ArmorSuitMilitaryShield Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket - [Max Coverage] Anti-Bubble HD Clear Film

I ordered an ArmorSuit screen protector to install on a new phone. I had used generic user trimmed-to-fit protectors on my previous phones and really hated to spend $10 for this one. The product arrived with detailed installation instructions and a web address for an installation video. Installation was not overly complicated and took only about 10 minutes. Some big box stores will sell you a screen protector and offer installation for about $7.00extra. My time was well worth the money saved. I followed the instructions as closely as possible and allowed the phone to sit untouched for several hours. At first, I was not pleased to see hazing and some small bubbles on under the screen protector. I continued to leave the phone on the counter through the rest of the day and noted that the bubbles were shrinking. By the following morning, the bubbles were nearly all gone and the hazing had disappeared. About 36 hours after installation, I had no bubble and a clear undistorted screen view.The screen protector has been on my phone for about 5 days now and it seems to be doing very well. The pre-cut openings align properly, the edges of the screen protector are adhering well and I have no air bubbles. I played golf and kept the phone in my pocket with tees and other pocket stuff. I see a light abrasion on the screen protector that is noticeable only when viewed at a certain angle. The "self-healing" aspect of the ArmorSuit seems to be working but after two days, I can still see it if I want to.I was prepared for disappointment with a relatively costly screen protector. But the results so far have me pleasantly surprised. I even recommended ArmorSuit to a family member - and I don't really do that often. She likes the gloss finish more than the matte finish she has on her phone. I give this product 4 stars because I do have the light abrasion mentioned above and I cannot give an honest review on the lifetime durability of the screen protector. That said, I can still recommend ArmorSuit screen protectors for the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket or for any phone or device the company offers a compatible protector.

I'd read a lot of reviews about how difficult these screen protectors could be to install, but this was super easy to get on and it has stayed on without any problems. I originally bought this screen protector after I ended up with a few nasty cracks across my screen over the holidays, and it is doing the job of preventing any further damage/falling glass from the screen, which is exactly why I had purchased it. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to protect their screen from the tiny scratches that naturally accumulate if you don't have a case on your phone - I know I'll be buying one of these right off the bat when I buy a new phone -- which should be soon. This item was a great alternative to having the screen of my phone repaired which was quoted at about $150-$200, and I bought this instead as I'll be eligible for an upgrade in just a few months and will replace this phone. Functionality is absolutely top-notch, I've noticed no fraying or accumulation of dust on the edges of the case, and after following the quick youtube videos (to the letter) on how to install the cover, it went on and was placed perfectly without any misalignment or bubbles.I think the few reviewers who are saying this case didn't fit must not have had an AT&T S2 Skyrocket, because this fit great. Those that complain that it is difficult to install must not have followed the directions properly.Works great! Definitely worth the money over the cheaper versions.

UPDATE.....I originally was not sure if I like this as much, less than 24-hours later and using it for the day.... I love it. The difference is that it is clearer and thinner plus my screen sensitivity seems to be slightly improved. I had it at 4-stars and it is absolutely at 5-stars. Super clear and worth the money. I still have one small piece of dirt under it, but compared to a bare screen that is exposed to the elements.... there is no comparison. Definitely will be buying one for my wife as the one I had for her is not nearly as clear although it does work well.ORIGINAL POST: Unfortunately my Steinheil Ultra Crystal was no longer available on Amazon for my S2 Skyrocket.... so I had to pick something else. After looking around I chose this one and overall I am happy. Somehow I always manage to get a small piece of dirt under it. Once I get some time under my belt with it and if it holds up better... then I'll go 5-stars. The time to beat is 9-months. We will see!Other than that, overall installation was easy and it fit perfectly to the screen.

The ArmorSuit Military Shield screen protector was packaged with everything you needed to install it. The microfiber cloth was a bit too small for me so I used one of the many I already have. After removing the battery on the phone I cleaned the screen with a lens cleaner and wiped it dry with a cloth. Following the instructions, I washed my hands and moistened them with the supplied solution. I sprayed the phone and the protector and slipped the protector onto the phone screen. The solution made it very easy to position the screen protector perfectly. The fit was very good. I squeegeed the solution off and allowed the phone to dry before reinstalling the battery and turning the phone on.The screen protector had a bit of a tacky feel at first but this disappeared after a day or so. You can only tell that the screen protector is there if you look really close and it does not distort the screen in any way that I have noticed.After a week of use the screen protector still looks and feels great.
