iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone SE 2020 iPhone 8 /7 /6 /6s 4.7 inch Case Friendly Easy Install (1-Pack 0.33MM 9H 2.5D)

More like 4.5 stars. I really like this screen protector.Tips to avoid problems:This may sound like plain common sense but a lot of people don't do a practice run first. Place the screen saver with protective film still on over your phone's screen to get an idea of what you're dealing with. When you can picture where it needs to go, you'll have less surprises later (you can't reposition once even part of it is placed on phone).Something that I learned from window tinting, clean, clean, CLEAN THAT SCREEN! The one thing that will hinder the adhesive from sticking properly is dirt, dust, and oil. It has to be cleaned just before you apply. Not clean, walk away, then come back and apply. It only takes a second for dust in the atmosphere to settle back. Use the wet cleaning cloth that comes with it and wipe from one side to the opposite...not in a circular motion. After it's been cleaned and dried with the little shammie, don't touch the screen with your fingers as you may deposit unseen oils back onto the screen. This is the reason why some people have spots that won't stick.After reading the other reviews I made sure to line up the side edges with the edges of the screen as perfectly as possible. Since the screen saver doesn't allow any room for error, you really have to be sure both sides are perfectly aligned edge to edge. If you do not do this, you may see an extra line down the side of your screen when you turn on your screen. It really has to be close to exact. If you have a white iPhone, it shouldn't be a problem to line up. But if you have a black one, you may want to turn your screen on to a relatively white webpage so you can get a good contrast on where the edges of your screen are.Be aware of the type of lighting you are using when working on this! Here is where I goofed... I was working with a lamp that was directed towards my work area from a side angle. It's hard to explain but after aligning the side edges with the screen, I had to align the top (speaker and camera) and bottom (home button). Well the side lighting created the smallest hint of a shadow through the screen saver. The screen saver is so ridiculously clear, that you can easily mistaken the shadow for the edges of the screensaver. I had lined up the protector perfectly, even centering the hole over the camera. When I finished applying, I realized that it was never centered, the circular hole that I lined up with was just the shadow. I ended up covering part of the front camera. Fortunately the top and bottom are much more forgiving than the sides. I just happened to have my phone sideways when I was working on it, therefore I had shadows going through the top and bottom of my protector. Had I been working on my phone in a vertical position I'm sure I would have been thrown off by the shadow enough to run into the same issues as others with the rainbow line. I can easily see why so many people are having problems aligning the side edges perfectly. Fortunately the front camera still works fine and I didn't cover the home button up. But for a perfectionist that was a bit of a bummer.Pros:The application tabs make all the difference. Without them I would have struggled to get this centered without getting oil and prints all over it.Crystal clear. Not a single bubble, no rainbows, etc. I personally don't mind that it's smaller than the face of the phone. It's so clear that it's barely noticeable. And when compared to the alternative, sticky film, it will stay looking this way for much longer. Sticky films tend to get lint stuck to it, edges lift, appear dull, feel funny to the touch, and scratch easily. Not to mention that they never really look as clear as they should be.Applied easily, didn't have to work it in much or smooth it out. Sort of dropped into place literally once any part of it was lowered to the phone. Watch out for that!Comes with screen cleaner, shammie, dust removal stickers, stickers to remove old screensaver, and card squeegee (not that you'll need it).Lays very flat even with the slight goof. No edges are lifting and none are over curved parts of screen.Significant reduction in fingerprints. There's barely any...no smudges either.Screen saver feels really smooth to touch. Much Smoother than without it. If you use Swype, you're going to really like this.Retails for $29.95! I'd say it's a bargain on Amazon.Cons: I already expected it to be smaller than the actual screen. Could they have made this a 0.5mm wider to make things a bit easier for us? I think so. But then you also increase the chances of the edges lifting. Just food for thought, but if the screen protector were to be wider, you would have even less wiggle room to play with. It would be less forgiving because now you're even closer to the curved edge than before. Still I do wonder if this was deliberate or just an oversight? Other than not having tips for application, I can't say I've found any cons yet. We applied two of these tonight for 2 phones without major issues and didn't use the stickers nor squeegee. I can't comment on the durability of it yet, but will be back to update if anything happens to it.

I've only been using the protector for just over 30 hours, but here are my initial thoughts.CONS:*While I understand the protector is meant to only fit the flat portion of the screen, I feel it could have been a hairbreadths wider. It isn't quite covering the entire width of the flat portion. I can still see a bit of white from the 1-2 mm that isn't covered on either side.*It isn't anti-fingerprint. By the end of the day the screen was a hot mess, and I had to give it a thorough wiping.PROS*It could not have been easier to install! Literally, stress-free! There were NO BUBBLES! There were NO BUBBLES ANYWHERE! That has never happened to me before with any screen protector installation. After I lined it up, I put it once and that was that. No squeegeeing necessary. I never even removed it from the package.*It's so smooth! My finger just glides across the screen! It feels exactly like the real screen underneath.*The clarity is amazing! If it wasn't for the fact that the protector doesn't cover the entire screen, anyone looking at it would assume that my screen is naked. I've never experienced this type of clarity with any HD clear screen protector before...ever, and I've used some very well known brands in the past. They don't hold a candle to tempered glass.* NO GLARE in sunlight! I almost did the happy dance but I knew I would look ridiculous.SUMMARYI really like the screen protector. I like it so much I will be buying one for my iPad. Time will tell if it will withstand the abuse of daily life. I am a klutz. If I can break it I will, I guarantee, which is the reason all of my devices are screen and case protected. I can't drop a few hundred bucks for a new one if something happens to the one I have, so I'm very proactive about keeping my devices protected. That being said, I can't get over the fact that the entire screen, rounded portion included, isn't covered. I just can't, and my paranoia that I'm going to do something that is going damage the corners increases my anxiety. Yes, it's case protected, but that isn't enough for me. The instant a tempered glass protector that covers the entire screen is on the market, I'll be buying a replacement. If that isn't going to be an issue for you, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller.Be sure to go through all the options to make sure you're really getting the tempered glass. Many merchants, this one included, has the plastic HD protectors included in their buying options. Also, it comes in different millimeters of thickness which of course may effect the price. I don't understand the benefits and risks of one thickness over another and the website doesn't provide any information on this point. I hope this helps you guys make an informed buying choice. As time goes on, I will update this review if necessary.
