I don't use glas.t but i heard that once the adhesive of glas.t is applied to the screen it's almost impossible to get off...
which made me skeptical as if you dropped your phone and if the glas.t broke but the screen didn't, you'd need to forcefully peel off glas.t.
but that doesn't seem to be the case here. XD

anyways. how did you manage to do that?

i dont think the glast uses adhesive - it is just the vacuum suction created by having two surfaces together - like water moving up two panes of glass

Glas.t does use adhesive.
It is easy to take off but once it's off you can't use it again because the adhesive loses it's "grip"

Sorry for my bad english, please.

It's very simple.
I installed GLAS.t to my Note. Without dust and air bubbles. But was very surprised how dirty fingers leave a trace on it. Thought that the wrong side of his stick on the phone. Pulled back, touched the other side. There is much worse. So, stuck right. But the inner surface has already managed to collect dust and sticky back was pointless. GLAS.t has been corrupted and I began to experiment on him. Trying to scratch and learn construction.
Needle leaves little discernible scratches on the surface. Attempts to leave a deep scratch failed.
That's one of those moments when pressing it burst.

The surface of the glass inside lined with a film, which caused the adhesive layer - adhering dust can not be deleted.

Yes, I want to buy another one. But to be much more careful with installation process.

I'm on my second GLAS.t, the original had a problem with the adhesive and SGP exchanged it for me free of charge.
I just want to give my experience on some of the comments here.
The GLAS.t uses adhesive, it says it on the box, it's some sort of silicon glue. It is not impossible to get off, in fact it's very easy, but not like it is just sliding off the phone.
It is almost impossible to scratch, I used my chefs knife and just barely made a scratch (youtube: Spigen GLAS.t Stregth Test).
I also managed to break the one that had a problem with the adhesive, albeit after I had removed it (I was bending it to see how much it could withstand). There is a some sort of film on it (like a car windscreen) that allows it to shatter without falling apart.
It causes no interference with the SPen and fingers (not even with two installed).
This thing is amazing, anyone that says otherwise is a hater.
