iSmooth protectors buy 1 set, get 1 set free

I just received my iSmooth protectors today, the packaging is really nice and I love the cloth. I am going to install them in a bit and report back. I noticed in the package a little info card and if you post a review of the protector on Amazon and provide all the proof of review and your Amazon order number they send you another set for free with free shipping. I don't recall anyone mentioning this previously so I thought I would share the information. If you e mail them the Amazon order number, Details of the offer can be found here www.iSmooth.com/freepromo you will receive the same item you purchased or you can choose another similar product in their range. Pretty sweet deal, imo, that's 6 protectors and 2 cloths for just under $11

I think I mentioned it before in another post, they include Thank You card with this info. Indeed a very sweet deal, and they just want your honest opinion/review to receive a second set. But as you know, if you don't like the product you will not request for a second set anyway. Btw, did you receive original screen protectors with green cover film or the new ones with a clear cover film?

There's another thread, a review of the protector and there's pictures. You can see the cut, it's a plainly visual difference in size. Older ones have a green tint on the removable film that you peel off. Newer ones aren't green.

I applied the newer thicker cut and I like these even better. The adhesive is very good on the new ones. You wont be disappointed

Thanks, I already got a reply from Paul and he's sending out a new set. I love the feel and clarity of the protector, I don't like the cut on this one, too much screen exposed. I finally got the tackiness rubbed off and it feels really nice. I pulled off the jlg protector off my mom's phone, the rainbow was really annoying her. Slapped an iSmooth on it, she's happy now.

You gonna love new version. It's on par with Spigen stuff! The width will be similar to green tint ones, but the cutouts around home button and top of the phone are better. It sticks perfectly, crystal clear, no marks from s-pen, no rainbow effects, and very easy to wipe. Not sure if it was just my sample, I did notice some accumulation of fingerprints, but it's so easy to wipe. No different than Spigen oleophobic. The most important, it feels very smooth, not plasticky at all. This clear version is going to be their new screen protector moving forward in a week or so, as told by Paul.

Any chance u could pn me pauls email I just got the old revision of the screen protectors in the mail and I tried with the ismooth support email but got no response

Buy 1 and get 1 set free. Not only are you protecting your device, you are helping put an end to screen saver slavery. Its really an epidemic... thank goodness people are taking action. Thank you.

I was using whatever support email is at http://ismooth.com/support/
I just know the guy's name is Paul since he replied back to me. Sorry guys, I probably confused a crap out of everybody with my references to "old" versus "new". I just go by how I understood it originally and what others posted in the forum (I think some of those screen protector posts were removed in favor of a new sticky thread?). Just never mind that whole new vs old stuff. I would say order it, and if everything works great and you are happy - then you are done! They give you lifetime guarantee and you will get 2nd set for free with instructions they provide inside of the shipping package. Also keep in mind, everybody has their own opinion and preference. Some like wet install, others dry. Some want tempered glass, others something else. The tricky part with screen protectors, those are not like cases where its easy to try one versus the other, and then you return whatever you like, or keep a few to change it for different occasions, etc. So, if you find one screen protector you like and happy with it - stop driving yourself crazy (i'm speaking from a personal experience) lol!!! Again, just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt lol!!!

You mean coming off the left side of the phone? In general, not just iSmooth, if glass is not clean and/or oily from fingerprints on one side then it might have issues with sticking. Have you tried another screen protector from the pack and do you see the same problem? Make sure you wipe your screen really good. I actually buy one of those eye glass little spray bottles - its amazing how it cleans the screen and even screen protector (it works on both glass and plastic).
From the picture you posted, it looks like the original cut. Paul mentioned only something like 5% of original screens were affected by an issue of not sticking edge. If you remember, Note 2 has a glass that slopes down toward the Home button. That is where the troublesome edge could happen. If you see the second protector doing the same thing, even after you clean the screen, contract them and ask for a replacement new batch.
.... note to myself: check with iSmooth if they are hiring tech support lol!!!

What's the general feeling on screen protectors? I've had bad experiences myself using screen protectors for other devices with bubbles and peeling etc. etc. Do most people put these screen guards on their tablets?

Thanks ordered a Nexus 10 screen protector along with a spare Nexus 4 back protector. :victory:

I used to have problem applying dry protectors as you mentioned until I found some excellant advise which made all the difference:
1) Apply the protector in the bathroom after streaming up the room. This removes floating lint from the air.
2) Suggestions for flawless protector application:
a) "the best way to apply without anything left under is to align the screen protector secure it with painters tape over the outside , clean the screen really good, fold the protector back, and before removing the backside film, put painters tape all across covering the screen, and then pull the edges of tape and the back film while pressing the screen protector and sliding down as you pull the tape/back film together towards you until you apply the protector fully and squeegee the bubbles out, you will end up with a flawless screen, because the tape will pull all particles from screen."
b) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36632751&postcount=41
c) "I like the masking tape idea for perfect positioning the protector BEFORE even starting to remove the sticky backing. Not so sure about the additional use of tape "put painters tape all across covering" as I think the bathroom stream idea is better."
d) How to apply any screen protector on a iPad 3 like a boss - Very good, watch before applying!!!

I hope these suggestions help.

I'm very happy with my Skinomi, but at 3.75 shipped, hard to pass up as a spare.
Thank you!

I just got my 4 in the mail. 1 for the GF's iPad2, two for my son's nexus 7 (yeah, he's a kid...figured we could use the insurance) and one for my N10, as a backup. I already have a Skinomi on it.
The iPad2 and N7 were perfect.
I didn't really look at the N10 for mine, not needed yet.
When you say back piece, do you mean the two holes needed for the FFC and light sensor?

Nope what I mean was they send me the back piece without it been cut.... I should be receiving the piece same as the picture show right?

How is the screen protector? I mean do you feel comfortable using the screen with it or is it not worth it... and also, does the image change much with or without the protector? Might be buying one, cheap but if it's useless i won't mind buying it.

Bought it as a spare for my N10. I already have a Skinomi on it.
Bought and installed one on my son's Nexus 7 and my GF's ipad2. They're fine, use lots of spray/soap/water and take your time.

I think the only reason you can get it on normal shipping is because they get very low business rates, even though i still don't think they do it at a very good win for them! It does bring in a lot of business though but doing it internationally would just not be worth the money for them! :highfive:

[Q] Removing Sony's Screen Protector

Hello there. Is it wise to remove Sony's Screen protector and then replacing it with a tempered glass screen protector? Why or why not?
Thanks.
Note: As I have under 10 posts I cannot link to the screen protector, but here is the extension of the URL. /Ultra-thin-Protector-Anti-scratch-Shatterproof-Fingerprint/dp/B00L41KMVQ/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410738703&sr=1-6&keywords=z1+tempered+glass
Just add amazon [.] com in front of it. Thanks.

I bought my phone used and it had some small scratches on the front side so I did exactly what you describe.
It feels "smoother" now. If you still have warranty you might not want to do it though.
Maybe you missed this thread, which has excellent information on the topic.

White ceramic unibody

I purchased a black Mix 2 on release and have been liking it so much since that I ordered the white ceramic version, mainly because I am a sucker for premium materials. Well today, it finally arrived!
Initial impressions are that the build is indeed quite special and the lack of seam between the back and the frame makes it so smooth. The finish has an almost translucent look to it. But boy, is it slippery! To put a case on it would be criminal so going to have to handle it carefully.
Have not used it much yet but the 8GB does feel even more zippy - maybe it's a bit imagined but it does seem to open and switch between apps faster.
For me, the size and weight of this phone is perfect.
My pics don't really do it justice!

Nice!!!!

I bet that one is really a ***** to find a case for since it's slightly different dimensions from the regular one.

Yeah good point - though it does come with a white case. Looks like it would get dirty pretty quickly however.
This one is going naked!

Looks amazing. I couldn't imagine how slippery that thing can be, but you're right, you can't put it in a case. Maybe go with a clear skin for added grip? Mobile Outfitters sells skins for the Mix 2. I know the dimensions aren't the same, but it still might work.
Sent from my Mi MIX 2 using Tapatalk

I had the first mix... and it was a nightmare to get a decent case for it. The Mix 2 is better...but not by a ton. I originally wanted to get the full ceramic version but I doubt there will be any aftermarket cases at all.. a niche within a niche.

Are y going to use some screen protector or protective film for the back?

I wish... I don't remember the last phone screen I scratched and I never use screen protectors. Probably 20 phones a year I go through... I've had this mix 2 for less than a week and I already have some scratches just from it going in my pocket. Haven't dropped it or anything. They aren't super noticeable but annoying.

Here there's the skin from gadgetshieldz it just fits the phone perfectly. You can apply it using an hairdryer for couple seconds to soften the glue!
Buy also the Mi logo stickers because the Mi cutouts of the skin aren't centered with the mi logo on the back of the phone (mi logo stickers are a little more difficult to place because they are really small)

Thanks for this - it looks cool!

I also oreder it 23/12/2018 and it still did not arrived, I opened the dispute on their page and they responded that the package was probably lost and that they are sending it again, I just needed to confirm my address again so just in case any of you have had similar problem
EDIT: so it just arrived, I applied it and it looks awesome, the phone is not slippy anymore. only downside I see for now is that side buttons are not that "clicky" anymore, other I will test after some time, curious to see how durable it will be

Hello, pls can you post some photos? What is the accuracy of the "skin"?? Thanks

The accuracy is perfect, except for the Mi logo, but it doesn't matter for me. The actual feel is amazing, don't know if you can see it on the picture, but it's not the same phone and the cheap feel of plastic is gone, material and finishing of this seems really good/premium for just under 10$
Whole Google album is here
