Can anyone give a review on bodyguardz Pure?

I got the pure installed on my phone. The glass feel is great. I could never go back to a plastic film protector or Zagg style protector. Never felt the glas.t for comparison with SGP. I would definitely recommend it and would buy again in future.

Original install was not perfect because it was hard to align with the film protecting the front of the glass (made it hard to see the button border and line up). Also I got a lint hair under the skin.

The screen protector is forgiving. 2 days after install I took it off, used a lint roller to remove the hair and clean the adhesive of any new lint from removal, and put it back on. Without the top film on the glass it was easy to do a perfect install because you can move it after you set it down on the screen to get perfect alignment.

Recommendations: 1) take off both pieces of film from the glass for install. 2) don't hesitate to remove and use tape or lint roller to remove hair / lint / dust. 3) after you drop the glass you can move it slightly before you press down to "adhere" it to the glass.
 
I could also say I love the pure screen protector, it feels amazing, I'd say it feels like the original glass of the phone if not better, fingers slide across nicely. I too have never tried the sgp though for comparison however I don't think I need to after using this one. I would definitely buy this again, I would almost never go back to a plastic screen protector or zagg crap. Install was quite simple and easy, and I am one of the worst at installing screen protectors. Also the finger resistant coding seems to be holding up in my experience. I have not yet seen a finger print or grease mark on my screen, but I'm also gentle and wash my hands frequently, especially before touching my phone. Overall I'd give this screen protector a good recommendation. The only negative I could probably find is that the glass is quite thick, you can definitely feel it when you touch the home button. But I feel like my finger fits nicely into the home button spot, gives a little added grip. Great glass screen protector, a must have!
 
I ended up ordering (again) from sw-box.com.

Back and front protector combo for $1.38. Front only for 78¢ each.

I used their protectors for two years on my iPhone 4, and was incredibly happy with them. Shipping takes a little while if you choose free, but the products are quality.
 
for those who've done wet installs before: do they damage the screen long term? is it safe to use dish soap? thanks
 
Hey mzd, i'll buy it if it is the carbon fiber one? Or the transluscent either. ;)
I'm in France, how much do i have to add for a fast deliver?
 
Have to say my experience with BodyGuardz has been very disappointing. Ordered my back and side protector on the 23rd of September, shipped to Toronto on the 25th. Now 3 weeks on i still have not received it. Contacted there support and i was told it could take up to 30 business days! I would understand if it was shipping to Europe.

Definitely not worth the $13 i paid for them to ship an A4 envelope at the most, especially when you compare to Monoprice who shipped me 4 ink cartridges from California for $5.88 and it arrived in 7 days!
 
In the us it doesn't come in an a4 envelope but not sure about where you are. Hang in there :)
 
I ordered my HD screen protector on September 28. Nothing so far. :( I'm in Montreal, Canada.
 
Looks like there are no more codes. I spoke to a customer service rep.

I wanted to buy a Pure screen protector for a friend, but at $40 I do not know if he will go for it.
