Feel like I've bought every version of screen cover. At one point, I became so frustrated with the air bubbles and cheap look of the others that I stopped using them altogether. But, I was still worried about protecting my iphone 3G. Then, I ran into someone who had one of these on their phone.

Yes, it does make for a slightly darker screen because it's anti-glare (TIP: you can adjust the screen brightness in settings for greater brightness, if you want). But, I think it makes the whole thing look slicker, and the touch pads definitely work as well as without any cover.

Haven't had any problems with pixelation on mine that other reviewers mention. In fact, can't quite figure out what they're talking about - unless it's the slightly darker screen.

Despite the higher cost of this one over the non-anti-glare packs I'd purchased previously - this one has been a better value. After eight months of use, I'm still on my first one- and it looks as good as when I first put it on.

While it does make the screen darker -- that's because it's anti-glare. Looking at the screen directly, there's no problem -- but if you look at it from the side, the image will be fuzzier... which is a plus for me.

If you don't want the anti-glare, go with their glossy version of the product.

I like it and recommend it -- it fits perfectly under the case and is very long-lasting.

I bought this as a replacement to the "Power Support" Anti-Glare model that I purchased from the Apple store when I purchased my iPhone. I found the Green Onions model to be a solid competitor but the anti-glare film does not seem quite as effective as the Power Support model. With that said, it is still a great value at a fraction of the costs. I will likely stick with the Green Onions line of protectors until Power Support lowers their costs and/or Green Onions raises theirs.

I purchased an OtterBox Defender case for my iPhone 3GS and after it was in the case I encountered the dreaded "oil slick" on the screen. I reviewed the FAQs from OtterBox that suggested a matte, anti-glare screen protector to eliminate the problem. Some of the reviews of the Green Onions Supply screen protectors mentioned problems with bubbles or placement. I read the instructions carefully, did a super good job of cleaning the screen and was surprised at how easy it was to install them (I did two iPhones). There were a few bubbles that were easily worked out to the edges. With the screen protector installed and the iPhone back in the OtterBox case, the "oil slick" is gone. Great clarity, and despite looking through the Green Onions Supply screen protector and the OtterBox screen protector I did not notice any decrease in brightness. Worked well for me.

I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive in spending $13 on an 'Anti-Glare screen protector' when I purchased some cheapy ones over at Wally World for half that price. But, I decided to go ahead after reading some of the more positive reviews. And all I can say is 'Wow, what a difference!'

Seriously, the glare screen I was using before made my screen extremely grainy. In fact, when I took it off and viewed the screen I was half tempted not to put anything back on it! The iPhone screen is amazing! But, I know myself and that the screen is needed to prevent scratches, and my oily skin from ruining the touchscreen, so I applied the Green Onion.

I couldn't believe it when I finished...I could hardly tell that there was a screen protector on it! Yeah, it dulls the colors and brightness just a bit, but not much...and there is absolutely NO grainy "noise" on the screen as there was with my 'cheap' protectors. I highly recommend this product!

Be sure to use the included 'thumb cleaner' to clean your screen, but when you do, make sure it doesn't leave behind any lint...I had to use some scotch tape on the back of the protector to remove some - as recommended by the packaging instructions - and it worked perfectly...follow this instructions!

I purchased these from Amazon, quick shipping and great packaging. I bought anti-glare to clear up the bubbles found under my otterbox case. They are heavy duty, improve screen view in sunlight, and did the job clearing up my view and doing away with the otterbox screen issue. I'd buy these again if needed. Went on great with no bubbles, lint or other problems. Recommended!

I really like this screen protector. It seemed to install without bubbles easy and quickly. One trick I've learned is to cut about 1/16" around the outside edge to keep my case from pushing up the edges.
Screen quality is great. More dull than the shinny protectors, but no glare.
Seems to stay cleaner too.

Best screen protector for your iPhone. This is the only protector I have bought that I have no air bubbles on my screen. I will always buy this brand when I need to get new protectors.

This is the second type of screen protector that I have used for my iPhone 3G and I am not buying it again.

Cons:
- The cover fails to reach the perimeter of the iPhone screen. There is space of a little over a millimeter that is uncovered around the perimeter of the screen.

- The protector's adhesion does not last very long! The pack comes with 2 protectors. In less than a month the cover started peeling off of my phone until the bottom portion was sticking up too much. I had to replace it with the second cover but there's something about the way that it is made that does not make the adhesion last long.

- The anti-glare feature does make everything look very pixelated (as other reviewers have mentioned) but this was a minor annoyance.

Pros:
- The quality of the plastic is high. The other screen protector that I have used was much thinner and felt more like a slightly thicker version of plastic wrap. This protector is sturdy.

- The anti-glare feature is effective.

- Minimal bubbles will remain if you follow the instructions on the packaging.

Overall- the anti-glare, minimal bubbles, and high quality of the plastic used does not compensate for the negative features I found in this product. I will be buying a different screen protector next time.

No complaints. touch screen works flawlessly, matte finish great for glare. Still on my first one.
