Review: Fits Newest Paperwhite, Doesn't Affect Screen Sensitivity

The MOSHI AIRFOIL SCREEN PROTECTOR fits both my new and original Paperwhites perfectly.  It's the easiest-to-install screen protector that I've come across, because it's a thin, flexible sheet of plastic that is stiff enough to give you placement control.  The film is perfectly clear, so the Paperwhite touch screen is bright as ever after installation.  Also, the film does not affect the sensitivity of the touch screen in the slightest.This 1-pack envelope includes one screen protector sheet, the usual microfiber cleaning cloth (a 2" diameter circle),  two strips of adhesive "cleaning tape" for removing stubborn dust particles (an excellent idea), and easy-to-understand installation instructions.  If you're like me, you usually need two attempts to install bubble-free protective film, but you don't really need two screen protector sheets to install this product, as long as you read the instructions completely before you start. The instructions mention that you can slide a misaligned sheet into place, without removing it completely, if you don't get it perfectly aligned on the first try.Unfortunately, I missed this instruction, and lifted the screen protector sheet to realign it after I'd peeled off the protective backing.  Naturally the adhesive side of the film acquired some of those annoying little dust motes that always seem to lodge between the film and the touch screen surface.  However, I was still able to gently lift the edges of the screen protector sheet and use the sticky cleaning tape to remove the dust bits from both the touch screen and the adhesive.  Ultimately I was able to achieve a totally bubble-free installation.Screen protector film isn't really necessary if you keep your  Paperwhite in a case (e.g.,Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Persimmon).  With normal use, the case cover protects the touch screen, which is slightly recessed from the black frame, from scratches.  However, screen protector film does make it much easier to keep the touch screen clean and clear of fingerprints, smudges, sticky food bits, and other stuff.
