Your kidding right? Looks identical to post number 4 on page 1 and like the other one on page 2 or whatever page. Are you even looking at the pictures? Black border, open top, full adhesive tempered glass, same exact cutouts. What on mine is "NOTHING" like what the op was posting about?

Mine are extremely close to the edge pictures but look at the post on page one. He has the same issue on the sides
Not kidding. Yours comes nowhere near the edge of the screen, and you even said it looks like it's for a different phone. Post 4 on page 1 is not the same product the OP is talking about. The guy who posted those pics in post 4 page one even said it's not the same product a couple pages later.

I, and the OP, and nearly everyone else in this thread are talking about the Singularity product on Amazon. Not what you bought on AliExpress.

Well I was referring to the replies where people said they saw from AliExpress, next time I'll quote it so someone doesn't lose their mind for sharing info.

LOL. I didn't lose my mind. And nowhere did you say you were talking about people who ordered from AliExpress. You even told the OP you thought you ordered the same product as he did, but wasn't sure.

In any case, I'm call, was just pointing out maybe you should be more careful complaining about a product when you're not even sure which product you have. Would be very unfair to Singularity if it cost them a sale due to misinformation and guessing. If you owned a business, you'd understand.

Either way, have a Merry Christmas! Sorry I ruined your day!

Just got and installed mine. It went on fairly easy, took a couple of minutes to get the bubbles out but nothing too crazy. Seems to fit better than the other amazon full adhesives. The only two things I don't care for is that there is a thin black strip on the sides which cuts off the slightest bit of the edge, though it doesn't really seem to affect usage at all, second is that the protector itself seems a slight bit raised due to the adhesive. This may cause problems with lint or getting pulled off but this remains to be seen. It covers slightly, and I mean slightly, less of the edge than the Zagg TPSG which I'm ok with for now since it doesn't have a dot matrix or edge adhesive. I will update in a couple days as to how well it holds up. I'd put pictures but it's the only phone I have.

Update: about an hour after putting the protector on the bottom left has a bubble right on the edge about an inch long. I can push it out but it comes back half an hour to an hour later. Could be a defective one, could not. Contacted seller for an exchange.
I applied mine this morning, exactly same thing happening on mine, only difference is I have two bubbles, one bubble is near top left edge, and another one is below the front camera. No matter how I push them out, they will come back soon, and last time I pushed it it cracked around the camera, asking Amazon to send me a replacement.

Yea I actually ended up cracking mine as well, though I did get the bubble out. Asked for an exchange and they said they'd give me a code when it was back in stock. They seem to reply at like midnight where I am so I dont expect an answer until later tonight. It sucks cause besides that tiny bubble it's by far the best, cheapest non-diy full adhesive.

Yep, everything else is greatas of now, and it fits in my UAG Monarch case very well, hope the replacement has no bubble on it (it's in stock now on Amazon, get it before its out of stock again).

Well if it counts for anything I'm probably buying one from singularity because of this thread and cause I hate the one from AliExpress haha.

There's a clear full adhesive on AliExpress now. Ordered it. I've asked myself all the time why a full adhesive screen protector should need black borders. If this clear one works, we'll see.

I ordered mine from Singularity on Amazon last night. Supposed to be here Friday. Fingers crossed it goes on as nicely as it did for the OP.

They're back in stock and they raised the price again. And the latest Amazon reviews aren't encouraging. Now I'm a little worried. Will see what happens when I get mine tomorrow I guess.

It's garbage,it REALLY is.

Your picture is almost the same as the one I got few days ago, the crack extended all the way to the bottom at the end. I got my replacement today, I applied it extremely careful and didn't crack it, BUT the right edge won't stick to the screen at all !!! I don't think there is any glue at the right side edge, returning this before it cracks too.
This screen protector could be a perfect one if they put more money on QA, but at this point, better save your money and time and wait for the next version.

Ok got mine installed. At first I was furious. It would NOT stick down on the right side. No matter what I did. I put my Ringke case on it and realized it was slightly crooked. I used the jig/guide but it allowed it to be off just slightly. And I mean SLIGHTLY, like half a millimeter.

It took me two more tries, and I finally used my Ringke Air case as a guide rather than the included plastic guide, but I got it on, perfectly aligned, and no bubbles.

So far I'm really happy. Worried about it chipping and cracking, as all TGSPs are prone to do, but we will see how it goes.

Also a tip, switch to the white nib on your S-Pen if you haven't already. The black one drags a bit, but the white nib is harder and glides along so smoothly. ALMOST too smoothly. The soft black tip may feel more natural to some extent, as real pens drag a bit on paper. Just a suggestion.

It sounds like you had the same issue I had. It's off just slightly. I mean probably about half a mm. If you carefully remove and readjust it, it WILL all stick down properly. I had the same issue with the right side and was also ready to return it.

If you have a Ringke Air case, this TGSP meets up to it exactly on the sides. You can use it as a guide for installation. Thats what I finally had to do to get it 100% perfect.

WOW, you are right! I took it off and tried two more times, used my case as guild and it's perfectly sitting on the screen now, no bubble at all. But I got few small dust in there and not able to remove it with the sticker, but overall is still much better than before.
So the key is not use the included plastic guild, and when push airs out start from left to right not top to bottom will help. And don't use finger nails to push bubbles, it's extremely fragile on the edge, I cracked my first one by using finger nails.

That happened because you pushed too hard with your finger at the edges. There's no glue at the very edge to prevent dust from collecting at the edge of the screen protector. It's also why the black border is there, so we don't see where the glue ends.

My replacement use on the way. I pushed too hard at the edges.

Alright. This thing is fragile as fudge when installing. First one cracked from pressure pushing out bubbles. Contacted seller, and dude gives me a code that knocked the next one down to 20¢. Huh?! Lol. Yeah thanks bruh. Second one came broken! Called Amazon, got full refund, and she ordered me a 3rd one for free!!!?

Slapped it on tonight and patience is key as fudge!!! I'm still working bubbles out and it's been since 1830.....it's 0014 now!?

I'm not doubting or contradicting anyone who said this TGSP is fragile, but that's not been my experience with it. I've removed and readjusted it two or three times and it never cracked. Last night I was sitting on a concrete floor. I dropped my phone about two foot, face first on the concrete floor. No chips, cracks, or scratches.

Durability wise, I've had the best luck with this TGSP than any I've had in the past.
