Just ordered the white one from Amazon and my sensor is 5.0cm--fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] molopasm:
Thanks for the responses!

Looking forward to getting a blue one - I have seen mixed messages about whether or not a diztronic TPU case would fit this case. Anyone have success?

Also any coupons available at this time? =D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Loveabelle:
So is the blue Spectre on the website the latest version? Thought I'd make sure before buying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] parkgt:
In a case like the Ballistic Maxx how much screen shattering impact resistance does a tempered glass protector offer? The Maxx comes with a rigid plastic protector but the optical qualities are not great.

Is there a better protector for screen impact protection not scratch protection?

Dropping on gravel is a concern as it will shatter a screen. Don't ask how I know!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
My order still didn't arrive so I sent amazon an email about it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
I just got a chance to install the new updated blue version, and I have to say that I am truly impressed. I actually can't think of a single thing

that needs to be improved on it now. Not only are the dots gone, the "oil spot" that was a problem on the first batch has been fixed as well.

Also, the customer service that I received was excellent. I got a prompt response from pmoradi2002 , and he was very eager to answer any of my

questions that I had. Thank you for that pmoradi2002. If you are on the fence about trying this company or product, I defiantly recommend you give

them a chance. In my opinion I feel the blue version is flawless now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kitsunisan:
The new models work well with standard tpu cases? Any problems with it being lifted by the edges?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
*edit* Sorry, I read your question wrong.

I haven't had much experience with

very many cases besides the case/

holster combo from Verizon. I haven't

had any lifting issues with it though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Of course when I send amazon my email Wednesday about not getting it, yesterday purolator tried delivering my package yesterday. I thought I heard a knock at the back so I went to check and didn't see anyone. Then I hear something in the front and go check and see him drive away. Oh well no biggie I'll pick it up after work today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hrc4u:
Got the new blue version today...so far no issues...and I have the 8cm sensor also...feels promising :)

GT-i9300 CM10
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Just picked up mine today, but I won't get a chance to install until later today. I'll take pics, here's hoping it will work with my UAG case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jimlmackjr:
so what im reading is if u have the 5.0 sensor you shouldnt have a problem

i just checked mine and i must be lucky i have a

AT&T in White with a 5.0 sensor so i shouldnt have problems Right
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
I couldn't find where my wife put the camera but so far so good. I noticed a small dust flake which I will have to fix but so far so good. The spectre will work with a UAG case.

Update

I reinstalled it a few more times and am satisfied. There is a very small hair on the left hand side between the glasses but I'll live with it. No touch screen issues yet but I havent had it on too long either. I'll make a review after a few days of normal use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zgoo07:
I have the newest pubble blue. No dots here. Very clear. Btw no proximity issue at all. I am very satisfied with the protector. I am probably going to buy the white for my wife soon.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

I am using rock case with the protector without any problems in case if anybody is wondering.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CarbonblkM3:
Any updates on the latest protectors? Anyone having any issues with them? Any sensitivity issues? Just ordered the updated Pebble Blue hope everything goes well i Have a White Sprint 3 with the 5.0 Sensor
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
Debating if I should get this, or SGP's Glas. They both have decent reviews, with of course the bad ones. Both are around the same price. SGP seems to have better warranty and customer service though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bsheedy:
I ordered the white protector for my blue s3. Put it on today and so far I love it, no sensitivity issues, no proximity issues and no dots. I had the SGP glass protector on and removed it after about a week because of sensitivity issues. SGP had stopped selling them for a while and now they are selling them again so I don't know if they have fixed the sensitivity issue or not. The Spectre covers more of the phone screen than SGP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
I'm really enjoying mine, love the glass feel again. I have the latest blue specter and no issues with it so far (5.0 cm). Way better than the rubbery condom texture of my old zagg hd.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kitsunisan:
I think I'm sold on getting this, just have one question about it. One complaint I've seen about the SGP screens is it collects a lot of dirt around the edges, turning black after a while. I get that ymmv depending on how you care for it, but is it really an issue with anyone who's had this for a while?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] omerbs007:
i got a blue phone with 8 cm proximity sensor. it wiil work with the blue spectre although they say in their website that it's not working?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
My phone feels like a light tank. Armored with a UAG case and a blue spectre. Really wish I can find that camera.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Please by all means go with SGP. I tend to let people learn from their mistakes.

What you don't realize on SGP's reviews is that they are controlled by them. Notice how they have little to no low reviews on their site.

The Pebble Blue Spectre will work, the Marble White may have issues.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CarbonblkM3:
I just ordered the updated White version off Amazon. Will I have issues with it if i have a 5.0CM Sensor?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
My brother bought one lf these for me and second day i had it i noticed a huge crack running down the middle of it... didn't drop it or abuse it or anything.... just went over and picked it up off my desk and saw the crack.... was very disappointed and took it off.. shame cause i loved it....

Don't think ill be buying another... i baby my phone so not sure why it broke... maybe defective.... not gonna spend 30 more and possibly have the same thing happen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] doubleohseven:
Hey, has anyone tried an SGP bumper (http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...-galaxy-s3-case-ultra-bumper-lumi-series.html) with this screen protector?

Im assuming it wont work, since a little bit of it covers the edge of the screen, but thought id ask and see if anyone has given it a shot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Halorl:
Just got my white screen protector in today.

Installed it and I'm having the proximity issues. According to the proximity sensor finder app I have a 5.0 sensor.

I haven't tried the sharpie trick yet (has that even worked for anyone?), and have requested a return, but would like to keep using this one in the mean time.

Is there anyway to disable the sensor until I get a revised version? I've seen how to through TouchWiz, but I'm currently running AOKP and cannot find a setting to disable it for the life of me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
After using this for awhile I noticed the UAG case isn't perfect with the spectre. I'll add a review soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sfetaz:
My v2 pebble blue spectre just bit the dust. I dropped my phone twice this week with no case on, as i was waiting for the seidio extended battery cover to use with seidio active extended. The first drop cause a small edge chip. The second drop completely cracked the spectre. My S3 itself appears okay.

Sent from my unlocked VZW Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jaytronics:
Judging by the looks of it. If you didn't have that protector on it, you would be purchasing a new screen or using an insurance claim. I would have to say that that protector did its job and then some.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nuron:
I have a white GS3 with the 5.0cm prox sensor and the white one I bought off Amazon didn't work. I'll contact the OP to see if a replacement is possible, otherwise I'll go with the SGP next.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Replying to your PM. You'll have the same issue with SGP as they have the identical item.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
I had zero issues with my sgp protector. All in the way you install it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
I just purchased one of these but am very disappointed. The protector has a very noticeable "oil spot" in the middle of the screen. I emailed them hoping they would do an exchange and was told I installed it incorrectly (even though I did it exactly according to the instruction). I re-installed it according to their instructions and the spot still appears. I emailed them back and was told to do an exchange through Amazon. Unfortunately Amazon does not offer that option and my only choice is to return it for a refund. That is fine except that I have to pay the shipping to send back a defective product. Pretty poor customer service in my opinion and I will probably not be purchasing another one as a result.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I'm sure others will chime in and confirm that the "rainbow" is fixed after readjusting the protector.

If Amazon does not offer an exchange and you are unhappy about it why did you not notify us?

Sometimes I just don't understand.:eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
I attempted to re-adjust it several times and the rainbow effect would not go away so while I cannot speak for others I can tell you that it is a problem on the screen protector that I received 4 days ago. The reason I did not reach back out to your customer service person is because they were extremely short and unhelpful with my previous correspondences. I figured they should know their policies with Amazon and whether or not exchanges are possible. To send me to Amazon and not have an exchange option basically struck me as them not wanting to deal with me. I'm sorry if you don't understand but after spending $32 on a screen protector that is faulty it's frustrating to receive such an unhelpful response.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mustang2012:
Put yourself in customer shoes and read your own comments. You seemed to work for the company and you are damn good at criticize people's complaints and never provide any support with solutions.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Pmoradi2002 is really the worst customer service representative ever. He even thanked your post as a sign of sarcasm. What kind of guy is this. He deserves to be fired, really.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ndinadis:
I just got my White spectre in the mail and I am having huge proximity sensor issues, I contacted the company and am awaiting a response, I would like to see if I could try another as I like this better then the SGP glas that I had on before (I didnt have any issues with it, except for me putting a finger print under the glass)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
I want to say 2 things...

First I just received my white sp and it is beautiful. . No sensitivity issues and no proxomity sensor issues. ( 5 not 8 here )

Second.. I pmed him befre purchase and his customer service was awesome. I highly recommend him and this product.

I was really expecting this product to be thicker but I love it.. its thinner than I thought and works great
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
I'll have to be fair here, even the glasszone had that rainbow / oil spot after applying and i had to reapply it and it went away for good, i guess it's because a part of the glass is touching the screen and others are not? no idea.

Anyways, i don't think that can be a product defect. try re applying again.

Also, little information on the sensor issues for those with 8cm sensors, it will work if positioned a little bit more to the right of the protecto (leaving more space in that side of the sensors, that worked with my glasszone and it fit perfectly, might be worth a shot since these are similar products.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
I actually adjusted it probably 20 times. I tried everything possible to get the oil spot to go away but nothing I tried worked. I was instructed to only apply pressure to the edges and not the middle. I did this in every conceivable way and nothing I did made a difference. I also noticed that there were a few small specs in the glass itself right next to the oil spot which were possibly the reason for the spot. While I'm sure they have many issues with improper application I don't believe this is one of them. I think I absolutely had a defective product and I think the company would be better served to improve their customer service practices and work with their customers instead of assuming the customer is in the wrong. I own a company that manufactures and distributes a number of consumer products so I am well aware of the challenges that come along with manufacturing and providing proper customer service.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
I have the new blue version, and there is no oil spot whatsoever. The new batch is 100% fixed. Just a word about the customer service. When contacting him in a professional manner, the customer service is wonderful. When you try to "publicly" complain and criticize through a forum...well, you deserve what your getting in my opinion. Just email the company people! He will be respectful and fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ndinadis:
I had no intentions of badmouthing them on the forum, I just wanted to see if anyone else with a 5mm sensor was having as bad of issues with the sensor as I was, I loved every other aspect of it better then my SGP *(I messed up re install and got dust under it)

I am awaiting hearing back from customer service as far as what to do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
I was basically referring to the ones complaining about the quality of customer service only from the responses on a forum... in his free time no less. I meant no disrespect to you man. I hope your problems are resolved quickly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
I actually ordered the blue version and it does have an oil spot so I wouldn't say that they are "100% fixed" based on your limited sample size. If you read my earlier post you would have seen that I did contact them direct and they were not helpful and instead pushed me back to Amazon rather than trying to get the problem taken care of themselves. I would have preferred to handle things directly and discreetly but after feeling like I was getting the run around I felt like it should be posted on a forum so other people could be made aware of their questionable customer service practices. To say I am "getting what I deserve" is a pretty ridiculous assertion. What exactly am I "getting"? I've already returned the screen protector and I simply won't be purchasing another one. I'm glad to hear your screen protector has worked out for you but please realize that not everyone's experience is the same.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You were sent back to Amazon due to the fact that your order was placed through Amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
Yes but my order was shipped directly from XGear and I was in contact with XGear customer service regarding a product defect that had nothing to do with Amazon. I simply don't understand why you would cause a customer undue expense and time by having to go back through Amazon. Especially since going back through Amazon meant I would have to pay for shipping, return the product for a refund and then re-place my order directly through your website at a higher price (since these were no long available on Amazon).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You were required to go through Amazon since we need a record of the conversation on Amazon. Also, it makes it a lot easier for us to look at your order and such when you contact the seller on Amazon. The Spectre is available on eBay for the same price as they were on Amazon, however you would run into the same exact situation if you needed to contact us.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paradisimo:
I apologize but as someone who also operates a storefront on Amazon this makes no sense. If a customer contacts me about a defective product that was shipped to them I handle the situation right then and there and with as little inconvenience as possible to the customer. After all the customer has already been inconvenienced by receiving a defective item and having to take the time to get it corrected. It is quite simple to get their Amazon order # and match it up to an order on my end. I could understand if it was a flat-out request for a refund as Amazon charges fees and you would want to get these refunded as well but in this circumstance that just seems like an unnecessary procedure that does nothing but further frustrate a customer.

Also to state that the conversation needed to be recorded through Amazon is a flat out fallacy. I was not asked to communicate through Amazon I was told to do my exchange through Amazon (which was not even an option). Sending me to Amazon was an attempt to finish communications with me, not to begin recording them.

At this point it is pretty clear that you feel like your company is not in the wrong and obviously I feel like they could have handled things much better. It is pointless to continue this discussion as it is unlikely that either of us will change our position and I'm sure other posters are annoyed with it. Anyways, best of luck to your company and hopefully at some point you will better understand my position.

I think they are losing sales now because sgp is putting out a new revised product that is great, and does a far better job with customer service, and they are just trying to save costs where ever they can.

Here's a reason there aren't a lot of these type of protectors around, and that only the large companies can do it properly.

I have a new version of the sgp white and it's great, zero issues with it. And it includes the home buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mustang2012:
Mate..... There are lot of manufacturers out there who will happily ask customers to return the product for a repair regardless where customers bought the product from and that is CUSTOMER SUPPORT.. SO DONT TELL US THAT!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Hah it seems like you guys don't understand but that's okay ;)

Same exact version that we have.

Ridiculous. As soon as there are issues, cut and bail, and ask to close a thread on one of the largest forums for the items you sell products for?

Congrats on the money you did make, I hope you invested it wisely.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I work 14-20 hours a day, I was going out of my way to answer questions and such here however it is clear that it is unappreciated from most of you, which of course I am fine with however I have no reason to stay and deal with your antics.

A lot of you do not understand what I have to deal with and how much of a toll it takes on me. For those of you that complained about how I treated you- I treated you the same way you treated me so no reason to complain about it. I went out of my way for most of you to make sure you were happy. Broke lots of policies, gave deals out, provided exchanges and returns when I was not supposed to, etc.

I do not need to redeem myself, this is the internet. If any of you would like to visit the office I'd be glad to apologize/thank you.

If any of you are still interested in this topic there is still a thread on Rootz, however be warned that it is carefully watched by mods and I do not want what happened here to happen there.

:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nuron:
I was satisfied with the OP's customer service--he offered me the choice of either a refund or exchange for a blue protector when my white one wasn't working. Really folks, is it that hard to file a claim at the outlet where you bought the item from? It seems like people feel entitled to some sort of special treatment. I was find with turning off my proximity sensor since I don't make a lot of calls but I decided to try the SGP and it worked in their version. It's a hit-or-miss with these things.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dito33:
Why there are so many oil spots to so many customers and what causes that.

there are non available for the S3 at the moment, this is for the pre-order.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IBNobody:
How does that work? The edges of the S3 glass are curved. What is there to stick to? Is this tempered glass curved at the edges to follow the curve of the screen?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Where there is paint on the screen protector, there is adhesive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IBNobody:
Yes, I understand that, but that doesn't answer the question.

The glass of the GS3 is flat but has a curved edge.

This tempered glass protector is flat. It sits flat on the screen.

Isn't there going to be a gap between the protector edges and the curved edge of the GS3 screen? How can the adhesive reliably stick to the curvature of the GS3 glass? Is the adhesive molded and curved?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
The edges go all the way just before the curve. So all in all about 1mm (if even) of the edges of the screen are not covered, which are technically still protected due to the design.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
Wait, so this isn't curved to fit the screen all the way to the edge? I thought earlier in this thread we were told it covers the entire screen.

^ That is a good review, the home button would be kinda annoying to use with it on. They would have provided a little button you could stick on the button to make it stick out a bit so its easier to press.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
yeah, i've watched that, I'm more interested in what the users here say about it after a month or so after the "newness" of it wears off and how it is holding up to scratches, dirt, etc. And hoping to see a sale (that I apparently missed) after getting thumbs up from a few people on here.
