4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product!, December 12, 2007

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to here...

PLEASE ignore Umesh T's review!! He has absolutely no clue how this product works! This is a good product. Umesh spoke of a "shoddy sticker" on the screen. There is a sticker, but it is attached to a very thin film covering the tacky side of the protector. And by the way, there is absolutely NO adhesive on the protector. It's kind of like the feel of the rubber toys they make for children that stick when you throw them against something (e.g., the frig, cabinets, walls). The rubber used to make the toy is tacky.

Here's how the protector is applied: 1. Clean the iPod screen with the included cleaning cloth 2. Grab the sticker tab and remove the thin film (the tab makes it easier to remove) 3. DISCARD this protective thin film/sticker (this is NOT the protector!) 4. Apply the protector (using the "soft card" (it's to remove any air bubbles) if you want to) to the iPod screen.

Last word. The sticker that Umesh T spoke about is 100% attached to the thin film that you DISCARD, and NOT to the iPod touch screen protector.

Cheers!

P.S. There's now a 3-pack available on Amazon.

I just received this screen protector today and it is everything I had hoped it would be. It provides full coverage, it is crystal clear and it doesn't impede the touch screen. Great product, but note that you aren't going to save on shipping by ordering more than one! However, still a good deal compared to similar products. I'm going to order another one, I can't seem to put this things on right the first time, always get microscopic dust particles in there...

Edit: I bought first one from BargainCell... later purchased one from eForcity that did NOT cover entire face; so caveat emptor (buyer beware) because I'm not sure everybody is selling the same thing here!

The moment I received this, I took out my iPod (which had been until then protected by the plastic it came with) and layed this screen on. Now, when I compare it to that brief moment when it wasn't covered at all, it still has the exact same look and exact same feel. It's remarkable, and it puzzles me why it received so many low ratings. After reading all the poor reviews, I have decided that they are, each and every one, misguided.

The sticker. There are, in fact, TWO stickers, one on each side of the protector, and they read (verbatim, including numbers): 1) Please peel off this mask BEFORE application, 2) Please peel this mask off AFTER application completed. I noticed that one review states that they are glued to the product with "unremovable glue." Yes, they are. So that you can use these stickers (which stick out about a centimeter past the edge of the screen), and peel the thin-film covers off. Not the stickers themselves...THE COVERS. So in the end, you are left with a sticker-free screen protector that isn't even noticeable.

Now, about those tricky air bubbles. As I put it on, a few started to form, so before I lay the whole thing down, I pulled it back until there were none left, and slowly (slllooowwwwlyyy) worked it up by pushing down on the end of the screen in my hand, and using the small wiping cloth to push down the screen little by little so no bubbles formed. Yeah, so it takes a little patience. I'm happy to spend forty seconds applying it right rather than rushing it and ending up with, well, much less desirable results.

I believe this has already been mentioned, but since I'm touching all bases here, THERE IS NO ADHESIVE. It is sticky, tacky, grippy, whatever you want to call it. It's gotta stay ON the iPod somehow, right? Adhesive is glue, and there is absolutely no glue. Whatsoever.

One last thing: I noticed that each time I return to this page, a different seller is listed. Maybe we're all getting different things. I got mine from Vortex Cable. Sure, it's $.27 instead of $.15, but for $2.95 shipping (total= $3.12) you get a terrific product. Don't hesitate; buy it.
