Has anyone tried these screen protectors yet? They have 8 reviews, all of which are 5 stars. Surprised nobody has mentioned these yet. I went ahead and ordered one to see how it looks. I know it's going to be the matte finish but I'm wondering how the fit is because nobody mentions the fit in a negative manner in any of those reviews.

Looking forward to hearing about the "clear" version.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Would love to hear how you like this as well. Any time there is a random product with all five stars I get suspicious, so be sure to give us a review!
Yeah, they do have the ultra-clear version too (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332858648&sr=1-17) but it's unavailable so wasn't able to order that one. Really just want to see how the fit is...if it's a hybrid of the full size plus SGP's size then I think it will be perfect!
I think its safe to say just about every single one of those reviews are fabricated... some guy commenting even pointed out that one of the reviewers had written a review on multiple products of the same company in the same day.
But alas, try it out, I do like Anti-glare protectors, and report back here, I'll be awaiting a quick (real) review!

Damn, I didn't see that last review comment. I feel like I kind of got ripped off now. Oh well we will see, if it sucks too badly then I'll just return it. Amazon customer service FTW.
I'd love to know as well, I stumbled upon that same exact screen protector this morning, and a quick Google search led me here (was also skeptical of the reviews after reading the last comment).
I LOVE matte screen protector's, but I haven't been able to find one the does not 'rainbow' on the Galaxy Nexus. Need something to stop my sweaty fingers from smudging up the screen! I will be waiting for your review as well, and possibly a close up camera pic to show possible 'rainbowing'?

As a recommendation, I'm using the anti-glare "Basal Guard" from Amazon. The fit is very good, only problem is that it does lip on the edges, if you have a case that covers the edges though you wouldn't be able to tell. As far as rainbowing goes, I don't see any, and it has the standard matte feeling to it.
The antiglare effect is very heavy on the protector, some will hate it, some will appreciate it, I personally do think it detracts from the beautiful screen, but I love the matte feeling so I kept it on.
So I just got it in today and after using it for the day I've decided to take it off already. This is a very heavily matted type screen cover so the rainbow looking pixels are very noticeable on anything white which bugs the living hell out of me. HOWEVER, the fit is near perfect. I think they hit the perfect size from the edge so it doesn't lift up so I will definitely be ordering their ultra-clear one when the come back in stock. I will put up a picture as soon as I get my hands on my girlfriend's camera to show you guys.

Hey fellas,
Finally got my hands on the SGP/Spigen Ultra Nano Clear screen protector. I know a lot of you were interested in this particular protector so I wanted to bring this review/install to you all. As you can see on the video, installing it is pretty simple. Although it is cut short of the edge, the fit is great and the clarity is unrivaled. This looks almost invisible! The down side is you won't get as much protection as the Flex HD, though.
Check out the full review below for more info:
thanks for sharing
Thanks for reviewing this, and the Flex HD. The Otterbox Commuter is a bit delayed and I'm quite curious if its front lips would cover right till the edges of the Ultra Nano Clear or maybe overlap it by a bit. Also curious to know if the case would have conflict with the Flex HD's edges.

I haven't used it yet (but am getting it in soon). From my experiences using it on the Galaxy Nexus, One X & Galaxy S II - I don't think it would cover exactly up to the edges of the Nano Clear, but pretty close to it. This is just estimation but I think there would be a very slight gap left.
The silicone would have conflict with the Flex HD's edges, but not in a completely negative way, it is not as if the screenshield would be damaged. The only thing I see occurring is that the silicone would be pushed up slightly as the Flex HD would dig in underneath.
Not exactly sure when Otterbox will send out my review sample, but as always, keep posted to the channel or the forum and I'll have a video up as soon as I can!
Thank you so much for the video. I ordered these to put on my S3 when i get it from verizon, and this video helped me to know what im purchasing. Very well done
Btw i subscribed as well
Subscribed too, and thanks again for posting the reviews up. They're just what I'm looking for to decide which one to get. Keep up the good work!

Molife Silicone Jelly Case
Introduction:
So, my phone fell in its first weeks and got some nasty scratches on the body, so I decided to buy a case which would protect it from falls and not increase the phone's bulkiness by too much. I visited a local shop and bought this case. Here's a few pics and my thought on this.
Note: I bought this case long back, doing a review now.
Review:
Alright, so first of all, you'll see a nice design on the back. I personally liked it. You'll also see a "Molife" logo on the back. (Now faded since its old)
The case fits perfectly, and it protects the body of the phone and does not increase the bulkiness of the phone by much. It also has professionaly cut-outs for the camera, flash, USB port, mic and the "what-you-tie-that-jig-to-thingy".
You MAY find the USB cut out a little rough, but again it could be a single item problem.
On the whole, I really like this case. It's protected my phone from several falls afterwards, with no damage at all.
Where to Buy: Since I bought this at a local store long ago, I do not have a link. Although I saw one on Flipkart, it seems they have removed it. If anyone does find a link, please do post it here so I can update the OP.
Gallery:
Please visit this link to view the album for all the photos. I have taken photos from every possible angle (at least most of them) and you'll see that everything fits pretty much perfectly.
If you do find it, and if you don't wanna increase the size of your phone by too much, I'd say go for it! Good luck!
As promised, I've finished my in-depth written review with a ton of close ups for those of you who asked in the video comments. If I missed anything you'd like me to follow up on just let me know and I'll be more than happy to include it.
Choosing a case that fits your personality is a unique experience. With so much competition and such awesome designs, it becomes harder and harder each year deciding how you're going to protect your precious investment. I bought the HTC One because I was taken back by the attention to detail and settling on a sub-par case would only do it an injustice. I've been sporting the Outland and Navigator cases by Urban Armor Gear for a little over a week now and all of my expectations have pretty much been blown out of the water.
DESIGN
The moment I took them out of their packaging, my initial reaction revolved around how light they felt in the hand. I knew before I even received them in the mail that the actual design was going to be extremely aggressive and it didn't disappoint. The exposed torx screw heads give an industrial touch that I had never seen before on any case. I'm almost positive they're not real screw heads but it is deceptively convincing plastic and you can't argue how rugged they make the case look and feel.
The inside is lined with a honeycomb texture which molds perfectly into the hard plastic. There's no danger of the materials accidentally damaging your phone thanks to the awesome quality control employed by UAG in their manufacturing process. Not a single excess piece of material is left protruding from the inside of the case or from any of the drilled cut outs.
The back of the case doesn't retain the curved back of the device which may be good news for those of you who like texting on a table. They incorporated small pegs on each of the back corners to help with skid protection while on a flat surface and they have worked really well for me so far.
It's important to note that my favorite feature of this case by far has been the easy to press volume buttons. They're not stiff in the slightest and provide an awesome tactile response when adjusting the sound. The power button on the other hand is a slightly different story, it works fabulous when your finger is directly centered above it but if you're off by just a little it becomes a wrestling match to try and get it to register your push. This may or may not be due to the raised design they chose to go with to incorporate a slit for the IR signal to flow through but it can get a bit annoying when you're in a hurry to turn on your device and your finger doesn't land perfectly on top.
The last thing worth mentioning is a fabulous addition to the charging port cutout. They recessed a thin wall of the rubberized silycon/TPU with a perfect rectangle around the entrance for the USB charging head. If you pick up any other case you may have lying around I'd bet the opening leaves plenty of room for you to accidentally miss and scratch up the chamfered edge or polymer lining on the HTC One but that isn't possible on the UAG cases. It is impossible to miss much less scratch the port surroundings and that is a huge advantage in my opinion. No one wants to see nicks or scratches on their aluminum device especially ones caused by such a frequent and necessary act.
I'm not quite sure what inspired UAG to come up with their signature design but when I look at the Navigator case all I can think of is my uncle's H2 Hummer. Everything from the groves on the doors to the black bumpers and especially the chromed out nameplate which UAG happens to mold into the back of the case with a brushed aluminum look.

BUILD QUALITY
There should be no doubt that these UAG cases are a tank when it comes to protection. I literally just slammed the white one multiple times into a sharp corner of my dining table (I'm sure my wife wouldn't approve if she found out) and apart from some wood stain transferring onto my Navigator case, there is absolutely no damage. The color that did transfer easily came off with a little spit and a shirt rub.
If you didn't catch me saying it in the video, these are composite cases which means they mold two different materials into a single piece allowing them to shave off weight and thickness while maintaining the full benefits of dual layers of protection.
The drilled holes for the camera and the flash give about a 2.5mm clearance and are the most accurately made of all the cases I have ever reviewed. You see absolutely nothing but glass when the phone is installed and that in itself is a major accomplishment.
The case wraps around the phone slightly providing about 2mm of face down protection so no need to worry about your screen getting scratched but just in case you have your doubts, UAG has included a high quality HD screen protector with every case. It's cut about a millimeter short of complete glass coverage but the quality of it is good enough to where I wouldn't send you off to buy a name brand one.
Color options include the following:
Outland (As seen here)
Navigator (As seen here)
Scout
Aero
CONCLUSION
I have a very short list of cases I would deem appropriate for business and pleasure and both the UAG Navigator and Outland are now on that list. They look phenomenal and provide unbelievable protection in a form fitting design. I would hope to see additional colors in the future so if you're like-minded feel free to drop them a line. Their lineup for the HTC One retail for $34.95 and standard shipping is included for free via USPS. I know I've seen many comments on the YouTube video saying that you decided to purchase thanks to my review so please let me know what you think of it if its already arrived.

Why would I post on the other thread when I've got my own set of opinions and content.
I plan on editing the first post after I've used the phone a few days and compiled an in-depth written review accompanied by close up pictures as I've done with every other review thread I've made.
That looks like it adds some bulk to the phone

Yeah after looking at the video post-production I noticed that it made it look huge but trust me its not that bad. I would compare it to the Seidio Active or the Incipio DualPro CF or Shine (not the original DualPro) in thickness. It really feels nice in the hand.

It's definitely a lot slimmer than the dual pro. I have both, and the dual Pro feels pretty massive in the hand. The UAG is significantly less offensive to hold on to.

Yeah the original DualPro is a tank. I wouldn't recommend against it but you have to need top of the line protection to justify the bulk and weight. Not to mention the lip is considerably larger than most other cases out there. In my personal opinion, UAG takes the cake. Now I'm not sure I would say the same between the DualPro CF and the UAG cases, they're both really nice in the hand.

Lol just trying to give you a hard time.
Anyways, do you prefer the UAG over the Otterbox Commuter series more? For protection but not adding too much bulk.

As promised, I've updated the post, hope you guys enjoy the close up images. Thanks!
I appreciate your video reviews, and this one is no different.
However I do think there is some merit in having one thread for the various cases. Everything UAG in the UAG thread, Dual Pro in the Dual Pro thread. Not really anything against you, it's just that XDA has this awful problem of duplication.

I completely agree with you about wishing everything could be self contained but unfortunately the current setup isn't catered to product review sub-forums. The whole reason people including myself review a product is to assist as many people as possible in making an educated purchasing decision. That would not be feasible if I posted on page 12 of someone else's thread primarily because XDA members are notorious for only reading the first and last page of any given thread.
You may also say that they could search if they were really interested in finding all of the available material on a specific case but the Search feature on XDA only brings up thread titles so that would be of no help if I buried it on a different thread. I honestly don't think its that big of a deal. To date there are only 4 UAG case reviews, 2 of them are purely video based, 1 is purely text based and mine is both. They all have something unique to offer so I don't see the big deal.
I will ultimately let the mods have the last word and if they wish for me to consolidate I will happily do so.
For what it's worth, I have no issue with there being a second thread for this great case. Like Chris said, it would be difficult for people to see his review if it was on page 12 of my thread. He clearly spent a lot of time putting his review together, he deserves to have it seen by as many people as possible. Not to mention this review is far better/more comprehensive than my own.
We can all live in harmony :good:

Definitely a hard plastic.
Anyone here getting flash photo wash-out using the white UAG case like I am? Going to call tomorrow and see if they have any comments or suggestions.
My case looks just like yours OP. White ring cutout around the lens and flash. Thought at first maybe it was supposed to be black.

Haven't had to take any flash pictures but let me try to take a few and get back to you.
Had a UAG case for my Note II when I still had it. It was a great case; I might be picking one of these up. Liking both colors so far...
Hey Everyone!
Here's a video review of the Tudia slim-fit CYGEN two piece case. Thise is a nice mix between PC and TPU. For more details check out my video review.
If you dig this and my other videos please make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel, thumbs up the video, and share with any like minded geeks. Thanks!
K.P.
Thanks for the vid. Been on the fence about ordering one. Might go ahead and bite the bullet.
thanx a lot for the video review.
These companies are using the term "slim-fit" WAY too generously. This is far from what most of us would consider a slim fit case...
