Its very good, and it's actually turns the front of your iPhone into a mirror. and if you apply it right you might get it to match the steel-like rim of your iPhone face, making it as a complete piece of reflection.

However, you will have to increase the screen brightness during the day, because it will be hard to see through especially if there is direct sunlight.

As a result, you will notice your battery life shrinks due to the brightness adjustment.

Love it, looks like a mirror when screen is off and when screen is on picture is clear. It kind of works like sunglasses.

Like everyone else has said, it's not pratical to use. It looks very cool, but you just can't see a thing in bright daylight. It leaves a dirty mark every time you touch the screen.

Makes it harder to see the screen in the sunlight, but it's easier to clean than the original screen or any other screen protector.

Positives;
+ Works as a great Mirror.
+ A good screen protector.
+ Works great indoors.

Negatives;
- Outside, especially when sunny, glares off a lot and it's very hard to see the screen.
- Due to the fact that it's a mirror it decreases light coming forth from the screen when on (this one doesn't bother me at all).

Conclusion: I'd buy it again, and would recommend it to family and friends.

It does what it says...doesn't work in the sun but I'll get over it...plus it was a great price! I have a case on my iPhone 3gs so I have a bubble on the side but that's what my case has done to all screen protectors since it comes over the sides...no fault of the protector...it's cool!

What I like about the cover:
-reflection is good (though not like a glas mirror, more like shiny metal)
-it protects the screen well (it is thick)

What I dislike about the product:
-didn't come with instructions. the cleaning cloth they provide is a joke.
-edges bubble up, as they hit the edge, instead of meeting it (at home button and ear, as well)
-As other reviewers have described, the thickness of the mirror is also a drawback,as you DO need to increase screen brightness to max in order to see well.

If you do buy this product, here is what I suggest:
-buy two, just in case you mess one up
-clean the screen prior to application with an eye-glass cleaner fluid and a REAL eyeglass cleaning cloth (the one they provide is horrible)
-dry the screen with compressed air and clear off last dust pieces
-punch out home button and ear-phone hole (!!!)
-remove 1 screen protector (it is labeled as 1)
-place screen protector exactly
-remove all visible air bubbles with a credit card or the like
-peel off 2 screen protector from top

I would buy this product again, it is inexpensive enough to mess up and the seller is very fast! thumbs up

Pros: The protector is very reflective. Your phone can double as a mirror!

Cons: The phone's screen is almost impossible to see when you're outside or there's a lot of light hitting the phone, even if your brightness is set to max. It got to be so frustrating that this is the reason I ended up removing the protector from my phone. The screen protectors are ok. They're way thick, and it's very obvious they're on the screen, especially if you don't keep your phone in a case like me. The protectors are so thick, that they can snag a little on something if the phone is rubbed against something. They also aren't precision cut to exactly fit the glass portion of the front of the iphone. They are a tad longer and wider in some areas, and the corner area isn't the same angle/curve as the glass screen is, so it makes the face of the phone look a little off if you're not using a case as well I gave one to my friend who uses a case for his phone, and it looks good.

I have had experience putting screen protectors on phones for several years. I generally do pretty good with installation and have a minimum amount of air bubbles underneath the screen.

With this protector I cleaned the phone very well before installing and ended up with numerous air bubbles/pockets. I was able to use a squeegie like device and get most of them out but the ones that are still there are seemingly magnified due to the mirror surface. It makes them much more apparent than a standard clear or anti-reflective screen protector.

It's a protector, a mirror, and...really difficult to see the screen in sunlight. Best for those who use the iphone/ipod mostly indoors.
