this is the first time seeing a screen protector getting applied like this... wow. although it is expensive, I would still buy it if it works well.

Thanks OP. Ordered mine. I tried Zagg and Gadget Guard curved glasses (both insanely priced around $50) , and although they fit nicely, the touch sensitivity becomes inconsistent, making those screen just a source of frustration. I got rid of them within hrs. Hopefully this company figured out a solution

Yeah I am debating on getting it. I've been through 4 glass screen protectors already though and I'm hesitant to spend more at this point. Right now I am running Illumishield maximum coverage aquashield with a commuter and its working out very well.

I ordered one and will be here tomorrow. My concern is how do you remove it if you want to replace it? That glue they use looks like Bondic. Bondic is a UV activated glue that hardens under the UV light and is incredibly strong. Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.

Very good point. Thanks for the info on the glue. According to the mfg, it can be removed., but the referenced scraping method would destroy the LCD glass.

"How can Bondic® be removed from smooth surfaces?
We recommend the use of scrapers. Giving the Bondic® a short, sharp shove from the side dislodges it cleanly from the base. Any remnants left behind can be easily removed with conventional cleaners."


They also mention using chemical agents. I've used acetone in the past to dislodge epoxy off my eyeglasses lenses, and it worked very well. It may be worth contacting them and ask more info.

When they mention scrapers, my assumption would be that they are referring to plastic tools/scrapers (think drywall spackle applicator). If this is the case, then you would need to be Hercules to damage Gorilla Glass with a plastic utensil.

If you have ever removed paint over spray from glass windows, then you'll understand my thinking. The paints sticks like glue, but one solid push in a single direction removes it fully with no residue.

After reading this, I may return mine when I get it tomorrow. Not sure I want to risk not being able to cleanly remove it. I usually keep my phones for about a year and then sell them and I don't want to not be able to easily remove this thing.

Just to clarify, I don't think that it's anywhere near this difficult. I was just responding to the post I quoted who was talking about damaging their screen because the company mentioned scrapers. The protector and all is residue is supposed to be able to be removed with nothing but force, and "household cleaners" if any residue remains.

Mine arrived today. Haven't opened it. Debating whether I want to apply it since my IQ Shield full body is already perfectly applied. May wait for more feedback or I might get really bored and just apply it.
