iSmooth protectors buy 1 set, get 1 set free - Galaxy Note II Accessories

I just received my iSmooth protectors today, the packaging is really nice and I love the cloth. I am going to install them in a bit and report back. I noticed in the package a little info card and if you post a review of the protector on Amazon and provide all the proof of review and your Amazon order number they send you another set for free with free shipping. I don't recall anyone mentioning this previously so I thought I would share the information. If you e mail them the Amazon order number, Details of the offer can be found here www.iSmooth.com/freepromo you will receive the same item you purchased or you can choose another similar product in their range. Pretty sweet deal, imo, that's 6 protectors and 2 cloths for just under $11

I think I mentioned it before in another post, they include Thank You card with this info. Indeed a very sweet deal, and they just want your honest opinion/review to receive a second set. But as you know, if you don't like the product you will not request for a second set anyway. Btw, did you receive original screen protectors with green cover film or the new ones with a clear cover film?

It's too far from the bottom and not very wide but yeah it covers the usable portion of the screen. I will shoot them an email about the newer version.

There's another thread, a review of the protector and there's pictures. You can see the cut, it's a plainly visual difference in size. Older ones have a green tint on the removable film that you peel off. Newer ones aren't green.

I applied the newer thicker cut and I like these even better. The adhesive is very good on the new ones. You wont be disappointed

Thanks, I already got a reply from Paul and he's sending out a new set. I love the feel and clarity of the protector, I don't like the cut on this one, too much screen exposed. I finally got the tackiness rubbed off and it feels really nice. I pulled off the jlg protector off my mom's phone, the rainbow was really annoying her. Slapped an iSmooth on it, she's happy now.

You gonna love new version. It's on par with Spigen stuff! The width will be similar to green tint ones, but the cutouts around home button and top of the phone are better. It sticks perfectly, crystal clear, no marks from s-pen, no rainbow effects, and very easy to wipe. Not sure if it was just my sample, I did notice some accumulation of fingerprints, but it's so easy to wipe. No different than Spigen oleophobic. The most important, it feels very smooth, not plasticky at all. This clear version is going to be their new screen protector moving forward in a week or so, as told by Paul.

Any chance u could pn me pauls email I just got the old revision of the screen protectors in the mail and I tried with the ismooth support email but got no response

I was using whatever support email is at http://ismooth.com/support/
I just know the guy's name is Paul since he replied back to me. Sorry guys, I probably confused a crap out of everybody with my references to "old" versus "new". I just go by how I understood it originally and what others posted in the forum (I think some of those screen protector posts were removed in favor of a new sticky thread?). Just never mind that whole new vs old stuff. I would say order it, and if everything works great and you are happy - then you are done! They give you lifetime guarantee and you will get 2nd set for free with instructions they provide inside of the shipping package. Also keep in mind, everybody has their own opinion and preference. Some like wet install, others dry. Some want tempered glass, others something else. The tricky part with screen protectors, those are not like cases where its easy to try one versus the other, and then you return whatever you like, or keep a few to change it for different occasions, etc. So, if you find one screen protector you like and happy with it - stop driving yourself crazy (i'm speaking from a personal experience) lol!!! Again, just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt lol!!!

You mean coming off the left side of the phone? In general, not just iSmooth, if glass is not clean and/or oily from fingerprints on one side then it might have issues with sticking. Have you tried another screen protector from the pack and do you see the same problem? Make sure you wipe your screen really good. I actually buy one of those eye glass little spray bottles - its amazing how it cleans the screen and even screen protector (it works on both glass and plastic).
From the picture you posted, it looks like the original cut. Paul mentioned only something like 5% of original screens were affected by an issue of not sticking edge. If you remember, Note 2 has a glass that slopes down toward the Home button. That is where the troublesome edge could happen. If you see the second protector doing the same thing, even after you clean the screen, contract them and ask for a replacement new batch.
.... note to myself: check with iSmooth if they are hiring tech support lol!!!

Gelaskins now available for the Tab

As above, I've pestered them by mail and FB lately and skins are finally available. Unfortunately, the German store doesn't have them yet (cheaper for me in the UK and faster shipping) but hopefully will soon.
I'll likely buy one tomorrow, just need to decide which...
It would also be cool if you could just buy the back as I might not use the front skin.

I made my own design and got 10% off. nice.
Well I bought a skinit. Which seems slightly thicker than gelaskins and hence easier to apply...however skinit does not provide side cover, only front and back...:-( have gelaskins before on my PS3 and they were a pain to apply! Got all stretched and wrinkled...

Each to their own. I found the Desire gelaskins i bought very easy to apply so these should be a cinch. I made a custom one earlier from one of Daim's images.

Yes the gelaskins material tend to stretch a bit and that can be annoying looking for precision. When sticking, don't try to "pull/unroll" on the surface, but rather apply/deposit. Don't know if it's clear
The one I applied didn't fit perfectly the side with buttons & card access so i had to make a lil wrinkle to do so. I may have stretched it 1 millimeter...
I applied the front above the Antiglare screen protector.

Looks good, I'll. Have to post some pics of mine. I haven't put the side bits on. I also have a wrinkle on the front where it stretched. A real pain to fit over a screen protector as that kept lifting as i tried to really the skin. The back skin could be bigger too as there's a white outline all the way round.
Still looks pretty good though.

Also note that unsticking to refit will also strech the sticker. So better care on first attempt.

wow nice!! i want to try this but daym 1 try is scarry
so how strong is the protection kinda scared from going from a gel case to a skin.
and is it hard to apply? did you guys use any soap water etc?
They're easy to apply, it just stuck to the screen protector and gave me grief. My desire one was easy and i removed it and reapplied it with no problems. If you're not using a screen protector then it'll probably be easy on the tab too.

It can be removed cleanly for the tab, no residue, and the sticker is strong enough so it won't tear up. But switching often, I don't think so. From what I seen, the sticker will stretch as you pull to unstick, especially the narrow parts: sides/front. So even taking great care, IMO it will be hard & long to put back cleanly.

Hi There!
If you've received your Galaxy Tab GelaSkin, you've probably noticed there's something wonky with the top and bottom artwork. You were probably like, "What's up with that, GelaSkins? You're normally so awesome!". Well, we've realized our mistake and we're sorry. Like, reeeeally sorry. We're going to send you out a brand spankin' new skin with the correct artwork orientation and hope for your understanding. We love you.
xoxo
us
I bought 4 to get 1 free in mid december.
So, I don't really understand what they mean by "wonky... top and bottom artwork...orientation". Sure I noticed all the edge stickers didn't really "match" the back and front design, but holding my GT it in a case that didn't bother me that much.
In some designs that does not even make a difference as they're one color.
Well, GelaSkins fixed the mistake, and are sending me 4 skins for free without even asking...
Awesome... If you bought yours early, you're probably in that case.
Thanks for that, I'm going to email them and see if they'll do that for me as mine is wonky and they emailed me a low res wallpaper, less than the res of the tab!

Mime glass screen protectors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SaNaXROG4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Www.mimeusa.com
This video helped me with the protector. Posted it and have had it about a week. It's kinda similar to another glad protector out there. I love it. The clarity is amazing and the finger flow on the glass is great. U do have to wipe the smudges off after a bit but no biggie. The function of the S pen is great. It was a concern for me but as soon as I got it on the S pen was the first thing I tried and no problems.
I've gone through a couple other protectors because I use the S pen a lot and hated the marks left on the screens so paying the $30 didn't concern me. The only thing I have issue with us that at the edges it looks like it's not fully connected but it is. Don't really notice it unless I focus on it but all in all a great protector for someone like me that was looking for something that was sturdy and didn't leave marked when u use the pen.

No I didn't buy the home button. It's a bit recessed but it's not bad and I don't have any problems with turning on the phone. So fast no loss in touch sensitivity, I love this protector. I wanted a protector like this for a long time and now that it is I'm happy. A lot of smudges but a quick wipe and clear as anything.
I ordered another one for my wife and it seems the order is delayed. I haven't heard anything from the company but my last order took 4 days to get to me.

The purple protector is actually a static cleaner. You use it after using the cleaner to take off any lint or scrap that might be on the screen just before adding the glass screen so its clean and no items. My second one is taking a bit longer to get but received en email from Mime today letting me know that it has been shipped and should arrive shortly. My wife will soon enjoy the protector.

Thats what i'm thinking of, if this is true, then this one I have is telling the truth, at least is stated korean design and made in china, whiles the mime say it's made in the USA.
I actually ordered a spare one and received it, when I posted this in another thread, and during the installation there was a bubble that will not go away, even when I removed this protector a few time, I though it was a uneven glass, and suddenly it turned into a like a oily patch like rainbow effect, and thought it was just my sample, well just last week, it gone away, so now I have a spare one.
Don't get me wrong my spare one is not for sale, so please don't PM me.
I'm really happy with this and at a price i paid, can't really fault it, and a highly recommended product, whether it's my chinese version or the mime branded version.

I received my glass screen protector from mime. I have two issues. One on the top and botton corners on the left side does not adhere on the corner edges and the second issue is that I have these very small like bubbles in random places that I can get out. I have applied and re applied and still get them in random places. Anyway besides that the screen seems to been good quality.

Let me know what you guys think, I am pretty tempted to give it a try... oil and fingerprint resistant.
(after it's in the cart it automatically deducts the 25%)
ordered, will report back with review.

I'm not sure it's part of a pre-order because I checked on my order on their website and it's already changed to "shipped". Pretty fast considering I ordered it a few hours ago!

Any update on reviews? curious on this product as well.
I bought products from Clarivue for years but this last time I bought screens for the HTC DNA. I ended up selling the DNA while the screens were shipping and instead wanted to get Note 2 screens and was even willing to pay all the shipping etc.., but they also wanted me to pay a restocking fee on the DNA screens....even though they had never even been opened!!! The stupid fee along with all the shipping made it easier/cheaper to just order the Note 2 screens and throw the DNA ones away. Needless to say I will never do business with them again and I'd been loyal since my Nexus One days.
It was like 3 or 5 bucks and for a loyal customer of years they wouldn't waive it for me. I would have bought these glass protectors in a heartbeat if not for this...I almost bought them anyway... but stayed strong in the end.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy them I'm sure they are nice screens. They make nice products but when I needed good customer service it wasn't there.
Any updates/reviews on this. Post seemed to have just stopped. Interested in getting an idea on how the Clarivue HD is working on for whoever has it. Bought the MIME, but I feel like sensitivity was affected when typing. It didn't register the keys all the time. Contacted MIME and they send to send it back for an exchange or refund. Put one of my extra iSmooth sp's back on and I'm happy for now. Just curious about the Clarivue.

Been using mine for around a week and a half now. Seems fine. I think once or twice I might have hit a key and it didn't register but not sure that was down to the protector. Haven't noticed anything else to be honest. Works perfectly for me

Bought the MIME, but I feel like sensitivity was affected when typing. It didn't register the keys all the time. Contacted MIME and they send to send it back for an exchange or refund. Put one of my extra iSmooth sp's back on and I'm happy for now. Just curious about the Clarivue.

I'm pretty pleased with mine - I didn't realize they included a sealed wet-wipe (supposedly anti-static and anti-dust formulated), so I ended up with dust particles after I wiped the bare surface down with a Microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol. Since I figured I had nothing to lose - as I had an obscene number of dust particles under the glass, I decided to pry it out again and wash it using liquid hand soap and water.
Basically I ended up applying it like a Zagg protector using 99% Alcohol in a spray bottle as a liquid base to a) reduce dust particles and prevent water spots, b) shift the Clairvue into position. I ended up with a pretty decent job - there is only one tiny dust particle - small enough that it isn't visible unless you pull up a white background. There is no air bubble surrounding it and it only showed up a week after the initial application.
My friends who also purchased the same protector applied it successfully without the issues - as they were forewarned by me about the wipe, so I guess the wipe really does help in the installation.
They also included 4 plastic buttons for the home button - to make it easier to press the button down - it came in White, Black, Blue and Grey. The issue with these buttons is that they seem like they're for the S3 and not the Note. It still works but its definitely not the proper shape of the Note II button.
There may be a small loss of sensitivity (maybe 1%?) - but I'm not 100% certain as really hard to tell if its the app or the phone. S-Pen functions fine. The glass is really, really smooth compared to plastic ones - well worth the extra cost. Also resists oils very well - requires fewer wipe downs compared to the plastic ones.
I would definitely buy again - and I'm only including what I went through to apply it since I failed to install it correctly - yet it is recoverable and not all is lost. The adhesive layer is strong enough for some washing. I probably wouldn't pry it out now though as the adhesive has probably cured a little bit. I don't believe it's supposed to be reusable.

What's the general feeling on screen protectors? I've had bad experiences myself using screen protectors for other devices with bubbles and peeling etc. etc. Do most people put these screen guards on their tablets?
Thanks ordered a Nexus 10 screen protector along with a spare Nexus 4 back protector. :victory:

I used to have problem applying dry protectors as you mentioned until I found some excellant advise which made all the difference:
1) Apply the protector in the bathroom after streaming up the room. This removes floating lint from the air.
2) Suggestions for flawless protector application:
a) "the best way to apply without anything left under is to align the screen protector secure it with painters tape over the outside , clean the screen really good, fold the protector back, and before removing the backside film, put painters tape all across covering the screen, and then pull the edges of tape and the back film while pressing the screen protector and sliding down as you pull the tape/back film together towards you until you apply the protector fully and squeegee the bubbles out, you will end up with a flawless screen, because the tape will pull all particles from screen."
b) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36632751&postcount=41
c) "I like the masking tape idea for perfect positioning the protector BEFORE even starting to remove the sticky backing. Not so sure about the additional use of tape "put painters tape all across covering" as I think the bathroom stream idea is better."
d) How to apply any screen protector on a iPad 3 like a boss - Very good, watch before applying!!!

I hope these suggestions help.
I'm very happy with my Skinomi, but at 3.75 shipped, hard to pass up as a spare.
Thank you!

I just got my 4 in the mail. 1 for the GF's iPad2, two for my son's nexus 7 (yeah, he's a kid...figured we could use the insurance) and one for my N10, as a backup. I already have a Skinomi on it.
The iPad2 and N7 were perfect.
I didn't really look at the N10 for mine, not needed yet.
When you say back piece, do you mean the two holes needed for the FFC and light sensor?
Nope what I mean was they send me the back piece without it been cut.... I should be receiving the piece same as the picture show right?

How is the screen protector? I mean do you feel comfortable using the screen with it or is it not worth it... and also, does the image change much with or without the protector? Might be buying one, cheap but if it's useless i won't mind buying it.

Bought it as a spare for my N10. I already have a Skinomi on it.
Bought and installed one on my son's Nexus 7 and my GF's ipad2. They're fine, use lots of spray/soap/water and take your time.
I think the only reason you can get it on normal shipping is because they get very low business rates, even though i still don't think they do it at a very good win for them! It does bring in a lot of business though but doing it internationally would just not be worth the money for them! :highfive:

Got Mine
I just ordered mine from Amazon. I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist, but have gotten 1 minor scratch, so for $6.00, a little peace of mind. I used to get them for all my phones, but since I keep it in my shirt pocket, it doesn't get as much abuse as my watches do.

Mine arrived through the post today. I cant believe I am going to put a screen saver on a watch
No idea what its going to look like but I cannot imagine its going to improve its aesthetics? I will fit one tomorrow and find out.

Aren't those wet applications? There's a thread that talks about fog buildup in the lens due to moisture: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477441

I just ordered one of these that include body protection http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Skinomi-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item1e812e366a
, I dont know how durable the watch is yet.
I've been using a screen protector for my gear since the day I got it. Cut out of a large piece that I had for my iPad. What I noticed is that the ones I have seem to have issues with the fact the watch face is slightly curved.
It still works, but might come off after a while. I used a wet application type one as well (best skins ever) and it worked really nicely. You just gotta be careful when the charger cradle is connected to it as there seems to be some pressure exerted and causing the film to bubble upwards sometimes, and eventually causing it to become really ugly.
My thoughts are the best screen protector for the watch would be those sticky type that has some adhesive on it, something like those I used back in my Palm Pilot days.

Can i ask, did the wet application cause any issues with your watch? I saw the full protection version that Skinomi is selling. I think it looks ok, but I also know the watch has issues with moisture.

Just fitted my screen saver. Bought from Amazon. Kwmobile. Very good quality, in fact superb but the watch face is curved so is the crystal so the screen saver sticks up at both ends.
Absolute waste of money. I went and bought three of them as I know from years of experience with these things how much they vary in quality and ease of application. I am now stuck with three screen savers that are no good to man nor beast!
Back to the drawing board on this one.
In terms of mobile phones though if Kwmobile make screen protectors for mobiles I would use them, they just dropped a brick with Gear.
Ho-hum.

No worries can do : ) Has anyone else noticed very very fine scratches on your screen? only visible in the right light and angle, I work in an office and the only thing that has come in contact with my screen is my sleeve, no buttons just material from my business shirt. So i have cut out a screen protector. I noticed the scratches after day 1 of use :S

During the time I used the wet application film on the watch, I did not notice any issue with condensation or problems. The only problem I found was the fact that the charging cradle seem to have really tight tolerances. So the film gets bubbled up every time I charge the phone. Eventually that ruined the film and I reverted back to my home made Spigen. Done properly most people won't know there's something covering the watch. I've got the Spigen covering the front face and wet application film covering all the metal parts
You can see the hair like scratches, is anyone else experiencing the same?

Ah, good idea, never even thought about using a screen protector. .. I have a bunch of unused ones for phones I don't even own anymore, will get the scissors out!
