Review: Does the Job But Be Patient and Slow During Installation

This cover does what it is supposed to do: it protects your Kindle Fire HDX's screen and reduces the glare - for me it helps stop a lot of the smudgy fingerprints, especially after playing a few rounds of Candy Crush or Words with Friends. This one was not too hard to line up and put on, either. Please note this screen protector is only for the 2013 version of the 8.9" Kindle Fire HDX and will not fit the 8.9" Kindle Fire HD.Before you install it, let me point out a couple of things:1. Clean your Fire's screen with the soft cloth that comes with the screen protector. DO NOT use water to assist you, but use a gentle wiping motion with the cloth. Why? You don't want to put the cover over a bunch of fingerprints or miniscule pieces of lint and have your fingerprints / lint memorialized on your Fire!2. Make sure you use the straight-edge that comes with it, or a credit card, to help smooth out the bubbles.3. Be patient, line it up, and go slow! This cover doesn't have much wiggle-room to be slightly off - if you go just a fraction at an angle to one side, you will start covering the Fire's edge / casing vs. the screen. If that happens, slowly back it up and start again.4. Use the straight-edge or a credit card slowly working from the inside / middle to the outside. Be patient, and be consistent or that small bubble will not go away or, worse, the small bubble will become a larger bubble.Overall, this is not too bad and does what it is supposed to do, and I think you would rather have a screen protector vs. a scratched up Fire!
