Just in case you haven't heard, we have received our stock of the revised Marble White Spectre. No dots. Not proximity issues. Stronger adhesive.

And I've been hearing of a lot of problems with SGP's.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gunner86:
Are the blue ones now with the new adhesive and no dots??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1ManWolfePack:
Yep, I read that. I happen to have the Marble White.

Might give it a whirl...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Blue is still the same, we're looking into getting them revised too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ServError:
No love for red, huh? Oh well, maybe in due time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Will have it in about a week or two.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ServError:
Ah, that's good to hear, I imagine it'll already have the revised design of the white?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Yessir.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gunner86:
If i order one can i request a revised version when it comes out?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdinphx:
For the record, Poya has gone above and beyond to service this product, in spite of several issues with the original design.

Aside from the nagging proximity and adhesive issues, I have really enjoyed my Spectre. Aesthetically, it is pleasing to the eye and to the touch. After experiencing tempered glass, you will never go back to a standard screen protector ...

Incidentally, Poya responded to my email request for one of the revised Spectre's in less than an hour ... I really don't know how customer service could get any better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
Will you be getting the revised blue version then as well?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Is this the best tempered glass protector for the s3 right now? How does it compare to sgp's glas?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
Nice. I didn't know that they were getting updated. I hope that a blue with no dots shows up in the wild soon too.

Xgear/Poya's support

I've been following this thread for quite a while now, and saw many people flame XGear and Poya.

I would just like to say, that even though the unit I've received had the proximity issue and therefore decided not to use it - I've received EXCELLENT support from Poya.

XGear gave me a full refund, and agreed that I wont have to pay the cost of shipping the product (overseas) back to them for the refund, and that I can keep it (not using it though because of the sensor issues).

I understand that some of you were frustrated by the defects in the product, but XGear were very responsive about it, and took full responsibility for that. Poya was kind and supportive all along.

I definitely think about buying the revised Spectre and not the SGP one, because of the good customer experience I've had with XGear.

I'm just waiting to see some hands-on reviews on it before I buy it again.

I've seen many people here that decided not to buy from XGear because of all the flaming, so I guess that a good customer experience story might make a difference.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hin83:
The revised version looks promising, but i think if they want more people too know or buy the Spectre, then they can post some pictures or a youtube video of the revised version on the Galaxy S3. And not least maybe have a campaign for this Spectre screen protector with a good discount code especially for XDA members ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Agreed. A youtube video showing the new revised protector in action n a discount code for xda would help them a lot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We will have the revised Pebble Blue models in around October 1st.

I have a few units going out for review, will post the reviews here.

As for the discount code, can't do it. $34.99 is the set price, however I talked it down to $29.99.

These are not cheap to manufacture. The profit margin is very low. I've had to do a lot of convincing to get my bosses to keep up with this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
I can't get on your site at work. Customer service has been up and down with this, but it seems to be coming around. Need to find someone who has the SGP and this to compare.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
So is the new price here on out 29.99?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Price has always been $29.99, other than for pre-orders.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
I can not help but to continue to be amazed at the spectacular level of customer service I have received!

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Is the good customer service extended even for International customers?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
To be honest if this was offered in a variety of different colors then I would order one in a heartbeat
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
Oops, my bad. It's been a long day. Lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
I have been thinking about getting the Spigen but after reading through this thread, I think I may order the Spectre instead once the revised ones are released. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
The white revised is out. The only thing I would worry about is the rainbow effect in the center of the screen that people are talking about. I'm guessing that is the same problem as Spigen is having, where the center isn't glued down so it creates a bubble there, lowering the responsiveness, on this one it creates a rainbow effect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdinphx:
Is the rainbow now an issue because the dot matrix was eliminated?

The original Spectre was free-floating in the center and did not produce a rainbow effect ...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
This was the first time I heard about it back when they first came out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d.cortez:
when will the revised blue version be available? my blue Spectre shattered yesterday after my phone was (accidentally) knocked out of my hand and fell face down on a concrete floor. i'm very thankful that i had the TPU case and the Spectre screen protector on the phone! thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We countered the rainbow effect with another fix, however I cannot tell you how.

Should be a few weeks, I don't have an exact date yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NCRoadster:
Will pick up the revised blue when it's released.

Will it be on amazon? I see the white one there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babydo:
I'll be getting this soon--I hope it doesn't have the insensitivity problem like the SGP one :crying:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
I have had zero sensitivity issues with mine. Had it for more than a month
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
I might check out the revised blue. I like the feel of the tempered glass, but these dots are freaking annoying.

The only issue is, I'll be up over $60 invested in these things. That's a lot for screen protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It will be on Amazon a few days after we release the revised version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
How better is this compared to the sgp glass? And does the superb support of Xgear extend to international customers?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Thank you! I shall wait until its out and get one. I hope this will fit with a UAG case, oh well i'll try and see once its out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
I bought the original one in blue but sent it back cause of those dots. I did have some loss of sensitivity but that's cause I tend to touch the screen lightly. They were nice enough to give me a full refund.

Now that I hear they have gotten rid of the dots I'm willing to give this protector another try.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] asjdwf:
I was interested in getting a glass screen protector because I am so tired of trying to get a plastic/acrylic protector on with no bubbles or to fit right lol. How bad is the home button recessed? I'm reading comments about it being bad then good (The protector itself). How does this compare to the Spigen?

Thank you all

AJ
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
If do not find it bad at all. It's noticeable at 1st but after a day or so I don't even notice.

I really like it. I think many of the issues in the thread get overblown but there have been some issues.

Sorry can't compare it. I don't own the other one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hrc4u:
Can't we who made the pre-order on the first with dots and now place an order for the dotless get some sort of nice offer atleast? ;):D

GT-i9300 CM10
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
I tried out the Spigen, the issue with sensitivity is not going to work. I have heard a couple people say here that they had the same problem. Does the new white one fix sensitivity issues also? I have to pay return shipping to Spigen, ridiculous.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
I've had xgears specter from the beginning, and sensitivity has never been an issue. It feels really nice actually. I believe when the updated blues come out, I will purchase one off those as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
Can anyone confirm? I touch pretty lightly, but never had a problem before the SGP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
Never an issue with sensitivity for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigDogPooh:
I got the revised unit yesterday and just installed it and it works flawlessly. The adhesion seems to be stronger and absolutely no issues with the proximity sensor. Dots are also gone which is a nice benefit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Thanks for the review! I can't wait for the blue to come out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] friedrice21:
there is a writeup on google now on how to diy this screen protector :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Diy for what purpose?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mbh87:
For the proximity sensor issues I believe.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] asjdwf:
so if I order one from the website now will I recieve one that has no issues like the first 2? Rainbowing, dots, or sensor problems? Just wondering.....I really want this.

Thank you all

AJ
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
You will regret picking up SGP GLAS.... sensitivity issue need to be resolved.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
I'm curious about this too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Tell them it's defective, I don't think any of us who got this faulty GLAS had to return it. Most of us got full refund and still kept the faulty product.

Anyway, Ordered new updated Spectre on amazon! http://www.amazon.com/XGear-Spectre...&qid=1347682313&sr=8-1&keywords=spectre+xgear

I can't wait to get it and take this SGP GLAS off!!! Driving me insane....

P.s. would have been nicer if rev.2 had "Samsung" logo cutout...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LOL_EVO:
I'm hoping that the revised blue version retains the "Samsung" logo cutout
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
So we order it thru the site or amazon? I know the site has the revised ones but does amazon have them too?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] reluttr:
I believe Xgear are the ones who are selling the product on amazon as a third party seller, meaning it should ship from their "xgears" warehouse.

So any of the protectors bought on amazon should be the v2 version. ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
They both have rev.2 :) I made sure before I purchased! If you read product description it says "updated model"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
But isn't the newest one version 3? So from xgears I should get the most updated one correct
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Oh yeah it is v3, my mistake. v3 is the one with proximity sensor and no dots, so amazon does have the latest one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Oh I checked amazon thru the app n I seen it but I didn't read thru the whole description. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cordell12:
Have any of you bought the case that they offer when checking out? CASE, just wondering if NFC will work due to the aluminium, and how much thickness it adds.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It won't have the Samsung logo, as this is trademark infringement. SGP is currently in the process of being sued for being idiots.

+1, try not to think of them as V1, V2, V3. Think of what is on sale right now as the "latest model" :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chavdar:
according to the web site of xgear they also have pebble blue. Has anyone ordered one and is this the new improved version?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:
For those of use who purchased the original release, will you be offering a promo/coupon code for us to repurchase the revised version at a discount?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
This is the old model. New one will be available in a few weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Hey pmoardi2002, I currently have SGP glas and anxiously waiting on Spectre.

Just curious, I know review said it doesn't have sensitivity issue like SGP's but what is the difference between the two? They both look and apply the same?

I'm just little worried I might run into same issue...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I can't say since we do not have the SGP version, however we have never had any issues with sensitivity on the Spectre.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Wouldn't you be able to purchase the SGP for the sake of comparison?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
I have 2 GS3s each with Spectre protectors and no sensitivity issues. at all! not even a little bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gbert15:
I want to purchase this ASAP but first want to know if there were any problems/annoyances with the home button being recessed! If there are any annoyances/problems, how were they resolved?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
Sooo anybody have this with the Diztronic or Modello case? How is the fit and pics would be great:)

Sent from my Sprint GS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdinphx:
Probably for one of us to do ...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jal3223:
No problems here. I actually prefer it now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gbert15:
Thanks for the info
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
I sent an email but haven't gotten a response in about 3 days. I'm not upset, I can understand that a lot of email are coming. But I decided to post it here maybe someone else can help me out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I saw your email and actually your email was the only one I didn't respond to, simply because it was too long hah.

We've been super busy in the office due to the iPhone 5 release :rolleyes:

I'll get back to you tomorrow when I'm in the office (which I technically shouldn't be due to the holiday however I work for communist Apple).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdinphx:
1. Coverage is greater than the Spigen, based on other reviews. All but one mm around the perimeter of the phone's face is covered.

2. Home button will be recessed, but not uncomfortably or unusably so. No button sticker is provided. I wouldn't expect Poya to comment on whether another company's screen accessory might or might not work with this protector. (If the sticker covers only the button, it will probably work.)

3. The revised version has no dot matrix and exhibits no rainbow, as far as I can tell.

4. Sensitivity is identical to the bare screen . I am neither a twinkle fingers, nor a masher.

I am sure I forgot something. In any event, this is a great product -- represented on xDa by a great guy.

I, for one, will not use an S3 without one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
LOL I love your semi professional but realness replies on these post. Sometimes I hate that feeling that you are speaking to a Robot.

Thanks. to let me know that it was tl;dr.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] doubleohseven:
I love the looks of the GS3, I hate having a case on this phone.

As soon as V3 comes out, i'll be buying one of these bad boys!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
LOLOL

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Ugh, I read through, what i believe, the whole thread so that I could legitimately say that I have.

I wanted to know If I put the while spectre on the blue..how would that look? If anyone can upload pics that would be good.

But also I read that they'll be coming with more colors. I am really excited for the color red. I wish I could some info as to when that'll be release

And more or less how it would look on a blue sg
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
Did no one see this thread HERE comparing the 2 products???
[Galaxy S III Accessories] drxngo:
Been watching this product since version 1 came out. Glad to hear the changes xgear has made and I am waiting for the new blue to be released.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
Nope. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
I'm hoping the specter will work with a UAG case. I'll let you guys know once the revised blue ones are out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] relaksua:
hi...i am wondering is the screen protector selling on Spectre's website...is the revised version??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
As of right now. The white one is the only one that is latest one. Latest one meaning, no dots/grid and no proximity problems

The blue one should be coming in a couple of weeks - a spokesperson for the company said.

I say at the end of September, begining of October the blue one should be here and already out
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
So for this screen protector, the home button is recessed and there is no solution for that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] relaksua:
Thanks...already ordered the white one...hopefully it works as promised :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
If am not sure what solution you are looking for? There are stickers available if you want to go that route(mfg does not provide any) . I don't feel it's a big deal and don't have any issues. Just takes a little getting used to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Oh ok. What kind of stickers are those? Is it not hard to depress at all? What is the best price we can get this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
Look on ebay there are a few different styles. As I said I don't find it an issue. Just a little getting used to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paramount X:
I too was wondering about the home button and it being recessed. But those are stickers.. and if memory serves me correctly, stickers are made on paper and how would that help. Papen thin. Can you give a specific link

All the info you need about home buttons!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] littleguevara:
They arent stickers, they have some bump to them, they by no means make it flush though. The ones seen in my review are actually the ones that came with the Spigen glas protector i just left them on.

Works fine as you can see
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gbert15:
Just got mine today and I love it! I can finally take off that SGP Curved Crystal protector that I had that was easily dented and had orange peel! The protector fits nicely with my Case-Mate Pop! Home button is recessed and was hoping it was flush somehow but its all good! Its not really an annoyance but I might try and buy those home button stickers and see if that makes the experience better! From what ive read though they are mostly outside of the US! Anyone care to link one if they've found a US seller for these?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I know it's expensive but if you buy one of those aluminum button stickers, it will look and feels literally same as stock.

Most of them are on ebay.

Only site I know of selling those aluminum buttons is http://www.zoarah.com/#homepage
[Galaxy S III Accessories] idlejoe:
how does it do in the sun?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flameinthefire:
so is this screen protector any good? is it worth $30
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
There's a slight differences, the size of the buttons is actually smaller, that only covers the colour part the home button.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Are you talking about your aluminum button or celldeco? Celldeco one I'm using has bigger aluminum buttons. It covers actual home button and stick out like 0.5mm all around. As soon as I receive spectre I will post some photos :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gbert15:
Just ordered the Celldeco buttons but only opted to pay for the $6 shipping! For those who ordered these, how long did it take for these to arrive?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
mine took close to 2 weeks since it was coming from Korea :3 not sure where yours is coming from?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gbert15:
Got it from the korean site also linked here! Did you go for the $6 shipping as well?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
My friend got the celldeco real ones and I got the fake celldeco ones, they are the same size, and little smaller than the actual home button.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

There is a wallet case that I seen from the same site, can't find it in hong kong, so i'll be ordering from them, it works out cheaper than from gmarket, when I ordered my last case it took only 2 days from korea to hong kong.

sorry that this is off topic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
lol, I'm starting wonder which one I got? Cause my button is definitely bigger and covers entire home button. Confusing...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
i'm so pissed off, i just got my Spectre order and it looks like new update version but I'm having proximity sensor issue. I installed it 100% perfect, but everytime i make a call it keeps turning screen off and unable to hang up or anything.... WTF!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LOL_EVO:
Im assuming you have the white version correct?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Yes, it's white version, i thought white version has all the defects sorted out??? This is so frustrating and disappointing!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] popdog54:
I just got the white version today and have no problems. You said you installed it perfectly, so I won't doubt you, but maybe there is dust or something else underneath the screen protector on the actual glass.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, it's not like this is my first time installing this kind of screen protector. I got really precise how everything lined up, made sure nothing got in between... it didn't help. Everything else is working perfect as stated. I'm just so frustrated right now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
I am having the same issue. I think the cut out is to small on the one I got. Put my v2 (that I had sharpied) back on and sending the new one back. No complaints though. Customer service is great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Oh wow.... so I'm not the only one with this issue with v3... glad to know. So does this mean even if I get the replacement I'll run into same issue?? Or is this just bad batch?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
I would say just bad luck. If it was a real issue there would be more people commenting.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I sure hope so in that case I'm gonna try to get replacement first and see how it goes... I should have known something was wrong with one I got. Seal sticker was all worn out like someone already opened it and there were weird marks on glass itself, very minor but noticeble in certain angle and light.

I wish you luck with your replacement Moricon, and wish me luck too!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
Even v3 of these are having issues now?

Interesting I don't see any spg employees coming in here and trash talking xgear. Lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
If you're having issues shoot us an email and we'll test a replacement before sending it out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Thank you pmoradi2002, I purchased through amazon and I have sent email asking about replacement but haven't got any replies yet :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aznknightz17:
I also have the spectre came in today and also have a major proximiety issue. Screen will not turn on once off during calls. =\

PS. How can I tell if its v2 vs v3? My cut outs for the holes are pretty small.
