Pros:This is a very easy to apply screen protector and it does not require a hard edge to push out air bubbles. It fits my Kindle Fire HD well and did not come off when I put it back in its Roo case. Smudges wipe off pretty easily. It is fairly thick, so should provide protection for the screen, but allows for touch by finger or stylus without any problem. A lint-free cloth is provided. It is supposed to be washable, however I did not try this.Cons:However, there is a rainbow that the manufacturer claims is normal, but I find it distracting when reading. I put this on twice. The first time, there was only a small area of rainbow, about the size of a quarter, which looks similar to the colors on a spot of oil. When I put the cover on the second time, the area was larger, covering over a third of the screen. Rubbing my finger over the area, the colors moved. I thought it was an thin air bubble, but I pulled it up and used a hard edge to push it back down- still a rainbow. The colors are not noticeable all the time, but mainly when there is a reflection of light, for example from a lamp or overhead light.I think this is pricey at $19.99 for one protector, particularly when there are other products that are as good- or better- for much less.Would I buy this product? Probably not mainly because of the rainbow and price. I have usedTech Armor HD Clear Screen Protector with Lifetime Replacement Warranty for Amazon New Kindle Fire Tablet HD 7" (3 Pack) [does not fit Original Kindle Fire SD] and have been pleased. (As of this writing, it is $7.95 for 3 protectors- and, using a hard edge when applying got rid of the bubbles) But, it is easy to apply and if that is your main concern, and don't mind spending $20 for a protector and can ignore the rainbow, then the Moshi iVisor might work fine for you.
