moshi - iVisor AG - Screen Protector for iPhone5/5s/5c/SE - Black

This screen protector is head and shoulders above the rest. I rarely feel so strongly about a product, but after having tried so many screen protectors over the years I was just blown away by the quality of this material. Like everyone else says, it is simple to apply and there are no bubbles and no imperfections. There's no messy application solution and no need to wait for it to set over night. If you don't align it properly the first time, it won't be ruined when you take it off and reapply it. It is amazing that there can be such a difference in quality between different brands of thin, clear plastic. Whatever formula they use to create this just cannot be beat. When I got the iPhone 5, I first tried the skinomi brand since it was inexpensive and had high marks in the amazon review section. I was disappointed with it, so I got the moshi. It is far more expensive, but completely worth it. It was like getting a new phone all over again. If I were an Apple executive, I would want to buy the Moshi company and ship every iOS device with one of these protectors. Put the rest of the jokers out of business because they are just wasting everyone's time and money.Things to be aware of before purchasing:1) There are two versions of this protector. The crystal-clear and the anti-glare. There are trade-offs to be considered and this is not specific to Moshi protectors. Anti-glare is great for use outdoors when you are taking pics, but it creates a slight dulling effect on the screen when used indoors. The crystal-clear version is a better experience most of the time, but it has that outdoors problem. I have the anti-glare version and I don't mind the matte look when reading indoors. If you don't like matte, then get the crystal-clear version.2) I'm writing this review a mere two months after the iPhone 5 came out, so I have an early version of this protector. There is a cut-out for the front-facing camera that is incorrectly off to the left side of the speaker at the top of the screen. It looks as though Moshi got bad prerelease info from Apple that the camera would be off to the side like it was on the 4/4S. They apparently went back and enlarged the speaker cut-out to include the camera's actual location above the speaker. I imagine that future versions of the protector will correct this problem after they run through the initial inventory. The cut-out doesn't bother me enough to lower the rating to 4 stars. This is still a phenomenal product.

I've had an iPhone since 2008. That was the year I scratched my first screen with my car keys and was introduced to the world of screen protectors. Since then, and many iPhones later, I have tried a myriad of screen protectors from cheap to expensive and I have to say this one, although on the spendy side, is worth every cent. It's no-glare, which is nice, but doesn't make the display look "fuzzy" like some other no-glare screen protectors do. My retina display is crystal clear. It's resusable! This was an absolutely marvelous thing when my first iPhone 5 developed a technical glitch and had to be replaced. I just pulled this off the old phone and put it straight on the new phone -- no fuss no muss. It is so easy to install. Don't get me wrong, you still need to clean the screen with a lint free cloth - a sticker sheet is provided so you can remove any stubborn dust specs and you still have to squeegee out the bubbles, but the screen protector is a pretty substantial sheet (maybe twice as thick or more than the cheapie protectors) so it holds it's shape and is easier to maneuver than the cheapies. It also does a fair job of squeezing most bubbles out on it's own so it's just a matter of running a soft cloth over it a few times to get out the stragglers. It's strong. I had it on my phone for more than 6 months before I managed put a tiny scrape on it -- and I'm very hard on my phones. Do not confuse this with the InvisibleShield product which takes a rocket scientist to install and has very limited durability (yes, I've had one of those, too). The Moshi is very, very simple to install and doesn't take an advanced degree in bio-nuclear physics.I know you can buy a dozen cheap screen protectors for the same price as this... and if you don't mind the aggravation of swapping out your screen protector every few months, the air bubbles that always develop later, the dust specs trapped underneath, the peeling on the edges, and the places where your protector didn't line up perfectly with your home button or ear speaker, not to mention the time spent as you curse your way through installing 3 screen protectors before you get it right (and not even perfect, at that), then stick with the cheapies. However, if avoiding stress and aggravation is important to you and your time has a modicum of value, then I give this product my highest recommendation.

I have an iVisor for my Macbook Pro and I loved it so much I knew it would be one of the first accessories I bought for my iPhone. I love the screen protector and it definitely does what the packaging claims: the bubble-free installation is awesome because the adhesive part is around the bezel of the phone. The surface treatment does a very good job at reducing and smudges or smears; I always get compliments on my fingerprint-free screen. And last but not least, the fact that you can apply and reapply the screen protector over and over is awesome and was helpful when I has trouble lining it up the first time I installed it. And obviously, the anti-glare feature is exactly what I expected it to be after having experience with the iVisor on my computer - it's awesome, I prefer the matte look.I love the fact that the screen protector fulfills all of the claims made on the packaging/in the description, I know this is an expensive accessory but the fact that it does so much makes me feel like I made a good investment. I also haven't had any issues with it popping up because of one of my cases. The one negative thing I will say is the fact that this being a matte screen protector it will take away from the quality of the amazing retina display but that is something that I knew before buying this screen protector and it has been one of the only sacrifices I've had to make since installing the iVisor AG.EDIT: I've had the screen protector for a few months now and while I'm still in love with it I've started to notice some scratches. The screen protector is made of a slightly thick plastic so the scratches look deep although they are only noticeable when the screen is turned off. I am disappointed seeing as this is an expensive product but better the screen protector than the screen!

Expansive but the best

This is the best screen protector I've ever used! I first got mine over a year ago, and it is still on my phone. It was extra easy to apply compared to other protectors! I've never had any air bubbles, and it has yet to lose it's stick. The protector has saved my phone screen from multiple scratches, and yet I can still see my whole screen. I have only had this one protector on my phone for just over a year, whilst in that same time my brother has been through about 7-10 cheaper protectors, so this one is definitely worth the money!!

bon achat, très bon prix

I have been using one of these screen protectors on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years, so on the strength of that I ordered one for my new iPhone 5C. It's brilliant, easy to apply and very nice in use. Sure, it is pricey compared to the inferior disposable products, but hey, if you can afford a Rolls Royce you aren't going to buy budget tyres, are you?Highly recommended, especially if you own the phone and want it to retain sell-on value.

I would have preferred something that seemed a bit clearer, you can tell that theres a screen protector on there. It does its job though, its kinda thick too
