I love that no one can see what I’m looking at lol. But when I’m using my phone it doesn’t change the clarity of my screen. The new one isn’t quite as dark as the older version, but that’s ok it still works. I just bought another pair of protectors because I’ve already had to replace mine twice lol. I dropped my phone flat on its screen and the protector did its job and took the hit. Thank god!!! The kit is super easy to use.If u make a mistake with ur alignment u can simply peel it back up (CAREFULLY!!). and if any dust gets on the sticky side, simply use ur sticker dust removed and quickly blot it off the tacky side of the protector and reapply. Very simple set up. I don’t personally use the alignment guide because i have legit OCD and i align it before i lay it on the phone. It goes on so smooth that i never had any bubbles. And this is my third protector from this company.I bought this company’s version for the galaxy Note 9 for my coworker And my husband because they’re brazen enough to not have a screen protector!! So i MADE them put these on their phones lol. So now we are all protected! Thanks FlexGearUpdate:I love this screen protector! I ONLY buy this brand now. I’ve had to replace my screen protector several times because my kids always drop my phone just right so it lands on the screen or on the edge of the screen. My actual screen has yet to crack! I also love the privacy. I work in the OR and i like that no one can see what i am looking at when I’m on my phone unless they’re looking direly at my phone
