Glass screen protector

Hey I was wanting to get a glass screen protector for my note 3 and was wondering if the work alright. Can I still use my s pen and will the touch screen still work with no problems
 
My s pen still works great I've had a glass screen protector on my note 2 since Sept
 
Best one to get IMO is a tempered glass one. They work perfect. Just be careful with your phone in say your back pocket. If you bend over, or sit down, etc. the stress will very slightly bend the phone breaking the seal between them causing an irreversible bubble. Ask me how I know. I have to get my replacement bodyguardz next.
 
Ok cool how about touch do all your buttons work fine

Yes just fine, it came with a home button sticker which I originally used but ended up taking off. Every time I put it in my pocket the raised button would cause my phone to turn on.
 
Both film and tempered glass screen protectors will work fine with s-pen, though back when I was testing some cheap PET film screen protectors early on with my Note 2 - I found some ended up with scratch marks when using s-pen.

The main difference: film protector will protect from scratches, while glass protector will provide impact protection. The whole idea of tempered glass is to absorb the impact and to shatter (if it's too strong) without cracking your $200-$300 display. Also, the quality tempered glass protectors have a thin layer of film which keeps the broken piece of glass together so they don't spread around.
