I had a quick first scratch on my new Samsung O2, so I ordered the protective film, as a scratched screen is not nice. The annexed guide told me the screen to clean thoroughly, what I was doing with the enclosed cloth. With the naked eye I could see no more debris. After application of the film, however, were some of those can be clearly seen, since formed small Luftpölsterchen at these locations. So I have the film again carefully detached and replaced the particles with scotch tape. On the second attempt the result after smoothing with a debit card was better. The function of the touch screen is not affected by the film. My subjective impression is even better that you can wipe the screen. However, the edges of the film in the lateral optics are unfavorable to see and at the edges Sellen have arisen with unsightly, clearly recognizable Luftpölsterchen not sweep away.
Once the replacement value of the equipment has passed and my obsessive fear has laid against scratches, I will replace the unsightly film again and accept that a smartphone is a commodity now time that undergoes traces during use.
