Almost invisible and forgiving if you mess it up first time
Almost invisible and forgiving if you mess it up first time, got mine on perfect after the second attempt you can barely see it, worth having for a totally protected screen with no worries of scratching.Please take a second to hit the helpful button it makes taking the time to write the review worthwhile x.

So why buy this ? I will tell you !
From the very beginning of owning phones, tablets etc I personally had 2 things I would do before even switching the device on : 1) a cover 2) a screen protector !You see so many phones, tablets etc either in use or for sale in second hand (sorry, 'used') shops, with scratches, or broken screens or that generally look as if someone has played football with them, would I want to own one of those ? No way.Why would someone pay hundreds of pounds an then not want to protect their investment and it doesn't cost a fortune either.Enter this excellent screen protector.I have always been slightly dubious about these hardened glass type of protectors until I have used a few of them, now I am a BIG fan of them, and I never though I would say that !So why the change of heart ?Well firstly if you have a 'plastic film protector', they provide minimal protection against being scratched and nothing if a heavy object is dropped on it, you would end up with a broken screen.With a hardened glass protector, it is scratch resistant and if an heavy object is dropped on it, yes it would crack, but your precious screen underneath would be 100% OK, you would then just need to replace the protector and NOT the screen.Secondly is the ease of applying these screens, I have literally put hundreds of screen protectors on for both myself, friends and family, and often wondered why the plastic ones came in packs of three or more...The answer is it is so difficult to get them on first time, so usually I waste one or two before I perfect the technique, this depends on the actual protector too, some are better than others, even when they are on you have the problem of the dreaded 'air bubbles'.Enter the harden glass screen, these are actually an absolute delight to put on, yes, I really enjoy putting them on !I was dubious about them being glass, thinking I might cut my finger etc when applying them, but you don't need to worry.Make sure the screen is clean and dry, and even if the item is brand new and you habe just removed the plastic film the manufacturer has put on, PLEASE clean and dry the screen with the wipes provided and check for any dust specks afterwards !Next you remove the protective film off the back of the glass screen, now to have a nice ridged piece of glass to get hold of, not some floppy plastic film which you have to try and guess how to line up in the hope you are correct, and most times you get it wrong.I line the glass up by sight, slowly lowering onto the actual screen, 99.9% of the time I line it up perfect but If you go get it wrong just gently lift it off and try again, but DO NOT press on the screen if it is on wrong, otherwise it will stick to the screen.Next I just press in the centre of the screen (when you are 100% OK it is lined up) and literally watch the magic happen.. you see it literally install itself from the centre to the edges, it is really fascinating to watch, I love it, OK I don't get out much I know :-)In conclusion, if like me you had doubts about this sort of screen protector, give these excellent screens a try, you won't regret it, you will never go back to the old plastic 'fiddly' type again... trust me on this one.

Too light reflective - better without
Screen protector makes the Oasis screen significantly glossier. Not great for an anti-glare screen. Photos below (more reflective one is with the protector on).

A must for Kindles
Arrived in time allotted, was informed of it's delivery journey. All the stuff to make sure you had adhesion on the glass was in the packaging, including dust magnetic cloth, as well as instructions of how to fit. Easy to fit and adheres well although it was a bit of alignment so took it off which was easy and repositioned in correct position. It adhered OK even though I'd taken it off and put back on. I then removed the air bubbles with the cloth and piece of plastic they supply with it, there was a few bubbles left but as it said in the instructions they'd go in 24 hours which they did. It protects the kindle glass from scratches, it also is anti glare that works really well in the sun, this I know as reading in the living room with the winter sun shining on window I could still read Kindle with no problems. This product is very good value for money.

Makes the screen more reflective.
I would have to agree to some of the reviews it does make your screen more reflective than the glass anti reflective screen.Overall it does fit perfectly and the application was easy. It’s nice you get an extra screen protector just in case you mess up on the first one.I would say if you use your kindle without a case then go with this screen protector and outweigh the pro and cons.But if you use a folio style case then I don’t think it’s necessary to use a protector.I personally only read indoors so glare won’t affect me much but if you read outdoors then this screen protector will not help with the glare.
