Screen Protector - clear, screen protector
I wanted to make sure I didn't mess up my iPod cuz I'm not a fan of paying alot of money for something and then it gets messed up. So I ordered these and am very happy with the product. It went on smooth and there aren't any bubbles at all. I'm writing this review from the iPod and I'm not having any trouble at all! It's smooth and perfect. This is a great screen protector; and I recommend it to anyone who wants to protect their iPod screen. splash 3-Pack of Masque Screen Protector for iPod touch 4G (Clear)
I ordered my Splash Screen Protector on October 31st from BlueHarborOnline and I received it on November 4th; fast shipping and the screen protector showed up in a normal envelope.
As stated, the product comes with 3 screen protectors, a cleaning swab, cardboard application card, & instructions. Its application is truly simple. You have protective plastic on both sides of the screen protector with tabs to remove the protective plastic.
Clean the iPod screen thoroughly and start the application process in a room with a low possibility of floating lint in the air such as a bathroom. When you're satisfied with the screen, take the included swab and cover the screen to prevent any floating lint from attaching while you are removing the first tab on the protector.
As soon as you remove the first tab, take the swab off the iPod and apply the protector at an angle, not all at once. Do not wait once you remove the first tab or floating lint may attach to the adhesive that you just exposed. When applying at an angle, if an undiscovered piece of lint shows up on the screen you can quickly remove the protector, swab it off and continue. The protector will create a bubble around any piece of lint so be careful. The cutout of the front-facing camera is overcut so if you line up the home button, the camera will definitely line up as well. You also have a little overcut on the home button so it doesn't have to perfect.
Once all sides of the protector are on the screen then it difficult, but not impossible, to remove it should you need to redo the application with an second screen protector. There is no residue left on the screen if you have to try again. Push all the air bubbles out with the cardboard while the second layer of protective plastic is still on. Don't worry if you see scratches on the protector, those are on the out most layer of protective plastic. If you have applied the protector with a lint bubble, then you will have to pry off the protector and start again with a new one. Air bubbles will come out easily however. Once all air bubbles are gone and you are satisfied, pull on the second tab to remove the second layer of protective plastic. It will appear that the screen protector was never really applied. The only way you'd be able to tell is by looking at the overcut of the front-facing camera.
It personally took me 3 tries to get this right. This was, however, my first time applying a screen protector and I suggest you follow the preceding instructions with detail.
Overall, I'd recommend this screen protector to anyone because its so easy to apply and relatively cheap for its quality and a pack of three.
I was amazed at this product.
As soon as you finish applying it, it DISAPPEARS. like a ninja.
You can't tell it's there!
To those people who rated this 2 or 3 stars, disregard them.
Applying this is SIMPLE.
They send you three. You'll only need one.
The key is to peel off only the top, and apply that firmly before proceeding to apply the rest.
You cant peel it all off and then apply it. That'll be harder.
The holes are a bit bigger than the camera or the home button, respectively.
And aligning them perfectly will be an arduous task, but fear not, it's still simple and still looks good.
This is a really good product for the price.
My only complaint was that the cleaning cloth attracted more dust than get rid of it.
Luckily I was able to remove all the dust and create ZERO bubbles.
I'm more than satisfied. I recommend.
This is one of the better screen protector products I've seen. The application is VERY simple. The protective covering that applies to the screen comes between two stiff plastic applicators. You peel off #1 and then apply the protector to the Touch. This stiff plastic allows the actual product to remain true to its form and not curl up, fall over on itself or bend. You can hold it by the edge and therefore eliminate fingerprints on the sticky side. After you get it lined up, it falls nicely in to place without massive bubbles. You then peel off #2 and you're done.
It comes with a cloth so that you can clean the screen before application. This is the most important step, because even one little speck of dust or dirt will get trapped. You get 3 screen protectors per package so if this happens, you have backups.
I highly recommend this product.
this splash Masque protector is [excellent].
i bought a ZAGG Invisible Shield for $25bucks, it came after over a week...and it was total crap. The material is like a rubber and takes away the signature smoothness of the ipod Touch screen.
for that 25bucks i was given only [one] protector, and the first time you attempt to apply the product you are guaranteed to mess up, it took so long to get it fitted on, i don't care, i'm your average consumer, Zagg Invisible Shield sucks total crap.
i bought this splash Masque protector instead after trying the 'widely recommended' Zagg Invisible shield..it's less than half the price, AND you get an [entire pack] of 3 protectors, so you have safety for error in application whatsoever.
and the kicker, the application procedure. it took less than 5 minutes to apply, i got it absolutely [perfect] on the very first try, hell i'll give away my other 2 remaining protectors lol.
and it's much smoother to the finger than the "military grade" Zagg piece of crap.
don't fall for the marketing crap, splash Masque is perfect in every way.
1 single con i will list:
this splash Masque pack of 3 protectors only comes for the front screen, nothing for the back, so you might want one of those additional cases that protect your mirror finish on the back =)
as said above, i come from a Zagg route, so i had a back piece already in place (the zagg product comes for both front and back panels) and i'm keeping the zagg back piece for now until i get another replacement of sorts.
splash Masque is excellent. it's my first time owning an ipod touch, first time trying out screen protectors, this was absolutely the best choice, can't beat what you get for the price. - Screen Protector - Ipod Touch 4g - Accessories - Clear'
