Apple Iphone 1st Gen (Not for Iphone 3g) Screen LCD Protector Film Guard (Not for Iphone 3g) Reviews

• Do not buy it, worst product ever made - stay away

  
  By A2IQB4IP4CUXSH on 2007-08-03
  This simply does not work. First of all it does not fit the iPhone. It slightly larger than what it should be. The quality of adhesive is so bad that its impossible to put it without bubbles. I tried and wasted three of these. Even if you are ready to live with a few bubbles, the sticker stuck on the screen protector is impossible to remove cleanly. When removed the sticker leaves adhesive behind that looks really ugly on iPhone. So do not buy it.
  
  

• Great protector, better than the original screen...

  
  By A34B3U6N3VPO1X on 2008-02-13
  The reviewers complaining here about the 'stickers' might not realize that this comes as one protector with 3 pieces of film, you remove back film to expose the adhesive by grabbing the sticker and peeling back, you position the film on the iphone (mine fit perfectly) then you rub with the plastic tab they give you to remove the bubbles, and yes, they do all come out. Finally you remove the 3rd sheet of film from the outside by grabbing its tab and peeling it off, this way you don't risk scratching the protector while rubbing down the bubbles.
  
  The skin actually seems to trap less oil and smudges than the original screen BUT it is much shinier. Don't know if that will lessen over time, and is a minor annoyance, but well worth it. Seems very durable, I've tossed it in pockets with keys, coins etc and no scratches. Well worth the money.
  
  

• HORRIBLE

  
  By AUZD8F0TPESTO on 2007-09-04
  Was supposed to come with three protectors, only one was in the package. I put it on exactly as instructed and it still had bubbles, edges never sealed and kept peeling up. I tore it off within 36 hours. Do not buy this product.
  
  

• It works great!

  
  By A70LW9MF0IAAS on 2008-02-07
  The film works great. To put it on WITHOUT any bubbles, you put the film on the phone slowly, starting on one side of the phone and working toward the other,use your finger to slowly push out any bubbles as they form. You must also make sure your phone glass is clean and dust free. It might take you a try or two. The film is also very close to the actual size of the actual iphone glass, so it must be applied straight and true to the glass or it will overlap and need to be re applied.
  
  It isnt hard, it just takes a little attention. This film works just as good as the ones priced for $15 at the apple store for a fraction of that price.
  
  

• Yes It Works!

  
  By A170XIHPBZR3PE on 2008-01-19
  Those people that complain about this product not working or doesnt fit or the edges would not adhere, or bubbles remained under it simply did NOT know what they were doing. So they leave a rather negative review? Follow the instructions folks. If you cant do something this simple, ask someone else to help you. My iPhone is protected. Thanks!
  
  
• Nice product. Practical
  By A18GTVBBFGYSA1 on 2007-09-19
  For someone like me who will easily scratch my iPhone screen, this is the product for me. It is inexpensive and I think Apple should make it a standard accessory that comes with the iPhone :)
  
  
• Great Screen Protector
  By A2AZE6TLP5T4DB on 2007-10-10
  I would highly recommend this product for anyone with an iPhone. This screen protector lets you to safeguard the glass screen from any scratches while still allowing you to show off the phone.
  
  Once it's applied, you hardly even notice it's there. Aside from a small break underneath the 'home' button, it fits the screen perfectly.
  
  
• Great Protector
  By A1SLTXKVU76QKB on 2008-04-07
  An excellent product! To those who like to keep safe your screen that's a great solution! Highly recommended
  
  
• Fantastic screen protector!
  By A2N75ADJSRW0AH on 2008-08-12
  First of all, I have added an image that you can use to judge the size of the protector on an iPhone 3G. I know it's hard to see a clear protector in a small photo, but in the image my iPhone is in this case, which perfectly covers the edges of the screen protector on all sides, so there's no chance of pulling up the corners or getting dust, etc. around the edges of the protector. There's a cut out semi-circle for the Home button.
  
  The protector itself is much sturdier than screen protectors you may have used in the past (for an iPod or Palm, for example). It's not the flimsy, flexible stuff. For example, if a standard screen protector that you'd get at a big box store was the equivalent flexibility of a sheet of notebook paper, then this one would be the equivalent of a business card.
  
  The upshot of this is that you don't have to worry about corners folding or bubbles forming during application. You can position it very precisely before applying, and then when you apply, you get a PERFECT result, straight with no bubbles whatsoever.
  
  The fact that it's covered on both sides is very nice, so if you feel like it (though it's not really necessary because of its stiffness), you can use a credit card to press it down as you apply the protector without scratching the protector surface with the card. To be honest though, it doesn't seem to scratch that easy anyway. It's FAR less prone to scratches than any other screen protector I have ever used.
  
  So you get a high quality, crystal clear, bubble-free, scratch resistant protector that will easily outlast a normal screen protector, and will probably outlast a PACK of normal screen protectors. And you basically get it for the cost of shipping.
  
  It's a no-brainer. Get it and thank me later. :-)
  
  UPDATE 10/10/2008: Apparently the seller is no longer selling the 3G version here. My review applied to the 3G version that was being sold on this page at the time the review was submitted. I'm sure that the review of the material, etc. still applies though.
  
  
• LCD Protector Film - Gotta have steady hands
  By AK0TDLDWELTRH on 2008-01-19
  Cheap and does the job. Well satisfied as a customer. As a suggestion to those buying, when applying the film, have one of those keyboard aerosol dusters handy and very dry hands.
  
  
• fantastic cover!
  By A2Q6VINLE39XNW on 2008-04-06
  i think this screen protector is great. I was really skeptical about buying one on line but this one is definitely worth it since the ones in the apple store cost about 15 dollars. this fits the iphone perfect and the hole for the ear piece is slightly bigger to allow the sensor that is located there to work better. I had no bubbles when I put it on and it feels as if there is no screen protector on the glass after all is said and done. I'm about to order a few more just to have and to give to my sister and friends. Great Product!
  
  
• great price for a great sheath!
  By A2PFPWRHBWNAMJ on 2008-04-20
  I am pretty much a "type A" when it comes to smudge and oil, and build up on my iphone touch screen so this film cover does the trick in eliminating the need to constantly wipe them off. I love this product!
  
  
• Looks great, easy to apply.
  By A2RZXFWU45QEAC on 2008-05-02
  This is the only iPhone screen protector I have tried, but for the price, I'm very happy with it. The sticker method used for applying works great. I found it pretty easy to align and I put on without air bubbles. I had one tiny one which I pushed out with a credit card. When it's on, it is only noticable if you look at the edges. Otherwise, it looks perfect and is very thin. My only issue with it is, I just got it today and it's already got a pretty heavy scratch on it. I lent my phone to a friend for a few hours, so I don't know exactly what they did to scratch it, so I don't know how easy it is to ruin these things. Regardless, I'm going to order two more just to have as replacements. Another reviewer also said that the protectors leave some adhesive residue when removed, which I did not have a problem with.
  EDIT: I bought another one and after about a month, I managed to put another blemish in it. I think it may have been from a button on my pocket digging into it when I sat. Either way, I'm replacing it again. But again, for the price, I really don't mind.
  
  
• too difficult to apply
  By A27VBYZKJA7H0J on 2008-06-08
  this product was much too difficult to apply. I never could get all the air bubbles out. The directions were complicated, too many things to peel off in a certain order. In the process of attempting to apply the screen protector I got dust underneath which made the product unusable and I eventually gave up and threw it away.
  
  
• Bad Product
  By A3QBDJHPS99I09 on 2008-01-07
  the cover arrived but had a sticker attached to the protector film which made impossible to use. Bad quality, but was shipped really fast during x-mais.
  
  
• Great fit and protection, much like a Trojan for your phone
  By ALKFC2HRMQQHO on 2008-04-06
  Fits on the phone exactly and I had zero problems with air bubbles. It was so cheap that I bought 2 and the quality is such that I do not anticipate using the other one anytime soon. The only grip is that they charge WAY too much for shipping and then it took mine 14 days to get here, suckage! I guess it was worth the wait.
  
  
• very good product to improve iphone use!!!
  By A28NDPJT2994TY on 2008-04-22
  alright first of all I just want to clear some stuff up because some people just don't have common sense. First there is only 1 protector in the package, the protector has 2 masks over it 1 on each side the masks have a pull tab over them indcating which to take off first. Second I found it easier to peel off a little off the top of the first mask to line it up with the home button or speaker which ever side u start with its up to u, then once you line it up right as you are peeling drag your finger or credit card to press on the screen so no air will enter while you put the screen on then you might see tiny bubbles you can ignore them and after 2 or 3 days they will go or you can use a card to push them out. I would to add another thing that the film actually improves scrolling. I have rough hands and after I put the screen on my finger glides across the screen. I will definetly buy 2 more just incase. Buy this product you won't regret it. Cheers!
  
  
• not very easy to put on
  By A36AAKI0Q2HMFU on 2008-06-25
  very hard to put on the screen. tried to do everything but was unable to get rid of the bubbles on the screen. not recommended.
  
  
• Would never recommend
  By AW7E6VE7QQCCK on 2008-07-26
  While this item is only about $3 with shipping, I would never recommend it. We spent about 40 minutes trying to apply the plastic sheet, which unfortunately arrived with a sticker attached to it (so that portion of the adhesive already had an issue). There are bubbles everywhere that we have not been able to get rid of. All I can do is wait to get another protective sheet, because this one certainly could not look worse than it currently does. I wish that I could give it no stars.
  
  
  
• Here's the deal...
  By A23B67AOANHC9D on 2008-08-03
  This screen protector is one of the best kinds of protectors you can get, and as the previous reviewer says, it comes with three layers. One to expose the adhesive side, and the other to remove from the phone once you place it on the phone to protect it from scratches when removing bubbles.
  
  However, like any screen film these are some things to consider. Make sure you purchase at least 3, because putting it on is a real pain. You need to make sure no dust or dirt gets on the sticky side and you must also make sure you place it on perfectly as it should be placed on or otherwise you are going to have a bit sticking over the sides which doesn't work so well with some cases.
  
  If you manage to do that correctly, you will have a pretty good film protecting it and you won't realize it's there. It's also good at protecting against little CD-like scratches. So I dock it a star for difficulty to place perfectly on your phone.
  
  
• not the best
  By A2GSQ0RE5MJKB3 on 2007-12-28
  I have used screen protectors for Sony PSP.
  Not all of the were the best, I guess this is not the Best.
  has air bubbles arround the ear phone and the cancel button.
  
  
• Iphone screen protector
  By A3AI4ZLKX3L7SQ on 2008-01-28
  The product fits well and so far (about a month) it has proven to be pretty durable.
  
  
• Great protection
  By A1F49YO9XJ0MMT on 2008-03-31
  Very good protector. Liked so well I ordered a few more for future use. The people complaining must have done something wrong. Befor applying, the screen must be very clean and no dust. If any air bubbles appear just use a credit card edge to remove them.
  
  
• Best screen protector yet!
  By A33GWERXBODE06 on 2008-04-02
  I have been thru 3 different brands and this is the only one I could get on in a satisfactory manner. I thought the 3 sheet method of application was way easier to use. After I had applied it I actually thought that the thing was not on. I had to hold it up to the light to see the edge. Seems to not show finger smudges. They are cheap and work well what else can I ask for. Glad I bought 3.
  
  
• Very good product
  By A3E2XEBLT4JO5S on 2008-04-05
  Perfect fit. Leaves adequate space for menu button and ear speaker. Slightly difficult to install and align perfectly, but fits wonderfully when done appropriately.
  
  
• I recommend looking elsewhere
  By A1L8QXGFQ48BB6 on 2008-05-09
  This would be fine if it fit right. They made the width of this EXACTLY this same with as the screen size for the iPhone. The problem is that if you are one nanometer off to either side during the application, the whole thing is blown and you have to throw it away. Trust me, you will be off by at least a nanometer and your screen protector will be sitting up on the outside frame of the phone on one side leaving bubbles underneath. This could have been better produced. Try another one.
  
  
• Iphone Screen Protector
  By A173FIXEA5TSR on 2008-05-29
  I sat at the Apple Genius Bar and a man stated that he wished he had gotten a screen protector because he had scratched the face of his iphone. Recently, I had to replace my iphone and this product peeled right off and went on my new iphone. I love this product and it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do...protect the face of my iphone. Just use a credit card and tape to put it on to get it straight and remove the air bubbles.
  
  
• Very suprized
  By A2KLUJ973A49L1 on 2008-06-07
  I was hesitant to buy this at first because I read bad reviews and thought the good ones were fake or something, but I decided to buy it anyway because of the price.
  
  There is one screen cover in it. I expected to need to trim it cause someone said that it was too large in their review, but I think they were just incompetent or something because it fits perfectly and left no residue. There was maybe one bubble that came right out with the little plastic card it comes with. It took maybe two tries to get it on right, and it's not peeling away or anything. This is an amazing deal for the price in my opinion. Don't waste your money on the apple one that costs like $15 or something, this is a perfect fit and also shows no residue from fingerprints.
  
  I recommend cleaning your iPhone with an alcohol lens cleaning cloth before applying the cover.
  
  
• Nothing better at this price
  By A2CPQETCYC71LR on 2008-06-22
  Honestly you can't get any better for this price. It's easy to apply and cleans off easy. I had some screen protectors left over from my palm pilot that worked great on my iPod, but no so great on the iPhone. I thought I would have a lot of trouble putting it on, but it practically put itself on. Once I aligned it properly, I just let go of the tab and it adheared all on it's own. I just had to smooth out a couple of bubbles that disappeared quickly, and with little difficulty. I also learned, after I got it, that it is reuseable. Meaning, if you desire, you can take it off, wash it and reapply it. I did not know, and purchased two, but they are so inexpensive . . . who cares!!! Next cheapest product at the time of my purchase was $11.99, and disposable. Like hand-held screen protectors, the more expensive ones are designed to wear out, leading to future purchases. Excellent product! I couldn't be more satisfied with it.
  
  
• Did not work for me
  By AZ997PS4AG7BT on 2008-07-21
  There are 2 big problems
  
  1) No matter how meticulously I try removing the bubbles, most of them never seem to go away.
  
  2) After peeling off the top cover the film is so sticky that it collects so much dust on the surface and completely clouds the lcd
  
  It did not come as 3 layers , just 2 in a plastic pouch
