BEST Screen Protection I Ever Reviewed and Tested Review by Linda

There are many reasons I am so high on this new BodyGuardz glass screen protector:
1. Provides the best protection I have ever tested.
2. I can finally get rid of that bulkily, heavy Otterbox in lieu of a thinner, lighter and more attractive case such as the GroveMade bamboo case leather Vaja.
3. Actually works with the GroveMade and Vaja case. Bye, bye to the bulky and heavy Otterbox, LifeProof or Lunatik Takik Extreme 5.
4. The touch screen works effortless and the screen protector has no effect on the sensitivity.
5. It is the first screen protector allows the screen to be visible with sunglasses on outside. In the shade it is very visible and a little less in the sun but BodyGuardz actually lets me see the screen outside. I will say it is not as bright as when inside but this screen protector far surpasses any other outside.
6. It is very easy to apply. I did have a problem that was of my own making as dust got in between the clean screen and the BodyGuardz when I was applying it and I had to purchase a new one (which was only $12.95 for the replacement with FREE Shipping). Very reasonable.
As soon as I can afford it I will be testing at least 2 of the iPad BodyGuardzs. If you sign up at the first purchase, you can get 20% off all other purchases.

Great first impressions! Review by Steph

The pure glass was extremely easy to install with the help of the installation videos on youtube. I am very happy with the result so far, a very clear, bubble free, invisible screen! My phone looks no different to how it did before the protector was put on! Perfect. (Posted on 3/10/13)

Incredible Screen Protector Review by Mitch

I was nervous about dropping $40 on a screen protector knowing you only have one chance to install it right. I took my time and it turned out great. I cleaned the screen and blew any remaining lint/dust off with an air duster. Installation was easy, just line it up and place it on the screen. It pretty much adheres itself. I had a couple of small air bubbles but was able to get them out with my fingers. The protector actually feels better than the screen on my iphone and does not attract much for finger prints. I have always used Zagg protectors and liked them, but for here on out will be using a glass protector. I also bought the spigen aluminum home button instead of using the supplied plastic home buttons to add the finishing touch. Highly recommended! Take your time preppi g the screen, I am guessing one piece of dust behind this glass protector would be pretty noticeable. (Posted on 2/23/13)

Amazing Review by Amar

You can't even tell it is on the phone. Hands down the best screen protector. It asks just like having the original iPhone glass without anything on it. My only gripe was the edges for the opening of the speaker can feel a little sharp at first. (Posted on 2/15/13)

Best iPhone 5 screen protector I ever experienced Review by SA

I was a little leery spending this much on a screen protector, having already installed full body protection and thus would be removing that front protection. But there is absolutely no comparison to all the best of the polymer protective coverings for the glass front. It is thin enough to barely be noticeable and is absolutely clear! Best ever!

Undecided. Review by Jim

Without doubt this glass screen has the best clarity of any product available today! However it is not "ultra-thin" as claimed; it actually makes my iPhone 5 appear thicker. I can live this but the "recessed home button" feels really odd (like a deep socket). This is due too the glass thickness. I called Bodyguadz and they stated that "plastic buttons" were included (to stick on-top the home button)- they were not in my packaging. Also they were not listed on the packaging "Package includes list" nor were mentioned on the installation instructions. I believe Bodyguardz is reacting to feedback and quickly came up with this temporary fix but didn't update their packaging etc. I'm not too keen on sticking plastic buttons on-top of my iPhone 5 home button. After all I paid for tempered glass not plastic. Most likely will return within the 30 days. (Posted on 2/7/13)

Work great! Review by Myles

Put it on the second I got it in the mail and never looked back! You can't even tell it's on there!
One tip I do have for people putting it on: TAKE YOUR TIME. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT.
I kind of rushed application out of "pure" joy (get it?) and I applied it just sliiiiiightly crooked on the screen. Maybe about a millimeter sideways. You can hardly tell but it's noticeable in the right light. Other than that this product gets ***** in my book! Your fingers just slide around the screen effortlessly! (Posted on 1/27/13)

Great Review by Jonathan

This is a one and done, if you mess it up it wont look right, but its great. (Posted on 1/21/13)

Cracks too easily Review by Tony

I have had this product for less than a week, the installation was flawless, almost ridiculously easy, and the feel of the glass is phenomenal, but in less than a week, from one minor drop, (off a desk at school, less than 3 feet), the screen has already cracked. A great glass screen protector compared to other brands, but at least the other brands lasted longer and didnt crack on the first drop. (Posted on 1/12/13)

Best protector hands down Review by Pitbosskev

When I first installed the protector there was a bubble in the middle of the screen which was annoying. I installed in a steamed bathroom and this is my 5th protector I have installed from 3 companies and was the first I had issues with. I lifted the protector off to pressed tape on the bubble in case there was lint, but when put back on it was still there.

I emailed Bodyguardz who authorized a replacement to be sent to me at no charge. When I went to install it, same thing but the bubble was in another spot.

This time I reapplied the protector but used installation fluid from the clear skins. At first this looked horrible. But I applied pressure and painstakingly pressed every little bubble out till it was perfect; which took and hour.

IT was worth it as there are no bubbles and I did not need another replacement as the bubble drove me nuts.

Aside from the install issue this is the best protector because of the glass. It is so smooth and clear. The last protector I had was from SPG and that was great for a plastic one, but scratched easily and cannot compete to Pure. I have had Pure on now for a month and not a single scratch. It is expensive but worth it. (Posted on 1/9/13)

Awesome Protector Review by rkswat

This product is by far better than other glass screen protectors IMHO and the replacement warranty is top of the class. I love the pure and will continue to use it. For the person that said it cracked when they dropped the phone, what would you rather have crack the protector or your screen? (Posted on 12/27/12)

awesome Review by Theodore

this thing is awesome, easy to install too, thanks. (Posted on 12/21/12)

Amazing!! Review by Butch dog

I've used Bodyguardz products for years for good reason. This product, however, is another level. I'll never use anything else. (Posted on 12/15/12)

Excellent product Review by Skeptical

As my nickname implies, I was highly skeptical about the BodyGuardz glass protector for the iPhone 5, having read all the negative reviews about the Spigen product. Much to my amazement, the BodyGuardz product is very forgiving during the installation process and did not leave any bubbles. What is even more interesting is that the screen appears to be even more sensitive and responsive to touch following installation of the product. (Posted on 12/1/12)

Better than the rest Review by JP

I've had the pure for about a week now, and really enjoy it. It's just as smooth as the iPhone screen, doesn't affect the image quality, and seems pretty durable. It does get some fingerprints, but no more than the bare screen. I used the steamy bathroom that some recommended, scotch tape to clean the screen, and dropped the screen down. Initially it had a lot of bubbles and what looked like lint, but by the second day the screen was perfect. Overall, I'm very pleased. (Posted on 11/30/12)

Feels great, cracks easily Review by Juan

I was very pleases when I first installed the glass screen protector. Other than the recessed home button, it felt like there was nothing on the phone. Screen was extremely clear and responsive with the protector on. It only took one drop from about 3 ft onto my tile floor for it to shatter on three of the corners. Although I was disappointed about it cracking i quickly reordered it because the $13 to replace it beats sending it in to get an entire screen replaced. (Posted on 11/24/12)

Very happy with the protector! Review by Jay

Installation was a little tricky, since this was the first time I installed a Screen Protector like this. But it has held up flawlessly. No visible scratches on the protector. Feeling is by far the best, it basically feels like a screen. Compared to the fully body protector this is WAYYY better. Barely smudges, and if it does a quick pass over a piece of clothing and as good as new. One minor thing I have noticed is that when it does rarely smudge i can see tiny scratches on the protector itself. But over all I couldn't be happier with the purchase. (Posted on 11/19/12)

Awesome Review by Alaska

Very very nice in case friendly really great protection awesome. AAA-+ (Posted on 11/9/12)

WOW!!!! Review by DeeMota

I will never use any other kind of screen shields, PERIOD!!!! Feels just like the iPhone screen. Only thing I wish it came with is a button to place over the home button because it is so recessed. Much better value than SGP one since it has replacement guarantee. (Posted on 11/7/12)

Unbelievably Good Review by mach

I've been a long time user of Bodyguardz clear films. This year I bought a white iPhone for the first time and realized quickly that the films I normally use tend to show dirt much more easily on the white phone. That's when u picked this up.

I was very skeptical about a dry install but there's no need to worry. After a week of use, the Pure lives up to its name. It's almost like its not even there.

I believe it improves tactile feel. It's much slicker than the original glass.

Great buy. Don't pass it up. (Posted on 11/4/12)

Has its pro's and it's cons Review by Undecided

I've had the pure on my iPhone 5 for 1 day. My first impressions were that it felt great, was a pretty quick and easy install and looked very clear/crisp. I've learned that a glass touch surface beats the plastic competitors any day.

However!
Within the first 5 hours, the phone spent approximately 15 min in my pocket (the rest of the time it was on my desk. It somehow got scratched. Twice!

I had an iPhone 5 without any screen protector for about 20 days before installing this one and it didn't pick up 1 scratch, so this makes me wary of the hardness of the glass being used.

Also, it's worth mentioning that the glass is about 1mm thick, and makes the phone noticeably thicker when holding it.

Lastly, this doesn't qualify for the Advantage replacement, which is disappointing, considering the cost and it's propensity to pick up scratches.

In conclusion. Because of the easy scratching, I can't say I would buy this 40 dollar screen protector again, but to some, it may be worth the investment. (Posted on 10/29/12)

Great install Review by Kander

I am always wary of the 'dry' install. This one went on great, I even placed it a little crooked and had to peel it up once to reapply, it still went on flawlessly.

The feel and look is very classy and sensitive. Well done bodyguardz. I also really like the Carbon Fiber cover! (Posted on 10/19/12)

Great! Review by Russell

I love this screen shield so far, and it's definitely the best screen shield I have ever used. The glass feel is amazing and if you line it up correctly you can't even tell it's there. Install was super easy, I used the hinged method. (Look it up on YouTube). So far I have no complaints, but unfortunately I have not had it long enough to see any chipping. I did order an SGP Glast first, but messed up the install so I was out $28. The advantage replacement is awesome and definitely makes it worth the higher price because SGP does NO returns or exchanges. I did luckily have a 50% off coupon so I saved a lot of money. Overall, very satisfied. (Posted on 10/11/12)

Great Product Review by MobileMan

I just bought the Bodyguardz Pure for my Iphone 5 and it's just beautiful. The installation was really easy and fast. It took me lest than 5 minutes to install. The touch of glass protector is very smooth and responsive. (Posted on 10/9/12)

AMAZING! Review by immabjam

It looks and feels natural and i can tell its going to protect my phone, way better than the zagg extreme that wasted my money and time...and lowered my phones sensitivity. (Posted on 10/8/12)
