SPG Front + Back Protector Released!

Got mine in the mail today, now I just need to install it. I shouldn't have gotten the Hybrid bumper from SGP to with this....
Are there any metal bumpers that don't affect reception and will fit over this screen protector?

Edit: Any tips for installing this? I've installed a Zagg in the past and just made sure to take my time, but that was a wet install...

Just be slow and careful. If it doesn't line up right just take a piece of tape and peel it back off. Use the light tape included in the package to remove lint just incase. I find dry installs 100x easier than wet installs.
 
I love the back protection on the white iPhone. The matte is amazing and it was very easy to install. Use a wet install and it makes it much easier. No dust whatsoever on my back. Only issue is the 3 piece back attracts a lot of dirt at the seams, but not much you can do due to Apple's design decision.

I wish they went with aluminum across the entire back.
 
I'm going to install this tonight....should I wear gloves, to keep fingerprints off of it?

So I just installed this....there are a couple little bubbles, will those go away over time or did I mess up?

What I would do is use tape to peel off the back. Then get water and add a little soap. Clean the protector with the soap and water. Then while it is slightly wet and soapy put it on the back of the phone. Should lead to a much better install.

Good luck!

Use tape to lift off the screen protector then grab another piece of tape and dab on the bubbled areas that contain dust, repeat until there are no more dust and bubbles left.

Thanks! I was able to get the film off....I think I'll start over or try something else...if it's not perfect it will really bug me!
 
anyone else with black iphone 5 try the back protector?

what is the overall consensus regarding the bubbles on the black iphones? still apparent?
 
If it's worth anything, the logo and the printing on the black ones definitely feel more raised/thicker than on the white. My co-worker has a white one and I felt it and I could tell the difference. This might be why bubbling is appearing on the black but not white.
