Type of review

These are excellent screencaps. Follow the installation instructions to attach it and give it a day to fully install. I'm still using the first one I installed after a few months of work, gardening, etc. It shows no scratches, which really annoys me. It's easy to read the screen with the cover and I feel better wearing it without worrying about screen damage. There are 6 in the pack so they will probably last longer than this device and I don't need to buy them again but I would recommend them…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some bugs

Correct fit, easy installation, excellent quality

I was surprised by this given the negative reviews. Installation was very easy using the instructions provided (there is a link with a QR code to a youtube video explaining the installation) with no bubbles or other issues. The material seems to be similar to the old "InvisibleShield" so I would expect it to be very scratch resistant. It actually improved my display's visibility (I have a few scratches, most of which disappeared after applying the RhinoGear protection) without sacrificing touch

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not sure

The screen is very easy to install

The screen protector is a soft plastic film that is attached to the surface after activation with soapy water. The device I attached it to has a curved surface on the sides and takes some time to dry before it sticks to the curved sides. So when installing, don't expect that the parts attached to the sides will immediately contact curved surfaces. You need to wait about 10 minutes before sticking it on the curved areas. Then come back after 5-10 minutes to gently press it again. Other than…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are flaws

Be patient for GPS, finders and accessories

Installed Rhinoskin on a Garmin ApproachX40, a golf GPS that looks like a Fitbit. shown in the video. I believe all the youtube videos show how to apply Rhinoskin to a watch or fitbit with a flat case, which is relatively easy. I had to press the edges of the Rhinoskin on the curved sides of the case for a few minutes to get it to stick to the edges. It's really more of a Garmin product design that made the app more labor intensive. The Rhinoskin looks great if you take your time with the app…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Unusable features

Excellent customer service

I received my screen protector and as usual I didn't look at the online instructions. Tried to dry screen protectors. NOT CORRECT! When I spoke to a customer service representative. They offered to send a new package which arrived in a few days. They also instructed me on how to use the plastic screen on a rounded surface. I gave the plastic screen a quick squeeze at the corners and as it started to dry it stuck to the rounded surface. I actually didn't believe them when they said the little…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great and grips well.

I was skeptical at first because the HR+ has rounded edges which I thought the protector would not arrive at. Not so, a month has passed and the initial profile is becoming strong and sticking perfectly. Then today I trimmed the wall with HR+ and made two nice scratches on the screen protector but the actual screen of my device stayed perfect. Great price and lots of extra protection. A+Update: It's been six months and I've bumped my HR+ into walls etc more times than I can remember. The screen

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS (plus my tips below)!

A must for trackers that protrude from your wrist like the Approach X40/Vivosmart HR, these little guards will save you a lot of scratching troubles. They're cheap and effective, and a pack of 6 will likely last the life of your device. You install wet and you MUST follow the instructions. Yes, they're a little finicky, but they work flawlessly every time if you have a little patience. IMPORTANT: You'll need to be extra patient with an item like the Approach that has a curved screen on the…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
