So, I ended up running over my Note 3 with the creeper last week. Cracked the side of the screen. Was bad enough it damaged the corner of my UAG case too.
Fortunately (for the second time now) I had a tempered glass screen protector on it. I was certain that I cracked the screen underneath but, when I took off the protector, the screen underneath was perfect.

The first cracked protector was from a drop face first on to a rock on the driveway. That one was from etrade supply, same thickness but no-name brand I think. Picked it up along with the parts to fix this http://forums.beyond.ca/st/377992/shattered-cell-phone-glass/

^^^ that pic goes with the shattered cell phone thread, body was bent, etc...expensive. Tempered glass probably would have inserted itself in my ass before protecting the phone with that fall.
In any case, I'd highly recommend getting one of these to protect your phone. I've been getting the .33mm ones from InSkin on Amazon.
Also, with the Note series, the pen works a lot nicer on the glass and the plastic protectors. I found the plastic ones had too much friction and the tip of the pen would wear down.
