Spigen finally contacted me and let me know they'll send out the nano's when there finished. I bought my glas.tr's on Amazon.com but giving them my amazon order number along with my product serials was sufficient enough for them to verify my order. It's kind of confusing since Spigen took almost a week to respond I also contacted them as a seller through Amazon, either way I think there just backlogged with requests.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
I got an email today too to confirm a replacement is coming
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Batfink33:
I did use the squeegee. I seem to have micro bubbles underneath the protector but they're on the black part of the phone so it's not a major issue plus I think they will probably naturally come out themselves as I have had other protectors and that's what's happened. I've had another problem today though, when my phone was in my pocket, a piece of dirt somehow lodged itself under the edge of the protector, as I was trying to work it out, the protector has shattered slightly. Again not a major problem but annoying as I'm an obsessive with screen protection!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jetlooper:
if you check on amazon, there are the options for the NANO screen protectors on the "Spigen Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector Clear [Crystal]" page. so the nexus 5 is supported
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Peanuts.:
It's only a risk if you don't Have any common sense. Trust me when I say that it will work. My GLAS.tR is still perfect. No bubbles.

Get a cloth and place it on the screen where the bubble is visible. Then place an object on that specific area. <2hrs and it's gone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
I wound up getting the MIME protector for about $10 less, as I got sick of waiting for the NANO, and keep watching the ship date slipping further into December. I've heard some good things about MIME protectors.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
I did exactly this except left it overnight. My bubbles did come out. Then a day later they came back. So evidently it doesn't work for everyone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] liquid150:
I got an update email on my nano. I guess some people got erroneous shipping notifications. I wasn't one of them, but Spigen contacted me anyway. They said shipment is planned to start 11/27 as stated when I bought the item. I thought it was a nice CS gesture.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mobileboost:
I finally heard back from Spigen. They refunded the money for my glas.t and will be sending me a replacement slim armor case that isn't so sharp on the bottom and hopefully has a larger hole for the headphones. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrewdgeek:
t. slim now in stock on amazon.com
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ghatothkach:
hi

this happened to me too.. I was down to two small bubbled, but then after all the adhesive cured the big bubble was back from the dead...

Now I have the big bubble like it was when I applied the protector with 'minimal' force as shown in all the videos...

If I press it it sticks, but then after 15m its back up...

will try to upload some pics later..

Only GLAS.t NANO SLIM I see the .t slim has been removed completely like I can't even view it through previous orders

Authorized reseller or Official store?

Either way, message the seller through eBay.

Another member was able to obtain a refund from a reseller. See hidden text below:

the .tR says estimated delivery in Jan for me.So long time ?

My glas.t Slim has been perfect. No tricks necessary.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Thedonk13:
My .tr got a small chip along the edge of the phone last night... 30 minutes later it spider webbed up the screen and was than removed... literally bumped a gate as I walked by.. Phone was in my pocket...

Hope the new one gets here soon
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bsg411:
Seriously!! Thats waaayyy too delicate for a screen protector!! I was waiting for the nano version but that news is disturbing to say the least....especially since it is a $40 screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Droidguy987:

Looks like Spigen is shipping the new nano screen protectors now. I just received notification from amazon.ca that the glas.tr nano I ordered has shipped.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jetlooper:
Please do a review as soon as you receive it pleasseee :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] liquid150:
Received the Nano today, followed the directions to the letter and it went on with no bubbles, about as perfect as my imperfect eyes could have made it.

It has no flaws or blemishes. Seems to be of great quality. I am very pleased.

Pics when I get the opportunity.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrewdgeek:
Sounds good to me as i ordered nano and waiting now....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caelrie:
I'm unsure what to do with this. I ordered the slim back on November 5th, and Spigen sent me an email saying they were defective and asked if I wanted them to send me a revised one, or if I wanted a refund. I told them to send me the revised one.

I assumed I'd get a nano since that's the revised one for this phone, but I got a slim glas.tr today in the mail. Since I didn't want to wait a month with nothing on my screen, I put an IQshield protector on it, which it turns out I love. I don't want to take that off to put on this slim.tr just to find out it's going to bubble on me. But if I wait and just use the IQshield because I like it, any exchange or refund window on the slim glas.tr will end.

I don't know if I should try it and possibly get burned, or if I should email Spigen and tell them it bubbled without actually trying it and demand a nano in replacement, or what?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bryanlim05:
Maybe they made a mistake. If you read the email they sent it should have had this in it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caelrie:
I looked at my own email and you're right, it does say that specifically. I emailed them back asking for the replacement since the one they sent me has been recalled.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
Hello

I need your help.

I just installed glass tr slim on my nexus 5 and I must say that I'm very very unhappy with this product:crying::mad:

I watched many install videos and follow all instructions but on the end here is my result:

I'm 100% sure that I did nothing wrong when installing. There are no visible dust particles below these bubles. I try to remove them very long time but they always appear back.

Can I do something to remove them? For sure I won't leave this protector on the phone if they can not be removed.

And a lot of money will be lost for nothing. I'm very angry, sad.

Thank you

Kind regards
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Did you read any of this thread at all? Even the last few pages would answer all your issues
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
Sorry, I did not check earlier posts.

I bought this product on amazon.co.uk. What do I have to do now to get a refund or replacement?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
You should go back and check. Again, all the info is in this thread
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
Ok, I will file a claim.

I see that nano model is not listed on amazon.co.uk. This means that only option is a refund.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
What do you suggest, that I wait on nano tr version or do you recommend any other good tempered glas screen protector?

What is now best buy?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
I would wait or go with MIME if you can't wait
[Nexus 5 Accessories] haskida:
so did anyone receive shipping notice for their nano tr replacement? because i haven't (i ordered through spigen official site)

they have already started selling them and i saw people getting shipping notice for their new orders...

you would think people waiting for replacement would be the higher priority....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Nope, not yet
[Nexus 5 Accessories] a.vandelay:
i ordered the tr nano slim today (10% off!), and received a shipping notification email -- well, an intent to ship notification.

does the diztronic case work ok with this screen protector? or will it peel?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
Which is the best way to remove glass tr from screen?

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrewdgeek:
My .tr nano just shipped from ebay.co.uk (ordered via U.S)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
I did not receive a shipping notice at all but I did receive my .t nano replacement for my .t in the mail yesterday. I would imagine the .tr is not too far behind.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] haskida:
Ah I see, that's good to know. May I know where you ordered from and where are you located?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregorvu:
Can you please help me. I don't want to damage new phone.

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jetlooper:
Did you get the "t" or the "tr" ?

Could you please please do a review on it and include pictures ?

Please, I really want to buy a Nano but I haven't found any reviews on it.

Thanks :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
I ordered from spigen on the Amazon website. I am located in Louisiana, USA

BTW I am still waiting on my .tr replacement
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gtj0:
Just use your fingernail or a thin piece of plastic. Start in a corner and just lift slightly and slowly. All it takes is a tiny amount in the corner and the rest of the protector will follow.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rdelfin:
Just installed the new replacement

This message is to let you know about the installation of the Glas.tR Slim Nano we were sent as a replacement.

I'm super pleased to report that installation was not only painlessly achieved, but it was frustration-free and all the air pockets that might appear, can be easily 'squeezed out' at the very first attempt. As for my installation technique, I used the "hinge method" described in a video posted earlier on this thread.

:victory:

Aaahhhhh.. I'm sure you could only imagine what a relief it is to finally get to look at your phone and not see those damn bubbles. Now enjoying a perfect happy marriage between phone and screen protector.

So if you happened to opt for a replacement (as opposed to a refund), rest assured that you made the right choice.

Cheers!

:cool:

PS: Props to Spigen for taking measures in customer satisfaction.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdras:
Did you receive any tracking information or did it just come in the mail one day?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rdelfin:
No, no notification was sent in regards of replacements being on their way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rdelfin:
I think the fact that they contacted to notify about the recall and giving us the option for refund or replacement, and making good on their promise makes them good on cs, in my opinion (not receiving a reply for daily messages some people sent them is another thing for which I don't blame them).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theickleone:
Which nano did you get? t or tr? Are there problems with bubbles? Do you have a case for your phone? Wondering about clearance issues

I agree, I got a quick refund when reporting an issue with my tr. (They didn't have any replacements at the time).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] liquid150:
My glas.t nano went on perfectly. I use a neo hybrid case. The only minor complaint I have is the protector doesn't quite go to the edges of the phone, meaning dust can collect in the gap between the protector and the case. Easily fixed with a compressed air electronics cleaner.

It is maybe half a millimeter off center, but that was my fault at installation. Not complaining, I can live with it.

No bubbles. Very happy. Haven't had the time to snap photos.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] comminus:
Finished applying the glas.tr nano. Previously I had the glas.t installed and IMHO this is definitely worth the extra money. The application was simple - no bubbles, minimal effort. Definitely easier than installing PET protectors.

The protector looks fantastic, the rounded edges on the tr are much better than the rough edge on the t. It almost goes to the edge of the glass, really it's very close. I've attached a couple images... the macro shot is an attempt to show how thin the tr.nano is.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EeWin:
Hello everyone ,

Im getting a Nexus 5 soon.

Here is my question :

Is GLAS.tR NANO SLIM Glass Screen Protector compatible to any type of casing ( Spigen NeoHybrid in particular ) ?

Because the screen protector is so close to the edge , Im afraid that an addition of casing will pressurize and damage the screen protector.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Been answered a bunch of times. Must recently just a few posts back. Search is your friends
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rdelfin:
Having the GLAS.tR NANO SLIM + Any case will NOT cause any issues due to the "R" quality (rounded edges) that makes the protector extremely fitted and case friendly, so you're safe.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theickleone:
Glad to hear this, I will put and order in for a nano.tr (after the christmas gifts are out the way!).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Larxia:
Received my Glas.T Nano slim today. Install went perfect, not a single bubble. Fits great with slim armer case as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrdnauk:
Yes i have one i got from Ebay in the UK for £13 and love it plenty of protecting buttons work well and looks nice well worth the money
[Nexus 5 Accessories] a.vandelay:
well, i cracked my screen protector installing it. oops. :mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tylerdurden83:
I ordered a diztronic case and can't decide on the t or tr...

The t is slimmer, but the tr might feet better in combo with the case thanks to the rounded edges...

Anyone else has the diztronic case and one of these? Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] comminus:
Can't comment on the case, but the edges on the glas.t protector are significantly more fragile than glas.tr

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] imstill@g:
Spigen will give you half off of a replacementm give them a shout.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
I have the Diztronic and the nano.tr. I got the tr because I might want to use the phone without a case sometimes. I used to require heavy duty cases like Ballistic but now, not at all and it's nice to have the option. That said the only real difference is the tr has rounded edges for people who don't use cases and the t has squared edges for people always in a case.

That said the nano.tr works great with the Diztronic.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Could you post up some photos of the diz and the tr?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
I can back this up as well. I have the glas.t (the first gen for the N5), and installed it maybe a month ago. I have two small chips on the edge of the screen protector without any idea of what caused them. They're quite minor, but worth noting.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mikeonic:
Skinomi always for me
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ipowyourface:
Anyone else got their replacement yet? Spigen sent me a GLAS.tR Nano Slim to repalce my GLAS.tR and it arrived a couple of days ago. I haven't tried it yet as i've gotten use to the stupid bubbles and will probably wait a while before using the nano.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gtj0:
Got my replacement tR today. Went on perfectly, looks fantastic (meaning you can't tell it's there)!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
Ditto! Managed to get a small fleck of dust under it, but other than that one bit of user error, looks perfect, and feels even better than the screen without protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AHomelessGuy:
my replacement is coming and I have the defective one installed on my n5 right now. Im thinking of just waiting until it breaks or gets damaged before I switch to the revised version, even though those 3 giant bubbles near the navigation bar are annoying. Does it feel any different than the old version?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shrewdgeek:
Just Installed tr. nano and it installed perfectly...This is first time i am using glass screen protector

First there were bubbles at top left and bottom , but they went away in some 20 mins along with application of squeeze

I thought It doesn't attract fingerprints but its kind of fingerprints all over when i touch ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] apex84:
If you're looking for something fingerprint resistant I can highly recommend matte/anti-glare protectors. I've been using one on my 2012 Nexus 7 for a year now. I thought I would try my Nexus 5 without one but I just couldn't do it so I placed an order and received it today. I'm really satisfied with the result.

I like these because there is less friction between your finger and screen if your finger isn't completely dry and, of course, they get rid of glare making it easier to read in many situations. I'll post photos tomorrow if anyone's interested but this is the one I bought if you'd like to try it for yourself. Placed the order on Thursday last week and received it today.

PS. This is not made of glass. Just a regular thin plastic protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Thedonk13:
Just got an email with a tracking number for my tr nano!! so excited....

i had the other one on my phone, but the edge got chipped somehow (no remember-able moment of bumping it) and proceeded to spider all across the phone...pretty lame...i won't buy another one due to the chipping possibility and cost of the glass (39.99)...but hey, i'm gonna enjoy this one while it's free/replacement...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
Yep got mine a couple of days ago as well. My .tr has so little a bubble just on very top right and left corner that it doesn't even bother me. No way am I replacing it with the nano until the current one break. They will just sit there until it breaks or gets scratched horribly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dngen:
I just got the Glas.tr nano yesterday. I didn't believe it when people said it feels better than the naked screen, but it really does.

The only downside is that mine came with a couple deep scratches at the top under the speaker. Did anyone else get one that came scratched up?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Thedonk13:
Contact their CS...Spigen is usually really good about taking care of their people
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
FINALLY got mine last night - had to Very small bubbles but was able to press them out this morning after it has settled a bit. This thing is gorgeous and its so silky smooth to swipe over - feels better than the screen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jowi:
Got my replacement tR today. Went on perfectly without pressure. All bubbles were gone

in seconds. A great job from spigen!!!! :good:

Regards

[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
My original .t went on just like yours. That's why I couldn't understand the complaints. Then my grandson chipped the .t and the .tr was much harder to install but it came out with just a few Small bubbles top and bottom left corner. Both of my nano's have came in and I have yet to install them. Im fine with my first .tr unless it gets broke or something.

I was trying to tell everyone early in the thread that spigen would make everything right! Did I call it or what? I love it when a plan comes together. Spigens customer support sure has sold me even more.!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Mine too
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crocski:
Some yall are so WORTHLESS, this is my first post, since I've been lurking; you guys are proably thinking who the fck is this troll.

All of you was quick to snap two and three photos of the faults in the first batch. Now that it seem to have been corrected, I've seen about two pictures (if so many) of the replacements that were sent out.

I mean, I almost bought this product and thank you for the thread, which alerted me of the problems at the time but at least show that this batch is better with some photos.

I wanna know if I can go ahead and purchase the product since my phone should be on its way here soon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tysj:
lulz

I'll take some pictures when I get home from work in about 2 hours. Put it on Thursday and other than my error of offsetting downward by less than 0.5mm, it is pretty perfect and managed to get no dust under it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
There's really not much to see in a perfectly applied glass protector. It looks like the screen
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crocski:
thank you sir :D

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Its still good to see for reference for comparison between the first batch and this batch. Not that you have to do a before or after picture together.

Its also certainly not good when people swam the forums about a defected product and get refunds/replacements and never say if its worth it.

Just curious is all.

the thread really did send me some money considering where I live.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
I understand, and I'm not giving you crap. Just wanted to say that mine literally looks exactly like it did without the protector. Adheres all the way around. Stuck down instantly. Perfect fit. Looks just like the screen with nothing on it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tysj:
As I said I would, here are pictures of my tr nano I took in a badly lit room. Click for larger sizes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
And is it just me, or does the nano version seem less prone to fingerprints?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrvtec69:
still waiting for my replacement, no notification from spigen though if it has been sent
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wormbaby11:
I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case that comes with a Ultra Crystal screen protector, I guess I'll be using that until they fix the issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
When I applied mine, I ran the shower for twenty minutes as hot as it could get so as to trap the dust in the air (works like a charm every time). Then cleaned the screen with the alcohol swab and wiped down with microfiber cloth and made sure everything was clean. I lined up everything and laid it flat, was barely off center at the top but after watching youtube videos of the application, knew to run my finger along the center to the side and let the protector do the rest.

It tried, but had a bubble near the speaker, a small one near top left and the entire left corner wouldn't sit no matter what I did. I pulled it up slightly and got the alignment dead on, put it back down and repeated, same result. The pictures in this thread of the bubbles might as well have been taken by me, they're 100% the exact same locations of all the small and big bubbles I had. I've applied probably dozens of different screen protectors and though I've never dealt with glass ones, I'm certain that the issues I and everyone else has (especially with everything being in the same exact spots) are a defect of the manufacturer. I had the Glas.tR vs. the Glas.t so it really looks like something wrong with their process.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wormbaby11:
This is exactly what I did, to the dot. Except I didn't pull it up to realign, since it was pretty dead on already.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _untitled_:
Quick update: Spigen just sent me an email asking for an order number so they can check warranty status.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tyskinner:
I received my slim.t today and it broke while I was putting it on and trying to get the air bubbles out. I wasn't even using much force.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] stvmac11:
I think I just read your review on amazon :) but sorry to hear...

I find it difficult to get these on just right and centered. Too close on one edge and any case that might bend into it can lift the protector.. That's the problem I saw with my S4.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
Got my glass on the new phone. There is a huge bubble on the bottom, I guess is from insufficient addhesive. Its catching a lot of fingerprints and smearing so far :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MWilkenson:
Is this the .t or the .tr
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
tr
