Video Review: SGP Ultra Crystal Dual Screenshield

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new SGP Ultra Crystal dual series (and the regular steinheil models). With a device like the Nexus 4, which features front and rear glass - you'll really want to invest in front/rear screen shields to keep your device scratch-free. I noticed a few hairlines on my Nexus 4 shortly after purchase so I was very happy when I got the dual series in. Installation was super easy and they fit perfectly. The rear is covered 100% (except for the cutouts), while the front does have exposed areas, mainly on the sides. Being ultra crystal protectors, they offer great clarity and color visuals.
Check out the full review below for more info;

whoops! posted from my brother's account hehe. enjoy the video everyone!

I've been waiting for this! Thanks

A bit off topic but the Galaxy Nexus commercial came on before the vid... hahaha...
Good vid, liked how the protector would be great for cases but I wouldn't like if i wanted to keep the phone naked. I might actually get one to use w/ my Diztronic case. Thanks for sharing!

No worries, happy to help

I'm thinking of ordering these. Could you guys please tell me if this screen protector looks anything like in the pic below after installation? The one below is way too small.

They're like 95% the same. The spigen doesn't cover the two sensors on the left side.

UAG Aero Case, Dualtek Case, DRY Invisible Shield Review

So i went and bought a couple of cases after destroying my first GS4, i had the Incipio Dual Pro on my phone from sprint http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/accessory/ao_details.jsp?accSKU=74100061&accCatId=acc9003cat
& it didn't do nothing, basically my 7 month old daughter got a hold of my phone, tried to eat it and then chuck it at the wall.
My LCD had a fine crack and then it started to bleed, i was using a body glove(http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/accessory/ao_details.jsp?accSKU=74100052&accCatId=acc9003cat) at the time i dropped it off getting out of my car and that took the screen out.
long story short, i found myself a screen for really cheap and replaced it and went and bought a couple of new cases, i figure i review them and maybe find a new cool case i haven't come across.
So here is my GS4 i put Invisibleshield Extreme on my phone, not really happy with it since i thought it would be Anti-Glare and Fingerprint resistant, its not, i got the screen protector for free so i can't really complain, but i am going to anyways!

Bought myself a UAG AERO(i had UAG on my note 2, but was looking to try new things & it didn't work out too well)
so far my favorite case for everyday use out of everything, its really light, grip is good and really protects from everyday drop and use.
Also went and bought a Dualtek, use this case anytime im working in shop, outside or when running, this case is great, i threw it down couple of stairs by mistake and phone had no damage, my only issue is that it make the phone feel heavy and big compared to UAG AERO.
see pics and let me know what you think!

First of all, nice review and nice picture.
I have few concerns and question about DualTek case, how do you feel about the button - are they easy to push? and how is the side bumper - does they collect lint/dust easily?
Thanks for taking time to look and reply.

I read the dualtek will eventually leave marks on the GS4's backcover from the rubber lining on the inside.
Is that Zagg protector a dry or wet install? The ones I know of are wet installs.

Great deal on good tempered glass, USD 8.99 for 3, 6.99 for 2

If you are in the US and especially if you have Amazon Prime (or get $25 order for free shipping):
XOXO Mobile® Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S4, $8.99 for 3 pack on Amazon
XOXO Mobile® Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S4, $6.99 for 2 pack on Amazon
I just installed one. It's 0.3mm, and comes with 3 complete installation sets which I think is a great icing on top! I only used 2 of the provided guide stickers. The tear-drop dust-grabber is a nice touch. I usually do this with painter's/masking tape, but it's great that Xoxo includes everything for the installation. It doesn't come with any button sticker but, really, it's not needed.
Compared to the one on my other S4, the 0.18mm HERO Glass ($16.99 for only 1, or 5.4x the price of Xoxo), I can't tell any difference, except the Xoxo is a bit more open on top next to the camera and sensors, where as the HERO has a tad more coverage on the top left and right corners (without covering the camera and sensors). I don't think HERO's extra coverage makes that much of a difference.
Here it is after the 5-minute installation, with perfect result:

Says invalid link.

link broken?
link invalid for me also.

Here's a 2 pack for $2 less, if you don't need 3.
http://www.amazon.com/LIFETIME-WARRANTY-XOXO-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00ONCWVEE

I ordered the 2 pack on Friday and got it the next day with my prime account.
I've always wanted to try a glass screen protector and this was such a great price I couldn't pass.
Installation was beyond easy! If you've ever put on a soft screen protector you will be amazed and tell everyone how easy it was to install. After cleaning I dropped it on and tapped the middle of the screen and you watched it push all the air out on it's own.
The glass feels as smooth as the actual screen, edges are smooth and rounded, and now that the center button is recessed a little I don't accidentally press it when handling the phone.

Just bought a Tech Armor glass screen protector. Thing is amazing. I'll never go back to the plastic crap again. Such a breeze to install.

Tempered glass screen protector not fitting properly

Hey all,
I tried installing a tempered glass screen protector but it simply won't stick on one corner of the phone. If you try to fit it again and start sticking it from the other end, then the other side won't stick.
It is like the screen is not even.
Went to a local store today to fit another brand but they encountered the same problem.
Anyone faced this issue before? Maybe I'm not using a good enough brand? Kinda frustrating.
Thanks all

I'm using the Spartan tempered glass protector from extreme guard. Works great for me and it was super cheap.

Never had an issue with Spartan Tempered Glass.

As above. Just put mine on. It was only a few pounds from eBay and went on super easy. Much better than the film type protectors you get. Sorry you're having trouble with yours. Could very well be an issue with your screen.

Thanks guys,
I went to another store and just got a generic tempered glass one and it actually fitted great! Not sure what went wrong with the first two.

glad to hear it. At least you know now it was the protectors with the issue and not your phone enjoy!

I have been running with HTC One (M9) - Flexible Glass from PureGear and I have loved it. To put in on, you put it in the holder and just roll it on. Has not peeled at all, and is great quality. Went with this one because my store carried it and i wanted something to protect it as soon as i got it

i like the Glass-M screen protector. hight quality in glass and industrial design. http://glass4m.com/product/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-htc-m9

I bought a similar pouch a while back for my nexus 6p from the same seller on etsy. She has all sorts of choices on etsy. On etsy there is an option to ask for a little more room to accommodate a bulkier case. Shipped from overseas very quickly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one shortly after I posted this thread. I'm pretty happy with it. I really ****ing hate cases and screen protectors and all that stupid **** when I'm actually trying to use the device, so this is a good alternative to going completely naked.

I'm using a Shocksock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-XL-S...1481124207&sr=8-1&keywords=pixel+xl+shocksock. I specifically wanted one that would fit the XL while keeping the back cover. That way the screen is only exposed when I'm using it, but if I drop it the Spigen case (Rugged Armour) should still protect the phone. It was a tight fit at first but it's loosened off nicely and I'm delighted to have found it.

I've used these for several years. They seem to be a good quality pouch.
