D3O case + Realook screen protector No Bubble workaround

Guys,
As you know Realook makes the best screen protectors for Galaxy series phones. I had one for Vibrant and it was the best. The trend continues for our SGS II. So I had the same problem as everyone where the D3O case was causing bubbles on the Realook screen protector. After a long session of meditation I came up with a "ghetto" workaround which works...
So this is what you do... You cut pieces of thin cardboard (I used junkmail macy's coupon) and TAPE them to top two corners of your SGS II. Then you slide the phone carefully in D3O case. If you used a certified Macy's coupon cardboard piece or equivalent, you will NOT get any bubbles anymore since this creates the additional clearance so the D3O case edges do not touch the screen protector.
I have Mine this way and it looks PERFECT!! This method can be used with ANY case and ANY protector actually. The bad thing is you can not use this method with clear cases or the cardboards will show up through the transperant materials. Also, if your phone freezes a lot and you want to take out battery often, its not efficient.
Anyways, however unorthodox this method is, the end result is success and "satisfaction" that your phone is fully protected. Oh and don't forget to add a piece of cardboard by power button to make pressing power button as if you are using a touchpad.

thanks for the info, will definitely try that out when my $1.49 SP arrives, if it would cause any bubbles that is.

Good idea!

I could but its not that pretty
Its just the cardboard piece cut slightly smaller than the width of shiny bezel and taped to the top two bezel corners.

It won't be pretty but it will give us an idea of how its supposed to look. I would appreciate it as I do not wish to mutilate my Skinomi.

D3O cases
I bought a D3O case and a Zagg Screen protector. The case was causing the edge on one corner to lift a little. I considered trimming the edge back a little with an x-acto knife but i actually found if you stretch the inside lip of the offending corner it stopped doing it. Just grab the inside edge and roll it out, it starts off really stiff then loosens up. Now I don't have any issues.

Would a Dominos coupon work or does it have to be Macys? Dominos has a better discount so it might work better.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EQZ2LE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
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
via Galaxy S III

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.

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.

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] 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

I can vouch for realook. I still have mine on my original galaxy s for 2 years and it still doesn't have a scratch. They do last a long time. They are also very clear. I will definitely be ordering this.

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.

Thanks for the review.
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.

do you think this will work with the diztronic tpu?

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.
Sent from my SPH-L710

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.

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

• 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.

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

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.

Yes the Spigen is discontinued but Seidio has its Vitreo which I feel is a little better that Spigens Glas... I have had both and like the Vitreo better just slightly and also comes in black and white

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

Do NOT buy*
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

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 don't trust Gorilla glass at all, seen so many phones scratched that have it and it does nothing for impacts.
