| Nice product in doors, but it makes your phone useless outdoors in the sun light even with back light at highest setting. You cannot see your screen at all outside the mirror reflects the light. |

| Product does not completely cover the whole front surface. There is a little gap around the ear hole and along the edges. I have a rubber type case the covers the back and egdes so that does not matter as much. It does scratch very easy which is what it is suppose to do "protect the face" so it does not scratch. I have been using this for 2 weeks and will be replacing it this weekend with another product. It does give it a cool look but from the other reviews it is very hard to see in daylight and next to impossible to see if you are outside and have sunglasses on. If you are loking for a cool look this is for you. If you are looking for something to use in the real world pass on this product. |

The Good: Great price, easy to put on (but take your time to make sure it's straight and bubble-free), gives a very nice mirror finish when powered off, and easy to see screen when phone is active INDOORS.
The Bad: When trying to view your phone screen on (active) outdoors, you can almost not see anything at all, even when setting the brightness levels up. Because it is a mirror finish, if you scratch the screen protector (which is not too hard to do), you can see said scratches very clearly. HOWEVER, they are not prominent enough to interfere with viewing the active screen at all.
Overall Opinion: Great product for the cost. Would buy again! My phone looks even slicker with this nice mirror screen on it, and honestly, I've used it as a mirror a few times a day since I got it! I recommend this product. |

| Like most of the other reviews say, make sure your phone is clean and dust free before putting this on and put it on very carefully to avoid bubbles. Mine fits great and has a good mirrored look to it when the phone isn't on. It all depends on the light when you're looking at it. It does scratch pretty easily but I'd rather the cover scratch than the phone surface. |

There are some good and some bad with this product. It is exactly what I was looking for (a way to protect the screen while giving my phone a distinct look), so I am satisfied with it. And at 5 bucks that doesn't kill the wallet, I think it's a reasonable price.
BUT, (the cons) it is VERY tricky to put in flawlessly. When I put it on the first time I left the back cover off for a few seconds before I put it on so some dust collected on it. This created a couple bubbles. I wasn't happy (I am VERY meticulous and am a perfectionist) with the couple bubbles, so I took it off and tried again. MISTAKE. The second time, even after 'wiping' off the back/sticky side, there were even more bubbles. And even more the third time when I gave what I thought was a thorough cleaning. But, I spent the money on it so I tried it out for a few days. After using it (ie-finger smudges), I noticed that the bubbles weren't really noticible and I had PLENTY of bubbles. So, I said "what the heck, I'll give it another go, it's only $5" and ordered another one. The second time around I was VERY careful and cautious and didn't remove the back protective covering of it until I was read to put it on. Cleaned my screen thoroughly then applied it. VERY few bubbles, and only towards the edge. And you can BARELY see them, unless looking for them and at the perfect angle.
Another bad is that you do need to turn up the brightness a click or two on the settings and this shortens battery life. Also, in the sunlight it is quite tricky to see, being reflexive and all. Use the shadow of your head to block the sunlight though and you're fine (at least that's what I do.)
The good: looks sharp, protects my screen. Those are the two things I was looking for in my screen protector.
I have not scratched it, although I don't use the stylus and again I am a pretty cautious person so I take care of things. And to be honest I probably wouldn't even need a screen protector because that's how confident I am in myself for not scratching my screen, but I just wanted a safety net...just in case.
In short, apply VERY carefully. Make sure your screen is flawless and then apply. If there are bubbles the first time, deal with them because it'll only get worse as you try more times. Unless you try a second one, which if you got the hang of it the first time the second one looks much better. Protects screen. Finger smudges easily...but smudges wipe off with the cloth just as easily. Oh yeah, and it is a little shorter than the screen. The 1st one I got made the hole where the top was short, and the 2nd one I got (I assume they cut the ear hole a little bigger after the review 3 or 4 down from me complained about the size), had a bigger ear speaker hole but the protector would still be short on either the top or bottom, depending on how you put it on. But that doesn't matter to me because I also have a clear case so you can't even tell it's .06" (precisely) shorter than the screen. Apply with caution and you will probably be satisfied with your purchase. |

| It is a great product. I love the mirror reflection. It does scratch easy. But this does protect the device and I ordered more than one and if need be, will reorder. It is great. |

| Clean looking with my silicone instinct case. The reviews on this product shows that scratch easily... but I have not get any scratches yet. It does make my instinct look cool and different. |

| Very poor product. Came scratched and bubbles! Waste of time and money!! |

This thing is NOT worth the money.
1. I couldn't get all the bubbles out, so it looked like crap
2. It doesn't fit the screen. There's a gap at the top and it goes over 1 side
3. It's not a total reflection. I can still see the logo on the screen.
- Save your money... it's crap. |

This item was shipped promptly and while i do enjoy the overall look of it, the reason I gave it a bad review is due to the customer service I recieved when i wanted a replacement due to the screen protector being too short on the top portion.
I protector does not cover about a quarter inch of the top of the instinct as another review has already pointed out. They said for me to get a replacement I would have to send my product back to them (paying the shipping) and let them examine it. When i informed them it would be rediculus for me to pay a $3 shipping charge for a $6 item they told me it was policy. I'm sorry but paying extra money because i recieved a defective product is not good customer service. Especially if they cant simply test the item themselves on an instinct.
As i said though, just to be far, the protector does serve its purpose, it adds a little flash to the phone and does serve as a nice mirror. The only downsides are the finger smudges as well as the glare in sunlight, it makes it nearly impossible to see if in direct sunlight. |

| Rather over priced. looks good installed and makes a good mirror with the screen blank. Screen shows up well through the 'mirror' inside or in dim light, but in the sun, it makes it harder to see the screen. the directions were backwards so I got a bump on the 'sticky' side and I found it hard to get the bumps out. I would live with it for a buck, but $6 is way too much for this plastic screen cover. |

| VERY NICE PRODUCT AND VERY STURDY LOVE IT |

this thing is a piece. first of all, it doesn't cover the phone completely. it misses at the top (i.e. above the ear piece) by about 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch. also, it doesn't fit properly around the earpiece (the cut isn't quite right). furthermore, the cover is just a c hair too wide. i don't like it. when i am outside on a sunny day, i can't see anything (except my stupid grill looking at my phone funny) on my phone due to the reflection. what a waste. very impractical.
i see others on here kinda like it, but not for me. i think i am just going to go bare. i usually hate phone cases and/or covers because cell phones only last so long anyway. why preserve something you are only going to have a year or two before the next hot thing comes out? |

| I received this product a week ago and I was very excited. It is a great product. I love the mirror reflection. If you have problems at first with a "distorted" reflection (as I did), remove and replace carefully and that should clear up that problem. Also, be careful with the screen because using papertowel or kleenex will scratch the screen or just using your stylus to hard. Put on the soft setting. But this does protect the device and I ordered more than one and if need be, will reorder. It is great. |

| Looks like a mirror if applied properly, just be sure to put it on in a clean place as not to get any dust on it before application and try to avoid bubbles and it will look nice. However, it adds reflection when viewing the screen which is to be expected, it is a mirror. |

| This is pretty nice, it really does look like a mirror. I just wish I didn't leave so many finger prints on it. |

| The full mirror screen protector I bought for my Samsung Instinct is just what I was looking for. It's not just another screen protector it has a highly reflective mirror finish which makes the phone look very sleek. I am so glad I bought this because I'm always scratching stuff. Even after dropping my phone and watching it slide across the floor the mirror finish still looked just as good as when i bought it. The only downside i noticed was trying to view the phone in direct sunlight. The mirror finish does make that a bit difficult. Other than that i've been getting so many comments on how much better this looks than the LG Shine. |
