Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Screen Protector Comment: This is a great little product and the installation couldn't be more fool-proof. It took me 3 minutes from opening the packaging until it was successfully applied. The product, made in Japan, has a very minimalist package and not nearly as wasteful as you'd expect if it were an American product. The English for the instructions was a little off, but still understandable. I have to say that I put it on a little off-center (I'm not a perfectionist) and since it doesn't go to the edge on a 3G iPhone, it's really not an issue. You just have to clean the phone first (with the included wipe), line it up, remove the bottom layer incrementally then firmly and smoothly apply the film, and presto!
You can't beat the price, and it's as good as what you'd get for $10 or $15 in the store. I bought two because they were so cheap, but I think almost anybody would be safe with just one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great screen protector Comment: I'm one of the most clumsy people in the world, and this item has resisted all of it. It was easy to apply, I'm not sure why so many other people had problems. It took me maybe 3 tries to get one tiny bubble out since it was bothering me, but it wasn't hard to do at all. It fits perfectly and there are absolutely no problems with the touch sensors. Everything works just great!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic screen protector! Comment: First of all, I have added an image that you can use to judge the size of the protector on an iPhone 3G. I know it's hard to see a clear protector in a small photo, but in the image my iPhone is in this case, which perfectly covers the edges of the screen protector on all sides, so there's no chance of pulling up the corners or getting dust, etc. around the edges of the protector. There's a cut out semi-circle for the Home button.
The protector itself is much sturdier than screen protectors you may have used in the past (for an iPod or Palm, for example). It's not the flimsy, flexible stuff. For example, if a standard screen protector that you'd get at a big box store was the equivalent flexibility of a sheet of notebook paper, then this one would be the equivalent of a business card.
The upshot of this is that you don't have to worry about corners folding or bubbles forming during application. You can position it very precisely before applying, and then when you apply, you get a PERFECT result, straight with no bubbles whatsoever.
The fact that it's covered on both sides is very nice, so if you feel like it (though it's not really necessary because of its stiffness), you can use a credit card to press it down as you apply the protector without scratching the protector surface with the card. To be honest though, it doesn't seem to scratch that easy anyway. It's FAR less prone to scratches than any other screen protector I have ever used.
So you get a high quality, crystal clear, bubble-free, scratch resistant protector that will easily outlast a normal screen protector, and will probably outlast a PACK of normal screen protectors. And you basically get it for the cost of shipping.
It's a no-brainer. Get it and thank me later. :-)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Horrible Comment: The protector is advertised as covering the whole phone but the actual protector only covers the touch screen area. Had to get another screen protector that actually covered the whole phone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Product Comment: Excellent product. Nice feel and fits exactly. Its a little confusing to put on though. However the seller has a video on youtube to guide you. The link is in the receipt. **** I highly recommend watching the video and following the instructions****. I would not have been able to figure out how to put this on without watching the video. Use a credit card or similar-sized cardboard piece to drive out bubbles as you put the screen in. Managed to put it on with only a tiny corner bubble.
It does take patience and skill to make sure you put this without bubbles. If you do get one (as I did, or it is slightly misaligned as I did too) you can pull back the sheet halfway and start again. Of course, once it is on, you cannot pull it back i imagine. People who are complaining about bubbles either did not watch the video or were not patient/skillful. I imagine that would be a problem with any other screen as well.
The plastic has a nice sheen to it. It feels smooth on the fingers. I prefer this feel to the original cover. It does tend to smudge a little, but somehow the smudges are not visible when the phone is in use (the light seems to hide them). All in all, this is a much better cover than the original that comes with the phone.
