Defenslim Screen Protector for iPhone XS (2Pack), Easy Auto-Align Install Kit, 5.8" Tempered Glass, 9H Hardness, Ultra HD Clear, Case Friendly, EasyShield

I dropped my phone yesterday and cracked the screen guard from Witkeen (PHOTO 1). I got this screen protector a year ago (at an airport) for my iPhone 6 Plus . This was the third (brand) screen protector I've bought; the first was for the smaller iPhone 4s, the second was for my current phone, but changed cases and the other protector was too thick. If you're like me, when you look online for a small but important item like this, and see several thousand results, you gravitate towards either the cheapest ones (with most stars) or the most expensive ones; all the others in the middle are a toss up, where cost of shipping is usually the deciding factor. The Witkeen DefenSlim screen protector falls in the middle, but I have been extremely pleased with it. My first protector cost more than 2x what this did (I won't mention the name here), and did a decent job (Unfortunately, I've dropped my phone with every screen protector I've had, and they all did what they were supposed to do).My experience with the Witkeen DefenSlim has been exceptional, in my opinion, especially when I don't really know the minute feature differences from brand to brand that can greatly affect the price. I do however, want to share my experience so you can make a more informed decision.Pro's:1. The screen protects the phone screen from cracks and/or shattering; it does what it claims to do, which isn't always the case.2. Picture/Graphic quality is superb. I have the HD version.3. Touchscreen interaction is excellent; I would give it a 9/10. The only time I have any problem is when I'm wearing gloves (the touch-screen enabled gloves); I have to really press hard or take my glove off. Fortunately, I live in California now, so I won't be wearing gloves too often.4. Very thin, works with almost any type of case; I was skeptical about its ability to protect at that thickness, but it does.5. Rounded/beveled edges of screen, so it doesn't catch on loose threads, pocket corners, etc. (PHOTO 2)6 You get 2 screens. Having an extra screen handy when you drop your phone on concrete, face-first, right before leaving on a long road-trip is gold; it's like finding a $20 bill in your jacket pocket from a year ago. Not that it's hard to order a screen, the hard part is deciding which of the 25,000 vendors on Prime who sell screen protectors, you should order from. Avoiding that alone is worth the price.7. Easy to take the old, broken screen off, and put the new one on (see Con's # 4, if you're new to smartphone screen removal).8. Very easy to clean, even after being handled by children who seem to make everything they touch sticky. I use a generic lens cleaning wipe from CVS, then an eyeglass cleaning cloth. I usually clean my glasses first, then my phone. Yes, my glasses end up sticky too for some reason.9. Install directions are simple and straightforward, with cleaning cloths and screen well labeled. (PHOTOS 3-6)Con's:1. On my first screen (the one I just broke), I had an annoying bubble in a corner that wouldn't go away. After about 3 weeks, I used a hairdryer on hot for about a minute or two, and the bubble went away.2. Edges of screen don't go far enough to the edge of the phone. I know this feature is to allow larger/bulky cases to fit, but since getting the larger phone model, I tend to get the slimmer screens, and have a 1/4" gap bordering the phone. Not a big deal, but it is annoying. (PHOTOS 2 & 7)3. OK, this is being nit-picky, but you get a small sticker (piece of tape), to use to get any miscellaneous hair(s) or dust on the screen, so you don't have to use your fingers. While this is a good idea, the instructions didn't make this really clear, and I'm the type of person who usually doesn't have extra parts after assembling a product. The unused piece of tape was mocking me.(PHOTO 8)4. Instructions don't indicate a recommended or best way to remove the old, broken screen. To me it seemed to make sense to use a single edge razor or dental floss; however, when seeing my wife try to use a Santoku knife, then a pair of serrated scissors, I realized that better removal instructions for the old screen should probably be included, so you can avoid the large scratch in the middle of the iPhone screen… the screen you bought the protector to protect.5. While I don't think this one is a 'Con', I was asked nicely to add it in. Don't put the screen on near your cat.

Purchased this because I wanted a screen protector that wouldn’t crack from dropping my phone. This one had great reviews so I tried it. I accidentally cracked the screen when I was inserting phone into its case. The company has messaged me to see how the protector was and I told them what happened. They immediately sent me another one and even checked to see if that one was working. I’m happy to say it is. I frequently get out of my car with my phone in my lap, sending it to my concrete driveway. It hasn’t cracked yet. Great product and instructions make it simple to apply. Easy to apply (no bubbles), great protection, and awesome customer service!

It works just like the video. Applied the glass perfectly in one try where i normally have to work so hard to get it centered and reapply. I wish I had known about this product sooner. It’s nice that it comes with 2 so you can do two. Would recommend and buy again in the future.

The screen was exceptionally easy to install with the guide and template, well thought out and produced. Getting rid of the bubbles, however was the most difficult experience as I have had (therefore one star deducted)...and I have installed many screen protectors,I now have 3 small impossible -to -get -rid -of bubbles after spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to remove them. Very disappointing. I watched several videos and meticulously followed each step. The video of how to do it makes it seem easy- I wonder how many takes they did to get to that point.Only time will tell how the screen holds up. If I develop any issues I will update the review.

Easy to put on if you follow the instructions step by step. Looks great and while it was a chore to move the air bubbles to the edge of the protector…. It was well worth it. It is flawless.

I never do product reviews but this install experience was “next level”. The product itself is perfectly sized and disappears on the phone. I normally agonize over getting the position just right & have to spend a fair amount of time working out bubbles and inevitably it turns out a little crooked. The positioning system is so easy to use and work so well that I couldn’t believe it. I’m a customer for life.

This company provided amazing service when Amazon dropped the ball. Amazon took forever and then lost the package. When Amazon did a cancellation of the order so I could get a refund, DeFenSlim contacted me to ask went I canceled. I explained what happened and Cristina apologized and went above and beyond to make it right. When I received the product, it was off great quality and very easy to do. Will definitely do business with DeFenSlim again

Update: The seller offered a full refund and replaced the screen protectors. Great people to work with and is a great product!The applicator was awesome. Installed the screen protector perfectly. However one of the two screen protectors came damaged. So now I no longer have a spare. Will be contacting customer support to hopefully rectify that.

Product came quick in the mail, set up was super easy, as the first screen cover came pre-set up in the box which was great. Even better has warranty. They also have gone above and beyond with their support, THANK YOU!!! I'm not much for writing reviews BUT they are worth more than five stars.........

So far I am happy with the product. I liked how easy it was to install.

Me han gustado que traen el paso a paso muy claro y con un soporte que es del tamaño exacto del celular, para que se coloque la mica en su lugar y no salga movida ni nada por el estilo.Es la 3a vez que las compro para unos celulares de mi familia y nos han gustado mucho.

I have been through many screen protectors as a family of three I have installed a lot this is by far the easiest and best one I have ever done it took a few weeks to get here but well worth the wait

Very good
