Supershieldz Protector Anti Glare Anti Fingerprint Replacements
My Old Neighbor Danniel A. experience Good Product, hard to put on right..
Product came in late. So I was disappointed in that. Pretty difficult to put on due to the large surface area. But once you get it on perfectly it's really helpful. I hate the glare that you get with the MacBook, and this screen protector definitely takes that away. Sadly, my hands are also constantly sweaty, so with a glossy screen, I leave fingermark ALL OVER the screen. If you're like me, I would highly suggest buying this product. It protects the screen from scratches and fingerprints, but it does not take away from the quality resolution that the MacBook offers which is great. Like I said earlier, it is difficult to put on perfectly. Take your time and be patient with it. You want to get it on right the first time. I messed up the first time and got it perfect the 2nd time.
Tips for putting it on:
- Make sure the bottom of the screen protector perfectly aligns with the bottom of the screen. This will help immensely.
- Make sure there are no dust on the screen, because it will create air bubbles. Move slowly
- Backtrack slightly if you notice an air bubble
My friend Emily Caples said Worth it..
I used this product for my 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touchbar (refurb, if it matters). I like that the finish is matte: other users are right that the matte looks (better and) more resistant to fingerprints than a protector with a shiny finish. I recommend putting this screen protector on immediately, to protect your screen not only from dust and scratches but from anything that may transfer from your keyboard to your screen when closed (food, grease, sweat, dust, etc).
This screen protector fits absolutely perfectly, the close fit between protector size and screen size leaves little room for error. That said, this is the first screen protector for any device ever the I have installed solely on my own (I'm always afraid I'll mess it up so I used to have other people do it for me), but I got it in one slow careful try and it honestly was (1) not difficult, (2) not scary, (3) not time- or even labor-intensive.
In general, follow the instructions that come with the product (although they are explicitly for phones, the principle is the same). I think the key is to start application from the top, not from the sides. Make sure the little hole for the webcam is just right, and then as you remove the non-stick film from the side against the computer screen, smooth out any air bubbles very meticulously as you move down the screen. I ended up just using the card that came with the protectors, and while it was indeed just some cheap cardboard, it was gentle with my screen and it worked perfectly fine for me to get a perfect application.
My last ultrabook was the HP Spectre which had a touchscreen, so while I get used to not having the feature available to me, I keep trying to select things by touching my MacBook's screen. All this to say that before applying the screen protector, I washed off fingerprints VERY gently and repetitively with a damp eyeglass wiping cloth (they're lint free, don't scratch, and are v effective, and drying the damp spots immediately with the microfiber cloth included.
Do not use alcohol to clean the screen, as I'm pretty sure that can ruin a screen over time? Not 100% on that, but I think I read it in a blog post from Apple. I don't particularly feel like looking it up right now, after composing this novella.
My Old Chap Bianca S experience DONT BUY!.
Bought this for my BRAND NEW not even a day old 2018 MacBook Pro, took 3 tries to get on (number of included pieces). Please becaureful you guys the third time i tried pitting it on, i got so frustrated with the bubbles and used the included card to squeeze it out but instead cracked my BRAND NEW MAC screen. Thankfully the people at apple were kind enough to replace my macbookpro. And they advised me that the screen protector does nothing for the screen and never to try to put one on again. Please dont waste your money, you might have to drop another grand to get your screen replaced.
My Old Man Mercedes say Easy Install, Wonderful Fit and great glair protection.
This product I received was a nice quality 3 pack of screen protectors for my new
[2017 MacBook Pro [13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports W/Retina display Model A1708 ] fit perfectly.
Just like putting a screen protector on a cell phone.
CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN YOUR SCREEN BEFORE INSTALL!!!
Mine was a fingerprint nightmare!
It will greatly increase your chances of a perfect install if you clean your screen prior to placement.
Here is how I did mine:::
The line up is a little tough please take your time.
I started by peeling back just a small part of the lining, matching up the edges and then used my own debit/credit card to very gently rub the screen protector over the screen and peel the backing at the same time.
When I came across small air bubbles I slowly lifted it up and smoothed the area down with my card again and continued to peel and smooth until you reach the other edge.
looks great helps with glair and doesn't affect the screen image quality at all. I'm happy i got the 3-pack but i'm not sure if I will need to change it anytime soon, its very securely placed. I have had a very great experience with Supershieldz products, i will continue to buy from them.
My Buddy mettrau tell us Nice MATTE screen protector.
I have to be firm and repeat it, this is a MATTE screen protector!
To me, that is great, matte screen protector removes the sun reflection when using outside. But to many it might be disliked because the screen loses a little bit of the quality. Specially with macbooks that have the best quality monitor of them all... This makes the screen a little "blurry". This does not, and I repeat, really does not, bother me. But I guess many ppl might consider buying a regular screen protector, and not a Matte one.
If you are not sure if this is going to bother you, I'd actually recommend buying and trying. For the price, it comes with 3 protectors inside. You should install and see, I actually liked and might keep it. If it bothers me I can remove and reinstall 2 times with the extra ones. If you hate it, give it away! Many macbook users you know might like it, and for the price, it won't be a bad buy.
My friend Justine Talk Do your research, your screen quality will go down significantly with this screen.
As a first-time MacBook owner, I decided to get this to protect my very expensive, brand new 13" MacBook Pro. I initially bought this specific screen protector because it kept coming up on Amazon as the "best seller" and when I looked at the reviews, it seemed like there was nothing but good things to say...I'm going to include in my review what I honestly wish others had included in theirs to prevent anyone else from experiencing the same regret I'm feeling now.
Like many of the reviews claim, it can be nearly impossible to install this screen without air bubbles, even if you are very careful. It's annoying but isn't the main issue for me. What bothers me is the TERRIBLE quality I'm now seeing on my screen. It honestly looks like someone put a "grain" filter on my screen at the highest possible setting! It's depressing to look at my screen now because my Retina display used to be so beautiful. Upon doing more research, I realized that reduced clarity is to be expected with anti-glare screen protectors, so I realize and do admit that I should have done more research if this was going to be such an issue for me. However, another deal-breaker for me with these screens is the lack of anti-glare. I bought these screens because I work/study/teach from home and therefore spend 14+ hours of every day staring at my screen (by the window), and the anti-glare hardly makes a difference. I really only needed 1 screen but since these came with 3, I'm now stuck with 3 screens that have significantly reduced the quality of my experience working on my MacBook. Even worse, I'm afraid to peel off the screen after applying it almost flawlessly (minimal air bubbles around two corners of my screen) because I've seen reviews where others have tried, failed, and damaged their screens.
Super disappointed in not only myself, but this product. Do your research if you want to avoid what I'm feeling now.
My Buddy David Alan & Sarah Burnett said A PAIN to install but WORTH the effort!.
This was A PAIN to install but WORTH the effort! This product came with 3 screen protectors, and it took me until my 3rd one (& a few tries on that) to finally get it installed correctly... I noticed some reviews say that color, clarity, or brightness suffered as a result of this protector being matte, but I have not noticed any of those things and I routinely do photo editing where quality really counts. After a few months, this product has 100% held up and I am SO thankful that I decided to get it & apply it right when I opened the box for the new product. I think it's going to protect my screen from dust and damage for a VERY long time!
A few tips for installation: (1) Before installation, thoroughly clean your screen. I applied this to a brand new purchase so I did not have to do this, but trust me, once this thing is on, you do not want to be peeling it back off to clean anything underneath. (2) Before peeling off the protective plastic, lay the product flat over your screen to see where the camera hole needs to be. Look for an edge to start with that will keep this hole where it needs to be. For me, one of the side edges worked fine. (3) Make sure there is NOTHING in the room that could be stirring up dust during the application process. For me, this meant turning off my ceiling fan & putting the rowdy dog away. A clean screen is no use if there's dust blowing around while you're working. (4) Apply SLOWLY. I peeled a VERY SMALL section at a time, so that dust had as little chance as possible to land on the exposed sticky surface. I also smoothed every inch of the way with a credit card, and if I missed bubbles that I couldn't seem to scrape, I carefully peeled it back up a little bit and relaid it. You CAN peel it back up & relay a little a time to correct any issues, but do so carefully & sparingly, because it just increases the risk that dust will find its way onto that exposed sticky surface. (5) Don't be afraid to REALLY scrape with the credit card. When I was on my 3rd & final try, I really scraped hard to get those last few bubbles out, and the product 100% survived it. No scratches or damage to the underlying screen at all.
My Fellow Catman tell us RUINED MY SCREEN!!!!.
In trying to be overprotective of my BRAND NEW MAC I ended up messing it up for good.
After one and half years of use removed it since it became yellow and the protector left a two inch glue film on the left side. Tried recommendations by the manufacturers which was alcohol wipes but none of them worked.
If you put it one on I hope you don't have to get it off and if you do hope you don't get the same results I did when you get it off.
TECH SUPPORT WILL NOT HELP BEYOND TELLING YOU TO USE ACHOOL WIPES.
SINCERELY SUPER DISAPPOINTED

My Old Fellow Amazon Customer Talk Good.
Just received them today. It was very easy to apply, I did get a few air bubbles but I worked most of them out. The other ones i can live with. I still have two more as back up. It had a really nice matte-ish finish to it that I really like.
My Old Neighbor Holly Newton said Fantastic Macbook Pro 2018 Screen Protector. NO BUBBLES!.
I would definitely recommend this screen protector for your computer, and I had such a good experience with it, I would buy this brand of screen protector again.
Quality: Very good. When you put it on, it definitely has a noticeable matte finish, but it's still easy to see through. The matte finish helps with glare on the screen. The screen protector is thin and fits the computer well.
Installation: Fantastic!!! This was the best screen protector installation process I've ever had. The manufacturers were smart in the way they set up installation, and I ended up WITH BASICALLY NO BUBBLES! In my prior experience, there's always at least a few bubbles especially at the corners, but in this case I only have 2 very tiny flaws where a piece of dust got caught under the screen. Otherwise, no other air bubbles. And the installation process was pretty easy, and I got it on correctly the first try!
For installation, there are 3 layers
1) flimsy peel away plastic to expose the sticky side
2) the actual screen protector
3) a rigid plastic to use for positioning during installation but is removed after installation to expose the matte finish
You start by peeling away just the corner or top portion of the flimsy plastic layer in order to start sticking the screen protector to the computer. Then using the included squeegee, you slowly squeeze out the air bubbles and work your way down the screen, slowly peeling away more of the flimsy layer, until the screen protector is completed installed. During this process, the rigid plastic makes it easy to hold onto the protector and position it on the screen. After the protector is installed, the rigid plastic is removed. It was easy and effective in removing bubbles.
Pro tip--to avoid fingerprints during installation and to keep the sticky side from sticking to your hands, wear thin plastic gloves. It helps a lot.
