Wrapsol for iPhone 4- Ultra or regular?

[christyn]

Okay.


Got the replacement today... But...

A scratch on the back film... So notice-able... QC? or my luck? Off ordering another replacement, but only standard shipping offered, no more overnight... argh...

Yep, same thing. Got the replacement Wednesday but also has a deep scratch on the back. Looks like the new replacement will be here Monday. We'll see....

Looks like a pretty poor install job to me. It's been a full 2 days since I installed my Original and the front looks flawless.

Hahaha. Yeah, the install job is what creates the orange peel effect. 😀. I am curious as to how it is a poor install job. I followed directions. Not a speck of dust. Lined up perfectly. Installation has nothing to do with the orange peel effect. This is a product of the film itself. 😕

If yours looks flawless, please take a good angled picture of the film and post it. If I see that your film is truly without orange peel, I will send them off to Wrapsol and ask for a replacement then.

I am not trying to bash the company here, just trying to help people out who a trying to decide on what film to buy.

Also, aren't you the one that said you would be installing the power support screen shield as soon as they are available for the front? If your Wrapsol front is flawless, why waste the money for the power support film? Just curious.

his is original, which is wet application. Ultra is totally different story. Mine is even worse than yours. I am so tired of installing films.but which brand you recommend? I am thinking of BSE. At least, it is cheap.

For those that keep asking about the "orange peel" effect of the front screen, I took a picture to show it. Notice, I am not shooting this straight on, it is at an angle, which is when you will notice the effect the most. Looking straight on, you do NOT notice it much, if at all. But I did want to show you all that it is there because some people keep saying that it is not there at all, which is just false.

EDIT: The cross-like shadow is from a window by the way. Just a reflection. 🙂

Looks awful.

Craaaap! Wish I knew that sooner. To all of you who kept insisting Wrapsol has no orange peel - you can suck it. 😡 Ah well, the search continues then for me. Thanks for the pic and the heads up, hopefully you saved some other sap from making the same mistake I did.

I thought about doing the surgical glove thing too but was worried about the powder Where did you get the non-powdered?

I get mine at Sam's Club (package of two boxes of 100 gloves per box) in the pharmacy department. I think you can buy them at Costco too. I always have a box or 2 around cause I use them when handling raw meat and chicken, for cleaning, painting, etc. They worked extremely well when applying the front and back Ultras.

Still trollin', huh?

Haha, yeah because describing orange peel effect all over a screen as awful is "trolllllllin".

I guess I should have lied to the guy and told him it looks amazing huh

Thanks for that info. Might be a good idea to keep a box of these around since it seems like all I do these days is install screen protectors😉.

Orange peel is normal for BSE, Zagg, and Wrapsol ...they are all basically the same material and so all of them will have it to some degree or another. And it looks a lot worse when photographed from an angle than it is in real daily use. If you want a perfectly smooth surface then get a film type protector like PowerSupport.

*over your head*

Par for the course.

robby posted good points, much of it common sense. These will never compare to thin plastic offered by other companies if that is what you are looking for. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

These actually provide thicker protection. You'll get minor scratches on those that you won't get here, hence the "self-healing."

I totally agree with you. The only reason why I posted the picture was to prove to people that Wrapsol just like the other film have an orange peel effect. Maybe not as bad as IS, but it is there.

As to someone else who said that the Ultra is better than the original as far as the orange peel effect is concerned, this is not true either. I initially had the Ultra on, which had it as well. Infact, i believe that Yellow Frog posted earlier on this thread that the front piece is made from the same type of film for both kits, just the back is different. Someone can correct me though if I am wrong on that. The two films certainly feel the same when I hold them both in my hand. Got a replacement Original, which is the picture I posted here.

All you've done is offer snarky 2-3 word "comebacks" man. If you want to offer something to the conversation, have at it... but you're not helping anyone in any way with your lame responses.🙄

Haha, what's to report? I haven't called anyone out of their name. Seems someones a little upset that their favorite screen protector has poor quality control. Try staying on topic instead of being emotional.

 

[omgitskevin]

wrapsol sent out my replacement film today and the cut looks perfect this is the second kit I received from them and no issues whatsoever. Looks like they reworked the sides if i'm not mistaken. thanks for the support guys!

 

[lorenwade]

Got my new protectors today and they look blemish-free.

 

[nineohtoo]

After 24 hours I was still unimpressed with my Wrapsol film. While the finish isn't bad at all compared to the first one I received, the speaker cuts outs looked cheap, and getting air bubbles out was a pain in the ass because the film would end up stretching and go past the border of the screen. I don't see how this experience is any better than the BSE which costs much less. I'm gonna go e-mail today and try to call tomorrow and get my money back.

Also just any FYI. When I took off my first set from last week to put on the replacements yesterday, the siders were all blackened, it looks kinda like it was burnt, but I just know it's just dirt/or a different yellowing effect. I can upload a photo if anyone wants. Thanks.

It's about 20 hours since my install of the Ultra, and it looks great! All bubbles gone, the screen looks great through the skin. At first I did put on the edges, they went on very easy. They add grip to the sides, much better than the naked iPhone, but I don't think them alone would protect the edges. I put on top of all this my iPhone bumper. It would not fit at all with the sides pieces, pulled them off and no problems.
I have had the stiff protectors in the past, first time with a flexible style, a bit to get used to at first but I am now a satisfied customer.

 

[lorenwade]

Let's see some photos of the ultra application.

Can you re-up new photos. I'm interested to see if the bubbles are still there.

I'm not seeing the hype in Wrapsol at all. Not saying it looks bad but it doesn't look exceptional as many of you describe, so is it more of a "ultimate scratch protection" thing that draws so many of you to this product?

Ah Ok. Well maybe when more people post photos of their end result my mind will sway a bit. I ordered the ultra originally, but canceled because I'm not sure its worth it. I'm really looking for clarity more than anything. Obviously I want protection against knicks and scratches but having the "strongest" protection isn't most important to me. I just want to find a good medium.

I'm interested in seeing photos when you all receive your new replacements because so far it seems SGP is better. It's just too bad their customer service sucks ass.

Haha I can see why they stopped giving refunds as the cost of production is probably nowhere near the sale price. Hopefully the replacements they send out will be quality. Several people should post photos to redeem this thread and all of the hype.

Looks like your film has dent's in it. Am I seeing things?

This thread seems to have been just a whole lot of HYPE. They do seem to have considerably good customer service however but then again looking at how horrific the original films they sent out were, I'd expect nothing less.

An apology doesn't mean **** if you are sending out films that look like they were cut/prepped by sugar-driven pre-schoolers. LOL. I'm not saying the second batch being sent out now is bad, but this type of mentality that you can send garbage, as long as your CS reps are friendly and personable --then it suddenly becomes acceptable, is a joke. Like I said, HYPE. I did see where a couple of people applied the new batch of film and it doesn't look bad at all, but in my opinion it doesn't live up to the HYPE this thread initially surrounded itself on.

I don't get how many people are reporting their films as being stuck to something. Are they really not separating each individual piece to the set as they should? Packaging 101 guys.

By scam do you mean try to get a refund for an item that looks like it was constructed by a 5 year old? Haha, besides it seems most people are open to replacements anyway.

Here's the Steinheil EX Ultra Crystal (full body) installed on my phone, threw the front on in just a few minutes so its not completely even but whatever. They probably give extra films to compensate for their ****** customer service. Oh, and if you get this one it doesn't have a cut-out for the front, just the back flash. I think they do both cut-out's for some of the other ones though. But again, their CS is **** so you may just want to wait for Power Support all together (although I've never used PS, could be as much hype as this thread was).

The clarity is pretty solid. I'm not sure if it's the best (because again, I hear PS is even clearer) but I haven't had anything better in regards to clarity. Here's a video of someone applying the same film and he puts it side to side with an unprotected iPhone and you can barely tell the difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWFCXxAFr8I

Hahah, yeah I accidentally stretched it too far up top, it's supposed to stop right where the noise mic is and curve around it.

Definitely go with the steinheil (they now have a flash cut out), or any other brand protector for that matter. Wrapsol needs a serious wake up call on their quality control, and should start hiring more qualified workers.

Looks awful.

Here is every post in this thread by you so far.

I am going to point out your third-to-the-last post where you said, "Haha I've offered plenty of relevancy to this topic."

Would you kindly point out where? All I see above is a bunch of whining and complaining about what you call "Wrapfail." I've also gone through your other posts in other Wrapsol threads, but the only "relevancy" you provided was to the effect of "Stay away from Wrapfail."

I fail to see any relevancy in your posts. All you've done is whine, complain, offer snarky remarks, tell people to stay away from "wrapfail", and tell people to go with a different company.

What am I missing here?
