I originally bought an iKross screen protector for my RAZR phone. It was easy to apply, and covered the entire screen area. I loved it especially because it did not involve an adhesive. It cuts down on glare, it is easy to apply and remove, easy to clean, and does not move once it is applied. I have not had any problems with it so I purchased one for my husband’s phone and it was the first thing I bought for both mine and my husband’s iTouch. I highly recommend it, and feel it is essential product to protect those sensitive screens!
3 Stars They Don’t Tell You Everything
Two major challenges with this or any other similar self-adhesive ipod screen protector products. Assuming you follow instructions to the letter, the result may still disappoint because:
(1) they don’t tell you that you practically need to be in a clean room … any dust collected on the sticking side, however small, means you’ll have a bubble you won’t be able to get rid of. This is compounded by the second challenge,
(2) perfect alignment needs multiple trys … this increase the chance of picking up dust on the sticky side of the protector.
So, if you bought only one protector like I did, chances are very good that you end up w/ annoying bubbles that make you want to throw the protector away.
In summary, either be happy w/ bubbles or you should get more than one protectors so you get multiple cracks at getting this right … then there’s the clean room option.
Just want buyers to be aware. Hope you find this useful.
4 Stars No bubbles
I haven’t tried a huge number of screen covers, but this is the first that didn’t leave bubbles. There is a stiffer plastic on top for application, and if you slowly let the cover down onto the iPod as the glue does it’s magic, there are zero bubbles. I was amazed. It does show smudges a little more than the naked screen, but then again now you can wipe it on anything (even the included tiny microfiber cloth) and not worry about scratching the screen.
4 Stars 4 AND 1/2 STARS rating
FYI (since it seems that different sellers are selling different products under the same product page), I bought this product from AccessoryOne. I’m rating the product 4 1/2 stars because of the confusing description that includes the exact words “Doesnt Not fit IPod Touch 2nd Generation.” Intended wording or not, how confusing can you get with that wording that left me wondering if this screen protector would fully cover the face of my 2G iPod Touch. It doesn’t. If you put this screen protector on your 2G Touch, there is a small rim of space–slightly <1mm all around--on the screen left exposed. If you want the whole screen completely covered, this product is not for you.
BUT here’s why you may not mind the gap:
1) if you buy a case that covers that small gap, you’ll be good anyway.
2) The gap makes it easier to remove the screen protector to clean it and reapply.
This 2nd point is a feature I think I’ll enjoy most about this product. The instructions that come with the product say you can use the space to more easily peel off the protector, rewash it with plain water, let it air dry, and reapply. I think it will work because when I was applying it, I accidentally got some Kleenix lint on it; so, I peeled the protector back more, used a damp cloth to wipe off the lint with no problems and no stickiness, let it dry a bit, then continued to let it fall back onto the screen.
Two other pluses:
!) AccessoryOne quickly mailed this product out.
2) The protector is thick enough to “fall” easily onto the screen with little to no bubbling when applying it.
3) The protector is also thin enough to where you don’t notice it at all (nice and clear) once it’s on, and it doesn’t affect the sensitivity of the screen.
4 Stars Overall Satisfactory Purchase
This was fine for me since all I actually needed was the cleaning cloth since I somehow lost mine. The cover was junk though, it didn’t completely fit it was too small and it was ugly the way it didn’t cover the edges. So if your getting this for the cover don’t the cleaning cloth is good just not nearly as good as the one Apple gave me. The major difference is that Apple’s cleaning cloth actually removes the oil/greasiness from the screen and makes it just as when you first opened it; pristinely clean. The iKross version just moves around the oil but gets up anything other than oil. It doesn’t do anything but give it a buffed look in terms of the oil. You have to use water, unlike the Apple version, to remove all of the grease. I’m satisfied with it overall, it does what I need it to do, plus, I don’t mind sprinkling a little water on my iTouch once in a while to completely clean the screen. May think of getting the 3GS since its’ said to not leave fingerprints etc.
