Is the smart devil better than the spigen one?

Both have great packaging and accessories. You get a full-size dust removal sticker with SmartDevil and a handy squeegee with Spigen. Similar installations, same clarity, edge, glide and oleophobic coating.

Spigen is borderless, thinner and more bendy. Sans border and viewing angles, it actual has a larger viewable area than the SmartDevil. However there's a lack of QC. I bought a 2-pack and installed on two iPhones. One was dead-centered on the iPhone, zero chromatic aberration at reasonable viewing angles and not a dust magnet. The other was a dusty rainbow wreck.

It is bonkers how affordable SmartDevil is. if you're worried about the supposed speaker grill, don't be, there's no actual perforation and doesn't even reach the speaker. There are two pain points and all related to the black border. It may lack adhesive along the border. It may not work with your case. But when it does, fuyoh!

So if you have a Spigen with perfect alignment and zero dust, stick with it! Also why I mentioned going with Belkin in the future. Similar coverage, unashamedly have a kha kia do the work for you until it's perfect and that two-year warranty, worth it.

If you wish to try SmartDevil, arm yourself with a translator and carry on. They have patient CSAs and a reasonable refund policy. When communicating with CSA, make sure to differential auto-response and actual response. Shipping should take about a week.

I tried both your methods. The screen protector I can see the double border with my smart devil, the camera app I can see 4 sides the white corner. Mine no blocking?

No blocking, well done kashix.

They have several Corning listings and I went with this one: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=735177461432 and selected: "超清防尘【一拉除尘秒贴?美国康宁玻璃★全屏防爆】*买一赠一"

Yes much better, Spigen borderless but the alignment got problem for mine using the tray, got halo rainbow on 1 side. Smart devil I'm using the Corning glass version, more smooth than Spigen. Spigen got resistant when you swiping. If you know what I mean. Smartdevil ftw!

I bought 8 also hahaha, burnt through 4 pieces. 2 pieces for my friend, used 1 left 1. 2 more incoming. So total 10 pieces.

 

[kashix]

Thank you so much! You inspired me to spontaneously slap a new piece on my iPhone. Lo and behold, double borders all around, no obstruction to any part of the display!

Itsy-bitsy lack of adhesive on the corners but what the heck, this is it! Love the display and how the case and screen protector complete each other. Keep safe brother!

Yours is the same as mine? With pull tab for anti dust or without? Mine is more challenging as without pull tab.

Mine has pull-tag.

Our boxes are the same, but our applicators are different. In mine I have the following:

• Screen protector with pull-tag housed in applicator
• Installation tutorial
• Accessory pack which includes a wet wipe, a micro-fiber cloth and a small dust-removal sticker
• Full-size dust-removal sticker
• Anti-slip mat

Splendid work on the screen protector and have a wonderful weekend.


On a separate note, a printed Rhinoshield SolidSuit arrived today. It's an order for family. Took over a week before the shipping notification came in and another day before tracking is reflected on SF-Express. From there, one day from Taiwan to Singapore and another for local delivery. So folks and their loved ones should expect a two-week wait.

Feels great and lightweight. Not as slippery as how Kristin "The Tech Reviewer" described it. Buttons are clicky, responsive and oddly addictive. Buttons and camera ring are replaceable. Large cut-out allows extensive access to the USB-C connector. Pronounced lip. Stupid strong Magsafe.

Print appears high quality. The top and bottom ends on the back are slightly raised to prevent wear on the print. They are taking subtle steps to preserve the print.

Overall, solid case. Family happy, I'm happy.
