5.0 out of 5 stars good quality but need to apply with care, Pros and Cons..., April 14, 2009

I was a bit cynical when I purchased this product after reviewing all the positive and negative feedbacks. I did get a few other screen protectors over the last month or so from local stores and other websites, I give this item a 5 star after my trials on 5 similar items that have failed me and wasted my money. here are some pros and cons on this one...

Pros:
- very good quality. it's definitely not flimsy like the one I got from an other site. I actually can hold and control the sheet better which made the application much easier!
- Fits perfectly! OMG, what a relief! I was so frustrated with the one I had to trim to fit.
- It stayed on. (I had one that kept falling off!)
- Instruction is clear. The paper sticker is attached to the thin plastic sheet (1 on each side protecting the actual screen protector.)
- There's minimal reflections!!! I'm not saying no reflection at all, but much better than the thin one I got before. I have bad eye sights and it was one of my main concerns.
Con:
Cleaning the screen is crucial!!! I used very little warm water soaked soft cloth to clean my screen very well and let it air dry... DO NOT use dry tissue paper to wipe it dry, you'll get "invisible" lint left on the screen which u can't see until the screen protector is in place, then, it's painful to pull it back and almost impossible to remove the lint on the sticky side.

My biggest tip for everyone is to clean the screen very well!!! I'm leaving this one on for sure! Btw, I purchased my screen protector with this company, it seems that there're many others people selling the similar products and using the same pictures for the product... I'm a bit confused, just want to clarify.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't even bother...., November 9, 2009

This is A TOTAL WASTE!! It comes in a pack with the most ambiguous instructions (3 lines) - You can't even figure out which is the adhesive side because there are TWO sheets to remove and no sheet says "removing me exposes the adhesive side" I had to literally touch a small spec to find out! Well that's fine. Now it was FOLDED from the middle when it arrived, I still opened it to "experiment" and here are the results:

1. EXTREMELY difficult to apply - if you have the dexterity of a watch maker you'll be able to hold it up with 3 fingers on the edges without breathing (else it will attract lint) - there are NO cards or anything to aid you with this - just your hands
2. The Kindle screen has rounded corners, this sheet of plastic has SHARP corners, so it's slightly difficult to "set it right" - dexterity required!
3. The very first millimeter of it sticks and air bubbles start creeping in. I used a credit card to press it, hold the actual 'rims' with the other hand but bubble would ALWAYS creep in.
4. This thing shines like GLASS - Even in the absence of much light I can see myself in the screen like a reflection (You don't see such a spectacular reflection on the naked kindle screen). It shimmers so brightly that it actually makes your reading experience AWFUL - I took it off after an hour of playing and bubble removing etc.,

The GOOD thing: It comes with this unnecessary small towel about 1.5"x2.5" in size. So I threw the screen protector and kept the towel to keep my kindle clean - just put it "behind" the kindle in the amazon cover (or in the Medge's pocket). The cover's material prevents the towel from falling :-) So if you want to order this for the screen protector my advice DON'T BOTHER!!! You could order for that small towel :) but not worth the price

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible screen protector, November 9, 2009

Applying this screen protector is PAINFUL and impossible. Bubbles galore. The adhesive backing picks up lint. Once applied, the lint is impossible to remove. The bubbles are impossible to remove. Regardless of the cost, do not buy this thing.
