Zagg Invisible Shield....my experience :(

I received my full body protection from Zagg and to be honest I am not 100% satisfied. First off, on a side issue, I ordered the "full body maximum" protection from a seller on eBay and only received the "full body" despite paying the extra for it. That however is something I shall take up with the seller.
Upon beginning the installation and attempting to peel off the thin plastic, it became apparent that it was stuck to the paper it came on and resembled that of what sellotape looks like once stripped from paper it was applied to. See attached picture and you can see the state that the paper is in. I have fitted Bodyguardz products to both my previous HTC Desire HD and HD2 with no such problems.
I was not happy and almost stopped there ready to box it all back up and return. Instead, I tried my best and and despite it being very fiddly I managed to peel it away from the paper it was stuck to and decided to proceed with the installation. The front and back went on fine. Then came the top bit (or whatever bit its supposed to be). I am a little confused as to why Zagg would include 3 parts in their "full body" and then include one extra bit in their "Maximum". Either that or I did receive that "maximum" and its only supposed to have 3 parts but I would of presumed it would of been front and back in one type and then front, back, top, bottom and sides in the "maximum" protection pack?
The annoyance as you can see in the picture attached, is that this random extra bit is cut so poorly that it neither fits at the top or the bottom. At the bottom, it would directly be blocking the USB socket. At the top, it isn't cut in a way that would avoid blocking the headphone socket.
So.....whilst the front/back pieces dry up on my SGS2 overnight tonight (Ihaven't bothered with that extra bit), I shall be contacting both the eBay seller about receiving the wrong product and Zagg about my disappoint with the products cut. Any suggestions on what I should do? Am I best contacting my supplier alone, will I have to return the protection Ive got for a refund, or am I best going straight to Zagg in which case would they request I send the invisibleshield back?
Whether you want to buy one for yourself, I'll let you decide that!

in your second picture that part goes on the bottom of the phone and that cut out is for the speakers !!!
i have the same kit and the bottom part should not extend to the USB port.

Zagg sucks real bad! Used to have 2 of them on my Galaxy S and I spent almost 5 hours installing the second one. the end result was awesome. You couldn't tell it was there.
But then after 3 weeks, it started to peel off near my home button... And then I always had to be careful while I wanted to get the phone out of my pocket!
I ain't going anywhere near that $hit on my Galaxy S II.

Do'h!!!
Well I feel a tad stupid.....oh well, a slight oversight on my part it seems!!
I shall put this down to experience.....

omg
Are you sure the product is genuine?
I ordered a screen protector last week from the site of ZAGG
and is also a maximum package.
The package had not arrived yet
Do you recommend me not open the box and sell it? or maybe install only the front screen protcetor?

I'd think it'd be safe if it came from the original Zagg site. After overcoming my daft moment, I installed the final piece and relatively happy with it. The back has a section of bubbles which haven't gone yet, they should hopefully disappear. Annoyingly there is a tiny 'bit' underneath the protector on the front of the screen producing a black dot. Heres hoping that goes too!

I ordered a maximum coverage from Zagg.com and thats not what it looked like.... close, but a little off... And your opening remark states you got it from ebay...

Really? What did yours look like, as in what differences from what you can tell? The one I received was a dam good fake if it was, has Zagg printed on the bottom right of the front protector, came with instructions etc I believe it to be authentic.

I used to use the IS for my blackberries. But ever since I got my iphone and other smart phones I haven't touched IS. I don't know. I don't like them anymore. It takes too long (12-24 hours to dry) and I can't be that long without my phone, and then within a few days the corners begin to peel and then I have to pay shipping to get new parts then the 12-24 hours begin again. Get a nice case That's that! It won't make it as thin, but it will protect it more, and there's no peeling or waiting or anything

That is why you never buy Zagg, they are probably the worse out of all the skin protectors that are used for NASA and luxurious cars, I believe its called thermo something . The best ones are Skinomi's TechSkin and Ghost Armor.Although, I prefer Skinomi, due to their less orangepeel effect and they cost about half the price of Ghost Armor. NEVER BUY ZAGG they have the worst Orange peel effect and are overpriced!!!

Thanks for the advice. How do you find the coverage on the Skinomi, which areas are protected e.g. top, sides and bottom?

I have friends that tried Zagg products before and the results were devastating.
I don't recommend them at all and I don't recommend any product at all, that it's application involves solutions of any kind...
The reasons should be obvious to everyone...

Here are pics of my phone with the maximum protection on it. I like it because I can toss the phone around and still keep it in my PDAir belt case. It's the first time I used Zagg's (I've used others) and it went on more easily than most. To the poster who seemed concerned, the solution they include is lubricant, not caustic acid.

Just go to the website, google it, since rules say you can't post outside direct links. They offer the full body skin front, back, and sides $19.95. Also, just the screen $11.95. They carry the Carbon Fiber skin in 2 colors black and silver as well, it comes with the screen protector $24.95. Also a wood full skin also $24.95. They are probably one of the cheapest and best out there.
Sorry for the late reply btw. I just bought the silver Carbon Fiber Skin today. The Screen Protector is great.
They ship internationally too.

One question only my friend:
For how long are you using zagg ultimate protection???
* Of course I know that the solution is lubricant, I am not as stupid as you think...
Only zagg recommends lubricant for the application of the ''shield''...

About a month. The lubricant made it way easy to put on because you can slide the pieces in to place once they're on the phone. When it dries there are no finger prints and no bubbles as you can see in the pics. Their covering is a bit grabbier than others I've used but I buff it with some ArmorAll occasionally to keep it slippery. I'm not a Zagg's fan - it's the first time I've used their products. The big benefit to me is that the phone looks naked and I can slide it in and out of my belt case and use the Samsung accessories without the protector coming off.

Last time I used a Zagg "shield" was on my old N97 (...) It looked great for a while ( a few months actually) but then the glue started to come loose and the shield started peeling off slowly plus due to it coming loose the edges started to look really scruffy and dust kept piling under it.
So I guess what I am trying to say is, it'll work well for a while but you will need to replace it sooner than if you were using other products already mentioned on this thread (Skinomi), but then again this is my experience, you may be luckier.

That is why you have the lifetime warranty... Also, I have heard Best Skins Ever also may be an alternative. Also, I only recommend Skinomi if you take good care of your device as if you push down on the Skinomi screen protector the mark WILL NOT DISSAPEAR. So use only if you take care of your device i.e. Having a pouch for it, careful installation, and only finger not fingernail use.
A really good solution would be Ghost Armor, but they don't have the S2 available yet as they are located in America and not much demand I guess, sent them an email and they haven't replied for about a week.

I bought the full body armor as well and was a bit dissapointed too. The fit is good and I manage to install it within reasonable effort. But as expected, the bit for the battery cover won't stick properly due to the texture of the cover. I was expecting some kind of hard plastic protection, but instead, the cover feels soft and you can mark it easily with finger print. I didn't even bother installing the screen protection. Won't buy it again.

Yup that's correct, but even with the warranty I feel it's too much faffing about, but others may be OK with it.
And yes you do need to take care of your device, but then again these phones are so expensive you would be a fool not to .
Like I said tho, people have different experiences & taste, in my experience clear shields, clear cases, clear desktop towers (yup .. I had one of them 100% clear lol...) etc. always get manky in the end, this time I went with a Zenus leather case thingy, lets see how this works out.
But yes, indeed you are quite right

Tempered Armor Glass Screen Protector

Tempered Armor just launched their Galaxy S3 tempered glass screen protector December 2nd. Saw a review video for their Note 3 protector and absolutely loved it (Link if curious: http://youtu.be/Qzhst5jrBtI). I picked it up the same day it released.
It came in two days ago and of course I install it immediately. At first, I thought great, the adhesive is doing it's thing. Then, once I took the blue plastic cover off, the disappointment set it. At a nearly uniform distance completely around the protector, the adhesive doesn't stick. I had used their packaged microfiber and their packaged isopropyl wipes for the install. Thought cool, maybe it will take a few days. And fast forward to today, it still looks the same.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I love how it feels; I've always hated those crappy plastic protectors.
I reached out to Tempered Armor via Twitter and got no help other than them claiming it was user error and/ or the alignment is off. I sent them a Dropbox link with pictures of the alignment and they came back with the protector won't work if it is "off a hair".
Here's our Twitter conversation: https://twitter.com/temperedarmor/status/413801200866574336
Here's the Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i6wur2j57ql99c7/qyw6TAEb_y
So if you are thinking about ordering one, make sure you have a micron microscope to get it aligned correctly.

Meh,
I have had similar problems with SProtectors. I do believe that the glass on most S3's have a slight curve at the outer edge.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Whenever I press down on the outside edge, it feels like the glass protector doesn't even try to stick. I feel like the adhesive wasn't properly applied to the protector before shipping.
What really got me was when customer support mentioned if it was "off a hair" it wouldn't sit right. How are you going to sell a screen protector that has a fault tolerance in alignment of a width of a hair?

Typical lack of customer service or care. This why I try to support companies like, Anker, zero lemon, Amazon. They actually care about quality and their customers. As info,
We have 3 galaxy S3 in my home and all have a slight curve downward at the edges.

I love tempered glass screen protectors. But why spend that much money on that one. I got mine off Ebay and they look way better than the one posted in the OP. The one I have sticks all the way around.
here's an example of one... (not sure which seller I bought from. it's been a several weeks since I ordered.)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Rea...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item2c779dd20f

I knew of the owner of the company from my days as an iPhone modder. Thought he would be a bit more "in touch" with the community and more helpful than "nope, you broke it. lalalalala can't hear you".

The one I have is .3, so just a bit thinner. on all of the cases I have used, it doesn't interfere with the case. I have used it with the Otterbox Commuter case and it looks fine. Right now, I'm using it with a rubber/plastic case that I found at Walgreen's of all places. There is usually a small gap between the edge of the screen protector and the case. I'll see if I can get a picture up
EDIT
Here's mine with a case and the glass screen on it (sorry pic quality is bad, taken with an Ipad, of course)

Thanks for pic..i will definitely look for a glass thinner than 0.4..

Whenever i put a screen protector on my s3 the touch screen glitches, key presses al over the screen like whenever i press the app drawer it opens my notification bar, whenever i type something it scrolls up,so does that have anything to do with the quality of the screen protector?

Looking for a TGSP that is flat, does not cover the edge. Know of any?

As the title says i'm looking for a flat TGSP. I've found that even though i miss maybe +/- 10% of the total glass being covered it's still better than nothing. I haven't found a curved TGSP for my s6 or s7 edge that i liked, and i've tried hundreds of dollars worth.. There is always some sort of issue with the full screen protectors. Whether it's Halo, poor touch, case incompatibility, poor adhesive, crap oleophobic coating, etc.
I put a flat protector on my s7 edge and loved it. For me, scratching the screen while in my pocket seems to be my biggest issue. With a flat TGSP that issue is gone. I'm using the Verizon curved TGSP on my s8+ now but i hate it. The fit is better than most, but i get a mirror effect, especially while outside, it's very hard to read the display. The oleophobic coating is horrible or non existent. Fingerprints show up like i'm at a crime scene. If anyone has ran across a flat protector that does not cover the edge please post a link or brand. Thanks so much!!

I have asked this same question several times in other Tempered glass screen protector threads. My posts get completely ignored. Bottom line is that curved protectors DO NOT WORK on these phones. They are terrible. Literally hundreds and hundreds of posts of people trying out different brands, etc, and they all suck. The only thing that works is a tempered screen protector that covers only the FLAT part of the display. I had one on my Note 7 and it worked great, I had one on my S7E and it worked great. I can't seem to find one for the S8+ yet which is why I have been asking in several threads if anyone has found a place to buy a flat area only tempered screen protector. So hopefully someone has and chimes in on this thread!!

I'd much rather have a great quality flat glass than a POS curved one any day.If i find one i'll certainly post it. Please do the same if you find one. I guess i could take some measurements and see what i can find from other devices...although the strange length of this screen I probably wouldn't have much luck.

I ordered the flat one listed on ebay. Honestly, it doesn't look like it'll be very good - square corners, just looks subpar, BUT I bet it will at least stay on the display properly. I bought two of them, they are shipped from Canada and with shipping the 2 came out to be $12 total. I will report back when I have one on. I am sure there will be more/better options for a flat only area tempered screen protector as time goes on. For now hopefully this does the job well enough.

It seems xtremeguard.com sells it flat only and full protection as well.
They do have specials

This should cost with the 93% off coupon around $6 for 2.

Ahh, OK. Thanks. You should install anyways since you have it. Flat tempered are the only kind of tempered that work on the curved edge displays. Unless you are planning on sending it back.

Have you guys taken a look at this thread yet? https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...maybe-glass-screen-protector-looking-t3596178
Uses a UV cured adhesive for full curve screen. I've never seen any protector like it before. Have one on order as well to try it out.

On their twitter they announced they'd be releasing them some time in November - https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1054799639529095168
Hopefully earlier rather than later, the one I'm using now doesn't cover my full display area and it's a tad annoying.

Ahh gotcha. Was curious if you had the Zagg "Made for Google" one. I was thinking of getting the Zagg until Whitestone but that's a lot to spend on thin pieces of glass.

I'm a huge fan of Whitestone, especially after my experience with it in my 2XL. With that said, I got the Verizon branded screen protector to use in the meantime and I am so impressed I can't see a reason anymore to get the Whitestone. Only cost me $19 too.

How's the screen coverage? Any ghosting/lifting around the edges?
Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk

It's 100% edge to edge of the viewable display and since it has adhesive all over, there is no ghosting or rainbow effects. I had one of the corners initially not 100% attached (lower right), but one day after having it in the bathroom with a hot shower, the steam must have fixed it and now it's 100% flawless.
My advice is to align it first with masking tape while the screen is lit, then just keep masking tape on one side to flip it onto the screen once it's been cleaned.

Subscribing to this thread :highfive:

my verizon glass didnt do very well, wouldnt seal on the bottom left corner. it was installed by the verizon tech. they said it would go away, never did. i will probably order this glass when it comes available. i like the process, and how it really centers on the screen. this glass with my MNML case.. should be perfect.

Oh yeah the way the glue spreads when you place the White Stone Glass Screen Protector is amazing. I had it on my S9 and I will never go back to anything else. I have the Verizon one on my Pixel 3 right now and yeah there is one little tiny corner that never sticks but it so tiny I can barely see it unless I am in the right light. It works for now until White Stone gets one out for us.

When installing these screen protectors it really helps to do it in the bathroom with a hot shower running. The humidity keeps the dust down. Youll probably be sweaty when your all done putting it on but its worth it.

Zag Screen Protectors

Just a heads up for those wanting glass screen protectors, Zag is selling them now (unlike Google Store at time of writing) and not sure why but got a big discount. 2 of the Glass Elite VisionGuard+for*Google Pixel 5 for $75 after tax and shipping. They gave me a 30% off discount.
Probably get them cheaper later, but last time we got phones on release date (Pixel 2) we didn't get screen protectors until a week after the phones showed up. So this time we got cases and screen protectors right away.

Bro liquid glass is the way to go. I have been through a ton of glass screen protectors on the 2 XL and they all suck, even the expensive ones. I got liquid glass and never looked back. P5 might be different because the screen is flat, but I'm getting liquid glass anyway. You can always do liquid and throw a glass screen on top of it.

I had mine applied at Fixit Mobile, and I believe they use WowFixit. From what I have read, the products all use Silicon Dioxide as the main ingredient. I don't know that much about the product, except that it works well, it's not noticeable, and does resist fingerprints somewhat. It's not perfect for fingerprints, but I haven't got any scratches in about a year. I have heard that you should reapply after a year, so I probably need to reapply. I will do some research and make a post at some point. I plan to do liquid glass on my P5, so I should post something in the next 2-3 weeks. This is something I looked at recently.

Sounds a lot like the "ceramic coating" that is promoted for use on car paint all the time now. I'd be willing to bet it's the same thing.

The cheap "9H ceramic coating" or spray on SiO2 coatings anyway, not the year-long lasting professional ones.

I just installed the Zagg Invisible Shield Glass Elite + on my Pixel 5 and sadly, it's peeling at the upper right corner. A bit disappointed.

If I'm being honest I've been less than satisfied with their product on my Pixel 2XL. I went through 3 or 4 via their warranty process and just gave up and went naked with a bumper case. Much happier, with minimal scratching after owning since release (preordered).
I'll always use a case because I abuse things but I am finding more and more that screen protectors aren't a necessity, even for someone who throws phones in backpacks etc when out on a trail.

Ordered one and it didn't sit down all the way. It wouldn't stay down on the lower right corner, despite no dust or anything. Ended up disappointed and moved on.

So this is definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of deal. I purchased two of the zagg protectors, along with a pack of Spigen and Otomon tgsps. So I was prepared.
Anyhow, I did the shower trick installation to keep dust from floating around. First Zagg I used would not apply around the camera lens no matter what. Tried the second Zagg that I ordered and although there were bubbles initially, they went away after 20 mins or so. Perfect installation.
Long story short, you shouldn't have to buy two of a certain tgsp like I did in the event that one is defective, but doing so worked out in my case. Your first application may work correctly or it may not.
Edit:. Also the fitment is perfect. There is no rainbowing on the sides due to being cut short. Could the tgsp have been a little wider? Maybe, but would risk it lifting on one of the sides.
