I think it's because of how thick Zagg screen protectors are.
The built in screen protector will likely barely touch the screen so it shouldn't bubble too much. I tend to put cheaper/thinner anti-glare screen protectors on, then use the defender case and there are no bubbles at all.
The built in SP doesn't stick to the SP already installed.
That's how I've always done it.
That's what my brother did and I told him he might as well have gotten the commuter instead

I hate screen protectors. Come on, we have gorilla glass and probably won't keep the phone for more than a year or two. Who are you protecting it for the next guy? It sort of reminds of the women that would put clear plastic on all their furniture. Set yourself free and enjoy your phone in all of its glory.

For me, I just don't like the idea of huge scratches (Gorilla glass will scratch).
Plus if the glass does break, if it's got a screen protector it will help keep the glass on the phone. You'll be able to keep using it until you can replace it.
I did that with my old Motorola Triumph. It kept working for 3 months until the phone I wanted came out.
Actually yes i am protecting for next guy, when i sell phone for something better. 6 months to a year is usually the average life of my phones. And gorilla glass can scratch, may not be as easy but it is possible.

My screen protector did the same, so I popped it out. I complained to Otterbox and they are sending me a replacement case. Go here to fill out a warranty claim. OtterBox Warranty | OtterBox.com

I actually like the built-in screen protector. But I have the same issue as you. It does barely touch the screen.
Hmmm. I may do that as well. Thanks!
Are u saying i got a fault case? This is my first Otterbox case. Is it suppose to be flushed with the screen? I thought it was normal for them to hover like that.
If its faulty then i guess ill fill out warranty papers
Every otterbox defender I've tried on iPhones have been flush with the screen. I spoke to an otterbox rep about the screen hovering over my note 2 and she said it's not supposed to be like that. But it seems to be the issue with all Note 2 defenders.

I ended up sending my Otter box back because the screen protector was too popped out. I had to scroll very hard to get my screen to respond.

I'll be sticking with my pocket case for now.

Try the commuter its really good and protection is great
:ditto:... I really can't imagine anyone not liking the Commuter Case ...
... either with; or without; the supplied screen protector ...

I know! My only gripe is the lack of color selection.
With the Commuter Case for the Galaxy Note 2 being a fairly new release from Otterbox ...
... it wouldn't surprise me to see more colors available for the N2 sometime in the future.
... probably the same for the Defender Case ...

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing.
I would really hate to have to send it back since it was like 4 days late. i guess if all the note 2 otterboxes have SP problems then i can manage with it. Just didn't want to be one of the ones with a faulty case
