Video Review: SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Screenshield - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screenshield from SGP, which they make for a variety of different devices. This is an oil resistant screenshield, which unlike the Ultra Optics, does not affect screen quality at all, but isn't as resistant from fingerprints / glare as the Optics. Overall I'm really pleased with the final product, you can find the full review below:

Great review. Currently using Realook and loving it. Put a Steinheil on my wife's BB 9900 while she was sleeping and she didn't even notice until I told her. Might try it one day...

Thanks for the kind words - Steinheil screen shields have been nothing but fantastic and I've tried all their models for about 4 phones.

Can't find this model (Ultra Oleophobic) for the T-989 on their website. only the Ultra-Crystal and Ultra-Fine.
http://www.sgpstore.com/sgp-samsung-sgh-t989-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html
Does the Sprint version fit on the T-989? If not why are you posting this on the T-989 forum? Might cause some confusion.

They have it but probably OOS

I agree. SGP are my favorite screen protectors. IV used them on 4 or 5 of my last devices and people question why I don't have a screen protector on!

That link says nothing about the T989 only the Sprint version. Unless they are interchangeable (if they were I would think the website would say so) they don't exist for the T989. I am referring to the ULTRA OLEOPHOBIC as was reviewed in the OP. They do have the Crystal for the T-989.

I don't believe they have it at all. If it were OOS it would say OOS. I have emailed them to confirm.

Sorry guys. I checked the icon showing the Phone plus the models, where Ultra Oleophobic was stated there - didn't know they didn't have it, just a little confusion from their site.

Hey,
saw your review a few days ago and it was great. I forgot, did you say you prefer the ultra clear to the oleophobic? More durable?
I'm planning on getting a nice screen protector as well

Will this screen protector work for the Telus T989D? It looks like my screen is the exact same as the t-mobile version.

There is no Oleophobic for the T989. Got an email from SGP confirming that. Only option is Ultra-Crystal and Ultra-Fine "at this time."

Hey guys ,
Just shot this video on a pretty cool case. The only problem with this case for me is the colors. No matte, or no cases without the little sparkles on it, however still a pretty solid case
pd.- sorry for the bubbles on my screen! I just installed it lol
Enjoy!

Great review Raul. I had one of these a few weeks ago and they are beautiful, but it's on it's way back for a refund. It just wasn't quite sturdy enough and doesn't hug the device the way I like it.

List of "full body skin" protection for the SGSIII

Does anyone else find that the full body clear skins always end up peeling at the edges, especially with rounded/curved phones (like the s3)

That's a case, not really a skin.
Phantomskinz chromatics skins are pretty good. They don't have any for the GS3 yet. But I got the carbon fiber look about two years ago for my HTC Glacier and it looked and held up pretty good. Installation was a little tricky, but its worth it IMO.

SGP Ultra Nano Clear screen protector

Hi guys.
I just noticed this on SGP's website:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3/samsung-galaxy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-nano-clear.html
I know someone brought this up in some other thread, but I thought I should open one just for it.
It sure seems interesting.
Does anyone already have it?
Ultra Crystal is discontinued, so what happens with the customers that bought and received it ?
I just ordered the Ultra Crystal from their ebay store, and the item already dispatched

I received mine from their Ebay store. I emailed them about it yesterday; i will report back with what they say.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I originally ordered the Ultra Oleophobic, which they decided not to make and so I changed to the Ultra Crystal. Now Ultra Crystal is no longer available and theres a Ultra Nano with Oleophobic coating??? I still haven't received any dispatch notices and I've ordered these at the start of June.
lol looks like SGP needs to get their stuff together
Not happy either.
I ordered the Oleophobic but after they told me they cancelled those I changed to the Ultra Optics. Here's what I got from SGP a little while ago.
Thank you so much for your recent purchase! Unfortunately, I must inform you that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Steinheil Ultra Optics Screen Protector that you ordered has been discontinued at the moment. After much testing, we have made the decision to omit the Steinheil Ultra Crystal, Ultra Optics, Ultra Oleophobic, and the Ultra Fine Screen Protectors from Galaxy S3 product list to ensure only the best quality screen protectors for all our products. However, we will be receiving shipments of the newly upgraded screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S3 called the Steinheil Ultra Nano Series. It is almost the same as the Ultra Crystal, but much thinner. As soon as we receive that shipment on Monday, we will be able to send out your package with the new upgraded screen protector if you wish to receive this instead. Of course, we will upgrading shipping for expedited shipping. However, if you wish to cancel your order instead, please let me know and I will be able to cancel your order as well.
Once again, we sincerely apologize and we truly appreciate your patience.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Originally they had Ultra Oleophobics, Optics, Clear and ultra fine. Then they cancelled Oleophobic because it was affecting the screen quality. Then they also cancelled the optics and it looks like they've changed the names of the other 2 or created the Ultra Nano Clear and Nano Optics which seem to be thinner. To be honest i'm completely confused now and don't really know what i'm going to be getting lol

I wouldn't expect the seller to do anything. I'm not even going to bother contacting Cretouch. SGP should replace the obsolete product as they are the ones who deemed the product inferior.

Well it is the SGP official USA retailer I bought from. So I assume they work together to fix any issues? (Hopefully send me a new one since I havent used it yet)
But I have seen another user on xda with the Ultra Clear that posted photos and his has no issues adhering to the edges, but then some people recently had issues with theirs. I'm wondering if it was just a recent bad batch.

I was confused too, so I read the description closely. I think the red part makes more clear to understand.
SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear
SPIGEN SGP Steinheilâ„¢ Ultra Screen Protector Film is a high quality film with a hard surface. It protects the LCD screen from scratches and features an advanced optical enhancement layer that improves viewing on LCD screens. The Nano Clear is created to work with the curved screen of the Galaxy S3. The Nano Clear is thinner and more flexible to adhere to the screen of the S3. It is also cut smaller than the screen to prevent any bubbles and lifting from the edges of the screen protector.

I think it's same thing with previous ultra series but thinner. I guess basically ultra nano is thin oleophobic, no??

I think so. The website drop down menu now shows Ultra Nano Clear and Nano Optics so maybe they will update further and have two versions. One I imagine will be Ultra Crystal but thinner and one maybe Ultra Optics but thinner?
I wonder if this new one covers the entire screen or still just part of.
For anyone who already received their Ultra Clear protector, this is the response I receieved from Spigen when asking about exchanging the now-discontinued product:
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com.
There is no need for you to return the product back to us. We will gladly send you an upgraded product without the hassle of going through an exchange. Keep the Ultra Crystal as a gift and we will instead be sending you an Ultra Nano to the same shipping address on your original order. We will be receiving shipments for the Ultra Nano early next week. As soon as we receive shipments for this product, we will be able to ship out a package to you.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.
You won't regret it. It's cheap too!
My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.
Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.
It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.
And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.
I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.
I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.
I already have Rock Case, 4 Cruzerlite TPU cases... and a Leather pouch... Do I need/want one more....?
I have a Cruzelite...definitely sub par to the Diztronic cases I've had in the past and I'm sure it will be the same with the new one I have on the way.

Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.
And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.

cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!
Actually they are in Madison, but my EVO 4G LTE Diz TPU's specifically stated Manufactured in China.
I put them in a bowl of water and they don't sink so I'd guess they aren't full of lead.
The water did turn green and looked like antifreeze though (just kidding!)

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!

It doesn't have a cutout for the camera, as in my opinion I'd rather have it covered so it's protected. If someone can show me an example of diminished picture quality because of it I may be swayed to make a cutout for it in the future. As far as going all the way to the edge of the glass, from what I understand it's not possible to do so on the GS III because of the way the glass tapers on the edges, so we made the screen protector in the same way as our One X screen protector. It essentially covers the flat part of the glass. You could probably go all the way to the edge with a wet adhesive based screen protector, but with a static type screen protector they would just peel up.

Great response. Its great to have good interraction with the manufacture and the end user. That makes for the best experience in both parties. Thank you.

Trident Kraken + SGP Curved Crystal, does it work?

Just wondering whether a trident kraken would fit with a sgp curved crystal?
As I live in the UK, both will take some considerate amount of time to arrive here, so to avoid disappointment could someone with the above combination let me know if it will work or not?
Will the screen protector not lift, given that the silicon soft-cover would just sit above the screen protector?

Just wondering whether a trident kraken would fit with a sgp curved crystal?
As I live in the UK, both will take some considerate amount of time to arrive here, so to avoid disappointment could someone with the above combination let me know if it will work or not?

I am using a Ghost Armor Screen protector on my SGSIII(AT&T) with my Kraken AMS and it works GREAT. My Kraken did not come with a built in screen protector, but Trident did send a screen protector with the set
I too, would like to know if the curved crystal works with the Kraken (which I already have). It's currently on backorder on Spigen's website and I would hate to wait 2 weeks to find out that it lifts/bubbles with the Kraken on!! I have to replace my Skinomi skin which is totally uncompatible with my stylus...

I just read a post earlier that their Glas.t is coming out and I might just wait for that. Loved it on my Note (still have it but need to sell it =/)
I'm sure the Glas.t won't be compatible with a lot of cases like the Kraken because it does add some thickness to the phone

Can you link me to the comment about the glas t please? I just received the curved crystal today :S
I'm the one that posted about the Glas.t in another thread. I emailed spigen asking if they were going to make one for the galaxy s3. They replied:
Dear Jeromy,

Oh thank you, i cant wait for your reply about the kraken.
I just installed my curved crystal and it works perfectly with this (i got the green one):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARD-HYBR...LAXY-S3-I9300-FREE-SCREEN-GUARD-/400303192723
Others reported the silicone cover would cause the protector to lift, but it seems to be fine on mine (the install went quite well). Though just to let you guys know, the protector tends to scratch easily, even with a micro fibre cloth. A bit surprising even though I was aware of the 2H hardness rating.
