Piece of Crap
January 9, 2021

Don't waste your money. I purchased a puregear screen protector for $50 when I got my new phone at the Verizon store. Within a week one of the corners started coming away from the phone. I went back to Verizon and they were out of stock and told me to come back when they were in stock... or I could contact the manufacturer for a replacement. I contacted Puregear for the replacement and they wanted $12 for shipping. I decided to wait. I've been back to Verizon twice and they are still out of stock. By my third visit Verizon says I have to get the replacement from the manufacturer. In the meantime the screen protector has come away further and one of the edges has chipped... I can only imagine that happened when it was in my purse. If the screen protector cannot withstand my purse what is the point of having it. And to pay $12 more based on my exor a piece of crap Why would I pay $12 more for another piece of crap

If you happen to buy one of their products, good luck with getting a timely response if you submit a Warranty Claim by email! I certainly will not be buying any of their products in the future. If you want further proof of their poor level of standing behind their products and lack of Customer response, read their review by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Biggest Scam ever!
November 17, 2022

Verizon sold me a pure gear screen protector with lifetime replacement for $64.99, when I went to replace my broken screen protector at Verizon I was told I had to go online to order it. Once online they tell you there is a $12.95 shipping charge! The item is WEIGHTLESS and does not cost $12.95 to ship. I went on Amazon and bought a pack of 3 screen protectors for $8.99 with free shipping.
DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS, These are no better than Amazon and Verison will not give you a refund.

Terrible
September 23, 2021

Do Not waste your money on the Puregear Screen Saver! I bought this Puregear screen protector for %55 with my new Iphone 11 I also bought the heavy duty case all to protect my phone I had the first one install al Verizon where I bought the phone in Oct 2020. The screen protector started bubbling at the edges not long after I got it and by Jan 2021 it was almost half way across the top of the screen. I contacted Puregear as it had a lifetime warranty and they did replace it BUT I had to pay $12 shipping. Now the second one has done the same thing I contacted them and they did send another one but it is defective also bubbled from the start. I ordered a tempered glass screen saver from ebay for $5 and it installed great no bubbles.

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?

Overpriced and if you need a replacement good luck getting one because the support email is fake. I haven't been able to contact them for well over a week now.

$10 Shipping?

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.

Screen protector cracked within a month… and their "free" replacement costs $12 in S&H when local Cellular Sales replaces and installs for $10. Won't ever buy Pure Gear again. It's pure trash.

DO NOT purchase their products! I was one of the many naive buyers to believe AT&T employee would wisely advise me on accessories only to find out that I purchased an over priced crappy product from a company that does not stand behind their products. I paid $39.00 for each screen protector which was damaged after only 4 days of usage and keep in mind, my previous one lasted 7 SEVEN years without a single scratch! It takes over ONE HOUR to register their product on line prior to filing a complain AND THEY REQUEST extra $10 for shipping costs! It costs only $9 to purchase another product with free shipping from anywhere else so I rather not even go through the time consuming of pursuing anything further with this company. There are many complaints already filed against this company with the BBB so I think is best to stay away from Pure Gear until they recognize and better up themselves.

Note: It is hard to see the evidence on pic attached due to glare

Do not buy, poor quality!
September 5, 2019

I bought 2 of these seven protectors for our Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus, from our local AT&T store. Immediately, the finger print scanner wouldn't work. I figured it needed to adhere to the screen, so we waited 4 days (plenty of time). Still never worked. Called Pure Gear customer service. I had to show proof of purchase (obviously) and they would send out 2 new replacements, as they think the got a bad batch. OK... Replacement comes in. But for wrong device. I've been calling them for over a week and emailed them many times. No reply. Other than registering on their web site.
In the meantime, we kept the original (non-working fingerprint) protector on till we got the replacement. Writing a day, we got cracks on Both, even though they never dropped. I works never but from these people again! STAY Away! I didn't add any pictures, as it was on the phone for as long as I could stand it, then I removed them and threw Them out.
I've been trying to call and email them, but no one replied or returned and phone calls.

I bought my screen protector for my new phone from Verizon. I sent in the warranty. It cracked 4 months later and I tried to reach the company for 6 weeks with no response. I filled out in for on line to have them contact me 8 times and left messages 10 times. I can't believe this company can even stay in business I pain 44.99 for absolutely NOTHING! NEVER EVER BUT ANYTHING FROME THIS PLACE! I tried complaining to Verizon because I feel they should stand behind products they sell in their store and they could care less.

When I paid close to 90 bucks for a lifetime warranty, I assumed Pure-gear would be a bit more helpful locating my name or email in their system (because I'd lost my warranty info and never asked anything about shipping!) Instead, I received a boiler-plate response from Alexis Medina which did not even address my question (below.) It's a scam. Stay away.

I paid 65.00 for this junk screen protector for my S22 Ultra on 7/8/22 on 7/28/22 I did drop my phone and it busted the protector. I've had many screen protectors over the years and never busted the screen protector. Yes it did protect my phones screen but damn this thing shattered on a bull$hit drop. Well I used the warranty and you have to pay 11.95 in shipping just to get a new one. So received the new one around 8/12/22 and today the 24th I notice a edge shattered. I haven't dropped my phone at all and have been extra cautious because clearly these screen protectors are garbage. Don't recommend they're GARBAGE especially when these a$$holes are charging money for shipping and we're getting stiffed because these screen protectors are $hit. I've gotten better screen protectors off Amazon for next to nothing. I'm done not paying another 11.95 for $hit. Stay clear of puregear 360 steel overpriced garbage.

Poor Customer Service
February 10, 2021

My wife and I purchased these screen protectors at our Sprint retailer when we got our new phones. When I read the instructions on the packaging it stated we did not need to register our product and to simply reach out to them for a warranty claim within one year of purchase.

My wife's phone screen cracked and I reached out to customer support. I was quickly told that if I did not register my product that there was nothing they could to help me. As I was formulating my response and feedback for their customer service department my chat window was "closed due to inactivity". That was infuriating. It deleted my entire message and I was not able to recover it.

If you happen to buy this product, search for the web site in TINY TINY font and do everything you can to register your protector IMMEDIATELY.

Terrible customer service. Quality of screen protector is mildly better than one purchased on amazon for $7.00. The ONLY reason we bought these was because our Sprint store had a deal for activation credit if we purchased them.

I recommend avoiding this company. Spend your money elsewhere.

Had to get a replacement and was charged almost $12 for standard 5-7 Day shipping.

And good luck making a claim for a broken screen on your phone.
I'll never buy any of their products again.
