hi all, I'd previously posted concerning my recently-acquired iris film for my 4s... I made clear my dislike of this belkin film - to the amusement that so many others give it rave reviews.
despite not liking the belkin iris, I decided to reluctantly stick with it until I upgrade to the yet-to-be released iphone later this year. but I experienced a hiccup yesterday that I think will drive me back to a power support film sooner rather than later. I was on a grocery run, and I had my phone in my front pocket with my keys while shopping. in less than ten minutes, my keys scratched the iris film fairly well. I should point out that I'm fairly careful with my phones, and by no means is putting a phone in the same pocket as you keys something that is considered rough. my power support films have taken way more abuse and come away unblemished. I'm just amazed at how delicate these iris film are. by contrast, my last ps film last one & half years and had only one scratch/gouge.
i've included a pic of the scratches - they are many and they are not superficial. and they are distracting and warrant an imminent film change.
I should also point out that i'm not pro power support film - indeed if there is another film out there that provides a durable, matte finish, then i'm game. i'm just not seeing the pros of a belkin iris when compared to the iphone's gorilla glass. i also don't want to be seen as a hater. rather, i think it's important to communicate the characteristics and differences between films since they cannot be handled and viewed at stores.
