amFilm Screen Protector iPhone Tempered
My friend Well Endowed tell us 11/10 PRODUCT!!!.
This screen protector is fantastic and I wish I could rate it 6 stars. In a horrific chain of events I tragically dropped my phone from approximately 4 3/4 feet directly onto cold hard pavement littered with gravel. (Dropped it out my car window) I hesitantly exited my vehicle and then proceeded to step directly on top of the phone which was screen side down. To my dismay I observed multiple cracks on the screen of my almost new iPhone 8. I then did the drive of shame back home where I could more closely observe the catastrophic damage to my phone screen. I slowly pulled it out of my pocket as a single tear ran down my face. Suddenly I was overcome with an epiphany. I had purchased and installed this glass protector on my phone. Is it possible that my screen was still intact? Is it possible that this 8 dollar product saved me from replacing my entire screen? I slowly peeled back the screen and was filled with joy. I haven't felt joy like this since I opened up my Nintendo 64 one 1990's Christmas morning. My screen was unscathed. I snapped a picture of the decimated screen cover, and gave it a proper viking burial. Thank you for your service tempered glass screen protector.
My Buddy Julie L. tell us Bad choice for the iPhone 8.
This does not adhere to the edges of an iPhone 8 well at all. I would not buy this if you have an 8. I’ve had no issues with the same brand for the X, but there must be a contour to the screen on the edge of the 8 that it just doesn’t work well with
My Old Chap TomD said Great....for 5 months. Won't honor warranty.
I bought the glass screen protector in February for my daughter's phone. Application was fine and worked great. After about 5 months, the glass layers started to separate and even chipped around the home button. I contacted the manufacturer directly to inquire about a warranty replacement since it has a "lifetime" warranty. They wouldn't honor the warranty because it wasn't bought direct through them. It was supplied by a 3rd party vendor here on Amazon. I didn't pick the vendor. It was the vendor that was providing Prime shipping.
If you expect them to honor the warranty, only purchase it direct from the manufacturer. Very shady situation.
On a plus side, the Amazon customer service was great and took care of me for this issue. Just don't buy anything from amFilm since they don't want to honor their warranty.
My Old Fellow Hardcore Harley said TechMatte: The Best Of The Best.
I'm "that guy" who researches everything to the "nth degree." Five years ago I bought my entire family our first smart phones (iPhone 5). I took the new iPhones to the closest Big Box store to purchase screen protectors. There wasn't a great deal of choice then so I went with what the employees recommended which happened to be the most expensive screen protector--and at that time most highly rated--on the market. The employee at the said Big Box store offered free installation on all the phones. At the price they were charging I thought I'll have somebody with lots of experience doing this make sure it is done right. My daughters' phones were done okay, my wife's phone was "so-so", but my phone was done poorly. Lots of dust under the screen protector and what appeared to be two small creases. I asked the employee to do it over but he said I would have to pay for a new screen protector. None of this brand's expensive screen protectors fared well over the years, even though we take pretty meticulous care of our things. Lots of scratches and imperfections led me to conclude that brand was not all it was cracked up to be. In fact critical testing proved the surface to be quite soft and prone to scratching. Fast forward five years later and a long overdue upgrade to two iPhone 8's. I made the decision that I would be the one doing the screen protector installation on our two new iPhones. I'm leery of popular items that don't cost much (cheap cost = popularity not quality), but after doing all my homework TechMatte was the clear winner hands down. I purchased three packs (a total of 6 screen protectors) to do our two iPhones figuring I would make at least two attempts per phone. I did my wife's phone first and ended up using the second screen protector due to a small wet spot that just wouldn't squeegee out. Another 20 minute prep session and the second attempt was spot on. Three weeks later I got my iPhone and nailed a perfect install of the protector on the first attempt. Absolute flawless finish. To me the key is to take as much time as needed to do your cleaning and prep work on the phone screen. I took a small flashlight and located every dust or speck left on the screen and kept going over it multiple times with as many of the dust removal strips it took to have a flawless surface for the application. Take at least 20 minutes--or more--to prep the screen and you'll end up with a great finish. Just don't rush the process. As to longevity, I'm already convinced that the TechMatte protector is much tougher than the expensive brand I used on our prior iPhones. But even if these don't last for several years, I already have three spare screen protectors on standby I can apply if needed. As far as I'm concerned, TechMatte is the Best of the Best. Believe the hype, they're that good! Do the installation yourself and do it right. No more Big Box stores for me.
My Buddy Jamibc said Must have forever more!.
Afraid I’m not very good at remembering to write reviews, even for products that impress me, but I just had to do so for this one, so here we go....
Buy these. If you value your phone’s screen… Now! Because I am so clumsy and accident prone and somewhat famous for how many times I can drop my phone, having a good case has always been a top priority. My husband & I typically never buy the extra insurance or warranties for products but have actually started doing so with my iphones.... yeah, I’m that bad 😏 Never put a whole lot of thought into the actual screen protector, however when buying my last case on here, I went ahead and bought these as well.
Fast forward about a year & dagummit, I did it: had managed to drop my phone just right and just enough times that, even with a good case, I had cracked the screen a tiny bit in a couple places along the edges & corners… A “spider vein” was starting to work it’s way across the middle and I was scratching my finger a bit on those messed up spots. So, made an appointment at my local Apple Store, prepared to pay that small fee to get a new screen put on my phone. But then the nice, helpful Apple guy gets it, takes a look at it briefly from a couple of angles, looks at me and says “have you taken the screen protector off?” I had a screen protector?? Oh yeah, totally forgot I had even bought those and put that on here! “Do you mind if I take this off to take a look?” Of course not, my good sir… Just fix my baby and put her back in my hot little hands! He then proceeds to carefully peel off this wonderful piece of engineered awesomeness and hands it to me, saying “this saved your phone’s screen” - the screen was absolutely, 100% intact?! This innocuous-looking piece of thin glass had absorbed all of my damage and that was it - left there without my cracked up protector but a giddy girl..... husband laughed at me, because I was so excited that my clumsy, gracelessness actually had a happy ending to its’ tale for a change 😁
I immediately came home and placed an order for two more, since 2 come in a package; one for mine & teen daughter’s phones & another package to keep on hand, JUST IN CASE!
So, thank you, you awesome people and keep it up! This seven or so dollar investment is probably one of the best ones I have ever made… Clumsy and phone-dropping people; heed my cry and place your orders pronto!
My Buddy Amazon Customer said One drop and my phone is shattered and in need of replacement..
This warrants my first ever review of a product I have bought online. I dropped my phone with a shockproof case and this screen protector on after having it only for a couple weeks. The result? I pick up my phone to see the most cracks I have ever had to deal with. I thought to myself, "Well I will just peel the protector off since I am sure it absorbed the shock and I have another that came with it." Turns out the screen protector only had a crack or 2 in it and the damage went almost entirely into the screen itself. With my past screen protector given to me by the Verizon store, I dropped my phone bunches of times worse on pavement but turns out its a one and done for this screen protector. I would love to be reimbursed for this product that is not up to industry standard but I guess that probably won't happen. I am in awe that is "Amazon's Choice."
My Old Fellow Munchies Talk Does not fit right!!.
I have an iPhone 7. I have purchased multiple times this type of screen protectors, this specific brand 3 times last yea for my phone. Now I’m not sure what is different from last year, or if this is a new version or what’s going on, but they don’t fit right, I have the edge all around does not touch the screen and gives the effect of a white frame all around and instantly accumulates dust. I’ve never had this issue before and in the past I have replaced more than 6 protectors between my phone and my wife’s phone so I kind of know what I’m talking about.
My Old Fellow Joe V. say Waste of money!.
These are complete garbage, they crack and break way too easily. It makes no sense, they fit the phone just fine and do not overlap the sides, yet both screen savers only lasted a few days before I noticed cracks across the entire length. I also have an outer phone case installed, which does not come close to touching these screen protectors, but help keep anything from ever touching these protectors. I suggest trying a different brand before using this product.
My Old Chap Charles K. said Disappointed in amFilm tempered glass screen protector.
There are two brands that I typically go to for tempered glass screen protection but decided to give amFilm a shot as it was listed as an "Amazon's Choice" item for my phone with consideration to the number of positive versus negative reviews. Although my iPhone 8 is brand new, I still took the time to properly clean and prepare the phone for application. First application, perfect alignment but the edges of the glass would not adhere to the screen. Removed the first glass screen protector, prepared my phone for the second. Applied the second glass screen protector, had the same results, perfect alignment but edges would not adhere to the screen. First time, I understand. Two times, it is a fitment issue or QC issue or both.
My Buddy Cher1980 Talk Issues with one but overall good for the price!.
Let me start by saying that It’s a great price for 2 glass screen protectors.
However,
I was a little disappointed when I opened it and the first one I slid out of the foam cover was cracked on the corner.
I pulled the second one out and it was fine. With 3 teenagers and all the electronics,over the years, I’ve become a pro at finding good and bad brands as well as putting them on.
I was pleased to see that unlike others the dust didn’t magically appear when I took the plastic wrap off the sticky side like other brands. That’s a bonus!
There is a small bend on the right side top corner of the second one currently on my screen.
Instead of curving to mold to the screen it’s wanting to bend outward. It was fine when I first put it on so I’m not sure how it bent. I don’t carry my phone with me inside the house everywhere since I use Bluetooth. Outside elements are not an issue since I’m mostly at home due to Chronic Migraines.
The protests my screen and doesn’t scratch. It’s easy to clean.
I wasn’t too concerned about causing a fuss over the first cracked one because it’s a good price and most places charge that for just one....plus I just don’t have the energy to argue over a few dollars. I’m hoping that the second one that is on now will last me awhile.
I could have just been a bad batch. It seems to be doing good except for the one corner. Overall it’s nice.
