JLG Install Video

Scott, this is the best install video so far. I wish I had it when I installed my JLG on my Note 2 but I also could have paid more attention to your initial suggested video (which was good too). I'll use it as my guide when I install the JLG on my husband's iPhone4s.

I have some edge sections that are not totally adhering but don't get me wrong, they are not peeling up whatsoever. I think it was my fingerprints here I barely touched one edge with dry fingers. Now I know better. It was my very first wet install ever and I'm still really liking the JLG. I was able to (inadvertently) scratch it (very lightly) in a couple of places. I think it happened when I put my Note 2 in my front pocket. There is a small cig-lighter pocket with a flat metal rivet and I'm guessing that this is what made the scratch marks. They are only noticeable when the phone is off and do not bother you when using the phone at all.

I'm still sold on JLGs and like the fact that they do not go all the way to the edges. All of my cases overlap and have a lip so I don't want a protector that goes to the edges. Thanks again.

P.S. sorry I haven't had time to post a thorough review on Amazon but still planning on it.

Hi, im interested on spigen also but wanted to ask if this protector covers the whole screen or does it leaves a big gap on the ends of the screen like the cheap protectors?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] winlinmac001:
All premium screen protectors for the Note leave gaps because of the curvature of the bezel. The only screen protectors that will leave no gap are the cheap protectors which don't adhere properly and lift relatively soon after installation.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
Not entirely true. There are several protectors that are name brand that fit to the edge, however any that do will be of the soft/rubbery variety that suck with the s pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Any scratches you get on a JLG should be what we call micro scratches. Since we don't have several layers of rubber there is no way to avoid it. However the protector is so hard that in my experience all you get is a small scratch that you can't feel or see when the screen on. I've also had them go completely away with use.

I've been so busy running the company I wasn't able to do a current professional installation so it's very nice that Rodger from igadgetgeek did one. JLG is the only protector he'll use so he's installed them on a variety of devices he has.

My Note II is naked because I've been testing screen protectors and I want to do an installation video. However with the in-laws in town and my twin 9 year olds it's too crowded and noisy to get something like that done.

We do have a policy that if you've messed up the installation we'll give you another for 50% off. Just email me at scott@dbacases.com

I doubt if it's defective that looks like normal haze... or chicken pox.

Can you press those areas and move the haze?

Send me an email scott@dbacases.com

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jhobert:
Thanks for the info. The reason I asked is because I have the protector feom tmobile and it leaves a huge gap on all sides. Half an inch by the camera and 1/4 inch on both sides and bottom.

Apparently I will be getting one of these as a birthday present. @Scott are items being shipped during holidays or should I not start holding my breath just yet? It will be a long trip for it as I am in Europe. I don't have access to actual order details since it is a present so I just wonder if they are generally being shipped at the moment or not. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
We been shipping everything the day after the order. Of course we were closed during the holidays but orders entered then were shipped the day after.

We are located in Fort Lauderdale, FL - basically a hurricane magnet so we don't ship from here. I hired a shipper in Indianapolis which is in the center of the country.

Unfortunately they had a Blizzard this week (12 inches of snow) and were closed a day. None of the carriers were picking up because of the conditions.

The next day they were back shipping so everything should be shipped out.

Under normal conditions you can assume 7-10 days to Europe. If I had any detail I could tell you when it was shipped.

Scott - Being a PITA, how are the tempered glass ones coming along? Got any hard dates or is it still in R&D?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I had to look up PITA - lol.

Let's see. The one for the Note II didn't work because of the heat and the sensitivity issues. The one for the iPhone 5 worked until we tried to take it off two weeks later - it would not come off and we ended up pulling up the glass.

So needless to say the company that makes those is not ready for prime time.

I have some more samples on the way.

My overall feeling is that the original JLG is better because no matter what Tempered Glass will add height to the face of the phone and it's not very protective - they do shatter.

But I'm still looking.

Just I installed my jlg protector was super easy to install it also was very fast shipping it looks way good it is so smooth I would recommend this I have always used zagg on all my phones but this jlg screen protector kicks it's butt thanks Scott for getting the word out on your jlg screen protector I'm loving it

Anybody tried fusso smartphone? It is an oleophobic spray. I am thinking about trying it but the $25 is kind of steep. I am stuck with cheap ass T-Mobile screen protectors that suck and the spigens I've used are hard to put on and wasn't happy with my installations.

I ordered this MobC Fine Crystal protector the day I got my phone. I didn't read this thread before I did it but it doesn't matter anyways. I am strongly against screen protectors because I hate the feel and my screen being desensitized . I was VERY surprised that this protector did a great job in being inconspicuous and keeping the OEM feel to the phone. The edges have came up but this was my noob installation. It's also crystal clear and gets pretty close to the edge of the phone. I would reccomend this to anyone.

Once again, thanks for great customer service!

Hey Scott,

I totally appreciate the offer of 50% off another protector but "Honestly" it is not bad...certainly not misaligned enough or damaged in any manner that I need to install another right away! There seem to be so many posts here that people go ahead (after they've read the posts??) and buy on Amazon and then come here and state that they arrived damaged. Are they being honest or just looking for a discounted extra protector? There are so many posts written and discussed here which suggest to buy directly from You/DBACases and not Amazon right now since it can be a packaging crapshoot..Just sayin'.....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I always ask for pictures before replacing or discounting them. However you are correct - I do worry that people may take advantage.

We will be packaging them in a way that Amazon cannot mess them up in shipping soon. Also we sell a TON more on Amazon than our site so the frequency of issues from them is very small.

People are generally honest - and I've been an attorney for 20 years so I'm pretty good at seeing the dishonest ones.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lord Sekhmet:
When you say "shatter", do you mean the screen or the Tempered Glass Protector? If it's the TGP, then great, it saved my phone. Also how well does the JLG protect against drops? (Face first, edge, corner) I wouldn't expect it to help at all with an edge or corner drop.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] moocar99:
Using à Clarivue with no issues, scratches, and dents,......
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
The JLG protector increases the break resistance of your screen. However you are correct when you say it cannot help on those kind of drops.

Anyone use a 3M Vikuiti? I had a DQC-160 on my HD2 for 3 years and it never peeled or discolored and the surface looked and felt close to or better than the underlying glass. In terms of look and feel it was pretty much invisible/nonexistent for the entire 3 years -- was just like having the phone without a protector.

I have a trio of iSmooth protectors waiting for my new Note 2 but I've been wondering how these newfangled iSmooth, Spigen, JLG and Clarivue protectors compare to the Vikuitis.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
The rainbow is to block UV rays so it doesn't peel or yellow.

It should only be seen with the device off or under florescent lighting. Most people just see it when the device is off.

It's something that will slowly diminish but won't go away.

Do you see them when you look at the device normally? Or only at an angle?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Most people tell me the quality is more important than the rainbow but there are a few who worked under the wrong lighting and I've refunded their money.

See how it goes and if you can't handle it let me know.

Hey Scott,

The screen protector looks good but I have some haze on the left side of my phone that has not cleared up. Its been over 7 days.

Give it some time - same as everyone else if it doesn't resolve I'll have to replace it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Scott, I'm wondering if RealLook is one of the brands that you have bought (for purposes of comparison). I do understand it's a dry application (versus your brand which is a wet one) but, from what I've read, it's one of the better screen protectors out there, and would love to hear how they compare (positively or negatively) to yours.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I haven't heard of them. I just looked them up on Amazon and they seem to use the same PET materials that I've tested.

But I've done extensive testing of the films out there are I can't find anything that gives you the glass feeling and look that Just Like Glass does. If they feel like plastic I hate them. Self healing means more layers which means feels more like plastic. I have samples of all of the latest stuff from Japan and Korea and none of them are up to my standards. The self healing one was interesting but it felt like plastic and ours doesn't need self healing since it's a hard protector. Ours also makes the glass more break resistant.

I'm looking for a good dry application protector as an alternative but I have tons of samples and none of them really do it for me.

I tried iSmooth because a few people mentioned it and said the cloth was worth the price. The protectors were terrible but I'm very happy with the cloth :silly:

Anyone can get a Japanese company to package the standard PET material for you so you can sell it online. They will have a minimum order quantity but that's about it. That's why you see these companies popping up all over the place.

JLG is made in the USA and patented.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I had previously commented that I had always been pleased with the ZAGG screen protectors. I purchased the ZAGG for my GN2 after scratching the screen with my keys while leaving the T-Mobile store. The ZAGG protector started to show REALLY bad orange peel after just a week of use, and after another week it was peeling from the corners. I had installed many of these previously and never had either issue occur.

I called ZAGG to see if they had any suggestions, and I was willing to just go buy another one if there was something I could do differently.

I have NEVER been so insulted by someone in customer service/support as I was by this person I spoke to. First he insisted that the peeling at the edges was caused by improper installation. Then when I told him to check my account and see that I had registered 9 screen protectors in the last few years he said that it MUST be the case Im using. I then informed him that I had not been using a case. His last attempt at blaming it on me was asking how often I put it in my pocket, and I answered by I DONT PUT IT IN MY POCKET (since I scratched it anyway...).

It sits in my cup holder on the way to work and on my desk the rest of the day...

After he had pretty much exhausted all possible excuses, he said I could request a replacement to be sent out but there was nothing additional he could suggest to keep this from happening.

By this time, I was so fed up with his lack of service and being rude (its difficult to convey how rude he was here, because I cant replicate the TONE of his comments or the obvious lack of interest he had in the conversation).

I will now read this entire thread and see if I can find an alternate screen protector...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Looks like ZAGG is getting too big.

I can tell you that you won't get that kind of service with Just Like Glass. I would fire anyone who tried to get out of a replacement that way.

I ordered and received a JLG from Amazon and it was badly scratched. It had scratches from top to bottom, perfectly straight. Looked like it happened in the manufacturing process. I am processing a refund through Amazon.

So I ordered a RealLook protector from eBay and will post feedback after I get it installed. I had a Voyager2 and that was garbage. If the RealLook doesn't work out it looks like I'm heading over to Spigen...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Did you try to apply it?

Those scratches are on the non sticky side of the protector and are from the machine rolling the material through to cut it. That's why they are perfectly straight.

Scott
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Vanquiz:
From my opinion JLG vs Realook

JLG is thicker, harder, very smooth just like glass. But I can tell that it's there. The edgefor me is showing a lifted up or peeling effect, but it's not, it's sticked like nothing else, i think it's the glue or something that makes it looks like the edge is lifting I dont know, im actually having a really hard time trying to peel it. The rainbow is showing when the screen is off under some light. It will surely protect better, the demo already shows that it will protect the screen from puncture. Also the screen is very clear, images and text looks very sharp.

Realook, very thin and clear, I can barely tell that it's there, really like nothing. Looks very clean.First time, it has quite some resistance that goes away soon makes it smoother, but cant beat JLG. Also easier to scratch, already see couple micro scraches on the first day. Since its very thin, I don't think it has any stronger impact resistance like JLG.

So the choice is yours which way you want to go, more protection or looks cleaner.

2 more that I used, Zagg HD and Xtremeguard, I ain't wasting more time for further review, those arent made for spen, period.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Well, without even seeing this I ordered one of your products through Amazon... I appreciate your personal reply!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Let me take a second look at it...

-edit- Scott is the man and I'm an idiot. The scratches weren't on the film itself. JLG applied and positive feedback left with Amazon!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ivanmkd:
Hi Scott, i read a lot positive comments about your JLG protectors now i want to buy 2 Jlg protectors, my question is: Do you ship to Macedonia?

And how much is shipping with tracking code? :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
that will teach you to interrupt someone's day with work. your cruelty knows no bounds. I've only delt with them once, and it was just replacement after mine came up after getting hot. as were all aware, some people are better as customer service than others. sometimes, you just have to get lucky.

to side jack, I'm sure you wouldn't mind their amount of business. most companies would fire someone like that as well. i got a boss fired for it; i assumed it would have been me fired. i was off on that one.

I find the JLG gets smoother the more oils that transfer from my fingers to it, which leads to more smudge retention. Nothing that can be cleaned off. I wonder if some kind glass wax could improve that situation.

I finally saw the rainbow effect. Actually more, I finally did not the rainbow effect. Turns out, I'm constantly under florescent lights, LOL. If it's there when the screen is on, I've never noticed it. It's only when the screen is off. I know some people have some anal retentiveness on certain things, but I'm not understanding that issue. I can understand not covering the whole front.

I used Zadd on my Nextel Blackberry, PSP, and Evo 4G. They all started coming up and getting dirt underneath the protector. The feel didn't bother me, but I do like the JLG significantly more. I can't comment on the yellow effect because I never saw it. I think it's one of the a lot of yellow tones I cannot see. I saw the orange peel or dippling, but it just didn't distract me to enough to be an issue.

It's been almost a month. Still looks the same as when I got all the bubbles out No apparently lifting or dirt accumulation. I may have some of those micro scratches, but I don't see them when the screen is on, so I don't care. I rather the JLG get them than the actual screen. Overall, I like the protector and appears to be meeting my expectations.

As for pschatz12's picture, assuming you cleaned the screen well before applying, it looks like you got some air bubbles. I would suggest using the microfiber clother and a credit card. Apply some pressume, but not a lot, clothe and card at an angel and push the bubbles to the edge and out. Since it's been a few days after applying, you should be a minimum risk from moving your protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] winlinmac001:
Had Capdase Klia initially and it was awesome. Though it was very thin, you would need a very sharp object with a lot of pressure to get the scratches visible on the screen protector. Though, Klia is Made in China, the quality of the film was far superior than Spigen. Try it, you won't regret it. The protector feels like glass, has anti-dazzling properties, and is a 100% dry install. Perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
Nah,

You're not an idiot - I know the answer to that question because others have asked the same thing. Not all of them come looking that way.

We ship everywhere.

Shipping is $11.50 unless you spend over $50, then it's free.

We provide tracking codes for USA buyers but I'm afraid not international. The cost of sending it so you get tracking would exceed the cost of the order.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I'd love even 10% of ZAGG's business. They ship 50,000 protectors a day. They make 40% of their money from just Best Buy and Walmart.

For fingerprints I just wipe it on my shirt and it clears up.

You are right about the rainbow effect. I've only had a refund a small handful of people due to sensitivity to it. One person saw it everywhere they went.

As far as how long ours will last we've tested it with a third party firm. We had it tested for putting it in and taking it out of a pocket. After 10,000 times they stopped.

I just got the Otterbox commuter case, and I'm having trouble finding a good screen protector that leaves a nice gap all the way around so as to not interfere with the case.

Anybody else have this case and can recommend a screen protector that doesn't go all the way out to the phone's edges?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
JLG leaves a decent gap all the way around. But gap or not, the commuter should still go on and not interfere with it too much right? My Seidio surface case covers the JLG on the side and there is a gap at the top and bottom.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
JLG fits.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] myculito:
And it won't lift near the edge? If so, then I'm gonna give it a try
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
Well Scott I am about to eat my words about wet install sp and order 2. I am not ordering on Amazon because of the packaging. I bought my mom a Note2 for Xmas and she's dropped it twice already. I have a Spigen on it and it's got several scratches on it from her earings and I am hoping jlg sp will not scratch as easily. I am not bothering with another Spigen because the same thing will happen. Also I fear her screen will crack if dropped and your protector seems like it would would provide better protection from a shattered screen. Too bad you ship from Indiana because I am 10 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale.

Well use this video to install - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00Ywd3N_3g

I've been thinking of doing another video but this one may do.

You bought your mom one? They aren't exactly mom sized phones - my mom still has an iPhone 3gs. My dad has a Galaxy Nexus and it's too big.

Back when I started the company I did meet a local at the Target at Federal and Oakland to sell two Note II cases.

If you or your mom drop the screen and it lands on an angle on the glass it has a much better chance of not shattering.

By the way I'm helping another thread who wants a Chinese made case that they can't get - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36158771#post36158771 I offered to help out and I should be selling them as soon as tomorrow.

We'll have our own DBA Cases Ultra case for the Note II this month. And we will have hot pink :silly:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Rhiannon224:
I know it's not a mom size phone, lol. She had a Sensation and was becoming very unhappy with it. Every time I took out my phone she would comment on its gorgeous screen and how clearly she could read it. She no longer uses her tablet because the Note2 is faster and she can see the screen clearly. Besides who can say no to mom? She was so excited when she got a text from T Mobile about her new device order being placed.

I am on your site now and I was pleasantly surprised by the sale price, a local pickup would be awesome, no waiting on shipping but no worries, we both have sp currently so we aren't naked, lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I'm afraid I don't do local pickups anymore - I don't have stock since I got a fulfillment center. The only reason I had stock before was because I was selling them on EBAY.

Shipping is fast - and since you aren't "naked" you should be fine :laugh:
