**A Detailed Review of the Crystal Clear Screen Protector**
As I began to set up this screen protector, I was immediately impressed by its crystal clear display and perfectly clear finish. The advert claims that it is "absolutely perfectly crystal clear" and I can confidently say that it does not take away from the clarity or vibrancy of my screen in any way. In fact, it's almost as if you can barely feel it's on there - a testament to its slim profile and smooth application.
**The Thinness of the Screen Protector**
One of the most notable features of this screen protector is its incredibly thin design. I was able to pull off the old one, which had gotten a bit scratched anyway, and put a new one on in no time. The thinness of the protector is truly remarkable, making it easy to install and apply without any issues. In fact, I was so impressed by its thinness that I decided to sacrifice one for demonstration purposes.
**Installation Process**
Before installing the screen protector, I wanted to emphasize the importance of proper preparation and alignment. Cleaning your hands and screen is crucial to ensure a successful installation. The screen protector should be aligned with the screen carefully, as improper alignment can lead to issues with the corners not sticking properly. To avoid this, it's essential to line up the protector correctly before applying it.
The first step in the installation process was to remove the back layer of the screen protector, taking care not to touch it with my fingers. This is crucial, as any oils or moisture on my skin can cause the protector to bubble or stick unevenly. Once I had removed the backing, I began to apply the protector to the screen, starting in the center and working my way outward.
As I applied the protector, I noticed that the corners were prone to bubbling up slightly. This is a common issue with this type of screen protector, but don't worry - it's not a deal-breaker. With a little patience and persistence, you can get the corners to adhere properly. To minimize bubbling, I made sure to apply gentle pressure to the corners as I worked them down into place.
**Removing Air Bubbles**
One of the most frustrating parts of installing this screen protector was removing air bubbles that had formed in certain areas. To do this, I used a small piece of tape to carefully lift out the bubble without creasing or damaging the protector. This process can be repeated multiple times until all the bubbles are removed, and it may take some time and effort, but the end result is well worth it.
**Final Thoughts**
Overall, I was extremely impressed with this crystal clear screen protector. While it has its downsides - such as scratching easily and leaving minor bubble marks in certain areas - its clarity and display quality are unparalleled. If you're looking for a reliable and high-quality screen protector that covers your entire screen without any issues, this is the perfect choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everybody this is Erica the technology nerd who likes to film stuff and I have a product that I've been getting a lot of questions on lately this is called the curved Crystal screen protector by span SGP for the Galaxy S3 so smartphones these days are coming out with a very stylish glass that is pretty much bezeless and the glass is now curved a little bit if you can see that and that becomes a problem when you are trying to install screen protectors because they can't go all the way to the edge if they do go all the way to the edge you end up with bubbling and dirt gets underneath it makes it easy to scratch so span has come up with a very ingenious product to solve that without having to get one of those wet install protectors those polyurethane protectors like zag you know a lot of people don't really like them so this is a dry installed protector that does not need to be wet in any way it's actually a piece of plastic that is curved just a small amount so that you can adhere it to the screen without any issues you can see that it bends up just a bit right here very very interesting and a very thin screen protector as well in the Box itself you get this Nifty little tray so that your screen protectors don't bend you get two of these guys you get your microfiber cloth which I love so much you get your dust removal stickers these are very important for pulling up dust underneath the screen protector I'm going to be doing an installation for you and hopefully I'll be have a chance to show you how these babies work then you've got some extra pamphlet information on their products this is your instruction guide as to how to install and a squeegee this screen prot protector indeed does go all the way to the end of the screen there is nothing that is exposed it's cut perfectly to Precision if you can see that there's a small hole for the camera also a small hole for the receiver so if you are looking for a screen protector that is dry install this is the screen protector for you everything is just so perfectly cut on this it's ridiculous this screen protector has a surface hardness of 2H it's not a very hard surface by any means it'll help protect against really soft minerals but it's going to scratch a little bit was one thing that I had noticed I had gone to the airport and had been traveling about visiting my grandparents and I think someone slid my shoes or something on top of it cuz there's a nice scratch here and that made me a little bit sad that it scratched that easily something that kind of bothers me a little bit about this screen protector is that it leaves indentations very very easily what happens is that if something touches the screen or if you apply pressure to it like so the adhesive will actually come apart from the screen and it creates these little air pockets you can see that there so that gets a little bit annoying and those indentations don't really go away the ultra thin screw protector also for the Galaxy S3 didn't have that issue the same so I find that to be a bit of a shame and uh that does kind of bother the clarity a bit this is a span oleophobic screen protector on the HTC 1X and I can sit there and scratch at it and it has no trouble with the adhesive underneath at all coming up so I'm not exactly sure what the deal is with this particular screen protector but again keep that in mind speaking advertises this screen protector as crystal clear and indeed this this screen protector is absolutely perfectly crystal clear it doesn't take away from the clarity or any of the colors or vibrancy of this screen at all this is absolutely perfect as they advertise you can barely feel that it's on there either I don't know if there's an oleophobic layer on it it doesn't really seem to be so but it feels very very nice to slide your fingers across the screen no issues at all I'm going to be doing an installation for you I first want to show you how thin this scrim protect is I'm going to yes I'm going to sacrifice one for you it was a little bit scratched anyway let's see if I can pull it up it's actually on there very nice this is incredibly thin so let's set this one aside and put a new one on the first thing to mention is to clean your hands I recommend doing that and of course to clean your screen the first thing that you should do and I can't caution this enough is to line up the screen protector on the screen so you can see exactly how this is going to work otherwise you may not get the corners on properly and it may you might have to pull it up a few times in order to get it to stick and adhere properly so make sure that you are checking to see exactly how this fits so that you get a good idea of what you're doing so the first thing to do is to take off this back layer be careful not to touch it with your fingers and then immediately start lining it up once you are satisfied that it is on correctly there's going to be a lot of bubbling in these Corners here so you really need to start pushing them down so you can get them to adhere correctly don't worry that is normal as I have seen it's not going to perfectly you can see that it did indeed bubble here it's not going to perfectly sit and place firsthand you've really got to push those Corners in that takes a little bit of trickery and patience and of course removing this front thing so that you weren't deceived so be expecting to have quite a few Bubbles at first when you're confident with your install and you notice that there are any little pieces of dust you can take your stickers put them down I've got a nice little piece right under here grab it so that you can lift it up slightly careful not to bend it because this is very thin screen protector then go ahead and lay it back down and that did do the trick you can do that in any place where you find that there is dust this little guy is famous for them bubbles it takes some time to make sure you get them all out especially cuz I had to spend some time aligning it a few times once you get those bubbles worked out the overall result is quite nice and of course it is absolutely crystal crystal clear as far as bubbling with cases it shouldn't be too much of an issue as once it's on there it's on there pretty good you may see that it causes some bubble marks if it's putting pressure on this area but you shouldn't have any bunching with the screen protector it lays flat to the screen and it does not come up once you have it in place it stays there so you should be free to put just about any case that you want on it and the worst that you may see is maybe a little bit of bubbling around the sides this is the sadio active case it gets a little bit tight in the corners here and it's not bunching it or doing anything like that I think that was just for me pushing on it so you really shouldn't have much trouble at all as far as tight fitting cases I have a lot of confidence that this is going to stay on just fine so if you're looking for a dry install screen protector that goes all the way to the edges that is crystal clear this is the screen protector for you realize that it has some downsides such as the markings that you can make you can see I'm able to do that right as I'm speaking to you the markings I find are a little
