It's been a couple of weeks...I was able to take it off easily without a hair dryer. But in the process of taking it off, I shattered the screen protector. I can confirm that it's 'safe shatter'. It doesn't break off into many pieces. Well there's $30 pissed away, I wish I didn't see this thread and take my screen protector off out of paranoia...I'll definitely buy another Glasszone though. I recommend it to everyone :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Personally I use my shirt most of the time.

I've used water and a cloth when testing it. I've used a highlighter, a pen, and a sharpie on it. The sharpie was hard to get off but I got it completely off (since the sharpie is designed to write on surfaces like this).

It's a non-porous film meaning nothing should absorb in. In fact you can spray paint the protector and wipe it off.

The JLG has a "rainbow effect" which should only be seen with the device off.

Not tiny red dots - more like you spilled bubble blowing liquid on it.

It doesn't interfere at all when viewing the screen. It's a UV coating to stop it from peeling and yellowing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I only have an experience with Spigen oleophobic, not matte. Matte is typically anti-glare, while oleophobic is anti-fingerprint. This screen protector is crystal clear, no glare or fingerprints, a bit of a dust magnet but easily wiped. Spigen oleophobic was a little sticky when I tried it and left oily-trails while using s-pen (been told it gets smoother after a few uses, but I didn't it on for more than a day for a long term testing). Btw, this one also felt a little sticky as soon as I removed protective film, but after a few uses and cleaning cloth wipes its back to ultra smooth.

The only problem it's under promotional testing now, rather than for sale yet. But perhaps will be available soon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] royalh:
I can confirm that the Rainbow effect that you can see with the screen off, under certain lighting conditions, is absolutely not there when the screen is powered on.

Which are you talking about?

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Would you want the Rainbow Effect with Impact resistance over no Rainbow and no Impact resistance?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] royalh:
I like it just the way it is. .. Just saying to people that there's no reason to worry about the Rainbow. .. ;)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
It's not a theoretical question.

I'm working on some other options

1) Same feel no rainbow but no Impact protection. (Wet Apply)

2) Dry Apply same feel no protection.

3) Dry Apply close to the feel with some protection.

Also coming soon :

1) The best large micro fiber cloth in the business

2) Large Squirt Bottles (Already being included in the latest batches)

3) Packaging.

4) If it's a dry apply then a good squeegee.

On the packaging if you want to help what would you put (content) on the front and the back of the package? If anyone has artistic skills how would you make the content look. We already have the design.

Scott, if you look at the picture friend'scatdied posted in his iSmooth review, it's the clear screen in the middle. I'm not really sure about it's details except that its crystal-clear anti-fingerprint and feels in thickness very similar to Spigen screen protector I had on before. I just know that out of all dry instlal screen protectors I tried so far, this one works for me the best. Can't compare it to wet install or glass screen protectors since I'm not ready to cross that bridge yet :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gasolin:
I se it most on a white bagground, this so called "rainbow" effect

I have seen iSmooth screen protection (and a cheep one i got with a tpu cover for my sgs 2,ithat was easy to put on)

that surpose to be very easy to put on the screen(like that).

But the way your are gonna do it when using screen protection like zagg,copter,jlg seems to me a bit difficult, especially if you manage to s.... it up the first time.......... beacause i think that the sticky part of the screen protection very easy gets dirty,get finger prints

you almost never can get rid of, i'd like it to be easy to put on you screen protection the first time.

How about nano technology to make a screen lees resistant to dirt,fingerprint hair.......?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borijess:
I was one that thought I would not like the rainbow effect. But after owning it after a while its really a non issue. The clarity outweighs the rainbow for me.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] royalh:
I think that with the large screen area that we have, added screen protection from breaking is a must have. I myself would not select a different option if it didn't include as high a level of protection as the current jlg version has.

As for the micro fiber cloth, if the cost of a larger cloth is higher, I wouldn't bother including a larger one. The ones included in almost all kits are almost always considered throw aways so there's not much value added for the additional cost.

I don't understand why there is an iSmooth container there.

Is this an iSmooth protector or something else? If it's something else can you post a link?

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

My nano-tech lab got taken over by rogue nanites.

They repel oils, ink, makeup, grime, and strong chemicals. You can spraypaint the protector and then wipe it off. It's non porous meaning nothing will stick due to the hard coating.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
It came with a bonus set of original iSmooth protectors as part of a promo for their upcoming new product line, I believe part of a survey. Sorry, you probably will have to contact iSmooth to find out more details about it. I was just pleasantly surprised with this bonus.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gasolin:
Now i just need to find out if the price is really 25 dollars, i live in europe. (just like glas)

iSmooth thats also only available in usa costs about 22 dollars and seems to be very easy to put on a phone.

Think i need a screen protection that gives my note 2 screen more justice, so my screen looks as good as it really is without screen protection
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I just got my mail and I got three replacements from them.

Same as the one in the middle so this must be their new protector.

It does adhere much more than the ones I got before. But at the cost of making it feel like plastic.

I just tested it with the spen and while it provides good writing when I turned off the screen there were a ton of scratches.

I actually think the other film they used before was better. (other than the fact it didn't stick).

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Actually I like to learn from my competition.

I have a bunch of micro-fiber cloths here - all different colors and most of them are throw away.

The iSmooth cloth is very good and that's currently my go to cloth because it high quality and big. The fact they have their name and URL on something people will keep is great marketing.

I have a new pile of samples I got this weekend and I'm going to include one that is bigger, and smoother. Hopefully without any of the jagged edges also. I have to find out the prices.

I've never had part of our black cloth get under the protector but every so often I hear feedback that people have issues with it.

Just like with any product if everything that comes with it is high quality that sticks in your head. We've got the larger squirt bottle, and developing packaging so hopefully I'll have most of this done soon.

I'm still developing Just Like Glass Dry so iSmooth got my interest - however while it's better than the other cheap ones available it does feel like plastic. If I was given a choice I would buy it over ZAGG, or many of the other expensive ones that feel the same way.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Are you talking about the one with a clear protecting film rather than a green one with iSmooth logo? The one with a green protecting film was thinner and I moved on to the new one that felt thicker on par with Spigen. Gives me more confidence in extreme situation, and it is crystal clear and feels very smooth. I wonder if we are talking about the same one, or you got a different sample or something?

Btw, glad you are looking into dry apply screen protectors as well. I'm sure by the time you get around choosing one - it will be tested to perfection!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Yes,

The green one was thinner and did feel smooth but it wouldn't stick. As I suspected they completely changed protector types. They don't make any of these - they are standard variations of films offered in China. I would have rather had them make the thinner one adhere better but since these are made in rolls the Chinese won't change them.

I left feedback after the ones I got and they sent me these three plus a cloth. They have very good customer service.

Here is a picture - you can tell by the shape of the bottom where it goes around the button. The anti fingerprint coating goes away after about 15 minutes of use.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] angelis:
I'm looking for a screen protector and preferably one of the thicker, washable, reusable types. Any out there?

Otherwise, what is the best one I can get that isn't sticky to the touch?

I want one for the back, but I'm thinking a cheap one will do.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
Are you saying that the rainbow coating is the one that protects our phone from impact and not the actual screen protector? Didn't you say the coating is actually to prevent the protector from yellowing? Hmm..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] n-j-f:
Where do you get them from? I can't find them, even on ebay. :confused:

Aah! Found it now here. They don't use the name Glasszone in the title for some inexplicable reason.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
I'm waiting to see if the one from itskin is good. Would rather get one that is totally transparent. I dun want to cover the love titanium grey on my screen. Haha
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Yes, customer support (Paul) is great. Both of you guys work hard building and supporting your brand! Big props!!!

I also confirm that after a day of use fingerprint coating on this demo unit went away. It is very easy to wipe, but I do see finger prints. But, there are absolutely no scratches or permanent marks while using s-pen. I tried it for a few days with some heavy use of spen, and any marks are easy to wipe off. For some reason, maybe its in my mind, but I prefer thicker film. Thin ones I had before always get minor scratches. This one feels 3H solid. I will post a few screen shots later with an extreme zoom to the edge of the film on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] friend'scatdied:
My iSmooth (2nd revision) feels incredibly smooth after about a week of use; it feels like my Nexus 4 screen which was the smoothest bare screen I've ever used. There doesn't seem to be degradation of the oleophobic property but I bet it varies with use -- even ones built into the glass (e.g. iPhone) go away over time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
By 2nd revision do you mean the one with a clear protecting film, not the green protecting film with "iSmooth" logo on it? I feel we keep referring to different screen revisions lol!!! I referenced the new iSmooth which is thicker than original one with green protecting film. The anti-fingerprint coating lasted a day or so, and now it's hardly noticeable.

Btw, attached are close ups of the edge of that new film. Just keep in mind the proportion of the film thickness to other elements on the phone cause the picture makes it looks super thick :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
The rainbow coating is to protect from UV rays that cause yellowing and peeling.

If I got a dry protector it would be made differently so it might not have the rainbow effect.

Also if I got a similar protector without the rainbow it might lack the impact resistance since it would be a different film.

All of these films are made in HUGE rolls and are cut from them. So it's not very cost efficient to dispose of a roll and try something new.

That's why I suggested iSmooth changed the entire film. Which turned out to be true.

If I carry a dry film or a no rainbow wet film they will be cut from entirely different rolls of material.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bjballar41:
im looking for a screen protector not sure which one to go with. im leaning towards JLG but not 100% on a liquid to apply. i hear good things about tempered as far as protection but the only one i know of is itskinz i believe and no one has done review on it yet or i cant find it. just looking some input.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
Itskin is still on pre order. So you must need to wait for awhile longer. I'm also waiting for itskin's review before making a decision. Jlg is not bad, but I would advise you to hold your horse and wait for Scott to actually finalise his "in the pipeline" improvements. Right not, his screen protector user comments are fairly inconsistent. Mostly reporting the same spotty/dusty problem.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
The complaints about JLG when it comes to spotty/dusty are pure user error.

Spots only occur when you don't get all of the moisture out and we don't include dust.

Yes the tracking is only in the USA.

To get international tracking would increase the postage significantly and 98% get there without a problem.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
I have to disagree, maybe the first install was user error. The second two I ordered went in the trash as well. First there was a definite issue with glue around the home button, it didn't seem to have any glue at the bottom all around the edge of the protector. Second had a bubble in the film, not dust particle, under bright light with magnifying glass I saw no dust. I couldn't get a photo of the bubble clear enough to see there was no dust or water. I ripped it off and tossed it in the trash. Out of 4 protectors I purchased, 3 went in the trash. The one in use does have a dust particle under it but it's not my device and doesn't bother my mom. I am really bummed because the feel and quality is unmatched. I gave up trying to install jlg and immediately installed an sgp on mine and no dust on first try, took less than 3 minutes to install.

BTW, I am not mad, just a little disappointed that I spent so much on protectors and 3 went in the trash. I think Scott is a good guy and provides excellent service.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I thought I sent you replacements?

I can send you a few more if you want to try again.

We sell quite a few of these and most people have no issues.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
I purchased the replacements, like I said Scott, I give up with the wet install but I appreciate the offer. I still think that jlg is an amazing product, my mom's very happy with her sp. I am eagerly waiting for you to carry a dry protector. I can install dry protectors with ease. I am also looking forward to your cases for the Note2. I really appreciate the outstanding customer service!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I got the Note II case to test today and it's not good enough - too tight and it's not screen protector friendly. Unfortunately China shuts down in 9 days so it's going to be hard to get it out soon.

I also got a Just Like Glass Dry potential protector. I don't know if it's up to standards but I just put it on. Simple to apply and it is very smooth - the picture is fantastic. It does feel better than the others I've tried but I'm just not sure.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yankees45us:
I recommend putting the screen protectors on in a bathroom that's fogged up. It will take most dust out of the air. Unless you have a really clean room you'll have dust. In a foggy bathroom you can use the little dust sticker that comes with some screen protectors to take the dust that manages to get on.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
Ya I just ordered a third jlg. You can bet ill be doing that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I always install my screen protectors on a kitchen island, everything off the surface, wiped clean with a wet paper towel. Also, always take my shirt/t-shirt off because once you leaning over to align the screen protector - it will pull dust specks off your shirt. Furthermore, when I use included cleaning cloth, in addition to cleaning the phone I also wipe a surface of protective film on top of screen protector. If there are any specks of dust on top of that protective film, it will end up on your phones screen. Scotch tape is another necessity. Make a couple of scotch tape loops with sticky side on outside where you can slide you finger and use this loop to lift the screen protector off the display for fixing the alignment or to remove dust specks from underneath (using scotch tape as well).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Good idea.

I don't recommend the bathroom/shower.

All that does is make bigger water droplets and cause them to adhere to your screen.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

I've found two strong possibilities for JLG Dry.

I have one on the way and I'll have a decision by the end of the week.

The two I've tested today when put on don't even look like there is a protector on the glass.

Between these two and the one I'm testing later this week I'll start the process of packaging them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ViciousMo:
What advantage of the dry do you see over the wet other than the application process? I just ordered a wet one, damn.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] artofwar:
Being a Matte finish, I am assuming that it would not be crystal clear though? Is it a dry or wet application? Would you be able to take a picture of the installed product on the phone to see the screen coverage. THanks

Here is an unbiased opinion of our screen protectors - just came out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se3yCyhpz1c&feature=youtu.be
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rawdikrik:
For a person like me that doesnt use a case, protector that gets close the edge works best, and makes me worry less about chipping on it.

I like the idea of your protectors, but I have yet to see it completely cover the viewing area on a note 2, let alone the whole front glass. I would like something that goes as far as a protector can go, even if thats right to curve drop off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I understand. We go as close to the edge as possible considering the curved.

I understand your concerned about the glass being broken in those areas.

However by choosing a plain protector you miss our on our built in protection.

Watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3oZvd1W5xw&feature=player_embedded
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] decke003:
I have to second the sentiment above... I am very happy to support someone who is actively engaging the community as SSHGuru has been doing, but I too notice, as soon as I took it out of the packaging, that it did not appear wide enough to cover the entire viewable screen area.

I do not wish to unjustly put anyone off from buying this product, but I felt it necessary to voice my concerns with the fit of this item.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I recognize what you are saying but I get far more people who want it off the edges because of case issues.

Then add to the fact that you have a curved screen and that's the best we can do.

What you get is the best feeling screen protector you can get with the most shatter resistant screen protector you can get.

Unfortunately I can't satisfy everyone so I try to do as much as I can.

If you look at the Galaxy S III XDA forum you will see that I actively change sizes according to testing done but the group.

We used to cover just the display area of the S3. Most people were fine with it but the XDA forum members wanted me to try to get more coverage.

I had 7 test pieces cut and shipped them free to volunteers.

When they said they liked it I changed that design to the permanent one.

Then a month later someone asked for it to be more rounded so we did that.

Most screen protectors are garbage. I would not use one unless it felt like glass. I also appreciate I can drop it on the floor and hit the glass and it won't shatter or scratch. I have done so and have saved my glass more than once.

But if a 1/16th of an inch area around the sides bothers you enough not to want the above well there is really nothing I can do.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rawdikrik:
A screen protector has to do one more thing (other than protecting), it has to be unnoticeable. This is why you like the glass feel. You don't want to have your experience changed at all. If the screen protector doesn't cover at least the viewing area, you will see it every time.

You say it can't be done, but no other screen protector I've seen has problems AT LEAST covering the viewing area.

I want you to be successful. I want your product to be on my phone. I want to feel glass and have the extra protection.

But myself, and many other users, won't partake of your product if there is such a large gap.

If ANYONE ELSE has something to add in the "bigger screen protector" discussion, I would appreciate that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
In a wet application screen protector on curved glass it's NOT POSSIBLE. No company can do it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] artofwar:
So if one wanted an alternative with the most coverage and with a smooth "glass-like" finish/texture, what would be the other alternative? The SPG Ultra Crystal? Does this one have abit more screen coverage then the just like glass protector? Are wet or dry applications better?
