Anti-Glare Film

Awesome product.. and I've found a secret to application.

I love this new version of the "film set". The anti-glare matte finish is wonderful, it provides a very satisfying feel (great traction) while significantly reducing any annoying glare. It looks just like the old powerbooks (whose screens I loved).

Ok, the SECRET.. if you weren't lucky enough to apply the film perfectly on the first try (free of those pesky "dust bubbles"), try this:

After a failed application, I took some packing tape and picked up some lint from my shirt (as it is VERY important to reduce the stickiness). I then placed the tape on the film and lifted it clean off of the iphone screen (started at the top). Then, instead of rinsing the film under warm water to remove dust particles (as stated on the package), I used that same piece of not-so-sticky packing tape to remove the dust particles from the sticky side of the film and iphone. After that, I just carefully rolled it back on (bottom to top).

Using the tape seemed much safer than trying to scratch up the corner of the film for removal, and it was much less messy than rinsing the entire thing.

Give it a shot.. it worked for me! Just make sure that the packing/scotch/whatever tape isn't too sticky. Also be sure to take your time.. good luck!

Anti-Glare Film

THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!

First of All...I am Alex not JK!

Second...

When I first got my iPhone, I bought the Power Support Crystal Jacket Set which came with the non anti-glare version of this film set. I liked how it protected the screen, but there was one HUGE problem....FINGERPRINTS! Everywhere. I think that I had more fingerprints with the non anti-glare than I did with out it. So...I tried the Anti-Glare Film Set. Finally! No more fingerprints. I love this product if you want the best film set, this is it. It is the same price as the non anti-glare film set and is a billion times better. I do however reccomend that you ask a genuis at the Apple Store to put it on for you. It can be difficult to put on and some how....they can do it! They must be geniuses or something! Well that about wraps it up. Buy this, buy the Contour Showcase, and protect your iPhone. Good Luck! (Remember- Anti Glare Film Set for iPhone and Contour Showcase)

Great!

It's almost impossible to see any fingerprints on this matte-finish coating, and it's much easier to type on the phone because it makes the surface a little less slippery. Love it. It took a couple of times to apply it dead-center, but now that it's on, it looks perfect.

Great Product - Take your time in applying it.

I've used the crystal film version of this product before on my iPod, along with the Invisible Shield product on my iPhone. The "static cling" is quite strong and holds up well, without leaving residue if you need to remove the product. The matte surface on the anti-glare version is nice as it minimizes fingerprints as well as minimizing glare. The slightly textured surface allows your fingers to glide easily along the screen, making the phone even nicer to use. It feels like youre running your fingers along the back of the iPhone. The phone's display does get a touch more fuzzy, due to the film's matte finish, but i think the glare reduction and nice surface make it a winner. If you want the absolute greatest display crispness, stick with the "crystal" version of this product.

The application is what may trip some folks up. If you live in a dust free environment, it's easy to apply. If dust gets in between this film and the iPhone's glass, it will show up and not look very good. Cleaning the phone display is easy, as it's glass. Since they use some type of silicone on the backside of the film for the static cling, you can remove any dust that sticks to it by rinsing it under some warm water. Don't try to dry the film! If you do, you'll get more gunk on it from your towel, etc. I chose to reapply it slightly wet, which actually worked out very well! The water droplets left on the film helped to keep air bubbles from forming between the film and the glass. Take you time and work on applying it from one end to the other. Patience is important and taking your time will result in a great looking application. All screen protectors require careful application in a clean environment and this one gets 5 stars for a great fit on the iPhone and working as advertised. It even comes with a spare piece of film, so both my wife and I will have anti-glare on our phones. Not bad for fifteen bucks!

Bought this product yesterday. I love it. It goes on easy and stays on. You can't even tell that it is on the phone. If you like the anti-glare look of an LCD monitor than this it the perfect protectent film for you.
