Review on OMOTON SmoothArmor 9H HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Apple iPhone 8 Plus/iPhone 7 Plus - 2 Pack: Premium Protection for Enhanced Clarity by Josh Whitehead

Excellent defender; Installation method requires labor

These screen protectors seem to be very good. I disagree with all tempered glass screen protectors as the edges of the screen protectors tend to lift off the screen. Compare this to screen protectors, which (as the name suggests) are much thinner and therefore also fit tighter around the edges. The downside of foil is that it's not as stiff, not as crisp, and not as smooth. In addition, they leave fingerprints and are not easy to clean. While these screen protectors don't have a better installation method than others I've tried, they do have decent adhesion. The edges seem to stick well and don't come off as hard as the others. However, I should warn you that if you have to constantly remove the screen protector from your phone to remove dust etc, it will lose adhesion and you will most likely see smudges that just won't stick. It drives me insane and usually makes me throw away my screen protector (good thing they come in a 2 pack!). So the key is to make sure this is perfectly aligned and that the screen is as clear as a human can get. Use a damp cloth, use a microfiber towel to dry, and most importantly, use a sticker to remove those small stains BEFORE removing the film covering the adhesive side. This causes me to think about the installation method that the guide dictates. . It tells you to use two smaller guide stickers (strips) to create the hinge. That means you attach them to the left side of the screen protector and then wrap them around the left side of the phone so they're fixed onto it. I found this method unnecessarily complicated because aligning everything and then making sure the two stickers keep that alignment just doesn't work. Instead, use the large "Dust Catcher" sticker to create a loop. It is much more stable and easier to align the protective film. Then stick one of the guides on the right side of the protective film. This gives you a grip when you pull the screen protector to stick it on the phone.
