Get ready to laugh....
So as mentioned I got the screen protectors.
Pros: Looks very cool. Super slick, like the factory protector, but much thicker. I think if something hit it, or I even used a knife point on the screen it would be protected. It is a really thick plastic, and feels durable. I love the mirror finish of the device screen now. Bling, but not to much. Perfect.
Cons: I did have to jack up my brightness, which shortens battery life somewhat. It has a slight moray rainbow pattern. Very easy to look past but took a bit of understanding as to why it existed. The aforementioned thickness makes the plastic not flush with the screen. Not a dealbreaker in any stretch.
Me: I got the 2 pack. Hilarious Engrish on the pack. The package has a small card for pushing out air bubbles and a small cloth for cleaning prior to placing the film down. The film is sandwiched between 2 throwaway plastic layers, one to protect the shiny silver and the other to protect the adhesive (safe for your device) side. I actually got the shiny side to stick to my phone via a static like stick. I pulled away the film on the other side and had this very tacky not so shiny side collecting all my fingerprints. It was then I realized that I had it applied reverse. Oh am I glad I got 2. So enjoy my mistake and hopefully you won't make it too. (I laughed, after I realized my mistake. Hopefully you enjoy it.)
Air Bubbles: I took my time and applied it really slowly and still had a few. I used a real credit card and slowly worked them out, and then about 24 hours later the slight "circle" where the bubble had been disappeared. Be aware that this was a bit annoying until it did, but patience paid off.
