Free Replacement for Installation Errors — Screen Protectors & Lens Protectors (valid for 30 days from the date of delivery, U.S. Customers Only)

We understand that mistakes can happen during the installation process. We offer one (1) free replacement for your Sapphire X screen protector or Sapphire lens protector if you fail to install them properly. Please contact customer service at contact@shellrus.com to request a paid shipping label and return the undamaged item to us. Replacements will be processed and shipped within 3-4 business days of receiving your returned item, and your returned item will be sent back to our factory for refurbishment. Please note: Free replacements are not available for damaged products as they cannot be refurbished. Customers outside of the U.S. are not eligible for free replacements. 

Steps:

    1. Carefully pry up the screen protector with a razor blade, be sure to pry the screen protector from its bottom corners, as slowly as possible. We won’t process the replacement if the protector is cracked.
    2. Sanitize the screen protector, pack it back in the original shipping box (or any small rigid box you can find), please make sure the screen protector won’t crack during shipping. We won’t process the replacement if the protector is cracked.
    3. Print and attach the return label on the shipping box and drop it off at any USPS office, we will send the replacement 3-4 days after the returned package is delivered. (Please email: contact@shellrus.com for a pre-paid return label)

 

No Customer Warranty

All Shellrus Sapphire products are guaranteed 99.99% pure synthetic sapphire and covered for any damage incurred during shipping to you (please see above for details on replacing items damaged during shipping).

Additionally, we guarantee our sapphire products have scratch protection of a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means that glass, keys, rocks, sand, and most of the other items responsible for scratching phone screens will not be able to scratch your Shellrus Sapphire screen or camera lens protector.

We do not provide any kind of warranty for damaged sapphire once it is safely received by you. 

Sapphire's unique scratch-resistance doesn't necessarily prevent cracks and other breakage. This is because as gemstones get higher on the Mohs scale, they become more scratch-resistant but they also become more brittle. Diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale for instance, but they are more brittle than sapphire. Your Shellrus Sapphire products are more scratch-resistant than any other currently available smartphone accessory — but like all screen and lens protectors they are vulnerable to phone drops and impact breakage. It is highly recommended to use your Sapphire X Screen Protectors and Sapphire Lens Protectors in combination with a phone case. Combined with a good case, there is no better way to protect your smartphone.

That said, we understand how frustrating it can be to drop your phone or have breakage from unintended impact. We're happy to provide a 50% off discount to you if you need to make a replacement purchase for a damaged Shellrus Sapphire product. 

We would love to provide a customer warranty, but one of the things that makes your sapphire product so unique is how complex it is to manufacture. Because sapphire manufacturing costs are so high, most of what you're paying for when you buy a sapphire accessory from us is the sapphire itself.

Alternatively, screen protectors from materials like tempered glass can cost as little as $1.50 USD to produce at wholesale price. You might be paying a 2000% mark-up (or even more in some cases) in exchange for a lifetime warranty.
