[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I have one iSmooth out of three left. The other two went in the garbage. They have the same review tactic as IQ, in the package they say you'll get something free if you post a review. That's why they are so highly ranked and rated.

It's against Amazon rules and it hurts legitimate sellers like us by pushing us down in the rankings.

If you read back some I reviewed the iSmooth - they include a GREAT cloth and it's inspired me to get one just as good. As far as the protectors they do not adhere on the bottom or around the ports. I even tried a wet install on the second and it didn't help. Another forum member tried exactly what I did with the same results.

When someone on this forum or a few people post things about protectors I've never heard of I'll order them. I almost ordered the IQ Shield until I saw the review that said the "lifetime warranty" didn't activate until you posted a review.

If you want to try a JLG you will know that I stand by the product.

I don't care about posts about other protectors - someone posted something positive about the SPG and I checked it out and saw nothing wrong. I don't need to order SPG because I'm already familiar with it. They are a decent company - better than ZAGG or Wrapsol.

I responded to the post about the IQ because it was compared to JLG and because they hurt legitimate sellers. Oh and by the way they don't include the liquid - you have to buy the supplies and mix it - why? Because you can't send it from China - it's not allowed. They can send empty bottles but that's it.

If you want a great cloth get the iSmooth. It's not expensive to try out but from personal experience you'll just end up with a nice cloth.

Sorry if I went on a little long on this post. Lately there have been too many of these companies popping up from nowhere selling cheap protectors from China. They scam the reviews and people buy more of them. When people catch on they are done.

It bothers me tremendously to see people ripped off.

It's not hard to do - there are many companies in China that will put the entire package together for you for about $2. You sell it for $10 you make money. These small companies don't have the resources to make their own unique protector. ZAGG and the others spend a tremendous amount of money trying to improve their brand. (although I don't know how many Monkeys ZAGG has typing trying to figure out a better formula :)).

I get protectors sent to me every week - Chinese, Japanese, Korean. I test them all out - sometimes twice. I have yet to find anything I like. I've tried two different types of Tempered Glass. I could be selling them for a good profit but one of them (which looks fantastic) has problems with the Note II and loses touch sensitivity on the edges. It also makes the phone heat up rapidly (gorilla glass and tempered on it...). I had an iPhone 5 sample as well and I had one of my investors try it out (oops). He liked it until he tried to take it off his phone - it pulled up his actual glass.

The other one just looked cheap.

I think SPG makes the best Tempered Glass out there right now. But I've heard they have some of the same sensitivity issues with curved screens.

I won't sell a product I won't use. Period. I don't care how much money I can make.

I hope to have a "Just Like Glass Dry" to offer but I won't do it unless it's very close to feeling like the JLG Wet.

I'd like to offer JLG Tempered. It's not looking good - they also raise your screen significantly and some cases won't even work with them.

Obviously that's all I can offer because Matte isn't Just Like Glass, nor is mirror, privacy, and all of the other weird stuff they make.

My attitude with anything I sell including cases is that if I wouldn't buy it then it's not good enough. And I have plenty of OCD to go around :silly:

If anyone has a problem with an Amazon order contact me first. They only do refunds not replacements.

I can get a replacement out in a day and you don't have to deal with them.
