So I had a question, would the true Samsung Galaxy Tab3 10.1 inch screen protector fit a
Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 inch tablet?
I read some mixed responses online with people stating they would not fit, etc.
Answer: Absolutely! There is an extra small hole next to the camera, for a light-sensor on the Galaxy Tab3, that the Tab4 doesn't require, otherwise they are essentially identical screen protectors!
This is great, because you can pick up the Tab3 10.1 inch protectors on sale a lot of the time, as the Tab3 is an older unit, and just fit it to your Tab4 and save some cash.
Target are currently selling them in-store for $10 for a limited time, usually a crazy $20 for two screen protectors, so you can save 50% off there, or $5 a screen protector if you want to think of it that way as there are 2 in each pack.
They are a high quality screen protector by the manufacturer, and come with squeegee, lint-free cloth, and, interestingly, 2 stickers to help you capture rogue dust particles. Very thoughtful Samsung.
If you are the truly daring type, they are very large, and you could potentially cut them VERY carefully (BEFORE peeling the backing away), and make your own screen protectors for smaller devices, like phones if you don't mind the ghetto approach, you could easily make 4 protectors from just one of these, or $1.25 each with some home arts-and-crafts. You would need an exacto-knife or similar for accurate cuts.
My advice is to clean your screen VERY well, do not leave grease from hands etc. as it can be invisible, but will stop the screen protector adhesive bonding properly in certain places, and reduce the life of the protector if it starts peeling away.
When applying screen protectors, keep them up on a table in a dust-free area in front of you, do not hover over them, or skin / hair particles etc. can fall onto the screen, and mess up your application of the protector.
I can also now confirm that Target is still selling the Tab3 covers (which include a very basic built-in stand) for $15. These will fit the Tab4 perfectly, but does read "GALAXY Tab3" on the cover, which may lose a few e-points in style. Otherwise excellent value as most decent covers start off around $30-40 otherwise and this is the real thing.
