Just ordered a bunch of SGP ultra-oleophobic and AR "knock offs" from ithrough.com, they are 1/3 the original price and there are many positive reviews.

Also got some other knock off cases, the incipio silicrylic, candy shell, switcheasy trim, the capsule rebel, sgp neo hybrid bumper and the speck pixelskin. Since the reception in my country is pretty bad, I decided to give up on the e13ctron case, functionality over looks. I will try all those good looking knockoffs instead.

Will report back in few weeks.

When you get those SGP screen protectors. Let us know whats inside. Because on the site, the pictures have a one front and one back. But I know from SGP site, it comes with two front only. Please let me know! I want another sgp protector, but I messed up on installs on both sides. Too much dust on it which messed it up :(

Yeah I know that, and did it too! but there was just tooo much dust all over, it just wouldnt work. What a waste of money.
 
I really like the Zagg Invisible Shield, they're $20 forthe front and back and they come with a spray bottle, a squeegee, and a small cloth. Plus their warranty is awesome. Anyone know of another "softer" screen protector that comes with a lifetime warranty?

SGP, but no lifetime warranty.
 
just installed PS anti-glare HD. and oh my god!!! NO FINGER PRINTS!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D my install had a speck of dust in it, but luckily they included some sticker type thing and i used that to remove the dust. Perfect install again. only downfall is that there is like a 5% fuzzy-ness added but i dont mind that.

A lot of people don't like the Zagg shields, but for $20 I don't ever have to buy another screen protector again. I like the soft feel, and have been having a little trouble with the back protector not staying put, but I guess I will just have to get Zagg to send me a new one once a month.

wrap sol makes a better product and same lifetime warranty, it does cost 5 bucks every time you get a replacement so it isnt free just cheap
 
Used to use Zagg shield on my ipods back in the day...IMHO people can do much better for that price. The rainbow effect is pretty pronounced, and to the touch it just feels so thick and rubbery. But I could live with that if it the sides and corners didn't ALWAYS start peeling and trapping dust over time. The pristine look will only last a week or two before the grime starts accumulating.

This time around for my Verizon iPhone I did more research and the power support protectors get about as good reviews as you will find. I plan on using the crystal one and not the anti glare....I hope it's not insanely difficult to align properly! That's one thing the zaggs were good at due to wet application, you could move it around if you didn't get it right.

Installation is easy but I will say it's pretty hard to get the cutouts to align perfectly. I did 2 of them and each one took me at least 10 minutes with repeated attempts at getting the cutouts aligned but I ended up just settling with them "almost" perfect. The cutouts are in line with what they are supposed to line up with but are just a hair off.
 
Also I will add that i've been using the power support crystal for about 7-10 days and it's already got scratches. I am very particular about my iPhone and it's always carried in my front pocket by itself or it's laying on my desk at work. I wipe it often with a sunglasses type microfiber cloth to keep it clean but it's got a lot of scratches. I treated it the same way when I had the screen bare and the screen had one tiny scratch and that was with 8 months of use with nothing on the screen.

you cant get the best of both worlds, the screen protector is there to protect your screen not give you a anti scratch protection either way i us ps and i dont have but like on scratch on it from sliding on table without case.

This is why I swap my screen shield every few weeks.. I use cheapos because even the expensive ones will get scratched pretty easily
 
Anyone know the amount of protection a switcheasy screen protector gives? And what's the amount of protection it gives for yor screen like compared to cheapo sp or SGP?

I just got my first replacement from Zagg. Free.

Yeah, right! Free to the tune of $3 and change for shipping, and they ship from 60 miles away from where I live. Do that every month, and you're out over $40 a year, for "free" stuff.

Oh, I forgot, you have to ship back your old ones, so add that too.

Crap. I will sell the replacement on ebay and go naked on the front and probably white on the back. Clear nail polish over the metal edge, and that's it.

Basta!

Wait, how much is nail polish?
 
I have a Zagg front protector and I love it, I do not mind the orange peel effect or the rubberized effect, and the installation was easy and it looks flawless, the reason why I dont like the sticker protectors (SGP, Martin field,etc) is that because of the air bubbles, and how everytime i put one on, I always get air bubbles.

Hi,
Where did you see user reviews there, because I can't see even one.
Also I'm wondering - are these cases are more knocked-off than many ebay Candyshells, Trims etc that cost much more (twice at least).
