iSmooth protectors buy 1 set, get 1 set free

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

Anyone want to sell me the 2nd set they got for free?

Buy 1 and get 1 set free. Not only are you protecting your device, you are helping put an end to screen saver slavery. Its really an epidemic... thank goodness people are taking action. Thank you.

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!!!

Screen protector does not work :(

Hey guys, I have a problem. I use on Gear screen protector from one of my previous phone One X (nilkin). I cut small square for the gear but after one hour I find out that the screen protector is no there .
So, I was thinking that the screen protector is maybe old and does not work, so yesterday I damaged my second original Samsung Galaxy Note3 screen protector and everything looks okay. But today the screen saver is not there anymore
Any solution? These screensaver should be really good, on my phone always work very well. I am really dissapointed because screen protector from Samsung was not cheap.

I also had the same problem, first I cut one from my old S2, shifted past a few hours. So I order two from a german suplier on ebay specific to the gear, and the same problem past few hours.
The problem is in the glass of the Gear being curved.

may not be as effective as a plastic one, but it's invisible and it's working so far. Use ot on my note 3 as well.

So are you without screen protector like me?

For now yes, but I think I will give a try to liquid-kristal, tks for sharing Thelestat . Should give some extra protection, with the advantage of being completely invisible.
I've heard some reports of gear's whith Glass scratched on the wrist. Must be due to some clothes we wear.

Dry screen protectors will fall off. It s meant for straight flush glass only. I just cut out any wet screen Protector and it works well for the glass and metal. Xtremeguard has 80% off their website.

I purchased screen savers for my Gear from a company selling on Amazon.de. I have had no end of problems trying to convince this company that though the quality of the screen saver is great the point is it will not remain on the Gear, as people above have already mentioned, the body and glass are curved. What happens is the stiffness of the saver results in both ends of the saver sticking up, getting caught on clothes and coming away.
The only solution I can think of is for a manufacturer to produce a thinner protector that will bend to shape and remain stuck to the screen?
The company I purchased from requested photos and goodness knows what. I just filled a claim with Amazon.de and got my money back. I am not going to do the R&D for the company! I bought three of them as in general screen savers can, on times, be a devil to fit.
The glass will and does scratch so take care.
Kind regards.

Did you apply to the gear camera and the metal frame as well?

I did apply to the camera, did not think to do the metal frame.

If your cutting it out of another type, I found you need to round the edges. the corners that lift up, if the are sharp, will get caught on everything

Any difference to the pictures? as in blurr or smoky? Cos the lens is plastic...not sure if it makes a difference.
I figured i'll be using the Liquid Kristall for the gear.
Since after applying you can't see a layer on the screen....makes one wonder if there is actually any protection on the screen

[Q] Removing Sony's Screen Protector

Hello there. Is it wise to remove Sony's Screen protector and then replacing it with a tempered glass screen protector? Why or why not?
Thanks.
Note: As I have under 10 posts I cannot link to the screen protector, but here is the extension of the URL. /Ultra-thin-Protector-Anti-scratch-Shatterproof-Fingerprint/dp/B00L41KMVQ/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410738703&sr=1-6&keywords=z1+tempered+glass
Just add amazon [.] com in front of it. Thanks.

I bought my phone used and it had some small scratches on the front side so I did exactly what you describe.
It feels "smoother" now. If you still have warranty you might not want to do it though.
Maybe you missed this thread, which has excellent information on the topic.

Hi Nitemare3219,
My husband looked up some information about this for me shortly after I got my Note5 last month and as I recall the colours of the various tips that come with the phone indicate the Different Hardnesses. However I don't remember which colour is which Hardness.
¤Sent from my T-Mobile Galaxy Note5 ¤

I also noticed going from a glass to a plastic screen protector the feel is totally different and the spen loves to grab when the screen has just been cleaned.. never noticed this with the glass protector.

White/gray nib is hard plastic and black is a rubber nib. I prefer the white/gray nib as there is little to no resistance where the black rubber adds resistance.

I lost my S pen tips. Does anyone have a working link in India? I searched on amazon but no luck. Only note 3 tips are available. I am not sure if note 3 tips will work with note 5.

Wife slightly bent her s6 wt*! Thinking of a reverse fix?

So I knew this could happen and it's pure neglect from back pocket use at some point .
We both have s6 phones went to put two new glass screen protectors on them ... couldn't figure why hers wouldn't lay on flush like they all do until I seen right side has a every so slight bend starting at the power button side bending toward the top Its very minor .
I've concluded that it's not terrible and a zag screen protector would fix the whole needing a screen protector issue but I'm still pissed about it .
Was wondering if anyone has managed to straighten there's back out even if it takes a while I flipped it face down and put pressure on it and it does go flat maybe a total of 1/8th inch bend I'f I could guestimate .. but it pops right back to the slight bend and it's really slight only enough to not seat a glass screen protector at the edges.
The phone has had an Incipio Octane case with raised edges . Any ideas maybe setting something little heavy across the front width wise across phone overnight ?

it's past any point of returning them and whatnot. . I'm just asking about any known methods to re straighten them out .
I think laying a heavy object across it of course over the raised edges of the case over night or many nights may help .
Theory would say if pressure bent it one way reverse pressure should slightly mold it back ..Even though it's very minimal
