This post changed my mind from the SGB Oleo, thanks!

There is no better screen film made better than Power Support and I guarantee 2 thirds of this forum would agree if they ever used them.

Searcg for screen film threads there was one asking which is the best and PS won that by more than double the votes of any other.

I will be ordering this Friday when the check comes.

I did not know they made a back film and now that I know that I am 100% sold again... I have PS on all my iPhones and will use them for years to come.
 
Are the power support screen protectors made like the invis shield ones? I ask because I am pretty much sold on the kit (thanks to the OP) but I want to just use this and the bumper. I'm just curious if the edges are going to peel up like the IS screen protectors do. I know that SGP protectors do not, but because of the crappy material IS are made out of, the bumpers and cases seem to be peeling them up.


Thanks again OP, ordering mine as we speak!

Why Not?

Something about the "iPhone 4 not needing them" and about their new glass (blah blah blah). It's a huge mistake that I think might cause problems down the road. When I got my 3G the screen protectors were also easy to buy from them. Now that people can't buy them there, some might not think they will need them. They might regret that months down the road when something silly happens!

IS is a wet application (if that is the one you are talking about) whereas PS is a "static cling" type. It shouldn't peel up or have that orange peel effect. Everyone says PS feels just like the glass and part of this is probably because it is a firmer piece of plastic where IS is a film that isn't really firm (more "floppy").

So my guess is that PS will not have this problem. Just make sure that it is installed correctly and that no edge or corner is sticking over the edge! One of my 3G ones was like this and it made it easy for dust to get under. But that was because I didn't apply it centered :p

The Insibleshield is beer as to the Power Support films are champagne. Yeah, that big of a difference.

Which store did you buy them from? I'm trying to beat their exorbitant shipping.

Currently, the only people that are selling it is PowerSupportUSA themselves, unless someone walks in to buy a ton of them (not sure if they have much stock if so many people keep ordering them, seems like they can't keep up with the orders right now).

I am betting that it will be sold through other vendors in time. Amazon doesn't usually carry it.

That looks fantastic.

Anyone know where Canadians can get Power Support protectors? Their site quotes me a $20.50 shipping! :(

I'll settle for SGP if there isn't any place else I can get PS.

I KNOW!!! ridiculous. i sent them an email about it saying how the SGP was cheaper and had $5 shipping to Canada. we'll see what they say....i also asked them if any stores would be carrying it.
 
Looking good though i wish the hole for he home button a bit smaller. It'd look better, dont't you think?

send them an email too..for the sake of all Canadian
 
Looks awesome. Mine shipped today, hoping I receive it tomorrow.... Tried the invisibleshield but hated it.

One question for anyone who knows - is it possible to remove a protector and reinstall it later? Or are they pretty much one time use? Thanks!
 
I guess it's feasible to take it off and re-use it. It doesn't warp if you correctly take it off with tape... but wouldn't recommend it. You'd get dust everywhere.
 
Thanks. I'm hoping I can try both the anti glare and crystal to see which I like better.
 
The other thread has pics of what the crystal looks like.

I've always been a fan of their anti-glare though. Have had it on my ipod touch for a while. Smooth finish and less reflections means less time having to wipe off fingerprints. I can even use it outdoors, etc, etc.

While it does lower overall clarity, you still get good detail with matte anti-glares (I can read the tiny letters abcdef on the apple contacts icon through the casemate's anti-glare film I'm using as a placeholder).
 
Thanks for the review.

One thing I'm interested in is how different the PS is to the SGP in terms of what is uses to apply itself.
Static cling is something that PS mentions, is the SGP more sticky so to speak?
 
I wonder how the new PS compares to wrapsol. I know people have discussed this before on this forum, but none of them had seen the new PS. If the thread starter has also tried wrapsol for iPhone 4, could you please comment on the difference between the two. In particular I am wonderingg which one is be thinner. Thanks so much!

Same here, the site hosting them must be down or the photos themselves have been removed.

The photos on my end look fine, could it be that photobucket does not display in certain countries? Let me know and I'll try to fix it.

I've read elsewhere that putting bumpers and other cases have made these things bubble.

Before I installed the power support one, I was using my phonedevil 3GS protector and the Speck Products pixelskin HD made it bubble.

But...on the rear I installed the updated bestskinsever and used the pixelskin for 5 days and there were no issues whatever with the back, I was surprised because I know that others said there were issues with cases and rear clear protectors.

Does your bumper feel loose on your phone with the Power Support protectors on? I'm reading conflicting reports that some bumpers are loose.
 
I had an anti-glare for my 1st gen iPhone, iPhone 3GS and plan on getting it for my iPhone 4. Did you get the back piece also? if so, any pics? hopefully the anti-glare doesn't take away from the retina display, even with the new HD anti-glare screen. Anyone who gets it today, post pics.
