I bought the Ultra Oleophobic's on eBay from this seller:

http://myworld.ebay.com/electronics-deal/

They did free First Class shipping (sent out on Wednesday) and I received them today so I'm very happy about that. Don't know how much SGP charges for shipping but if it isn't free, this might be a good alternative for some people.

I wanted to do that but since the earlier oleophobic screens didn't have all the cutouts I didn't want to risk it. Good to know they were good.

I have the one without the cutout received it from SGP direct yesterday and it doesn't effect anything tbh

They have a new batch i dont know about?
 
did you guys receive a shipping confirmation email from sgp when you ordered your screen protectors? i ordered mine two days ago with priority shipping so that i could receive it by today or tomorrow, but i haven't heard back from them since the order placement e-mail.

I ordered a set Wednesday and it was shipped out yesterday. I found this out by checking their website because I did not get a shipping email at all.

I don't think the "cutout" drama has to do with the Oleophobic. I don't have a cutout either.

Still, very happy with the quality. Clear as can be and very minimal fingerprints. I'm very, very impressed.
 
Those of you who have received your Crystals with the new cut outs post some photos if you can.
 
So just to be clear, if we want full body protection with a cutout on the back for the flash (and with something that doesn't affect the flash), we should go with the following?

I'm going with the Ultra Oleophobic on the front so I'm really only looking for back protection but I guess I have to buy a full body kit (using a bumper for the sides). Is there any way to just buy back protection since I already have the Ultra Oleophobic for the front?

The front has two cut-outs, one for the home button, and another cut-out for the speaker+camera. The back has only one cut-out for the camera+flash.

In my opinion, these protective films are not bad. But Power Support's quality and craftmanship is a tiny bit better, and easier to apply without errors.

I bought a Zagg back protector rather than the full EX kit. Chose it because, like you, I only need a screen for the back and I had a 50% off coupon :p. I'm not sure how good this Zagg is but we'll find out once I get it.

You know, until someone gets the PS in their hands who has used the EX Crystal and provides photos or at least a detailed comparison I think I will hold out on buying it. All the hype I saw with wrapfail, makes me a bit reluctant to bite the bullet just yet. Besides, they're supposedly going to have a "front and back set" available soon which is what I'd want.
 
I want to order the EX ultra crystal. Does anyone know if it comes with liquid solution? I perfer it not to. I've seen versions on YouTube where it does come with solution. Which version of the SGP steinheil is that? I want to make sure I don't get the one with solution. (I have had a very unpleasant experience with that!) :mad:

Do the EX ultra crystal have cut out for the flash in the back? I perfer their be no cut out so lint doesn't get stuck there. I've seen backs without a cut out for the flash. Does EX have this? or only the other ones?

The EX Ultra Crystal does not require a solution. It includes an alcohol wipe to clean it first.

It's hard to tell. On SGP's website, they show it both ways. I'm pretty sure the newer films have a cut out for the flash.

They don't sell the back/sides only. Rather than buy a new set, I recommend ordering a BSE back. It comes with a wet install/rubbery back and side pieces for like $8. Cheaper than buying the ultra kit. ALSO, while I think a harder film for the front and a softer film for the sides and back is better. I used the EX Ultra Crystal set, and while my front was fine(except the oil that was a pain to wipe off), my back piece got scratched up pretty bad from mostly setting it down on tables. I dropped it on hardwood floor and the dust or whatever was on the floor chipped/punctured the film. I just installed my BSE today, and we'll see how it goes. As long as it doesn't yellow or blacken on the sides, I think that along with a Oleophobic front film is the best combo.
 
Just installed my Sgp oleophobic screen and I'm in love! lol...

There is a tiny bit of drag but the screen looks beautiful, no problems with the front camera.

I did install mine in the bathroom and turned on the shower for some steam, worked perfect. No lint or dirt! I was going to wait for power support but I really like this screen, much more than the PS I had on my 3G.
 
sorry if this has been posted, but does the Ultra Oleophobic' have the front camera cut out now?

Nice screenname. LOL I agree, I love the oleophobic film from SGP. I just wish they made one for the back.

BSE + Oleophobic. I think I have the answer, chur
