Just ordered mine. That glare is maddening when I’m trying to back up into the garage at 3-5pm.

Installed my Spigen glas.tR.Slim this morning. The matte finish is good and the installation is easy. Not a perfect fit. Not knowing that I started at the top right corner and let it lay as it did. There’s a gap at the bottom but the brightness sensors are completely covered at the top so I think that may be the preferred installation? Honestly surprised by the price given the product quality and packaging. Great value.

Which is the better option, the spigem or the one that twwraps sells? Cost wise you get 3 screens from twwraps, but any guess on quality and/or sensor cut outs?

Weird that it is $50 on their site because I ordered this same thing on Amazon from the Spigen store for $30...
Their stuff is always cheaper on Amazon, I've bought their phone cases for years.

I have the TWRAPS protectors and they had a shiny black trim around them, which I removed, since I didn’t like it. They also have cut outs for all of the sensors.

The protectors work well, but they are a plastic film so they don’t feel the same as touching the actual glass….they have a rough/grainy feel to them. Based on this, I may eventually upgrade the center screen to glass and leave the plastic on the other two screens since they are never touched.

I ordered these from EV Sportline. Seems like a good deal - 2 sets of 3 screen protectors (driver/instrument cluster; center; rear) - for $30. Will install after picking up my truck this week.

The Spigen is only 1 center screen protector for the center for either $50 or $30, I think?
Yeah me too but have you received yours yet? Now it sound like they won’t ship until towards the end of the month based on chat messages.

I thought they were delivered Friday per my tracking information, but it was just the 4 Jack pad pucks and not the screen protectors. I think they’re still pre-order and are indeed supposed to ship later this month.

Yes, but it's tempered glass. Many of the 3 pack products are a film.
Ah yes, good point. Thanks for pointing that out.

I mostly just want anti-glare. I don’t think I personally need tempered glass. The center screen isn’t getting dropped or anything like a smartphone. From my smartphone experience, I’ve found the tempered glass protectors a little too thick for my taste, but who knows in this case? Maybe I’ll hate the films and join the glass club. Definitely starting with film though. It’s nice to have options.

You are right about the impact aspect. For me, the tempered glass makes sense for the center screen due to the resilience to scratching from dust, and the FAR superior touch feel, especially for a screen I touch multiple times a day.

I put mine on today and it's only moderately off center...I'll take a picture in bright light later today but it was very easy to put on.

To me the glass style is so much easier to put on than the older type so that's a big plus to a hamfisted troglodyte like me.
