It's such a mistake that they didn't use the same static cling film on the rear as they did the front. It's also a shame that they covered up the flash. It's pretty obvious that the refraction of the LED onto the film would distort the picture quality taken from the phone.

Poor R&D from another company just trying to make a quick buck.

I definitely can't wait for PowerSupport to bring out their front and rear film. Based on their history, you know they'll get it right the first time.

SGP Steinheil EX Ultracrystal (not incredible shield) pics showing the bluish color discoloration problem caused by not having a hole for the flash

NOTE:This is for the EX ultracrystal (hard back screen) not the incredible shield ultra coat (soft back screen)


pics with the back screen on (ie flash covered by screen)

pics with the screen off (ie flash not covered)

I can hardly notice the differnce, can you? :rolleyes:


BTW, I emailed Sgpstore.com customer service alerting them to this post and the above issue - we'll see what happens

If you want the static cling just get the Steinheil EX Ultra Crystal instead of the Incredible Shield, how is that a "mistake?" They offer both products and it is the buyer's choice. I do agree about thee need for cutouts though.

Check out the awesome photos with the SGP shield in the post above you. That blue tint looks so awesome.

Have fun throwing money at trash made by companies only looking to make a quick buck instead of creating a quality product. You don't need anything more than basic college degree to understand the light refraction issues that would come with a less than 98% clear film on it.

Obviously, the company didn't do any basic R&D.

I said I agreed with you about the need for cutouts, buddy. And I definitely will not be purchasing from this company unless they correct that. I was merely stating that they do offer a product that has the same static cling film for the rear, which is a fact.

So we agree that it's a horrible product. :)

Yep, agreed, at least for now! Some of their previous products have gotten good reviews and look great in youtube vids so I'm not counting them out yet, I would still consider them if they update their design and include the proper cutouts. There's a lot of pressure on companies to get their accessories out ASAP for release, with people on here complaining all the time about not having protection from day 1, so it's understandable that things could be overlooked. Hopefully it will be rectified!

Everyone needs to be careful about buying rear protectors that don't have a cutout for the flash AND cutouts that are too small since even a small amount of film will transfer the light to the lens.

Thanks for the info. I bought the EX UltraCrystal for my iPad as I was getting their Vintage case anyway, and have been very impressed by it... I've always gone for Power Support in the past.

But your pics have saved me making an order too soon, so cheers for that! We'll see what they say, if it's not to be corrected I'm back with PS.

Yesterday I received the Ultra Crystal Clear screen protector and it didn't have a cut out for the front facing camera either.

I just find it stupid because it was announced on the very first day and they make it without holes for the front and the back??

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY yet. Wait.

I also emailed them and see what they will say as well. I'll post if they do right back. We'll see if they want to make things right.

Well, I have the EX Ultra Crystal on the way. :( I may just use a hole punch to solve the problem until Power Support releases theirs. I was planning on get that anyway unless I really liked the SGP one.

Just sent in an email to cancel my order. Hopefully they will release one with a hole for the flash.

If they won't do anything about my screen protector it says there is a 30 day money back guarantee. I'll just pay for the shipping back and get my money back.

It seems like they just rushed these out to be one of the first to have them.

All, I emailed them 2 days ago and have not received a response. I could not find a phone number on their web site, but there was one on my paypal receipt.

They are in California so you will probably have to wait a couple hours to call them. I am going to return it and ask for refund.


I did get a ZAGG full body (no side side protector / signal booster!) invisible shield also and it has the proper cutouts. I may just stick with the IS w/ bumpers. However, I really wanted something with a matte finish. I think the matte finish allows your fingers to slide easier.

What is so great about power support, I have never used them. And will they offer a full body kit (back/front/sides)?

I'm still waiting on my EX ultra clear to come in. Sad to know that the missing cutouts can cause the flash to refract like that. I think I'll just use a hole punch on the back. It's not such a big deal.

This is disappointing with no cut outs :(
But I also plan to do the hole punch thing, and hopefully they will correct this issue..
