So there we have the links. These are all some of the more popular screen covers all wet apply all urethane based. Obviously the first two flopped and failed and i'm very happy with the last and here is why:

Spigen:

So Spigen is usually a pretty reputable phone accessorie company, this package comes with your base solution spray bottle, squeegy, micro fiber towlette, and TWO clear screen protectors. So i was going to split the 18$ cost with my bro who has an s3 as well and. Here were the problems...

1. Clarity - all my protectors had great material clarity, but the spigen has this bizar issue where there are these large patches of distortion. you can feel the difference between the distortion patches and the rest of the material. And of course most importantly when your screen is on it appears as these large distracting rainbow patches. Very distracting, and both screens were riddled with probably at least 10 to 20% of the entire screen was this distortion.

2. Customer service - This is what cracks me up is the blatent lies that followed. I bought from amazon but decided to be a big boy and see if spigen wanted to have a go at standing behind their product. In response to my plight i was told this via email:

"Thank you for contacting SPIGEN.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Diana from SPIGEN.com at Amazon.

We are sorry to hear that the distortions on your screen is causing you an inconvenience. But the little marks you see on the film are from manufacturing the urethane film, this is true for all other brands as well.

So even if we do send you a replacement, there’s a possibility that the distortions will still be there. This isn’t a production defect, but the nature of the product itself.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you."

Here is (or will be when i get home) a picture of their screen

I've used these type of material screen protectors for years and years, and obviously many brands. I can confidently say that i do agree that those little defects are a material TENDANCY of this urethane stuff, but it in no way should be played off as something you need to look past. If it is from manufacturing then maybe its time to vamp up the quality control.

Final grade - unbearable, unusable as a clear protector... cause... is not clear.

Skinomi:

Skinomi techskin is the same basic product. Comes with all the same basic supplies except only one cover, and costs 10$ almost half the price. I could see why spigen got 3 stars on amazon and this got 4 (though i would see it more as a 1 vs 2 star comparison). Problems...

1. ALSO 3 huge defects that covered about 30 percent of the screen overall. HOWEVER they were completely different, these appeared as if there was water underneath the screen pooling there. I could see them clearly before i took it off its sticker pad. But they were more of a slightly different hue than a blurry rainbow patch. What it comes down to is that once installed and after 24 hrs and installation bubbles cleared, when the screen was on I couldn't notice the defects, only when it was off.

I may have kept it for a while except for..

2. hold cutouts were not geometrically accurate to the phones features ie the home button sensors and front camera. Lol this is funny to me seeing as the outer cutout and these holes are LITERALLY the only thing this product needs any design effort placed forth. But i have a lot of years of experince installing these, and spigen was actually good in thsi area, but with this you had to descide basically what you wanted covered,and in the end i had to choose wether i wanted the film to partially bump up over the home button or the speaker grill.

Needless to say I went to the mall and had Ghost Armor install my screen. I paid 21 bucks and had some lunch while i waited. More money, less effort on my part, and literally a FLAWLESS product, and i've seen 3 other s3s with the same results.

I don't know if these rotten cell accessorie companies send the best product to their retails stores or booths, and mark down the rejects and hope people won't put forth the effort to return the product and throw a fit, i shall and have :).

All 3 of these felt good to the touch, not as sticky as zagg. Also all 3 would without a doubt protect very well the screen. But DO NOT waste your time on the first two.
