Customer Review
Initial impressions are positive in regards to feel, clarity, and sensitivity. Install has an issue.
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
Tried this after a glass cover came without the camera hole punched out and made me realize they use a big patch of very visible glue where the finger print sensor is. I didn't want to try a non glass cover as all the ones I had used in the past were tpm that feels a bit sticky, not smooth like glass.
Initial impressions:
Likes:
- You don't notice it is installed unless you are looking for it (like at the edges or the camera cutout). No big glue spot like on glass options for this model.
- Feels smooth like glass, not rough and sticky like the plastic protectors I've tried in the past.
- Install tools made installation mostly painless (but not complete) vs what might have happened without them.
- Touch (with the sensitivity settings turned on to high for screen protectors) works just as well as it did before the cover. Fingerprints set without the cover were still working but I had to press harder. I re-registered them and they now all work just as quickly, with the same level of touch, as they did before the cover.
Don't like:
- Had number of bubbles at the edges of the screen and no trick would push them out. Only way I as able to fix it was to use the harder plastic sheet from the cover to pry up the edge a bit to be able to use the tool to smooth it down without trapped air. The instructions need to be improved about how to deal with the bubbles instead of pretending that following the instructions will not result in any or that they can be worked out with the tool. They can be corrected but they need to show folks how to do it (without getting finger oils under the protector).
- Marketing claims here about it being any less susceptible to finger oil collection are false as is the stunningly stupid "explosion proof". Bubble free is also false in the implication that you won't get any on install but would be correct if they would include the instructions on how to properly remove the ones you do get.
Don't Know Yet:
- Will the edges start to peel up as was the case with the old tpm films I used a long time ago?
- Will it help with glass break risk? Not sure I will ever know this but I suspect that this will do a very good job at protecting it against all the micro scratches it would get, but will not do nearly as much as a glass cover would do in terms of protecting the screen from breaking from an impact.
