I hated screen protectors. With a passion. They're hard to put on, they get bubbles, start to peel, distort the screen, blah, blah, blah. I've tried matte, I've tried glossy, I've tried them all. Hate them, just hate them!
Then a change occurred. I was at the Verizon store in Santa Clara, CA getting my daughter her Nexus. My wife, who also has a Nexus, says to the guy, "how much are screen protectors?" Sigh, I think, they're probably $30 each at the Verizon store plus they never look good.
He says, "they're $15 for 3 but you have a corporate discount account so it'll be under $12." Wait, what? He adds, "And I can put it on for you for no charge and we guarantee you'll like it." Wait, what? This I gotta see. My daughter says, "Can you put one of them on mine too?" "Sure," he says, no extra charge.
So, after she gets her phone he starts his work. It literally takes him more than 10 minutes to prep the phone and protector. He uses a micro fiber cloth to clean the screen, this takes a long time. He uses compressed air to blow off the dust. He uses tape to take off the dust. Then he peels off the back of the screen protector and spends a couple of minutes with tape taking off any dust. After carefully applying it to the phone he massages it with a stiff card wrapped with cloth.
I was stunned at the result. The result is amazing. It's impossible to tell there's a screen protector on the phone unless you're looking for it. No distortion, no bubbles, nothing. It's as good as a naked phone. I immediately had him put one on my phone.
I've had this on my phone for weeks now and it still looks as good as the day I got it.
I'm now sold on screen protectors and for a mere $4 each plus free labor to install it I'll never go without one again.
