3.0 out of 5 starsAwful installation and feels cheap
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024
After years of manufacturers producing screen protectors, you'd think it would be tablestakes to get a decent one. Overall, this is a meh screen protector and decent value for its money, but you might end up using 2 of the 3 to fix the issues of your first attempt if you botch the installation. It's odd to complain about a screen protector, but it's small annoyances and poor product quality that I think future consumers would care about.
1. The box label tells you that the installation instructions are inside and you need to open the box to read them, which is annoying that you render useless the container to store remaining screen protectors.
2. Once you tear the box open, despite the label on the outside being in English, there are no English instructions inside.
3. There are English instructions on the outside of the box, but they don't mention the use of the guiding stickers at all, suggesting that the instructions are incomplete.
4. The box includes 3 sets of a screen protector, small wet wipe, small paper towel, a "dust-absorber" (aka a sticker), and 3 more "guide sticher"s (aka guide stickers).
5. Like most installations, you wipe your screen with wet and dry wipes, remove lint with the sticker, and use the stickers to guide the placement of the protector. But the guide stickers would not adhere enough to the protector to suspend it, making placement incredibly difficult. Other manufacturers would pre-attach these stickers already and they'd actually do the job.
6. Once installed, tons of air bubbles appeared. Edit: while they stayed for several days, they disappeared for me.
7. The actual screen protector simply seems less durable. It feels made of a cheaper material than other protectors, thinner, more pliable.
8. Amazon asked to review the anti-glare. I didn't see this in their marketing copy at all, but if it was I don't notice any anti-glare effect.
These are problems I simply haven't had since screen protectors first hit the market over a decade ago. Since I've already used the product, I can't refund it but had I known these issues I would have simply bought from another seller. I get the sense that these are cheap products without meaningful quality control, and are counting on you either not realizing or not caring.
