Just got my Switcheasy Trim and I ordered the Pure+ crystal kit to get the back protector. I got 2 Pure's with the Trim case and 3 more with the kit. I used one from the Trim case for this review along with a back from the kit. I am like many on here as I have tried almost all the different screen films out there.
I have tried both SGPs. The Crystal is ok but IMO too thick. If you had a case that had a lip it caught on the edge and bubbled easier. It also scratched easier than any other film I tried. The Oleo was probably the clearest but it showed smudges and fingerprints like most others after a few days. Still I liked it better than anything else I tried. My only other gripe about SGP was the camera cut out. I like the films with a separate hole for the camera and not one large hole.
I tried both PS Crystal and Antiglare. These are tough to beat for 1 reason, the application process. They also have the good camera cutout but the home button cut out is too large. Don't like that. The crystal is just a touch below the SGP Oleo for clarity but it may be placebo. The Crystal does show scratches easily too.
I tried Speck. Nothing to say here. Not terrible but not really good either.
I tried Griffin and these were surprisingly good. As a matter of fact, I think the Griffin and Pure may be the same. The issue here is the price at a local store of $20 but you did get three.
That brings me to the Pure. I put the Pure back protector on and thought I was going to be disappointed overall. It went on fine but did not seat around the camera perfectly. That actually went away after a few hours though. The I put the front on. This film is of the same thickness of the SGP Oleo and not a super thin flimsy one but not too thick either. It does not have the same application process of the PS though but just the standard 1-2 process. +1 for the PS vs the Pure. The cutouts are great. The Home button is perfect and not enlarged. +1 for the Pure vs the PS. The camera cutout is the same as the PS. +1 for the Pure vs the SGP. The film is perfectly clear. I mean clear. It took off an SGP Oleo to put this one on and I can't tell any difference. The other thing that is great is it is as smooth as the bare glass. Its almost like it has a coating on it. It does show smudges though but no more or less than any other crystal protector.
Overall I have to say I would go with the Pure over any other clear protector. I do like the PS application process better but everything else about the Pure is better. Also considering the Pure is less expensive for 3x the films, it makes it a no brainer.
