila the screen is smooth as butter and looks as good as new.
