is this a wet install smudgeproof protector?

No, it isn't a wet install. Your iPhone needs to be clean and dry for best results. Follow the instructions and the installation is very easy.

It's a dry install. With a steady hand and good light, it's an easy install.

It is clear. But I got mine and the waterproof seal doesn't stay closed. I might have a dud but it's up to you

It's not as nice as the ones that you apply with water, but it is better than a few cheap protectors I have purchased. It covers the screen with all the cutouts in the right spot. I had to redo it once to get the alignment correct but I think that would be with any protector. I also have 2 small bubbles on the edge but does not effect the viewing area. Hope this answers your question.

It's wet application. It is only scratch-proof but not shatter-proof. My mini iPad's screen cracked when I dropped it accidentally at waist level height.

This must be installed with a small degree of care... I was able to install it easily and I always mess up the paper thin protectors.

I have not noticed any of the above. Only thing I've found with the protector is that every so often its best to take it out and wipe it down, since its not air tight it can get dust in there from time to time, but really its very minimal.

I use a microfiber cloth to remove smudges easily no problems. Images on LCD are crisp, non-distorted, no rainbow effects off the glass screen protector and it's holding up well so far. I'm happy I got it for my Sony camera.

I've been using it for a couple months I have been very happy with it. No smudges that I've noticed.

Yes. I used a clear waterproof sealant/stain. It looks great and wears well.

It's a wet apply... I had mine applied at Best Buy as they guareenteed it's application... I'm very efficient with iPhones but my 1st try with my 1st iPad did not suit me, therefore I ended up buying another shield. I've had them BB replace one that had bubbles that did not disappear properly.and was quite evident upon inspection that it was not done correctly .. " Geek Squad"

Not sure. Have never heard of that one before. This is a very nice quiet water proof mattress protector.

No, the protectors come with protective films on both sides. Those are printed with the logo, but you remove them at installation time.

Yes and no. I did remove mine to clean a few small specs of dust that had small bubbles. I successfully cleaned those and replaced the protector. You need a very clean and lint/dust free environment. Once it is in place and acceptable you don't want to remove it because it is very difficult to get it perfect. Just clean it installed.

No it's not. There is an opening around the home button and at the top of the front. Splash resistant perhaps. Water is the only "proof" it's not - well it's not totally dust proof either. But it's great protection from drops (even on concrete floor) and bumps.

Yes, it is a seal for no dirt or water to enter inside the case. Make shure it is in tact when you install the phone into the case.

No! It is honestly the easiest screen saver I have ever applied on my own...way better than the ones requiring liquid

I think it's slightly worst than the with no protector. I agree with Mark when he says it's more of a scratch protector than a smudge protector. Our hands are oily. Not much a piece of plastic can do about that.
