Whether you should purchase this item depends on what you're looking for.

1. Application: Extremely easy with no bubbles.
2. Screen Protection: Excellent. The protector is more rigid than some of the other flimsy, almost saran wrap like, protectors I have used previously.
3. Aesthetics: A selling point for this protector is its mirror shine surface when the phone's screen shuts off. When I first applied the protector it was truly mirror like. However, after I used the phone for a few days I began to notice that when the screen powers down, the mirror surface was now covered with a montage of my fingerprints, giving the phone a filthy look.
4. Visibility: The protector, probably due to its properties that produces the mirror like surface, creates a distracting bluish green color when not viewed straight on. The slightest tilt, up or down, left of right, causes the problem. This can be annoying, since the Storm has such a great screen resolution.
5. Cost: Inexpensive.

Cool product, Looks good one and easy to install no bubbles. However this might not be for everyone. The down side is that fingerprints and oils are very visible especially when the screen is dark. Also if you are watching video or looking at darker picts, etc... you get to see yourself in the reflection. Your call if that is good or bad. When it comes to viewing/composing email and using the phone you can not see the fingerprints. Maybe the second generation of this product will address smudge factor.

UPDATE
---------------------
If I could drop this down a star and 1/2 I would. This cover is very hard to see in the day light and if you wear Polarized Sunglasses forget trying to view the screen.

This product sounded great and everything, and it was, but there was one part I didn't like. I thought that when I was using my phone I could see the screen perfectly normal, but it was all rainbow. You could see the screen, but all of the colors were messed up. If you are considering buying this, think if you can live with your colors all being very off.

I like the MIRROR effect. Easy to install if you do not touch the adhesive side.
The ONLY bad thing compared to the regular shields is that When You touch or scroll on it. the Oils from your fingers stick to it & dirty it Fast?
The regular type do Not get that way?
They are not easy to clean even with the Thin cloth they come with? the cloth should be a little thicker?
I use a little ENDUST for Electronics if i'm Home or find a Napkin that is soft or Tissue
otherwise I Like them for the Mirror Effect that hides the Screen till You Click on it.

I personally love this, some of my friends like it as well. Application was easy, mirror is clear and it protects the screen. No complaints here.

this product actually doesn't do much except protect your screen, but when others see the mirror like finish, they just start with "where did you get that?", "i must get one." it is much nicer than your usual protector.

This cover does not disappear when the backlight of your phone comes on. I was unable to read the text on my phone because the mirrored cover casts a bright purple haze over the screen and there's a rainbow-colored reflection that also makes the screen difficult to use.

Plus, this thing looks disgusting as soon as you start touching it. I fancy myself an avid hand-washer, but the fingermarks left on this screen after I used it made me feel icky. I carried a screen wipe with me at all times, but the wipe just moved the oil around on the screen which led to streaks of grease across the mirror. It was gross. Please pass on this.

It works fine to protect your screen but on the Blackberry Storm it makes the screen much harder to see, especially in the sun.
I suggest the invisibleSHIELD by Zagg it goes on clean is is transparent. If you want the mirror finish go with this one.

After reading the review i understood that it was a fingerprint magnet...
Is the screen reflective when screen dark, yes...
Small tint of blue-ish color when using, but works perfectly..
Read reviews, knew what to expect, very satisfied.

Definately a mirrored front however i did not find that it blocked the screen from prying eyes.
