Default Tip if you have a SGP Ultra Nano screen protector

The adhesive on the front face stays a bit after you peel of the protector. Initially I thought this screen protector wasn't great because it felt like it added too much drag when swiping, but wiping it down with lens cleaner made it as slick as the bare screen.

This is an outstanding screen protector, the best I've ever seen, shines in every area. Highly suggested to those considering it.

After reading pages of reviews on the screen protector, seems like SGP Ultra Nano Clear got some good votes.
But I didn't like the clear on my wife phone vs mine had anti-glare cleaner.
It resist finger prints and residue and the swiping feels good too brand was (Green Onion: Rota Anti-Glare).
So I end up order a pk3 anti-glare & anti-finger print from Tech Armor for $9.99 bucks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00.
The SGP Ultra Nano Clear was $13.99 pk3 is a pretty good deal, but I hope Tech Armor is a good choice once I get it, I'll post a review for sure...

they sell an optics version you can get that's supposed to have less glare. i have the Nano clear and i can say it's amazing. you can barely tell it's there and it's very click. kudos to SGP.

Yes, I saw that but I wouldn't pay $19 for just screen protector.

I put my nano clear on a few days ago and am very pleased with how it works. Feels basically the same as the bare glass & is extremely clear. The only thing is I screwed up the first 2 trying to put them on they were not aligned exactly right and the third I still managed to put it just a tiny bit too much to the left so that a very slim wedge in the top right of the screen is not covered and the front facing camera has a little bit of the protector blocking it. luckily I don't use the camera but I would really like to take it off and try again but do not want to pay another 17 dollars to do so..

Anyone think if I emailed sgp they might send me another one to try again? lol

you can get this back off by taking a piece of tape and lifting the protector off. when installing these things, i never let them cling completely until i have it lined up okay. mine is a tad off around the home button, but perfect alignment around the speaker and FFC. you would think this would mean the protector goes diagonal on the phone but the edges are also lined up good, with just a smidgen more of the protector being on the right side.

anyway, try that. you may end up getting some dust under there doing this. just use the stickers they provide and use more tape to lift up, then the sticker to grab the piece of lint/dirt. very easy. just takes A LOT of patience.

edit: also, always make sure you start with the top. i wish SGP included more of those stickers. would make installing these a breeze because you could just stick one at the top and one at the bottom under the protector in case you needed to re-lift.

lol I started on the bottom which I guess was my first mistake. I wanted to make sure it didn't get on top of the home button at all..

So you think it will still stick good if I peel it off with a piece of tape to try to align it better?

In my experience, attempting to re-position the ENTIRE protector ends in disaster every time. Bubbles, dust, worse positioning... but I'm also like you: I tend to buy 3 screen protectors knowing the first 2 are going to end up being trial runs for the 3rd

it's very possible, despite what the person above me just said. you just have to be meticulous with what you're doing. if it's already messed up then it's not gonna be any worse. start with taking the bottom up first. be sure not to flip the protector over as you are pulling it up and taking it off. always leave the side that contacts your screen facing your screen.
bubbles come from something getting trapped between the protector and screen. when you go to squeegee it with the plastic card, if the bubble doesn't move over, that means you trapped something in there. use another piece of tape to lift and then use the stickers they provided to grab whatever is in there. i had to do this at least 4 times on mine after i got it placed good enough.
it takes time to do it this way, but it has always worked for me. the difference between me and someone who doesn't care as much... my gfs phone has bubbles on her screen and i can even see what was trapped. mine has absolutely no bubbles. a co-worker handled my phone and i told him after about the screen protector. he didn't even know it was there and there's no case around my phone yet hiding the edges...

I guess I am hesitant because besides the fact that it is not aligned just right there are absolutely no bubbles or marks or anything underneath the protector it looks fantastic. Will probably just leave it for now but thanks for the tips
