Does anyone else have this issue with the SGP EX Crystal? Pics...

Have you tired pushing it down with your fingernail (a lot?)

Sounds like it's defective. Send SGP an email with these pics and see what they say.

hm maybe remove it. reinstall it with the wet method then blow dry it to let the adhesive cure again?

I did have issues with the speaker and home button not laying down on both screen shields. I sent SGP an email with these pics and they sent me the Oleophobic as replacement.



***Glad I chose to get the SGP Ultra Oleophobic for a replacement because they are amazing compared to the EX Crystal screen shields IMO.***

I had a very similar issue with mine. 2 back screens one front, so basically 3 out of the 4 in the package had an issue (didn't try the second front). Luckily I was able to get a perfect application of an oleophobic film after the first one appeared to have had bubbles on part of the adhesive. Too bad I didn't take pictures of that one. I also tried everything to get the edge to stay. The front film had an interesting line running parallel to the bottom and right corner that I couldn't get rid of either. I'm still awaiting a reply from SGP after I sent them pictures.

Only around the earpiece cutout ... but, yep, can't "fix" it.

I had the same issues with the ear phone cut out and the home button cut out. I could not get them to stick no matter what I tried.
I tried to deal with sgp but they where just so bad with their customer service that I just returned the protectors for a refund.

I currently have a switch easy screen protector (came with the nude) on the phone, which went on with no issues. No issues around the home button or earphone area.

Im going to order a PS soon.

they have been known to do this. you need to contact them and send them these pictures because it seems to be happening more and more and if they don't know about they can't do anything about it.

I am about to forward them pictures of mine to get replacements for the iPhone and iPad.

personally I think some screens have this problem and others do not, may be the screen itself, just a guess but do contact them!

I bought an Ex set to use on my phone and my wifes phone. I had that issue on the back that I installed on mine and the front on hers. The other two pieces of film went on perfectly. On my phone I have switched to a power support set and will probably do the same thing with my wifes phone. It was very frustrating with the SGP films and I was disappointed with them.

i had the same problem with 2 of the EX films I received and it's easier to get through to the whitehouse than it is to SGp's CS

same problem but mine was around the ear piece. i just switched to power support and now is perfect!

I am on my 4th SGP Ultra and none of them have adhered properly around the earpiece and home button. They actually sent me two free sets, so I am going to try 5 and 6 so see if I get lucky. If not, then I'm going Power Support.

Same for me. I emailed their support twice and never received a reply. I ordered the Power Suport crystal films and I am much happier with their product. No bubbles and the easiest dry install EVER!

to be fair, mine went on brilliantly... so yours is definitely not normal and you should get it replaced.

I even lifted the front of mine up again using the tape to remove a speck of dust that had snuck in and it went back down again perfectly.


So far very happy!

sucks for u dude mine went on perfectly. u got a defect send it back they'll give u a replacement that is if they respond to their dam emails

I've got the same issue (a very thin line where it's not adhering to the glass) across the left edge of my phone. I even tried pulling off the first one and replacing it completely with the other front and it has the same problem. Very disappointing.

Yep!

Had some issues with mine too around the edges and also with them with the bumper on. Replaced the SPG with the Powersupport films and have been happy ever since. No lifting and works great with the bumper

Im having the same issues, in the same exact spots. Since I have a bumper on the side issues dont really bother me because I can't see it. The issue around the home button is what gets me. May have to look into another brand to replace

They did finally respond a week after my initial e-mail, so i sent in pictures. After not hearing from them for another week I called them and explained the issue and the lady looked for my e-mail with the pictures, but couldn't find it. She still sent me out replacements screens and it even came with extra. Maybe I got lucky but calling them helped a ton.

Exact same problem as the original post. The original back film was fine but it had the flash problem. Got a free replacement back with the flash cutout and it won't lay flat along the edges. Guess it's time for a different company's product...

yep, the same. Not quite to the extent of the OP.

I got and installed my front screen protector (Ultra Clear Crystal), and the bottom left corner has this issue. I tried squeegeeing it down, tried flattening it down for a few minutes, fingernails, no change.

Oh well. Guess it'll tide me over till I find a better solution.
