It is definitely worth buying. WAAAAAYYYYYY much better than the basic screen protectors that you can buy online or at discount stores that have 3 in a pack.

No very hard to apply and sticky to the touch. I recommend the screen saver from Verizon

Abe, I've had mine on since last Christmas and not used the other two, and it seems to be in great condition. I do have a Bobj rugged case that wraps around the front so the edges aren't exposed. I also used this method to install the film http://lifehacker.com/5927704/apply-a-screen-protector-perfectly-every-time-with-the-hinge-method

@Maria, it would help the glass to maintain it's place for the most part. I would say she is safe as long as she is somewhat careful with it. I'm actually in the cellular industry and this is often used as a option until your next upgrade. I hope this helps. Go for it

I have an IPhone 4s and have no problems It fits great and I wonder if you have a different version or not but my phone fits great and I have it on now as I answer this question. Maybe you should Send an E-mail to Otter box By the way you do have a defender otter box correct?

Yes - the screen protector is not required, but I can't see why you would not use it. It is more cling than adhesive and really keeps the screen from becoming damaged. I went from the 4s to the 5 and when I removed my protector and Otterbox the iPhone 4s looked pristine

These are clear screen protectors for iPhone 5. Technically the body of the iPhone 5S aren't any different from the "original" iphone 5. They are very cheap but there's like 5 of them for a few bucks. I bought it and use them as a just in case protection. It's a few bucks why not. But it is not long term. The best screen protector is the tempered glass one by bodyguard. It's pricy but it's good quality!

I found that the screen protector is very clear. I have had a few protectors that were just as you described (grainy, noisy). This one was as close to no-impact as I have seen. As a side note, there was also no loss in touchscreen responsiveness.

Hands down the best screen protector is the spigen glas.tr or any of the spigen glas series. It is highly impact resistant and is feels just like the glass on the phone. They are a bit pricey ranging from $30-40 but are well worth the money. It is the only screen protector I will buy and after purchasing one I am confident you will say the same. Easiest to install as well as they are more rigid.

I removed the pre-installed screen protector and found the responsiveness improved. I have not tried another type to see if they would work better. You may want to look at a good quality matte finish to reduce reflections. With the "retina display" the small amount of resolution lost should be minimal. My experience is that with the screen protectors - you get what you pay for. Spend a little more, get a good one and you should not have any touch issues. I hope this helps.

I love mine, but like most apple products, it will get really scratched, even with a case. Watch out for rubber cases that dirt can get under, the rubber will move a little bit and use the dirt to scratch the back of it. Anyway, I personally would wait for a otterbox case for it. I use the military shield for now, but it was horrible to install, and its not even on it right. Its lightweight and easy to hold, but without an otterbox, at least get a squaretrade warranty. Another thing I have learned about these devices, if you havent broken it in less than a year, you may never break it, so maybe skip getting an extra year on the drop and spill protection.

I have it on my iPhone 4s right now. There are three cutouts. One on the bottom and two on the top. the two on the top are for the camera and the speaker. That's all that's needed. The screen protector is great and my phone works just fine.

I do not use a screen protector on my iPad...nor did I know thet even made one! Is this something you got from the apple store for your iPad? I have had my iPad for 1 1/2 years, and keep a case on it, and it has NEVER gotten a scratch on it...so, I'm wondering why you would need a screen protector.

I have the iPhone 4s and bought an actual otterbox. Like the case very much, but I absolutely have air bubbles under the screen protector. To Ryan: The otterbox hard case (inside the silicone) has a built in screen protector.

Hi Kara, This screen protector is super clear. At times it is hard to tell if our iPad mini has a screen protector or not and yet is has been very durable. We are extremely pleased with it especially comparing the cost of others.

I bought kept a screen protector on the screen and a case on the phone from the day I got it. The phone itself would be too fragile to NOT have a thick cover on it at all times in my opinion. Also, i found that the screen was really sensitive and mine got "stuck" between screens when I would swipe.

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

It is not as strong as tempered glass, but it also does not cost as much as them either. For scratch resistance I have never had a better screen protector than a Skinomi. I do not have experience with testing the shatter protection though.
