Pretty sure these are generic ones, which you can buy from eBay at similar prices.
If you want quality protectors, look for Zagg, Invisible Shields, Stenheil SGP and Best Skins Ever. If you want the protectors to last and have a good tactile touch, it's worth paying more for them. Just don't stuff up the application….
Got one for 0.99 AUD for HTC desire
Just ordered the matte one for ipad 2
Me too :)
They should be $0.99 anyways, their original prices of $10 for a screen protector are ridiculous.
Really depends how good they are, the ones you get off eBay are hit and miss.
People with scratched screens will disagree with you.
People who are sensible with their money will agree with me.
Have you tried a good screen protector yourself? What brand?
There is a large difference in terms of clarity and durability between cheapo ones and proper ones. If you can't see the difference, good for you. It's a bit like how some people are perfectly happy with ipod earphones while others go for something that sounds a lot better. It doesn't make the ipod earphones good, it just means you're easily satisfied.
I don't agree with this "large difference in quality". They will both be made in the same factory I can almost guarantee you. They will be similar if not the same in terms of durability, clarity or whatever other metric you want to throw in. They are not and never will be worth even close to $10. I have tried many over the years, mainly mobile phone protectors but more recently gtab protectors, and very rarely if ever need any more than one for an entire year. Perhaps I don't throw my devices around or mistreat it like some who need a bulk of screen protectors? Take care of your phone and your cheapo protectors will more than do the job. Don't waste your money on unnecessarily expensive accessories at inflated prices when, in this instance, cheap will do the job just as well as the snake oil gold plated variety.
I'm not sure why you mention headphones considering (a) I am only referring to this particular item, (b) just because expensive is deemed better quality for one particular item, doesn't mean that equates to every other single item on the planet.
Have you tried a good screen protector yourself? What brands are you basing your statements on?
There's a difference between a $10 screen protector from an aussie retailer or mass-market companies like Belkin, and a $15 screen protector from a company like 3M, SGP, Martin Fields, etc. The $10 protector from a shop is more than likely a repackaged $1 ebay protector.
It's not just durability - it's screen clarity, feel, fit, and ease of installation. Cheap screen protectors frequently fail on those four points.
Headphones? Because it's a very valid analogy. Just because you cannot see the difference between a $1 ebay screen protector and a $15 3M/SGP/MF screen protector, doesn't mean there is no difference.
The ones I buy don't have brands, they are generic unbranded pieces of plastic, the only difference from the branded ones is, well, the branding. There is no other difference. It's a piece of plastic. Just because you see some sort of imagined difference doesn't mean there is one.
Ease of installation? It's a piece of plastic. Are you looking for a 10 page booklet on how to install it? The cheap ones I buy come with a cover, back and front, plus a cleaning cloth. What else is required? All this for a dollar, or even less, delivered.
Durability? The cheap ones for 0.99c last me a year or even the duration of the device I buy, becasue I don't throw my devices around like some. Perhaps others should start taking care of the products they own.
Furthermore I have not mentioned anything to do with any other product so I have no idea why you are suggesting some sort of analogy with other products. I am talking about this product, this piece of plastic. I certainly haven't equated that to every other product on the market so I'd ask that you do not do this yourself. Because that would be a grossly incorrect assumption to make. Have you ever purchased monster cables by any chance?
Just because you have paid $15 for a 3M branded piece of plastic worth $0.99c doesn't mean you got value for money or that's it's worth anything more than $0.99c.
So you've only ever bought unbranded ones. How would you know whether or not there really is a difference?
It's a piece of plastic. NASA's team of scientists working on this isn't going to change that.
I rest my case. You've never tried good screen protectors and are simply assuming that they're all exactly the same.
You can "rest your case" all you like. Don't make assumptions. Because you might very well be very wrong.
You do realize you're the one making assumptions about more expensive screen protectors here? You might very well be very wrong.
You've just made yet another assumption. Didn't I warn you about making assumptions? I'm letting you off the hook here by not completely invalidating your argument. You're going to look very silly if I tell you have used many different screen protectors of varying price. So I won't say that, it's too much fun to keep your last argument alive.
The ones I buy don't have brands, they are generic unbranded pieces of plastic, the only difference from the branded ones is, well, the branding.
And have I always bought generic unbranded pieces of plastic? Please keep telling the story of my entire purchase life because clearly you know it better than I do. Naturally. I bring up the word "assumptions" yet again.
I asked you what brands you've tried, you specifically replied with the above. Why were you unable to answer that simple question, instead preferring to beat around the bush?
You're making the assumption that all expensive screen protectors are nothing more than rebranded cheap screen protectors. What were you saying about assumptions?
Do you realize that it actually is possible that your assumption could be … wrong?
There are more people in the world than you. Not everything is about you. Just because you have used a good cheap screen protector, doesn't mean that every single cheap screen protector out there is the same quality as a good expensive one. Remember, just because you paid $15 for a screen protector doesn't mean you bought a good one.
Oh wait. Perhaps you're simply a troll. Enjoy your cheap screen protectors then. Have a nice weekend.
I'm not going to tell you what I have used in the past because it is irrelevant. It is irrelevant because you have already made your mind up. So I'm not interested in convincing you one way or another. Think whatever the heck you like. I thought you would take the hint above, but obviously that hint was far too subtle. I'll say it plain and simply, perhaps you will understand now: I HAVE USED MANY DIFFERENT SCREEN PROTECTORS OF VARYING PRICE. Didn't I say that above? Oh yes I did. You make assumptions about my purchase history so I'm not interested in "proving" my point. Am I going to recite a bunch of name brands to you that I have used? No I'm not because I don't spend time remembering the brands of pieces of plastic I used many years ago. And it is many years ago because I learnt my lesson by originally buying expensive pieces of plastic, that did the exact same job as the $0.99cent equivalent. So don't preach to me about how your NASA based plastic solutions are infinitely better and worth 15 times the value of a cheap substitute I can buy off ebay, because it's absolute BS.
Your second point, how much different can they be? Please tell me how much they differ. You statement "There is a large difference in terms of clarity and durability" <- go ahead and prove it. And please don't give me anecdotal evidence. Prove to everyone that there is a vast difference between a $15 screen protector and a $0.99cent cheapie. I am extremely eager and await your peer reviewed scientific evidence.
For goodness sakes, think about it for a second, or even think about it for a minute. Think logically. Do you think there is some magical factory that has so much higher level processes that produce these fantastic $15 screen protectors than your cheap backyard ebay cheapie? It's almost laughable if you didn't believe it to be true.
Here, let me introduce you to the business world where you can sell the exact same item for ten times the value it is actually worth, and nine times the profit, if you can convince people it's worth it.
What you also neglected to see is that this company in this thread also fits them so that comes at a price when you are in store. Thus the price is not of the item alone, it is more than one price input.
Your third point: I don't make assumptions, I try to think with some sort of logical sound reasoning. You're stuck on your "well it's more expensive so it must be better" model. Here, I have some sand in Egypt I want to sell you.
Fourth point: It's your prerogative if you want to waste your money pointlessly. And there are plenty of you around, because companies survive off gullible people buying 10 times overprices accessories for mobile phones and the like. Wake up and smell the coffee. You don't need to spend huge amounts of money to get good screen protectors.
Last point: You come on here vigorously defending a throw away post and you call me a troll? Ha. What a strange thing to say. I think you are simply trying to justify your own silly over priced spending habits because someone has called you out on them. Wake up. Just because you are spending vast amounts of pointless cash on over priced items does not mean that others are not getting the same items and sensibly saving their cash. How do you feel now? Throw your cash away.
You're making the assumption that I have not tried cheap screen protectors.
Be careful with assumptions as you can be wrong.
Just like you, I have used many different screen protectors of varying price. Calm down now, no need to shout.
As I said before, perhaps you're just easily satisfied. It is entirely possible that you can't see the difference, just like how some people find stock iphone earbuds perfectly fine. There's nothing wrong with that. It just doesn't make the cheap option "as good as" a more expensive option.
As I've said before, expensive does not automatically mean good. It is also possible that the mysterious expensive ones you've tried (and repeatedly refuse to name) are simply expensive low-quality ones.
I have first-hand experience with cheap screen protectors not being cut correctly, peeling off easily, bubbling easily, and having poor clarity - and so have many others on the net. If you could bother doing a google search, you'll find many others with the same opinion.
Your second point, how much different can they be? Please tell me how much they differ.
Are you aware that there are many different grades of plastic in existence? There is no one magical roll of film that every single manufacturer in the world buys.
You statement "There is a large difference in terms of clarity and durability" <- go ahead and prove it.
Haha, that's so very easy. Pity you're not here. I've bought many cheap screen protectors before. The cheap glossy ones I've bought are very reflective, show fingerprints more readily, and are not as optically clear. They also scratch easily. The anti-glare ones are the worst - All the cheap ones I've tried create a rainbow effect and affect screen sharpness. SGP's Ultra Optics is one of the few anti-glare screen protectors that have no rainbow effect.
I look forward to your peer-reviewed scientific evidence that proves that all good expensive screen protectors are exactly the same as cheap 99c ebay screen protectors.
What, you have no evidence?
Heh.
All it takes to definitively disprove your assumption that all expensive screen protectors are the same as cheap ones is evidence of one single cheap screen protector that affects screen quality more than a good expensive one. Do you agree?
BTW just to be clear, I define cheap as those 99c for 3 screen protectors. Expensive would be $5-8 each. With cheap ones, you're more than likely to get a poor quality one. With a good expensive one, you know what you're getting will be good.
I have not made any assumptions of you. Anything you see is in your head. Meanwhile you are making assumptions of me and I don't appreciate it. You are wrong. Don't assume.
No need to shout? I made it plainly obvious I have. It was perfectly clear. But you only see what you want to see.
It's possible that you do not see that cheap brands can deliver the same as expensive brands, and there is nothing wrong with that. if you are happy spending copious amounts for something you can have for a 10th of the price then that is fine. Just because you elect to go down this route does not invalidate the cheaper brands.
"As I've said before, expensive does not automatically mean good. It is also possible that the mysterious expensive ones you've tried (and repeatedly refuse to name) are simply expensive low-quality ones."
You assume expensive = good. bzzzt! Wrong. You and this assumption are quite simply wrong. It's possible that the mysterious expensive brands you are purchasing are the exact same as the cheap ebays ones. I don't really honestly think you know any difference between the two.
"I have first-hand experience with cheap screen protectors not being cut correctly, peeling off easily, bubbling easily, and having poor clarity - and so have many others on the net. If you could bother doing a google search, you'll find many others with the same opinion."
What is it with you? I asked you not to post anecdotal evidence yet you seem to think this is fine. Just because you think that a bunch of people on the net, that you have seen to have negative experiences with cheaper products, espousing their negative experiences warrants writing off all cheaper products, doesn;t mean cheaper products are not as good, or even better than the "rip off products" you use.
I fyou are using google as your metric then God help us all.
"Are you aware that there are many different grades of plastic in existence? There is no one magical roll of film that every single manufacturer in the world buys."
Are you aware this is a screen protector and not something developed by NASA? Just because there are different grades of plastic for various different applications does not mean significant differences in the product we discuss here. Again, please shopw me your peer reviewed evidence to suggest there is any difference whatsoever in the name brand products you so vigorously defend vs ebay cheapies. Once again I ask you to show me this evidence other than this anedotal "just google" type evidence. Laughable!
"The cheap glossy ones I've bought are very reflective"
You can buy glossy or matte. Sorry to break it to you, they are the options. I have bought, recently, very cheap glossy protectors and they are absolutely brilliant. Your expensive protectors don't stop fingerprints. Am I seriously discussing this rubbish? Seriously. SGP's are over priced as are many of their other accessories for unwitting consumers. Yes, let's buy a power adapter replacement for $60. They are definitely worth that. I have had cheap matte screen protectors and do not see "rainbows" or any other such rubbish.
"I look forward to your peer-reviewed scientific evidence that proves that all good expensive screen protectors are exactly the same as cheap 99c ebay screen protectors."
I ask you once again to stand by the claims you have made:
"There is a large difference in terms of clarity and durability"
Show me evidence of this. And not anecdotal subbish. The problem is you can't because you have no idea of it. You are stuck trying to justify your expensive purchases that people buy for a tenth or a fifteenth of the price. How do you feel?
Clearly you have evidence. Look at the product, look at both the expensive and cheap varieties side by side. Tell me there is a 15th of a difference worth that difference in price. Absolutely BS, because there is no difference.
"All it takes to definitively disprove your assumption that all expensive screen protectors are the same as cheap ones is evidence of one single cheap screen protector that affects screen quality more than a good expensive one. Do you agree?"
Re-read your question, it makes no sense. Perhaps you need to re-word? But if I take a guessat what you have said, I would say that I'll re-state your (silly) original statement that "just because a product is more expensive means it is better". if you are going to make generalisations then I will also make them. What is good for the goose.
"BTW just to be clear, I define cheap as those 99c for 3 screen protectors. Expensive would be $5-8 each. With cheap ones, you're more than likely to get a poor quality one. With a good expensive one, you know what you're getting will be good."
Typical. So now you would like to redefine and shift the goal posts. Just typical.
"With a good expensive one, you know what you're getting will be good."
This is just so incredibly naive it's unbelievable that some people still think this way. I have no words to express my utter dismay at comments like this.
Wow, I'm so glad I don't know you in real life. You sure seem like the type of person I'd like to avoid at a party. Obviously everything you think is 100% correct and there is absolutely no other way to see it.
You assume expensive = good. bzzzt!
The first thing you quoted was me saying "As I've said before, expensive does not automatically mean good."
Think about what that means before trying to drop pandering comments.
I asked you not to post anecdotal evidence yet you seem to think this is fine.
So it's fine for you to use your anecdotal evidence but it isn't fine for me to do so?
Where is your peer-reviewed evidence that all screen protectors are made of the exact same material?Can't come up with anything? Why? Do you only have your anecdotal evidence there?
[waffle waffle waffle]
Once again I ask you to show me this evidence other than this anedotal "just google" type evidence. Laughable!
And yet again, I ask you to show me this evidence other than "I tried an unnameable expensive screen protector and it was the same as a 99c ebay one".
Typical. So now you would like to redefine and shift the goal posts. Just typical.
Can you explain exactly what shifted?I'm so glad I don't know you in real life. Please send my apologies to all your workmates. It must be quite a pain working with you as your opinions are always 100% correct and there are absolutely no other possibilities ever.
BTW, you might find this thread interesting. Particularly everyone's comments on fitment problems with cheap ebay screen protectors.
You go to parties? I would pick you for someone who would vigorously argue with someone on the internet over a piece of plastic on a saturday night. But I could be wrong. Obviously you subscribe to the simple and flawed model of "just because it's more expensive it must be better". Bzzzt, wrong. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about waking you up to the reality of life; just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's worse.
"The first thing you quoted was me saying "As I've said before, expensive does not automatically mean good.""
And I've told you several times before, just because it is cheaper does not mean that the quality and function is not at least as good or that in fact it may even be better. Can you understand this now? Think about w2hat you say before dropping meaningless comments.
"Can't come up with anything? Why? Do you only have your anecdotal evidence there?"
Right, so you have nothing to back up your statements, just more silly anecdotal evidence. Are you related to Lionel Hutz by any chance?
"And yet again, I ask you to show me this evidence other than "I tried an unnameable expensive screen protector and it was the same as a 99c ebay one"."
Again, you have nothing. What are you arguing for when you have nothing to back up your statement? Have news for you: you are getting ripped off on your $15 screen protectors. How do you feel now?
"I'm so glad I don't know you in real life. Please send my apologies to all your workmates. It must be quite a pain working with you as your opinions are always 100% correct and there are absolutely no other possibilities ever."
You're arguing over a piece of plastic. Get a reality check on the individual YOU are.
"BTW, you might find this thread interesting. Particularly everyone's comments on fitment problems with cheap ebay screen protectors."
Ah yes more anecdotal evidence! Thanks Lionel.
With everything in life and all your purchases there are always shonky people in the market place. You need to go in informed, make an assessment and purchase. There is no guarantee you won't get defect items of a more expensive brand also. Just because a few have an issue with a cheaper purchase does not automatically mean that all of them are like this and that all of them are instantly of lesser quality. I'm surprised you think this, actually, no, I'm not surprised there are people like you around because you are the ones rip off companies sell their over priced items to.
Look at the last posts in this thread from Zavoc, he regrets taking off his previous one for this one. But hold on, aren't the more expensive ones supposed to be better quality? eug, you have now plussed a screen protector that has water marks and leaves bubbles. Yes, that's right, a supposed better quality item! Ah don't we all love anecdotal evidence.
Care to revise your statements now?
Normally $10 was inc delivery, If customer purchase from store we provide installation.
Looks like the site has been ozbargained. The pages are taking forever to load :(

Hi tchung
I am not able to fix this issue at moment, system only design to support one discount rule, if you already enter the discount coupon code you can't apply reward point.
So i cannot use my reward point on top of this coupon? Is it possible to order this way if i order by calling you guys?
This offer apply online only, we don't take order over the phone.
Why is GST 90 cents on a price of $1.09?
it is the gst before the 80% off. I don't know how the rep is going to fix it otherwise they have to forward 90 cents to ato and keep only $1.09 for themselves. LOL
Hi alvian
Thanks for report the error on GST calculation, I have adjusted the formula on our system, should display at correct GST amount.
Thanks!

Thanks
Hi

Got one for my LG P500 and my Motorola Xoom.
Thanks mobileciti.are they 'ebay' quality?
Bought one for my Galaxy tab 10.1..
I regret taking off my old one, the one they sent has these strange marks on it. It resembles water marks but I can't get rid of it. I've got photos if you want.What can you do it's cheap.
Edit: Seriously considering taking it off.. it's really annoying
Edit 2: disgusting quality. I can't get rid of the bubbles on the edges.
are the samsung tab ones original samsung brand ones (assuming they even make them?)
and also any desire HD ones?
