3.0 out of 5 starsNot great, not terrible

First off, when my package arrived two of the screen protectors were already cracked and useless.
disregarding that, applying these to my phone was easy enough. They provide a small microfiber cloth and cleaning wipes, some stickers to get dust off, and a plastic frame to position the screen on. it all worked well. Had to spend a few minutes getting air bubbles out after application but the rest was easy.
the screen protector itself? the privacy feature is iffy. it does drastically reduce the brightness of your screen, and if you look close there are visible vertical lines on app icons, texts, etc on the screen. not too happy about that. The privacy feature does work great, from the side it looks like you're looking at a phone that's not even turned on; you can't see anything at all.
however, in low-light conditions it doesn't work so well. It makes it extremely difficult to see what is on the screen but you can make out vague details. parts of the screen will appear to be black while others look normal but as if the phone was on the lowest possible brightness setting. And if you're outside at night with your phone as the only real light source around, it doesn't really work at all. but i think that goes with any privacy screen protector, can't do much about that. just something to keep in mind if you get these! also wish the screen protector covered the ENTIRE front face of the iphone, bezels included, because it doesn't and i've noticed dust tends to collect there & it's annoying to wipe it off with the protector on.
to end on a positive note, this protector feels like silk. way better than the original iphone screen, quite satisfying to use. overall, for the price, these aren't bad.. but if you have the money to spare i'd drop the $40 for one of the better ones.
