Terrible all around.
September 5, 2019

Customer service is non existent had to put in a warranty claim in ( that was like pulling teeth) The second one is lifting up on a side and corner. I tried calling their 800 number passing the option to leave my name and each time it kept ringing and then disconnected. I called back the third time and left my name... did they call you. They didn't call me. Then I send in an email... Still waiting... Ok, so I think you are getting the idea now.

The screen protector is just okay. It will scratch and crack, when it does good luck getting a hold of anyone at Pure Gear. The Warranty - They charged my card for shipping but I never received a replacement. I tried contacting them by their email system, nothing. No way to call and talk to anyone. I recommend to stay away from this company.

This company should be banned. They sell junk and create a warranty registration that cannot be completed to get the warranty in place.
Obviously no integrity at all. Then try to contact them on the telephone Bahahahahah

If you buy anything from PureGear after reading these comments, shame on you

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE
August 29, 2019

I bought a New Samsung S10+ about 3 weeks ago and the salesman at AT&T told me to go with your product. Your product doesn't do what it says it does. I have the Liquid Glass protector on my phone and it is supposed to be scratch resistant. I put my phone in my pocket where nothing could scratch it and when I pulled out my phone, there were scratches and markings all over the screen. I went back to AT&T and the employee put two new applications on top of the older one at no cost but the scratches looked like they were wiped away but weren't. I am very unhappy about this and now my screen is $#*!ED UP. My screen looks like someone took a wood chipper to it and it IS NOT SCRATCH RESISTANT. THAT IS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

Screen protector cracked within a month and after going back to the Verizon store and having them help me file a claim, pay the $10 shipping, and with a promise from Puregear a 7-10 turnaround, Ive heard nothing. I have emailed several times with no response. Found the number *******327.

Horrible! Keep away!
August 25, 2019

I have emailed them multiple times for 5 screen protectors that I made claim for almost a month ago. And they still haven't reached out to me, nor have I received my product! They took my money right away thou! But can't reply back to my emails! I'm disputing this with my bank! I think I've waited long enough!

Poor customer service
August 24, 2019

Cracked my pure gear a screen protector. Sent in the warranty claim along with the payment for the shipping and handling 3 weeks ago. Have not received the replacement screen protector yet and customer service will not answer my inquiries. Just scratch the screen today because I had to remove the old screen protector because of glass fragments.

Don't bother buying, you won't get a replacement if you need it.

Installation is made easy, unfortunately for the screen protectors the manufacturer spent more time and money into easy installation that they missed the whole aspect of a quality product... There is no quality here, if that's what you're looking for. It is not at all good not for the $35-39 they charge at the store. Within a month or less, the edges began to peel. (The screen protector was installed at the att store where I purchased it.) I saw that they have a warranty, so I get online and start the replacement process. I pay shipping cost $10. Receive a "lovely" your product is on back order email 4 times with estimated different delivery dates. Now over a month later, still no screen protector. Forget it, and refund me my $10. I'll get on amazon an buy something better quality than this garbage for less.

Cracked in 2 weeks
August 4, 2019

I bought 2 new phones recently, both with the puregear steel screen covers. I was at verizon and the salesman asked if I wanted screen protectors. I agreed but didn't realize they were $45 each until checkout. He told me they have a lifetime warranty since I was not happy with the price. After 2 weeks BOTH screen protects on our phones cracked. I looked at the warranty and it's only for manufacture's defects, so I'm up the creek. I've had $10 screen protectors over the years which have performed better. Don't waste your money.

We got ripped off
July 23, 2019

My first cover fell off after 5 days when I took my phone out of my pocket and cracked. Had to pay the shipping, not pleased about that new one is on 2 days and falls off into my lap when I picked it up off the table. F you pure fear. Your product is absolute garbage. I just superglued the crap to my otter box and I just lodged a complaint with Verizon for carrying your inferiorly poor quality products in their stores. Maybe if we all complain to the stores they won't carry this junk anymore.

I was sucked in to buying the Pure Gear screen protectors from my local AT&T store for 4 iPhones I purchased from them. So far I had to replace 4 screen protectors because they crack for no reason. AT&T told me Pure Gear had a lifetime warranty, but they didn't tell me Pure Gear was going to charge me a $9.95 handling fee every time I needed one replaced. I wish I would have read these reviews first. These screen protectors are ABSOULUTE JUNK! I hate being ripped off, and that's how I feel. I can't believe Pure Gear hasn't had a class action suit filed against them. Or maybe they have?

$10 Shipping?
June 26, 2019

Cracked very easily. Don't waste your time getting a replacement. Found a 2-pack of better quality screen protector on amazon for the same price it costs to ship this piece of junk back.

Haven't had my phone for more than 3 months screens cracked. Spent $40 on a product that a $5 product would have done a better job. Their warranty website sucks can't remember when I purchased it or if I registered it and since I didn't or can't find it then I didn't get the $100 gift card to get my phone fixed for there inferior product.

Rip off
June 12, 2019

Have had two other screen protectors pop off and break when the protector hit the ground, I guess the phone was saved but it's a pure hassle trying to get puregear to do any warranty. I had to pay a surcharge and get my phone carrier to warranty protector. I will never buy their products again. The uploaded pic is from today when I dropped the phone on linoleum... the protector popped off.

Garbage

Second one I've purchased. Both cracked within a month. I never dropped my phone. I can't find the receipt so I'm screwed for a replacement. Bell will not honour purchase.

I filled out a warranty claim form over 2 weeks ago, and still haven't gotten my replacement. They didn't hesitate to take the money out of my account right away though. I went on their website to see if I could find a customer service number, and there isn't one! The only options they give you is to send them a message or an email. Well they are both pointless, because they won't respond to either one. I agree with some of the other reviewers, that I should have came on this page first. I will never order from them again! It's a huge ripoff. The products are kind of pricey, and they guarantee at least a one year warranty on them, but it seems impossible to get in contact with anyone to get your replacement. It's also rediculous that you have to pay the $10 shipping fee. I hope this company goes down the drain.

Crap
May 24, 2019

Screen bubbled and wouldn't go back within the first month of purchasing. Then had to pay "shipping" of $10. And found the same product for $10 at other stores. So essentially you're just buying your own replacement. Lifetime Warranty my a$$.
