I thought the same, I have followed this thread and the galaxy nexus, information just keeps changing, these companies just keeps saying one thing and do something differently, I was hoping infact a clear sreen protector that was indicated when first released, now it's a choice of colours(blue or white), the reason is that they cannot make this clear version too many problems.

I think it's the edge problem, maybe the colour part is to cover up the bubbling or air gaps along the rim so people can't see.

i'm waiting for a brand called tg film, they will be releasing a all clear version for the s3 indicating a hardness of 9N and thickness of 0.3mm, hopefully they keep there word on this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Do you have a link to the tg film?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
the link is www.tgfilm.com.hk

but it seem to be off at the moment, but if you have a facebook account search for 'tgfilm', but i will post if I get further information.

So far they have released a iphone version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BADtoBONE:
Anyone think the home button cut will be fixed?

It seems very annoying, although an excellent choice.

What about putting the phone in a solid case - otterbox/tridnet? will it fit?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] milkybarkid:
I asked about the home button and got this reply unfortunately "Our factory does not include those cutouts so they are unavailable from us, and I am not too sure if anybody would carry them."

:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
Thanks for the reply, but that picture didn't really answer my question. Does this protector have a curve and cover edge to edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ehaze:
in for user reviews.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BADtoBONE:
well, any ideas?

You ever ran a business? **** happens.

He started a thread to see if there was interest. He had to have it made. First revision didn't work - he set about on fixing it. He kept everyone up to date with everything, more than he needed to in my opinion.

If you don't like it, feel free to start your own company and make a better one. Or, don't buy one.

In the meantime, please quit trashing one guy trying to help fill a market need.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
He is helping promote their business, and this is against forum rules and regulation, thats why one of his thread was closed.

My post is to allow people a second option, people has the right to choose whats right for there needs, I know many people are dissapointed with the constant change in specifications and delivery date.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Just got an email that my order shipped!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
PLEASE, PLEASE do a big review and pics for me... us....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
I got mine in today and I updated the OP with additional pictures and a Q&A.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maven808:
For those who have had their item shipped when did you folks place your order? Placed my order on 6/21 for blue and its still in processing. Starting to get old...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Thanks swerv for that quick review. Question though. You note that the dots are visible on a black background but can you look at this movie trailer to see if it's still noticeable on the dark scenes?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASQqjK47c04&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I like to watch a lot of movies on my device and this could be what finally convinces me to get it or not.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kabro91:
Yea I preordered around then when the ship date for preorders was the 3rd of August. Still processing, and they have not responded to my contact us request :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
That trailer looks sweet on this phone :)

Here goes.. when I watched the trailer in the dark..I only see the dots on the bright scenes. So yeah..its one of those things where if u stare at the screen long enough maybe your mind will block it out. I'm being straight up. I guess I'm the only one with it until at least tomorrow ?? Folks gonna b***h for sure..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
I will be watching this thread as I am interested in the outcome of the redesign. I canceled my order because of an email informing me of this redesign. I have installed an iVisor and the fit is perfect. The easiest install so far. The only con is that it's MATTE. It reduces the sharpness of the screen quite a bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
When did you get this email....??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
If my memory is right over two weeks ago. It explained that the redesign would have borders with matching finish.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
fwiw, mine went to the spam bucket in gmail..... I didn't know until I looked based on visiting the website (wondering if they had posted anything about shipping/in stock status).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Just installed mine.

With the screen on the dots look like little multi colored spots. Kinda like when a drop of water is on the screen

The clarity is great and it feels like glass.

It was super easy to install. By far the easiest screen protector installation I have ever done.

The home button is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. It feels different but I will get use to it very quickly.

One great think is that it fits under my otterbox defender case! I had previously removed the screen protector that comes on the otterbox.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Ohhhh..I know what ya ll talking about..

The defender is that hefty case right?.. Let us know if u have any lifting issued in the coming days..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I think they call it the defender because if someone breaks into my house I could beat them to death with this thing!

Seriously tho it's not very heavy at all
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
Got mine today, anyone else having problems with the proximity sensor?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
My wife's was and a battery pull solved it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I know I am having the proximity issue. When I'm on call I can't end the call without having to shine a flashlight right at the right sensor!

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Ok so I removed the screen protector and the problem went away. Re applied it and the problem is back. There is a major problem here.

pmoradi2002 did you guys test these before shipping them out?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
:eek: WOW This could be HUGE if somehow not an application error or manufacturing glitch
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
If I remove the protector and the problem goes away then it comes back when I re apply it that's not an app error that's the protector.

I'm about to open a case with PayPal because I just tried to email them through their Site and it says I can't email them to try again later?? Wtf
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We've had this installed on our S3 in the office for 3 weeks and haven't had a problem, I'll need to look further into this and see what is causing it. I'll try to take a video tomorrow if I get a chance.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AzHavicx:
Glad I read this. Was thinking of getting this for wife's red SIII not now due to poor color choices no clear. And all the stated flaws. Think I'll stick to inv.shield and there lifetime replacement I have use them for past 3 year on A prevail and a SII and last few weeks on My SIII and I have flawless installs no micro bubbles or lifted edges...and never had to replace one ever. To me the inv.shield is hands down the best affordable screen protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Ahh..I didnt know what ya ll were talking about...then I recalled the only call I've made the screen went black after I put the phone up to my ear...but it stayed black and I had to battery pull to end the call :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
So I'm not the only one having this problem? I know not many people have received their protector yet but of those that have at least a few are having this issue?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Good thing I waited. I think I'll go for the SGP curved crystal for now. Things definitely changed for me when they altered the design to no longer be clear.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
I'm not sure what color phone you have .. but I have the white on white and the color is a perfect match. But as this is the first time xgear is hearing about this it's fair to give them an opportunity to look into our issues and respond.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
I have the blue version. If I had the white one I wouldn't care since it's white but i really enjoy the pebble blue color samsung created and am not sure how well xgear replicated it. Hopefully some good reviews showcasing the blue version pop up soon.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I'm looking into this proximity sensor issue, it seems like only a small number of people are having the issue which leads me to believe that they either received a defective item or that it is a simple misalignment issue. Whichever it is we will take care of it so rest assured that you won't be forgotten about.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
When I put it on the camera was aligned perfectly as was the home button and the speaker. I actually tested the all alignment.

I called my wife's phone and had the issue. I pulled the protector off and the issue went away instantly. While still in the call I re applied the protector checking for alignment and the issue was back. I did this several times trying to find a spot a little to the left or right or up or down that would work but nothing did.

I am fairly certain that it's not an alignment issue.

My protector feels like plastic when I hold it by itself and when I tap on it. Is that just me? Maybe because it's flexible and normally glass is rigid?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
Yeah, it seems its constantly "covered"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] davpel:
Before I consider putting mine on, I'm wondering whether anyone with an SG3 is NOT experiencing this problem? I not doubting the manufacturer's claim that this is an isolated problem, but then again I've yet to read any anything in the various forums who has it working right on an SG3. Lots of great reviews and comments about the GNexus, though, which is a good thing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Alright guys, figured out the problem. It seems like the protector is too reflective and it is reflecting light back into the sensor causing issues. A quick and easy fix is to use a Sharpie and go around the cutouts, this will fix the issue. This is the best and easiest thing to do as you literally can't mess it up, you won't be able to see it, and you wouldn't have to wait another week for a replacement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
Is this issue with the white screen protector only? Does the blue one have white backing also?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It does seem like it is going on with the White one only. The Blue has a Blue backing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
next batches will have this corrected, i'm assuming? when will they be available? Would LOVE for this to be perfect as I'm done with the protectors that end up collecting lint on the edges
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It seems like the protector is too reflective and it is reflecting light back into the sensor causing issues. We have since fixed this issue, please contact us on our sire to arrange for a replacement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Does having black sharpie on the back show through at all to the front? I don't want it to look grayish from the front once it's installed.

Will you ship us the replacement first so we don't have to wait 2 weeks for a replacement of the defective unit?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
That is what we are doing. We are shipping all replacements via USPS Priority (2-3 days delivery), then having customers send the defective unit back. It will all be in the email that we reply back to you to.

I replied to the email you sent explaining about the sharpie. Is that good or do I need to send a new email?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SONE9:
I don't have one of these as I cancelled my white preorder just before, but this is excellent CS right here. I will definitely consider grabbing one soon :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattyguk:
With that sort of customer service, I'm sold. I should be putting in an order in the next few days. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
I'm really intrested in this product and I have to decide between either this or the SGP curved crystal but not being able to see what the blue version actually looks like is mainly what's stopping me.

Any chance of a picture please pmoradi2002?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
Mine is coming today I can put up a pic this evening. Or if you check out the YouTube videos they show the blue.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK0y5Xjtd1A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
It's hard to get a 'true' represntation through that video because it's covered and to be fair for some reason I was under the understanding that the finish for the blue version in that video isn't the final version, I don't know why/where i got this from.

Thanks anyway but some pictures later this evening would be highly appreciated :good:;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stc1:
I also will be getting one. The CS response tipped the scale for me. Keep up the good work, Rick!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rossguy:
Can anyone else with a TPU case weigh in on fit with it on? I have a diztronic TPU case and love it. I would hate for it not to fit when the screen protector comes in. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
I'm awaiting the fixed batch, but for a quick review: GET IT! It's the same awesome glass feel one's accustomed to when receiving their phone with the security of having the actual screen protected. The only con is that it negates the "invisible" effect of the hidden notification light and capacitive keys, but it's a sacrifice worth putting up with to have the best feeling screen protector. As for the whole recessed home button thing, it actually makes it feel easier to use it!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
My screen protector should be in my mailbox when I get home. Can't wait.

I have the diz tpu. I will let u know!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdinphx:
I wholeheartedly agree ... significant screen protection without the cheesy plastic feel.

I love this thing. A fantastic accessory for a fantastic phone ...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
once the new batches get some reviews, as long as it keeps up the amazing review, might have to buy me a white one
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
I canceled and re-ordered about 3 days ago. Will I be getting the revised piece?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
All orders shipping out as of yesterday have the issue fixed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
What did you do to fix it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
So it was expensive but decided to give it a try. Main selling point for me was I want to get the otterbox defender case but I didn't want the plastic scratching up the front of my phone as it can do sometimes. This way it'll scratch the protector and not the phone. Anyone try this with the commuter case by any chance?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] os91:
Does anyone else with the product not mind the pixels? I think they are very noticeable on white screens like Gmail or my browser. Not a fan of them. Everything else about the product is great though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We put a film on the back that is out of sight to provide a black area that does not bounce back light.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I don't like them either. Time will tell if I can get use to them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
so i just installed the pebble blue screen protector. was going to post up some pics but my camera died and now i cant find the charger...

it looks great and feels great. the fit is perfect. the color of the blue is a little different. not sure if its darker or just doesn't reflect as much light. the brushed metal look isn't as prominent on the screen protector as it is on the phone. but that's ok. i think it looks better that way. looks more of a navy color to me.

my diztronic tpu case fits it well. i also have a rock quicksand case. that one doesn't fit as well

the little "pixels" or dots or whatever are definitely noticeable. especially on a lighter background. they refract light and look "rainbowy" i dont really notice them though when watching a video. they kind of bother me. not enough to rip it off and send it back or anything but still.

i guess that's the only negative. but not a deal breaker cause its slick, looks real nice, and should be pretty durable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
I prefer dealing with those tiny rainbow dots, than orange peel, or ugly dirty plastic screen protectors! With this thing, my phone always looks premium!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rossguy:
Just installed the protector. I love everything about it except the dots. It went on really easy, feels great, home button is fine, and I love the protection. However, these dots are going to drive me crazy. I can notice them on pretty much every screen and they have the rainbow effect. I will most likely be returning. It's a shame too. I love the protector but I just can't handle the rainbow dots. If they don't bother you then there is no screen protector that will come close to this one. Shame.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] negeri:
does Seidio SURFACE case can fit up with this glass screen protector?

thinking of buying one
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
This has me concerned. Can we return the protecter even after we try it out?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ImARaptor:
This is going to sound crazy, but can I buy one of the recalled ones that people sent back in? Or maybe one that someone doesn't want anymore? I am a college student, so I am trying to be frugal, but I cannot stand these crappy $1 eBay matte screens I got. I am very eager to try this product, as I want to feel the glass but I get nervous handling a bare phone lol. This looks like an amazing product that will let me try some white out on my blue SGS3 as well! Thanks!

:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
It's not worth it.

Does the edges of the case fit over the screen? I'm in the market for a new case..please monitor any lifting issues for me..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Has anyone tried this with the Cruzerlite or Incipio NGP cases?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
Any pictures of the blue version yet actually on the phone? :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
thank god I didn't buy one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
Yea they do. But not my much. Its stuck down pretty good. Doubt there will be lifting.

I am using one of my other cases now. A ringke slim lite. The slim cases still fit, but the ridge that was there around the screen isn't there anymore. Its pretty much flush as the glass protector makes it thicker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Why?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hammersfd:
Got mine today, in pebble blue, very easy to install. It looks and feels great. The fit is awesome, and I actually like the home button depressed a little. However, the dots in the glass may be a deal breaker, they are extremely distracting, especially on a white background. Its a shame, great product otherwise.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
pmoradi2002, I know I've read somewhere those dots actually do something, but will you guys be putting one out without the dots?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I wonder if the "coating" can be removed? You can feel the dots on the under side of the protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
Why would you want to remove them. They are there for a reason. And you can't feel them while using the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
he is wanting them gone for visibility reasons, not feeling. Several people have said they are rather distracting and take away from the beauty of the screen (which is a big selling point of the phone).

Like I said, I know I read somewhere that they actually do something, but cannot recall what they do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rkennison:
"The Spectre also features a layer etched with dotted grids to apparently prevent discoloring in sunlight due to UV radiation. I didn’t find the grids at all distracting although I suspect there will be some users who may not be too pleased with it. "

And that is where they lost me. At 30$, a screen protector should NOT have crappy artifacts on it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Here's the reason why they're there

Supposedly these were unnoticed at normal viewing angles/distance but it seems that may not be the case with the reports we've seen so far.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
They ARE NOTICEABLE at normal usage distance. They create a rainbow effect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
After a few days you don't notice them as much, the only way to notice is if you are extensively concentrating on looking for them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hammersfd:
Definitely visible from all angles, including straight on, even worse on light backgrounds.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
any pics to show us? or can they be seen in pics?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ImARaptor:
Instead of spending $30 on a protector that adds artifacts to the screen and that only protects the front, while possibly making it too big for all cases; I think I am going to go with the Crystalusion Liquid Glass Protector. It's half the price and protects the back, but it is also antimicrobial and superphobic. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hammersfd:
Not sure if they can be seen in a pic...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
I don't get how a liquid application is supposed to protect your screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
Has anyone found out if we can return it if we use it? I read u have 30 days for unopened products and opened stuff has a 20% restocking fee. But I'm wondering if they even let u return a screen protector after you've installed it? I mean with shipping its almost 40 bucks. I hate to not be able to return it if I don't like it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
They are required for this type of application.

"The dots like a chess in the glass, we called UV handling, this is a kind of high patent technology.

We produced glass before, many customers said the glass would appear rainbow in the screen. This is because between tempered glass and phone glass, there has air and will appear rainbow. The display will become deformed.

Now, all of our glasses are processing by this UV technology. Whatever how long you use, there will not appear rainbow."

[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
You're superphobic.

ImARaptor, if you get the white and don't like it, I might be interested in buying it from you if they won't take it back if I could save a few dollars
