Hi Guys,
Just wanted to get your thoughts on this:
I ordered a GPEL glass protector but it wasn't due to arrive, so Saturday, I raced to the TMo store and had them fit a PureGear Extreme Impact.. It was a kind of film protector.. dry, I believe.. with a squeegee thing to make it look better.
The girl made a right hash of it. It looked like it had been in a car crash. But she couldn't do it again because it was the last one they had in store. And when I got home, the tempered glass had arrived anyway, so I took it off and applied that.
Now, I'm thinking of going back to the film. Reason being that as nice as the glass is, there is no oleophobic coating and the reflection is terrible in bright sunlight. I live in LA, so that's a problem. Yesterday in the park, I could barely see my screen.
Now here's my question: when the PureGear was applied, the screen didn't look 100% clear. It's hard to describe it exactly, but there was this faint fuzziness.. which was most apparent when looking at the white elements or lighter pages.
Do you know what I mean? And if so, is that something that goes after 24 hours of use or longer? Or is it permanent with those protectors?
The reason I ask is that I don't want to rip off a $20 glass protector, replace it with a second $30 plastic one and then be stuck looking at a screen and feeling 'meh'..
I'm so paranoid about scratching the screen. Drops and cracks not as much because I'm insured.. but all that stuff that's caused by pocket lint or bits of sand (again, very common where I live near the coast.) I remember my S7 Edge last year.. I cared for it like a baby and yet, within a few days, there was a scratch in the coating of the glass and it was awful..
Anyone with experience able to weigh in on this please?
Thanks!
