WORKING SKINOMI LINK -- and it's $.99 + $2.95 shipping, but still not bad, and it beats the $16 + $2.95 for the others with the back skin if you don't need it.
Just ordered one as well, since I'll have my phone before SGP has their new SGP Ultra Nano in stock and shipped

Thanks.. Just picked one up. Even with the $2.95 shipping... its a bargain!

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I failed at copy/paste
OP is updated

Thanks op for this deal. Was about to order one from the regular site but you saved me around 6 or 7 bucks.

I wonder if they're blowing it out because of the curved screen and they fubar'd their first attempt at making a screen protector.

Me too, they did the 99 cent thing for the HTC One X early on and people gobbled them up. Overwhelming majority of reviews were negative and some concluded that the batch was defective which explained the price slash.

Interesting. Well I guess there's 3-4 of us who will know for sure. I'd be happy to come back in here and let yall know if it's a screw up when mine comes in the mail.

I have this screen protector in my s3 and it sticks pretty well to the screen. My only complain is the orange peel effect

I ordered one of these. Hopefully the orange peel isn't too bad. I currently have the realook one installed but when I put my cruzerlite case on the edges start to come up.

I've always wondered if these types of protectors provide more protection than the hard/dry protectors

Seems like you guys maybe right. I just got mine in today and the film was kind of stuck to the plastic bag it was in which resulted in some weird bubble imprints on the top of the screen protector. I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow. I'm letting it sit overnight to see if the weird markings on it come out.

I just applied mine last night and after a nights dry, it seems a bit on the tacky side. Its not as smooth as I would like, kinda hard to swipe. But I will give this a day or 2 more to fully dry and judge from there.

They don't provide more or less, they seem to be on par.
The real differences are how long they last. Skimomi type repair themselves, can take hits that would usually damage the dry hard type, doesn't usually peel off if applied correctly. That's why most have a lifetime warranty. And the reason they come singular or in a two pack (mostly if you mess up installation, you have that spare), but not 3-5 packs, because you're gonna have to put another one on in a few weeks...
This has been my experience..

Immediately after install any white on the screen looks very pixelated with a rainbow of colors, anyone else get this? Does it go away? Please tell me it goes away, if not i am going to rip it off right now.

Xtreme Guard is basically a ZAGG Invisible Shield clone. They just don't do the fancy packaging, spray bottle and squeegee. They don't have the over head and costs as ZAGG. They also don't have a lifetime warranty. But for the price, you can purchase 6 - 10 screen protectors for the same price of the ZAGG. You'll go through 2-3 tops and it's a annoying process to get a replacement. They request CC info and all, then expect you to send back the original.
I worked at Best Buy and had them on my phones since the LG Dare days.
Just save the money and get the Xtreme Guard. It offers the same protection.

So he refunded me right away with zero hassle or any trouble.

Without a doubt, Skinomi. One of my favorite companies to deal with as well. Stellar products.

I've used the Flex HD but the orange peel effect is kind of annoying. The adhesive used, as it dries up, turns into a rainbow colored crystal blotches and it just ruins the clarity of the stock screen. They are not readily visible but tilting your phone at certain angles will make them show up. I also used the Zagg Invisible Shield but the adhesive did not work well for me after I put on the Cruzerlite case. The case,due to its tight fit, lifted all the corners of the Zagg off the phone:crying: so now its removed. For $20 from BB, you only get one film. I am waiting for the Steinheil Nano right now. I believe this a dry application and is cut smaller than the screen.

Skinomi Techskin. I've used about 6 of them and I've loved every one. When you put it on it feels like nothing is there at all. It repairs itself too. Plus they have lifetime warranties on them, so you can order a replacement super cheap instead of buying a whole new one.

[REVIEW] Benks AKR glass screen protector from DX

So I thought I'd show you guys the new screen protector I bought from DX.com for the princely sum of $9.30
I've looked at buying a glas't and been put off by the price but this little beaut is less than $10!
I'm not going to post an in depth review, just lots of nice high res photos
Suffice to say I'm delighted with the result and inside my Poetic Atmosphere this is the prefect combination of slim protector with no compromise in clarity and finish on the screen.
The product packaging and presentation is professional albeit the translations are somewhat dubious :good:
All in my picasa web album at full res.

I haven't tried any other glass protectors but been through my fair share of ordinary ones, both expensive and 99p ones. I have to say the clarity is superb and I can live with the extra thickness.
For £5 you really cant go wrong, I've ordered a second as a spare

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.

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'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.

Tempered glass S/P in the UK?

Can anyone recommend a decent priced glass screen protector in the uk? Ideally I'd like to cover the whole screen with cut outs for the grill rather than a big chunk missing at the top, but not a must

So far pretty impressed with this screen protector. For the price can't wrong and feels quite nice to slide about on.

I don't understand people paying more than a couple of quid for a glass screen protector. I bought the cheapest one off eBay, does the job fine! Im expecting it to crack if i drop my phone... As that is it's job, im not sure what added bonus you get by paying for a more expensive one!
