Customer Review: iKross 3-Pack Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protector: Must Have for iPod Touch!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the iKross 3-Pack Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protector when I bought my iPod Touch. I got this for 1 penny with a rubberized case to protect the backside of the Touch. The combo has been a great addition to my iPod Touch purchase because it gives me peace of mind when I "touch" my Touch with grubby fingers. Now, I don't worry about that. They give you a packet of screen protectors -- enough to protect the Touch for a long time. I'm on my first one still. They "install" very easily, adhering to the Touch's screen with some sort of adhesive that's not sticky, per se, but it "sticks" to the Touch's screen. Hard to explain, easy to install. Didn't seem like it would leave any residue when removed and you can't even tell it's there after you put it on the screen. For the money, it was a no-brainer. Go for it!
Rubberized Case to go with it: Speck PixelSkin Rubberized Case for iPod touch 2G (Black) - get this, too. It also fits the 3G (new) iPod Touch, which is what I have here.
Amazon's "buy all three" suggestion brought these to mind, and with the $20 I saved buying the iPod Touch on Amazon instead of [...] (my usual place to purchase Apple products), I got the other two protection items for FREE. Can't beat that!
Customer Review: buy the Griffin screen protectors instead
Summary: 1 Stars
As someone said earlier, this is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. These screen protectors were difficult to install without getting dozens of small bubbles underneath. Additionally, they were easily damaged. Within the span of a few days I got several non-removable smears and a fairly significant scratch (only on the screen protector itself - to be fair, it did prevent the scratch from penetrating to the screen). Either way, it forced me to replace the protector after only a few days of use.
I ended up buying the Griffin product instead (more expensive, unfortunately) Griffin 8209-ITSPCC Screen Care Kit for iPod Touch
but they were extremely easy to install (they come attached to a thick piece of plastic that stays attached until you are happy with the alignment on the screen) and I had no trouble with bubbles underneath the screen protector. Additionally, they are easy to clean - it's almost impossible to tell that there is anything protecting the screen.
Bite the bullet and spend the extra money for something better. You will be happy that you did.
Customer Review: Good bargain, does the job well
Summary: 4 Stars
I received the iKross screen protectors from the seller in only a few days. The price is very cheap in comparison to other screen protectors out there. In all, including shipping, you get 3 quality protectors for a really good price. I find the screen protector solution in general a pain to apply because I've got clumsy fingers and I wound up wasting one of my three on the first try. But this would be the same issue no matter what brand. Luckily you get three in one package. I was able to apply the second one easily enough after the lessons I learned from the first one. My iTouch is now protected and I have a spare protector left. They cover the full face of the ipod. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
I wanted to add to this review because I've been using the iKross screen protector for about 3 months now. It's proven to be a really good product. I now understand why there are three screen protectors included. It's not because you will need extras but because it will probably take at least one or two to practice getting the screen protector on properly. But once on it stays put and is so indiscreet you forget it's there. I would bump up my review to 5 stars if possible.
Customer Review: bargaincell - not the iKross!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
My 3-pack came from bargain cell. It was not the iKross brand but rather a knock-off no-name brand that says "Screen protector - Whole protection on your Digital handhelds" and "100% Japan Material" on the front. There are 3 individual packages. The screen protector did fit almost all of the screen on the iPod touch 2G. There was about a 1/16" around the edge left. The directions that came with it were in broken english and the pictures weren't very helpful. Luckily it's kind've a no-brainer application. It came with a 2" x 2" microfiber cloth. Once the screen protector was installed I could see what looks like an oily film on the screen. Once the iPod lights up it's not really noticeable. However, since i know it's there, it drives me nuts. I'm not at all pleased with this product. I suppose it does what it's supposed to, but I really wanted the iKross brand. I have not tried contacting the seller yet. I will look into how to do that. Shipping was decent.
Update: I attempted to contact the seller via Amazon.com. I never received a reply back nor any confirmation whatsoever that my query was received. I recommend to everyone that you avoid this seller, Bargain Cell.
Customer Review: decent product with 1 fatal flaw...
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, a warning to potential buyers- these are not Ikoss brand, they are a generic brand simply called "Screen protetor".
Now as for the product itself, it is decent with the exception of 1 fatal flaw. After application onto the ipod touch there is a tab to remove that says "Please peel off this mask AFTER application"... well good luck with that, b/c although the tab does come off, it leaves behind paper and the sticky glue like substance holding the tab to the screen protector. So the top right hand corner ends up all gluey/tacky/smudgy. I actually ending up throwing away 2 of the 3 screen protectors b/c there was no way to get them totally clean. for the third one i used a tiny amount of "goo gone" and removed the tab BEFORE applying it to my ipod. that did the trick and the screen went on nice and clear.
As for the application itself, it was fairly easy- the screen protector fits the ipod perfectly, and air bubbles were easy to remove with the card enclosed.
I will definitely not buy this brand again, but for 3 bucks (including shipping) I shouldn't have been surprised that this wouldn't be that great.
