I ordered mine Sunday since it said ships in 1-2 days. They said have said 3-4 days instead but maybe it was delayed due to the first ones being wrong. I called and was told it would ship on Thursday but the tracking shows they sent it out on Friday. USPS estimates delivery on Tuesday and I'm in NH. give it a day after it ships for USPS to update the tracking to be sure when they actually pick it up and plan 2 business days after that.
It's actually "Premium silicone adhesive" from their website.
Does the silicon adhesive remain after removing the film?
No, it is always spotless after removal. Changed out a few SGP protectors myself (switch from glare to anti-glare on iPhones and iPads)
Does the Incipio DualPro case wrap over the screen protector in the front of the phone? I am looking to get a case that offers more protection but want to make sure it is not going to snag my Glas.t protector and make it pull up.
Also how is the feel of the DualPro? Does it add a lot of bulk to the phone?
I was wondering this as well. Thanks for letting us know.
Has anyone tried their UO or UF? Would you recommend the UO, UF, or Oleo? I'm looking at their screen protectors and I love the fingerprint resistant ones, but also the ones that offer some anti-glare properties. I don't know whether to wait and try the UO/UF or get their Oleo.
SGP Glas.T vs Oleophobic vs Ultra Clear??
Ok so..I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE TO GET.
Do all of them seem like theres nothing there? I am interested in the Glas.T but it seems like its too big...will that be a problem? could you even notice it

Subjective matter. UO and UF will impact image quality to some degree. UO has no effect. Don't overlook the prior threads on these topics. The material is the same, just cut differently.

There may be some difference but it's probably negligible. The UO coating will wear off after some time and you're basically left with a crystal (again, indicated in prior threads on the topic).
Nope. The screen is spotless after removal.
You're going to love it. No one who's ever played with my iPhone 4 and now 5 (both have the Ultra Crystal) has ever known that there was a screen protector on there until I told them.
I just slapped one of my "incorrect ones" on. I don't see whats wrong with them, everything looks great, and for the first time ever I got a flawless install using the "hinge" method!
I usually get their UF since I believe the 3G (had power support matte on the 2g) because I hate fingerprints but they don't have them available yet. The UF does degrade the screen clarity a little bit, but I like the look of it. I've gone with the Oleo until the UFs are available.
I preordered mine and received the original on the 20th. Oleophobic
I did not read any instructions that came with the screen protector since I have used tons of screen protectors in the past.
Usually, I peel the number 1 labeled sticker first but it wasn't sticking to the iPhone's screen, I peeled the number 2 labeled sticker and seems like it was the side that I should have peeled first and then 1 labeled. - One messed up screen protector.
I grabbed the second screen protector and peeled the number 2 labeled sticker first and it worked right away. However the upper right hand side of the screen protector doesn't seem to stick on the corners.. maybe it was just me but the holes sit perfectly on the camera, speaker and home button... since it was my last one and will use an Otter Defender anyways I wasn't too worried about the screen protector not sticking on the corner.
Few minutes later I received this email from Spigen. I'd probably will not replace the one I have on my iPhone 5 with the replacement that I will get until it needs to be replaced.
Great customer service btw.

How does the "GLAS" serie compare the "Ultra"s
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can give me feedback on how the two series compare to one another. It seems many are opting for the Ultra Crystal within the Ultra Series, anyone try the GLAS, any comments?
Also are those the best screen protectors out now on the market? It seems they are very popular, as they appear second on google after ZAGG in my search.
Thanks
AE

Hmm I just realized that since the 5 is symmetrical it's not obvious which way the protector goes on.
It does wrap up and over the glas.t. It doesn't interfere at all. It actually hugs the glass nicely, but no stretching of the silicone. I had this same combo on my iPhone 4 and loved it. It's my favorite screen protector / case combo. It covers more of the screen than a boring bumper, and fully protects the edge of the glas.t which is supposedly prone to chipping.
Couple pictures (I'm probably going to get the silver/white dual pro shine case, to match the colors better):
Whoever is still using a plastic screen protector needs to stop that foolishness and get a spigen glas.t. There's nothing like the feel of real glass when using your iphone, and not stupid plastic regardless of what garbage it's coated with. Nothing is more clear than pure glass, and it doesn't scratch. This is chemically treated, tempered glass. It's the king of screen protectors.
I sound like a commercial and it's just a screen protector, but after years of using plastic screen protectors and ruining the screen's display, I'm really glad somebody made these.

The oleophobic is a glossy finish, just like the ultra crystal one. Oils definitely wipe right off, but I'm not sure it's much different than the ultra crystal version I've had in the past.

Not sure if this info has been posted, but for those wondering if they received the old version or not, here's what they said to me:
the ultra crystal attracts fingerprints and grease like crazy...the worst thing about it over time is that oil just smudges all over the place and gets difficult to clean without a cloth + some water.
