Yes, the package is a freaking story book for this damn screen protector. Right till now, this is the most expensive screen protector I have bought to date, and can be found only in gmarket so far. This is kind of like a hybrid matte/clear screen protector, where the matte layer is layered over the clear one slightly, and a protective coating on top of the layers if I understand it correctly.

I've been using it for 3 weeks, and I have to say this is one of the best screen protectors I have owned to date. The screen is smooth, not much clarity is sacrificed, cutting is great, and the best part is how EASY it is to wipe oil stains off the screen. When I wipe the screen with a cloth, I do not even have to use a single bit of strength. As instructed in the booklet, I just have to wipe the screen by circling with the cloth. 3 weeks into the usage, and I already like it a lot and would recommend it despite the high price.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] darkmax1974:
This is not the most expensive I've ever paid for a screen protector, but it is close enough.

The 3M Estoc+ is indeed one of the best around. Easy to the touch and glide, the feel is almost powdery. Its readability and color clarity is on par with a glossy SP, saves there is no gloss at all. It is in fact matte!

I also find that it is suitably thick but not enough to hinder the sensitivity of the screen.

All in all, very good product.

Thanks, Vulpix, for introducing this to me and allowing me to join your purchase. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] azhurvadal:
can you tell us how much did you pay for the screen protector (plus shipping cost to Singapore) ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Mine was shared with 2 others, it was around SG$26 per person after splitting the cost. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ohamn:
Wow....

...A really nice installation! Good work!! :D

My Copter display does not look as good as this one. :mad:

Thanks for sharing!

looks very nice but i will stick with my SGL GLAS (btw its more expensive) its absolutely the best and the most amazing screen protector.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
Looks good, i can also highly recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/SGP-Samsung...Q2WQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314395567&sr=8-1 you can get this slightly cheaper on eBay, you would not even notice there is a screen saver on it:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Ehhh, I had this before I put on the Estoc. The problem was the coating coming off after a few weeks, which prompted me to search for a new screen protector. I wouldn't bother with the Ultra Oleo.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kotaro_14:
I bought this from Amazon and the first day it got scratched. A big ugly one where the you could see a slice of rainbow effect. Not recommended! Might try Vikuiti or just get SGP Glass b/c it's sexy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alitech:
I want one of these but it is impossible to order on gmarket even with chrome translations etc. How did you guys order this? Is there a website user guide or somethin?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theory_87:
using it for 3 weeks, it really excellent. Not the most expensive screen protector i used, but certainly one of the best. Thank you Vulpix for ordering for me
[Galaxy S II Accessories] phantasia:
Where did you get those from? :)

Same question...

[Galaxy S II Accessories] alitech:
Ok I will give it a shot at ordering. To save on shipping costs would anyone like to get a combined order in for the UK? I am in London so any takers, we could possible exchange number or summink and I can make this happen.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sophiemith:
is this the best screen protector of sgs2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
The term best is always subjective.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] komarto:
I did not find it on eBay :confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] euphoria47:
I am now curious and interested to try this protector, but at the same time apprehensive, as it is very hard to find or buy. 3M sells a lot of stuff in Canada, yet this product cannot be found on their website.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xtrememorph:
I am POISONED!!!!!

Went to G Market.. learn some korean.. *ahem.. google translator* and order 2 pc for myself.. waiting for delivery now.......

I realized the awesome 3M stuff is usually sold in Korea first for some reason. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Quite poisoned, but wondering if it will work IN COMBO with the SGP glas without sacrificing too much sensitivity (like I'm doing right now with the Ultra Optics).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Joey2o11:
Never mind the screen protector, what about your £8.50 32gb Class 10 MicroSD card you were bragging about? you promised to report back when it arrived....

I ordered 2 of the protectors last week what a mission it was to read the site! But I checked my tracking today and it has just arrived in Australia today now awaiting to be delivered to me! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Awesome! :D Let us know what you think of it too. Using mine for nearly 4 weeks now, the screen still feels fantastic. And remember, when you clean the screen, do it gently, without any liquids, and in a circular manner! I believe this will help to extend the lifespan of your screen protector. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hungyhungyhippo:
Thanks for the tip! Will definitely update!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Anyone still doing a bulk of these to Singapore? I'm from Malaysia and am interested to get one of these to be shipped from singapore to save on shipping costs.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Shipping is not THAT bad, really. Just ordered a couple to Malaysia myself.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hungyhungyhippo:
I recieved my 3M estoc protector in the mail today from gmarket, and have installed it, and must say its a breath of fresh air, the protector just feels so nice and smooth, it is clear, the sensitivity on the screen is much improved thanks to this protector compared to my last one.

So far so good, no fingerprint residue on the protector. Must say i am really impressed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Does the estoc pick up fingerprints easily? How about the scratch resistance? My SGP ultra crystal already picked up a few micro scratches in two weeks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Well, you won't be able to see it yet, but after a week or so your protector will start to turn cloudy. That means it's time to wipe off all the oil accumulated on the SP. :D Gently!

It's been doing fine so far, rubbing gently seems to remove any kind of scratches.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
OMG that sounds exactly like my SGP optic....

It was all good in the first 2 weeks, then it got cloudy.. it looked pretty disgusting, and didn't come off that easily.

edit: Sigh... I just ordered one.. too late to cancel.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
What? Dude, all protectors will have accumulation. The biggest difference between Ultra Optics and the 3M is the 3M one is much easier to clean off. And yes, it is a lot easier to clean off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
I suppose the 3M has much better clarity than the ultra optics no?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Personally, I think it's only a slight improvement since I also had the ultra optics before. The Estoc+ is clearer but just by a tinge.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
How much thicker is the Estoc anyhow? And it's anti-glare right?

Hopefully it has better anti-scratch properties vs the optics (which scratches pretty darn easily IMHO).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Yeah, it's anti-glare, but it's not as matte as a Power Support matte screen protector. As for your anti-scratch comment, it's been a month and there is not a single micro-scratch. :D Any kind of scratches can somehow be magically massaged out with a cloth.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Hey vulpix, how long did it take for the shipping from korea to Singapore?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Took about 3 days?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
Once it starts getting cloudy, it will get cloudy easily. Leads me to hypothesize that there was some layer that got worn off

Anyway the screen looked horrible with a ultra optics on, that I threw ultra optics SP away after about 2 weeks. Now with the oleophobic one, my screen looks a lot clearer, so much that a few colleagues with new SGS2 came over wondering why my screen looked so much better than their matte ones.

I guess the Estoc will be the same, meaning it'll likely be a waste of money for me. No point buying a good phone with fantastic screen, and kill the fantastic selling point by putting a matte protector to blur the screen.

Anyway if there's anyone in Singapore in buying a new 3M Estoc+, drop me a PM :) I've only 1 piece to let go.

Oh yes, thanks for the review, it really helped.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] uppon2:
You mean SGP GLAS and I do agree with you that it is the best screen protector as it is like having extra glass

I have tried the 3M Zagg and SGP GLAS and hands down the SGP GLAS is the best overall

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...g-galaxy-s2-screen-protector-glas-series.html

Watch the video if you would like to see the strength also. Nice colours too
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Well, truth be told the Ultra Optics probably has a different manufacturing method for their SP. The 3M Estoc+ on mine is still great, even after a month, I am still able to clean off the cloudy stains effortlessly. Yes, a bit of clarity is sacrificed, but it isn't as bad as a PS Matte one. I also owned the Ultra Oleophobic, and my god, after the coating came off, the screen was a ***** to wipe, there was so much friction when swiping around the screen. Just 3 weeks was all it took for the coating to be worn off.

You should really reconsider keeping that 3M, because I have used all 3 protectors, and I will have to say that the 3M is still the better among the 3. It's almost 3 weeks and the SP is still in tip top shape, still feels great on my fingers. It doesn't get cloudy that easily even after the 3 weeks, I just need to wipe it once every 5 days.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jer76:
Thank Vulpix for the recommendation, i've used SGP Ultra Optics, Ultra Fine and Oleo. The 3M Estoc wins, it has a matt texture but the clarity is really good, it will not blur or cause the display to be fuzzy. I'm still figuring out how 3M did that!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Read that you tried the ultra fine? What is the texture like?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jer76:
Ultra fine has matt texture, rougher than Ultra Optics it really distorts the display eg on white background you can see its quite fuzzy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Just got my Estocs, seriously, for something this glossy, the fact that it DOES NOT pick up up as much fingerprints as, say, the Glas or a Crystal Clear is a magical wonder.

Clarity is VERY good too. The self advertising booklet is nice.

Circular motions to clean sounds bogus but actually works, tho I can't help but think "wax on, wax off" karate kid style when I do it lol.

Plus, I'm using it ON a Glas and it works fine. Great job 3M.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ksm_hjx:
where can i buy in UK???i can't find it on ebay~
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xtrememorph:
bought mine from G Market few weeks ago.. IT's AMAZING!?!?!! Was using Oleo before but its nothing compare to this.. It stills look like the day i install it. I put it in my wallet case so maybe there's extra protection.

It's glossy.. but at the same time it's matt surface... it's INSANE... definitely a must get!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ackerlight:
Where I can buy it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] globalgpj:
I'll be back in Australia in a couple of weeks and I was going to order one next week so that it arrives just before I get there.

I was on GMarket site and registered, but I can't figure out there lest than impressive ordering system. :mad: I select to pay for shipping, and press buy, to see how it would all go and it keeps telling me to select an option.

For the life of me, I can't see any other option to tick, before buying. Any suggestions. :confused:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kiwi_zt:
Hi, can't seem to send you a PM. Do you still have the Estoc available? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oopeteroo:
how is this comparing to sgp glas ? which one is better ? clairity ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
I have both, and use both, clarity is STILL much better then the Ultra Optics alone. Plus cleaning the screen is much less a chore now.

It's slightly less glossy compared to a naked Glas screen, and more glossy compared to the Ultra Optics, so it's like a bit of both.

But considering the UltraOps get cloudy with greese and becomes impossible to clean after a few months ANYWAY, and the naked Glas screen seems to absolutely promote smearing and is glossy as... well, glossy things, I'd say it's a GOOD compromise.

Keep in mind, the Glas is tampered glass, so it WILL protect better then any simple piece of plastic. Which is the main reason I'm using both.

With that said, I'm ordering quite a few of these for a local forum, and it's kinda sad that Gmarket's the only place to get it. The Vikuiti is nothing compared to this, and it's a waste 3M isn't bringing it out to the global market.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oopeteroo:
i need to get one should i go for this or sgp glas ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oyebto:
have been using this for a week now, its really clear and smooth and resists fingerprints to some extent. has the clarity of the crystal protectors and the fingerprint resisitvity of the anti glare kind! best of both worlds! people did mention it may get cloudy after a while so will continue to monitor.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
If it gets cloudy, just give it a wipe. :D

so are you using a protector to protect your protector ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Yes. I'm using both the Glas AND the Estoc. No issues so far since my last post.

It's slightly more microscratched though (I abuse my gadgets lol), but oils and dirt still come off easy with a wet wipe followed by dry ones.

Got mine for like 3 weeks ago, and yeah it's really amazing. Really good to use, no scratches in it and it's easy to clean aswell. It was easy to apply too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
Just finally figured out the Gmarket ordering for getting in the estoc+. Now I know that many have done this before but it was a challenge for me :rolleyes:

Just a heads up, when you are in the final stages and filling in the information they ask you for the Shippers email address, well that's not right, your supposed to enter YOUR email address as the receiver. It's way too late to change anything once you have the final form filled out since Gmarket is a middle man to the seller. I forgot to add my province here in Canada but even an email to the seller was a waste of time. I guess we will see if it gets here OK.

Have fun!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] mademicu:
guau!!! really good
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dpi295:
How do you order? It doesn't let me add to cart.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
When you click on "add to cart" it will usually pop up a small box that says: "Please Select the Option to Proceed", after you close that you will see that it has dropped down a menu that is all in Korean BUT you need to choose the first one that has the recognizable "S2" in the line. I believe it is the first option out of the 3.

I'm assuming you already have created a Gmarket account with your particulars....

Regards, Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mademicu:
It's very expensive...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
I think the fact that they send 'War and Peace' users reference volume that congratulates you on your purchase in 240 languages is the main culprit.... :p

[Galaxy S II Accessories] GuInHoW:
I've been using the zagg invisible shield for some time.. i'm using my 6th invisible shield and i'm very happy with it. Never had a scretch on it. Is this 3m better?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
I have personally seen that the Zagg can create an 'Orange Peel' effect look to the screen. I have also heard of many complaining about that. I have not owned a Zagg screen protector. You can do a search on the entire accessories thread on orange peel and zagg to get a better cross section of information.

From what I have read of the Estoc+, since I don't have mine yet, is that it looks really good, is very easy to apply and does not show fingerprints and oils very much at all compared to other screen protectors. I tend to believe what I have heard since the majority were 'bang on' when describing the SGS Ultra optics. That is what I have currently and really am not pleased with it at all. It actually looks good but shows up fingerprint oils like crazy! The worst part is that you can only clean the screen protector with a microfiber cloth and I even have to make a corner of the cloth damp first before it will even touch the fingerprints. The beauty about the Estoc+ is that you can use a normal cloth and very lightly use a circular motion to clean it. Also it supposedly only needs to be cleaned very rarely in comparison the the Ultra Optics.

The downside to the Estoc+ is that it is only made by 3M Korea and is only available to purchase through Gmarket. This ends up being an expensive screen protector because of that. To add to it is the task of making your way through Gmarket to finally get a successful purchase. Even when Google translated it is still a chore and some things are worded incorrectly. Gmarket is strictly a 'middle man' and that adds to the confusion of the purchase. If you make an error you usually find out too late and then all the emailing in the world seems to fall on deaf ears. Oh well, I hope it's worth both the expense and wait.

Regards, Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lexx.yomen:
Is it really worth using one? Planning to buy one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
Using one what? A screen protector for the S2 in general OR the estoc+ specifically?

Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dpi295:
Any Singaporeans have spare ones? The shipping is too expensive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lexx.yomen:
the estoc+ specifically.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
from everything I've read from those who have tried many different screen protectors and the 'raves' that they have for this particular one, I think it's well worth it. I waited for a while to see if someone from Canada was going to put in an order hoping I could tag along with it so that we could both save some shipping but finally gave up. I have the Ultra Optics at the moment but I can't wait to get rid of it. It is still protecting my screen but I'm a fanatic about things looking clean and shiny. As I kid I would always take the shiny penny as opposed to to the 5 dollar bill.....:(

Regards, Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
Well, this should make it clear as to why the shipping for the Estoc+ is so much money.

It did get here quickly (excellent) and it did get here in good shape (also excellent) but it certainly could have been shipped in something much smaller and still survive the shipping very well...

Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
OK...

So just a quick update...

I installed the Estoc+ today on my phone and all went well. It has a slightly different feel to it then the Ultra Optics. If I were to describe the difference I would say it feels a little bit more 'nylon' like??? OR, maybe slightly more textured but on the phone it looks great and my fingers slide just fine on it too. We will just have to see about the fingerprints.

I was quite careful taking off the Ultra Optics and as opposed to turfing it, I gave it a new home on my very expensive Fluke Industrial Multi-Meter that is still brand new in the box! It doesn't have a touch screen just the standard plastic display lens that usually gets scratched the second you wipe the dust off with your fingers. It will now be 'Ultra' protected...(pardon the pun) :D

Regards, Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dpi295:
The protector seems to smudge easily. Or is it just my fingers?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nadiazhou:
Looks so nice

It looks so nice.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
It still smudges BUT it's much easier to clean. I only use light pressure and do small circles and viola.... it all comes magically clean. You could NOT do that with the Ultra Optics as I mentioned in a few post previous to this one.

Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dpi295:
It feels so powdery but I always have to wipe it every 10 minutes or so because there are smudges everywhere.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shanman3us:
For sure then you wouldn't be a fan of the next best choice of film type screen protectors, which I believe to be, the Ultra Optics. Unlike the estoc+ you must use a microfiber cloth that is damp to even touch the smudge marks then use the dry part of the microfiber cloth to finish it off.

Shanman
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NguyenAdam:
Is this the same one?
