Video Review: Tridea True Shield Screenshield

Sometimes a manufacturer's design decisions lead to difficulty producing certain 3rd party accessories, which can be frustrating to consumers. Examples of this are seen with the HTC One X and its non-removable battery (which makes it very difficult to increase battery life), the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (which featured slightly curved display, causing screenshields to bubble on the edges) and now the Samsung Galaxy S3, that has bevelled edges, once again causing most screenshields to bubble.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had been using screenshields that were cut short and only covered the touchscreen portion of the display - a bit annoying but something I learned to live with. That all changed when I was introduced to the Tridea True Shield, a full coverage 3D screen protector. Whatever the technology used may be, it works - pretty well for the most part!

The True Shield is a crystal clear protector that offers good clarity, protection and a nearly invisible design - although it is quite the fingerprint magnet, showing these off very well. I shouldn't use the term full coverage however, as there is still a slight gap between the edges and the protector, but this is almost negligible and most cases will cover this gap up.

At 12$, it is priced higher than other options, especially since you only receive 1 in the package. I've got the SGP Curved Crystal in for review, which is a direct competitor to the True Shield, so if you're interested in these types of protectors - stay tuned for that review before making your decision.

Video Review: SGP Flex HD for Samsung Galaxy S III

The Galaxy S3 is finally amongst us! After a long 4 month wait (for me at least), I received my 16 GB Pebble Blue model late last week. Whenever I get my hands on a new device, I immediately start sourcing cases & accessories to keep my beloved well protected. In today's post, we'll be checking out the Spigen SGP Flex HD full coverage screen protector for the S3.

Back in December I installed and reviewed the same screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus and went on the use that screen protector for the following 7 months. Upon hearing SGP would remake this shield for the S3, I knew I wanted to check it out right away! A full coverage screenshield is one that covers the whole glass display, in the case of the S3, its slight curvature means some protectors can't cover the curved areas.

Visually, this screen protector won't provide the best clarity or feel, but where it excels is protection. A little thicker than most, the Flex HD provides unparalleled protection from drops and scratches.
