Hi all since i have received my screen protector and installed it today i thought i would leave a small review on it so people could make there minds up on what they wanted.
Whats in the pack:
*who screen steinheil ultra crystal screen protectors.
*one cloth
*one plastic spatula for bubbles
*one sticker pack to remove dust
Application:
The application of the protector was very easy, no sprays needed just the usual back and front sticker.
fit and finish:
The fit is very good with just a hole for the speaker and home button everything else was covered.
as for the finish it is really good from normal viewing distance but if you look very close you can see small imperfections. ( these imperfections are to small for me to actually complain about but i mention it because everyone is different )
The material it self is very good, and does seem to do what the box said it does, it is very clear and there is no orange peel effect or rainbow.
Once on you can not notice it at all.
well ive taken some shots so that you all can see, viewing angles, smudging , macro shots of imperfections and also color representation.
Enjoy and hope this helps
what about the ultra oleophobic? is it glossy?

Nope I have the Ultra Olephobic one not glossy at all. One thing for sure though someone needs to tell them to place their numbers correctly.
They have back written on 1 (back side down) and front marked as 2 (front side up)
I don't know if that makes sense basically if you follow the numbers you are going to stick it the other way around. Which is what I did....
wasted a completely good screen *rant over*
Other then that quiet happy with it.
^
That's what I did as well haha
I found that the Ultra Crystal picks up fingerprints so easily, and its hard to move your finger across the screen smoothly after a while.

Okay.. so it is not glossy at all.. how about the sensitivity of the touch screen? Is it hard to swipe over the screen?

Oh wow! yeah. because it's glossy and glossy screen protectors don't do well with swiping gesture. I may as well tell that matte screen protector is better at swiping but worse for the amoled screen.
Thanks for the review pal!
Now here's what I posted a while back:

Could you please confirm the issues I had?
Also would you mind posting a picture of the SP it's self before application?
Thanks a bunch

Just read your review, i think they updated the pack because it has a front and back sticker.
Also i think we need to give the screen protectors some slack, they will never be as good as the screen because they don't have the reasurch and development budgets.
I have not got any white parts but its only second day, also you get two so if one is damaged just use the next.
As for fingers sticking, its ok if you keep cleaning the screen and lets be honest we all wipe the screen everyday so our baby look nice.
But it is not as smooth as the glass no, bringing me back to my point its just plastic and will never be as god as the glass it covers.
Touch sensitivity is the same for me.

Thanks pal.
Yeah mine looks exactly like yours! With those words Front and Back and those numbers! Still they are really confusing as different SP makers use different notations for referring to the adhesive side.
Anyway I'm happy with how transparent it is but the fingerprints make my phone look ugly! I clean it every day.
Yeah and the touch sensitivity is really awesome.
But I doubt I'd go with this SP the next time...

I received one of these with my SGP Neo Hybrid case, and I am using it right now. But I have a question, doesn't it covering the whole screen including the front camera bother you?I actually tried cutting mine so that the camera and proximity sensor is not covered (could could not do a perfect job, but that is not relevant).
I had ordered a SGP ultra clear before this which looked better, and had the correct holes for front camera etc. But the Ultra Clear is supposedly thinner and got a scratch, so I had to switch to the Crystal once my case arrived.
^^No it doesn't bother me. I am having no problems with sensors or front camera. Pictures are as clear as without protector and sensors are working as they should.
thanks for review, I have to choose between crystal and olephobic
Thanks for that i think ill go for the olephobic friom reading a few reviews it appears to be the best one available.
Thanks for the review. I have ordered a Neo hybrid case so I will be getting one of these with it.
Why didnt they include the camera lens protector anymore for the SGS2 on the ultra oleo?
I like it great product

Personal i never use my front facing camera, as for the sensor it is working normal.
However i guess you need all the clarity possible for video chat so a hole would be preferable in that case.

already got thanks nice review
I only got one of these and it came with no instructions. Just the "FRONT" and "BACK" stickers. Problem is, FRONT says "1" and BACK says "2", but I would have thought if BACK was the one you wanted to remove first, but why does it say 2.. So, which side is the side that you stick down on the screen??
Since I only got one of these I don't want to take a gamble.
Hi, i ordered one of these , aint arrived yet but coming from korea im in UK, thanks for the review, ya 2 for stocky side to phone, does seem odd but lucky i have looked here may have mistaken that
anyone compared this to any other protector ? i want something that aint gonna lose much cause we know how good the screen on this is and would be shame to hide it

sgp crystal = close to glass feel
zagg = rubbery feel
I ordered the anti-fingerprint... should be here in a day or so.. cant wait cause i dont like the feel of the zagg at all!
Let us know how they are.
Especially the anti-fingerprint..
My two biggest probs with this phone are
A. oil
B. not as smooth as an oleophobic coated equivalent. (AKA oil again)
in for the reviews...
Incredible... They are out of stock. FAIL
be happy you didn't get one. i got my anti fingerprint today and there are no holes cut out on it for the front facing camera. their design is wrong its probably the same as the HD2.
Just ordered the anti-fingerprint.
I've been using the crappy one from sprint, and it already has marks on it that won't come off.
I used to use powersupport crystal film on an iphone, and it felt like glass and lasted forever without getting any marks/dings/scratches on it, so I'll see how this compares.

Many of the protectors on the market don't have cutouts for anything but the speaker - this is not that unusual or "wrong"...
I have pretty much settled on boxwave as my sole provider of screen protectors for various devices after having tried many. They have the best custom fit (all holes cut out) screen protectors in my experience. I actually do not use the clear one, just the anti-fingerprint one.
For cases, I pretty much go exclusively with Seidio now too.

its not wrong... like someone else said.. i am not sure i have heard of ANY screen protector that has cutouts on the front for the camera or light sensor. Like i said in the other post, these are "99.9% optically clear" and they should not interfere with anything.
Well.. i got my Steinheil anti-fingerprint the other day and i am shipping it back today.
What i liked: The fit / cut was great! Didnt interfere with the camera and was perfect. I really like the material its made of (not stretchy spongy like Zagg) very hard and felt good on the screen. And the aheisive they used was really awesome! While putting it on, its very easy to take off and move so you make sure you have it in the right spot, but after its on, it stays in place well!
What i didnt like: Really the only thing i didnt like was the matte finish on the anti-fingerprint ones. It felt nice and was great to the touch. My finger glided very smooth over the surface, however, it seemed to give the screen a grainy look and with this beautiful screen on the Evo, you just cant have that.
I would absoulutely buy from them again if they had the clear in stock or could tell me when they would have more in stock. But they cant, so i am returning it and think i will try the handhelditems ones just to see if there is a quality difference in the "value" priced ones VS. the "premium" ones (my guess is there wont be)
zagg has cutouts for both. it's the only one i have delt with.

Just got mine last night. I have the same opinion of it. However, I applied mine anyway because I had the crappy universal Sprint one on there and they only cut a square to match the 4.3" display instead of all of the glass.
I ordered a crystal one also last night...I'm impressed with the anti-fingerprint one, but like you said, the matte/grainy finish is just a no-go on such a nice display.
Boxwave has these cutouts. I have and always will be a Boxwaver....

Boxwave boxwave boxwave. All the correct cutouts and perfect feel and look.
I received the Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear protectors in the mail today. I like the feel of it-no rubbery feel at all. The installation is a dry method and very easy to apply and walk away with a perfect looking screen. There is no wait time like with some other brands out there where you need to use liquid for the installation. On the EVO I've tried Ghost Armor, Phantom Skinz, and ExtremeShields and now Steinheil. Steinheil by far is my preference though wish the protectors were cut to the actual size of the screen not smaller than it. I'd much rather have a more difficult installation with 100% of the screen covered than an easier one with portions of it unprotected. Of all the protectors I've tried cut wise-Phantom Skinz covered the most screen of all them.
so i'm debating on which to get i heard they are all very good i just never used any one of them so i'm not sure. anybody have an opinion on which is the best hard screen protector?
Handhelditems - Anti-glare
Got a 3-pack with 3 day shipping for $9.
However, if I had to choose...I would go with boxwave
I was actually debating over the box wave and the Steinheil and ended up ordering the Steinheil just because from what i read and peoples reviews it seemed like a premium product for the same basic price as the boxwave one (although.. they are prob the same damn thing... just like Zagg vs others that are made from the same 3m product)...
I ordered the anti-glare and it shipped yesterday.. so will let ya know when it gets here.
currently i have bodyguardz and didnt like the rubbery feel of it... i ordered the steinheil crystal and will post up a review when i receive it
so it looks like everyone is leaning toward the steinheil more then? what i want to know is the cost of the martin field justified?
I just got the Steinheil today and these jackoffs didn't cut any holes in the shield for the front facing camera or light sensors making the shield pretty much worthless
Martin fields ftw!
martin fields is cut perfectly. even has a lens cover. crystal clear on the Evo (and HD2). steinheil was crap. would've loved to have supported a california based company, but they need to iron out the kinks in their screen designs.

Obviously you have never shopped for a real camera. I know the front facing vga is not super high quality, but in the camera world it's all about the glass. If you put anything in front of it, yes especially "clear" plastic, it will affect the quality. The light sensor though will probably be fine, but who knows, it could be enough to make everything brighter and look suckier.
not sure about that; I have a wrapsol ultra package on my evo, which, on the screen side, covers up the camera and light sensor, and, they both work perfectly..I have had lots of video chats, and my image is a clear as a bell, and the light sensor works perfectly

I have the Martin Fields and really like it - it's not the same as an Invisible Shield, since it's a rigid plastic not a flexible one. I tried a shield and ended up getting crap underneath - the fields one is washable with mild soap, so even if you get stuff underneath it's easy to deal with.

Just noticed that DCMUGEN is making EVO screen protectors. I used to use their products with my iphone and really liked the quality/clarity of them. They are made from Japanese PET material (insert joke about asians eating cats here). I think they are nice alternative to the $12.99ers. I also ordered a Steinheil so I can compare and see if its worth 10x the price. I'll post in a few weeks.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250643856306
I also ordered one of their clear TPU cases (even comes with a free screen protector) i ordered these from a few different places so I'll post when I get them and let you all know the differences: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350369576859
and no I don't work for them, I think they are a little to far from Wisconsin
edit: Received my Steinheil Ultra Clear in the mail today. Great quality! Going to be tough to compete with this, although for the price i'd hope so!
it protects the entire screen including the camera and the buttons. clarity is nice, feels smooth-- not too different then the glass itself.
I used stuff from DCUMUGEN non my TP2 and it was top quality. I beta tested some protectors and he changed the design immediately after my feedback. The next gen ones were perfect.
no cutout for the front cam? could cause some issues later. also i would really prefer a protector that covered the capacitive buttons at the bottom. i think im going to keep looking, probably the seidio one for me.
I have yet to see a protector that had a cut out for the front cam. Why would you want one?

The Zagg shield I got at Best Buy had the cut out for the camera and covered the bottom buttons, but I didn't like it. While it is true that it would't scratch, it was so sticky that you couldn't slide your finger on it either. It also cost way too much. I ended up just getting the ones from the Sprint store, and even though they don't cover the bottom buttons, I like them much better.

I've got one of these that came with their clear case. Yes it doesn't cover the bottom buttons but it is so smooth that you cannot tell it's there. I really like it and I wasn't even planning on getting a screen protector. I only used this because it came with the case but I was pleasantly surprised.

I have yet to scratch any glass screen, so i'm not sure why i now feel the need to put one on, especially seeing as i have both sprint and best buy insurance on the phone! I guess I worry about it slightly because I've seen many other phones with scratched screens... Using a case with a lay-on-the-table design is probably good enough for screen protection.

ebay or amazon will have something.
i havent scratched the evo yet and never scratched my hero at all, definitely want a case that has a lip over the front so I can lay it down on a table face down though. most likely seidio active right now. not sure if i want to spend the extra $10 on the screen protector yet, but maybe.
why a cutout for the camera? a scratch on the screep protector will make the front cam blurry and so will smudges, which there usually are move of on screen protectors.
unless someone makes a knife proof, smudge proof, glare resistance screen protector i think i might just pass though.

personally i'd rather the screen protector get scratched then the front camera! as long as it stays fairly clear, it shouldn't effect the camera. i still have the plastic protector on the back camera that it came with, its got bubbles all over it and its kinda cloudy-- and still the rear camera looks great. so i'm thinking this steinheil wont effect it at all. The front camera quality isn't that important to me anyhow, since I only use it to see myself. i dont think i'll use the front camera too often, except for putting on makeup while i drive
zagg has cutout on camera only because they're not completely clear...pet material is pretty much invisible

Boxwave has cutouts for the camera and sensors. I love their screen protectors. Unless I tell someone it's on, they don't know. Completely smooth and feels just like the actual glass.
Try Clarivue protectors... the best imop.... i've tried them all.
Just received my 5 pack of dc mugen screen protectors in the mail (took 10 days to get to me, including two weekends), and they're pretty decent.
I hadn't noticed in the ebay description that they don't cover the bottom touch buttons, not the biggest deal but would have liked the consistency.
The protectors don't show any image quality loss, or any loss of quality on the camera. They do look and feel very similar to the stock screen.
The cut isn't perfect, there's about 2mm of the width of the phone that the protector doesn't cover (combined between left and right). It's a little bit hard to line up the protector during the application process, I botched the first try but just about nailed it on the second.
Well worth the 3.49 I paid for five of these suckers, but I might try to find a full coverage one to see if I like it any better. I couldn't imagine I would like any other clear screen protectors better than these enough to pay 12-15 for one, hopefully I can find something similar with a fuller cut.

Sounds like a good product for those of us with the Seidio Rugged
[Okay! I just got my cover (1 day before it was supposed to arrive LOL just like it happened with my V20). Anyway. This is my review:
First of all, here is the link to purchase the cover (maybe cheaper in other websites, maybe not):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26267917850...49&var=561595568110&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Now, lets proceed by telling you what was included:
1x Heavy duty cover (dual layers, 3 pcs); 1x Premium Tempered Glass; 1x Dust absorbant cloth; 1x Cleaning wipe
Finally, Lets get to the review! The good and the bad:
The good: I like the cover. So far i dropped the phone from 3 feets and nothing happened to it. The cover meets Military Grade 810.1-G Compliancy. The first layer feels like a fat layer of clear TPU but it doesnt feel bad at all. The outer layers are made of Polycarbonate to absorb the falls. The TPU layer is enough to absorb the impact but the 2 layers of polycarbonate have 2 purposes to protect, but also to make the phone adjust firmly in the cover. The audio jack and the type c usb port both have dustproof covers so that it doesnt penetrate any dust particles. easily to open and close. With this cover you will be able to use every functionality. Including IR Blaster, and every mic has its big enough hole to let the voice sound as clear as possible. cover doesnt feel bulky, to put it inside your pocket with or without cover, you wouldnt notice the difference (see the picture of the rule and measure your phone with one). it is very light too. Now, the screen protector, im sure it was premium, but i messed up putting it (STUPID DUST PARTICLES FLOATING EVERYWHERE), so now i have to buy a new screen protector lol.
The bad: 1) Your fingerprints will stay on the TPU layer (light fingerprints) but they still there. So,,, if you are into security and no trusting anyone and thinking about someone will do conspiracy against you and will use your fingerprint to unlock the phone, well,,,, it is not for you, unless you paint it with an spray ; 2) possibly another bad side: if you are no accustomed to the volume buttons on the side of the device and have to constantly looking for where exactly to press, then this is not a cover for you, since the buttons totally disappear with it. On the other hand, they are easily to press if you are accustomed to the volume buttons on the side; 3) The cover might slip if the material of the surface were you put it is made of Anodized aluminum or any other material that has been processed or polished.
Funny Fact: Seems that they created the cover missing some information about the phone's physic, since they added a button in the right low side of the cover which has no purpose there LOL!
I havent had any scratch so far (from the fall) yet.
If there is any question, please let me know, and i will try to answer. Or any other comments.
Cheers!
@aknotts415 >> here is what i think about the cover. Pictures are on the first post too
haha..thanks...i was just about to post here and ask if anyone has any thoughts on this case...i'm stuck between this zizo and the poetic...
i dont want to take any chances...I had a Note 7..then replaced it with a recalled version...had a nice spigen tough armor case on it but no screen protector...I accidentally dropped it at work and managed to somehow scratch the screen lightly..i guess it doesnt matter since i'll be replacing it with my LG V20 arriving tomorrow...:good:
**oh, could you post some more pics with the case on...maybe during the daytime with more lighting...so how was the tempered glass protector??? was it actually pretty thick, and any advice on getting it on perfectly???

When i come from college today at 11 am i will posting more pictures from every angle.. Now, about the tempered glass, it is very thick. if it werent for the dust particles in my living room, i would have put it perfectly, Something that i like is that when you put the screen protector, and the put the cover, there is no way any dust will go inside, at least from the front part, since the polycarbonate layer presses the tempered glass, hard enough to no let any dust go inside. So, neither from the front nor the audiojack nor the type c port, you will get dust. I just bought 2 tempere glasses on ebay ahhahahah.
Few advices to put it perfectly: go to a place inside your house where there is the least amount of dust (no air conditioner, no windows, and no fans rotating), clean your hands with alcohol, and let it dry. then start from the hardest part, The top, as soon as you align the top and the edges on the top, it wil become easier. Now, i noticed that many of the screen protectors, such as this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Shield-Te...ywords=lg+v20+tempered+glass+screen+protector
Are not been built correctly. As you can see on the reviews, you will see people talking about the tempered glass not properly adjusting to the edges, And to be honest, i dont know if this tempered glass i used but put wrong had the same issue since i see the edges not properly adjusted . maybe because i removed it 2 times and put it back on, or maybe is the built quality. Anyway, im going to wait for the other tempered glasses. and see if those have the same issue.
i bought this one:

It doesnt feel bad, it could be better though if it were aluminum probably. But i figure that the polycarbonate absorbs impact better than metal. Also, please revisit the the first post of the thread, i made some changes into my review you might want to read.

Does the case block off the 2nd screen? From the official site pics, it seems like it.
thx for posting up more pics...i will definitely order this soon...my phone will be here in an hour or two...

Nope. It doesnt. it leaves even an extra small space after the 2nd screen just to make sure that every touch does work. Also it leaves a small space after every edge for the same reasons. :good:

Ah, I gotcha. Wonder why the pics from their official site and ebay show the front panel like it covers the whole second screen for some of the case colors.

Oh! you are right hahahah. I didn't notice that until i went to the same link on ebay now. The black one shows the 2nd screen, but the others show it as covered . hahaha Probably for the same reason they added something extra to the case that it didnt need to be there as you might have noticed in the picture #8 of the first post i uploaded. But just to play safe, if you will bu y the cover, ask them first.
So my charging flap is already not staying put. I only charged it once and the flap is already loose .

i went ahead and ordered one as well...also ordered this for when im in the house and dont need the full protection...
I ordered the green one. Too cheap to pay for expedited shipping so not sure how quickly it will be here.
My v20 will be here tomorrow and my cheap case from Amazon prime will also be here tomorrow!

Yeah at first i thought the same about mine. But then after a minute or 2 it came back to normal and iI t stayed put covering pretty well. Did you try after a short period of time?
Well , for the time being, i did a little adjustment to mine lol and it worked. I put a very very very thin layer of superglue on the edge of the port-cover and waited for it to dry, now the superglue is part of the case, but now the dustcover protector stays there the second i want it to stay there. Although it is not necessary because as i said before, it will come back to normal after about 1 minute or 2 minutes.
On the other hand, I just dont want to return the cover and have my phone naked for another week LOL . And also, i kind of like how thin it is yet very protective. and the seller gave me $5 dollars back because seems like the "premium screen protector" is one of those that wont stick to the edges correctly, althoguht it might have been my fault since i removed it 3 times and put it back on.

Hey i have a question. when you open the cover to plug the usb charger, does it remains open? or is it like mine that after a few minutes it does closes okay?
Hey guys! Just thought I'd share my experience trying to hunt down the best screen protector for my Galaxy S10e.
After trying about 4 different glass protectors all with pinch hole camera cut outs and being dis satisfied with the look and feel of the edges I decided to try one that came with a solid glass that covered the front entirely. It also had a super thin black boarder that I wasn't entirely convinced I was going to like.
Turns out it is AMAZING!! Phone looks literally as if there is nothing on. Edges are completely smooth so no more scratchy feeling whenever I slide my finger to use the edge display or gesture navigations.
Totally felt I had to share this! You can search for it on Amazon! :highfive:

Share the name and link maybe? Is it case friendly? Do the black edges cover up some screen or leave everything visible as before?
The same?

Sorry wasn't sure if I could share a link i just added it to the OP. Yes it is case friendly and I belive the black border covers a super small part of the screen that is a fraction of a millimeter. When using edge lighting all you need to do is increase the thickness a bit.
However it does not get in the way at all and from my experience it is way better than other screen protectors I have tried that have transparent as they reflect the light at angles. Also the borders look terrible during the day, you can clearly trace it with your eye. This one literally reflects no light and looks like if there is nothing on it at all (the black border provides this effect)
Furthermore, this one comes with a plastic frame that makes placement and alignment such a breeze!
Hope that helps!

Another good one is the tempered glass from Skinomi. It also comes with a install frame and they're 7.99 for a three pack. Look great, install quickly and cover pretty spot on.

I think Skinomi is regular plastic, spray. Maybe I missed it but I can't find temper glass made by Skinomi.

If anyone wants to order from Aliexpress, CHYI brand always made great screen protectors, either hidro, film, tempered... I might try them out on the s10E soon.

Tried this because of your recommendation (and after trying 5 different "perfect" protectors) - it is really great and totally worth the money! Thanks, pal
Got the Nillkin glass protector -> https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6425
It's covering the whole display, with black borders around it(they eat 1-2mm from the actual display).
Very happy about it. Bought it at a locat shop with about 20 euros.

I Love this screen saver
amFilm for Samsung S10e by TechMatte
Very easy install with alignment tool, nice squeegee tool got all the bubbles out. Looks excellent after install was complete. Will update in a few days to see how it look after a few days of use but so far so good. Was probably the easiest Tempered glass screen saver I have ever installed, very satisfied
Bought this exact screen protector because I wanted something inexpensive and without a cam cutout (I'd rather deal with an additional layer of glass on a front camera I anyway never use than with dust piling up in a tiny cutout). Well, I don't share OP's enthusiasm. A corner started to shatter appart after only a week, and I didn't even drop it or anything. It was in the same pocket as my lighter which might be the culprit but c'mon, if it can't handle a lighter and turns into a H8 shards dispenser that soon, how is it supposed to prevent scratches on the screen ?
Another corner got damaged after a 50cm (metric FTW) drop on wooden floor and I decided to get rid of it altogether.
It's cheap, it's easy to apply, it looks good (although the black border overlaps the screen by maybe half a millimeter), and it might last a bit longer for someone less careless than I am, still not a viable long term option according to me.

Sucks you had a bad experience with it. So I ended up reaching out to them after myself finding my screen protector had cracked and they sent me another one for free.
It probably isn't the strongest screen protector but it's cheap, easy to install, and looks great! It's TRUE the protectors with the hole punch are a haven for dust and just look hideous in general.
If you stumble across a better screen protector I'd love to hear about it! Perhaps I'll try it out next if this one tanks on me again
Cheers!

I should receive one from LK in a couple days, let's see how it holds. I cannot ask for a replacement, I'm french and they offer replacement only in america, but this time there's 3 in the package.
Does the amFilm protector black edge cover visible part of the screen like Nilkin does? Nilkin protector black sides cover also OLED visible screen (half mill on each side).
