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!

My son recommended this product to me. So happy that he did! It was so easy to use, the directions were simply explained and the product is of great quality. I highly recommend giving it a try!

This kit really results in a perfect installation of your screen protector using the guide and procedure outlined. I have installed 10 screens in the past and never had one perfect and always had to deal with dust and placement errors. FIRST WATCH THE INSTALLATION VIDEOS ON THE LINKS PROVIDED. My procedure FOLLOWS THEM CLOSELY which worked on both devices took about 5 minutes total and there was not a single spec of dust and placement was perfect. Here it is: 1- Unpack all materials on a table and it is best to do it at a time and place where you have direct sun coming into the room but not on the work area. This way you can look for dust in the air. Make sure you turn adjust the thermostat setting your HVAC so the fan does not come on until you have completed installation. 2- Place phone without case in front of you and place the screen/install template, alcohol wipe provided, squeegee and stick tape for dust (not normally needed), and screen cleaning cloth for when you finish. 3- I have yet to find a micro fiber cloth that does not contribute to the dust problem so do not use it until your done. 4- Clean the phone away from the work area using the microfiber cloth then return it to your work area after verifying you have no dust by looking at the air around you in the direct sun. 5- Wash your hands and get all oil off your skin using a dish detergent and wipe with a clean towel. 6- Without doing anything else with your hands and not touching anything open an alcohol wipe and clean the screen of you phone and look at it sideways to make sure there is no dust. 7- Pull of the #1 protection film from the screen/guide template and then after looking again at the phone for no dust place it down straight on the phone making sure the top it at the top of the phone. Run your finger down the middle of the guide first lightly then firmly. DO NOT WORRY IF YOU SEE AREAS AWAY FROM THE MIDDLE NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE FILM..YET! WAIT 30 SECONDS. 8- Peel the center strip of SLOWLY and discard 9- Raise the guide off the phone slowly at an angle. 10- Using your finger press lightly and move outward from center to get film to contact screen in raised areas and release any air. NOTE: the screen protector is noticeably smaller than the entire surface and this is since it only covers the illuminated portion of the screen and allows for cases to fit without interference with the screen protector. It should be exactly centered with the same borders all around. I was amazed how perfect both of mine came out when I turned on the phone!!! 11- Peel off #2 film screen protector SLOWLY pulling in an arc to the other end and off. 12- Use the squeegee provided and slowly and lightly press on the screen working from middle to outside to get the surface firmly to the phone and working out any bubbles or low adhesion areas. If you have a stubborn spot then work a little harder MAKING SURE YOU WORK FROM MIDDLE TO OUTER EDGE. 13- Leave it for a few minutes and then use the microfiber cloth to clean and smooth off the surface. If you screw up then don't sweat it as you have a spare to use when you have learned from your mistakes. But before doing it again just take your time removing the old film and experiment with it for a feel of its flexibly, adhesion properties and re-application. See what you can learn.

Wow, this was really easy to install. Please, do yourself a favor and watch the YOUTUBE video a couple of times BEFORE you start! I purchased iPhone 11's for my brother and nephew, who are notorious for breaking screens and phones. To save the headache, I bought (2) cases (it was UAG I believe) and (2) sets of these UNBREAKcable Screen Protector. Each set comes with (3) screen protectors, and believe me, I needed the extra one. I watched the video, but I thought using the sticker after I wiped down the NEW phones was a waste of time and skipped the step. DOH! DON'T DO THAT - use the sticker and re-trace your steps. Dust is tiny, tiny, and monstrous. It snuck on the first phone install, as did bubbles under the glass. Well, because I didn't watch the video close enough - DOH! I tried again, used the stickers, FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS, and voila! Perfect... looked pristine, clear glass, no bubbles, no worries. The COOLEST thing is that you get it lined up with a guidance thingie, and then you simply TOUCH THE CENTER of the protector, and it attaches like magic. This helps seal out the bubbles, but if you mess up, they have some info on how you can take it off and try again. Just READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, unlike I did at first... lol. After I removed the guidance thingie they provided, I smoothed out the edges by using the cloth provided, just to make sure it was connected entirely to the phone. Beautiful... smooth... showroom quality. After both were installed, I put them in their phone cases. If you have to switch out a SIM card, you can hold off on the last part until you've done that step. The rep at the T-Mobile store (went there with them to make sure they were set up, I'm not their phone tech... lol) commented that the screen protectors were perfect. He asked (and maybe you will too) why I bought an extra set. My nephew drops his phone ALL THE TIME. I fully expect him to crack the screen protector at some point. If they have the new ones, they can look online, take off the broken protector, and re-install another one. ANY PROTECTOR CAN BREAK. If it breaks, that means that it has probably protected the actual screen from breaking. I'd rather replace the protectors several times in the life of the phone than replace the phone. He broke his phone so bad last time that it wouldn't ring anymore. That's not very safe... and he didn't want to use a case. Buy a case and use it. Buy these protectors and use them... buy extra! Be sure to get the right size for your phone, and try this particular brand. It's fantastic, and the cost is very reasonable. If this has helped you at all, please give me a HELPFUL vote, and feel free to ask me any questions. Have a great year!

We have used Spigen screen protectors for several years now. While I haven't used other brands for a while, imo these are the best. I say this for several reasons. First, the glass used is super-thin. As a result, it looks like the original screen sans protector. Second, it adheres without bubbles to your screen. Third, it comes with an installation alignment tool that snaps onto the phone ensuring that the screen protector is perfectly aligned with the screen making installation fool proof. Fourth, it comes with two screens making it economical. Fifth, if damaged, it is very easy to remove the protector. Sixth, the protection provided is quite good. Whenever I take off a cracked or damaged protector, I always find the screen underneath to be in perfect shape. Finally, if you hold onto the alignment tool after installation, you can buy just the replacement screens, thereby saving a few dollars. There may be cheaper knockoffs, but in my experience, this is the one to buy. Well done, Spigen!

Since Otterbox apparently no longer finds it necessary to include screen protectors, I needed to find one for my new phone. Being generally clumsy and lacking some level of coordination, I'm not usually a fan of anything you need to line up and stick to a screen. Anytime I try it, it almost always ends up at least slightly off center. This company however includes a tool that you place over your phone, press down and hold for 30 seconds and it does all the work and coordinating for you. It's very difficult to screw up, but if you do there's a second screen cover included in the pack, along with all the things you need to clean your screen before installation (a wipe, sticker to remove any dust and a cloth). There's also an included squeegee to push out any bubbles. By the time the screen protector was installed, I had no bubbles, the entire screen was covered and I barely even notice it's there other than being able to feel it slightly raised around the edges. I haven't had it that long yet so can't speak to longevity and I hope not to have to find out how well it does with something hitting the screen, but it does seem to be very good quality, doesn't hinder phone use in any way that I've noticed and installation couldn't have been easier. It's also completely usable with my Otterbox Defender and I would imagine with most other cases as it only covers the screen itself.

So far it’s exactly as described. It was super easy to put the screen on. While looking into the reviews on these screen protectors & others like it, I saw a lot of people complaining that they put it on upside down.. but with the tiniest bit of common sense, you too can avoid that problem! Anyone taking stars away because of that is just mad cuz they did a dumb. It’s been pretty scratch resistant. I tend to carry my phone in my back pocket along with my pocket knife or, if I’m wearing something without pockets, I’ll put it in my purse, where it’s floating around with all the other random stuff I put in there. So far, no scratches!! The one downfall that I wish I would have taken into consideration before buying is that the protector JUST covers the screen. There’s a thin black border that isn’t covered by the protector or my Otterbox Defender Pro case (the microbial one with horizontal lines on the back). So there’s a crevice between the protector & case where lint & debris gets caught. You can see this rainbow effect when looking at the edge of the protector from the side, which doesn’t bother me at all. I should have done a little more research to see if the protector & case would cover the whole phone, but instead I just looked up whether the protector was “compatible” with the case. It is compatible, but just doesn’t cover the whole face of the phone, as you can see in my pics. Other than that, I had NO trouble with bubbles, no problems with touch sensitivity, & both protectors arrived in perfect condition & had everything else that was included (ie. tray, microfiber cloth, dust stickers, etc.). It even came a day early!!! Will update if anything changes!
