I was very leery of this product after reading other reviews, but I decided to go ahead and try it out. Ultimately, I think it's worth it, though I do have a few reservations.First the good: The screen protector is vastly easier to clean than the screen of the Fire. Fingerprints, dust, etc. wipe right off with the provided microfiber cloth; when cleaning the Fire screen, I had to use quite a bit of elbow grease to get all the fingerprints removed.Now the bad: I had quite a bit of trouble applying the screen protector. There's not much room for error--it has to be pretty much applied completely straight and in exactly the right spot or it won't seal at the edges. Also, I had to work pretty hard to get all the air bubbles pushed out. (The included applicator card helps with this--I don't think I could have gotten completely rid of the air bubbles with just my fingers.) From start to finish, it probably took 15 minutes. Also, the screen protector seems to attract dust at a much higher rate than the unprotected screen did. But, as I said before, the protector is very easy to clean, so it's not a huge problem.All told, I think this screen protector is worth having, you just have to be patient while putting it on. Also, the package comes with three screen protectors, so I will presumably be able to protect my screen for a long time.
