Received the official Samsung screen protectors today from Mobile fun. This package comes with two screen protectors which is nice. You can see more info in the YouTube video mobile fun made for this product.
Installation was pretty easy, I installed it in the bathroom with a hot shower running in hopes of limiting the amount of dust the could get trapped under the screen protector. I was pleased with the fit and finish, also impressed with the way the product is shapped to accommodate the edges. The feel is definitely not as smooth as glass but to me it's great none the less. The problem came when I put on my ringke clear soft case, the edges of the case ruled on the edges of the screen protector and makes it peal. Seems like I'm going to have to chose between the case or the screen protector which imo would eventually peal none the less. I really hate that samsung pushed this on people, ever since I cracked my s6 edge screen in my sleep 2 weeks after I got it, I said to my self never again and here I am with another edge. Don't get me wrong I think the edges makes the phone look beautiful but the fact that it's delicate and the lack of proper screen protection makes it hard to enjoy

I'm loving this SP too, though it's not compatible with all the cases available on the market, i had to change my Spigen Rugged Armor to the Thin Fit. Because the rugged armor pushes the edges of the SP out but the Thin Fit works well with it.

Well, I'm using the official LED Cover, so it should work for me.
Still waiting for my screen protector to be shipped.
Where is OEM available? Samsung US isn't even selling this yet.
Where did you guys get these? I see the Mobile Fun ones in the UK, but I am very skeptical that they are OEM, seeing as though the OEM Screen Protector hasn't been released yet.
Even stranger when you factor in the UK receiving OEM Screen protectors before the device even launches there?
I think it's genius how they created those niches in the corners to hold the curvature. Waiting for these to come to the states.
I don't really like it, it's a fingerprint magnet, it's film so it feels weird and unnatural compared to glass but theres no real alternatives so I'm stick with it until a proper tempered glass protector comes out.
Can someone who has the case tell us which edges of the protective film suffered when a case was applied ? why not to trim/ cut the film slightly using a sharp razor in order to prevent any peeling on the edges?

samsung leather back case and glass.
I purchased both the leather back case and screen protector.
Was wondering how the fit was? Does it peel the leather case?
Just ordered the official Samsung clear case, hopefully Samsung tested both products together. I'll report the outcome when I get it

From experience Mobile fun always receives and sells official Samsung accessories first before anyone. I've ordered several products from them and have been very satisfied.

Thanks man, I just ordered. It says "In Stock Tomorrow", but my shipping date shows as Monday 8/29 - any experience with this? I just don't want to wait around for 3 weeks for Screen Protectors.
Anyway, if they mess up my order, I'm holding you personally responsible! just kidding man.
I still have my doubts, but I'd prefer an exact OEM replica over the garbage I've tried so far, any day.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal case (Champagne Gold), so I shouldn't have any case issues. I guess we shall see!!
Thanks again, and please let me know your interpretation of their item in stock tomorrow/shipping Monday (today) message.
---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------
Who has actually purchased this from Mobile Fun US (preferably), and how long did it take to fulfill your order, what was your experience? Again, I don't want to wait on any more stuff (feels like I've been tracking packages for the past two weeks straight).
Any insight, shipping location, US warehouse details, timeliness, would all be appreciated.
I truly still cannot understand how some random obscure cell phone accessory distro has OEM Samsung screen protectors for the Note 7, when Samsung themselves (or any other major retailer in the continental United States) haven't started selling it yet (or even advertised it as an item coming soon). I ordered it anyway, but really not sure about this one )also OEM Samsung screen protectors are like $30 bucks minimum, this was what, like $20 after shipping and taxes??? Something seems sketchy.
Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their experience with me.

Don't hold your breath on availability from MobileFun.com.
On new OEM items, you'll notice more often than not the actual availability will get pushed back several times.
Best advice I can give is check the status several times a day, along with other sources.
They're a legitimate e-tailer, but, they stretch the truth on availability ETA's.
Additionally.....
I was just browsing their website, and they are offering products that Manufacturers do not even offer (as well as major retailers). How is this possible?
I am almost certain these are OEM Replicas, copied in China. Please prove to me that I am wrong, I've already gave them some money. I guess we will see how it goes.
Spigen hasn't put out their curved crystal yet, but this site has it? Definitely strange to me at least.

Thank you, I appreciate your honest feedback. Have you ever dealt with their customer support? Are they any good? Responsive?
If I don't get it within a couple weeks, I'll probably cancel and wait on Samsung.
The Screen protection for the Note 7 has been a nightmare (for everyone I'm sure).

They've responsive & cooperative, but,they're "overly optimistic" on new mdse availability.
I got mine from an eBayer before he ran out of stock. (The $299.95 price some have reported is just a placeholder until he can get more).
I paid $17.99 for mine, might wanna contact (virtual-depot), see if he actually plans on restocking @ the original price.

The OEM Samsung screen protector also gets like this, right?

I wish the photos on your website were a little more detailed.
It appears that, depending on the orientation of the TF700T in your case, you are missing a hole for the light sensor. Correct and clarify for me, if you will.

Seems a bit expensive to me. Especially when you consider that it looks identical to the "MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case for Asus eee Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 / TF700T, Black" that sells on Amazon for $19.99. And Amazon sells the vibe stylus for $9. I think I'll wait for more options myself.

Just ordered one too. I like the fact that you can apparently charge while the case is closed. I originally wanted to buy the leather roocase, have one for my TF300 and its very nice, but those are out of stock until Aug 17. Plus the roocase has to be open to charge.

Got mine as well. Its a very nice case. Similar to the Roocase, but it allows you to charge while the case is closed.
There is one key difference that I don't really like. When the cover is folded backward to form a stand, the soft interior lining of the case is what directly contacts the table top. If you're like me, you use your tablet on the go. I can see myself in a hurry, opening up the tablet in McDonalds and putting it down on the table. Dirt grease and whatever other stuff is on the table is going to get wiped up by the interior of your nice leather case. Then when you close the case all that crap is going to go right on the tablet. I can see myself having to place a magazine or paper towel under the case every time I open it as a stand.
The Roocase on the other hand (the one in the picture is from my TF300) is designed so that the EXTERIOR of the case contacts the table when it is folded to make a stand. Much better design. The exterior of the case is shiny leather and is easily wiped clean.
Just click on the photo at the top of the post and you can see what I mean. Roocase is on the left - see the shiny leather exterior folded over to rest on the table. Caseen case is on the right - see the soft velvet interior folded over to contact the table - not the best design choice in my opinion.
Update: After using the case for a couple of days its a really tough call. I don't like the stand as I cited above, and prefer the solution employed by Roocase, but I love the charging flap that allows you to charge with the cover closed.
I always hate having to leave my tablet open and unprotected while its charging. For that alone I might prefer this case. I've pretty much abandoned using the built in stand anyway and have been putting the tablet, in the Caseen case, onto an Arkon stand so I can adjust the viewing angle. The built in stand also doesn't allow adujstable viewing angles like the roocase, and its not as stable.
Otherwise, aside from the stand, this is a very well designed case. Might check to see if there is one for the TF300 and might buy it just for the charge flap advantage.

Received my case today. Overall I like the look and feel of the case. I wish it had a few more viewing options than just the one. The screen cover was an easy install but in my opinion cuts down on the sharpness of the screen. I am satisfied with the purchase but will probably search for a better screen protector or go without one.

Hi guys,
Wanted to post a review for another Noreve case, the first review being the one I did for the Nexus 7 case, which can be found here
I'd like to first mention that my case arrived before my phone did (anyone surprised?), however I was able to test this out on a friends N4.
As always, packaging from Noreve is top notch.

}
Upon opening the box, you are greeted with a bright red pouch in which the actual case itself comes in. I don't know who's idea this was, but it was a good one. Definitely the nicest packaging job I've seen for a case, bar none.
After taking the actual case out of the box, you are greeted by the unmistakable smell of high quality leather. Don't be surprised if you find yourself sniffing your case! The finish on this particular case is from the Illumination series, which comes in black (onyx), or maia (gold) or platinum. This is the case in the Onyx finish. The Illumination series has a very smooth, polished leather, making it shiny and easy to clean. Finger prints are not an issue with the case, which is a plus.
Note the hole for the LED indicator on the front. It's perfect, and a very classy touch. I am glad they haven't overlooked that.
And here is a detailed look of the inside of the case.
Here is a close up of the stitching,
Here is a view of the back of the case, and also another close up of the stitching :
Another nice addition Noreve always incorporates into their cases is the speaker grill, to keep dust out of the case.
A view from the left,
And a view from the right,
The case gives you easy access to all the ports you need, and the cutouts for the camera are flawlessly done. It feels great in the hand, doesn't add too much bulk, and would easily protect the phone from most major falls. I can't see fluids doing any damage to the phone with the case on either, unless you submerge it in water, which I'm pretty sure none of us would do
The first case I got from Noreve was the N7 case, and I still absolutely love it. It made me like my device even more, and top of that, it just looks ten times better now. Even after months of use, the smell of leather still faintly greets me each and every time. I wanted to give another Noreve product a try, and this one hits the ball out of the park for me as well. Excellent craftsmanship throughout, and equally excellent customer service, which to me is extremely important. It unfortunately seems to be a rarity these days, but the people at Noreve are extremely friendly and helpful.
The price for this case in standard black is 46 Euros, with free shipping anywhere in the world with DHL. I received this case in 2 business days, which was lightning fast, despite not being located in France. The prices change with their finishing options and belt clip options, as they offer belt clips in plastic as well as metal, or in my case, no belt clip at all.
Some would say that that's a bit expensive for a case, and I disagree. I'm of the mind that if you're going to buy something, buy it once and don't worry about it. You get what you pay for. I remember paying $45 for an Otterbox Defender case, and the plastic casing broke after 7 months, rendering the case completely useless. That Otterbox was nothing but plastic and silicon anyway, and in my opinion did not warranty the price tag. With Noreve, you get a premium, hand crafted leather case, so I think it's well worth it. Personally I've wasted too much money in the past on crummy cases. Never again.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this case, and would rate it a solid 5 out o 5.
Thank you for reading! Here is a direct link to their Nexus 4 product page.
If I were to spend 60€ on a case I would definitely consider this one, looks extrimely classy and well made, but the protection provided is probably good but not great and the flip front is not practical imo. It's really really fancy and good looking, but also expansive, and the fact that the case for the N7 has the same price as the one for the N4 is a bit of a mockery.
I just got mine today. It's the "Sable Vintage" one though, which made it a bit more expensive since it's a 'custom order' or something. I love the look of this case. It's so refined-looking and professional, and looks like it will do a lot to prevent damage to your phone with its metal frame. The vintage style is also a good choice if the case might be suffering from some abuse like mine will; any scratches the case might suffer will only add to the worn look of the case, and will only make it look more vintage, fitting the style's name perfectly.
Nice! Would love to see a few pictures of that finish.
Nice review. Worth every penny IMHO.
(I too would like to see a picture of the vintage version...)
the case looks, nice. but i'd rather see it on the phone. thanks tho
Will update once my phone arrives. Thanks for reading guys :good:

Can't speak for the OP @ynrozturk, but mine is still awesome.
3 points:
1 - most importantly it feels 100% protected. No screen protector so I get the benefit of smoothness during use. But screen is totally protected with case....
2 - case still looks, feels and functions like it did on day one.
3 - it does add thickness to the phone as a whole. That doesn't bother me, as I'll trade that for the protection. However it may some people....

Nice to know! I have a 20-25 working (business days) days wait for mine due to the different finish I want. I got the Ebène style with a belt holster.
The 20th day is 2/28 so I'll send an email to check the status and will post updates when I get it in.

I passed the order on January 26th. Yesterday I have sent an email asking for some update (last one came on January 20th saying it will be ready in 15 to 20 working days).

I received an email with this in it: 'Your case is actually under production. We must ship it beginning of week 10.'
I'm not sure what this means. I'm 4 weeks since my order but I guess if they're a small company hand-making things in France I'm not going to give them too hard a time.

I received a reply today saying they had too many orders and so my custom order will take 7 to 10 working days more.
I can really blame them. Even Google had underestimated how many people would be interested in their product.
Anyway, trying to be patient here.

Shoot and you are IN Paris right? That doesn't bode well for me . LOL I can wait. I just got my Ringke Hybrid TPU case and waiting on the dbrand backing as well. So if this comes in before that, It would be tough to decide which to use lol.

I'm in Paris, but it is not a delivery problem, so I could be in Australia as well and they would have said the same.
I guess the better option is not to buy a custom one. Moreover they had offered me to send me one of the the standard ones (which they have in stock apparently) or wait for the one I have ordered. I chose to wait.
While waiting I'm using a cheap TPU case, with the XtremeGuard screen protector (which looks awful, but protects it).

Just wanted to share my experience and warning with everyone about Spigen and their warranty practices.
Like many people when I bought my S4 I wanted to put a decent case on it to keep it from getting mangled. So I started out mistakenly buying what appeared to be a slim armor on Ebay. Once I got it, I realized it was likely a fake and Spigen confirmed it. Over the course of dealing with their rep I decided they seemed like a pretty decent company so I ordered a Glas.tr then a week or so later placed and order for a Neo Hybrid through their Amazon store using some bitcoins I had laying around and used the bitspend service to complete the purchase. I got the case, it was legit (with serial # that verifies) and everything seemed fine.
A couple weeks back I noticed my Neo had cracked around the usb port so I took a pic (large image http://pcsites.com/DSCN5201.JPG ) and hit up Spigen on Facebook to see what they had to say. Their rep told me to contact support and that they would send me a reinforced unit (so yes obviously based on this and the number of similar complaints they redesigned the ring on they Neo Hybrid blury pic showing the new ring http://pcsites.com/updated.jpg next to the old silver ring ). So I dropped support a ticket with my product and serial. They got back to me a couple days later. Their response was basically "whats your order #?" If you didnt order our product directly from us, contact who you ordered it from because we cant help you. I responded back and explained to them how I had procured my Neo, including a screen shot of the order confirmation from bitspend. They contacted me back and told me that that had taken my order # from the screen shot and an Amazon rep would be in touch with me. I contacted them back and explained again that I was just the person receiving the item from Amazon so if they told amazon to look it up by order # and contact the person whose order number it was then I wouldn't be hearing from Amazon. I did wait a few days though. Then basically I gave up, responded back and told them I would buy another product.
So just FYI. Just because they brag about a warranty, and they have 'serial' numbers to prove authenticity, don't expect them to stand behind their product necessarily. The tl;dr version of my ticket can be seen here ( http://pcsites.com/spigen2.jpg )
BTW the blue ring in the photo is one I bought when I got tired of waiting for Spigen to be a stand up company to stand behind their product and handle the replacement regardless of whom the item was purchased from. I doubt I will ever purchase from them again considering this service.
I bought one of these. Biggest waste of 30 bucks I've ever spent on a case. Not only does it feel cheap it is flimsy as hell.
They literally put less than a dollar in materials into these cases. And the trim that goes around it is beyond flimsy. It's easy to break just trying to put the case on or take it off.
Sweet looking case, but just a straight rip off. I've bought 2 dollar throw away cases that are better built and durable.

Seems like you bought it at the wrong time, the updated version with the reinforced cutouts came out a while ago. Mines holding up fine but the headphone jack cutout scares me.
I don't agree with Spigen's warranty or lack thereof support, but lol for members to say their materials are cheap is non sense, and I'm just amazed so many people are breaking these things, I change my battery daily which means I have the case off/on once a day and have never had an issue, hell my wife even grabbed the band while I had it off to clean some lint out of the tpu, and she was twisting and flexing it and it survived........

This is why I buy from the company versus another vendor. Many companies have issues granting warranties on product purchased from another vendor.

And hardly ever removed my Neo intentionally. It did however occasionally pull off a corner in my pocket. The materials are, what the materials are. In my book, they are likely using what their testing has shown to be the best compromise between profitability and long life. Thats why when it seemed obvious that they wouldn't help me with the warranty claim I bought a replacement ring until such time as I can find a better case. I am a bit picky and dont want something that adds a ton of bulk or a material that drags and pulls going into out of the pocket like some cheap silicon based tpu do.

Mine lasted about 3 months and then one of the "bars" surrounding the USB snapped and then the other one gave a week later. The new reinforced USB port looks a lot more promising but the original will inevitably break. I did not take it off that often. :/

I just got in touch with them through the Help Desk because a friend of mine purchased one case for me while visiting Seattle and now I opened it and found out I got the one with the weak frame.
I told them that regardless who's selling the item, they are the manufacturers and is their fault and their duty to take care of them. Also, the case was purchased in August, long after they introduced the new frame, which means that they should've requested re-sellers to send back defective inventory in order to proceed to a substitution, to avoid customers from purchasing old and weak items from stores.
I hope they understand this and finally change their policy when it comes to customer service... Right now I'm in Spain and I can't really deal with the store in Seattle...
Cheaply made
I ordered my Spigen Neo-Hybrid from Spigen directly, before the S4 actually even hit the stores. I got it weeks into having my phone and was sorely disappointed in the quality of the case. I got the silver one, and it fits so very loosely, it ALWAYS comes out of the case, when I carry it in my pocket.
While it's very sleek and thin, it does add a lot of bulk to the width of the device. I don't trust that it will protect my phone at all, and find it a waste of my money. I will certainly never order from them again.
I recently found a fake Ned Hybrid, and it's a shame to see, that the quality and fit surpasses that so-called certified warrantied case.
Just an FYI, the DO NOT support their product if purchased through another vendor (including amazon) and it's only a 90 warranty. In order to have warranty coverage you MUST buy from their website. I like their screen protectors but won't spend more than $5 or $6 for them because of the crappy warranty coverage. I have a Neo Hybrid and the back is pulling away from the phone. I'll use it until I find another case I like. I might just go back to Seido or otterbox, much better warranties and the material never warped for me.
SPIGEN warranty link, look under "What is SPIGEN SGP’s warranty policy?"

This is why many people are resorting to using Aliexpress and picking up multiple fakes. At least with the fakes if something happens you are out $7 instead of $20 or $50.
In the mean time my $7 Armorview case is holding up just dandy.

you're lucky I ordered 2 through them and they never arrived. Aliexpress kept telling me to wait until the delivery date before opening a dispute and when I did it auto accepted the order and I can't do anything about it now. I'm talking with my bank about doing a back charge to Aliexpress. Long story short, I was burned and I'm a little pissy.

Look in the armor slimview thread for some trusted sellers. Wading in without knowing trusted sellers can get you burned. Ebay is another choice as well; I prefer them for faster shipping and more buyer protection. For instance, I ordered from these guys and my case has held up very well, and they are a US seller. Be aware they are fakes, but they came from the improved run.

To gather options here for U12+ glass/plastic screen and back protectors.
Currently I have this one ordered for back film:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fro...r-For-HTC-U12-Plus-U12-Cover/32881487671.html
And this for the front:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-U12-Pl...-Schutzglas-Tempered-Schutzfolie/263708198830
It will be much relief to have these applied. Need to handle the phone with care till at least the front glass arrives...
I'm trying these out because they're the only non-glass, dry install protectors I could find.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C8HP8FM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So the front tgsp is here. I can't recommend it because it's not well sized on top and bottom. No Halo, because this u12 panel is less curved than u11 was, it's flat.
It's all transparent and fully glued. Application was easy cause it didn't fit an exact match on top.
Usual glass feeling to it.
I'll keep it because it's without Halo

Yes shipping a package internationally with tracking is quite expensive. It actually costs us even more than what we charge our customers because we choose to insure our international shipments. That being said, we do offer free international shipping on orders $69.95 and up. I know that is a lot, but if you put together an order with a few friends or family members, that would save you quite a bit on the shipping costs.
We used to send shipments as letters as some of our competitors do which is much cheaper, but that isn't really possible when including application gel and the percentage of lost shipments was MUCH higher in that scenario. We feel that it is more important that customers can track their orders and that a much closer to 100% of our orders are actually delivered.

I wasn't able to send a PM for some reason but I would love to try the ultra clean full body since I'm using a fitbag for my only protection now. I can't find any cases I'm interested in yet. I will make sure to give a full review. Thank you for the offer.
When I had my U11 protected with full body protector it would no longer fit properly in my U11 leather fitbag, since the fitbag is made perfectly for a naked phone but the U12+ is a tad smaller than the U11. The U12+ fits nicely in my U11 fitbag but it doesn't fit as snug as a bare naked U11. A bare naked U11 fit perfectly in the fitbag and whenever you slide it out, it would clean both front and back of the phone making it look great.
My point is, I would bet the @PhantomSkinz Guru for the U12+ would combine very nice with the U11 leather fitbag. I bet it would snug it up just perfect like it does for my U11.

Both are garbage because neither completely covers the screen (each side is slightly thinner than the width of the screen) and BOTH will not stick down on 2 or 3 of the edges.

coming tomorrow. I'm leery of Orzero due to the negative reviews of their product for another flat-screened, bezeless phone, the Essential PH-1 but I bought it because it specifically states that the entire protector has adhesive, not just the black edges. If neither of these work, I'm going Skinomi.
PhantomSkinz Guru said:
Yes the Ultra Clear skinz are about 8 mils (0.2mm) thick. So you can double that thickness to account for each side being covered. It will definitely make the fit a little more snug. However sliding it in and out of a tight fitting pouch many times a day may cause the skin to peel up? Suppose it depends how tight the fit bag is.
We'll PM you for your shipping details for the review kit

Yes thank you very much I'm really looking forward to applying these. I bet they will work great with my FitBag and if they do peel up it will probably get enough use before doing so and still be worth it to order new. We will see and I will post pics and thoughts. Thanks again!

My HTC U11 Fitbag only fit properly bare naked. Once I put a screen protector and back protector on it, it was too tight. The U12+ fits nicely in my U11 Fitbag but it's not tight enough, I think applying these will make the U11 Fitbag fit the U12+ as if it was made for it.
If it doesn't work out I will stop using the FitBag. I just want a bare looking phone with these great protector's. I would hate to get a single scratch on this beauty :laugh:

Both are garbage because neither completely covers the screen (each side is slightly thinner than the width of the screen) and BOTH will not stick down on 2 or 3 of the edges.

coming tomorrow. I'm leery of Orzero due to the negative reviews of their product for another flat-screened, bezeless phone, the Essential PH-1 but I bought it because it specifically states that the entire protector has adhesive, not just the black edges. If neither of these work, I'm going Skinomi.

So here's the sad state of affairs for tempered glass screen protectors for the U12 Plus. Do you want to protect just the screen, or the entire phone?
Because you can't do both.
You can use a glass screen protector, but you'll have to either deal with the screen protector not actually covering your screen, or you can get a 'case friendly' full coverage screen protector that is, infact, not case friendly.
Or you can use a case and a plastic screen protector, as I am going to do. The fact of the matter is until a name brand company decides to make a glass screen protector that actually fits and adheres to the U12 Plus, none of these cheap chinese glass screen protectors are worth a dime of your money. It cost me $40+ to figure that out.
The Orzero screen protector completely covered the flat glass surface of the front of the phone, however you can't get rid of the airgaps where the black part gives way to the clear glass. Then, when you put the case on, it immediately lifts the screen protector.
The Katain had more rounded corners so I was hopeful, but again, immediate lift and I have a bubble at the edge of the clear and black that will not go away.

PhantomSkinz has tested and released their full line of products for the new Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10+ including their popular Ultra Clear self-healing screen and full body protection film. PhantomSkinz has been making screen protectors for mobile devices since 2008 and is one of the favorites mentioned by many users across our forums. As many of you may know, the new in-display Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor used by Samsung does not work with most tempered glass screen protectors so PhantomSkinz is a great solution in general, but especially so with these new devices. We recommend PhantomSkinz for the reasons listed below:
• In-stock and shipping now
• Orders ship out same business day if placed by 2pm MST
• Designed and Made in the USA
• Backed by customer friendly Lifetime Warranty which provides replacements for as low as $5 without having to ship back the used product.
• Extremely responsive US based customer support
• 2 screen protectors for $14.95 plus free US shipping on orders $24.95+ and free worldwide shipping on orders $69.95+
• 32 options for full body coverage including wood, carbon fiber, metallic colors, and snake skin in addition to their self-healing films.
• “XDAdevelopers” discount code will get you 15% off through March 8th
S10 Test video
Benefits of PhantomSkinz over tempered glass:
• Works perfectly with the in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the S10 and S10+. See the video of the testing they performed below.
• Edge to Edge coverage with no air gap, or the option for a “case-friendly“ version
• Protector won’t crack/shatter unlike tempered glass which can be damaged from the slightest impact to the edge.
• Self-healing polymer is virtually scratchproof which means no micro-scratches.
• Very easy to clean and no oleophobic coating which are known to wear off relatively quickly with normal use.
• Adds grip when holding the phone, but is still very smooth when swiping or using gestures.
PhantomSkinz also claims that their products are superior to other film type screen protectors for a variety of reasons including:
• Proprietary topcoat offers superior resistance to scuffs, yellowing, and discoloration that many other film protectors suffer from
• Their unique topcoat also provides incredibly effective self-healing properties which virtually eliminate annoying micro-scratches
• Advanced adhesive formulation provides a strong bond to your device while resisting permanent impressions from fingernails, styluses, and everyday objects such as keys in your pocket. The products can also be removed without leaving adhesive residue behind.
• Ultimate in smoothness and clarity for this product category
• Product design is the best in the industry combining ease of installation with complete protection.
PhantomSkinz can be purchased for your Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10+ directly through their website:

Thank you PhantomSkinz for sponsoring this thread.
Does this have the Orange peel effect?
So I ordered the Galaxy S10 Plus Case Ultra Hybrid from Spigen. Any idea if this will work with that case?

There is some very slight orange peel texture with our Ultra Clear film which you can really only notice if the screen is off and if you are looking for it. I would say much less texture than some other brands and nothing like the texture these types of screen protectors had 5+ years ago. If you watch the test video linked in the original post, you can see us do some closeups on the screen and the texture doesn't even show up on camera.

We have a case-friendly version available on our website as well. Basically, if the case covers over the edge of the glass, or flexes over the edge with normal use (such as pressing the side buttons or near the charge port), you should go for the case-friendly version of our screen protector.
If you don't have the case or phone yet, I would choose case-friendly by default just to be safe. Even the case-friendly version covers the vast majority of the glass including the curved edges. I took a look at your specific case and I would definitely get the case-friendly version.

Excellent! I've gone ahead and ordered 2 sets. Looking forward to putting those on, and maybe throwing up a review of my own on application, fit and feel. Thank you.

Since you're offering a coupon and a few things that I've been looking for (FULL edge to edge protection for us non-case people and no camera cut out), I think I'll give it a try! Thanks!
I'll post back with some thoughts after I've gotten it and used it.
Will you have any distributors in the UK? The shipping is more expensive than the screen protector itself
I'd like a case-friendly version

Unfortunately we do not have any retail locations in the UK at this time. Yes international shipping is quite expensive (we actually charge less than we pay) but we do offer free international shipping on orders $69.95 or more. It's a relatively high threshold but if you have multiple devices you want to protector or a couple friends/family members who are interested it certainly helps to reduce the cost per skin.
Thanks for replying Definitely don't want to spend that kind of money unfortunately as all the devices are covered anyway.
Working for a technology company myself - I would suggest shipping a batch of these into "Fulfilled by Amazon" in some of the other popular regions around the globe then Amazon can handle the shipping and logistics for you and it works out cheaper for customers. Spigen do the same - my case from them came today from Amazon and I only ordered it yesterday

Yes it is definitely something we have considered and we did sell some skinz on Amazon back in the days of the Palm Pre (hopefully we aren't dating ourselves too much there). However our product isn't quite as simple as a case since we currently offer 34 back options and 2 screen options for a total of 68 skus per device, per fulfillment center if we were to offer our full product line. So we appreciate the feedback and it is something we are still considering in order to provide the best experience for our customers.

Yes unfortunately international shipping is quite expensive and there's not much we can do about that. We actually charge less for shipping than we pay since we add insurance to international shipments as well. The only suggestion we can provide would be to order a couple skins together (maybe with friends and family) in order to reach the free worldwide shipping threshold of $69.95.

I just applied both the screen protector (case friendly) and full body skin yesterday (Cherry wood.) I am loving both. I have a Spigen Liquid Air case (opaque, so I may have to fix that.) I have admittedly put my case on and off several times in the last 2 days, just because. No peeling from the rear skin. The protector has a faintly rubbery feel, but is clear, slick and smooth. It also attracts fingerprints, but then again, no afraid to wipe it down because protected. Works well with the case and I don't feel the edge of the protector. This was something i was worried about. The front facing camera works clearly and normally through the film. Fingerprint sensor works perfectly. I don't regret getting this at all, and this is from someone who avoided screen protectors for years.
I did install it myself, and thought I did a 98% good job. I was happy with it, but the manufacturer is conveniently a few miles down the road. I had them reapply it, again just because and I am a stickler for detail. They did a fantastic job, and it is now 100%. I would advise to do that if you happen to live in Phoenix.
