[Galaxy S III Accessories] dwyw42:
I applied my full cut protector on Sunday night, so here's my review after a week worth of use. For background information, I had a Zagg on an old WinMo phone a few years ago, and hated the soft orange peel texture. My last phone was an Galaxy S I (Epic 4G) which I didn't use any screen protector on. I liked that it was much smoother without any protector, but I was always nervous about getting scratches despite the Gorilla Glass, and sure enough I got a minor barely-visible scratch a few months before my contract was up, so I told myself I'd try to find a decent screen protector for my next phone.

When I got the SGS3 at Verizon, I accepted the $10/3pack or whatever anti-glare dry apply screen protectors they had in store when the clerk offered. I found these very interesting because they had a slight texture to them almost like paper, and it seemed to be a lot less friction than even the bare glass of my Epic. However, it had a huge downside in that it magnified some of the subpixels of the display, causing this weird RGB rainbow sparkle on any semi-bright screen.

Which brings us to the Just Like Glass. The JLG obviously has a feel closer to the bare glass than either of the other two protectors I've had, but it does seem slightly smoother than the bare glass. My finger doesn't seem to require as much force if my finger gets oily while sliding across the screen as it sometimes did with just the bare glass, which was one of my concerns after using the paper-like one (which didn't have that problem at all).

As far as the cut, it's the same width as the original one I had, and almost the same height-wise, probably covers a little more than the original one. I should've taken some before pictures of the original protector before I took it off, but I was too focused on getting this one on and forgot! :eek:

During installation, I did notice that the cloth got stuck on the sharp corners once or twice like someone else mentioned, but I changed my technique a little bit to be very careful to move the cloth from the center outwards until completely off the phone before taking the next stroke and I didn't have any further problems.

As for swiping my finger from the edges, I don't notice the edge at all, even though it's pretty close to the edge of the screen. Definitely don't notice the top when pulling down the notification bar.

Here's the overall look of it:

One problem I've noticed is that the bottom corners around the home button don't stay down. I know the instructions say to keep pressing for 5-7 days and I've been doing that, but it doesn't seem to be getting better - they lift back up about 10 minutes later. Here's a close-up:

Also visible in that close-up, the side edges look like they're not sealed down either. However, when I press them down, it doesn't seem to make a difference even temporarily. You can't see it in the picture but if I look closely, it almost looks like there's extra adhesive built up on the edges. Maybe I used too much solution and it caused some of the adhesive to get pushed to the edges? I dunno.

The top edges seem to be lifting a little too, but they seem to be getting better the more I keep pressing them down every day. They already look better from when I took this close-up:

All the haze has gone away, except two small dots at the bottom of the screen that are lingering. Maybe there's a small piece of dust under there, but I can't see it with my eyes. Close-up:

I'm hoping they go away eventually, but if they don't the good news is, I can't see the dots with the screen on:

One last observation: I work in an office with fluorescent lights, so I get a little bit of a rainbow effect when the screen is off or when I have an app with a dark screen open (like the settings screens or XDA App with dark theme), but it's usually only when I'm looking at the phone at a low angle. Kinda annoying, but not a deal-breaker, and definitely not as bad as the persistent RGB rainbow sparkle of my last protector. I tried to get a picture of it, but interestingly enough it doesn't happen with the fluorescent lights in my garage and I kept forgetting to take my camera with me to the office.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Just Like Glass, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone :good::good:

P.S. As a side note, Scott, I also got a Thin Grip this weekend. I put it on and had never taken it off, then accidentally dropped my phone from waist height onto my wood floors (got a major case of butterfingers one day! :silly: ), and the back cracked. Maybe I need an Ultra after all! :o
