Do your research, your screen quality will go down significantly with this screen
As a first-time MacBook owner, I decided to get this to protect my very expensive, brand new 13" MacBook Pro. I initially bought this specific screen protector because it kept coming up on Amazon as the "best seller" and when I looked at the reviews, it seemed like there was nothing but good things to say...I'm going to include in my review what I honestly wish others had included in theirs to prevent anyone else from experiencing the same regret I'm feeling now.
Like many of the reviews claim, it can be nearly impossible to install this screen without air bubbles, even if you are very careful. It's annoying but isn't the main issue for me. What bothers me is the TERRIBLE quality I'm now seeing on my screen. It honestly looks like someone put a "grain" filter on my screen at the highest possible setting! It's depressing to look at my screen now because my Retina display used to be so beautiful. Upon doing more research, I realized that reduced clarity is to be expected with anti-glare screen protectors, so I realize and do admit that I should have done more research if this was going to be such an issue for me. However, another deal-breaker for me with these screens is the lack of anti-glare. I bought these screens because I work/study/teach from home and therefore spend 14+ hours of every day staring at my screen (by the window), and the anti-glare hardly makes a difference. I really only needed 1 screen but since these came with 3, I'm now stuck with 3 screens that have significantly reduced the quality of my experience working on my MacBook. Even worse, I'm afraid to peel off the screen after applying it almost flawlessly (minimal air bubbles around two corners of my screen) because I've seen reviews where others have tried, failed, and damaged their screens.
Super disappointed in not only myself, but this product. Do your research if you want to avoid what I'm feeling now.
