SGP FlexHD screen protector

UPDATE: SGP has sent me a new FlexHD for free, so I will be trying it when I receive it. I am actually very impressed with their quick response!
I just got one and it has a horrible rainbowing effect. The bubbles are also seeming to be impossible to get out.
I've read that the rainbow dots will disappear after it has dried, but it has been a few hours and I see no improvement at all.
Should I try removing it and putting it back on? Or is it too late for that?
I'm surprised because I have had good experiences with SGP protectors on my SGS2.

Wait at least a day, maybe even two for it to clear up.
Can you post photos of it on the phone?

Here are some pictures.

Sorry i meant with the screen off to see the coverage of the Shield. Does it cover the entire front or just the screen?

It covers everything except button, front camera, and speaker.

Is it easy to slide your finger across the screen?
And is it starting to look better yet

Yeah, everything about it is fine besides the rainbow ****.
And no.. hasn't improved a single bit. It seems like a defect in manufacturing. I'm going to file a complaint with SGP.

Sgp steinheils make some of the best screen protectors, I'm sure they will give you a free one. If they do and you don't want it, please send it my way as I am interested in trying this

Yeah, give it couple days to dry up. It takes time for water to vaporize and dry.

Odd. I ordered their Ultra Optics version, not FlexHD, which they said would be available from June 4. Had an email Friday "Hello, thank you for your purchase and sorry for this news, but I heard an urgent message from headquarter this morning that there was a problem in production and it is postponed for another several weeks. Apparently the size of the final protector had a problem, but I'm not 100% sure. Would you still wait for its arrival? If not, I will gladly cancel your order. I'm very sorry for your inconvenience. Please let me know. Thank you."
Surprised your version was available if they had size problem on mine.
I cancelled and ordered Brando instead.

I remember Brando protectors way back when I had my Sharp Zaurus, they were the screen protector to have. Much better than Martin Fields and many more expensive ones at the time.

Excuse me for the off-topic, but does anyone know where to buy sgp protectors within the EU? Shipping costs through spigenshop are way too expensive for me.

SGP also sell through Amazon.com where their shipping charges, at least to the UK, are less.

I don't know if you like to dig into facts most of the screen protectors come for some factory and are exactly the same even with variable prices from sellers on ebay and amazon. Buy cheapest one and expensive one. Test it out and realise.
American consumers look at price tags, many will recommend steinheil, ghost armor and all those , and when u end up buying a 50c one and compare, u will be surprised.

On amazon look for tech armor anti glare + anti fingerprint matte protector that's what I use and it's amazing, comes with 3 and is like 6 bucks on amazon

I also use the Tech Armor anti-glare and absolutely love them, and cheap too!! The company also stands very well behind their product.

I'm using atfolix since years on my smartphones and they were always pretty nice. They are very easy to attach plus they live really long.

Same here. I have to agree that there is definitely some grainyness but it doesn't show unless you are looking at solid light colors. Doesnt show in movies or games. Etc.

What about matte front and back shields, any suggestions for those?

Thanks you very much news, I think Samsung mobile phone accessories, screen protector is very good, very clear, and does not give Lewis a bad cell phone traces remain under the protection membrane cleaning can still continue to use the , is a very good accessoriesz

amFilm makes some good and cheap units that you can get on Amazon, so I'd recommend you take a look. I think it's $5 or so for three.

I have this. Got it from a different seller. I actually ordered 2 for my phones. One of them is perfect. No issues, looks invisible once it's applied. The other has the same defect as the original batch or Spigen Glas.tR. Where it has a bubble in the lower right hand corner.
I contacted the seller and I'm awaiting a replacement.
Overall it's very nice, way smoother than any plastic PET film. The oleophobic coating isn't as good as the one on the GG3. It's more like the film on original GG (Takes a few more wipes on your pant leg to get rid of the finger prints). Overall for $7 I paid for mine I'm happy with it.
Should come with alcohol prep pad and lint free cloth. Instructions keep referencing Glas.tR. Its not a clone of the Glas.tR since it has cut outs for the camera and sensors.

Anker® Tempered-Glass Screen Protector

Installed last night and very impressed. Had 3 small patches of spider web, 2 of which have gone on their own and the 3rd is hardly noticeable and I have a feeling this will go too.
There's a slight lift around the edges of the earpiece, I guess that's down to the glass on the phone not being completely flat.
I've had a Spigen tr and a Nillkin, neither of which went on as well as the Anker - although that could be just me having more practice!
Oleophobic coating is also working nicely, a few smears but overall very good indeed.
I'd definitely recommend one especially if you don't want to pay the premium for Spigen.

This is with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid..

Just got one of these myself. Its pretty good but my cruzerlite tpu case is not working well with this SP. Might need to get a different case

I wish this was available in Canada =(

Just put mine on yesterday and only ended up with one small bubble in the top left area of the phone and no spider webs (w00t w00t!)
I have it paired with a Spigen Slim Armor and it fits on JUST about right. Not sure if it's putting pressure on the glass screen but it looks like it fits perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts with it.
Texture on the glass screen is amazing. Neither I or my co-workers could feel any type of difference.

bought this and have small spiderweb at bottom.. still happy, very high quality.
hope sw goes away after time.

I agree, wish I could find these in canada. $15 bucks I'm willing to spend, $35 not so much.

I just installed mine tonight. I love it. Feels great and have no issues with the touch screen.
I could have lined up the protector a little better, but despite that I only have a couple a small air bubbles that should go away.
I highly recommend it! I just wish my cruzerlite case would still work with it. Oh well...

Shame about the cases not working well.. Spigen Hybrid is fine, not noticed any issues as yet.

Can you please provide some pictures? :good:
How thick is this screen protector?

I'll take some later :good:
0.38mm I think, feels very nice though.. not too thick at all.

Many thanks!

I can't seem to find the UK or German amazon site for this?
How does it compare to Mime Ghost glass?

Oh that's weird.. The link came from my order confirmation from Amazon for the glass protector! I didn't read it, just assumed it would be correct.. I guess they aren't selling therm.
Edit: ha just noticed that the original link in the first post goes to the wrong item now too.. Ah well.

I'm wondering when they are selling them again. I'm doubting between Anker or Mime Ghost screen. Which one is better? Anker offers lifetime warranty though!

Not sure, I've not used the Mime yet.. Only this, the Spigen and the Nillkin. The Anker has been the best so far, it's still on my phone and not chipped, which is an improvement!

i got one recently about 2 weeks ago, and for some reason i got a huge bubble spider looking web about half inch on the bottom of my screen and about 2 small spider webs which i didnt mind too much. I contacted them through amazon since supposedly they're bubble "free". This is the reponse i got
"Thanks for the response and sorry for the issue.
Actually we have had this issue reported and we are currently investigating it with our suppliers as it seems to be a batch issue. A replacement as much as I would have liked to make, it's not a viable option.
May I ask a second chance to make things right by issuing a refund? We will further process once we get your consent."
Ever since then the screen protector is not available, i didnt want a refund because i liked the screen protector but that half inch bubble its getting on my nerves. So i went ahead and accepted the refund will be trying Nilkin i guess.

I got this screen protector a couple weeks ago, too, and I have a big bubble at the bottom that hasn't gone away. I just called and they said they have made some manufacturing changes to the protector which should (hopefully) resolve the bubble problems. However, the new batch won't be ready for 1-2 weeks.
I am going to wait for a new one. They will call me when they are ready to be shipped.

Official flip cover
Just got mine, nice straightforward install, no clarity or touch issues. However with my official flip cover case the flap does not close all the way due to the increased height. I left the phone facedown to force the cover shut and it's better now but still doesn't close all the way, just a heads up.

You can buy two of them for $10! Saves $90!

Well after contacting them, they will be sending out replacements but they are currently out of stock :crying:....they said a week before they get any in....

It's a hot seller, it's a shame you guys are having this many issue. I've ordered a bunch from them & never had any issues.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

When are these coming back in stock? I want to order a couple.

I just installed mine and it's very nice. The cutout is perfect and it has rounded edges. It fits perfectly with the Diztronic case. The only issue is that it left a bunch of small air bubbles in the shape of circular patterns; it probably has to do with the adhesive. Pressing down on the screen gets rid of some of them. Hopefully they'll all go away over time. When they're on sale, it's a great deal.
I also got one of the dry install plastic XtremeGuard protectors, since the coupon only worked with purchase of 2+ items and I didn't want to buy two glass ones yet. It's garbage; it's clearly not cut straight. Stay away from their plastic protectors, but I recommend their glass protectors.
