SGP GLAS.t Glass Screen Protector

So far it's still perfect for me. No lifting and the oleo seems to be holding up.

It gets fingerprints like crazy (as it always has) but they still wipe off extremely easily with my shirt.

So far no complaints. I have babied it though...except once or twice then it met coins and keys. No scratches or scuffing to date, looks new ^^
 
I have had mine from a few months now. I am not super roght on my phone, but I am also not super careful like I used to be. Still very, VERY happy with it. I don't suspect I will be looking for a new screen protector for the life of the phone.

I really wish they would make a protector for the BACK of the phone (I understand the camera and flash are likely the limiting factor here). I would rock a naked phone (maybe a bumper) if they did this!

Have you noticed any difference in the oleophobic coating since day one? I had their ultra series protector that have the coating and it wore off after a month or so and became a finger print magnet.
 
I ordered two Spigen SGP GLAS.t screen protectors for me and my fiance. One of them came with a chipped corner. I contacted Spigen and they sent me a replacement next day delivery, I was amazed. Spigen is an awesome company. We both love this screen protector. It feels nearly identical to the original screen, something I've always wanted in a screen protector but never been able to find. I will be going with Spigen for all my future screen protection products. I was a little concerned about the price but I think it's well worth it.

My fiances installed perfectly with no dust underneath, however I guess I didn't clean mine well enough because there is a couple pieces of dust under my screen causing bubbles. Has anyone removed the screenprotector, cleaned the bottom, and repplied it? Or is this not possible?

Check out this thread -- SGP Glas.t is REUSABLE!!!! It looks like some people have reapplied the Glas.T with this method.
 
Just installed mine today, looks great so far! The one complaint I have is that there is still small bubbles around the edge of the glass in a few places. The bubbles are only about 1/32" wide, but up to a 1/2" long in some places. Did anyone else have this issue? Will they go away in time?

This is from a fresh install, it didn't go away. It looked to me like a production issue where they adhesive was not evenly applied. You can try to re install it with water...but if the adhesive is not there...or it is jacked up in some way I don't see how water can fix it.

I emailed them the photos & they sent a replacement. Now my replacement is jacked. See post #312 below.

here's mine after about a month, started off flawless after initial install......most people couldn't even tell it was there. then about a week ago I got the air bubble in the top corner, a few days later the other one appeared.....I've tried using the squeegee to push the air out but the 2 areas don't stick down....

just emailed SGP, I'll keep you guys updated on how they handle the situation.

Same thing happened to me with a replacement. Mine has been on about a month too. I had a dust free install. Then a spot showed on the right upper corner Friday 4/20, then it turned into 3 spots by Friday afternoon, by Friday evening the entire right corner was engaged by That next Tuesday this is my phone. both top corners fully engaged. I emailed them yesterday. They responded requesting pix today.

Take a look here, it has an edge to it like it is coming up from the middle inside the spot and spreading out.

nope, didn't touch it......c'mon, this isn't rocket science..........even a caveman can install this thing, mine went pretty much like SGP's video........line it up, drop it, push the middle and watch all the air get pushed out.......use the squeegee to push out the few bubbles left, done.

So are all of you not using a case? Glas.t and naked phone?

Cause this kind of thing looks a lot like a case edge pushing on the glas.t

I put my phone face down and added weight when I installed the glas.t
Left it overnight.
I have not yet experience this problem.
I do also use one of those .03mm cases.

No case. I'm using wrapsol with drop protection on the backs and side.

U might be able to see it in the photos.

4 iPhones 3 iPads and dozens of friends that come to me to apply their skins screen protectors on their devices. I do it dust free and no fingerprints...OCD
Plus it isn't rocket science if u follow the product instructions.

First time poster, wondering about glas.t

Hi everyone,

I have been watching the glas.t news for the last couple of months. I am thinking very hard about getting one of these on my iPhone 4 because of the "naked" look it offers. I am using a case from ZeroChroma, and I would like to know if the glas.t film would fit on this case without causing it to peel up?

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/29130237/1/ZeroChroma Iphone 4 Case?h=0809b8

The case is called the "Teatro-S" and can be found here: http://zerochroma.com/index_standard.php (click on iphone 4/4s)

Thank you very much for your comments, and if you would like to see some extra pictures, I can try and take some more!

First, as long as your case doesn't wrap around the edge of the bezel you should be o.k. Based on your photos it looks like your case doesn't wrap around the bezel.

Thanks Xultar,

I am very close to buying one of these, but reading some of the reviews on amazon and ebay, several of them have mentioned "bubbling" of the screen not due to dust, but possible breakdown of the adhesive. Has anyone had this problem while using the glas.t with a case?

I have the Teatro-S and the Glas.T. The case doesn't touch the screen at all, so it shouldn't interfere with the Glas.T. In fact, that particular case provides a pretty generous lip on the front that extends a bit farther than the Glas.T, which is nice. (With my other cases, because the Glas.T is a bit thicker than most screen protectors, the Glas.T ends up being flush with the front lip.)

Yes. I am dealing with Spigen on this issue right now. I wanted to get one for my iPad but I'm going to wait until they get their stuff together.

On Amazon they are calling it Adhesivegate.

Thanks for the heads up Xultar, looks like I'll be holding off for a while too.

Hi Soccer, how long have you been using this combo, and whereabouts do you live? I'm trying to get an idea on whether the glas.t may run into problems with the adhesive after a while..
 
Don't wait. IF you have an issue like I did and some others they will send you a new one. All I had to do was send in some pics and they sent it. Get it and be happy, if it freaks up get a new one sent for free.
