Every time I've had to place one of these screen protectors on a device, I've screwed it up. Phones, tablets, whatever, there are ALWAYS bubbles, dust, bits or I place it askew. I'm not very good at it.This screen protector is different. It's more stiff than most so it doesn't 'waggle' while you're carefully trying to place. It has a rim that fits precisely along the black edges of the Fire screen. And it drops neatly against the miniscule ridge on the outside edge of the screen. So, easy to install.Once in place, it is smooth and distortion free. Anti-glare? Well, yes. The mirror-like image of myself (where did THAT chin come from?) is gone. (Thank you!) But it doesn't make it any easier to read content in the sunlight; you still have to turn the brightness full-up. And -- I like this -- it really does keep fingerprints off the screen. Even with clean hands a couple of rounds of Angry Birds can leave a lot of shmoosh.I suppose it softens the screen images, but just barely and not enough to care about. Really, it's more crisp than a screen with some shmoosh, so it feels like a net gain.While at the time of this writing, $19 is a reasonable price to protect your investment, I think screen protectors (a sheet of plastic or silicone) including this one are overpriced. But again, it's to protect your investment and it has positive attributes. Recommend.
