Packaging:
Not just thrown haphazardly into an envelope and sent out, the screen protectors (you get two in each package) are enclosed in a thin, sealed, very low profile, textured plastic container/envelope. One side of the container is perforated and has a tab you're supposed to pull to open it up....I pulled it and the damn tab just ripped off. Ended up getting an envelope opener to open it up. Once inside you'll find the protectors, both inside their own plastic sleeve, a cleaning kit inside a plastic sleeve and a cleaning cloth, also inside a plastic sleeve, as well as an installation instruction sheet, printed on a thin plastic "page".
Impression:
Wow! From the quality packaging to the cleaning kit, to how the items were packaged inside the "envelope", the impression here was quality. I felt like I had paid a premium price for a premium product when in reality I only paid about $6.50 per protector and all the other goodies it came with.
Installation:
I'm sure you're all well aware how to install a dry application screen protector so I'll spare you the obvious. I will say that I was able to lay it in place with just 2 small bubbles, and they were easily remedied by rubbing on it with the microfiber cloth, no squeegee needed. The cuts are precision and spot on, no jagged edges or not-quite-straight cuts here. The only cut outs are for the home button and the earpiece speaker, all the sensors are covered. When installed properly, the protector is flush with the top edge of the earpiece speaker and the bottom of the home button and ever-so-slightly wider than the screen itself. The rest of the face of the phone, above, below and to the sides of the areas described above are left uncovered. Can't say I really care for that, but I knew that going in. However, the clarity, lack of rainbow effects and smoothness of the protector is letting me overlook those things. This thing is absolutely gorgeous! If you were the cover the outer edges of the protector there is now way you'd be able to tell one was even installed. It's perfectly smooth as glass!
Final thoughts:
While i'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that the protector doesn't cover the whole face, the impressive clarity and fact that it doesn't take away from the beauty or clarity of the display makes that acceptable. The screen has a little "grab" to it immediately after install, even after cleaning it with the included alcohol wipe, but I imagine it'll be smooth as the naked screen after a little use. The outer edges of the protector don't look like they're adhered very well but I've rubbed on them as much as I could and no progress. If I could get the edges to lay down and adhere nicely as everywhere else, this would be perfect. But because of that I can only rate this a 3.5 out of 5....it's an eye catcher and possibly a dust magnet and takes away from what otherwise is a very nice product.
No problem recommending it, but if perfection is what you want, look elsewhere.

Glad to see someone else likes Realook.
They make a great product, don't know why they don't get the pub SPG gets.

Its only been on a couple hours now and already it feels like the naked screen. My only gripe, the edges....grrrrr

I got mine in today. Installation was fairly easy (no more difficult than any other dry application). I'm very impressed with the clarity! I used the Zagg HD and Skinomi since getting my GS3. After installing the Realook, I'm simply astounded by how good the screen looks! I guess the only down-side is that it's not a "self-healing" type of material like the others. The package says it's scratch resistant with a 3H hard coating. Gorilla Glass, for comparison, is a 9. I expect that it will eventually get scratched up, but the package comes with 2 and it's not that expensive. Personally, I'd rather by more screen protectors every few months to keep the clarity than settle for the self-healing ones that will stay on forever.

have this on my DX, very clear protector.

Well, sad to say but the REALook has to go
Clarity is wonderful, feel is that of the naked screen, but its not sealing around the edges at all and is clearly lifted. It looks tacky, will attract dust and just isnt cutting it for me. I'm gonna give the Moshi iVisor a chance before I go back to wet application options.
Such a shame cause this protector looks and feels great otherwise

used realook for the vibrant n s2. Love realook but I currently have the spg ultra nano. It's clarity is just as good if not better then realook but they fixed curve screen issue.Try it.

I have to second the ultra nano. It doesn't look like anything is on the screen. My only question is whether it protects as well as the 'self healing' protectors?

Yeah, just like when handling PCB boards, only touch the edges of the unstuck side (if you have to).

Mine is doing the same thing, fine on the sides and peeling up at the top and bottom. Using it with an otterbox commuter.

[Review] Moshi iVisor AG screen protector

Packaging:
Minimalist cardboard packaging printed with Soy ink (as stated on the package). Very easy to open with the pull tab on the back. Inside is a cardboard flap that protects the screen protector and included cleaning cloth. As for that cloth...what a joke! It's a nice material but it's roughly the size of 50 cent piece or silver dollar. It's so small it's tough to keep two fingers on it without letting them touch the screen as you're trying to clean it. Once I seen that cleaning cloth I though "oh boy, what did I get myself in to?"
Installation:
Before proceeding with the install I did a dry fit to see how it lines up to get an idea of how it was going to fit. It covers the whole face of the phone all the way to the edge. The cut outs are precise and form fitting and there are two "cutouts" for the capacitive buttons as well. The fact that this protector is able to be removed and replaced at will, guarantees a bubble free installation, took alot of the stress out of the procedure. You don't have to worry about how or where you hold it for fear of getting finger prints on the backside of it since it's the same color as the phone except for where it covers the screen. Simply peel off the protective sheet, line it up at the top with the protector slightly bent in the middle so once it's lined up you can roll it down into place. Once it's in place, use the cleaning cloth to rub all around the colored portion to ensure a good adhesion.
Final Thoughts:
It looks like you don't have a screen protector on it at first glance. If you have a white phone you're well aware of the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, this fixes that. Install took all of 20 seconds and resulted in no dust or bubbles under it. The reason it guarantees no bubbles is because there is no adhesive or other adhering properties on the area that covers the screen. The "adhesive" is only on the colored area. The protector adheres nicely to the phone including the beveled areas of the screen but beware when using this with a case. I have an Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro and because the silicone sleeve barely wraps around the edge of the face of the phone, when you press the volume or lock button it pushes the sleeve against he side of the protector and lifts it I have a Fosmon S style TPU case and checked it out to see how far it's edges wrap around the face of the phone and it looked like it wrapped over it more, but because it's such a tight fit I decided to remove the back cover of the phone before installing it and that worked out perfectly! The phone is nice and snug and it doesn't cause the protector to lift when pressing the buttons since it actually overlaps the protector instead of butting up against it's side.
As for clarity....well, this is an AG protector which stands for anti-glare so i'm sure you all know what that means. The standard grainy effect is there, although it's not as bad as most, and does take away some of the clarity of the screen. It's mostly noticeable on light backgrounds but if you're looking at it close enough you can see it no matter what. One thing that worried me is that there would be an obvious sign that the protector is not adhered to the screen itself...there's not. The protector is nice and smooth to swipe across and even the "openings" over the capacitive buttons are smooth, that's because they aren't actually openings it's just that they aren't colored.
Overall the product is good but it degrades the display quality and limits the cases you can use with it. But it also covers the whole screen, is washable and reuseable, eliminates the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, significantly reduces glare and fingerprints, ensures no bubbles and makes installation a breeze. Only 2 negatives, but they are big deals to alot of us so weight the pros and cons before you go give up your $25 for it

thanks for the great review.

My last hope for this protector is that it plays nicely with the Seidio Surface Garnet Red case I just ordered for it

Good review but I returned mine. I wasn't as good as I hoped for personally. I used it for a good week and a half.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it plays nicely with the new case cause like you I really like this thing...the degredation is there but it's not so significant that I couldn't deal with it given all the other benefits of it.
Thanks guys for the kind words on the review, I try to be as thorough as possible to help those on the fence try to make their decision.

WTF are they thinking not making a clear one? Such potential!!
Hopefully the X gear one has beveled edges.

It doesn't fit with the seidio case. I have the surface case in black. When you slip the case on with the protector on, it squeezes the edges of the screen protector together causing one edge to lift making a slight bubble. I couldn't stand the anti glare so I ended up returning the screen protector. Made the screen look blurry. The screen looks 10x better without it. Also wasn't worth $25 to me. It did feel nice but can't say it looked nice though.
You didn't go wrong with the seidio case though. It's a nice case. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks.

What I meant was I hope it has curved edges like the gs3. I think they mean beveled edges as in not sharp edges so the don't get caught on anything

I like the idea of this as a screen protector, but like others have mentioned with their cases, it does not fit properly with the body glove case. Hopefully I can return it, as I really like the feel of the Body Glove.

Yeah, with someone confirming it doesn't play nicely with the Seidio Surface case, mine is going back too

I have a question. How thick is this protector? The Xgear version is only .4mm thick. That's about half the thickness of a human fingernail!! I was worried about it interfering with the home button but it should be fine considering how thin it is!

[REVIEW] Realook 3D Forming Film Screen Protector

The Realook 3D screen protector arrived earlier than expected. I installed it and so far it has been great. It's a dry application film but it covers the entire screen. Applying it went smoothly and the cutouts aligned perfect. It is barely noticeable and viewing angles are not affected. The film feels very smooth and fingerprints are easy to wipe off. There is an extremely small portion of exposed screen on top and along one side (can be seen in the photo) but it is negligible. I did start applying it from the bottom left corner so this could be why mine came out this way. It's a 3H hard coating so it should be slightly more durable than SPG's Curved Crystal which is 2H. My prior experiences with Realook have been excellent so I'm expecting this one to last for a while.
Since it does cover the entire screen there is a compatibility issue with TPU cases such as Diztronic. However, it does fit my Urban Armor Gear case perfectly so it may fit your heavy duty case. My other cases (Ringke SlimLite, SPG Neo Hybrid and SPG Modello) are also compatible with the Realook 3D screen protector.
I used to own the SPG Flex HD and Ultra Nano. I definitely recommend this one over those two because you don't have to deal with the issues that come with wet application screen protectors and it covers more screen than the Ultra Nano while still being just as clear. I bought the Realook 3D at Amazon for $9.99.
Items included:
-2 3D screen protection films
-Microfiber cloth with squeegee
-Alcohol pad (to clean oily fingers)
-Filament tape

No bubbling present anywhere on the screen. All bubbles came out easily with the squeegee and there is no lint or hair present. I applied it in the bathroom after some steam built up and all particles in the air settled. Tight TPU cases will cause lifting in the sides.

You forgot to mention how does it feel. Super smooth? Any rubbery feeling? I used the Realook for my S2 awhile back and loved it. Didn't know if the 3D forming is the same material they used for the S2 screen protectors.

Is this protector as easily dented as SGP's Curved Crystal is now known&hated for (from the softer material used)? Take your fingernail, apply a little pressure (doesn't take much apparently), and run it down the screen to see if it leaves a groove that won't go away.
Appreciate it...

Just did it and it does have the same SPG issue. I guess this is the only type of material that will allow for dry full screen application. However, from normal use I have not experienced this groove...but I do tend to keep my nails short.

Hmm. Well that sucks - thanks.
I think I may just end up using the updated SGP Ultra Crystal version instead, then. It may not be full coverage, but it's made of a much harder plastic.

Installed it yesterday and am definitely pleased with it! Might order GLAS by SPG when a blue version comes out but in the meantime this is great.

Just installed this and using it paired with an Active case. Was fairly easy to install. No bubbles or marks from the squeegee (they supply a nice rubber one unlike some of the cardboard/plastic ones that come with some others), crystal clear, and smooth when swiping between screens. Not sure how nice it will play with my Quicksand case but time will tell.
Got this from Amazon.com for $9.99 w/free shipping. Arrived in just a couple days. Comes with (2) screen protectors and I only needed one.

Nope. For me it's only along two sides. My friend installed his perfectly without gaps. A reason could be because there is a small amount of error in the manufacturing process so someone is bound to receive one film not perfectly cut. I have no complaints about it though.

I ordered this to compare to SGPs Curved Crystal. The SGPCC I received left a very small gap between the bezel and the protector. It was a nice protector. Very prone to fingerprints, grease and smuding however. I always had these tiny rainbow streaks that would irritate the hell out of me.
I ruined the first 1 because I had a spec of dust get in there and I'm anal about that sort of thing. When removing the spec I incidentally removed a small piece of adhesive from the corner. Couldn't stand lookin at it. XD
The RL protector should arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

I've had this on for about 1 week and I'm a little disappointed. The screen protector is not self healing, I have numerous dents and grooves. I just noticed a nice scrap on the protector tonight. I will order the SGP Curve tomorrow in hopes that it will be a better product.

So I installed the glass as per included instructions. Very easy and nearly flawless installation...
couple bubbles left, but I think they'll go away in couple days.
After installation, I was wiping down my fingerprints with the included cloth and noticed a
couple of faint scratches starting from bottom going up toward middle of screen.
So I sent an email to MIME support. Literally within 5 minutes I received a reply back from MIME.
They asked me to send some pictures of the scratches, which I did.
Then they immediately send me a coupon code for a FREE replacement.

WOW that was the best and fastest customer service I've ever experienced. Kudos MIME-USA:good:
The glass is crystal clear and curved toward the edge. Very nice feel and lightweight.
Oleophobic coating does a great job at reducing fingerprints.
Definitely the best glass I've used on my phone.

perfect application, no bubbles. very happy so far.

I have the spigen and even though I have the bubbles they are no where near the screen. Plus spigen will be sending me a replacement when they fix the problem, best of all I can keep the defective one. No extra cost.
On the Mime side of things, I have one for my note 2 and it was awesome. If Mime had glass protection available at launch I would have gone that way. No problems or fitment issues. Minus the rounded corners on the note 2 that made for a semi good adhesion on the corners. If I wasn't getting a free replacement for. Spigen I'd go directly for the Mime. You pay more but the customer service has rave reviews.

im about to order my nexus 5. Would the mime be a better choice? i actually tried to look for the spigen glass on their site but its not there.

I had the MIME on my S4. It was very veeeery smooth, and it can be easily cleaned. I might order for the N5 too.
Application was very easy too.

I am wondering to buy this one of nilkin.

If anyone has tried this then please do share the reviews and post their experiences too....

I ordered one last week, and it should be here today when I go home for lunch. I'll update with my impressions once I apply it.
UPDATE:
Applied it during lunch. Impressions as I did so:
1. Really fancy packaging.
2. They included a film protector as well - at first, I was like WTF, this isn't glass. I didn't notice the second box inside the package with the glass protector in it.
3. Kind of odd that the front of the glass didn't have a film on it to protect it from scratches during shipment and application. Does not appear to have any scratches on it, though.
4. Easy to apply. Wish they would have included a squeegee to smoosh out the air pockets. I used a credit card covered by the microfiber cloth they included.
5. A few air bubbles remain. I can push them out with my fingers, then they come right back. Applying constant pressure to the spots with a binder clip covered by the microfiber cloth removes these bubbles in 5 minutes or so.
6. Regardless, feels really nice. The rounded corners are definitely a good idea.
For the price, would recommend over SPIGEN so far (MIME was less expensive for me than SPIGEN or XGEAR, and is essentially the same as any other tempered glass protector.)

Got mine in today (the Ghost model). Applied it, almost perfect (a couple of specks, my fault), and it feels REALLY nice. Impressed so far, no bubbles.
When my Spigen .tr replacement gets here, I may just keep it as a spare/backup.

Mine is in the mail... I'll put it on and take some pics once it arrives. I ordered the feather one.
I've owned MIME protectors for the GS4 and the iPhone 5... Nothing but good things to say about the product and their customer service.
I had an issue with the GS4, sent them pictures, had a reply in minutes.

How's the Mime glass protectors compared to the Spigen glas protectors?
I have the glas.tr and it bubbles at the bottom from the known defect and my cruzerlite case also pushes up the bottom right corner (while the Diztronic case doesn't push up the bottom right corner).
For using with a case, is it generally better to use a non-rounded glass screen protector?

Samsung screen protector

Picked up the Samsung Screen Protector yesterday - knew it was a plastic one not tempered glass, but after experiencing issues with the tempered glass protectors on my wife's S7 Edge I thought I'd just go with the one Samsung sold.
Unfortunately I'm not happy with it at all - looked fine on the phone by itself, but kept lifting up on the edges as soon as I put a case on it (Spigen Slim Armor)
So given the choice of screen protector or case - I think I'll go with case.
Even when I pushed the edges down while the case was on it still kept lifting - this is what it looked like after an hour in my pocket:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

So if you're considering the Samsung branded screen protector - beware.

Shoot, I literally just ordered one. About to cancel. Thanks for the heads-up.

I got one of these as well. Took it off after a day because it looked awful. Currently running naked which makes me nervous

Nothing was available when I preordered the phone. So I ordered the Liquid Nano stuff from Amazon. It's supposed to fill in any of the imperfections in the glass and help prevent cracks and scratches. So far so good, but it hasn't been a week yet. I'm a little skeptical but I haven't seen any screen protectors that look worth a damn. I don't believe we'll ever see a good curved glass protector, one with adhesive on all sections of the glass. I will say the liquid nano seems to repel skin oils really well and it says it'll last 2 years. I'll give it a month before I say it's good or not.

Where did you buy it?

Bought this too. It's fully compatible with the Ringke Slim case since it doesn't lift around the edges. The only issue I've had with this screen protector is that the edges seem to collect dust - after 2 days, it looks like there's a thin white border all around. At least it doesn't lift with my case.

The Suprecool Screen Protector for S8 Plus in itself is great, I cannot even feel it, and it feels like it will be at least some form of protection, I have yet to drop it, and don't really feel like testing my Phone.

Can clearly see that it's your case peeling the protector, get a new case that doesn't lift the protector off, apply it correctly and you will have no issues.
Im using the same protector but with the clear case from Samsung wich doesn't peel the protector like yours is doing, no issues, ill take one pic tomorrow.

I ended up getting a pack of these after I posted on April 24th and I was able to successfully install the first one flawlessly and it's still on looking great. No peeling or anything. Wasn't hard to install either. Had a few small bubbles that disappeared within an hour.

Any updates regarding the liquid nano? Which brand did you bought?

I think it's not available in India
Edit:- Here it is.. but I have doubt that it's not genuine because all 38 reviews from out side of India

I use the official Samsung Screen Protector and also use the Alcantara case and have had no problems. In fact, all the cases I've used have had no problems with this screen protector. There is a very slight edge lift on all the edges, but it shouldn't interfere with the screen and it shouldn't continue past the bezels. Mine was installed in the Samsung Store by an employee.

This lip on all the edges was actually my problem, in fact it was a little bit more pronounced on the right edge; but you could feel it clearly when swiping and it obviously collects dust in time, looking more and more terrible....

Hm, that's interesting. It hasn't happened to me... yet. I've had the screen protector for about a month. I'll update if this does happen unless I get some major scratch soon.

I don't see anything wrong with the transparency of the screen protector. It seems good to me. Maybe you got a bad one?

I don't know. But it was perfectly aligned and installed by the seller in Samsung Store.....
If you say it didn't raise further from the edges and didn't collect dust in about a month, maybe I'll try another one...
Thanks!

Got this and no issues with it yet. The screen feels more natural (like the actual phone) as opposed to the spigen one i used - which ironically the reason why i changed was because it was lifting after a coupe of hours.

the case is the issue - not the screen protector.
Re the nano liquid - waste of money. Mine slide down my ironing board when I folded it, and gently hit the floor and folded face down onto wood flooring - result was a chip in the middle of the glass. These merely help to keep the screen a little cleaner. Thats all.
