Does the glastr sit higher than the case?
Here's mine. As much as I like this, I think the Bodyguardz Pure might be the better option. It is half as thick as the Glas.t.r and although more expensive initially it has replacements at $12.95. So should fit better with most cases as well as being able to get a cheaper replacement if you botch the install.

I did my usual set up with the steamy bathroom and lined my protector pretty close to perfect. But even as careful as I was and as clean as I got my screen, I did get two tiny particles of dust under the protector. Nothing serious and no bubbles so at this point I'm happy but would have been ecstatic if if was completely dust free.

Hi. I have the Bodyguardz Pure (glass protector like the Glas.t) and also had dust / lint stuck under screen. I took a chance popping the screen protector off, using tape and a lint roller, and reinstalling. It got the lint and the reinstall lined up perfect.
If SGP uses a similar adhesive, don't fear removing and reinstalling. I went from slightly crooked w/ lint to perfect.
What case are you using in that picture? Incase Slider?
I got it in the mail yesterday and when I cleaned up my iPhone to get it ready, I noticed a few small scratches on my screen. Really couldn't believe that it was scratched so soon and can't even think of how it got scratched. So for the ones that go without a protector and say they never get scratches - I'm glad for you but have not had the same experience and I'm really very careful with my stuff (a little on the anal side).
I live in the LA and went by he SGP offices and picked up the glas.tR and ultra slim soft clear case. I'm not a huge fan of screen protectors but read many great reviews and wanted to give it a try. After a few days I have decided that I wanted off my phone. Yes it feels great, just like the iPhone glass but I think I would just rather use the iPhone glass. In my opinion this screen protector takes away from many of the iPhone 5's great improvements. This thing is thick and heavy. With it installed it feels like a 4s. Not that this is so bad but it is noticeably heavier. You can really tell how heavy it is when you remove it. Back to my light iPhone 5. The protector is so thick that the home button is recessed. I did not like the feel of the included home button attachment nor did it look good. Just looked and felt strange.
I'm glad I tried out but even more glad to have removed it. The ultra thin case however is a keeper. It is so minimal you can't even tell you have a case on. It does scratch easily though. Be careful.

Sorry but what a load of poo. If you honestly believe describing a thin sheet of glass as "thick and heavy" isn't totally silly then there is no hope for you. Now thicker than a plastic film sure, but I am looking at mine now with my BG glass protector and can't really tell it's on. Touching it is a different story but I have no issue with the very thin extra layer (only noticed when actuating the home button of course) to keep the same awesome glass repsonsivness and feel.
As for the depressed home button that is valid. I've personally gotten used to it and like how it "guides" my thumb to the button.
The BG Pure has such a replacement offer. I believe a new one will run you $12, a very small price to pay IMHO. PLUS you may be able to take it off and re-apply but that's a bit tricky.However, untill one of the glass protectors can give a similar warranty, I'll likely just keep my phone naked and rely on Apple Care+ if something happens to it.

I found myself not likeing my i without the glass protector on there simply for the "guide" reason alone. I got used to and started to like the extra lip on the home button.
For those of you reading this the BG is a far superior product to glass T original, can't speak to the new rounded one. I however, after having 2 glass T's (the first one had the adhesive issue and was replaced) won't be going back to it unless the Pure lets me down in some way but it is better in every aspect so far.

is this really better than the Bodyguardz's Pure?
So far there hasn't been any detailed direct comparisons...I'd also like to know this as the Bodyguardz is 1.5x cheaper than the Spigen when applying the coupon code. Specifically, how does the Bodyguardz Pure compare to the Glas.tr in terms of fit, feel, clarity, oil & fingerprint resistance, thickness, and weight? Are they essentially the same quality?
I currently have the SPG Glas.t.r. on my phone as I mentioned, I have a good install but not good enough. I have ordered the BG Pure and will report back once I have it on.
