Here is my honest and unbiased opinion on the Wrapsol Original iPhone 4 scratch proof protection system. Pics below.
Rating system 1 poor - 5 excellent
Ease of installation: 3 Installation of the front and back pieces was actually very easy. It is a wet application. Simply spray solution on your finger tips and on the adhesive side of the protector, apply, slide into place, and squeegee. The wet application is much more forgiving compared to dry. Why did it get a 3? Side pieces were poorly designed and required stretching to fit into place. The combination of wet application (small pieces don't stay put when still wet), all the stretching, and the poor fit make the side pieces almost impossible to apply straight.
Quality: 2 Front and back pieces fit fine and as mentioned above the side pieces suck. The front screen protector has a light but very noticable orange peel effect. I don't want the stuff on my car paint, and i don't want it on my beautiful iPhone. The front protector also has some defects. There are two very noticeable vertical lines. Wrapsol suggests letting the skin sit to self heal, but it has not healed after a week.
Also worth mentioning. Upon opening my package, it looked like someone just got done shaving and forgot to wash up. There was a bunch of tiny bits of hair (as well as some cardboard bits and other debris) stuck to the edges of the screen protectors. Very poor quality control.
On a positive note, the back matte skin is beautiful.
Value: 2 MSRP is $24.95 plus $4.95 shipping. I would consider this a mediocre (border line poor) value. Poor design and fit of the sides make it a hassle to install and it will likely fall off with regular use. In fact some pieces are already starting to peel. Front protector is almost worthless (to me) due to the orange peel and defects. The only thing i would consider keeping is the rear matte protector. However at a total price of $29.90, it is simply not worth it. I would consider buying a rear matte protector if they sold it individually for less than $10. There is a 20% discount code available if you search hard enough, but i feel it is unfair to factor this because most buyers will not know of this discount.
Notes If it wasn't for the dropped calls and data hang-ups, i wouldn't bother with installing the side pieces. The stainless steel trim/antennae are not prone to scratching and they are the only durable pieces of the phone.
I will be returning the Wrapsol. Next up i will be trying the SGP Incredible Shield Ultra Matte. Look for that review shortly.
