We ship out all of our protectors in a box so this doesn't happen.

Amazon refuses to stop sending them in the padded envelopes.

We are going to have it in a "real" package early next year - we are working on it as I speak.

Just email me at scott@dbacases.com with your order number, name and address and I'll have another shipped to you directly from our factory.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AirBruce:
Geez Scott,

I'll be the first to admit that I really admire your customer service. But at times I also feel for you, due mostly in part to the fact that you have to spend so much money in replacing a faulty products due to shipping. :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] predation:
JUST an FYI guys.

I will be getting a review unit of REALOOK's 3D curved screen protector. My contact over there is still waiting on shipments from the factory.

as soon as i get it, i will post up immediately.

I'm getting my note 2 this week.. hopefully i can get a preview SP by next week......

stay tuned....

i've been waiting for the 3d curved SP for a Looooooonnnnnnggg time... time for the end of that nasty gap between the edges and SP.

Im using an anti fingerprint protector and it kinda ruin the display.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Hopefully when we get our stuff in our own packaging that will diminish the returns. However the volume Amazon gets us certainly helps. That's why I like to get reviews on the products.

We test protectors here all the time - let me know how it is.

The last curved protector I got as a sample was worst than a ZAGG.

I may have a tempered glass solution next year. I've been testing them and with the Note II there is a problem with sensitivity at the edges and heat.

When I get my Galaxy Ace I'll be first in line!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
hmmmm JLG over Spigen? is it easy to have a lot of fingerprints on JGL screen protectors?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Depends on how often you wash your hands.

If you eat Kentucky Fried Chicken forget about it. :silly:

They are very easy to wipe off - I use my shirt.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
i've been a big fan of spigen oleo version. compared to that for instance.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lord Sekhmet:
I am/was getting your JLG screen protector to protect my screen until XGear becomes available. My first choice was Spigen, but they dropped out of the race. Now if you have a tempered glass one, you will be my first choice. Seeing how much people love your stuff(my first choice for non-glass) I am willing to gamble on your Tempered Glass protector.

So, how much longer until the first ones come to fruition?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Unfortunately so far the tempered glass protectors have their downsides.

The ones I just finished testing were very high quality. However with the Note II protector there was a loss of touch sensitivity at the edges and since it glass on glass I felt it was overheating. Also it raised the level of the glass making it potentially problematic for cases.

I had the iPhone 5 version tested and the person who tested it decided to take it off tonight. He could not get it off without a major (very major) effort and ended up pulling the iPhone glass up also.

I have samples from another company on the way.

I think the major issues are going to be that on curved glass at the right and left ends you will lose sensitivity. It looked fantastic but I had to take it off because it was so annoying. I was also very concerned with putting a tempered glass protector on top of Gorilla Glass 2 - it really got hot.

I'm going to test the new ones on the iPhone first and then if they are good I will have to have them make some for the Note II. They don't currently make them for Samsung devices because of the curved glass issue. They are willing to try if I want but I want to test how good the iPhone ones are first.

To be honest when I took it off the Note II and put the JLG back on I was much happier. Even though the tempered glass was "prettier" the JLG didn't have any issues with sensitivity, heat, or anything else.

I'm continuing to research them.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lord Sekhmet:
Scott - Thank you for your quick and thorough explanation. I appreciate it so much I will use the JLG and when/if you decide to make the tempered glass version, I will switch to that one.

JLG Protector

Bought a JLG Protector on Amazon. Thought it was a dry protector when I ordered it, but of course it was a wet one. Installation was a snap just like I remember, however I had a good deal of "rainbow" effect. It has minimized a bit over the last two weeks, but it is still very much visible.

Nice, Smooth, but the rainbow effect is annoying!

Thinking of trying another protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
Has anyone had any luck with removing and reinstalling the JLG? I kinda wanted to try other protectors as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Don't do it...

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

You should only see Rainbow when off.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
scott,

lookin for something unbias (since your ceo of JLG), compared to spigen oleo.

how does your comparE?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Scott's is definitely clearer and smoother but does show more fingerprints. I personally would rather have a clearer/smoother protector with more fingerprints than vice versa...but that's just me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheNeck:
JLG it is

after reading all your comments I decided to buy JLG off amazon

luckily ive done other water applications before, so it should be no problem installing the JLG one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
just ordered the jlg. hopefully i dont' be disappointed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
In terms of whether you should take it off I can tell you from our perspective it doesn't work out.

I can't really compare us to most other brands - I let other people do that. Not only am I biased (they all stink!:silly:) but I've only tested a few.

All screen protectors have their downsides so it's really a matter of which you prefer.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Are you sayiing JLG is hard to take off?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dragoncius:
I got some matte ones from ebay and love them. Fingerprint resistant and really clear.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
No,

It's easy to take it off. And when you remove it it leaves no residue. You just push a corner with your fingernail and it will pop up enough for you to pull it off.

The tempered glass ones we don't sell that I was testing were impossible to take off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
I usually buy a 12" x 12" piece of this, and call it a day. Cost is about $10, and you can cut several out of 1 sheet. Of course I have to cut it myself, but putting my phone on a copy machine then printing a paper template, I can get a good template and cut it with a really sharp razor knife.

Stuff works out amazingly well. Basically similar to a lot of other polyurethane films, by 3m etc.

I can never get water based one correctly, any other solution - I remember one for SG3 - u place and roll it down..any such solution for note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
Have you tried the steamy bathroom directions for applying the screen protector?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] inningsdefeat500:
I dont get enough steam :p

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] juanaraya92679:
I dont know how anyone can use these matte ones.....i had them on my razr and

Its just destroys the quality of colors and purpose of having an amoled screen. Just my experience.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Yeah,

There is no such thing as a clear matte..

I tested a very high quality one recently and while it did stop fingerprints it ruined the look and feel of the protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Nellyinda803:
Well...heres a comparison between the JLG and the iSmooth protector, both bought from amazon.

So I installed the JLG on my girlfriends note 2. Was a perfect wet install. Overall the protector was good and smooth. Loved the thickness of the protector I must say. And just today, my girlfriend scratched the protector. She did not know how she did it but thankful it did not scratch the actual screen so very happy with the thickness. If you are thinking about this protector dont hesitate to buy it.

I wanted to try a different protector for mine. Purchased the iSmooth for $9.97 USD. Came with 3 protectors, huge micro fiber cloth, and lint stickers. It is a dry install but I used a wet install and was perfect install with no lint. Honestly I like the cutout from the ismooth better. Covers just a slight bit more at the top of the phone. Also a slight bit thinner than the JLG. The feel is similar to the JLG, but I do think I like the feel of the Ismooth better. I have had it for a week and since ive got 3 if this starts to yellow. They also give you the chance for 3 free protectors when you write a review on their site. Good deal I must say.

Conclusion: while they are both very similar for my personal preference I would choose the iSmooth but I understand everybody might not feel the same way about them. But i do like the slight thickness the JLG has over the iSmooth. You can not go wrong with either one.

from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
The iSmooth is PET material made in Japan.

That's generally better than the stuff made in China - in fact I have a pile of the same stuff I've tried over the last few weeks.

But you've intrigued me so I just ordered them from Amazon to see how they compare. I may be able to match them up to the samples I have here.

The worst I do is get a terrific cloth (everyone raves about it).

Just got the JLG protector and it was a since putting it on. No bubbles just waiting for it to dry. When the screen is on I can see some of the moisture. Will this clear up in 36hrs?

Yes that's haze.

I would get as much out as you can - it will be gone in 36-48 hours.

They said it was delivered to front door but never received anything. Sucks, now I have to fight for refund
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] capaxdoli:
Got the SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Steinheil Series [Ultra Optics] today. The Spigen site says that Ultra optics is supposed to be like the middle path between a matt finish and the non-matt. Just affixed it on the sgn2 and that went very well. No bubbles at all. But and this is a big BUT...when i tried the S-Pen on it... My God... was I in for a rude shock. It was like writing with a screw driver on quick sand scrub (used in the construction industry). The point it is that it was very unpleasant and rough - not to mention the squeaky noise that the screen makes everytime i touch the screen. it is very infuriating. I got the best cause i wanted it to be good...wasn't expecting this very sad. i wish they had atleast mentioned the squeeky sound in their website. so i though i should let you guys know before you end up buying this. oh by the way it costed me $21 with shipping and $21 is certainly expensive for a screen protector

I am planning to write to them. if there is any positive response i will post back.

Update 1: i have left a review on their website and also wrote to their customer support. will update if anything turns out. if no further updates then it means that they did not respond.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borijess:
I was going to cancel my order when hearing all this rainbow talk. Now once I had it on and it has mostly cleared up. I am loving this SP. Great work from another happy customer. Probably going to purchase one for my wifes I phone 5.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sooby77:
I have the oleophobic version on my Note 2 and don't have this problem problem. I am actually quite pleased with it. S-pen doesn't squeak, but does seem to scratch. The interesting thing is that the scratches can be be wiped off. It's not a permanent scratch. :confused:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheNeck:
i ordered 2 cases and a JLG screen protector from amazon, which should have been delivered on Friday, but due to adverse weather conditions got delayed, but now it doesn't even look like i will receive it Monday either. I talked to amazon CS a couple times and just got an email from them saying i have to wait till the 28th and if i dont receive my package by then, then request for a refund. This really sucks because i really wanted to install the JLG screen protector Friday night.

This is the 1st time amazon has let me down, but what can they do about the weather, i know. :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Happened to install a JLG protector.

Initial install wasn't easy, yet a little annoying with the spray.

I'll wait for 24 hrs to see if the stuff clears up.

Just installed my JLG sp and im loving it..I was using the sp that came with the phone, the 1 that says volume up volume down lol...installation was not as hard as I thought. Im loving how smooth it is and how the SPen just glides with it..a very satisfied customer!! Highly recommend JLG!!

JLG With the defender

any have experience with the otter box defender and the just like glass SP

I am getting the case soon and I heard some poor reviews of the otterbox defender integral screen protector with many people opting to punch it out and use another brand screen protector

Wondering about the fit with the case on top
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Probably just not pro enough to install these wet based protectors. Anyways, I had to lift twice to respray remove lint and try again. I have 2 small bubbles where dust used to be, but it was removed with a scotch tape. I'm hoping the two small bubbles would clear since I already pushed all the water out. If the two clears, I think the protector would be looking great. Let's hope for the best... sigh
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
We've had many people use them as a replacement for the Otterbox screen with no problems. They are made "case friendly"

This was my second ever installing a wet protector. I watched video tutorials before I do something like this. Dba cases has a vid also. It went pretty smooth vor me. The only thing I have some haze along the left side of the phone. Most of the haze is gone and looks great. Thanks Scott!

I'm getting pretty good at this and would make a video - but if you've seen the others I've made you know why someone else probably should do it... mine go very long.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jhobert:
Does it covers the whole screen, All the protectors ive bought leaves atleast 5mm on all sides of the screen exposed
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
JLG screen protector. Talk about rainbow effect... Also 2 bubbles.. Not sure if the bubble will disappear.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Under bright light with the screen off that's absolutely normal.

In normal light where I am right now I can barely see it. When the screen is on it's gone.

I'll wait til tomorrow to make sure all bubbles and hazes clear.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Shizrn:
I went with the SGP Oleophobic after reading tons of reviews. Got it on perfectly in a matter of minutes and couldn't be happier. Less fingerprints than the bare glass and fits right up to the edges of the Otterbox Defender case I'm using. Looks like no protector is on at all and s pen feels so smooth. I can't believe these protectors are this sweet nowadays. Thx for all the feedback everyone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
The only time you can see the rainbow effect is with fluorescent/monitor lighting and the screen off. Under natural light it will not be visible.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
use the microfiber and a credit card and you can remove those bubbles. Will take about ten seconds to complete.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
JLG,

Cant' say i'm completely satisfied with the screen protector.

Not a big fan of the ugly rainbow that I see on the protector (but I can live with that).

The thing that I can't live with is that I have few specs of clouds under the protector (no dust). These clouds look like microscopic bubbles that can't be removed with the credit card. I've been at the for half hr yesterday and today it's still here. Not sure if it's the protector problem or not.

Don't get me wrong, i've installed countless screen protectors in my life. I've went through maybe 6 phones in the pass 4 yrs and everyone of them had protectors. Same very good protectors, 0 bubbles, 0 dust, 0 problems. Some minor problems. This one (JLG), minor problems which I'm pretty sure wasn't caused by me.

Ghost Armor vs. Wrapsol vs. JLG

I had been following this thread from the beginning and after trying Ghost Armor and Wrapsol decided to also buy a JLG screen protector - I'm quite particular when it comes to screen protectors and while not unhappy with the Ghost Armor, decided to give both Wrapsol and GLG a try as well.

Installed the Wrapsol on my gf's Note and noticed an immediate difference between the two. While the Ghost Armor screen protector is nice and thick, it does have two drawbacks compared to the Wrapsol - 1) Slight resistance when touching over the screen, 2) Heavy indentations from writing and when I tested digging in my nail resulted in a slight mark that while reduced over time, persisted to a degree nonetheless.

So the Wrapsol was a clear cut winner vs. the Ghost Armor.

Now I then removed the Ghost Armor and applied the JLG screen protector on. I'm quite familiar with wet installations from previous devices, and I must say I still had a tad bit of difficulty getting this one on perfectly - it did go on just fine though after a bit of realigning.

First thing I noticed with the JLG, there were a lot of VERY tiny bubbles (that do not come out with the card). It looked to me like condensation. Over the next two days though, it diminished significantly, and today (6 days after installing) are COMPLETELY gone.

I do however have three or four specks of dust that adhered to the protector, all on the bottom left corner, and am now contemplating what to do... I know these JLG screen protectors don't reapply very well after removal but I suppose it's not a fault of the protector at all. I'm just bummed I didn't get it done perfectly, so I may force myself to remove and install another Wrapsol screen protector since I bought a couple extras at the time of purchase.

Overall, JLG is a very good screen protector - smooth, feeling very similar to the actual screen itself. Just make sure that if you're OCD like I am, apply it correctly the first time (if you can't stand the sight of dust) otherwise you may regret it like I did.

SGP Steinheil {Very Disappointed}

I have used the Spigen Steinheil Screen Protectors on my last 3 phones and have always had exceptional quality and service. I ordered my SGP protectors for my Galaxy Note 2 and they were received damaged and I am not able to install them because they are creased from the shipping. I have emailed their customer service on 4 different occasions and have yet to even get a response. I will NEVER order from them again and would highly recommend you use another source for your screen protection. I think I might try Scott's JLG this time!!! I can not believe how poor Steinheil customer service is....BEWARE!!!
