Anyone using case-mate screen protectors? Any comment?

Am looking at the clear one, LYN forummer selling for RM30 (front n back)

i would suggest going for something better like PowerSupport or SGP...my own experience with case-mate is that their screen protectors do not fit the cut out holes for the speaker & front facing camera hole and the home button properly..no issues with PowerSupport or SGP though

Thanks for the recommendation.

Anyone know of any retail outlets selling SGP / PowerSupport SP? I am looking for the clear / glossy type.

Found some SGP in LYN forummer but price is a bit high (RM170)??
*
i went to have mine fixed at the Apple store(ground floor) in Lowyat..the SGP SP(non oil smear type) is priced at RM99 for 2 pieces in a set and they even fix it for you if you purchase it
otherwise, you can look around the forum buy/sell page..there are a few that's selling them

Ps screen protector might have some bubble problem I installed 5 and 3 have minor bubble at the front camera part so depends on ur luck I guess.....
*
i had that problem too, but after a few days, the bubbles went away...PS SPs have that piece that separates the cam and speaker, and that's pretty annoying..the SGP doesn't have that middle part though and it's easier to fix without bubbling...

Hey LeChuCK

SGP SP for RM 99? thats cheaper compared to PS priced at RM118 at Machines Sunway. I'd think i'd go for SGP ones then since ill be in around the area this Sunday. I assume that you've used both of them before, which one do your prefer? SGP or PS?
*
I would go for SGP as it retains less oil and fingerprints compared to the PS. Other that that, both are comparable.
However, I did noticed that with PS, the screen's a little yellow or jaundiced compared to one without any SP. I am not too sure if it's the phone itself or the PS SP. I will check with the one with SGP and let you know my findings later on.

Awesome! I did a search online and  I just realised that SGP SP's doesnt come with protector for the back portion of IPhone 4 unlike the PS SP's.  I'm in the market for a SP that covers the back as well. does look like I'd have to plonk in for the PS SP in this case then.

The screen is yellow in color with the PS SP?  blink.gif let me know your findings if can smile.gif
If the screen's abit yellow with the PS SP, i guess ill just have to consider it as a tradeoff since i've gotten the back covered as well .

*
SGP's do come with the back portion, it's called the Incredible Shield..I did check last night and no, there's no yellowing on the SGP SP..I was not able to check on the PS SP as the phone that I stuck that one was sold off..I can only deduce that it's either that phone OR the PS SP that is yellowish...anyway, my friend has an extra unit of SGP SP(Ultra Oloephobic - anti oil) for sale at RM50..anyone from Penang who's interested can let me know, I will be back to Penang next week smile.gif

you are welcome bro..btw, i checked this sub forum and it seems that there ARE phones that are yellowish/jaundiced..apparently, it's "colour calibration"..

Guys,

Why is that power support SP comes with 2 front films (& 1 back films)? Do we need to stick both the front films or is it just for spare?
*
some PS SP comes with just for front screen and some comes with both front and back...
the front ones usually comes with a pair in a pack, for spare
not sure about the front and back though

Hi guys, just a quick question to all iPhone users out there who are using Screen protectors.

There are so many types of screen protectors out there.

What model / type of screen protectors are you using ?

or who is bold to use the phone without any screen protectors at all.

I have a friend who has been using the iPhone for a long time ( iPhone 2G ) without any screen protector at all and so far does not have any scratches on his iPhone screen. So my question is , who here uses what type of screen protectors and who is daring enough to not use any screen protectors at all?
*
i myself had a 2G for 3 years and I didn't apply any SP at all..not even a scratch on the screen!However, the smudges and oil stains are kinda tough to remove and compared to the IP4 I have with the SGP SP anti oleoeoeoeoe(anti oil laugh.gif ), it's much easier to remove the oil and smudges

hey mate, when did you order your grove case? I ordered mine in mid-August, and I think it should be here by mid-November or later next month..

the waiting time is really crap for Grove.. but I hope it's worth the wait & the price..

p.s. did you get yours custom'ed as well?
*
I was searching thru the garage sale and found a forumer selling his Grove case for RM280 or so..dono if he managed to sell it off or not

bought and got those Machine guys in Sunway Pyramid to apply  Powersupport SP for me. I got the Anti Glare version for the front and clear for the back. It came in a pack all for RM 118. they did a fantastic job with the application.

Totally amazed by the quality of the SP really. Ive never used SGP before but this has to be by far one the best SP's out in the market. Never gonna use any other SP anymore apart from PS. Very minimal loss of quality in the Retina Display and that for an Anti Glare SP?..amazing

I know some of you guys prefer not to use SP and most of us do (like me) It all end in the end boils down to one's preference. yes the glass is strong but call me paranoid I couldnt live with myself if i scratched the screen by mistake. laugh.gif
*
sounds good smile.gif..actually, very minimal difference comparing SGP and PS..both are great products thumbup.gif

do apple reseller store like machines/epicentre carry the power support or SGP screen protector?
really liked to get a matte one at first as I love matte's touching but since the beauty of i4 is the retina display.. i'd guess i'd skip with that as well

the one at lowyat plaza ground floor carries SGP SPs....

I am looking to get the duroshot drx for iphone 4 by incipio....What do u guys think about this case? I like my vapor though but i still think a secondary casing would be good for rough situations...

i was also looking at this case as my 2nd one and I saw it over at the Maxis center in Midvalley..however, the power and volume buttons are protected and I don't really like it as you need to press it real hard to make them work..other than that, it looks good to the eyes..

Yeah, the waiting time is pretty long. And they tend to take it for granted as well.

Crafting time took about 45+ days and delivery took no more than 4 days. Delivery by DHL was pretty fast actually. My last case that was shipped by FedEx took at least a week or something.

cool..grab a picture and share when you get it wink.gif
yes, FedEx took quite a while to ship my stuff too...not so good service from them
