Not happy either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
I ordered the Oleophobic but after they told me they cancelled those I changed to the Ultra Optics. Here's what I got from SGP a little while ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Hmm, I bought my Ultra Crystal from cretouch.com and have already taken delivery. I emailed SGP, will let you guys know what they say.

EDIT: Wond3r will most likely beat me to it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
was oleophobic online? I wanted to order one, but there was only ultra crystal. But, I also see ultra nano optics on the page. i guess they just change the names of product. :mad:

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

i haven't opened up the package yet.. I'm so getting Ultra nano clear. :victory::victory:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Originally they had Ultra Oleophobics, Optics, Clear and ultra fine. Then they cancelled Oleophobic because it was affecting the screen quality. Then they also cancelled the optics and it looks like they've changed the names of the other 2 or created the Ultra Nano Clear and Nano Optics which seem to be thinner. To be honest i'm completely confused now and don't really know what i'm going to be getting lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Like I said, I have contacted the sgp ebay seller about it yesterday, and today I sent SGP a message through their website. I have yet to receive a response from either source.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
I wouldn't expect the seller to do anything. I'm not even going to bother contacting Cretouch. SGP should replace the obsolete product as they are the ones who deemed the product inferior.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Well it is the SGP official USA retailer I bought from. So I assume they work together to fix any issues? (Hopefully send me a new one since I havent used it yet)

But I have seen another user on xda with the Ultra Clear that posted photos and his has no issues adhering to the edges, but then some people recently had issues with theirs. I'm wondering if it was just a recent bad batch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Good point, fingers crossed. Mine is unopened as well. Good luck to you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
You as well!

If they reply to you, post it here please.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
I was confused too, so I read the description closely. I think the red part makes more clear to understand.

I think it's same thing with previous ultra series but thinner. I guess basically ultra nano is thin oleophobic, no??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
I think so. The website drop down menu now shows Ultra Nano Clear and Nano Optics so maybe they will update further and have two versions. One I imagine will be Ultra Crystal but thinner and one maybe Ultra Optics but thinner?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] komugi:
I wonder if this new one covers the entire screen or still just part of.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] esquire0399:
For anyone who already received their Ultra Clear protector, this is the response I receieved from Spigen when asking about exchanging the now-discontinued product:

That's freaking awesome if you ask me. I don't actually have to DO anything. I'll happily await my replacement. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
It wont be the entire screen, but there is no reason to worry about the 1mm that is not covered...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elvenlemming:
That's good to hear. I just got my Ultra Crystal today and just sent them an email inquiring about an exchange. I'm glad I won't have to bother returning the Ultra Crystal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Fair play to SGP. A lot of companies would have just released the "below standard" products regardless and just taken the money but they clearly put an emphasis on quality which is really good to see.

Out of interest for the guys that received the ultra crystal clear, what was the quality like? Any problems in particular?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] esquire0399:
I didn't have a chance to install it because I just got my phone today, and wasn't going to after seeing that it was discontinued. Since SGP is letting me keep it, though, I'll try installing it tonight or tomorrow just for "fun" and I'll let you know what I think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
So we do have to deal with the resellers afterall...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] esquire0399:
So I just installed the Ultra Clear that SGP is letting me keep and as it turns out it does not stick to the edges at all due to the curve. My phone looks exactly like the picture posted in this thread previously. I'll keep it on until I get my replacement but I can definitely see why SGP decided to scrap it, and good on them for doing so. I knew nothing about this company prior to a few weeks ago but I now have a HUGE amount of respect for them. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Oh man, that's rough. Sorry to hear that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] komugi:
Well, that isn't what I mean, the product it was replacing actually only covered the screen, but not the edges. So I'm wondering if they made a dry applicator screen protector that does the entire front of the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
but it looks hideous.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kmoore11:
Yeah I wouldn't be able to have one that doesn't cover the whole thing. It doesn't look as good and leaves a ridge on the screen (no matter how small), an easy place for dirt and dust to settle.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
No, it doesnt. Come on man... It looks hideous? People will be looking at your phone saying "ew look at that screen protector"? Lmao
[Galaxy S III Accessories] esquire0399:
I can say firsthand that it looks pretty bad.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Maybe I'm unaware of some of the other screen protectors out there. But unless you get a wet apply, none will go exactly to the edge because of the curved glass and the associated risk of peeling. The wet apply seem to sacrifice some clarity and texture when compared to the best dry versions. So if you value less dust collection over clarity and feel, this is definitely a reason to avoid the SGP dry application screen protectors.

Everyone has a different opinion on these things. You'll notice every single phone on XDA gets lengthy threads on which is best and there is never an overwhelming consensus.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Wouldn't having it all the way to the edge cause problems if you have a case with any sort of lip on it anyway?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LadFromWales85:
I have an Ultra Crystal on my phone at the moment, as my Cruzerlite case pushed up the edges on my Flex :-(

It feels much better to my fingers than the Flex, not as rubbery and more slippery, similar to the naked glass.

As I bought my Ultra Crystal from Amazon UK from "SGPEurope" who I've since found from SGP are not an official reseller, I will have to deal with Amazon UK to get a refund.

Will probably get one of the new ones then, as like everyone else's Ultra Crystal, the edges don't stick.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
I got respond from SGP ebay store (sgpstore1) -

I sent them a reply with Diana quotes from this topic (that SGP acknowledge that there is a problem with Ultra Crystal SP, and they gladly replace it...). I asked them to replace it even if I have to send it back.

I hope that it will not come to the point I'll have to think which feedback to leave them...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
That's the same seller i bought from and i also contacted them... They told me that if the edges don't stick, i can ask for a replacement through warranty.

I replied asking how that would make a difference since the ultra crystal are discontinued for a reason. Still waiting for a reply.

I might end up asking to just return it for a refund and buy from sgp's actual store
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titans1187:
I'm glad I don't have to bother returning the old defective ones back, less of a hassle for me. What sucks is i put on my last Xtreme Guard protector on so i have the screen protected for now and I got a 99.9% perfect install and my bodyglove case doesn't push it up either. So whenever i get these new Ultra Nano's delivered i'm not gonna wind up using them right away unless the orange peel effect of the xtreme guard starts to annoy me when i'm sure it will pretty soon.

What might stink about these Ultra Nano screen protectors is that since they are thinner than the rest of the Ultra series, its probably gonna scratch pretty easily. I remember the Iphone 4/4S ones usually for me got scratched up within weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
based on other replies, I guess I don't have to return my unopened package and receive a new one. awesome! Does it only count for the people who bought directly from their website?? I bought it from their website, but I'm just wondering.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
I have an update from SGP Store (spigen.com) about the ebay store (sgpstore1) , basaclly they claim that they don't have any ebay store and it might be a reseller store.

This is not exactly what the ebay store stated in their sales on ebay.

Just got the ebay store reply too (to this)...

What do you think I should do ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Here's what CreTouch said to me:

Can't ask for anything more than that. Nice job, CreTouch!

EDIT: Wow, got an email saying they already shipped the Nano
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
Did you get a reply ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
They said to try it when i get it, and out of the hundreds they have sold, there haven't been many complaints and all good feedback.

I'm going to ask for refund. There probably haven't been many complaints because most people like me haven't gotten the phone yet lol

I mean the actual company discontinued it due to a defect..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
Has anyone got the Ultra Nano Clear and applied it yet?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
what's the better? this or the FLEX HD?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Have you read through this topic at all?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
yes, i've just made a simply question. ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
Ultra Nano is not out yet. It's due next week.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
No you havent, as liam just pointed out..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
what the hell.. SGP is STILL selling Ultra Crystal???

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-St...TF8&qid=1340749470&sr=8-20&keywords=galaxy+s3

Is it discontinued or what??? Does anyone know why it's not on their official website? I just heard that it's discontinued from this forum but I don't know any details or any official announcement from SGP. Just noticed that there is a new screen protector. I bought Ultra Crystal before Nano Clear came out, but I haven't had a chance to put on the screen protector since my device is not here yet. Do you think it's okay to keep Ultra Crystal? I'm kind of scared of trying something new that I don't know if it's good or bad.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yogimel:
I too have a ultra crystal clear bought thru ebay seller "unitedsgpcorp" on June 5th received and installed then just found out about this spigen scrapping the ultra crystal clear. After reading thru all the post in this thread i have decided to send an email via ebay message and asking them if they can send me ultra nano clear free of charge because spigen deem it as defective and they are in agreement with their resellers to replace it. So I received an email said they would be glad to replace it and have sent a new one out today and for me to keep the old one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
does your ultra crystal stick on all the edges?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yogimel:
No it does not stick on all the edges. It looks lifted, bubbling.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] afx337:
I sent a message to unitedsgpcorp (CreTouch) on eBay yesterday asking about this and they sent me out an Ultra Nano almost immediately. Got it today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
could you please give some feedback about it? Also could you please post a photo of it installed so we can see how well it fits the screen ?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Just noticed a $2 refund in my PayPal account from SGP. I originally ordered the ultra Oleophobic so not sure if this is a refund in the difference in price or just a gesture. Anyone received the Nano yet, thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinuneuro:
How many pieces of film do you get with Spigen?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
You get 3 with the Ultra Nano.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinuneuro:
Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tietherope:
Where did it say that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
On amazon's website
[Galaxy S III Accessories] afx337:
Sorry, I'm on Verizon so I don't have my phone yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
New reply from the ebay reseller sgpstore1 -

I don't know why they're so eager that i'll keep the Crysal... anyway as soon as I get the Crysal i'll ask for replacement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Stanlehh:
waiting for a review on the ultra nano clear before I pull the trigger and order one for myself.

Also stucked in a dilemma between this and the Flex HD, have not tried a wet application protector before yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
+1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tietherope:
Realook now has a non wet application screen protector if anyone is interested.

They are the brand I have been waiting for. They ship on July 3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] locoboi187:
All these talks of different screen protectors. I've always had SGB on previous phones and they have been quality to me. Is there something actually better for the S3? Some are saying Realook, but what evidence is there that this screen protector is better? Just wondering since I have to order soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sérgio Luís:
You´re wrong.

SGP sent mine 2 days ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
I didn't make it up, that's what Diana from SGP wrote to me and to other users here. Maybe they got it sooner (SGP from the factory)...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
It seems like the people who bought stuff directly from sgp website got the product already. I saw some of the reviews on here.http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...een-protector-steinheil-ultra-nano-clear.html
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Just placed an order on the main SPIGEN SGP site, we'll see!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Stanlehh:
Can any users here confirm that a standard pack of Ultra Nano contain 3 films?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titans1187:
I just picked up a zagg invisible shield hd. If the install goes well ill probably just contact sgp and have them not send me the replacement ultra nano I'm waiting fir
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinuneuro:
All the reviews I've read for the Realook say they are great in clarity but terrible for fingerprints. I ordered the SGP Nano yesterday and should have it by Mon or Tues. Let's see how this one does.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] creon100:
I just received my Ultra Nano Clears (that I requested as a replacement for the Ultra Crystals I ordered that suffered from lifted edges). Immediate thoughts:

The Ultra Nano definitely solves the lifted edge problem and the protector is nearly invisible from my normal usage distance, though I haven't had it out in bright sunlight yet. I have the Pebble Blue, so that may also help make the edges disappear into the phone's face once it's applied.

I actually found this easier to apply than the Crystal, mainly because it's thinner and not as prone as "snapping" away from my fingers when it's flexed a bit like the Crystal could do. Obviously, this probably does make it more prone to creasing damage if you're not careful, but I didn't have any of those issues.

There are three screen protectors in the package.

The only con I can find is that it's definitely not as smooth to the touch as the Crystal was, so swipe gestures aren't as smooth or easy as on the Crystal. It's like the top is more tacky, so maybe that is a result of the oil-resistant coating. It's possible it's residual tackiness from the plastic cover that was over it, so if it gets better in the next day or two as it sets I'll let you know.

As of now though, if you do a good deal of drawing on your phone with your finger, it may not be the best solution for you due to it not being as smooth as the Crystal. I do love to use Swype as my keyboard, so I'll have to see if it hinders my usage of that or not.

Otherwise, it visually looks just as clear and smooth as the Crystal did on my phone, just the unsightly lifted edges are completely fixed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Thanks for the comments. The feel was one of my main concerns so the tackiness isn't good news.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] creon100:
It's not hugely tacky, but was just noticeable immediately from coming from the Crystal. After using it for an hour or so I think I've gotten used to it, and it really does dramatically cut down on the oil and smearing left over on the screen from my finger compared to the Crystal. So I think I'm willing to live with a bit rougher touch both because it visually looks just as good as the Crystal while at the same time cutting down so much on fingerprints and smudges leftover on the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shue249:
Possible to post some photos?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] creon100:
Here's a few photos I took, tried to get the light to hit different ways to see it better. The dust is all on top of the screen, btw. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
I just put one of these on. It came with 3 and it took me until the 3rd to get it on correctly. Looks good. I too saw they sent the wrong one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shue249:
Thanks for the photo. Is that dark great rock casing, Cos I'm also using this :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] creon100:
Yes, it's the Rock case, dark gray or black (however, they bill it, I can't remember).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Stanlehh:
Looks good. May I ask those who own it, is it prone to scratches because it's thinner? The current one I have on from screen guard scratches way too easily.

A pity is that it doesn't cover the whole screen like the flex hd.

Stan.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinuneuro:
To anyone that gets this screen protector I suggest you wipe it with it with lens cleaner after installation. The adhesive used to hold the front cover in place stays a bit after you peel it off adding a lot of drag.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sargorn:
Hmm, this might be why my order from "sgp products" on amazon is missing in action.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Neverendingxsin:
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Sa...7999&sr=8-2&keywords=sgp+ultra+nano+galaxy+s3

review by him says even a fingernail can leave marks on it, which i find to be disappointing. Maybe its a bad batch?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
I'm second about that. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ROSALIA:
A standard pack of Ultra Nano contain 3 films

This is by SPG

" Thank you for contacting SPIGEN.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Michelle from SPIGEN.com.

The Nano Series come with 3 screen protectors.

The difference between the Clear and the Optics is the type of coating they have.

The Nano Clear has an oleophobic coating that is resistant to oils and smudges, its easy to clean!

The Nano Optics has a slight matte screen protection that fights against glare and fingerprints!

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you."
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Stanlehh:
Just purchased the Ultra Nano Clear from ebay. Hope it looks good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
mine too. should have been delivered on the 26th.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titans1187:
As much as I love this screen protector I already have to put on the second one as the first one already got a scuff in the upper left corner. From what I have no idea. I'm gentle when putting the phone face down and its always in a case. It sits in my pocket with my evo lte so I dunno what caused it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Just got my Nano Clear. Was hoping for the Nano Optics having originally ordered the ultra optics but can't be bothered with returning it.

As expected it doesn't cover the whole front due to the curved glass which makes sense. Very thin doesn't take away from the screen quality for me. I found it slightly more difficult to install than some similar protectors due to it's thinness as it is less rigid.

As someone previously mentioned it's worth giving it a wipe with some sort of lens cleaning solution as it is slightly tacky straight after installing it. So far seems decent.

It also copes much better with fingerprints than the regular S3 screen but I wouldn't go as far as non-fingerprint (not that SGP claims it is)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
Hey fellas,

I posted my video review of this product earlier today:

[YOUTUBE]b-3jchNH-0I[/YOUTUBE]

I'd be happy to answer any questions if anyone is wondering how it looks/fits/feels but for the most part it is a good product as you can tell from the video.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Nice review I checked that out this morning agreed with pretty much everything you mentioned based on my usage so far.

Big fan of your videos actually you have any more case reviews coming?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Neverendingxsin:
I'm wondering how prone it is to getting scratched. Are fingernails and such okay? I don't wanna scratch it with my nails or from regular use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titans1187:
Pretty much the Ultra Nano is just like a Invisible Shield or any other wet install in the sense that you can take your fingernail and create a dimple in the protector but the only difference is the Ultra Nano is not self healing like a wet protector. Im torn on putting the second one in the package on due to how easily it got a scuff yesteray just being in my pocket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
Why do you put your phone face down?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
Thanks man! I do have more videos coming. I have like 6 cases I need to post up this week & next and have some stuff coming in from Speck & Incipio. I got you guys covered!

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

It is more prone to scratching that the Flex HD for sure, but in my week of usage I haven't noticed any issues with it. I've ran my fingernail across it without a problem, but this may just be my particular set of nails, haha.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Neverendingxsin:
Your welcome :) and that's good to know ill definitely be trying it and seeing how it goes. Otherwise I'll try out the flex hd
[Galaxy S III Accessories] electric0ant:
lol, i ordered the ultra optics from ebay a couple days ago and only just realised this is a slightly matte one argh! should have read the descriptions properly. i thought it was the one with oleophobic coating since it said anti- fingerprint. already been shipped by seller as well, sigh....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeahrite:
Thanks for the review and good to know it isn't as rigid as the oleo ones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edd080:
Installed an ultra nano clear screen protector on my S3, really amazing stuff, had a zagg skin before but I had to remove it, the cut outs where messed up, had a cut out for the led, and not for the front camera! Apart from the orange peel effect which is the standard on Zagg shields the spigen is literally invisible, no orange peel effect and fits perfectly on my phone!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sametbars:
Off the topic: I have applied a zagg invisibleshield yesterday and now I noticed there is a small particle of dust in the middle of the status bar. If I take it out using applicaiton solution, will the protector stick to the screen again?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edd080:
Yes you can, just make sure not to pull the shield using extra force, as the invisibleshield tends to stretch losing its original form a bit, otherwise it can be removed and reinstalled without any problems. I did that on my Transformer and never had any problems..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sametbars:
I did it, everything looks OK:victory:
