I also have a black protector, any ideas how to remove/cover the brand name mercury?

The color screen is NOT flat black, so it's gonna be hard. Find some glitter black marker pen?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
Has anyone in the UK ordered one of these yet and if so where from?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
If anyone is concern about the coverage, it offers one of the best edge to edge, and reading the thread someone say it doesn't have 100% coverage, from what i have gathered, no phone has 100% coverage.

Also you will get better coverage if you buy the curved edge version, also know as the newer version, the old one is flat and not curved, the edge is cut back about 1-1.5mm.

these photo's are the best I can do to show what I mean with the curved version.

Another thing, members have mention that no light is visible through the capacitive buttons, see photo's.

No light

with light
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eiraku:
Weird, with my Black curved Color Screens I can SWEAR I'm not seeing the button LEDs at all.

And I'm looking at it in a completely dark room too.

Maybe has to do with the fact that the white S3 leaks light all over the buttons lol. Or maybe mine has manufacturing flaws.

No issue though, I'm digging the Gundam head look when it lights up, now that I've cut the area around the buttons out.

Guys,considering that ill order 1 black version soon,i have a question for those who have it already...from what i see in the pictures u posted,the screen is not clear(correct me if im wrong);bow,ideea is ,considering i had an cheap mattwd screen protector before,wich i removed because,specialy in low light conditions,screen was like an old lcd,with micro colored pixels ,specialy on white pages;this Mercury is same,because im desperate to get rid of the white face of my S3,and this is the only way it seems.Thanx.

You've really got to break this up into sentences. It's really hard to read. I've read it several times and I'm still not sure what you're asking.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
just got mine and installed the white (found i already have a TINY scratch in my screen... and i BABY this thing!).

I must say I am rather impressed with it!

The screen part is a bit dim Amo_rphis, that is not a major issue as I usually have the phone on next to no brightness anyway.

Coverage is AWESOME! It is one of the easier protectors to install as it's a dry one. Plus if you get some fingerprints under it on the colored part... WHO CARES?! :D

Do love they give you a clear one for free, so wife get 2 clear ones since I got black and white, lol

Also wish it didn't have their name on it as I loved getting rid of the Samsung name... but can deal with it.

Cheap-O clip on case will not work with it. I even tried working what little nails i have in but clip on the side kept pushing it up a bit. Have a TPU case I will try once I get the extended battery and let you know how that does.

I JUST JUST finished putting this on, maybe 10minutes ago, so I will update with thoughts/comments/concerns but so far I am liking it.

Update 1:

Screen does feel different too. Feels like the plastic that it is, lol. Definitely miss the glass, but it is not bad by any means and doesn't lose any sensitivity. Might RainX over it to see what that does, lol

Also the soft buttons do glow and can be seen, but are much dimmer than without. In a dark room it almost looks like the negative area is glowing and the icons themselves are black.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Amo_rphis:
Ok,sry i know my english is kinda bad;I try simple:

1.the screen protector is clear or no(mate...or semi-opaque)...that antiUV or something like that)?;

2:if is not clear,then,in low light ,when brightness is low ,u can see on white pages, small colored pixels ?

Explantion:in low light/screen brightness,if u have a clear screen protector,u can see all smooth;if u have a mate,antiUV one,its like small colored pixels all over the sceen,specialy on white.

Hope this time is better explation.

Sucks we have to order all these cases most of the times.

Usually in Korea or any parts of asia you would walk into a nearby grocery or small store and they'll have a bunch of these cases/protectors.

Not to mention if you actually go to a nearby "market" not just a plaza of stores you would typically see in america. There are so many variety of unique cases that are never seen by us NA/Eur's lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
It has a very slippery feel.:victory:

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

I have about 12 different cases, about 4-5 of them wont fit my unit, as I have a korea unit which is a little thicker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
actually, compared to the glass, it is not as smooth. IMO it is more "grippy"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Anastayja:
I just got my protector today and installed it numerous times and can't get the air bubbles from around the edges to go away no matter how hard I try. Will stick until I move my finger and then come back. Anyone else having that issue? Bought the case to match so don't want til just trash it. :(

I guess I didn't buy the curve edged version, sucks... have a link to it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I had that too, be sure the screen and film are SPOTLESS. Take some scotch tape and get it off of the film and keep wiping down the screen. Took me a few attempts, but got it 98% spot free now. Will work on the others when I get home tonight.

Here is where I got mine... link to white, but just search "mercury color s3" or something and that's them.

I've used them on some of my older phones and they're pretty decent. It's obvious its a sticker but they are high quality and cut very well.

Hey guys, may I know where online can I get button stickers for the sgs3? Similar to the one above?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
There are no home button stickers on that phone, it's a white phone, so that's why the button is white.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

Ordered mine from the same vendor, and it wasn't the curved type
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
so I've had mine on for roughly 15 hours and it already has a scratch in the protector. Luckily it's not noticeable when the phone is on, but while it's off it looks like I abuse the thing. and truth is, I baby it! Wish this thing was a bit more resilient. Most of that time it was sitting on my valet at home charging or in my holder next to me while I was watching TV. Only traveling it did was in my otherwise empty pocket.

I tried installing the clear one on the wife's phone and could NOT get the insane amount of air bubbles out, and the top right corner wouldn't even stay down. -and I know how to put them on, mine is near FLAWLESS as far as air bubbles go. I know it's a completely different style but wonder HOW cheap those clear ones are. Anyone gotten one of those on nicely?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
That's not a sticker. Just a white GS3 ;)

BUT

This is what your looking for.

http://www.zoarah.com/cell-phone-cases-accessories/samsung-galaxy/

Same here. Order 2 from amazon from this same vendor and while the package has the "hot forming" sticker depicting curved edges, the screen protector is not curved and leave an unsightly 1-2mm gap between the edge and where the protector starts.

Extremely disappointed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rouvax:
I bought Black one, it's easy to apply, better than i expected but i really dont suggest Black one for white phones because you can see white lines under it on the edges of screen. For White phones you should buy colored ones like yellow.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Amo_rphis:
I just got mine ,black version;

I wonder,its just the one i got not covering full edges,to the silver ring(on the edge of the phone)?

I saw some of yours pictures(with yellow and green),and that ones seems to cover all colored(white/blue) part of the front;mine,the black one,its like 1-2 mm shortest,dont reach the silver part....wtf

PS:have a white version of i9300 international,and remain like 1-2 mm white on the edge of the front.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdamF77:
Can I see picture of your one? Interested to see what this gap looks like.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
I noticed all the things kms puts up we cant get. I feel like he puts up all these nice things that's only available in korea to taunt us..... Mine has the same exact problem as yours. I tried from ebay and amazon. None of them covered the whole screen. The boxes do claim it has a curved edge so maybe the korean s3 has different dimensions.

And yes im getting jealous.... :crying:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
So none of these protectors on ebay or amazon or really curved? an how well do these fit with a case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
No offence, but is it just me or does anyone think some one is not searching hard enough, everything that I have put up is available outside korea, people who knows me or purchased things off me knows this.

I do not live in korea and never been there, so how was I able to get these stuff.

No matter what you want i'm sure there is a way to get hold of it, it' just a matter of $$$.

i'm also curious, what other stuff that you cannot get, that I have.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
If I can get my hands on a camera (since my phone is my cam) I'll take some shots.

Let's put it this way tho. When I put on the screen protector then put the phone into my triobump, I can still easily see the original color between where the screen protector ends and the case lip starts.

The sides hide well but lift if I squeeze the case slightly because its cut short and not long enough to actually go under the lip and I can see the phones original color at the top and bottom tho. I have to be extremely careful removing my bumpers slide because the lip of the slide hits the lip of the screen protector when removing and it can/will lift up.

In the pics I've seen in this thread, I guess they are supposed to go damn near edge to edge. My package has that "hot forming" sticker depicting its curved,bbut my protectors are definitely not curved. I reuse/remove them when I swap bumpers and battery covers so when I take them off, I wipe down my mirror and keep them there until I want to use it again. They sit on my mirror flat as can be.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Gaps on my white are similar, but cut slightly worse then the red. Red actually has a bit less of a gap, but I just have pics of the red since I swapped screen protectors the other day.

Looks nowhere near as good as some of the others I've seen in this thread...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
why does it seems like mine is the only one that reaches right to the edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
yours and the yellow one in the op are nearly perfect. the 2 I ordered are far from what you two got. :(

here's a pic of the package mine came in. Has the "hot forming" sticker showing its curved, but the protector itself isn't curved. Only dif I notice package wise is the lack of the holographic sticker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
the hologram sticker is the hong kong authorised sticker, so if it's not from hong kong, you shouldn't have it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Thats what I thought aswell, But the Mercury website says that the product without the holo sticker is not genuine. I dunno. I emailed them about the inconsistencies amongst the screen protectors. Hope to hear from them soon.

I also see no mention of there being a curved and non curved version. Just the 1 type.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
sorry, i mean the large sticker on my photo's.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

you are confusing me, you say you dont have the hologram sticker, but your photo of the package has one, my photo has a suntronic authorised sticker, it's only on the official hong kong version.

but either way, all original ones has the small mercury holo sticker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SGT2012:
I would like to see picture if possible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Dun worry, I'm begining to confuse myself. Confusing the stickers up. Still, hoping for some sort of response from Mercury about the inconsistencies between their protectors sizes. I wish mine was edge to edge like your is and they show in the pictures. The gap is a bit annoying when I can still see it even with a case on. XD
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I was at home when replying to you in the last few post using a online keyboard, rather difficult. I put it in detail now, all authentic mercury product will include a small mercury hologram sticker as stated in your post 104, so without it, it could be a fake, in hong kong it will also include a big hologram sticker with the word suntronic and a telephone, this is the authorized dealer sticker in hong kong, but in hong kong we also get a lot of imported stuff including mercury product, so without the suntronic sticker, it doesn't mean it's fake, it just means it hasn't been through the official distribution channel for sale.

so in conclusion

with or without suntronic hologram sticker makes no differences.

without mercury hologram sticker means fake.

with the mercury hologram sticker can mean real or fake, as the stickers are easily produced.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] streetuner718:
these look nice but im not feeling the matte finish on it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
This is my reply from mercury

So.... are the ones that actually go edge to edge a fluke? Why have the sticker showing curved edges if they're not making curved protectors? Did you guys just get lucky and get a good cut? This inconsistency kind of sucks....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
if you want I can just go to a random store and pick one up, and see the results.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
You don't have to, unless you planned on pickin up another. While appreciated, I don't want you wasting money for my sake.

The one that you received, was the protector noticeably curved by chance? I know the ones I received were completely flat. If the ones you can get are infact curved, would you be willing to ship to the US? :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
i've been through 5 protector in 1 week, just trial and error to find a good one, if you want one I can help you get one.

right now I'm using a 3d mask film, ultra clear and has excellent coverage.

The one I have, you can see the curve right out of the box.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SGT2012:
Just wonder the same thing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
All the ones I see had curved edges, with the exception of the earlier ones that were not stated as curved edges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Lol I swap my screen protectors like There's no tomorrow. Especially since I found the colored ones. Swap from red to white and the realook 3D curved protectors are nice too. Cant decide if I like the realook or the sgp curved better tho. I've also a crapload of the cheaper ones since they came with the murcurys and a lot of my cases aswell. Usually put some of them on my mirror or cover the back with tape so I can reuse them later. :)

If you could that would be freakin awesome. I can PayPal you Friday just let me know what you need. No rush. A red and white would be awesome. May try and hit you up for a green and blue sometime in the future too if I could ever find a scheme I like to go with them. :P haha

I find it weird that some are curved and some aren't. Especially when the woman from Mercury said they don't make 1:1 protectors because of the curve. I don't know what's going on. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erickomen27:
I Just bought one on ebay hopefully it's everything I want!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Yes, they are matte screen protectors, but I like matte protectors personally. I don't know of anyone else making a similar product.

Sorry for delay;look at post #100 ...its the same as the red one posted by that guy(mine is black)

I rly wish also;i try for few days to cut the transparent part of protector and put instead a clear one;until now i couldnt find a proper dimension for the clear part....keep trying.

I also whanna say that the part near home button and speaker is a bit curved;also,i managed to apply without dust and bubbles after few tryes,so washed with cool water untill i managed to apply proper,and i can say that the protector still have the glue and and managed to apply it...so at this point, a +1 for quality.

that's such a bummer that the red ones have so much space... i would love to get the red one if it had close to the edge like the green and yellow ones...

maybe the ones sold via hk are different from the ones sold by amazon?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OTAw:
Good find. I didn't know there were any colored skin guards with a screen protector included. The only kind of customization that I've found are those vinyl skin guards from "skinguardz".. but they don't offer any screen protection, which I find incredibly stupid.

So now with this finding, I'll be ordering a black one soon for my white s3 :D

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Nit3mare:
So I received my white screen protector today, and all I can say is that I am greatly disappointed. Like most of you with the gaps between the protector and edges, I ordered mine from Ebay. Had the holographic Mercury sticker and seemed very legit. After applying the protector, I just laughed at how silly it looked, tore it off and threw it away. Waste of $10, that's for sure. I suppose I'll have to keep looking!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
so are these legit or not? I ordered the Spigen Glas.T for me (in white) but my wife likes everything pink and would be thrilled with the pink one found in the first page of this thread.

Sorry i dont intend to sell these. they are non-branded. so not sure what the quality is like. but all i can say is. they do have good coverage like the one's i have posted.

and they are clear protectors. not like mercury which are matt anti glare.

also they dont have red. only something like tomato like colour.

I can confirm that the one's i get are real. i have stated that the early batch had no curve. and will leave a gap like 1-2mm
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Hmm non branded? Are the back and menu buttons still printed on them like the mercury? If not, and they do indeed have better coverage like the ones you received I may like them alot more. Lol

Always hated that they printed the buttons and their logo on them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I haven't tried them yet. when I get back to hong kong i have a glass protector. right now i have a 3d mask self healing curved protector.

Its a waste for me to try. that why your the lab rat. if you like it, you probably wont remove it.

looks identical to mercury, but without the name at the bottom, and is solid colours, not glittered and with gloss clear screen.

Putting it against the phone shows good coverage like my green.

colours available are

white

black

lime green

light blue.turq like colour

tomato red/orange

pink

and cant remember the last colour

the company is called bulkin, there are many shop up here that stock their protectors and cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
i c.. i was mostly looking to see if i could change the color of the phone. i don't need all that anti glare/matte thing.

I would love to get it still if you are willing to send it. ofcourse I wouldn't mind compensating for all the cost. but if you don't want to that's ok.

ps. tomato is still kinda red isn't it? It would rock if it didn't have the mercury branding as well... I'll just have to see if I can get one of my relatives who travels to china to see if they csn find it for me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
