jus change to glass m about 2 weeks ago on my 5s

Well, the picture shows it. A bit disappointed, maybe due to the 0.15mm thickness the glass isn't tough enough perhaps?

i think probably QC issue.. most china factory do OEM will have at least 1000pcs and above made at one time. So it can be one of the low quality one.. like your own, 2 weeks usage already got hairline scratches. previously u said use long also still good..  hmm.gif

btw, no brand is perfect. even the likes of Armorz, feedback we got on Extreme R got adhesive issue, thats y we do not sell it as we wanted to avoid complaints from customers. But, if you ask around, Extreme R is in fact Armorz hottest product comparing to Extreme Lite that we brought in. I think thats y Extreme Lite has lesser issue since the demand is smaller than R. At least they no need to worry about the output capacity.

So far my Armorz Extreme Lite is satisfying thumbup.gif no scratches yet, or maybe because I take good care of it sweat.gif

Not blaming the seller here, but I think the 0.15mm is designed that way. When it was brand new as I installed, there's no "sign" of defect when I shine under LED torch, no cracks at all but still after less than 1 month usage for my case it chipped sad.gif Sooner or later more will report similarly IMO.

Question, you were using your iPhone naked (no case)? So far mine still ok, but am using SGP Neo Hybrid so it does have sort of protection even for the edge of the glass SP. Also have a Pinlo Slice 3 but holding it back not using yet cause it doesn't protect the SP area laugh.gif maybe when my SP a bit older then I use the Slice 3.

Noticed a scratch on my Armorz Stealth Extreme Lite today sad.gif, initially thought it was dust on it tried to wipe it didn't go away. Then I thought it might be fine dust I left out during installation, ended up when shining using LED, does looks like a hairline scratch sweat.gif

Using LED? previously I got one too.. use torch only can see.. but now no more.. not sure what happened.. but one thing for sure, the oleophobic coating off already... after 3 months...  sweat.gif  cry.gif

Now waiting for the IMOS Corning Glass SP to arrive. then change.. ehhe...  thumbup.gif

Actually, without LED also can see the line (1~1.5mm roughly).. but I can't be sure if it is inside or outside... I don't feel like peeling it to try remove the "dust" later on turn out to be scratch then cry.gif

Using corning gorilla glass by imos and i can say hands down the best glass type screen protector in the market now. In terms of oleophobic, tapered home button smoothness( those who uses their touch id often will definitely love corning.

drool.gif poison... what's the thickness?

My next target after I wear out this Armorz Lite hehe.

I was checking on the website, have 0.2mm 0.3mm and 0.33mm... only the 0.3mm is the corning gorilla glass? Is it the corning gorilla glass v3?

It's a commercial secret that they are unable to share with us the information. However, IMOS will make a video on testing the hardness in a couple of weeks time.

All 3 thickness 0.2mm, 0.3mm and 0.33mm are Corning Gorilla Glass? But no information on which version they are using?

0.2mm - Fiber Glass
0.33mm - Normal tempered glass
0.3mm - Corning Gorilla Glass
0.4mm - Sapphire Glass

We are only allowed to inform the depth of layer for the SP is 35um-50um
*
Ah alright, so the 0.3mm is the Corning Gorilla Glass thumbup.gif

You mean each layer on the glass is about 35-50um? So many layers o_O? 6-10 layers?

I haven't tried a 0.3mm SP on my 5S, I wonder how much does it affect the Touch ID feel hmm.

a lot case to recommend... maybe u should set a budget.

Anyway, here's some recommendation for casings

1. SGP case - mid priced casing with nice design. Can get from bro dino89
2. Element Case - Premium case with superb outlook and quality. Can get from authorised reseller like switch, machines, etc. (do not attempt to buy a new unit from a non authorised reseller, high chances its fake. As for used one, ask around in this thread. Most of the active members in this thread using original piece) if you prefer to buy those limited edition model, try www.tekcases.com or www.elementcase.com
3. Nuguard KX - Not really the best looking case but its main function is more to protection. If you are looking for extreme protection, consider this. You can get it from us.
4. Sword Bumper - No reseller currently in Malaysia, but you can buy it from the website. Kindly refer to neverknowgirl as she bought it before
5. Mophie - Battery Case. We highly recommend it if you are looking for a extra boost for you 5s. Of course, it does come with extra weight.
6. If you are looking for waterproof case, u can try otterbox preserver, lifeproof nuud

As for Screen protectors

1. for 3H PET film, IMOS is the best in its class. Super Oleophobic properties that gives u a almost naked screen - you can get from us too since we are the authorised reseller listed in IMOS official website. (www.imos.com.tw)
2. For glass sp, again, u can try the brand new IMOS Corning Glass SP, the first 0.3mm corning gorilla glass sp in the market. you can get from us too since we are the authorised reseller listed in IMOS official website. (www.imos.com.tw)
3. U can also try Armorz which is made in USA. We have ready stocks for extreme lite which is 0.2mm, if you wanted the extreme R which is 0.4mm, u can contact bro Ingfusion, he is compiling a bulk purchase now.
4. Others u can try siege glass sp . look for bro dino89.
5. For budget glass sp, I see many ppl are buying Glass M or Remax or some other china brand.

Hope this helps...

I would recommend to avoid Glass-M, bad adhesive coverage. So far had 1 iPhone 5S and 2x iPad Air all had the same issue.

Oh and I just noticed, the Glass-M cracked at the spots where there is no adhesive below leaving a void.
