Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Well I've done this for the Nexus guys MOD EDIT: Links removed I figured I'd offer this to the S III guys too :kiss:

This will be the same exact thing as the Nexus Tempered Glass, just a different shape.

Does it cover the whole screen? I mean those round edges of the screen...

Wond3r · Jun 21, 2012

Great work but,
How do people justify paying/charging $30 for a screen protector?

(SGP too)

This will cover the entire screen, but it will not curve down as it is completely flat.

The way we see it is that a $30 investment will be less of a loss if broken than a $200+ screen replacement.

That comment makes it seem like you think there are NO other screen protectors on the market... and much cheaper. Half the price and even less too

You could have a diamond screen protector but if it spoils touch sensitivity it can ruin the phone. So how does this affect it and is it just design overkill like the iPhone glass back that shatters when you drop it.

Awesome! In for one... totally a huge fan of this type of screen cover. Had one on my S2 from SGP, missed it on my Galaxy Nexus but glad you guys have this one for the S3! Thanks!

Touch sensitivity is not affected at all. It is as if nothing is there. The point is that if you drop your phone that the tempered glass screen protector will break as opposed to your phones screen. Would you rather be out $30, or $200? Not to mention that the tempered glass is extremely tough and will not scratch, unlike the phones screen.

There are no other tempered glass screen protectors for the S III. This is the only one out on the market. The other cheaper screen protectors that you are referring to are PET films, which are in a completely different league than this.

eff0rtless · Jun 21, 2012

do you have any actual pics of the tempered glass on a unit vs one without it? Dunno if that's possible to capture. I just wanna see the thickness of it.

Curious if it affects the case I'm using..

Can you please make it for HTC One X/XL phones?

SGP might be making the Glas for it .. but will still be priced high, and I would present them the same argument.

Its in a different league because its glass?
Who cares if its glass?
Its only in a different league because of the PRICE and your marketing, making people think they need that.
You (and many others, but I refer to you because you are actually here on the forums) are the MONSTER (brand) of screen protectors lol

I have seen SGP Glas protector chipped and shattered...

Tell me why, in everyday terms and practicality, that someone should spend $30 on that when I can spend $14 on the Ultra Crystal, which has 4H hardness (which is more than enough by the way).

I saw your photos on the site, and I dont see how that is ANY better than the Ultra Crystal.

Our shatter-proof design keeps both you and your screen safe from cuts and scratches. When suffered major damage, the screen protector will crack and not shatter much like a car's windshield.

That quote along with the image of it describes exactly what happened to my SGP Ultra Crystal for my Motorola Milestone a long time ago when it took a hard impact from a point in the center of it. Guess what? I paid $12 for that...

This is for the people that buy what they dont need just because it has nice looking features and numbers that they will never use realistically.
ie. Lamborghinis - very nice, very pricey, but why buy one for everyday use. No practical point. (although yes I would love one)

If these things cost 15-20, thats more reasonable. But $10 more just because it is glass even though it wont REALLY make a difference...

I could issue a challenge and GUARANTEE that if someone were to use your screen protector for .. 6 months, and a different one for 6 more months, there would be NO BENEFIT to using yours. By that I mean, their actual PHONE SCREEN, would not have any damage with EITHER screen protector applied.
I would put money on it.

We should be receiving samples in next week which I will post pictures of.

I'll see what I can do, it's quite a possibility.

Before we do this do realize I'm not arguing with you :good:

There's a huge difference between 4H and 8H. If you drop your phone using a PET film, the phone screen will crack/damage as a PET film provides no shock absorption. If you drop your phone with a glass protector on, the 8H comes into play and keeps everything in one piece. If dropped severely, the glass protector will crack and not the phones screen as it is the primary line of defense. This is what is was designed for. Don't forget that our glass also includes a coating to prevent fingerprints and makes oily residues very easy to wipe in 1 or 2 passes.

You also need to take into account that to make a mold for this is ridiculously expensive, hence the higher price. Then you need to take into account shipping and customs fees. Everybody always figures China products are super cheap and they are, but when you take all this into account you'll figure out why there's such a mark up.

ddurandSGS3 · Jun 21, 2012

some of you are so quick to jump on this guys case.

if you think you can do better for cheaper, man up. damn.

konman795 · Jun 21, 2012

The only people who are complaining are ones that haven't used something like this before. The treated tempered glass screen cover is something I miss dearly from my Galaxy S2. I've used literally every popular screen cover, dry and wet and nothing gave me the satisfaction a glass cover gave me.

dpwhitty11 · Jun 21, 2012

I'll be picking one of these up when it becomes available. Well worth the money if you ask me.

I HAVE dropped my phone with a 4h screen protector and nothing happened. I am speaking out of first hand experience. The screen was fine and so was the protector actually. The only thing that damaged it was what I described earlier, and in that instance the 4H kept everything in one piece and I was amazed by it! I had no idea that would happen. It looked like a car's windshield. Again, I repeat, this is on a 4H hardness screen protector that I paid less than half the price for. Actually it was a few years ago too so they may have even somehow improved their products since then.

Your point about the difference between the 8h and 4h is correct on paper, but in real life use - which I have. 4H does the exact same thing!

I wish we could get SGP in this discussion too and maybe prices would be lowered lol.

You need to price it that way to make money due to the higher cost to manufacture - nothing to argue about there! But the price a consumer pays for it is not practical vs other alternatives.

Also, oleophobic coatings are known to wear off of even the most reputable brands. But thats not a big deal.

durandSGS3 - if you actually read my posts, I was jumping on the case of companies in general over charging for products - I mentioned SGP as one of them. Also, not sure what this has ANYTHING to do with "manning up" but if its the case, its been done.

konman795 - I've used a phone with the glas screen protector and I didnt notice MUCH difference over other good quality protectors. None especially worth $10.

You know, how a screen/screen protector breaks depends completely on the angle it hits the ground at.

Just because you had a drop with a 4H film and survived, doesn't mean it's any better. It's all about the angle. You just got lucky.

Correct. :highfive:

konman795 · Jun 21, 2012

I think the part that stood out to me most was the fact that my SGP Glas never scratched. I used their ultra crystal covers and they constantly scratched and I had to replace them so much. The other covers I've tried weren't as clear as the ultra crystals but they didn't scratch as easily. I guess what I'm trying to say is the SGP Glas was the best of both worlds. Ultra clear and didn't scratch while I had it.

Yes because you have tested each and every angle of drop using a 4h and an 8h to factually determine that the 8h is just that much better right?

I have experience with it, do you have any experience with it?

And I have not only dropped it 1 time by the way.
Open your mind a bit to more possibilities than what you're fed to believe by claims that have no substance.

No offense to OP!

konman795 - The only CHEAPPP protector I use is on my ipod touch 3g, and it was like $2 off ebay. - That doesnt even have any scratches and that thing has been through abuse from little cousins.

Anyway, Believe what you guys want and spend what you want. I just wanted to express my opinion and I will leave this topic now.

To the OP - good luck with your business - and I'm not just saying that. I wish you luck.

To everyone else - (and NOT knocking OP) Do some research into products to see what is practical and what is overkill.
