Review on πŸ“± IQ Shield Galaxy S9 Plus Screen Protector (2-Pack): Case Friendly Anti-Bubble Clear Film by Mark Loebis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than Spigen and Utech.

Received my s9+ today and used IQ Shield immediately. Here are my observations: Pros: I absolutely hate the feel of PET plastic and the orange peel effect of wet screen protectors, but finding a functional tempered glass screen protector for curved screens is a nightmare, so I gave it a go. I have to say that this screen protector feels a lot less sticky and has a slight orange peel effect (not visible unless you're specifically looking for it in the light). I have applied over 100 screen protectors to date (glass/dry apply, wet apply etc) and IQ SHIELD was one of the easiest! Here's a tip: don't use too much soap, don't use too little, just dampen the foil, don't let it soak and squeeze the water out at the edges. First class customer service! They simply sent me a new screen protector back because they realized the one they sent me earlier was too small for the screen. or stuck water to start with and my profile looked finished in 30 minutes! Have patience with edges. They don't stick right away because they're meant to be. Don't leave a 2 star review because your edges won't stick within 5 minutes. Leave the phone alone for 15, then gently press the edges when the screen protector is almost dry. They will continue to rise, but just gently squeeze them every 15-30 minutes. They will take root after a few tries. Mine finally stuck perfectly after 3 hours. Cons: The included microfiber cloth is a disaster! it leaves more lint than it cleans! It drove me to the point of paranoia trying to get every lint off the screen. I strongly encourage them to put dust removal stickers on their future releases! It took me over 100 wipes to finally get rid of all the dust and lint. The fit could be better, especially the vertical fit. I think too much of the top is left open. Also, I'm betting the movie detaches from the edge controls because I'm pushed against the edge of the screen every time I try to access the edge menu. I want it to wrap around the edges a little more.
