anyone have these on the front of their iPhone? i have the iPhone4 and i am scared that it will hinder the new screen. will it truly be invisible or will i see a orange peel look, which is wht i have heard.
 
I JUST applied mine about 1/2 hour ago. So far so good, screen is clear, swiping works fine (not glossy glide but there is no degradation in performance). Mine hasn't cured all the way yet so I don't know how sexy its going to look on a angle in the sun, but you know what?

I don't much care. It will look better than a ugly ass scratch running down the screen. Orange peels on angles in the sun or no.

Nothing is perfect, decide what is important to you and forge ahead.
 
I put Zagg on also. I learned the hard way not to overwork it once you have it down. I might have put a mark in the skin from the squeegee while trying to get a bubble out. Now that it's done, I balanced the phone on its edge between some padded books and look forward to seeing how it adheres overnight. I figured keeping both sides open and airy will lead to a nice result on both sides.

One complaint is the cut outs. The weren't cut deep enough to simply pull them away and I had to X-Acto blade them away before releasing from the liner. Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible to remove them cleanly after application without either tearing the hole design, or scratching the glass underneath that precise spot.

I've got mine on edge too. :)
