spigen screen protectors

Did anyone else buy these when they popped up on Amazon? I got mine last week and was wondering what the cut out was for. It's in the middle of either the top or bottom. Hard to tell, but every leaked picture I see shows the camera being off to the side? At least it looms like that to me...

I actually have the protectors in my hand the cutout is definitely in the middle. All the leaked photos seem to have a camera in the middle.

i would think you'd seen the leaked video of the Nexus 5 from the french site. if not, feel free to do a quick google.
in the video, at about 43 seconds, it shows what appears to be the ear piece up top in the center. looks like it's a bit smaller than the eraser on a number 2 pencil.

A screen protector is really useful? This doesn't spoil user experience? No small bubbles between the protection and the screen?

I have a Spigen oleophobic one for my note2. Easy to apply and longlasting (6+ months). Highly recommended.

So waiting for a link of Spigen's Ultra Oleophobic protection

I live in the UK and found a listing on Amazon. Linky here. Not sure what I will get and when I will get it. But here's hoping it is a genuine Stenheil Product and I receive it close to my N5 :fingers-crossed:

So expect to get 4, not 3 protectors and for them to have a hole in the top middle rather than over the camera where everything points to it being....I'm hopeful stenheil will send replacements if the camera does indeed end up on the left side (which every single indication I've seen is it will)....

Looks like they changed the listing since I ordered, but I received a 4-pack.

Definitely not genuine. He's already shipped the product when the N5 isn't even out yet. He also change his listing and removed the Samsung Nexus 5 name (when we all clearly know the N5 is being made by LG). When I asked him what he has sent and whether it is a genuine Steinheil Product (as even their official website has no placeholder for the Ultra Crystal protector for N5) he simply replied he has sent a compatible one. What the hell is that about?! After 6-7 email exchanges (all logged by Amazon), I went to Amazon as the seller is now unwilling to give me a return postage label. I do not want this generic crap protector which doesn't even have a hole for the earpiece (as seen in the N5 leaked images).
I reported this seller to Amazon and am working through a claim. All I want is a refund, but not happy to pay return postage for a item which was misrepresented. Amazon even told me on the phone that this guy might be in breach of one or more of their policies. Anyway, just waiting for a refund now and will actually wait for the N5 to be released before ordering a SPIGEN protector from a legitimate store.

are just the crystal ones available? anyone have links to legit other ones?

Got one free with my Spigen hybrid case :thumbup:

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.

if you don't care waiting a few weeks, you can buy this Glass-M (0.15mm) for 19.99$ US free shipping to canada :

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.

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.

Nice find. Sadly for me it is expensive. Over $13 when shipping included. I bought 3 cases 2 days ago under 13$ each including shipping. Thought I'd buy these ones as well for under 3 bucks but that didn't work out.

I tried to buy them a couple of days ago but got a message saying they were "out of codes".
I tried again today and I was able to buy all three for under $5...thanks!

Didn't get their case, but I did get their screen protector as an adventure without seeing any IRL pictures. Can't lose much for $3.

I bought the Legion Series for my Pixel 3 case, sigh they sent me the Pixel 3 XL case instead. sigh. Not worth the hassle to return for that price.

Got both black cases and the screen protectors for $6. The protectors get ho-hum 2.5-3 star reviews on other phones so I'm not expecting much but heck... for 6 bux... Thank You!!

Copped an extra case and screen protector coz i don't like the TopAce tempered glass i like, for $5 can't really beat it

So happy I happened upon this post! Ordered my phone yesterday, ordered the case today.

Got my Legion today. Thanks for the bargain, op.
But they sent me the XL. I ordered the regular, and the wrapping says "Pixel 3", but the case much too big. I won't go through the hassle of returning it as I'm in Europe, it would cost more than the item itself...

This happened to me, too. Very strange. Also, maybe things work differently in Europe, but if you receive the wrong item, it shouldn't cost you anything to return it.

Glad I wasn't the only one who got the XL instead of the regular pixel 3.

Thanks @Guiding.God looks like I stumbled on here just in time. The page says there's only 45 mins left! I ordered all 3 ? much appreciated!

Any thoughts or concerns, just let us know as always and we'll take care of you.
Thanks!

So the tempered glass you're making are going to only be like the picture above? I'm not a fan of tempered glass where is just sticky around the edges. Are you making regular ones too?

I believe they will have more than one model according to their post, they say: "full coverage, 3D, and full glue models."

Sorry for the confusion!
We only have one design. It is a 3D design with full adhesive. Thanks!

I'm intrigued but already ordered 5 different full coverage/full adhesive TG Pixel 4 protectors for less than the price of your 1. What's the advantage of this one over others to justify the $20 (apparently 50% off, too) price?

Based on prior models, we decided to go with a 3D mold for the edges of the protector, along with full adhesive. Having a 3D design bumps up pricing a bit. Once you see reviews coming in of our glass I think you will see the difference

I'm not sure what sort of difference the "3D mold for the edges" makes but screw it, I'll give it a shot. I'm already on a spending rampage, having ordered two Pixel 4's (for my wife and myself) and a bunch of other accessories already. :laugh:

Nice,
I loved your screen protectors for the Pixel 1, but your offerings for the Pixel 2 and 3 were sub par at best.
We'll see how these work out.
Will these ship in time to be received when pre ordered phones are delivered to people?

I appreciate trying to deliver them ASAP but I really hope I get this in time for when I get my phone because I don't want to have to order from a million different places. If this is coming a lot later than my phone order, salt I'll have to cancel my order with you guys. I can't afford to not have a tempered glass on my phone and don't have extra funds to buy more than what I need. My phone arrives between this Thursday and Friday

Howdy! We ship to the EU from the USA, however don't have plans to set this up Amazon in the EU. If there is a preferred retailer you'd like to buy from let us know and we can work to get setup with them. Thanks!

I just received mine in the mail today.
Did not find an install tray within the package, should one be included? I am holding off installing it without the install tray...
I also noticed the black border does not follow the pixel 4's screen 100%, so I am afraid the screen's edge will potentially be blocked.
Has anyone noticed the same issue?

https://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_009233221122.html?wid=1433363#goodsDetail

I haven't even received mine yet and I'm already disappointed and planning to refuse delivery and attempt to get a full refund.
I already have 3 other screen protectors for my Pixel 4 that cost significantly less than this one and all but one came with an install tray for proper alignment. Also, IntelliARMOR skimped out and went with DHL for shipping, which is notoriously terrible and just a kick to the face, considering the increased cost of this protector over the competition.
For reference, the package is only traveling over 1 state (Nevada to Colorado) and DHL has had my package for 6 days with an estimated delivery that is still 3 days away. 9 days to ship a screen protector 2 states away?!? Give me a break. USPS, Fedex and UPS all managed to get my other protectors to me within 2-3 days.
@intelliARMOR - If you're going to charge 2-3x more for a protector than your competitors, the least you can do is use better than the worst shipping option possible. And no install tray? Come on.
I'm annoyed that I gave my money to intelliARMOR and will not give up until I get it back.
Also, for those interested, I currently have this full coverage protector installed and it's perfect. it comes with a TPU case that you can install first to use as the guide for the protector install. The case is nice enough that I actually chose to keep it installed rather than slapping my Spigen case on. Oh, and it only costs $8 and arrived within 24 hours of ordering.

Best Clear Cases?

I've always been a fan of the super slim, clear TPU cases for phones (like this one). I've had the most success with Spigen, but it doesn't appear they offer a slim, clear TPU option for the Pixel 5. The closest I could find was this: https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-5-case-ultra-hybrid?variant=32618355163183
Any suggestions out there? Any clear cases you've liked on other devices that are available for the Pixel 5?

Also looking for a clear TPU case, but not seeing ANY cases available for the Pixel 5 beyond the overpriced Google fabric case. I've had good luck in the past with Ringke. I'm hoping to order one to have it prior to Pixel 5 delivery (Oct 30 - Nov 02)

Ah that's the clear Spigen case I want for my pixel 5 but in the UK I can't find it anywhere . Any ideas for any UK people?

For clear I've always used the Otterbox Symmetry. They do run $49.99 but they are supposedly in-stock at Otterbox.com.

I use the clear Spigen for the 3XL and it seems OK: it didn't turn yellow as badly as the cheaper cases on Amazon (those turned really yellow fairly fast on my older phones). After two years, it has a tinge of yellow. The case does show a bit of wear on the back now, probably from the hand sanitizer that didn't dry off well enough when I was using my phone. I don't mind since it serves it's purpose to protect my phone.

liquid protection
This is the best testing I found for liquid. In sum, the impact protection was pretty dramatically increased, but scratch and fingerprint resistance increases were negligible or zero. Placebo effect on me? Anyway, I may go with what the Tuber suggested and do liquid (one applicator can be used to protect several devices per the video) and a glass screen with liquid applied to the screen protector too. I have used glass from Zagg, AmFilm and Supershieldz for the 2XL. They all break or get lint and dog hair stuck in them eventually, and then they need to be replaced. Zagg is probably the strongest, but honestly, I replaced them all after 6 months anyway. Think I will just get a cheapie and liquid glass it.

Saw an Amazon review that pointed out there is a cutout or indentation along the top edge of the screen opening for the speaker (that doesn't exist on the phone)
