re: Glass screen protectors

None of the rigid ones, so I'm interested in trying one now. The whole "lift and fix" and squeezing out bubbles probably won't be possible, but I rarely need to do that, unless I fricked up the alignment (which means I have to remove the whole thing anyway). The main cause of air bubbles are impurities on the screen, specks of dust that you might not even see. Easiest trick to mitigate that is to install it in a makeshift "clean room" -- a steamy bathroom with hot water running -- to cut down on dust in the air, and use tape wrapped around a pencil (sticky side out) to remove tiny dust specks if they settle on the "adhesive" side of the protector itself. This was also handy a couple days ago when I had to disassemble my WQHD IPS monitor and separate the top layer of the screen from the diffuser to remove a dead bug. That was a high-stress task.

After watching the Flossy Carter video, these rigid ones look way easier to install than the flimsy plastic ones and look nicer too. I may look for one for my 4S. Will report the results of install.

EDIT: Oh, take a closer look at those reviews. The product listing includes choices for what amounts to Tech Armor's entire line up of screen protectors (a total of 7 different products), and the other ones are your typical plastic static clings (plus one case). Amazon lumped all the reviews together, so you'll have to pay attention to which ones are specifically for the ballistic glass. I'm betting the complaints of bubbles are mostly pertaining to their standard plastic ones, which would be 100% user error.

EDIT 2: Looks like I have some choices. The prices vary widely, and the basic specs are the same -- tempered glass, 0.33mm thick, 9H Hardness, oleophobic coating. In my experience with the standard plastic screen protectors, having used about 6 different brands, they were all the same from $1 to $15 -- with the exception of one brand I got at WalMart, WriteRight, which was way more scratch prone than the others. With these rigid ones, I'm wondering if quality would vary in clarity and flatness. I don't want to spend $20 on one just as an experiment, but the < $10 ones with zero reviews have piqued my curiosity...
