Problem with a seller with that many feedback is, you can go months with purely negative feedback before it affects the % significantly.
The guy's a drop shipper. I actuallly bought a couple of Galaxy Portal cases and some SGS screen protectors from him last week. Had no problems with delivery on the stuff I ordered from him. I asked about the silicone SGS cases at the time and he told me he was currently out of stock - that's why I ended up buying the Zenus case.
ok, well ill order one up at £3.50 you cant really go wrong
If anyone prefers amazon,
heres a link to the item I bought mine from (it was despatched on Monday)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U6VTOC/ref=oss_product
I ordered one of those yesterday and received an email through to say it had been despatched, hopefully it'll arrive soon.
Just a quick follow up to this, it arrived after a couple of days and for the money the case is great. It fits well and isn't too thick and does it's job of making the phone a lot less slippy.
The screen protector shipped with it was a Terrapin one which is not bad although the edges didn't stick brilliantly.
One thing of note for a few phone calls people were complaining that I sounded muffled and finally I checked the mic and the hole for it in the case was cut but it hadn't gone all of the way through, no wonder people had trouble hearing me.
lol, yea my gfs turned up, i ordered mine the day after here and 3 extra days later it isnt here lol.
hers like you said was a really good fit, surprising for the money, all slots lined up and for £3 even the camera cutout has a small bevel
really good value for money, but if you want a decent screen protector dont buy this one because its included, imho its crap, well compared to my martin fields
The wife got one of these for her galaxy..she thinks its ok, however she is going to buy a jelly one as well as this one gets dusty and covered in little hairs (so she tells me!)
Also the screen protectors edges don't stick very very well.
She'll keep you posted on the jelly one (but its coming from hong kong..so it may be a while!)
as far as im aware its pretty much jelly anyway, i would think the real 'wobbly' ones lol would attract more lint etc

yea it looks great, and even better when you put them on the phone.
However, do you know if these i9000 case going to be compatible with samsung Vibrant
it's of the same phone design, no difference in the buttons cut outs
the only difference is in the front facing camera which some of the USA carriers are missing
those cases doesn't cover the front anyways, so it's not an issue

I'll be posting a written / recorded in-depth un-boxing & review of the BodyGuardz, ScreenGuardz Pure + The Crown for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the coming days.
Though I have my own set of guidelines for the review; I don't want to miss out on any details that you all may want to know.
What are the aspects do you all want me cover?

I am interested in seeing this. I have lately been getting annoyed of the rubbery/plasticky feel of my screen protector and have been thinking about getting my first glass based screen protector :good:
I am sure you will cover these things but I am interested in seeing how the protector lines up with the camera and speaker holes and also how close it gets to the edges so i know if it will work with my case.
Bring it on..............the Drop Test !
One thing I'm thinking about is that the anodized coating of the Crown will wear thin/off if you use the S pen while swiping to use the Side Key Panel enough times. I'm certain it's going to wear especially if the black S pen tip is used. Time will tell, but I'm going to wait a while to see what others experience. Shouldn't take too long.
Hello.................Where's the review? The Note 5 is one the way.
I installed my crown today and there's still a halo... Wasn't the point of this to hide it? The crown portion itself doesn't go over the glass, rather it sets around it so as to make the transition from the edge of the phone to the screen seamless.

I still have no halo on the new Crown screen protector. My only problem was that the Crown itself did not adhere properly, and I am awaiting a replacement that was just sent by BodyGuardz.

I think maybe we just expected too much from it. I don't think it ever claimed to be a glass screen protector that had no halo or one that hid the halo, but rather the only screen protector that has edge to edge protection which it does quite well.
Could someone post some pictures of it on the phone? I've been trying to find good pictures and haven't really found them for the Note. Would love to see the white

Poor adhesive on the crown maybe? Also, when cleaning the screen, that same area is often neglected. This is the second report of that same area not sticking.

I might not have cleaned the edges well enough, but my belief is that there is not enough adhesive on the Crown (especially with the stress of the phone going in and out of my pocket).
I have a replacement on the way.
I'll be trying my level best to post the written review (with pictures) in the next 24-48 hours. I'm betting that this is going to fit perfectly with the Commuter Series case.

I believe it is. All the reviews on the iPhone 6 which is basically the same glass are positive. I think the aluminum might look cool but I'm in the same boat. I'm going to wait for some reviews and when the white version comes out
I like the look of this lots but wonder how the crown will effect the fitting of a case, I'll also be waiting for a black version and seeing if they post to the uk

One of the reviews I watched mentioned that the taper of the crown where I case would meet is approximately .1 mm. I would imagine it depends on how much the case wraps around the front of the screen. The one that's on my phone right now actually doesn't even get to the glass.

I'd agree it will depend on the case and my current one a spigen neo hybrid over laps the glass I would say by about 1mm or possibly 2mm, still very tempted once the black version arrives.
Op will you also update when they make the black variant available?

We will only have silver at launch. We are planning to add more colors in the future. Thanks for the inquiry Dave!
Bit vague unfortunately.
Why they would only have silver when the phones are either white, black or gold is beyond me.
'Cause aluminum is silver and they're rushing the product out before they can get a process in place to paint or powder-coat or whatever the aluminum?

So all this is really doing is using the "silver crown" to hide halos, right? It doesn't sound all that revolutionary, but I guess its one way to get rid of the halo problem.

Correct. Basically the same idea as the tempered glass screen protectors with colored borders. Both are just two different ways with dealing with the halo. The good thing about the crown is that it actually curves with the actual glass. Whereas the edge to edge tempered glass screen protectors have a small gap between the edges of the tempered glass and screen that tends to build up dust.

I bought one for my Note 4 and to be honest I was very dissapointed. After installing the glass and the crown piece (they are seperate) I still ended up with a very slight halo that can be seen all the way around the glass - it was small but you could see it when the screen is off.
The "Crown" piece isn't as smooth as you would hope and my finger catches on it - particuarly around the home button -(at the bottom of the phone)
The concept sounded good - but the execution was slightly off - I complained about it to Body Guardz and they sent me a new one - same thing happened.
I still have it on the note - but I would never buy it again and I won't be buying it for the S6 - but that is just me. Others may have different results.
I have a Tmo N986U recently purchased from Tmo about 2 weeks ago. The back of my phone does not feel like the glass back on my previous 1+ 7Pro. It feels textured and I can feel the Samsung script on the back of the phone as well. I have the copper color variant and couldn't find an answer for my question other than specs listing it as glass. The camera lense cover is clearly glass. There is no protective film on the phone or anything like that. Am I missing something? It feels more like coated aluminum.
Frosted glass probably. I don't know, I didn't pay attention to that color. But I did see it was opaque and not reflective like the other ones, so maybe it's coated on the outside, but it is glass.

The black and white model have regular glass backs while the bronze model has a frosted glass back.
Ah! I thought I was losing my mind. Frosted glass certainly makes sense.

My 10+ is smooth... unmanageable without a case.
Guess Samsung heard too many complaints about their high dollar slippery flying fish.

Cross platforming. I've used known issues on the N9 and earlier to fix the same issues on the 10+.
They don't change that much which is part of the problem...
If you drop it, you'll find out soon enough, indeed it is glass because glass breaks!
Anyone have issues with the factory screen protector on the inner screen? I'm noticing it's starting to unglue at the edge where the screen folds. Is that normal? Is that covered by Samsung's care plan?

Same happened with mine, I contacted Samsung and they advised me to go to the repair centre in my city and advised me I will be charged for this.
In the end I said f this and just peeled it off, now I understand why everyone was so keen on doing it in the first place and I have been free of it for about 3 weeks now.
Plenty of good 3rd party screen protectors that go on great and feel much better. I swapped mine out a couple of times now. Am currently trying a matte protector.

To be honest it is a real compromise between fingerprints and reflections vs screen quality. The matte is definitely more grainy and doesn't seem quite as bright. Its not terrible in my opinion but it may bug the heck out of you.

I had the matte for the front display but couldn't stand the grainy screen. The quality drop was significant especially on white or lite colours. But when the screen was off there were no smudges and my fingers glided smoothly over the display. Now back to clear anyways.

I bought a second hand Z Fold 2. It should be here Monday. The previous owner put a matte protector on it. I went ahead and ordered a clear one, because I don't think I'll like the matte. Screen quality is really important to me. I just kinda hoped your answer would be. "It's great! Can't even tell it's there!"
But alas, looks like I'll be swapping screen protectors.
Thank you for your response too.

Yes. It will drive you crazy. I tried watching a video this morning and it was very noticeable. Must be the material used though. I have a matte protector on my Ipad pro and it doesn't effect the screen quality any where near as much.
Yup. HATED the matte SP. I loved the feel and the lack of fingerprints, and hoped I could get used to it. Until I watched a movie. It looked like watching a worn out redubbed version of a movie on VHS.
Ripped that screen protector right off and replaced it with a Gobukee clear screen protector. MUCH better!!
Can anyone provide a link for the interior screen protect? I need to buy one because it's constantly ungluing in the middle?
Thank you.

I just installed the Ozero about five days ago. I noticed yesterday that it was starting to peel up on the edges right at the crease. Planned to change it out this weekend. Then today I opened the phone and the Orzero completely let go at the crease. From top to bottom it came loose from the screen. I'll try to post a pic tonight of it when I'm home and have access to my other phone.
I'll try the other Ozero screen protector I have and hope this was a fluke, since I love how smooth these feel, but if the next one lets go like this one, I'll go back to Gobukee. I never had an issue with them.
