SGP Ultra NANO clear screen protector review.

Hi guys !
I received the shipment today and did a little review for you.
I'll start with the fact that I don't like any screen protectors, and any phone cases.
But sometimes these things are necessary for us. (example: while on beach, I always scratched all my phones)
I also got very intrigued by the word "NANO"
In the package you will find:
- 3 screen protectors. (Thank you for that SGP)
- cloth (to clear the screen)
- 4 stickers, for dust removal . (by the way it helped me)
- plastic scoop (to align the surface)
- serial number (to verify the authenticity of the product)
- spam

What I liked:
-easy to install.
-almost not visible on phone. (which is true guys)
-does not interfere with the reflection (important for me)
-0% distortion of the quality of the screen
-good protection.
What don't liked
- Feeling that Protector will come off from the edges very soon.
May be due to the fact that I improperly installed in the middle of the screen (I confirm that the film was based on the screen incorrectly, I redid the work, everything is perfect now !!!!!
- easy to put fingerprints (My niece helped me to verify this)
You will tell me what about protection from scratches?
No problem let me show you something
- film is easily deforming(will be seen even a trace of nail hands)
I'm not talking about real scratches as these
honestly say I was scared that scratched own phone , But after removing the film, I realized the fact that SGP Ultra NANO clear protector not only doesn't spoil the image quality (which is completely perfect), but also provides good protection.
Best Regards.
AvetNY.

Thanks purchased this today, cant wait to get it now

As long as protection and screen image quality is solid, then I'm in

They just updated their page with a new screen protector for the Galaxy S 3 the ultra nano optics anti-fingerprint version.

Nice review! It's pretty shocking when you had a knife next to the phone.. :good::good: I was thinking getting wet screen protector or whole shield, but it looks very attractive.

I am just a little bit sceptical, they reduced the size of it to prevent having bubles on the edges due to the curved glass on the s3, I have a similar screen priotector and the smaller size does get on my nerves as it tends to get lifted up and makes you notice the uneven edge on the face of the phone.
I think ill go for the other version with the full covering

I just got the order today and I'm worried about protection. This screen protector is extremely thin... almost like cellophane you find on cigarette packs. I ran a knife against it and blade went through easily. I wish they could have kept the thickness same as ultra crystal. I kind of prefer ultra crystal film even though edges were bubbling up a little. It wasn't very noticeable to me at least. I always been a huge fan of SGP but Galaxy S3 screen protector are huge disappointment, including flex hd (rainbow effects that won't go away).
I so want glas.t for S3

No. Absolutely not

when you talk about the screen easily deforming, do you mean if i take my finger nail and rub it across that it'll make permanent marks on the protector?

thanks for the review, very nice job
anyway i got a question: just noticed that there are 2 versions of this protector, the optics and clear, so i'm wondering, what are the differences?

ughh I should have read this review before I made my order because I ordered Flex HD. The cutout isn't really visible Thanks for sharing your review. I'm too scared to do knife thingy

Thanks for the review, I ordered both the nano clear and nano optics. Hopefully its the same as their older protectors.

I liked how conveniently the instructions were on the packaging. It puts them right in front of you so you remember to read them.
Very basic kit, you get your quick how-to card, business card, cleaning cloth, screen protector and a squeegee. This is my new favorite squeegee.
Samsung Galaxy S III Screen Protector Features:
• Toughest clear protective film in the market
• Clear protection that is virtually invisible
• Preserves your Samsung Galaxy S III's original design
• Protects your Samsung Galaxy S III from scratches, dents, and physical wear-and-tear
• Patented layer of UV protection for anti-yellowing
• Provides protection without affecting the functions of your Samsung Galaxy S III
• Non-sticky or restrictive outer surface
We're always on the hunt for the perfect screen protector. I must say Skinomi is ranked at the top of my list. It's not as soft as other wet applications. Minimal orange peel unlike the more expensive screen protectors. I feel more comfortable handing my phone to a child.
It covers most of the screen and has the proper cut outs for the sensors and camera. The home button is cut out and not just cut straight down.
The battery cover protectors were also a nice touch. I was glad to discover Skinomi uses high quality 3M products. Not a knock off brand like other competitors use to save some money. I haven't put one on yet due to my OCD. I just want to take my time. One of these will be up for the next giveaway!
MSRP of the Skinomi TechSkin is $11.95 and can be purchased for $9.95 from Amazon. The Skin Protectors come in 7 different styles. MSRP: $19.95 on the Skinomi Website. They can be found on Amazon for $18.94 shipped.
Customer Service response time was excellent and above average.

I purchased a skinomi front screen protector for my s3, and although application was really easy and its all aligned fine
Whenever a mark is made on the screen protector (Lightly press your fingernail into it) the mark stays, might just be because i only put it on 24 hours ago, so i will leave it a few days and see.

I ordered one back when they were $1 on Amazon and used it for about a month and a half. The marks stay for a long time. I made one diagonally about a week after I got it, and it was still there a month later when I changed to the curved crystal protector. I couldn't stand the divots and lines left behind from my fingernails.

So your concern was not being able to put it on correctly and refusing to cut your nails? Lol.
Joking.

I bought 2 when they recently had the $5.99 promotion. They fit great under my Otterbox Commuter, but the marks and depressions left behind on the screen is annoying.
I had an extreme guard on my other s3 and I felt it held up better than the skinomi, although it didn't offer FULL screen protection

I switched over from the Xtreme Guards. They are much more gummier than the Skinomi. The Skinomi has a harder surface than the Xtreme Guards.

Don't all wet protection screen guards do that? So far every review for a wet application one I read has people complaining about the indents. I would try one of these out myself but with the Glas coming out this week, no point in doing it

What glass screen protector and where to buy?

Hey guys I wanted a just like glass screen protector and amzer and SGP ones are out if stock only one I could find is siedio but seems expensive. Any ideas where or which to get? Thanks

I would spend the money on the spigen glas.t but according to this forum it has been discontinued:

I didn't read the full thing, i just googled it. But i will say this, I dropped my iPad 3 face down(glass down) on concrete and it protected it. It fell about 4 feet and came out without any damage whatsoever.

I swear by ZAGG. If you watch the demo video then it should sell you too. Yes its a little more expensive than the 3 dollar scotch tape cover you can get at the grocery store, but you spent a lot of money on the phone with its sharp screen, I figure its worth it. I had the ZAGG cover on my Thunderbolt and it worked great. I liked it so much I have one on my GS3.

DBA Cases sells a screen protector called "Just Like Glass". I just bought one for me and my mom. I must say the feel is great, almost "like glass" and the screen doesn't diminish in quality one bit. It is a wet application. The sides on mine don't want to stick down all the way. The instructions said this would happen and after a few days it will stick. I've only had it applied a couple days so I'm still crossing my fingers. They are only $13.50. I would definitely recommend one. http://www.dbacases.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-screen-protectors.aspx

I highly suggest glasszone. No proximity problems, no response problems. 9H hardness, I've dropped it twice from waist height on concrete floor and it's not scratched, though I'm not 100% if the initial impact was with ground. The only thing I have against it is the (barely) visible layer of glitter on the edges, or what the manufacturer calls "pearl effect". I barely notice it, and it's only really visible under a few instances. You can find it on ebay

iMuse glass protector could be a good solution:

Do all the tempered glass protectors make the screen look odd, or are some better and more "HD" than others? I read the thread about the xgear one and it sounds like it distorts the screen.

Yes it definitely disturbs. That's why the sticker type protector is somehow a better choice, but if you have a sturdy case protector to begin with you don't need a screen protector, that gorilla glass will serve it purposes.

I ordered mine from Bestskinsever. Quality is like Zagg Invisible Shield for about 1/4 of the price.

I don't like the Zagg ones, its very clear when you're using them that you have a screen protector on. I have the DBA Just Like Glass mentioned above. I like it for the most part. The screen protector has gotten very scratched up but the screen is safe and sound. Worst bit about it is that the edges dont look properly adhered. They havent peeled up for me but they look like they arent stuck on as well as the rest of the protector

I just ordered my spigen ultra nano clear will report back

SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Premium Glass Screen Protector White
Glass looks and feels great.
HOWEVER
Must be used with a raised home button and case on the edges.
Sensitivity was severely compromised.
You wouldn't notice on regular use, but as soon as you got typing. I became very frustrated. Ruined texting all together.
Even swype was some garbage.
40$ well wasted.

I've been using a Qmadix tempered tech armor and it does need a raised sticker and only comes with three. It works great though and I haven't lost any use. I bought mine in white from a sprint store and my only complaint is the dust that gets stuck on the glue like edges underneath. I can post pictures of the box and the glass screen protector if requested my camera just isn't connecting on the cm10.1 nightlie I have haha

Compatibility: Specifically designed for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Generation/2013
Designed specifically for a fast, easy, 100% bubble-free application and made of the ultimate, high-quality invisible film
Protect screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear
Attaches quickly and smoothly with self-adhering surface, leaves no residue when removed
Includes: 1xBye-Bye Bubble Ultimate Screen Protectors, Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, Squeeze card
Being the cheapskate I am, I was using a 1st gen Nexus 7 screen protector cut to fit the new Nexus 7. It's safe to say the amFILM screen protector was a step up.
First it's worth mentioning the screen protector was in a good stiff cardboard holder. Protects it from bends during shipping. It's good to see this as a lot of cheaper screen protectors are just sent in an envelope from ebay.
It comes with quite a bit of nice accessories. The microfiber is good in size and quality. It's better than the small cheap ones thats usually included. It also comes with a squeegee and lint remover/hinge stickers. The lint remover/hinge stickers are meant for any dust you can see on the screen before applying or used as a hinge for applying the film.
Also for the noobies to applying screen protectors, it has step by step directions for best results. The have instructions for 2 methods. Hinge method (what the stickers are for) and regular method.
There is a single cutout for the light sensor and camera. It's a perfect fit on the screen, good feel, no loss in touch sensitivity of the tablet, no rainbow effects and not to sticky when swiping your finger across it. Super Clear and can barely tell there is a protector on it.
Overall I'm very happy with it. Great customer service and lifetime warranty! Whats not to like?

Looks good, thanks for sharing

This protector is fairly large so there isn't a huge margi. Of error when applying. However they have a 30 day money back guarantee and are willing to send you more protectors if you have trouble.

I bought a tech armor sp (as a spur of the moment sort of thing) when it comes in I'll write up a review
Sent from my SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the review. I've had the amfilm SP on for about a week and I seem to be experiencing a bit of touch response interference. It seems to get worse when there are a lot of smudges on the screen. Luckily that only happens... All the time because the trade off with this SPs great clarify is its penchant for fingerprints.
Anyone else having touch response problems? I'm close to removing the sp altogether to see if the responsiveness returns or if there's a deeper delay issue with hardware. My guess is the SP is at fault.
That said, it installed easy, has great clarity, and was at a great price point. Hard to beat 2 for $7... amazon prime helps, too.

Yup, awesome products at a GREAT price!! I used nothing but Ghost Armor for years. After trying TechMatte though, that's all I'm buying from here on out. I've got their screen protectors on my N7 FHD and Note 3. I also use their Qi Receiver in my Note 3, as well as their car mount. All excellent products!

I personally don't use screen protector but from the consensus, a lot of people prefer using orzly tempered. Spigen, otterbox does not offer protectors for the opo.

In the past I've gone for Spigen. Although a little pricier, I like to think I'm paying for the packaging, quality assurance, and simply the quality of the product itself. I tend to be pretty prone to cracking my screens so I go for the glass ones which actually have protected my screen 3+ times since I've started buying them. I say it's cheaper and easier than replacing a whole screen itself and it doesn't really affect usability. I also like how on the Spigen, the sides aren't sharp and moreso curved or whatever.
Only thing is I have heard people complain about it chipping on the side but I'm pretty rough with my phone and I have yet to have that happen for myself. Only cracks due to....being dropped and etc.

I’ve used Orzly and saved my phone. It’s a very good product

I just ordered a Nilkin one from Amazon.. Will update.

Have bought and used two Nillkins, nothing but good things to say

Nillkin Tempered 9h FTW. They're cheap. They're awesome.
Transmitted via Bacon

Only used Orzly on this and my moto g. Did replace the moto g after about 6 months as it got a light crack and scratches but otherwise if applied properly it's hard to notice it's on there.
Also I find it smoother than the original screen so it's better for swiping, has anyone else noticed that?

I saw one Orzly review on youtube and noticed a scratch, so I ordered the Ultimate Shield. These two are my favs, but that scratch made me switch to Ultimate Shield.

I also use the Ultimate sheild, really easy to fit and a great fit as well, still looking perfect a month later.

Spartan shield from XtremeGuardz,works perfectly

I'm using UltimateShield for my OPO. its barely to notice and it feels even better than the original screen.

Nillkin Tempered +1 The best and cheaper.

I have a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector and I love it. It's one of the cheapest also (I bought it for $10, it's $7 now I think), less than half than Orzly's. The "consensus" that Orzly protectors are superior stem from one guy on Reddit who said it was the best one out there and that got repeated a bunch of times until it was accepted as fact. I don't think many people have actually compared several brands.
