Default Video Review: SGP Ultra Oleophobic Screenshield Install/Review

Hey guys,

Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screenshield for review this time, this is an oil-resistant screen protector. Installation was pretty simple as you can see on the video and I'm pleased with the screenshield. I've used several of these on other devices and they've held up well, so I wanted to pop one on my Galaxy Nexus and show it off.

Full review below:

I review accessories for various mobile devices. In the past I've covered the Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Nexus & Galaxy S III. Message me if you'd like me to cover something in particular!

Mine should be coming in the mail in about 10 minutes.

The fact that it doesn't extend to the edges of the screen is very disappointing. I understand the reasoning, but the edge of the screen protector is very noticeable, and it detracts from the overall look of the phone.

Would a wet application screen protector be able to extend all the way to the edge of the device?

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with the SGP Flex screen protector to see if they're any better.

Yes, a wet application would be able to extend all the way since it can be held down with more ease.

I've got an SGP Flex ready to install but I want to use this oleophobic for a couple more days.

Oh, I'd love to see a review of the flex when you install it. Personally I think I'll get a flex. I got the ultra oleophobic for free from a competition, so no loss.

I didn't do the review because I needed the shield, I did it because I know there are people that wanted to know how it fit/worked. Anyways, I apply screen shields for protection - better safe than sorry.

Have you seen a video where guy is trying to scratch a screen with key? He failed. This screen is rock solid!

I've seen many of those, but I've also seen scratched devices that have Gorilla Glass. I know it's more scratch resistant, but it's not scratch proof. Screenshields don't bother me, so I don't mind the extra protection.

We love rbs_uk!

The Verizon GN screen shields are pretty good though and readily available. They also seem to fit a lot better than the SGP's...
