XtremeMac IPP-SG4-13 Tuffshield for iPhone 4 Glossy

 (5 customer reviews)

This product is not usable. The clear plastic protector sheets have paper tabs attached to them to assist in placing on the phone screen. These paper tabs are to be pulled off once the screen protector is in place. Unfortunately, the glue used to attach the paper tab to the screen protector stays on the plastic screen protector, forcing you to either live with a sticky mess on your screen, or remove the screen protector and throw it away.

Very disappointing.

I've tried other film-shields, but like these the best. Ultra-thin, ultra-durable, and they go on *relatively* easily ("dry application", no spray required). Whenever I peel off an old tuffshield, my phone looks brand new underneath. I've noticed some reviews complaining about the #2 tape tabs sticking to the film, but what those customers apparently don't realize is that you don't just peel off the #2 tab itself after applying the tuffshield. The #2 tab is attached to a whole secondary piece of film that you peel completely off, leaving behind the ultra-thin tuffshield (The tuffshield comes out of the package sandwiched between two thicker films, one with a #1 tape tab that you peel off before applying and one with a #2 tape tab that you peel off after applying).

I've had these shields on my iPhone for about 3 months now. They work well with my bumper "case" and appear to be quite durable.
