Small review with DBA large cut screen protector and two quality cases. Otterbox and ballistic

Large cut, ordered from DBA site this week and not installed nor removed from the punchout. Only placed on top of my Zagg for photo purposes. As you can see it does not cover all the glass :(. The Zagg has more coverage, zagg has total coverage side to side for that matter (Note: you cant see zagg in photo, just sayin). I am not affiliated with zagg in any way, Only mention zagg because its what I currently have installed. DBA was ordered to replace the zagg but that is not going to happen now, in my opinion the DBA has room to improve in the glass coverage area. I heard mention of curved corners make it difficult to cover more glass but on my opinion this screen protector could be designed with more glass coverage before it reaches the curve :rolleyes:

Poor glass coverage

ALSO..... my otterbox case holds down the edges of the screen protector and keeps protector from peeling at edges which seem to be a common issue especially for me and my line of work (construction). With the DBA protector, the edges are just barely on the outside of the case edges. So a case will not help with keeping the screen protector on and there is just enough room for dust dirt and grime to works its way in to help peel away. I give the DBA a fail nor recommend unless you have a pretty boy lifestyle.

Photo of protector edge and otterbox case lip edge. The clear edge you see outside of case is square protector casing not punched out. Screen protector doesn't even make it to the case edge. Major fail in my book

I also have a ballistic case. As you can see the edge barely makes it to edge of case. In my opinion case movement, case edge to screen protector edge may even cause screen protector edge peeling. Bottom line is...... the

DBA needs more glass coverage!

!

To be fair I did not install. Maybe it looks great on....... but useless to me as the coverage is lacking for sure. I give the DBA a fail nor recommend unless you have a pretty boy lifestyle. And as mentioned before, don't depend on a case to help aid in keeping the protector from peeling at the edges what is a common issue in most cases. I am not here to flame DBA nor angry about my purchase (only $15 dollar loss), all above is my personal opinion and review! Please excuse my grammar and review format, not my profession :p ..............but I do know what is functional in life outside the office!!

COLOR="Red"]]I get free zagg replacements at the local mall so maybe I will install the DBA and give it a try for review purposes only. any interest in me doing so?? If not I won't!! [/COLOR]

I love the Otterbox by the way. I heard complaints of bulkiness but thats not really the case considering the GS3 is so small/thin in the first place compared to other phones.

No there is a little tiny crack in the PC. Otherwise it's fine.

Well I did write a response and deleted it. This review is so ridiculous it needs no response. Wait, did I just read that you called everyone on the forum who bought one a pretty boy? Hmmm.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] naturecannon:
No I dint call everyone a "prettyboy". Figure of speech so to speak for a protector that does not protect entire screen and for those a little lighter on the phones use and abuse . I apologize if anyone took "prettyboy" the wrong way. Poor wording on my part

Your response to get a stir from the members is to be expected considering my review, reminds me of the dirty election tactics going on now to redirect attention!! Pics speak the truth anyways.

Protector is lacking glass coverage, plain and simple observation. Maybe some dont mind the coverage, just putting my opinion out there for those who need more coverage and those who also need a protector to go beyond most case edges to aid in covering the screen protector edges to prevent edge peeling. Very common issue if you are always pulling phone in and out of pants pocket.

As far as ridiculous goes, the only thing is see ridiculous is your attitude. As said in my review (more like a post) this is my opinion and I not out to flame or degrade. You asked for reviews........ I guess you only want positive ones!! Not everyone is going to like a particular product, take the good with the bad and practice a little professionalism as you come across some constructive criticism/observations. I never directed jabs you way, I am only posting here to share with the other members about a product and nothing I said is false nor ridiculous.(maybe my grammar and from but I covered that as well in the other post :p) So much for growing and improving a product via consumer input, Obviously.... you only want the positive reviews in here.:rolleyes:

For the record: I am not angry nor want my money back or have requested so. Not worth the hassle and small loss on my part.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dwyw42:
As a neutral third party, I agree you are the one with the poor attitude and come off as ridiculous. The pretty boy comment was waaaaaay out of line, as was the comment about trying to get a stir out of members using dirty election tactics. IMHO, you lost all credibility with these two posts. If you really want to provide him constructive criticism and aren't upset, leave out the emotional and inflammatory language. It's completely unnecessary.

My personal review

I want to start of by saying this is my opinion on the screen protector. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I normally don't write reviews, let alone negative ones, but personally I would not recommend this product. I am very disappointed with the screen protector. It has whats's known as the rainbow effect, even Scott says so himself. Although he claims that it does not effect visibility, but it sure does for me. There are lines or streaks running down the screen and they are very visible even with the screen on. While I'm outside, I can barely use my phone because the sun intensifies the effect and I can hardly see my screen. I thought it was just hazy or something that would go away after the required time, but it's been over 48 hours and it still hasn't got any better at all. I can't stand these lines/ stripes running down the phone. They are just horrendous. If by any means, there is a way to make it better, please let me know.

In addition, the protector scratches so easily. It scratched from normal use by just swiping the phone My fingernail must have scratched it.

Also, there are some air bubbles left, but this may be partly my fault. Though I keep trying to push them out, they wont't budge.

Before this protector, I had some cheap no name protector on my phone. I had a lot better experience with that one.

Essentially my verdict is that I am very disappointed in the quality of the screen protector. I would recommend you STAY AWAY from these screen protectors! At this price I would hope it to be A LOT better. Oh well, guess I'll just go back to using cheap no name protectors. Never had any problems with them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] treau:
I think the terms "don't knock till you try it" come into play. As far as full screen coverage, if you are using the otterbox it has such a huge lip the edge of your screen should never come in contact while being dropped. We are talking about 1/16 th of an inch on each side. (What the pic shows) if you are that worried about dropping your phone while working construction than get a cheap phone for work and keep your S3 for when you need to be a "pretty boy"

I work in a factory that we use oil as a lubricant and the amount if vaporized oil in THE air can damage any electric device, but if you take care of you stuff then you have nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scav1180:
That's my fault. I didn't align perfectly straight. Very slightly.

And reflection makes it look funny..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you were not satisfied with it I would have refunded your money. I bend over backwards to make my customers happy.

If you read even a little bit of this thread you will see that people love the protectors. Your problems as described such as the rainbow effect only can be seen with the screen off. I go outside all the time and I never see the rainbow on mine. Then again I've given it more than 48 hours. I don't even know if that is required because no one has complained.

People have talked about micro scratches. You cant feel them or see them unless the screen is off.

What offends me is this review you left on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1A5469R81SI8R/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B008YJEBUO&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

This affects my ability to make a living so I DO get upset. Had you just asked for a refund I would have given you one.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
almost seems like a troll, intentionally bad mouthing a product, instead of just asking for a refund.

I stand by the product that DBA cases sells, if someone wants to go back and buy a crappy ZAGG product, feel free, but to call names and try to make someone look bad just because a product they sell isnt to their liking, is ridiculous.

Its unfortunate that someone like this has such a negative impact on potential buyers, but trust me, in a group of 200 customers, one like this isnt damage in a big way.

Scott, your product is superior, your hard work and customer service is appreciated by a large group on XDA. Dont bother replying to someone like this, as clearly their mind is made up, you offered a solution, he felt like acting like 5 year old. Move on, and continue to be the stand up guy you are, just as your products are.

in alot of those pictures, it looks like the DBA covers a bit more than the Zagg. the sides dont come as close to the edge, but thats to allow for any size case without lifting or peeling. the top of the DBA you can see the Zagg under it not coming as far to edges.

The sad thing about your pictures is that you can clearly see the orange peel effect that ZAGG has, and its UNDER the uninstalled DBA. How someone can put a Zagg on their phone is beyond me. it is rough, sticky, squeaky, feels like an orange, and shows scratches and indents more than any other wet apply ive ever seen.

If you get a free ZAGG install under warranty, why dont you take the Zagg off, install the DBA and see how the dba feels before you write a review of it? It doesnt cost you anything if the Zagg is under warranty.

The feel of the DBA is incredible, better than any ive felt, and ive had a no name, a bestskinever, a zagg, and an SGP. Does it cover the whole screen? No. but it shouldnt either. most people put ther phones in cases anyways, so why make peeling and cases not fitting an issue, when all you have to do is take a mm or two off the width, and as long as it is installed properly, there wont be any issues.

now that is what a properly installed DBA JLG cover is supposed to look like. barely tell its even on there. on a Pebble Blue GS3 you wouldnt even see the shadow of the protector edges. Nice job.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks,

And I agree - that install is the best I've ever seen. He should go into the screen protector install business.

I've played with ZAGG's and they feel terrible and peel. I just got back from the mall and Ghost Armor had a huge Kiosk. They "wrap" the phones in plastic feeling stuff for a ton of money. I could easily put indentations in them with my finger.

They were selling carbon fiber for the back of the iPhone for $50.00.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jinosong:
Trust me, in any online business, you're bound to have some crazies. It's a science that at least 1 percent of your customers will be bitter and crazy and they'll let you know it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
I thought it was 10% or more :)

I've run many sites but have never sold product before so rather than take someone apart I'm trying to ignore them.

The lawyer in me wants to rip them apart.:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jinosong:
Hey Scott, I'm trying to put on my screen protector on right now. Have the shower turned on as I type. I notice that the front of the protector is scratched up pretty good. Scratch lines flowing vertically. Is there any way to send me a protector that is in pristine condition? I just took off my SGP protector for this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Never heard of that - can you take a picture?

If it's bad I'll certainly replace it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jinosong:
Just got back from installation. I think the scratches were from the back where you peal off of. I don't see any lines anymore. It wasn't the easiest installation but managed. IT FEELS GREAT and am satisfied.

The cloth provided needs to go though. I got a bunch of lint stuck under from that cloth when pushing out the bubbles.

All in all, highly recommended. The owner is here respond 24/7 to all our needs. What can beat that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks.

But I'm confused - when it's on you can't get lint or anything else under it. I've used the cloth a ton of times and it never leaves a mark - it's the same type of cloth they give you when you buy a pair of glasses.

When you peel the two pieces off there may very well be lines on the piece that doesn't go on the phone.

Your picture looks great - all I see is haze which will go away in 36 hours. A very good installation. If you don't spray enough sometimes it can be hard.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jinosong:
I think it was because some of the water leaked out with the bubbles and went back in. No worries, I think I'll enjoy this protector for a long time. I have to admit though, during the installation it feels like you've messed up. You've got to trust your instincts and just get through it. The phone is looking better by the minute now.

Congrats on making such a good product.:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
That's why we put up the video last week. It's easier seeing someone do it. When I did my first few my hands shook and I didn't spray enough. Now it's easy - spray, lay it down and get the gunk out.

It should last you the life of the phone. These don't wear out.

If you don't mind I could use a good review on here and Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Just-Like-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B008YJEBUO/ref=cm_rdp_product

Thanks for the great pictures - people have been asking for pictures of it installed to see how it looked.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] riahim:
Alright. I just wanted to apologize. I'll take down the negative review I put on amazon. It's just that I see the lines even with the screen on. I don't know whether I just got a defective unit or what, but it kind of bugs me. I do understand where your coming from, and since I do appreciate your customer service and devotion to the people here on xda, I will remove my post on Amazon. I'm Terribly sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jinosong:
Good man! :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thank you very much. I honestly didn't expect an apology at this point so it's appreciated.

I'm no different than you - I hate it when a product bugs me. I have the Kindle Paperwhite and guess what - it ain't white! Drives me crazy but it's better than the old one so I keep it.

Do you work in an area with fluorescent lighting? That's the only time I've seen the rainbow with the screen on. I never see it outside at all. I have it on my Galaxy Nexus now and even with it off it's not that noticeable but I've had it on for months.

I'll give you a choice of a refund or a replacement. I don't like it when any customer isn't happy. If it's only been a short time you may want to give it 5-7 days.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] riahim:
I do not work in an area with fluorescent lighting. That's what makes it strange to see the lines with the screen on. I'm not sure what's happening. And I appreciate your customer support. I'll give it a week or so and I'll let you know what I decide. Thank you Scott, and once again, I want to apologize.

By the way, I'm really satisfied with the complete ultra cases. They are just amazing. Keep up the great work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Carbon Fiber for the back of the iPhone 5... what do you think?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scav1180:
Thanks for the comments on the installation... I tried my best to do a clean install on the first try. So far so good.

I did manage to get a small micro scratches trying to get out 1 very small bubble. Bubble is gone, but did leave behind a weird streak or scratch. I'll try to get a photo of it, but that's minor on my part.

Overall I love the protector. I don't worry about the screen now when it's in my pocket.

I do still see the vertical haze but i expect that to go away in a few days.

Ill leave a feedback on links provided.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
This is awesome. So glad to see everyone getting along, so not like the rest of the Internet. Lol.

I can't wait to get my nexus 7 protector either.

Products are fantastic. I enjoy coming into the thread just to see happy customers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] barmanham:
Tbh I'll probably leave a negative or positive comment on amazon depending lol I wanna get a new one but not for 20 dollars seeing that seems the only way to get anything done.I'm willing to spend cost for it not another 20 that's wit shipping so ya....

Scott, what kind of shipping does the free domestic shipping entail? I'm asking for a friend who is planning on getting a case and SP, and wants to know how long it'll take to get here. I'm asking in this thread so that others can see the info. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] riahim:
Mine was sent via usps first class. It took like 2 days to arrive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Everything ships first class the day after the order except on weekends. Mostppeople get it in twoto tthree days since we ship them from Indianapolis which is very central.

I'll try it, regardless.

Hey Scott, did you ever think about doing bigger tablet screen protectors? Like the Asus Transformer?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
You mean the Asus Eeepad Transformer 10.1?

So the fact that everyone here ignored you hurt your feelings and you felt it necessary to post a 1 star review on Amazon?

http://www.amazon.com/review/R28GUQGVV2AZIV/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B008YJEBUO&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

Petty.

I urge everyone to go to the Amazon review here :

http://www.amazon.com/review/R28GUQGVV2AZIV/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B008YJEBUO&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

And press report abuse. If enough do it the review will be removed.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] cz.marcin:
Hmm I actually found his review very constructive, he has the point and proves it with pictures. I cant understand why everybody suddenly attacks him cause he has his own opinion. I for example bought recently xtreme guard screen protector and its far better than zagg, covers all glass and doesnt peel (verylittle of that nasty orange peal effect). I understand that DBA's screen protector is stiff and just cant go around the curves, thanks to his post i can actually see it and it allows me to make the decision to buy it or not. That's the whole point of the internet for me at least that i can compare and see different views. But obviously i might be wrong.

ps sorry for my poor english, it aint my first language :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
Scott, yes the EEEpad 10.1 Transformer. Show it some love!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cy4n1d3:
I agree with this. His point is understandable although 1 star might be a bit harsh.

Reporting him for abuse would be an abuse on your side in my opinion...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] treau:
His pictures also show the screen protector not installed. it is just sitting on top of the case, that picture is very deceiving. How can you review a product that you have not attempted to use?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nullredvector:
hey scott, I ended up getting one of those 8 small cuts and want to trade. how do we do so? thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasvncnt1:
Agreed. :confused::confused: Maybe I missed something...why are people being..."beat up" over a review that is just based on their opinion? I can understand the work that went into creating this screen protector but that aside everyone will have their own opinion. And just because it isnt positive doesnt make it wrong. The one review/opinion said screen protector doesnt cover entire screen..and I can see in the pics that this is true. And now based on the pics I can see it may not be what im looking for. Trying to have someones review reported or removed because its not a great review or you dont agree with it is just wrong. And I cant believe some people would get offended with "pretty boy" lol. Your on a forum..on the internet...chill

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

How is it deceiving? He did say it was not installed. His pictures show the protector not covering the whole screen. Which is what he stated. Do you think if he actually installed it, it would somehow magically stretch and cover the whole screen? I understand what your saying. But I have purchased a few screen protectors and before I even install them I lay them on top to see how they fit. No offense but for me and what I want I wouldnt have installed it just based on the coverage area. And for that reason I should not give a review if I wanted?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] treau:
It's all about angles of how the picture was taken. If you angle the camera a certain way it will cause it to look different then what it really is. I'm not saying the person took the pic on an angle on purpose, I am saying don't use that picture as your only point of reference. We all know that the "full cut" only means it is larger than the one offered before. And in the description by Scott on here states it does not cover it all.

I think that dba has an awesome customer service and they bend over backwards for their customers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasvncnt1:
I get what sure saying. Maybe its my eyes but the photos look like they are taken from straight above. Um not seeing an angle. And if Scott has already said it doesn't cover the whole screen and his pictures show that...then what's the issue?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
My issue with this is he is acting like he was told one thing and got something else. If you'd just read this thread or the amazon reviews you'd know what the coverage is for this. If it was advertised as Edge to Edge protection ok, I'd understand, but if you are to ignorant to research ahead of time then I think you give up the right to complain. IMO this is better than zagg, and yes, I've had both and no, I don't work for anybody.
