Bodyguardz Pure

[awtryau89]

I'm probably not going to get alot of fans for this one due to the price but I can vouch for the quality of the Bodyguarz Pure tempered glass screen protector. I had one of these on my iPhone for over a year and it never lost its oleophobic coating, got one scratch or chipped.

I decided to go the cheap route on my G3 and purchased an i-Blason off Amazon. I installed it today was really disappointed. It chipped on the corner very easily and it was already a fingerprint magnet out of the box although it said it had multiple coatings. I pulled it off and headed down to the AT&T store and grabbed a Bodyguardz. Its $35 just like the Zagg or Spigen. It has a lifetime warranty. I have owned the Spigen and Zagg on other family members phones and each has their pros and cons. The Spigen is very nice but can be spotty on customer service. I have also had issues with all of the Spigens seating solidly around the edges. They always seem to have spots the adhesive is not good. The Zagg (on a Galaxy S4) seems to be good but lost its coating quickly as well. The Bodyguardz has the best oleo coating hands down. Its drawbacks are thickness (.4mm) and edges are not rounded. Still I can easily over look these things as the oleo coating is my #1 priority. Another thing I like is the Pure has a cutout for the earpiece which most of the cheaper ones do not protect the edge of the screen around the earpiece.

Anyway, for those heading into the AT&T store tomorrow check these out.

UPDATE: Many are experiencing touch sensitivity issues and have returned this shield. I also had the same issues.

I was a fan of the bodyguardz glass screen protector I had for my old note 2. I was sad when I couldn't find one from them for my g2.

Do they have ones for the g3 listed on their site?

 

[awtryau89]

Not sure if they are listed on the site. I just went in and picked one up at the store. If you are Premier, I would think they can be ordered though.

Do u find the accuracy and sensitivity are less with this protector? It seems that way to me. U are absolutely right about the oleophobic coating though. And marks that do appear, disappear on their own through coming in contact with fabric from my pocket

I took mine off. It definitely affected the screens sensitivity. I got sick of tapping the same icon 5 times before it would register. I wasted 35 dollars. I'm awaiting my nillkin screen protector. It's thinner and hopefully doesn't affect screen responsiveness. The oleophobic coating is great though.

There's a discussion at Android Central about this as well. I'm going to take mine off and return it.

I recommend Nillkin as well. I've had it on my last couple of phones and it amazing quality for the price. They make great products.

For $6.74, seriously.

Sorry I didn't come back to this thread and edit my original post. I also returned mine over this past weekend. I did love the coating but I too experienced some sensitivity issues. I didn't even read about them but got fed up and got my money back.

I decided to go with the iCarez off Amazon.

At $8.95 it is unbelievable. It has rounded edges and is almost an exact clone of the Zagg that costs $40. Even the installation method is exactly the same. It is thinner at .33mm and I haven;t noticed any touch sensitivity issues at all.

Is this a full screen or case friendly?

Its full screen but does not have the cutout for the earpiece, its just the cutaway. If you can, go to a Best Buy Store and ask to see a Zagg. Usually someone in their mobile dept will have one on their G3 or S5. That will give you an idea of the quality, thickness, etc. It is exactly the same. I'm guessing same plant in china makes them and Zagg just overcharges.

Is the screen look really smooth with no air bubbles?

Im looking for a tempered glass screen protector which tapers (or just going) around the screen at the edges.
I ordered one from ebay, but the top of the screen is not defended because the cut part. From the other hand, this is not going around at the edges...
