Sadly my AmazonBasics Screen Protector arrived too late to save my iPhone screen from its first scuff, I’ve been living with that for a while now, but I was interested to see if it made the existing marks look any better. It does, but it doesn’t mask them completely – you can no longer see any scratches or scuffs in the reflection on the screen, which was probably the way I noticed them most often previously, but you still see them catching the light occasionally. However, it’s a definite improvement. The protector itself was much easier to apply than I’d expected and I got it right first time with no bubbles! However I’ve previously applied an Invisible Shield to a Sony PSP and negotiating the curves and protrusions of that device are a nightmare compared to the minimal stylings of an iPhone. It also helps to ensure the glass is completely grease-free before you begin – I used one of those alcohol-infused wipes made for cleaning spectacles to get the iPhone glass squeaky clean and ready for the protector. The surface of the protector gives slightly more finger-traction than the original glass, which might suit some people, and so far it seems less prone to greasy fingermarks, which should suit everyone. Thankfully, I haven’t noticed any loss of sensitivity in the touch-screen either. I haven’t had it on my iPhone long enough to judge its durability, but with 5 in the pack I should be covered for a year or two. If you want to keep your iPhone looking as pristine as possible or, like me, give it a bit of minor restoration then AmazonBasic’s screen protectors are a decent-quality and good-value option.

We’ve tried a couple of different versions of this kind of product to use on phones and ipods, this is by far the best. The instructions are clear (and not “waffly” like some I’ve seen). The protectors come with a cloth so you can ensure the screen is perfectly clean, and with a card with which you can flatten the protector to the screen and remove any air bubbles. It seems pretty well applied so I am not sure why you would need 5 – however it was so easy to apply to the screen that I decided I was going to use another on my regular mobile phone (to which I had unsuccessfully put a different film on not that long ago) – all I did was trim to size and it was just as easy!  Sticks and stays stuck, but…, By

Some people take great care of their touch screen phones, but others need screen protection. If you don’t want to add bulk to your beautifully slim phone, or you don’t want to hide its expensive and beautiful design, then you won’t want a leather pouch or a blinged up rubber skin but will want a simple screen protector. This is the first and only screen protector I have ever used, so my experience is limited, but I can say that this screen protector is easy to apply (be very carefull to remove every last single speck of dirt before you stick it down, otherwise that teeny weeny speck will show up as a half centimetre pimple), and once on it stays stuck. I’ve had mine on for about a month, and there’s no sign of peeling – and I’m not a person who looks after his phone. The one big drawback (and what makes it lose two stars) is loss of sensitivity. If you play touch-sensitive games, you will notice this straight away. For slow games (like Sudoku, chess, etc) this will not be a problem, but if you play fast games then the loss of sensitivity might make you rip off this screen protector in frustration. So, if you tend to be careless with your phone/keys, and don’t play fast games, and like your phone naked then this product is ideal for you. If you are careful with your phone, then you can probably do without this. If you play fast games, don’t get this. If you don’t mind bulking up your handbag/pocket or you actually like bling, then your best bet is a pouch or a skin. |
