SGP GLAS.t Glass Screen Protector

DroidRules said:
Pics of my "spreading" issue. There was/is nothing under the screen in this spot. It simply started lifting, away from an edge, and started to spread (I use authentic apple bumper). It was flat at first and for the entire time up until about 3-4 days ago. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it before with no "bubble" but it's obvious it's growing. The only spot I actually do have something under the screen is still "perfect".
As you can see it is not touching the edge.... Yet. I actually think it's about to touch it if it keeps spreading (why wouldn't it). I am going to contact sgp and see if they will send a replacement. Pics taken with an i4.

did you end up contacting sgp regarding your issue?
i think mine is spreading as well ... ugh.
 
the bumper causing lifting at the edges is nothing new for SGP protectors. They have to be applied with perfect alignment to avoid this condition.

The bumper definately presses the edges.

Sorry, I just got off restriction for being mean to people.

I did contact them and they requested I send in some pics. I sent them the pics and they sent me a new one saying it was a manufacture defect. Easy peasy! I will continue to buy from SGP after this awesome customer service. I like their bumpers but will not pay their premium price because of the plastic buttons. I guess I'm a snob lol.

Good job SGP. This is how customer service should be but so often isn't.
 
waiting til sgp has some promo or discount code available to try this out haha. would buy it as is but I'm a perfectionist when putting screen protectors on and can't stand a single speck of dust under lol

My question, too? :confused:

No you can't use any case that comes over the glass.

This includes both the Pixelskin HD and the Candyshell (the two from speck that I tried). The standard Pixelskin (the silicone version) fits but it doesn't sit secure in there as it can't warp around the front of the phone due to the thickness of the Glas.t. Same with the Pixelskin HD and the Candyshell though since they are more rigid than a silicone case the phone wouldn't even go all the way into it.

Agreed, I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat.
 
Does anybody use this with the boost case hybrid or the third rail battery case?

Will it fit?
 
Tried it.. Looked nice... But I had some dust under it.. And there was minor distortion, a line across the screen.. Small but noticeable...

Attempts to clean the failed miserable.. 27 bucks up in smoke....
 
got mine today, super easy to put on.......took 5 minutes(less), no dust, no bubbles, no issues at all, and it looks awesome!
it's night and day compared to the wrapsol screen protector that was on the phone before.

handed my phone to the wife and she didn't even know it had a screen protector on it till I told her.:)
 
Awesome...

Just installed it yesterday on the 4S, simply put...it's awesome...
Easy installation if you follow the method and are patient, gives the feel of using the iPhone naked but with added protection. No loss of retina display, infact if anything it enhances the fine display. Glas.t went on flawlessly with a couple(or three?) bubbles, but those bubbles have now vanished(after almost 28 hrs of installation). Only downside is, you get just one sheet of glass and no back protection included.

:apple:

Have it on my white iPhone with a white SGP linear crystal case and it looks kick butt. This Glas T protector is awesome. Looks awesome, feels awesome and protects awesome. It was probably the easiest screen protector I have ever put on as well. Just make sure your screen is thoroughly cleaned before attempting to put it on.

I received and installed mine today.

For the install, I ran the hot shower and installed it in the bathroom, as the humidity will keep the dust down. I was able to get a perfect install, without a speck of dust anywhere on the phone. That made me VERY happy, as I'm a bit OCD when it comes to dust under the screen protector.

You get ONE shot at installing this. You can't remove it without ruining it. Once it's on, it's awesome. It feels like a naked iPhone screen, and CRYSTAL clear. Really nice at repelling oils from your fingers too. There is absolutely zero drag or friction, and it does feel like a brand new screen.

Since it's 4mm thick, they give you some button covers, that are like a softer material and bubble like, with the same square design on it, so it looks like nothing is there. It helps raise the button so you don't feel the 4mm gap when using the home button. This is a fantastic feature, and really does help the overall usage.

I'm using the ZooGoo iPhone case, which is a TPU style (only softer) material, and it seems to be OK with it. I tired the Switcheasy Vulcan TPU case, and it started to raise the shield in the corners and sides.

Tolerance is TIGHT on this. You need to line it up exactly perfectly, in one shot. That's my biggest issue. If you blow this, you're out $28. I almost had a panic attack making sure I lined it up perfectly. Sweating bullets in a steaming hot bathroom, and holding my breath applying it, like I'm a sniper with a 3 quarter mile head shot... This was nerve-racking. For $28, they should give you 2, or build an installer into the box for a perfect fit.

All in all, if you line it up right, install it in a clean environment, have a steady hand, nerves of steel, and $28 bucks to drop, I say it's an awesome screen shield worth every penny.

BEWARE, this is going to give a whole of cases trouble. Make sure if you're using a case with a lay on the table design, it goes over onto the glass enough, so it doesn't interfere with the edges. It will raise the shield easily since there's a 4mm edge to snag.

After the install, there IS some slight bubbling along the VERY edges. The instructions say they will go away in a couple of days, I'll come back and let you know if they do.

contact spg and see what they can do for you. I saw one guy had some pics and he got his replaced.
 
Ive had mine now for a week and wow this thing looks and feels amazing! However I thought the install was pretty hard. I used the shower technique and still managed to get one piece of dust under the screen (not a big problem since it was small and the screen protector left no bubble around it). It was hard to line up (possibly due to white reflection problem). Its too far down so it covers the home button a little. The home button sticker was near impossible for me to straighten so I just gave up and went without one. There are also tons of scratches on it already.

On the left is a long bubble that still hasn't gone away and on the right its chipped... not sure how it chipped it wasn't when I put it in my empty pocket but when I took it out the top layer was chipped.

Also a long bubble on the top just like on the bottom left (hard to see in picture, sorry)

Wish I had better luck however I would buy it again!!
