My UAG casing arrived last week, no sagging issues as reported by some users... At least not yet after 4 days of use. I really dig this military look drool.gif Also ordered an OtterBox Commuter and Incipio Dual PRO but might take some time to reach Malaysia.

And a matte screen protector I bought at the official Evangelion Store in Tokyo during my trip to Japan. Kinda makes the iPhone 5 look like a toy phone now though doh.gif And those tiny rainbow dots due the matte texture is starting to get on my nerves, especially when reading texts on a white background. Might consider changing to SPIGEN Ultra Oleophobic series next week.

Users of Spigen SGP screen protectors, may I know how does your sp "react" to heat? Plan to install this Sat.

My current matte sp will detach itself from the screen when the phone gets hot (personal hotspot is active or after prolonged cellular data use)... Somewhat annoying doh.gif

Just changed to Ultra Oleophobic series sp by SPIGEN SGP today and omg... The improvement in color/clarity/sharpness is simply "eye-popping" shocking.gif Makes me wonder why I even bothered using a matte type in the first place doh.gif

Unfortunately, 4x dust specks managed to slip in. Thankfully they are all on the sides (due to my finger?) and not noticeable after installing my case. Also, I've noticed despite the dust underneath, this sp still stick quite well with only very very very tiny air pockets beside the specks and barely noticeable unless close-up, generic sp sure GG liao laugh.gif

USPS First Class Mail usually takes at least a month to reach Malaysia based on my experience with purchases from eBay, USPS Priority Mail about 2 to 3 weeks, FedEx/DHL Standard about 1 to 2 weeks, USPS/FedEx/DHL Express slightly more than a week (sometimes less depending on which day the seller sent) smile.gif

Well Spigen finally replied me and asked me to send them a pic of the bubbling but I already took the protectors off last week. Anyone want to complain and try their luck?  brows.gif

You bought spigen official store? Considering whether to get from them directly or through Amazon/eBay. If through Amazon I can share shipping with other items, but worry if wanna ask for replacement they won't entertain sweat.gif

Just sharing my direct online purchse experience from SGP. First purchase was slim armor and glastr with free gift stylus and gift card 7.99 then second purchase was 2 pack of alu home buttons with gift card 7.99.. And 2 of these purchases reached my office approximately on the 7th day. My office in JB and I'm also opt for the cheapest shipping fee. Is it because of your shipping address for those who can't get it within a week?

drool.gif Got kena tax for alu buttons? If not then I can straight away order from SGP store with glas.tr liao, no need separate from eBay so troublesome rclxms.gif

no tax. i use the 7.99 gift card they send to me from my first order. total cost for 2 pack of alu home buttons was around USD 19+. i think it is a good deal.

Fantastic! Thanks smile.gif Just ordered glass.tr, 2x standard sp, and alu home buttons.

QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Jan 13 2013, 08:51 PM)
Depends. That's just Glas TR. not the premium version. Cause premium Glas TR alone already cost USD 34.99!
Cool. No tax!! Hopefully. Since is not electronic item. Just accessories. Just track my item via FedEx. Still in anchorage Aukland. Haven't reach Malaysia.

Got standard/premium? blink.gif Or do you mean glas.t and glas.tr?

Can say Glas.t is gen 1 while Glas.tr is gen 2. Premium as in redesigned with curved glass. Read the spec comparison.

Spigen also classifies the glas.t as "Premium Tempered Glass" lor biggrin.gif

I like clear even back also use clear

No point using matte as u will need to sacrifice the retina display clarity wink.gif

+1

Granted, you do get used to the "graininess" of a matte sp after some time, but changing back to clear will make you realize what you have been missing all along. I'm definitely not going back to matte.

Now waiting for my t.r to arrive, was shipped by Spigen yesterday rclxms.gif

Received my Spigen thingies today along with a gift card thumbup.gif But no free stylus like some forumers, I wonder why hmm.gif Order placed on 15th January, I'm surprised USPS delivered in such a short time to be honest... Kudos to them!

My GLAS.tR box was badly "dented", thankfully no damage to the glass.

How do we pay the tax?

FedEx will pay on your behalf first, but you need to pay them before you are allowed to get your item. If cheaper courier like USPS, have to go Customs and pay/collect on your own tongue.gif

I would say a high chance the culprit is "aluminium", only metal can kena such a high tax amount sweat.gif But I think you can ask FedEx what item is taxed because Customs will include a tax slip of some sort.

Bloody hell. THis year custom freight charges is RM 365 compared with last year is RM 165.

My item total barely RM 270++ insurance is 1% = RM 275+- add with freight charges RM 365 = about rm 679.... that exceed the rm 500 value...

Now i had no choice but to pay RM 138.84 duty tax....

New lunar year, new look... And I'm loving it thumbup.gif

Applied:
1) SPIGEN SGP GLAS.tR
2) SPIGEN SGP Aluminum Home Button
3) Carbon fiber sticker from eBay for the sides
4) Fake EC Sector 5 FE. Face it, a fake is a fake so sellers should stop calling it OEM. But fake quality also not bad lor.

Those still wondering whether glass screen protector is worth it, I would say go ahead if you can afford it. Comes with a free 3-piece matte protector for the back as well. No problems removing and re-applying, took me 3 tries. Spent 30 minutes setting up environment and cleaning screen, 1st installation senget to right. Removed and re-applied, straight but too bottom doh.gif Removed and re-applied again, this time perfect alignment but a single speck of freaking dust slipped in vmad.gif Leave the dust inside laugh.gif
