I purchased this product based on a blog posting from macrumors.com, which listed this as one of the better choices amongst iphone 4 screen protectors. At first glance it seemed like a good option for the price, as I have seen this product in retail locations selling at a 50% markup from the amazon listed price. This is also a 2-pack of screen protectors, which, came in useful (see below).

PROS: Application was simple and was executed with ease with the provided "lint remover" stickers and microfiber cloth for prepping the screen. While upon finishing the initial application I was able to apply without any bubbles or lint being trapped under the protector. The clarity of the film was very crystal-clear as promised, and fingerprints and scuffs were not present after a weeks usage.

CONS: The first film that was applied came off within less than 24 hours, which was completely disappointing. I actually considered returning to amazon for a refund, but thought I would apply the second film to see if the initial one fell off due to my installation. The second film came off again even after very careful application, and came off within somewhere between 48-72 hours after application (film was lost, not sure when or where it came off).

So obviously a well made film, but has major flaws with the adhesive. Would recommend to the manufacturer to reevaluate their application adhesive.

I bought this based on the mostly positive reviews from other purchasers of this product but unfortunately I have to concur with those who stated that the material peels at the edges and corners. This was a problem as soon as it was installed but it was only slight so I thought I could live with it. Over time, however, the peeling got worse. This may have partially been caused from the case that was installed, it would catch the edges sometimes. I'm not sure how it would fare if it was used without a case. The case used was the Griffin case with the faux carbon fiber back which was one of the selections with the Apple Bumper program.

I was surprised that there were two protectors in the packaging, I gave the second one to my daughter who also has an iPhone 4.

The material is extremely clear, thick and much more rigid than I expected. I think that if the manufacturer used a stickier adhesive it would address all the peeling issues but the adhesive is not much better than protectors that stick using static. Because it is a very weak adhesive it really doesn't tolerate repositioning very well either. When installing on my daughter's phone I had to reposition it and it didn't restick properly. I did use the "tape trick" to peel it up so it was not due to distorting the edges and my hands and phone surface were "surgical" clean so the problem does appear to be with the product, not my installation technique.

I have removed and discarded this product after several months of use, the problem was noticeably worse after my wife played a game for several hours on a long flight. I'm not hard on my phones so I think I will see how I do without a screen protector for now since Apple is using a more scratch resistant glass on the screen that the earlier models used. My daughter also had the same problem but a lot sooner - probably due to repositioning it - and is no longer using it.

I bought this a while back because it promised to protect the iPhone screen (supposedly better than the cheapy $1 ones on Ebay). I just had a chance to install it the right way. I've installed many screen protectors and I know it's extremely precise job and hard to do. If you want a clean no bubbles and dust specks installation of course, but who doesn't? Patience is a must.
Installation is kinda different than the cheaper versions I've mentioned above. This one does not tolerate even a droplet of water whereas the other ones do - you could take them off, wash and reapply as many times as needed. This one...not really. If you fail the first time - good luck! You will most likely have to wash it with soap to get all dust off and then reapply. If water droplet gets caught inside there's no way you can squeegee it out. You have to remove the screen protector to where the droplet is and continue applying. You must not even let air bubble get trapped in the middle for the same reason.
The best way to do it is to start from top and squeegee air outwards and towards the bottom. One millimeter at a time. Literally. Use the supplied cleaning cloth to wipe off the screen VERY well before you start.
In my opinion the only advantage this has over the cheap ones is that it's thicker. Nothing more.

Pros:
1. Thicker than other brands, should mean better protection (to find out).
2. Nice clean cut, well designed to fit the screen perfectly.
3. Dust specks removal stickers are very good idea. Did the job in my case.

Cons:
1. Price of course. It's ridiculous for this screen protector. $5 would be more realistic!
2. No matter what I do, there's some edges where it doesn't want to stick to the screen and stay put.
3. The included squeegee scratched the screen protector while I was using it. ?!?!

It's kinda hard to install, but they all are that's why I don't consider this as a "con". I had to throw one of the 2 away because of too many unsuccessful attempts. :(
Clarity is good but no different than other brands, that why this is not considered as a "pro" in my review.

Overall rating is 3 stars, mainly because it's not worth the price.

The screen protectors go on smoothly and easily. They definitely keep from scratching the screen. The only concern I have is that mine is starting to peel up that the one edge. I've had it for only a month. The pack comes with two, so if this one comes off, I'll have another one, but I'm hoping it lasts me longer than a month.
