At the end of the day I’m sure all the Notes are very similar devices, but i’m glad the note+ exists.
Thank you for your comments. Well-grounded. The real test for the glaring issue is sitting in the sun, though. I am sure an IPad, for example, is more than less crap for that (sure, frontlight versus LED). But actually, I am now remembering that my old OB device 6‘‘ had glass and frontlight as well and there was absolutely no issue with glaring in broad daylight.

So, writing on glass seems good enough for you. I think it is not much worse than without it.

On a sidenote, sometimes screen protectors can save your life. Once I let my Ipad (in a case) fall from a table, the glass suffered one small (but not very small) crack. It continued to function well like before. Put screen protector on it, and the device could live on for the longest time, although I have to be more careful than before about stuffing it for transport.

Just noticed that you ordered from Onyx, where are you from? North America or Europe? Any taxes paid in addition to the price announced by them on their site?
