[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magicdot:
I must say.. I had one of these Glas-T protectors.. ..looked and felt great. I've used it for about a month. I didn't have any issues w/ it not sticking or pulling up. I bought this protector before even getting my Note; I didn't even turn my Note on, I just took the factory static cling guard off, and slapped this thing on. Thought it was great, but noticed my touches and gestures seemed laggy.. "..no biggie," I thought. "Probably just the ****ty factory software and a new ROM will fix it.. Eh. Not so much. In fact, I think the sensitivity of the screen degraded the longer I used it. I thought I had just gotten a ****ty device.. And maybe I did and maybe I didn't, but I sent the original handset back because it wouldn't charge or boot any more and got flakier and flakier over the course of a month. So I sent it back under rebate. Just got my new handset in the mail and didn't put a Glas-T on it. And I don't think I will. I'll get one of their other ones, but I think the thickness of it really interfered with the sensitivity. I was really disappointed with my Note when I first got it, but now it's the happiness I was looking for in a handset with my replacement.

That being said.. ..perhaps there was something wrong with the screen from the beginning and pressing "harder" just wore it out. I don't know. I just can't justify spending another $40 on something like this to test my theory. Just seems odd tho. I'd yank it off and test my theory on my old one before sending it back, but I can't even get it to boot up. I hope if they do I don't get a bunch of BS for having a custom ROM loaded on to it... :rolleyes:

So. That's my experience with this Glass on Glass. Oh. And I also use an Otter Box case with it. (I work construction and need all the protection I can get. I have insurance, but back in WWII when I got my first flip phone, I went through two phones in a week and insurance won't cover that..) The Glas-T sort of fits under the case.. ..it doesn't let it latch all the way and made it creak. I pulled the plastic touch screen cover off because with that, plus the Glas-T the sensitivity was ****. But it will fit. Barely.

Well got home from my trip and picked up my mail.... opened up my package from SGP and ... nothing Inside :(

Got all the extras ... just no sleeve or glass..... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
Well I am not sure what is going on. I contacted sgp but haven't heard back yet. The sensitivity issue has gotten worse for me. I am waiting to hear what they say before removing it.

Waste of money and time

I'm amazed how much man-hours are spent in this thread to discuss screen protection films for I717.

Well, if you forgot, folks, I717 just happens to have Gorilla glass on top of its screen.

On day I had the phone in my bag pocket with a bunch of keys and coins bouncing all day long before I discovered it. Not a single scratch on the screen. I've used this phone for a year now. Not a single scratch yet.

Maybe those who don't have the ATT version have to worry. I heard that non-ATT versions don't have the gorilla glass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyukki:
Just use the condom theory.

Keep it protected, just in case.

Just because it has gorilla glass doesn't mean it won't get scratched. It's all up to the owner I guess but I put it on so I can get the most out of it when/if I sell it.

Also, you had your ATT Note for a year now? I smell bull****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
I live in an area with a lot of dust and grit in the air and a large part of the grit is sandy. Sand can most definitely scratch gorilla glass. So for some of us it is still a necessity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] oort cloud:
Actually, I wanted to write half year, "Half" somehow got lost. Still I think you only need a screen protector if you rub your phone into sand on regular bases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jordant2:
Not worried about scratches. My "gorilla glass" cracked the first time I dropped my brand new note. I've never had a phone do that and I put my original Evo through hell. So I wasn't taking a chance with my replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OutCastedSheep:
i like this protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
Well, I've had mine since spg came out with it and absolutely love it.

No issues with senativity even with the Spen.

My only issue is that I didn't do a 100% clean on the screen before I popped the Glass-t on it. So one corner never quite sealed right. But I'll blame user error instead of SPG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] refujiado:
Does it feel weak or a solid piece ?? This is interesting cause i did not like the common protectors...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
Well , they ran into an issue with production they said in my newest email ... maybe better material here this time for me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RocketManOO7:
Had one on my phone as long as Ive owned it. I use S pen for everything, love the glass. Never had trouble, no loss of sensitivity. Although kinda pricey, the only way to go in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
Update: Got my order in ... and they shipped me the wrong one. One email later and getting the right one in at the end of the week.

SGP ... your customer service is amazing. Simple as that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fresh2Death:
i had one of these and regretted it dearly. i (being a perfectionist) cleaned the screen very well making sure there wasnt any lint, i mean not even one smudge on the screen before applying because it is a one shot chance. the whole thing went on perfect and i was happy. satisfaction only lasted for about a week and a half as the screen protector began to lift up on the left side. it started at the top corner and then the bottom. in the middle of the second week the entire left side was non-stick. only about half an inch tho. after a while it started to stop sticking around the ear speaker. at that point i just went ahead and took the whole thing off due to its new found taky look. i would definitely not recommend this item to any of my friends. i think i read someone say something about new material. i hope so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
Well , this one will be number 3 for me and loved it since day one.

It is good for the quality but yes the product does not work as well in the long term it seems :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shiffty574:
This screen protector looks awesome. I have a zagg screen protector now and it shows the strokes I've made with my pen. Thanks for the post gonna get one of these.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] t3chw00di:
Unfortunately I have to agree with Fresh2Death. I had this screen protector and loved it for the month or so that it stayed on properly. It never did seal above the earpiece from day one but that didn't bother me. Then a little over a month later it started lifting on the left side. Small spots at the top and middle at first and slowly grew bigger. I also ended up taking it off cause it looked like crap. I emailed them with a picture and they replied that there was no fix for it and I would have to buy another. That kind of pissed me off after reading here that many others got free replacements, and they didn't offer me any.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
Its apparently a defective product, I would press my case if I were you. I've read countless horror stories about this product. For the money spent, it should last a long time. Somebody should start a forum for this bad product, let others be warned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] UnicornKaz:
the "REALOOK" brand I'd suggested and have been on my note for the past 3 months still flawless just like day 1 ( no lifting, scratching, S-Pen friendly...etc )

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] oort cloud:
Well, surely the gorilla glass will not protect your screen from braking from falling face down on the pavement. Not was this kind of protection intended by the designers. The screen protector will not protect it either. You'd need a special case for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bakon420:
My note has monster scratches on the screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
I just know the GLASt has saved my screen a couple of times already.

The gorilla isn't full proof.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bakon420:
nothing. i had one on my phone and the fist day it broke. there is a nice silicone layer between the glass and your screen. so nothing to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E_engineer:
I love the glas.t but it is lifting on one side. Other than that the feel is great.

After 7 months

A few weeks ago I cracked my phone against my car door closing it while it was in pocket of my cargo shorts. When I inspected my phone I thought I cracked the display but it turns out I only cracked the Glas t at least display is ok. I heard Clearplex was a good protector so I ordered one after a week of using it's not nearly as good as Glas t. I ordered a new Glas t and am waiting for it to arrive but I'm reading here post about SGP changed formula since my preorder back in feb? and now ther are issues with Glas t not sticking to screen and lifting off? Any one know if this has been fixed will the warenty cover this and will SGP replace if this does happen? Crossing my fingers I get the same quality protector as I did 7 months ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
I have gotten 3 replacement screens from SGP directly over the months due to the peeling up on the power edge.

Latest replacement shipped with a small sticky section near the search button not sticking to the screen. But its good enough for now until the note 2 gets released and I can pick one up at work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] just_visiting:
Here is another alternative to the SPG Glas.T screen shield.

http://clearplex.myshopify.com/coll...-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields

It`s also glass like the SPG and only $14. I`m going to order one just in case my SPG decides to act up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
The clearplex is not glass. I have one on a phone.It is a film like Bodyguardz or Zagg.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fuzai:
Not bad

I personally like the feel of stylus on the screen protector compared to others. Very smooth. However, a lot of reviews say that the parts of the edges on the screen protector will come off. It happened to mine 2 months later and it won't stick back on no matter how hard I push it. Worth getting even for the price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
This is my third one and I have sensitivity issues but so far the glass hasn't lifted on the edges. I think a lot of these issues are due to small variations in the curvature of the screens. When I remove this one I think I will try a martin fields protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunny68:
I love SGP GLASS protector. My son dropped phone but only broke protector glass. I orderd new one. It saved a lot of money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
I am about to buy one of these. Are there any problems with the latest batches or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
My glast has already saved my screen from one scratch but it is starting to lift up by the power button. At this rate I will have to take it off in a week. I am highly disappointed it has only been on for 3 weeks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nycokla:
I love this product. Installed it in the bathroom with the hot shower running.... Been going on a month with zero issues... It just looks so dam clean

I'm talking about the spiegan (sp?) glas t....... Love it

Has anyone have this installed on a gnote with a otterbox does it fit nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nycokla:
No, but I installed this one from amazon. It comes up on the front of the phone high enough so it covers the height of the glass. So the glass won't catch on anything by accident.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I had this for about 5 months now. The only problem I have is that the bottom part of the phone (close to the touch key) sometimes does not response to key press. I have to press the screen really hard in that area, which can be frustrating when you are in hurry.

After a while, I am getting tired of the above so I am buying a normal screen protector from SGP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nycokla:
Had mine going in 5or so months, zero problems. Same case and all... Loving it

- GNote via Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
You probably have a different batch than mine. Mine starts peeling at the top after a couple of months, so maybe the bottom part have "air" in between the glass and my Note. Right now I have to press the Spacebar button hard or it won't register.

Good protector though...if works...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TE TOQUE:
X2 I've actually had this since I got my note last April with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Interestingly, I had one on for about a year and never noticed a difference... until I took it off. I'm not sure why, just seems substantially more responsive to touch.

I had this screen cover and I absolutely loved it. It felt like a quality product and it even saved my actual glass when my phone fell out of my hand and hit the corner of the coffee table. I would absolutely recommend this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] g_whiz:
I also had one of the Speigel glass protectors and it was great. It cracked after about one year of use but I figured that it took the blow that would have cracked my screen. I bought a replacement but I had so much trouble with bubbles while installing it that I just took it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crhistian:
Anyone know where to get one of these? Looks like it's not available on Amazon anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i717:
I've had one of these spigen covers on my note for about 8 or 9 months now. and it is great. I actually had to remove it and re install it on a replacement phone I had warrantied. I was unsure of how successful I would be with the adhesive used to apply it to a second phone. They are a "one" time install, or so they said.

I washed the cover with warm soapy water (the sticky side), and let it dry, then applied it to the replacement i717 i received. It went on almost as pretty as the first install. Just a slight lifting where I initially pulled it up from the first phone.

The case I use covers the edge of the glass, and thus keeps it down.

Searching for spigen covers today for the i717 was not good.

eBay has numerous tempered glass screen protectors, and cheaper. But not spigen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eddddddy:
where to find?

can't find one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LaosPerson:
Virtually impossible to find now, since this phone is old
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Nucking Futs!:
Ya, that's what I was thinking too (TPU being flexible).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
I agree. I really don't like the fact it's a one shot deal, if you mess up you are stuck with a useless $35 piece of glass. What they need to do is work on the adhesive to allow you to reapply it, and put 2 in each package like they do with the regular SGP Protectors, once they do those things I will reconsider them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
i don't recommend anyone buy this just yet...wait for some more end-user feedback if you can!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordata:
So guys, I really dont like this Glass screen protector, Its thick and is raised over the lip of the phone. My screen was dirt free and tried to apply it in the bathroom with the hot water running to keep stuff on the floor not the air (How I apply every screen protector with close to zero imperfections) and I still managed to get crap stuck under there. I lifted it back up to get some scotch tape in there to remove it and managed to get more crap in there. Gave up, going to see if I can get it refunded (Bought it thru amazon prime). It is really a one time use product. Too expensive for something so delicate to apply. good luck to all that buy when they try to apply it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Nucking Futs!:
Damn, now you got me concerned. I just ordered it a few hours ago, LOL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
Tx for the info gordata!!!! Well if it wont fit on my Zenus Air Capsule, then i'll be returning it or selling it on ebay/Craigslist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farmercyst:
I installed mine today. It's a tight fit to get it on correctly. little room for error. here's a few pics with it after it was installed. there is no loss of screen functionality at all. it feels like there is no screen protector on it at all, very nice. just dont f up the install!!! :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Tell me how to not **** it up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farmercyst:
This guy does a good job explaining it. I used his technique of placing the glass on the screen and it worked fine. If it does get misaligned, you can pick it up carefully as long as it hasn't started to adhere to the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
I think he messed up, there is a nice, fat bubble he tries and tries to get out, and can't. Either that or the product is defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordata:
once you lay it down you can see the adhesion spreading across the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farmercyst:
Yeah. I saw that. It was ugly. At the end of the video, he said it went away after a few days. the directions also said there might be bubbles that should go away after a couple days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vellan:
Well, I just got mine in and put it on. I was really worried considering the issues that others have seen.

I managed to get lucky, I guess, because it went on and no dust or anything got caught underneath. Of course, I was in a room with all the AC vents closed and I held my breath the entire time I was lining it up.

Before removing the adhesive I placed the phone flat on my desk and I did a couple practice runs lining up the protector with the screen so I would have an idea of how to handle it.

After that I took the alcohol swab that comes with it and wiped down the phone's screen then used the microfiber cloth that comes with it to wipe/clean that off (without moving the phone...never can be too careful!). At this point I started breathing very, very lightly since I didn't want anything getting on the phone screen either.

After I wiped the alcohol off, the phone still in the same position on the desk, I held my breath and removed the adhesive backing and lined it up on the face. I sat it down very, very carefully and, luckily, it was lined up (I noticed on my practice runs how my fingers seemed to want to push the protector to one side so I was able to compensate, I guess). I pulled my hands back to check how it was sitting and I could see the adhesive start spreading as it settled on the screen. I didn't even have to touch it.

It was very nice watching it spread across with practically no air bubbles. There are two just around the buttons at the bottom that are smaller than the ball in a ball point pen. The only other place was between the very top speaker and the top of the phone, and just that width.

They say that the small bubbles should go away in a couple days...though I'm not sure about the place at the very top. Overall, I'm very pleased with it. If you manage to get lucky and have it go on without any issues, then it's a fantastic screen protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
well the whole glass thing sounds great, but i refuse to buy something that requires surgical precision!!! one shot at that!!

plus the $35 is a turnoff

otherwise appears to be great product
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordata:
Yeah for $35 bucks, its crazy. On another note the Moshi screen protector from AT&T was on and I removed it, Washed it and reapplied it with no ill effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WhiteEVO:
I've used a method I got from searching online...it might have even beed from this site on the evo forum...

you take your phone in the bathroom and turn on the hot water in the shower, let the room get steamy...which keeps the dust in the air to a minimum if at all, then apply the screen protector...

I've used this methos several times on diff. phones and it works well...

Also I've heard of people using scotch tape to get any dust specks off of the screen protector...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] markpoke1:
Just got mine in and applied it

Installation was pretty easy. Cleaned the hell outta the screen, then very carefully applied it.

Unfortunately got a little tiny speck of lint trapped under it. Doh. I think it must have been pulled to the glass when I removed the plastic backer from the protector right before putting it on my Note. Gotta chalk that down to my fault though, since, well, it was.

There seems to be some adhesion issues on the little thin area above/around the speaker, though. Dunno why. Maybe the silicon adhesive wasn't spread over that area too well or something? Pretty small issue though.

Tested out the S-Pen with it to make sure it still works properly and it does. I also pressed it down pretty hard to make sure that the glass doesn't get marks left on it, and it passed that test as well.

The glass feels very solid and smooth. It's crystal clear and overall I'm pretty satisfied with this screen protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eowyn:
What case are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
thanx white! i just installed mine and did just this. worked near perfect, only 1 smallllll piece of dust (or perhaps it is a bubble that will, according to Spigen, work itself out in a day or 2) - either way it is hardly noticeable.

i installed it while my Zenus Air Capsule was still on and it fit perfectly! glad i didn't have to take off the Air Capsule to install it. the left and right side of the Glas.t fit up snug to the Zenus Air Capsule. the top and bottom have more room to play. i actually installed it snug at the top, which leaves more room on the bottom...i wish i had evened that out more and placed it downwards towards the bottom barely 1/16 of an inch more. fortunately, it isn't covering the ear-speaker.

i did have 1 deep scratch on my Note, the Glas.t didn't make it disappear. it appears to have trapped some air into it actually. i will work on it with the included rubber squeegee for the next couple days, to see if it can go away.

all in all, i am very happy with this S.P. and i feel much better with it on. too bad i didn't purchase it a week sooner, it would have saved my Note's screen from a bad scratch.

tx --- art.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
I like the idea of this screen protector.. The last time I used one was on my Instinct and even though it was one of the better screen protectors (Box Wave), I was less than impressed. Since then I had decided to forgo protectors all together. I always just figured if I did get a crack or bad scratch on the digitizer I could just replace it. But that was back when I was replacing IPhone3g(s) digitizers that cost me $7 a piece.

The more advanced these devices get the more expensive the components.. and the more nervous I get about cracking them open to do work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Yeah, I have a couple tiny bubbles, probably dust specs despite taking great care, and that damn speaker spot. Despite this, I've never had a less noticeable sp. Fits no problem with my whatever translucent black tpu this case.
