I know you'll probably start a thread when you get them, but I'm in for two glass screen protectors with the classic "dot matrix" blurb. Cheers!

o.k., well besides getting sick from eating salad, i received some glass screens.
Here you can see the difference in colour:
Image
top - original,
middle - repo cheap plastic (still with protective covering on)
Bottom - glass

So this is why I have been having a nightmare time trying to match the grey colour!!
Anyway, thanks go out to MILO and FLEDER for sending me an original screen and yes they are the same colour!!.

i'll going to get the glass ones stripped and ready for printing.
Cheers,
Dom.

Honestly they all look pretty similar in color. It doesn't bother me if its just a little off. Don't go crazy over it. You're doing a great job.

:shock:
How hard did you hit that??

Are the others polycarbonate or acrylic? I think the original lens is polycarbonate and is a lot tougher than acrylic.

I think the original one will break before the acrylic one. I am not going to hit anything else with a hammer, well not today. :D

I'm interested in purchasing a glass screen with a plain grey border. Who do I contact? Sorry tried to read the entire thread but not sure who to speak to. Thanks for your help!
