Customer Review: The best. Don't waste your time and money with other brands
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used Powersupport Crystal Film on my various ipods and iphones over the past 5 years. I've also strayed twice and used different brands (Zagg - more expensive, and some other, much cheaper brand). Crystal Film works best, is not difficult to apply, and once you get it on, it will stay on and look like brand new for years, literally. On iphone and ipod touch, the film is so invisible and causes absolutely no reduction in video or image quality or clarity. The only way you can tell it's on is that the edges of the film (which extend to the very edge of the glass screen) are SLIGHTLY visible. But they line up perfectly with the edge of the screen, so they really do not look out of place.
Installation is not difficult if you know what you're doing. I strongly recommend you take 60 seconds and watch the video at the powersupport website - your application will be easier if you see it done and can visualize the process.
Work on a dust-free table top with plenty of space. For best results, have the following items handy: scotch tape, microfiber cloth (such as what you'd use to clean the lenses of your glasses), and a bottle of clear liquid lens cleaner (a few bucks at any lenscrafter or eyeglass store). (by the way, this eyeglass cleaner and microfiber cloth is really the best way to clean the display of your touch-screen devices and your laptop computer)
First, clean the screen of your device by spraying the eyeglass cleaner on it and wiping it dry with the microfiber cloth. Inspect for remaining dust by holding it at various angles and looking closely. If needed, wipe again with the microfiber.
Then, use the included pre-installation film - it's basically just a big white piece of tape, which you put on your device's screen and then pull off. It's purpose is to remove any remaining fine dust.
Then apply the crystal film. It has a backing which you gradually remove as you apply. Before applying, line the hole in the crystal film up with the button of your iphone, then align the edges of the crystal film with the edges of the glass display. Gradually remove the film and apply, from the side with the button to the other side.
Use your microfiber to gently rub any bubbles toward the nearest edge, or lift up a corner of the film just until the bubble comes out, then gently let the film back down.
The scotch tape is useful for 2 things. First, if you get the film on and it's not quite lined up perfectly - don't freak out - this can be fixed. Put a small piece of tape on the corner with part of it hanging off to use as a handle, and lift the film off from the corner with one hand, use the other hand to hold the film as it comes off by the edges and to gently reposition it.
The other reason to have the tape handy is in case a spec of dust gets trapped in the film. Use one piece of tape to lift up the film partway, starting from the corner nearest the spec of dust. Use a second piece of tape to remove the dust from the underside of the film (sticky side of tape touches the film to pull the dust off it).
All this is much easier than it sounds. It takes maybe 10 minutes. Maybe less. It's good to move quickly from each step to the next. The longer you wait, the greater the chance of piece of dust floating in the air will land on the film or on the device before you finish applying the film.
Once the film is on, there is no drying time needed. You can use your device immediately.
The film provides excellent protection and is extremely clear. Like I said, you really can't tell it's on.
I also tried a Zagg shield (another brand of film) because I got a new ipod touch and wanted to protect it right away, and the local best buy had zagg but no store nearby had crystal film. The Zagg film is stronger - it's hard to poke a hold through it. On the other hand, it feels slightly gummy on the device and clarity is a problem - you can definitely tell it's on, images and video just do not look as crisp as with the crystal film or with nothing at all. This is not because I did a poor job installing it - in fact, I paid best buy to install it, and the person who did the installation has done this dozens of times and was quite good. But after 4 days, I took it back, convinced the manager to refund both the purchase price and installation fee. I could have saved myself from this hassle if I had just ordered the crystal film in the first place and waited for it to arrive.
Of course, the film only protects the display, not the back or the edges of the device. You'll surely want a case for overall protection. If the case you buy comes with screen film, I suggest using crystal film instead. It really is the best, and you're spending a lot of money on your device, it's worth spending a little more to protect the gorgeous display while completely preserving its clarity.
