amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2017 (2-Pack)

This is honestly a great screen protecter. I received the protector in the mail and prepared immediately to put it on. There are directions and hints on how to apply your protector inside the box. On a side note, I just wanted to mention how well the putter box construction was. It made the experience feel much more high quality. So, one such hint which many here in the reviews have mentioned as well is to steam up your restroom and apply the protector in there. It keeps dust from flying around so much and eventually landing back on your screen before applying your new screen protecter. The glass is a perfect fit, with almost no excess screen that isn't covered. If you take your time and have paitence along with using the sticker system to line up the glass before hand and then apply your glass protector, there is an almost 0% chance of screwing it up. When you drop the glass initially different sections of the glass will start to stick at random spots. Much like how glass protectors are applied to cell phone screens, start with giving the middle a firm push on the glass to start the seal. Afterwards from that middle spot you should work your way from the middle to the outside edges to press out any trapped bubbles that may show up. I've seen a few video tutorials on how to apply this exact glass protector and the instructor manages to get air bubbles stuck, at least initially. When I did mine the way mentioned above the couple bubbles I did have were small and already close to the edge, and were easy to rub out with just a couple swipes of my thumbs. No card or excessive rubbing needed. I bought this protector as a means of protection from the news/rumors that the dock was scratching the screen. So mine remained out of the dock until this protector could arrive. I am very happy it came so quickly. I too agree with many reviews noting that with this glass on the switch is a much more snug fit. I don't believe it will be an issue if you are someone who normally treats your equipment with care. Otherwise for those who don't or are worried about your kids habits with the machine, maybe keep an eye out on it to check for the protector sliding out of its original position over time or maybe even cracks. If that indeed becomes the case, you'll be even happier that for this price two protectors come included. So overall I really like this glass protector over many I've bought before. It also feels so nice over the Switch screen. I think most can appreciate that. I look forward to seeing how it holds up over time and of course if any issues arise I will update my review with that situation.

So I'd gotten these since they happened to have the overall best reviews. Hoping that these were actually good I figured that the price wasn't worse than I'd pay for a few coffees or maybe a meal out; I mean I wasn't doing either since this was at the start of sheltering in place and going out for food was the furthest thing away from my mind. Since it came with 2 that was even better since I needed both for the two Switches that we had just gotten. So I installed both according to the instructions and honestly it was probably the easiest screen protector installation that I've had (I'm used to the plastic film kind that require the use of a card and some patience to remove the bubbles). To be honest I think that I spent more time making sure that the screen was dust-free and checking to make sure that the protector's positioning was good before installing the protector than actually putting the protector onto the screen. Perfect fit, no bubbles, and nearly indistinguishable from the screen itself. So there it sat on the screens of the Switches for a year and a half. Then, one morning I tried brushing off a hair that wasn't a hair. A small, partial crack had formed in the protector that soon propagated across the protector and then another came up from the bottom to meet it. I'm not sure what caused these cracks, but the system has had a few minor bumps (none to the screen directly) and perhaps the shock from those bumps was enough to cause cumulative strain and eventually spontaneous fracture (something that tempered glass is occasionally known to do). I was a little disappointed, but it gave me 18 months of solid performance through games with touch screen controls, a few bumps, and the Switch's chassis likely lightly flexing as the buttons were frantically hit while in handheld mode—I'm not rough on my stuff, but the Switch would generally come with me from room-to-room and sometimes accompany me to doctors appointments. Furthermore, even with the hairline cracks the screen protector was still nearly invisible (when viewed directly; from the side it looked moderately horrifying if you didn't know that the crack was in a screen protector) and didn't seem to expose any sharp edges along the cracks. Of course I figured best not to push my luck with shattered pieces of glass and so I ordered a replacement. I was wholly expecting to have a difficult time removing the 3 large pieces—and one small piece—that the previous screen protector had broken into. Turns out that I was wrong. Apparently the adhesive layer of the glass is more than adhesive. In fact it appears to be a thin layer of plastic strong enough to holds the broken pieces together when carefully peeling it off of the screen! So the screen protector not only protects the screen from normal hazards, but it also protects the screen from broken pieces of the screen protector! It's not just tempered glass it's actually somewhat laminated—like how most windshields now have a film of plastic on the inside to keep the shards from flying free. Honestly this is better than I expected.

Great product. My Switch came with a plastic screen protector that had a bunch of bubbles with a careful install, maybe because I didn't use the "shower trick" when I installed it. After I installed that one on Xmas eve, I knew I was going to have to replace it immediately. I ordered this on Dec 24, it arrived on Dec 27, impressive with Xmas day in the mix and the fact I ordered it at like 11PM as I was wrapping presents. The package itself has 2 of everything you need to install this properly, including a convenient link to a video for the install. Pretty straightforward. Clean the screen wet, clean it dry, align and lay the protector, squeegee out the bubbles. Others have said this and I'll say it too, the trick to installing these protectors is to do it in a bathroom where you've steamed it up from hot water from the shower. This knocks all the dust out of the air, and ensures a dust free install. Don't use the biggest bathroom in your house, smaller is better. Don't open anything until you are ready to go. I ran the shower for 5-10 minutes until the mirror was foggy, and kept it running during the install. Then I went in with the switch and the install stuff (wipes, squeegee and protector all still in the original packaging). I put the tablet on the lid of the toilet and the install stuff on the sink next to me, then sat on the toilet lid backwards so I had a mini work space set up. Wipe wet, wipe dry. When wiping dry, I had to do multiple passes to get all the streaks off, alternating horizontal and vertical. Then I opened the protector, peeled off the "step 1" side, aligned it at the bottom and carefully laid it down. The switch had a little fog on the screen, this is not an issue. Once laid into place, the protector starts adhering itself somewhat, and just like the instructions say, just press the middle and move your finger around, and 90% of the protector adhered. Got the squeegee out and pushed it around a little, 99% was adhered with only some of the edge not fully stuck. Pressed the edge down with my finger by sliding around the edge and boom, 100%, no bubbles, clean install. The manufacturer offers a warranty for life, just register at their website. I also have a second protector that I hope to never use, but nice to have it on hand. 5/5, best choice out there if all you want is a glass protector. Touch sensitivity doesn't appear affected, and you can barely tell there's anything on the screen. Docks without issue in both the Nintendo and third party docks.

This tempered glass screen protector is cut to perfection it fits like a glove on the switch. They make it as easy as possible for you to apply and if you follow all the instructions and take your time and have some patience, make sure you line it up properly it is 2nd to none you could barely tell it's there it doesn't affect the feedback of the touch screen it doesn't affect putting the switch back into its dark it looks just as good as it does out of the Box. Definitely follow their and structions and take their tips do it in the bathroom after running the shower for a few minutes to get rid of the dust floating in the air, make sure you don't use your own alcohol swabs and if you do do it before you start installation then make sure you use their cleaning kit which includes a Wet and a dry cleaning cloth. I have a perfect application with absolutely no Bubbles. I was lucky enough to nail it on the 1st try so I have an extra screen protector, side note another great thing is they give you 2 tries and they include hinge tape in case lowering it down isn't your thing. The only con is the squeegee card that they include it's complete garbage it's made of car board it bends and smashes and is pretty much worthless take your license are a credit card or a store membership card put the soft cloth they include around it and used that to get any air bubbles out that works a lot better than though worthless piece of cardboard they include as a squeegee. And the last thing if you see any weird in perfections they're not quite air bubbles just weird sort of smudges that you don't know why they're there don't worry about him don't mess with them too much just leave them alone they disappear on their own after about 12 hours once the adhesive cures a little more and it's crystal clear I am not a fan of applying screen Protectors and ever since I bought my switch 5 months ago I've been tiptoeing around to avoid damaging the screen and luckily I have but it's just ridiculous the lengths that I would go to it's a portable gaming device to an extent and I never brought it anywhere with me out of fear of scratching it just spend the 10 bucks get this screen protector you get to open for that price and apply it in like they tell you to you'll never regret it I could finally bring my switch outside of my Room without worrying about scratching it up trust me you won't regret it best screen protector I've ever encountered I'm gonna see if they make up protector for my Galaxy note 9 next because their application process was just genius. Also I apologize to anyone reading this and noticing any spelling errors or grammar mistakes English is not my 1st language but I get by thank you and have a great Day.

This is my first tempered glass screen protector I've ever owned. I installed it and despite some struggles, I recommend it. I actually like the feel of the glass, and glad I can use my dock again without worrying. I am by no means an expert installer. I struggled but eventually got it to work. I thought I messed up because it was stuck on there for good, but with 5 massive air bubbles. One half dollar size, two quarters, and a couple dimes in size. I was trying to push them out, but it felt hopeless. I thought I wasted the product. I'm here to tell you, don't give up. Grab that little piece of stiff cardboard and massage the crap out of those bubbles. Really try to push that air bubble to the closest edge. You won't be able to push them out because of the seal, but once you can't go any more in one direction, switch to a different direction, pushing and massaging over the area as fast as you can, and somehow they eventually really do go away. Keep using that piece of cardboard til its mangled. It wasn't until I started applying some force and going back and forth very fast that I finally started seeing results. Bubble was shrinking and eventually, finally went away. I figured using some force was ok because if the glass screen protector cracks oh well, I'll hurt the glass before the switch. Once you mess up the included cardboard piece, you can switch over the the packaging of this thing, also made up of a strong piece of cardboard. I cut them in half and went to work on the others. Seriously took me half an hour, but I was eventually able to get rid of all bubbles and now it looks like I installed it perfectly. Even though I know it took me like 30 min. A last suggestion would be to wait about a day before putting it in the dock, just to allow the glue to cure. It's been a few days and it is looking real good.

Served it’s purpose and kept it safe!

Day 1 - I bought this because my old screen protector that came inside of a kit with a case, and a few other things broke. A crack clean down the middle of it with no dmg to the screen at all that was a amazing screen protector but I was not able to buy it again as I didn't need a case anymore! A few things I noticed right away when installing this one is that it is slightly almost imperceptibly thinner than the other screen protector. Now, if this is a good thing or a bad thing I am not sure of yet I will have to wait to see how it holds up but I do notice that there is slightly more clarity than with the old one every so slight and the last one I didn't even realize was on there after a day. The installation of this one went smoothly there were no bubbles all I had to do was line it up with the bottom whole punches and gently let it drop. After this you could quickly see as the screen protector started to adhere from the bottom to the top and it became very clear. I think I will be very pleased with this screen protector as long as it holds up the test of time. If I was to look for faults and again this would be SUPER picky this comes with enough supplies to install both screen protectors but, instead of giving me 2 small microfiber clothes they only gave 1 I am assuming this is because you are expected to reuse it for the second installation but I have already lost the cloth just after installing! The only other thing is that the wet wipes included are labeled for screen cleaning and electronics but the wipe itself was so wet that I had to wait about 10 min for my screen to dry off after normally the wipes have a lot less liquid but these did a great job of cleaning the device nevertheless. So, as you can see I really have to reach for negatives on this. Overall it was a great experience installing the screen with the hardest part being taking the old screen off (I had to get my wife to use her fingernails and she broke one in the process).

So. It does it's job. Does it very well in fact because we wound up performing an unintentional test on one of these. Which actually pointed out a pretty noteworthy aspect of these kinds of protectors that folks might want to keep in mind when getting this. Read past the pros of this protector for details.... Pros: They go on easy (3 applications so far with zero problems). -Plastic protectors are kind of hit or miss with me but these aren't. They also come off easy and clean. -The one I removed had been in place for almost 2 years. Adhesives can solidify over time but this one didn't seem to. Cons- Just 1 and, it's not the fault of the protector. Owners *have* to remember that these things are glass. So, the way these things work is that they take the impact that otherwise the screen itself would take in addition to protecting agains scratches and scuffs. This is, if you're think about it, a really goos bonus feature for a protector to have. However. It's. Glass. My husband forgot this fact when he dropped his Switch onto hard pavement one day. It landed in juuuuust the right way to make the smallish drop damaging. And, yes, the protector did its job. Yay. Unfortunately, the protector did its job. Lol. If you know where this is going have a cookie and move to the head of the class while I catch everyone else up because, what happened next was that the protector cracked (like it was SUPPOSED TO) and the husband came home, practically in *tears* because he thought his beautiful and beloved console was ruined beyond repair. I love my husband. To be fair, he didn't remember that the protector was glass so was understandably assuming that the crack he saw was on the Switch itself. Thankfully, I was able to remove the broken protector that had given it's life in service to the Switch and purchased a new one easily. Still, the incident proved two things to me: 1) These things *really* work! So you won't regret getting one. And 2) You kind of have to remember *how* these things work! Or yes, you may suffee a mild heart attack if/when it's ever put to the test. Lol. So, yes, good purchase and well worth getting. Thanks. :D
