A GOOD Glass Screen Protector - just keep your expectations in check
I've been a long time Amazon review reader, but never a review writer. Have always wanted to write one...so here we go...
This is my first glass screen protector. I've used skin-type protectors (wet installs) and more frequently PET-type (dry install) screen protectors. I gotta say, I really, really like this screen protector. It's much better than I expected.
There are a lot of reviews before me. I don't want to invent the wheel. So here are my high points:
1. Yes, the screen protector doesn't completely cover the face of the phone due to the curves. Knew this going in. I'm just glad that the LCD screen portion is covered fully (unlike a different brand that was too narrow).
2. The protector around the home button is U-shaped. There is a cutout for the front facing camera. There is a U-shaped notch that exposes the speaker and the sensor above it. I understand Tech Armor is working on a more precise cutout. I don't think the one I have is the improved one, but I can't say. The fact that they'll provide the improved one to those who ask is awesome. That and the lifetime warranty.
3. The curved edges of the protector make swiping a nice feeling. My fingers don't catch when swiping.
4. The feel of the glass protector is much better than the wet or dry install protectors I've used in the past.
5. Installed it very easily on the first try in a steamy bathroom (to help avoid dust particles).
All in all, a great product backed up by a great lifetime warranty.
***UPDATE as of 2/14/15***
A couple months back, I utilized the awesome lifetime warranty policy. I appreciate Tech Armor working to improve their product, but was disappointed that the newer version I received is now very slightly smaller along the left and right edges. Because of this change, the screen protector no longer completely covers the screen portion of the phone.
Had to deduct a star for that, but definitely a great and easy to use lifetime warranty.
Also for what it's worth the newer version no longer has a cutout for the front facing camera, although I saw no impact in photo quality from this change.
