Revainrating 5 out of 5

Install well and it should treat you right.

Edit 1/27/19: After some use I wanted to add that the edges of this tread are abrasive. On the sides it's not really a problem for me due to my phone case, but when I swipe from top to bottom for my notifications my finger can easily feel/scratch the top edge. I'd rather not, but it doesn't cause usability issues and doesn't wobble when in use. At first I had to wade through a flooded river of junk and fake screen protectors to even find this. one. Obviously crappy fake protectors and cases are big business these days. I ended up looking for companies I know and trust to make these products. They even fake reviews of legitimate things to destroy their reviews. I haven't had this on my phone for a long time. I'll stop by if I change my mind, but I think it's cool. I have experience installing soft protectors. Bringing it to perfection is not easy, but it is possible. When you're done, you'll see moisture for a while. You have to give it time to dry. You absolutely must wait all night, not use your phone and fold the curved sides once it is completely dry. I highly recommend having this done by an experienced person if necessary. The video is helpful and worth watching even if you have done it before. Realize that you have to go in there as if you were performing an operation. Clean the area, have a helper ready with a flashlight and a spray bottle, wash with warm water and dish soap, and air dry your hands only or you will transmit the particles. If you have used a phone before, first wipe the electronics, then wipe the oil with a cloth, and then remove even the smallest speck of dust with really good light. Wet your fingers with the spray, then with the screen protector, touching the phone/underside of the screen protector as little as possible. And finally, make sure you align the top perfectly before letting it touch the phone, because once it does it will go down whether you like it or not and if you take it off and try again , it will probably be bad. I think I should have just made my own video. But do all this and you will be happy. Finally, if you're expecting this screen protector to protect your screen from drops without a phone case, you're dead wrong. And glass has the same problems. In my opinion even more. No screen protector works wonders. They are soft and can be damaged, like glass which does not scratch but breaks on impact. With such a protector, I saved my screen from a brief fall onto a pointed object. It was cut but my screen was perfect. They have an almost rubbery elasticity that helps absorb the energy of a fall. Throwing your phone in a 17-key bag isn't the protection you're looking for. But it helps protect the screen. This prevents oil stains and streak problems. And if you can put it on without blisters or adhesion issues, I think you'll be happy.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
