I ordered mine from Amazon on the 14th.... got to me on the 17th... it sounds like I have the older version but I haven't gotten an email from them yet.......

Oh well. I guess I'll find out if it fits the phone tomorrow.

No, sorry. Just the 5 to the 4(s).

I just got email that my replacement corrected ip5 protectors are on their way.

I wish there was a way for us to differentiate the new corrected protectors from the old protectors.

I'm also not holding my breath that SGP will contact me if I did indeed purchase an old out-of-spec protector (because of the logistical nightmare, not for a lack of ethics).

Maybe after you have received the replacement protector, you can compare against the non corrected protector and let us know the difference. :D

Great. I ordered a case from them that comes with an Ultra Crystal screen protector. I haven't received it yet. I just sent them an email/inquiry about it. Hopefully they send out the correct one.

:rolleyes:

Did anyone who ordered directly from them get this email? So far it sounds like amazon only

I ordered directly from SGP also. I ordered mine on the 14th and it didn't ship out until the 19th and this is probably why. They were waiting for the revised version before shipping them out to me.

I just emailed SGP's customer support with my Amazon order info (ordered on the 14th, received on the 17th) to ask if my version is current or not. We'll see what they say.

I ordered mines last Saturday and it is still processing. I am wondering now if this is the reason why. Grr.

Ordered the Ultra Crystal on Amazon Wednesday and got shipping notification on Thursday. No email about the revision yet. Amazon customer reviewer mentions she got a revised version yesterday (9/20) though no indication whether she got an email beforehand about it.

Wow

I just called them and its the same excuse as always "we were very busy last weekend processing orders" I asked them to expedite my shipping and she said "it will be there next week Tuesday" and I said I have my phone on the island and i need to protect it!

Anyone know how to differentiate the newer batch?

I received both the older version and the revised version. I noticed in the revised package, there's a little note along with it.

I'm guessing these are only for people who preordered and received theirs like.. last week.. so they're sending out these notes to let us know we're receiving the replacement. And those of you who ordered it recently is just getting the revised version without the note since you guys didn't receive the old version in the first place. I gotta say, they have some great customer service. ^^

I received two of the original ones a couple weeks back from amazon. They sent me one replacement already but haven't received it yet.

The email from them says to still use the one that they sent in the mean time. So, I installed them for now, and I can't tell what could possibly be wrong. I had a glas.t on my iphone 4 and this seems to fit just as well. :confused:

Since you have the revised and the new one already, what's the difference?

I received mine yesterday from Amazon and it fits perfectly on the new phone.

same here and if any one is looking for a case that works with it, i recommend the poetic case. Got it from amazon for $5. Looks real good with the white iPhone.

the problem with the original ones (and it's rather minor) appears to be the distance between the front camera/earpiece and home button are off by the tiniest bit.

and if you end up splitting the difference, it ends up a bit long on the top.

just my experience.

i'll keep this one on until it's bad though
