Spigen EZ FIT Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2 Pack]

In 2019 I purchased this Spigen tempered glass screen protector for an IPhone XR because it advertised an easy, virtually bubble free application. I have used only Spigen cases for a while now, and have been more than impressed with them, so figured..why not? My ex-husband applied it for me, since his eyesight is much better than mine, and he is a perfectionist. There was a very slight bubble on the right edge of the screen, which he simply could not get out, but it did not interfere with anything and was so minutely visible, that I forgot I even had a screen protector on my phone. Fast forward to July 2023, and a bazillion hours of Iphone usage, several hundred catastrophic drops from all heights and angles later, I awoke to find the right side of my screen cracked, right where the bubble had been. Knowing what it cost and the time involved to have the screen replaced, (I am on fixed income and live 130 miles one way from the closest repair center) I was sick. I decided to research whether or not I could replace the screen myself. Thankfully, the first article I chose stated that lots of times, it is the screen protector and not the screen that is broken! OMG! I had forgotten that I had a screen protector on my phone! I slowly but easily removed the protector from my phone, and lo and behold, my iPhone screen was just as sparkling clean and perfectly intact as the day it was bought!I immediately ordered another Spigen screen protector! You receive 2 in each order, but I have moved and still in the process of unpacking, so no clue where the 2nd protector is, and don’t care. The cost if only for one, is MORE THAN WORTH THE PRICE! When I received the protector, which came much quicker than the MAJORITY of AMAZON PRIME shipments these days, I took a deep breath, cleaned my glasses, pulled up my big girl britches, and followed the very simple application video on Amazon and the instructions to the letter.Perfectly flawless application! Zero bubbles, lined up perfectly! It is on my good ole iPhone so nicely, that I will most likely, forget that it is on my phone again. I cannot recommend ANY AND ALL SPIGEN products enough.

This makes for a very easy review. Ever since we started putting screen covers on our mobile/cell phones a little over a decade ago, the procedure has been a nightmare. Most of us live in a dusty, dirty urban or dusty rural environment which gives rise to dust and/and or dirt particles in the air—even inside our homes, apartments, condos or town homes. There’s simply no getting around it. So, putting a glass screen protector on an iPhone or similar is practically impossible without issue. Our hands shake and other things we can’t control occur causing the placement of the protector to go onto the phone’s screen off-kilter. In my experience, I have never yet been completely successful in placing a glass screen protector on a phone’s screen EXACTLY as it was meant to be. UNTIL NOW!Spigen has finally come up with the answer. Since my last phone was the iPhone 7+ which was purchased over two years ago, this method used by Spigen might not be brand new, but it’s new to ME and could be new to you. AND IT’S FANTASTIC.Before starting the installation process make sure you have removed the somewhat hard to remove heat-dried thin plastic lining that Spigen lines the outside and inside of the Ultra Hybrid Case (assuming you are using one of the Spigen cases to go along with the Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector. Failure to do so will cause you to use the second screen protector provided in the box by Spigen).Following their instructions, this NEARLY eliminates all possibility for error. As always, they provide all the tools necessary for installation; and to that end, Spigen has added an installation tray to ease the pain. Once you have used the wet cloth for cleaning the screen and phone if you desire to, I recommend laying the cleaned phone on a flour-bag kitchen towel because of the lack of lint. Then I use their provided soft microfiber cloth to wipe down any streaks left by the wet cloth and any remaining fingerprints or other debris left that have settled onto the phone’s screen at no fault of your own.After all that is done, I blow my phone’s screen off with non-moist canned air as an added precaution (air not provided). Then you should use any of the four (4) stickers provided to lift off any still-invisible particles before the final stage. Next, peel the cover off the plastic installation kit and place the phone screen-down into the installation case/kit. Turn it over and place the phone now inside the kit on something lint free such as the aforementioned flour-sack towel. The instructions to all these steps are on a small piece of paper in animation form without words. On this now-obverse side face-up, written instructions tell you to push your finger from the top to the bottom of the slit that is carved out of this side of the plastic kit—this helps press the glass screen protector to the phone’s screen. After 30 seconds, remove the tape that covers the slot, and lift this case away from the phone.With the phone face-up, immediately take the non-handled squeegee and from the center of the screen rub toward the outer edges of the screen until the bubbles are completely removed.If after doing this, one or more bubbles seem to linger with a dot in the middle, this is caused by a tiny speck of dust or dirt that landed on the phone’s screen even after you cleaned off the screen. As I said, it’s virtually impossible to live in a completely clean environment. Although it has been the suggestion by manufacturers to lift up the screen only as far as necessary to attempt to remove the small speck, and then lay down the cover again, and use the squeegeee to stick the glass protector back onto the screen to rub out the bubble, I strongly don’t recommend it because I have found that once removed, it never sticks to the screen as well the second time as it did the first time. It’s best to leave well enough alone or to purchase another Spigen Screen Protector and try again. Remember, there are two complete sets in each box. So with each attempt, you always have two tries before being forced to purchase another.This particular glass protector does not lessen any feel of touch by finger or stylus away were it not placed on the screen one iota. Highly recommended for it’s quality and lack of loss or feel of touch, and especially for it’s ease—finally—of installation.Whether or not you purchase a Spigen Case for your Mobile Phone, all smartphones need protecting by a Tempered Glass Screen Protector and with Spigen’s latest case and provided tools to use to install these screen protectors, Spigen has risen above the masses of manufacturers by taking the guesswork of how to place the screensaver onto the screen as well as making it the most foolproof installation—ever!
