This is the third time I've purchased Mr. Shield screen protectors (two different phones for me and a gift for a friend). The first phone, I dropped from a ladder onto concrete, and the phone was fine but the protector cracked. Mr. Shield stood behind their lifetime warranty and replaced the product with no hassle. With my new phone, I got a case that came with a screen protector, and used that until it got scratched pretty badly. I ordered these, and after install, I immediately noticed how much more pleasant the Mr. Shield protector felt to my thumbs. I don't know that I would have noticed without being able to directly compare, but somehow this material just feels better. The value is great and the product is superior.
