See they give you this little window, I thought It was a good idea, the center is stuck down, that becomes my center point, right?
No. That is a fake stick down point for alignment only. The real point is where that thick line starts at the bottom. You have to peel that back to get it to stick. Then the front. But in my case I held the center down and bent it in half. And had a very hard time removing it, and then somehow despite doing this super carefully, I still had bubbles or dirt or stretching or something mess it up. And those bubbles didn't go away.
So I contacted them. They said on the page - contact them and they will give me a satisfied solution. So far its been days of back and forth - you installed it wrong they said, did you watch the really fast confusing video we sent up? Did you watch it a lot? Then they gave me written instructions, which aren't written on the package (of which is covered in metal shiny foil making everything harder to read). Then they just last told me to practice it a few times? Huh? There are only 2 sheets in here, how does one practice it a few times. They claim they buy this stuff from someone else for 4 years with no troubles. I did not find that solution satisfying.
As for the product, I use this with a metal case, but when I removed it the edges were coming up. It does have a camera hole. It is very smooth and because of its thinness you get full contrast and you don't really notice fingerprints. And I think its better than the original protector that came with the phone. I wish they had a 3rd one because of how hard this is to install.
The film is similar to those magic stickers you had when you were a kid, but softer and a bit more stretchy. But I would have rather have had 1 thing to remove and carefully place that. Then setting myself up for failure. And now I don't know if I can get the second one on without messing that one up too.

after installing the spare, only a month of owning it. There is a big dent in it. I keep it in a pocket with a few plastic items, nothing sharp, and there is a gouge in it. And its super apparent. Before that the slickness of the film wore off. I'm probably better off not having it. And as far as customer support goes - they are terrible. The last reply I had was - if you want to get it right practice it over and over... Which means what I have to buy a pile of these lousy confusing to install things?
Now I have to go back to glass. But because this stupid screen is curved they all tend to shatter.
