Yea, got the Ultra Nano Optics on for a few days now and as you said, it has that squakey noise ... which I dislike and the feel is NOT smooth!

Also, in sunlight I am unable to see anything on the screen. Horrible!!!

I wonder if the company would take it back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I'm using the ultra nano and its great. I didn't get the optics one and glad I didn't.

Deebo took your bike too!?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Ehh, so instead of thinking it'll work I'm resigned to hoping. Haha

On another note, my Nano already has a scratch. Surprising since it's only been on for week.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jubmasterflex:
Guess they got the memo as well (now $15.99)...

I ordered mine from

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180922801960?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

a week ago, But after reading your post, I just sent them a message requesting to cancel my order, as the Lifetime Warranty does not apply from Spigen directly.

The ebay site makes it appear that Spigen also sells on ebay, which I though was strange since they sell on spigen.com, but plausible because I thought they wanted more exposure.

Anyway, I'm ordering directly from Spigen.

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] amgpower63:
Amazing. I'm going to order one in Korea right now so I can install it as soon as I arrive there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
Does anyone have an install video by chance?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Not sure how since I'm pretty sure the screen protector is still on pre-order.

I've been through couple screen protectors on my s3 but the way they were cut small drove me crazy. But I'm now sold on these new moshi iVisor AG. I usually can't stand the anti-glare inside but it you lose very little. The anti-fingerprint, is really good and the installation is fool proof.

I'm sold on this screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
I was thinking someone may have gotten one to review. Sometimes I have seen it with cases and what not. Figured I'd ask! Didn't find one my self.

I've asked Spigen when we can expect the Curve Crystal on Amazon, and will post back here when I get a reply (but, it's the weekend now, so...)

So far I've gone through 3 different crappy screen protectors, but the Curve Crystal should be the last one I need.

1) Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal ($14) - discontinued because it peels up at the edges; returned it for refund.

2) Skinomi ($0.99 sale) - peeled up at the edges where it met my Cruzerlite TPU case

3) Incipio basic protector (dry) that came with my Silicrylic case (FREE) - It's tacky, and lifts up at the edges. Can't wait to get rid of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
I recently pre-ordered and got a mail saying they'll deliver once they get the shipment which is in couple of weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] exitboon:
my zag invisible shield covers both sides of my phone perfectly and has no signs of peeling anytime soon at all. the adhesive took about 12 hours to form down and when i did the install there was some bubbles in it. 12 hours later the bubbles were gone and i dont even know its there. not sure what the fuss of this screen protector is all about. not trying to hate just confused by the curve functionality of this screen protector. I dont believe my zag has the "curve" and its working as intended
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
zagg has rainbow effect, feels tacky, and ruins the clarity, and you can see the texture of the screen protector rather than the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ahfu25:
My Zagg hd doesn't ruin the clarity..cant even tell its there. Maybe you mean the regular zagg?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Chevymanusa:
Pardon my ignorance, could someone please educate me on the benefits that this provides over not using this. Seeing as the Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with corning gorilla glass 2. I guess, it would protect the small non glass body on the front.

Thinking about it I guess the extra protection on the screen and the protection of the front of the body would be nice.

So, why are you guys buying this? What benefits does this have over the stock (gorilla glass 2)?

Thanks in advance for the input.

Regards,

Chevyman
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
It's worth it if you plan to sell the device at a later date or if you hate scratches on the actual screen. Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] JLine05:
I think its mainly for people that dont treat their phone like they should. For instance, putting keys in the same pocket, females throwing it in their purse with change and other stuff bouncing around... I have never needed a screen protector and never scratched a screen. I guess it is for piece of mind as well. Personally, I cant stand the feel of them and would much rather touch directly on the glass.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] djnoicatse:
The people who complain about others using a screen protector are the SAME people who complain when they get a scratch or crack on their screen.:rolleyes:

I'll admit that a lot of screen protectors don't provide the same experience when touching the glass naked. Some people just like to protect their phones for the sole purpose of reselling it in the future.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kthung:
I always keep my phone in its own pocket so I don't feel like its in danger of being scratched. If you ever go into a Sunglass Hut or an Oakley store, tell them you lost your microfiber bag, they'll give you one for free. The GS3 fits inside perfectly, protects the screen, and automatically wipes off most fingerprints whenever you take the phone in or out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Just pay a couple dollars for it, instead of being a slimy scammer.

... and I hope you drop your phone in a lake of fire.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Chevymanusa:
Thank you all for the feedback and comments regarding previous my question about why one should buy this over just using the default gorilla glass.

While I have yet to resell a previous phone, I can appreciate the wanting to keep it nice for the next person.

If/when I get around to purchasing the SG3, I will look into purchasing this or something like it as I would rather not get any marks on the phone.

Thanks again for all the feedback!

Regards,

Chevyman
[Galaxy S III Accessories] e_droid:
still waiting for mine to be shipped. been pretty happy with the one that came with the diztronic case though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wiz4769:
I tried one other and it didnt stick for crap, so I went with the nano non optic and with a Diz case I dont think you can do much better, its invisible, not a fingerprint magnet and is smooth as glass...with it not going completely to the edge it works perfect with the TPU case and you dont have to worry about it jacking up the edges of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vizir:
i actually have the moshi iVisor AG installed. it peels from the edges and is esp bad at that since the sticky parts are just under the colored region, not the whole surface. the sides are very prone to actually peeling off. i had to resort to putting the phone on a cushion with weight on top for 2 days before it finally stuck. even then it peels if the phone surface gets hot (eg, in a hot car).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deadlyrhythm:
ive owned my galaxy s3 for about a week and already got a pretty decent scratch on it. its not to visible but i was hoping more from Gorilla Glass 2 .

Ive babied the thing. It goes gently in the pocket.

Anyways glad that this sweet screen protector is coming out. I will probably buy a cheap on now and keep it on until this comes out for some protection due to ****ty Gorilla Glass 2.

Dont trust it without a screen protector!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
Please give the screen protector some use.. I also have the ultra nano and although it was grippy/squeaky at first, it soon felt naked with time.. just use it for a while and you wont notice the difference:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Contacted Spigen almost a week ago for amazon availability of the Curved Crystal, and finally got a vague reply of "soon":
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
I have a little more info on this.

I have order pending with an authorized reseller from ebay.

Here's what they told me on 7/18.

---

Thank you for the payment. I heard that it might take more than 2 weeks from headquarter yesterday. This curved design is the first ever project, and apparently factory failed their first release just couple of days ago. It might take 3~4 weeks for them to develop their second version. Please be advised.

---
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thunderflare:
That stinks. I was really hoping they ship it next week as the plastic that came with the phone is coming off the edges and creating air gaps.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrmako777:
got an update today

ill prolly end up getting the pink stylus lulz
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasondhsd:
Hmm hasn't the international version been out since may? There must be a reason no one else is attempting this curved protector probably can't manufacture it. It's probably just about impossible too install I have a tough time centering non exact protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
Tridea has created and is selling one on ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mansquared:
oh snap i didn't read the free stylus part...lol free is free..i can handle pink too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kgbkny:
I just looked them up on eBay. The estimated delivery timeframe is August 8 - August 21. At this point, I think I'll wait for the Spigen screen protector. I'm currently using a Tech Armor screen protector, which I'm not too happy about. The entire area with FFC and proximity sensors is left open. I can't wait to get rid of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
I was just stating that there ARE other companies making curved protectors. That it IS possible to manufacture.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] getrdy:
The only reason i chose the nano over thr curved crystal is my concern about the instalation. I got a curved one for my sensation and it was a pain to install and get the bubbles out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
Got my curved crystal installer today....

Easy.. very easy to install...

Cant even tell its on the phone

Screen is crystal clear and feels like glassglass

I tried taking a picture.... but its so good you can't even see it on the phone in the picture... so pic isn't any good

I highly recommend the spigen curved crystal.... best gs3 screen protector I've used so far....and I've tried out about 4-5 of them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redsoxticket:
Now that the install went smoothly and it looks good tell us the case that you have with the screen protector
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
Incipio feather.... it doesn't even touch the protector
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Biker1:
Just picked up my Curved Crystal.

Glad they give you 2 protectors, as I usually screw up the 1st application.

Whatever, if any production issues there were, hopefully they're all resolved.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sensui123:
Hoping someone can give some feedback about this protector with a Rock case or Diztronic TPU? The flex HD did not play nice with the Diztronic in my experience.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
what????

You don't make any sense
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeamon:
Question ???

Does any one know which screen protector will work well with a "Belkin Grip Sheer Case for Samsung Galaxy S III" (link to Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Sheer-Samsung-Galaxy-Clear/dp/B008589ZZU ).

It would be great if some one can let me know if the Steinheil Curved Crystal protector works with this Belkin case. Thanks !!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] baghera1979:
Is anyone with an otterbox commuter case planning on getting this screen protector? Curious if it will fit seeing as how the case has a rubber lip that comes over onto the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KingOmega:
is this screen guard preventing finger-print? just like nano optic
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
Nope. You can just wipe them off as the surface is almost glass-like. The only issue that I see is that if you stuff your phone in your "linty" pocket the edges are lint magnets and lint will eventually get in between the film and the glass. The film will then end up lifting off the edges

I guess I'll just keep trying other products. Don't get me wrong this is a nice fit and the clarity of the film does not diminish the screen's capability.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] matthewmcquay:
Seconded! I just got my Commuter and the P.O.S screen protector it came with wasn't cut even for the phone!

I imagine that if you were careful, you would be able to get the case on without screwing up the screen protector. If anybody has any info on this, it will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
Either you had a bad install or your pockets have ALOT more lint than mine because I have zero issues like that. My curved screen protector doesn't get anything stuck around the edges and doesnt not peel up...I csnt even tell its on the phone. I put my phone in my pocket ever day...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] o2man98:
I installed the curved protector and have the Diztronic case. Sadly they are not playing nice with each other. The edge of the case lip is right on the edge of the screen protector which it pushes on with any pressure on the sides.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vincent26:
Does anyone know or can guess how this screen protector will fair with the official clear slim case from samsung? From the pictures i see the case comes over the screen just a little bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] locoboi187:
Mine shipped yesterday. Will let you guys know how it is
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Biker1:
Curved Crystal fine over here. In and out of pocket every day, multiple times. No lifting at corners. No lint on edges. Crystal Clear. Adhering well.

Smooth as glass.

Upon installation, I noticed one of the edges in the top right hand corner, approx. 1mm, seemed not to adhere well. Meaning I saw some whitish color to it, as if it wasn't adhering to the screen. I kept pressing it down but still saw the whitish color. It is sticking well on the screen though, without any lifting issues.

Also, I have one protector left, and got the first one on nicely.

Usually it takes me 2 tries with these protectors, but not with this one. So, I have a spare just in case.

I top rate this screen protector, and highly recommend it, as of this writing.

It's only been a few days, but so far, so good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vincent26:
Are you using any kind of case with this screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sensui123:
Well.....I don't think it's possible to have an entire screen protecting protector with a tight TPU like diztronic....guess I'll just stick with my SGP nano clear and diztronic combo.....seems to be the best I've seen.

With the Rock case, I bet the curved protector will work but after using the Rock for 2 days....I switched back to the diztronic TPU......it's just much more protected.....I prob wouldn't be so paranoid if I didn't have kids hah.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] neilvj:
Hey

I'm currently using invisible sheilds on my sg3 whick work really well except for the back which just started peeling on one edge, is there another film that you would recommend?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Biker1:
No case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Word I got my glacier otterbox commuter and I love it. I got the nano screen protector installed from my SGP case that it came with and it works good so far. I wanna try this out but I don't want my otterbox to interfere with it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Im hoping the Curved Crystal and kraken case will be a perfect match.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] baghera1979:
From what I've read, it shouldn't be a problem. I think someone said that the screenie doesn't go completely to the edge of the phone,so with the case it should be fine. Try it out and post some pics cause I have the same case. Just waiting to get the protector .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Biker1:
It doesn't go right up to the edge. Almost though.

As close as a screen protector can get to the edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Perosma:
Which

So which one i should buy guys Curved Cyristal or Nano Clear ? Is there anybody that used both ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dja2k:
Damn that's bad news, now I will have to buy another case to use this screen protector cause I am currently using a Diztronic TPU case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
I ordered the curved crystal from spigen site to go wirh my Acase Superleggera Pro case on August 8th but they still didnt even ship the thing...Why do they have for sale if they cant ship it?! I dont get it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mmmalas:
I am in the same boat here
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Biker1:
My first Curved Crystal started to lift slightly at the corner.

I attempted application of the 2nd protector, but I screwed that one up.

You got to line up this protector perfectly, or you will most likely have issues.

The 1st application was about as perfect as you can get, but an edge didn't adhere perfectly. I should have let it be.

Now I have no protection currently.

I may try again, but don't look forward to shelling out another $18 or so bucks, totalling $36 for protectors from the SGP site directly .

I'll check out Amazon and ebay regarding purchasing the Curved Crystal again. Maybe not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlakWReX:
I used ghost armor it also fits perfect and doesn't lift.

Sent from a Galaxy 3759295 light years away.

Thank me if I helped :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Anastayja:
I have used both and they are both very clear and both also feel close to glass after they have set on the phone for a few hours (this is totally my opinion and others may disagree). I do believe the curve offers more screen protection than the nano. When I removed the nano to put on the curve the outline of where the protector laid was very distinct and needed some cleaning even though I wipe my screen often due to finger prints. The nano does not cover the entire screen like the curve does. Honestly though, you can't go wrong with either. Just depends on your preference and if you want the entire screen covered (curve) or if you are OK with the a little bit of the edges (sides, top and bottom) not being covered (nano).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Plushe:
I tried both and prefer the curved just because I like keeping the whole screen covered. I'm a little afraid it's not as scratch-resistant (usually I buy the anti-glares) but it really looks like bare glass. Under a bright light I can see a bit of a rainbow effect though. Currently using it with a speck candyshell and it didn't peel off the edges, either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tonytownsend:
My curved crystal shipped this week it on its way
[Galaxy S III Accessories] steveim:
does this one leave dents easily? my nano has dents all over the protector -.-
[Galaxy S III Accessories] circuit.007:
I keep getting little small rainbow like effects when I use my thumbs on the screen. Probably from oil on my finger but it happens more than usual. I don't think this screen protector is oleophobic. Very visible on white background and screens. Didn't have this happen as much on previous screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 45FGF:
I hate a dirty screen screen saver it would be more people in a bad mood
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NvigR8:
I got mine today and it went on rather easily. It fits well and looks good. Crystal clear and nearly as smooth as the natural surface. Scratches easily though. I dont know about dents yet. Im using a CrazyOn case. Its edges come up just over edges of the protector sand will hopefully keep then from peeling our picking up lint. I got it from Amazon for about 10 dollars if anyone is interested. I also ordered a Seidio hybrid case but have yet to receive it. Will review later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dhjean:
I installed these on my and my wife's S3s. The biggest challenge was getting it aligned right to start with, but then they went on fairly easily. We worked to get all the bubbles out. After settling a couple of days, I can't even see them on the screen. They feel just like the screen and are easily cleaned off.

I appreciate the info about cases that work/don't work with this protector. While I will go without a case, my wife is looking for one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattwaddy:
Wow! I have just fitted mine after having an xtreme protector on since day 1. This is so much better. The fit is superb and i cant tell its even on its that good. The feel us like glass with no resistance. The clarity is also like glass. I cant believe the difference. Wont be looking back thats for sure :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
does this one feel "tacky" the Zagg one I had was nice, but felt a little takky, and then when I put the Zagg in my waterproof bag, I could not get the phone out cause it stuck to the bag! ruined the Zagg and also the bag!

I want something that wont be tacky, but will fit nice!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lightpsycho:
Anybody here uses the curved crystal with a Kraken case? I want to replace my Skinomi by a non-tacky protector which would cover the whole screen...I've been reading for hours now and it seems like the Curved would be my only option...

Why? I have a Jot Pro stylus and found out that its TOTALLY unusable with any wet-application protector (i.e: urethane-based). I just sticks around! On top of it I tried cleaning the protector with an isopropyl alcohol cleaner and there was some weird reaction, the protector was blotched/blurred by the alcohol...

EDIT: Also, all the Spigen protectors seem to cover the sensors...anyone here had a problem with that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dhjean:
Well, mine felt quite tacky/sticky the first day (maybe two). Since then, I haven't felt a difference from the naked screen. It's smooth and easy to use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattwaddy:
Mine isnt at all tacky even straight away
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleepycat3:
This screen protector is not tacky. The tacky ones are the polyurethane protectors like Zagg and StealthGuardz.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mmorabe:
I'm in the same boat. Have a Trident Kraken case as well and want to get a GOOD SP. This one does seem to be the one but I'm curious if it will get jacked up. At least it's not like the glas.t that was on my Note before this, that was too thick and the Kraken barely fit lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lightpsycho:
*sigh* I sure hope somebody here can help us, I don't want to order another protector and then find out it ain't going to work again. It's not really the money that matters, but the shipping time...I can get it from eBay member all_city but it's in California and I'm in province of Quebec, Canada...it is to cross the whole continent diagonally...!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vashht:
I put mine on yesterday and its starting to raise along the edges, I jacked up the first one putting it on too so I guess I'm SOL for the time being. I wish companies wouldn't pull this gimmicky ****, I'd rather have a flat screen with easy to apply edge to edge screen protectors.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lightpsycho:
+ 1 for that...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] f16pilot:
I can't speak for the Kraken specifically, but I can atest to the fact that the sides of the Curved Crystal protector pulled away when I put on the Trident Aegis case. I only attempted it with the first of the two protectors (yes, I managed to get dust under the protector fiddling with trying to keep it down). After I put on the second protector, I didn't bother trying to put the Aegis case back on...I'm now sporting a leather folio style case that protects the protector.
