I tried out the screen protector because my kindle hours nearly everywhere I do. It's helping me follow recipes in the kitchen, listening to music or reviewing patterns while I sew, checking email while waiting at the bus, grocery shopping and checking off a list, and reading that all-important novel. I was afraid the with all th he use I would eventually damage the screen or spoil something on it. When I got the kit I immediately cleaned the screen with the supplied cloth and tried to make sense of the picture directions. They were terrible. I couldn't understand why it would be so difficult to provide a few written directions. Once I placed the protector on th he screen I was horrified at all the bubbles.I used the flimsy little cardboard piece to try and smooth them out, but was unsuccessful. Also realized that unless the screen was absolutely clean and lint free, every speck would cause a bubble. I took it off, recleaned, and re-applied the other protector. Still had bubbles and the cardboard piece did absolutely no good. I also use the marware stylus for drawing apps and Swype typing. It would hold up and drag across the screen, making typing and scrolling very difficult. As far as protection, it does its job. I used it over Thanksgiving and there were a few spills and splatters, The screen was well-protected and prevented damage. I have no scratches at all. I probably won't order more though, as I find them more frustrating than useful.
