Ipad screen protector

Moshi iVisor AG Works Well for Me.

I tried iCon with my wife's iPad and had nothing but problems - lots of bubbles that I could not get out and I went though both screens after 30 minutes each trying to get a dust free, bubble free install. My wife lived with my best effort (a few bubbles near the top) but I could sense she was not happy. I did not want to pay Best Buy to install Zagg so I did some research and found this product:

In 10 seconds after opening the package I had a perfect bubble free install - as the product actually rests on top of the screen - so you just lay the black border of the product over the iPad black border, smooth it down and voila!

My wife loves it and so do I (no complaints here and they even shipped to Canada too).
 
My PowerSupportUSA antiglare came with defects.. I opened a case with them in JUNE of last year... they have basically ignored a replacement.

This was after numerous emails, and pictures taken and sent to them.. they just didn't reply.

AVOID them.

I find that hard to believe. I purchased the PS Crystal Film for my iPad in August and when I removed the first one from the package, a bit of the glue from the package transferred on to the sheet.

I called them...sent them a pic WHILE I was on the phone with them...and I had a new replacement within a couple days.
 
Well, iemailed them AGAIN before I posted that..and still got no response...

Seriously this is fekkin retarded. Worst.customer.support.ever.

Ironic from a company called power support eh?

I wouldn't spend five bucks with them again. Ignored for six months by support..I cant even get an answer...screen arrived caked in dust with defects...and it's expensiive for what it is. With basically no warranty.

Honestly, if they treat people like this, I don't know how they are in business.

Looks slick. Since it doesn't stick to the screen, do you feel any "pop" of the film separating? Any impressions after further use?
 
Question: for those of you installing these shields, has anyone used the technique to go into your bathroom, run the shower at full hot to create steam so no dust is in the air, and try to install on your sink counter? Does that actually work or is it a fable?

I ordered one for my iPad a couple weeks ago. Defect upon opening, took pic and fired off email. Had a shipping notice same day and in my hands in two days. Love the protector and the support was awesome! Are you sure a spam filter isn't grabbing their emails or something?
 
Is the Power support clear protector easier to put on than the Zagg Invisishield HD?

I've had three put on at the mall and they all still have dust particles and hair. I'm starting to think it will be impossible to get a perfect install.
 
Zagg HD. Have always used them and I have gotten great at installing. I would not trust Best Buy or someone in the mall to do it. Just do it yourself...use lots of solution so you can move the screen around.

The HD is nearly invisible. Smooth glass like surface makes it MUCH better than the older non HD version
 
I think the issue is that they can't see the particles and I notice them later on in the day when the film is drying.

I would check it heavily before leaving if you are having it installed.

I would take it back and have them do it again if you are not satisfied

Yes, I 'm going to go over it thoroughly next time since this is the fourth trip and cover.

What is the best one?

Very old OP but: As with any topic, "best" is meaningless without clarification. What are your priorities with screen protectors? What you you like or dislike?

Otherwise you just get people pushing whatever they're currently using.

Definitely not. There's always the shower trick to reduce dust though that won't help you if you're getting them installed at mall kiosks.
 
If you're looking for a long lasting protector then i'd highly recommend ArmorSuit from amazon. It doesnt' have the orangeish affect some other brands do. Plus it comes with a life time warranty which is pretty nice. Hope this helps!

Any recommendations on where to buy the Best iPhone Screen Protector at the best price? I'm looking for one now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try http://monoprice.com that's where I purchased my iPad screen protectors @ $1.67 a piece and the quality is very good. :D

Keep in mind, order enough to offset the shipping cost. There's a coupon for a 10% discount on any order. You may have to do a search for that.
 
I was going to order on eBay but didn't want to risk it not fitting properly..
I went with powersupport for the 3rd time and I know I won't be disappointed. The extra cost is worth my peace of mind.
 
I use a Skinomi kit on mine. I notice zero screen distortion and the feel is very close to naked. If I wanted to try something else it might be GhostArmor.
 
your thread topic is very broad lol. what do you mean by Best? definitely everyone has their own opinions.
 
I use to use invisible shield on all my devices but don't anymore. I have come to the realization that I would rather enjoy my device with nothing covering the screen.

With that being said if you do want a screen protector I would recommend invisible shield. But they are pretty darn hard to install. No matter how hard you try it is nearly impossible to install one without a piece of dust or two getting stuck underneath it. Installing it in a steamy bathroom does help a lot though. Also use plenty of the solution, if you don't use enough then you can't adjust it properly and have to peel it on and off to get it in place instead of simply sliding it around.

Also if you screw up just wait a week and request a replacement because your's was "damaged" while protecting your device. ;) It is a completely automated system and they ask no questions. For $40 a screen protector i think they can afford a free replacement or two. I went through three screen protectors before I finally gave up on them and I even consider myself an experienced screen protector installer. I always manage to get my friend's and family's protectors perfect but screw all mine up.

Cheers and good luck!
