I just gently shook it dry, then sprayed the soapy water on it, and put it on my screen.

I positioned it on the screen then used a microfiber cloth to pat it dry. Once it was adhered enough to stay in one place, I used a credit card inside the microfiber towel to get out the bubbles.

A few things to note, I had my device on top of a big towel so that the water would soak into it after pushing out bubbles. The device did get rather wet, so just be careful about open ports.

My Nexus 7 isn't a perfect look... But it is probably as good as can be done with a wet application and the 7" screen.

Installed the protector 2 days ago. I am not happy with a couple of things: numerous bubbles that don't go, the shape and the dust particles.

I am not an amateur when comes to installing protectors. I did it in a steamed up bathroom. Checked that the dust deposition rate is zero. Then sprayed the protector not turning the sticky side up. I still got at least one particle underneath. Then puled off and tried another protector (I bought two). The second one cought 4 particles. I am sure the particles did not get all from the air but rather from the spray solution.

I still like the surface. Scott would you care to replace my 2 protectors with the better cut? I am in UK.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
There is nothing in the solution that would lead to particles. They are professionally filled and even should there be a particle in there it's a spray and it could not get through the microscopic holes in spray portion.

Please email me at scott@dbacases.com and I'll see if we can work something out.

Scott, any chance there is a holster/belt clip in the works that is compatible with your cases? I have yet to find a holster that offers 360 degree corner protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Right now I have my hands full finishing the iPhone 5 and starting the Note II.

We just don't have the funds for a holster. I'd love a stand built in also but the costs are just too great.

You should be able to look online for Holsters - our cases are so thin they should fit in most of them.

Disappointed with the screen protector

Hi,

I guess I am one of the few that is really unhappy with my purchase. While I like the feel of the protector, the edges are unacceptable. I used up the entire bottle of solution (which wasn't much) to try and get the edges to 'stick' but they keep lifting (about 1/8" all around the screen. It has allowed dust and particles to stick to the screen protector and will only get worse over time (I've only had the screen protect on for a day).

I would like a refund or maybe try the larger cut version (if I didn't have it already).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nbutala:
Hi Scott,

I ordered an ultra case, and it is a great case. Thank you. I wanted to get a JLG protector, but I understand there are 2 cuts, one older and just around the viewing window with non tapered edges and a newer, larger one with tapered edges. I wanted the newer one but wanted to check that amazon out of the older version? Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks,

I love the Ultra also - I'm making one for the Note II next so I can actually use one of my own cases for the first time.

Amazon ran out of the old cuts a long time ago so there is no danger at all. In fact I've restocked both amazon and my site several time.

Don't forget, the Ultra self destructs if it's not reviewed on Amazon :good:

So I installed this protector yesterday, and I like the look and feel of it a lot. Just a few things that are annoying me though.

1. The edges don't seem to be properly adhering, it seems to be raised. I keep pressing down on the ends as directed, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

2. There is a wavy rainbow look to it when I look at the device from the sides. Is this just inherent with a wet protector?

Besides those issues, I do like the screen, I just wish it would stick better on the edges.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Please send a picture to scott@dbacases.com to make sure you got a good cut.

The rainbow is normal you won't see it with the screen on.

The sides do need to be pressed down. This is normal for a wet protector that goes that far.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
scott i was just wondering if the sides to be cut down a TINY bit to avoid this lifting issue. could it be because the curvature of the screen starts earlier than you think, hence the protector isn't adhering?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
That's an excellent suggestion.

I've sent it to the manufacturer to see if they can do it.

How much dust did you get?

I just put another on my Note II and have one speck. It's small so it really doesn't bother me.

Best thing is to clean phone - get protector out and spray it to death and put it on fast.

Then use the cloth to get most of the moisture out. I did it today and got every air bubble and most of it with just the cloth. Then I put a credit card in the cloth and finished it up.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
Can't overemphasize how important is to really soak the protector. If you have to pick it up even once you're not doing yourself a favor. Don't forget that you can reposition once it's down if you applied enough moisture.

This decreases odds that you'll catch dust, but I'll be the first to admit a perfect installation of any screen protector is quite an accomplishment. But it's not impossible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Yes,

You can't spray too much on it.

You will be able to slide to re-position it.

Then you have to "very carefully" dab the moisture away without sliding it out of position. Then when it's stuck just continue to get the moisture out with the cloth until nothing is changing then use the credit card in the cloth.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LordRalh3:
Well i got a spg oleo, it was too small imagine that. Ordered and recieved a jlg and im not sure what happened... size is currently absolutely perfect imho, it was the dust that got me and i dont know how it got there, for me the shower thing didn't work (i gave it 10 minutes on full hot couldnt even see in the bathroom then sprayed the water bottle of mist right before the install and washed my hands O.R. style)

The install i did just like the videos that were posted with the bowl of water and all, went on quick with no issues thanks to how "firm" the protector was.

Anyways fast forward 36 hours of drying and trying to push out the bubbles and had 5 dust spots that just wouldn't work for me... jlg is off and money down the drain, dont know how to do it any different on my end, ill give you credit for the feel but wish i would have dry installed it instead cause im pretty dang sure that dust wasnt in the air after what i did in a closed bathroom but in the "professionally filled" bottles,

So now i have a plain verizon screen protector out of a 3pack that went on in the same process without a speck anywhere

i will leave a good review on amazon because the quality of it was great

If you still have the protector, wash it with soap and water. Then refill the bottle with soapy water, and reapply.

XDA is the best place for application suggestions.

One of the ones I don't necessarily agree with is the steamy bathroom.

IMHO all you get is bigger water droplets floating through the air with dust in them.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] JonLido:
Yeah, these seem to be less forgiving when being applied than the rubbery wet-application types. I got a tiny speck piece of lint stuck under mine when I first applied it. So I peeled it back and used the tried-and-true scotch tape method to remove it. That just left a big blob, with what I thought must have been dust underneath. So I tried again- more blobs! I tried again- even worse! I think you have one shot to get this thing applied and that's it.

I used it for a while with the blobs. The clarity (away from the blobs) was fantastic, and the smooth texture was really nice. It did seem to smear up with oils more than I was used to, but it never effected the clarity much. Eventually I got tired of looking at the blobs and switched to a BSE protector I had lying around. I'm considering buying another Just Like Glass in the hopes that I can learn from my first experience, but I'm wary.

By the way, Scott, the headphone cut out on your Ultra cases is too small. Three out of the four cables/headphones I've tried to plug in won't fit in far enough to make a stereo connection. There's no just reason for it to be so small. They all fit fine with my Seidio case. Can you enlarge the opening another millimeter or so?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tomaslxix:
I ordered one for my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy S3. I put them on about 5 days ago and so far I have mixed feelings.

The S3 is great. It does indeed feel just like glass. I put it on before the Nexus 7 and it looks fantastic aside from the edges not staying down. I've been pushing it down all week with my finger nail or with a credit card/cloth but I've realized that's definitely not doing anything so I'm going to try spraying, little more spray around the sides and smoothing them down while heating with a blow dryer on low. If only I had more hands....

The Nexus 7 however is a bit puzzling. I applied it under the same conditions as the S3, same room, same post-steamy shower trick, same everything, but it is still very hazy and weird looking. I don't know how it could have happened but it doesn't look great. I hoped it would go away with time as it did with my S3 but so far no luck. Probably going to have to take it off, it feels nice but doesn't look good.

Anyone else had this problem?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zavex:
I second this. I have a set of speakers that we often plug in to play music, but the plug is too big for the cutout, and prevents the speakers from working.

Love the case in general though!

I've only had a few people mention the speaker hole in the months since we've been selling them.

There is no way to change the mold - it's made out of steel.

Tablets are easier than phones for installation since they are flat.

Can you try to get the haze out with the soft part of your thumb - it could be leftover water.

As far as the S3 goes it may not look sealed on the edges but it is - you'd have a hard time peeling it off.

If you still have problems email me at scott@dbacases.com
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ahacker:
Identical story. I've got 5 particles in a very well steamed up room. Furthermore I was looking at the glass for a while to see that no particles land (being a physicist dealing with vacuum and clean surfaces I have a clue what I am talking about). I tend to believe that the particles likely came from the bottle.

I now think that after steaming up a room one need to leave it for a while for water micro droplets to settle. In my case I might have got bubbles because of too much water in the air. The bubble however go with time. I now have 2.5 left.

Anyway Scott agreed to replace the protectors.

One tip for everyone: before separating the protector from the film unpeel the outer part of the protector film (the part that gets thrown away) on the table.

"Smartphone is no longer a phone"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
I've never suggested the bathroom thing - it was a few other people. I've always done them right here on my dusty desk.

What I do is punch out any ports where we have them cut out. Then open the spray bottle and spray the living hell out of the protector's sticky side. Make sure it's a mist - if it's not you're too close.

Then very quickly put it on the device. That reduces the time for a dust particle to get there and gives you plenty of liquid on the protector to move it around until it's in the perfect place.

In fact lately I've found that by spraying it that much I can just use the cloth alone to get out all of the moisture and bubbles. Then I put it in a credit card to push out the stubborn moisture.

Keep in mind that when it's that wet even after you get it in the perfect position you need to use the cloth to dab away the excess moisture or you will just move it out of place again.

In the future we are going to pre-punch everything and have no border to take off - we will also have a sticker on it to help peeling it off.

Possibly old lot received from Amazon?

Hi Scott,

I ordered a screen protector for note II from Amazon after seeing your video review for a full coverage protector on your website. It arrived today, but it was not the same one; this one is cut with significant gap. The screen protector only goes around 3 sides of the center button, and it only goes around 3/4 or 1/2 of the camera circumference. Any idea please let me know. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] PMrjn83:
Correct cut, my apology!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dillweed:
Hey Scott. Yea, so I don't post much, but I wanted to let you know that I've been using the screen protector and it's just plain awesome. (as you are probably aware :) ) At any rate, the installation was super easy. I did notice that the cloth left a couple of black fibers, so maybe something to look into. I was wondering if they came from the serrated cut on the sides. I was lucky to see them before I applied the protector. That being said, I got the same thing from a skinomi cloth once, so it happens to all companies (for those that want to knock down the DBA protectors).

Well, I'm glad that I took the chance on the screen protector because it just rocks. BTW, I'm not a paid spokesman, I just wanted to comment on the product and I hope that it is okay to say so here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks for posting! It's great when lurkers come out and post :good:

I've heard that from some people but I use the same black cloth and it has never happened to me. We do cut the cloth's at our factory so it's possible for what you describe to happen. I don't know if they have to be cut that way or if it can be done non serrated. I just emailed the factory. So if you see them coming non serrated you're the reason. It's probably they are cut that way from a serrated machine though.

Thanks for the nice words.

By the way I was experimenting on what I could do to it tonight on another thread - writing on it with a ballpoint pen wont scratch it and you can wipe it off with your finger.

And using a highlighter is fine because the protector won't absorb anything. I used a blue one. Used my thumb to wipe it off.

It's not the speaker cut out, it's the opening around the headphone/audio jack that is too small. You can verify this yourself by plugging any old Radioshack cable in that wasn't specifically designed for mobile devices and checking to see if you get stereo audio. Certainly the DBA case isn't the only one out there with this problem. It's why cables designed for mobile devices are made with specially skinny plugs-- but the shouldn't have to be.

Anyway, thanks for you responsiveness Scott. Maybe you can address the headphone jack hole size in future case designs.

0.02

Just gonna drop my 0.02

First the good. The screen protector definitely felt just like glass. I also ordered the in grip case (I know this thread is for screen protector but both products are being mentioned) the thin grip case is also the thinnest I have ever had on a phone.

now the bad...

The screen protector edges would not stay down during application, no matter how long I held down the edges while drying, they just would not stay, since then they have accumulated a good amount of dust under the tiny lip it created. The protector is down firmly so it hasn't lifted at all which has surprised me. The case, one I snapped the phone in, the case also snapped. Seems like there is no give at all in it, or possibly just a hair to big of a lip around the edge of the phone to hold the case on.

With both the products on my phone, last night the inevitable happened, it dropped. just off the table, so less than 3ft. The screen is now shattered. The case plus screen protector (which has been said to increase break resistance) couldnt stand up to a 3ft drop. It is most likely the way it landed, maybe it hit that "sweet spot" but I have had other cheaper ebay cases protect other phones from a much further fall.

so now its either a $30 fix if I can manage to just replace the screen, or $130 for insurance replacement. Plus a new case and screen protector.

Im not trying to bash DBA or anything just putting out my input.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
There is no question you've had bad luck. For many people a three foot drop with a naked phone many not even scratch it. It's really the angle of the drop that counts.

Had it hit the glass directly on that would likely have protected it far more than a corner hit. The protector does increase the break resistance but only if you hit it directly. I've taken my GN and hit it hard against display cases and not left a mark. (don't try this at home).

From your pictures the edges of your protector were not sealed. Could have been from the cut or the installation - there is no way to know. However I would have replaced it with a picture like that.

5% of the Thin Grips are defective. You usually find out when you put it on or shortly thereafter. There was no way for us to tell which ones so I've been replacing the ones that break for free. I've been having the factory make hundreds since then to make sure no order ever comes like that again and I think we've resolved the problem.

Our Thin Grip does give more protection than other thin cases but no thin case it really meant for protection from drops. That's why we sell the ULTRA which would have saved the phone easily. Since yours cracked right away it effectively only offered protection from scratching from that point on. Others who own the Thin Grip or the PC part of the Ultra can tell you the case us amazingly bendable.

I do have to apologize that you got two defective products. It's not the way I intend this company to work and I do my best to replace them as fast as possible.

Email me at scott@dbacases.com and I'll take care of any future protector and case needs.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Corey@rabbit:
Thanks for the reply Scott. And your right, that crack in the case could very well be the reason it cracked. Since there was no actual structural support on the edges.

I do love the case though. I have to agree with the headphone thing. Lucky mine fit, but I see where the hole might be too small.

Anyhow, it will be a while till I can afford a replacement phone. Maybe then I'll email you about replacement products, that ok?
