NEW Spigen SGP GLAS.t'R' Screen Protector

BergerFan said:
I have this and it feels genuinely better than the naked screen.
Apple needs to use whatever oleo-phobic coating SGP put on this, as it's way more effective, for much, much longer, than the coating on the naked screen.

I installed mine, lint and dust free, but it's mis-aligned by a millimetre, which is mildly irritating.
I tweeted SGP, suggesting they could include an alignment aid, akin to the top half of a slider case, measured so that you simply rest the GLAS.tR against it for perfect alignment everytime.
I got no reply, so look out for it soon! :D

That would be amazing for all of us out there with varying degrees of OCD. :) It took me 3 of these babies before I figured out the hinge method and while I did manage a lint and bubble free installation, mine is also very slightly misaligned and it is mildly irritating to me too! (but not irritating enough that I want to buy another one and possibly get lint under the screen lol).

They answered on fb with the screen protector thickness, and that it exactly covers the iPhone display glass.

So.. I don't know. It's possible that my case will push on it.

Bodyguardz covers the Pure glass screen protector for returns, so if it doesn't work with your case, you can return it. If you can wait, I emailed BodyGuardz and they said they will be having a 40% off sale on Black Friday, which would bring the $40 down to $24, and if you are a returning customer down to $19. I'll be doing that to see if it works with my Grove case, and I'm pretty sure I've seen that you have the Twig case.
 
I just bought one of these and an Incipio Feather. Can anyone confirm if it will fit, I did not check before hand as it was a spur of the moment purchase.
 
Hey guys. Do you know what case this person has on his iPhone? it's on his GLAS.tR video seems pretty slick. Around 1:15 on the video.


I'm rocking the Ultra Thin and it's amazing!
 
I do, thanks. It might be prohibitive to ship the Bodyguardz to Canada though.

How did you do it? I tried it once and it didn't work out that well. Did you run the shower in hot water let it steam up the place, the turn it off and do it right then or did you wait for the steam to die down completely?

You want the steam so that it takes away the dust particles.

I put the Bodyguardz Pure on my phone using the hinge method with steamed bathroom and spray can.
I let the room steam up as I'm cleaning the screen off, and used the dust can to spray off any excess dust that wasn't picked up while wiping the phone down. The bathroom got really steamy that at few points I had to turn the exhaust fan on to take away some of the steam. Then I placed a few strips of tape on the screen protector (so that I can tape it down to the phone, as aligning it and then trying to tape it wasn't really working for me) I then aligned the screen protector (this is done before peeling off the protective plastic. Remember this is just to align the product) taped it down to the phone and then flipped the screen protector (like a door opening) so i can do one last wipe and spray of canned air to make sure there's on dust on the screen. Then once I was sure all the dust was gone, I peeled the adhesive side of the screen protector, flipped the screen protector back on (this is where the hinge method comes in handy, as I don't have to try and do much aligning) and had to adjust it ever so slightly to get a perfect alignment and that was it.
Because there might be some moisture between the screen protector and the phone, after you applied it there might be some condensation showing up. At first I some how touched the adhesive part of the screen protector and that it was my finger prints showing up. But I gave it a few hrs and started rubbing around the area that had condensation and with in an hr I had it all out and was shocked how well it came out. It was my first time applying a screen protector, so all the steps were new to me. It took me about 30-45mins to get it on the phone but I'm glad to say not a single speck of dust or bubble under the screen. I applied it on the 10th of November and to this day it's still looks good.

I never turn off the shower all time on with steam

I use this method with all screen protectors

So nice! I'll be a buyer at $19. Not so much at $40. That is unless Spigen has a good sale as well.
 
Attention! Sale is coming!

If you guys are thinking of getting this sweet protector I must recommend waiting all up until Friday !

Spigen is right now doing sales for 1 product of their bestselling collection each day all the way up until friday. That means Spigen Glass.tR might be one of them. And I sure think so. If it's not the glass.tR its the glass.T.

I hope it's the glass.tR, oh god. I have a 7,77 dollar discount and if they lowered it more I would pee my pants literally.

So, lets hold hands and hope!

Wow!! I'm speechless... :D
I received my Glas.t'R' yesterday and just put it on. Nailed it with ease the first time. I used the hinge method (in the steamed bathroom) and it was very easy. I'm very impressed!
I had my doubts and was very tempted to get one after reading this thread and others but for whatever reason I couldn't grasp the thought behind putting a piece of oleophobic glass on top of the iPhone's oleophobic glass but it looks amazing! When Spigen had their 20% offer last week I figured what the heck I'll try it. So glad I did.
 
Spigen now offers a replacement program for all of the glass screen protectors. It's very similar to the Bodyguardz replacement program, where shipping is included. The Glas.t is $15, and the Glas.tR is $18. I think I'm still going to get the Bodyguardz Pure, though, considering I'll either get it for $17 or $19 (depending on how they implement the 40% off), and then the replacement is only $12.95 and its returnable.

I'm hoping for a similar discount from Spigen since I already have their aluminum home button... just figured it would be a better fit with it... if no good deal on the GLAS.tR, then I'll get the Pure.
