QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Feb 14 2014, 12:22 AM) Yeap, she definitely caught me by surprise this round Surveying low and high for glass SP + case. Most likely going to end up with Glass-M and Moshi VersaCover. |

QUOTE(shahruls @ Feb 14 2014, 08:40 AM) Already 3 week with Glass-M and Moshi VersaCover combination. So far everything ok, no problem. Some user got problem with glass-m, mine ok. Can I know how much did you paid for the Glass-M and Moshi VersaCover?QUOTE(S4a @ Feb 14 2014, 10:16 AM) Well, you must be a casual user. Unlike myself, I draws & writes with adonit Jot Script/Touch 4 stylus a lot and using the iPad Air like there's no tomorrow... Seriously. The Glass-M is over-hyped. It's not as strong as advertised. It cracks very easily. Make sure you don't accidentally drops or knocks it. It'll crack even with a slight knocks on the edges or screen. Lousy... I personally am using Glass-M 0.2mm on my iPad 2 + Switcheasy Canvas case, so far no signs of chipping yet. Usually play games such as Infinity Blade 3 on it, that's why I'm going for the Glass-M again for my iPad Air.However, my brother uses the 0.15mm Glass-M on his iPhone 5S and it chips without any drops! So far my Armorz Extreme Lite is good though on my iPhone 5S, but I'm using SGP Neo Hybrid which covers the edges. |

QUOTE(S4a @ Feb 15 2014, 11:02 PM) The adhesive will contract after 48hrs leaving a mm uncovered area around the edges. Especially around the home button. Sigh~ Unfortunately for mine, I saw the gap even before installing it but decided to proceed. Upon installation sigh the gap can't be avoid since there's basically no adhesive in between the glass and screen. I actually think my alignment was pretty "perfect" already. ![]() |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 16 2014, 01:00 AM) Might be an isolated case for my iPad Air. My iPad 2 had better coverage but definitely not as good as my Armorz Extreme Lite for my iPhone, that one perfect!QUOTE(lightning69 @ Feb 16 2014, 09:24 AM) I bought some other brand 0.2mm glass sp from Taobao from RM60 and it seems to be very good. The edge is curve nicely so when I stick it on the iPad Air, it really looks like there is no glass sp installed. The edge also feel very smooth. I had it install since dec last year and so far no chipping at all. Very satisfy except that it's a fingerprint magnet but regular cleaning would do. Bro, can share the link? RM60 sounds really cheap alternative compared to the RM150 Glass-M |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 16 2014, 02:23 PM) Right now I'm loving my iloome. It feels good and looks like no SP on my iPad, and it's thin too. Yikes, so far I've been using the Armorz for about 2 months now. (Y) the screen smoothness is win! Haven't used any that is better than it yet. Initially was considering the Armorz for iPad Air but then the price Yeah I think Armorz is the best glass SP I've used so far for iPhone, but I already have a deep scratch on mine |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 16 2014, 02:35 PM) I wanted to order Armorz for iPad also but it's no where to be found. Almost go with Glass-M but heard a lot of chipping issue so I went with iloome. Wanted to get siege from one of the forumer here but no stock. So far I think Armorz only available on their website, nobody bringing this in sigh. http://www.armorz.com/en/product/iPad-Air/...e-iPad-Air/fm67 (USD89.95 |

QUOTE(Connect2USales @ Feb 16 2014, 04:33 PM) According to the ex distributor of armorz in Taiwan, they said armorz extreme r have adhesive issue. We clarify with armorz and they said their main concern is the supply chain n not the adhesive issue. They will look into that after they improve their supply chain. N since extreme lite did not have such issue, we sticks to it at the moment until armorz improves their extreme r which is the best seller. |

QUOTE(Connect2USales @ Feb 16 2014, 09:26 PM) Not too sure but from what I heard, its the adhesive issue which is not consistent. some area might not be covered. But apparently only happens with Extreme R. Too many defected units. Even one of the forumer bought 2 units from Hong Kong, reach here both also defected. Alamak, that's what I'm facing with the Glass-M now again? seems like iloome really prone to scratches too |

Question to iPad Air users here, as I'm not using any case yet... I noticed when charging my iPad Air, if I were to put my fingers and slightly rub on the metal case it sorts of vibrates similar behavior to my rMBP when charging. Is this common? Does it happen to your unit too?

QUOTE(S4a @ Feb 18 2014, 10:12 PM) For MBPr, use the extension cable that came with it instead of direct plug on the brick charger. Cause there's no grounding if charging without the extension cable Was going to try for the rMBP but the unit is usually with my gf and the cable with me |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 19 2014, 10:19 AM) Yes you see 3 pins but it's still not gounded. When you separate the 3 pin adapter with the usb charger, it only connect live and neutral. The 3rd pin is just to accommodate our socket standard. This is referring to the iPad Air's original charger? But I see there's like a slot to put a fuse in, and the ground pin is metal too. |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 19 2014, 11:31 AM) Yes I was referring to the iPad charger as below Ahh! Okay that explains, then its perfectly normal for iPad Air then since there's no cable option anyways right? But then again, somehow why didn't Apple noticed this small issue sigh.![]() The ground pin can be metal but it is still not connected to grounding. Remember when we need to use 2 pin plug on a 3 pin socket where we jam pen or test pens to get the socket open? In this case, the 3rd pin serve this purpose. Actually the fuse is not for grounding, it's to cut any overload from the live connection. If you see in the picture below, where the round metal thing on the side, that is the grounding for the adapter (usually found on Macbook or MBA charger). The 3 pin plug also have a metal contact in the insert to complete the grounding. ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(silrave @ Feb 21 2014, 02:29 AM) Probably ran out of memory doing so... must have been a lot a lot of app there! Last time I went to try out iPad Air at Machines, it had A LOT of in the background. But surprisingly I still could use it smoothly, so I guess yours had way more |

QUOTE(geek8585 @ Feb 23 2014, 09:43 AM) I got these problem as well... I'm pretty disappointed with Glass M now... The side adhesive is just simply bad... I had the same initial thought, I was thinking my iPad surface isn't flat enough when I installed on my iPad 2 earlier. But then when installing recently to my iPad Air I took note just before I peel the layer off. The adhesive actually didn't cover entirely! Disappointing.First thing come to my mind, this pcs of SP is not flat enough... Probably some minor curve cause it... Lesson learnt: good things don't come cheap... My previous Spigen Glass T.R on iPhone 5 just fit perfectly, but it cost a boom... QUOTE(Kellyyhx @ Feb 23 2014, 09:53 AM) Indeed. Both my iPhone and iPad's Glass-M cracked within one month usage. Mine had a fine line scratch right after I remove the top layer!And the quality weren't that good as described. I definitely won't recommend this Glass-M to anybody already. |
