ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Tablet Z - [Max Coverage] Anti-Bubble HD Clear Film

I ordered this screen protector. The first one came in a soft envelope so the item was damaged when it came. I called Amazon and they sent me a replacement. I recommended they ship it in a box vs a soft envelope. Since Amazon said I could keep the first one I decided to install the first one as a practice. I installed it well from a placement perspective but had 2 specs of dust under it, and there was a crinkle in it from being damaged (Crushed when shipped). I installed it in a steamy bathroom to help with the dust. When the second one came for my real install I went to install it the same as I did the first. This time however my placement was not quite right. I went to pull it back up and spray it to re-apply but my spray only had 1 spray left in it. The bottle was moist on the outside so I am not sure if some leaked but I did not have enough spray left to re-correct my install as they show in the installation video.I have installed many screen protectors on my phones before and never had this type of trouble with an install. I think the screen protector itself is fine however mine is currently drying but i see white marks all underneath the screen protector currently. If this does go away by the time it dries the thing will thrown out. I will update my review to confirm how it looks after 24 hours, but I think because i did not have enough spray to respray it all its not going to look very good.I think there are a couple of key things to improve with this protect:- Make sure you ship it in a box. The box it comes in has the screen protector rolled up in it. If the retail packaging then gets crused the screen protector gets damaged. Therefore it needs to be shipping in a box to protect it from this.- More application fluid needs to be provided. There is not really extra provided so if you use it and then make a mistake you screw yourself.- Develop a product that does not use the liquid. I moved a way from Phantom skinz on my phone to spigen, and my spigen screen protectors use no liquid and the install is fantastic.You cannot even tell a screen protector is on. Plus they give you dust stickers to remove dust if you happen to get dust on them. Being that a tablet screen is so much bigger it would be better if the product was improved to provide some way to correct your install and get rid of the odd dust spec.I think one of the big problems with the liquid application is if you have dust, it gets in the liquid on your screen as your applying. This makes it hard to see and remove. With a dry application you can see the dust on your screen, use a dust sticker to remove it real quick and continue your install.Will update this review tomorrow with final result.UPDATE-Product still had haziness after 4 days. It did not completely remove this however it did fade a lot. It was not usable though for long term so I had to remove the screen protector.My thoughts on this product are that if you can get the perfect install then it will be a great screen protector. However its very hard to do this as its wet application. With wet application if you get an odd spec of dust on the screen that you have sprayed with the liquid, its impossible to see it in the liquid until you apply the protector and squeegy it, and then you have to redo it, however your given limited solution to be able to keep doing this. I think wet application works better on phones when you have a smaller surface area for getting dust on. I tried a dry application screen protector after this and was able to get pretty much a perfect install. Any dust that I got on the screen I was able to remove with dust removal sticker.

This is my second ArmorSuit for the same device. The first was defective, it arrived scratched and didn't stick to the screen for more that a few days. I followed the application exactly as suggested by the video. This one applied much easier and arrived in good condition. It's clear and mostly bubble free.There are 3 reasons why I would recommend this screen protector.1. It's made in the USA and that is rare. It was enough for me to give it another go.2. It provides solid protection from normal use if you apply it correctly, but not as extreme as the company implies.3. Compared to what is currently available, it's the best.There are also 3 reasons why I would not recommend this protector.1. The application is very messy, and though my Xperia is highly water resistant, I do not like the fact that this screen protector requires a wet application. Also, even after 36 hours, there are still small bubbles under the screen. Not as bad as other protectors, but they are there. Just like with applying window tint, there is no way to avoid this, you just have to hope they dry.2. The provided applicator has a smooth edge and one with small burrs on it where it was cut to shape. If you use the wrong side you will scratch the heck out of the film, even after wetting the surface. I made this mistake with the first application and those tiny scratches never went away. I can't see how they can claim self-healing unless the one I got was just all around defective.3. Part of the reason this screen protector is so expensive is the messy application, which requires that more is included than is needed with dry protectors. The other reason is the life-time "free" replacement warranty. What they don't tell you is that you are responsible for shipping, which isn't much less than buying a new kit. They aren't offering a free replacement, they are just discounting the next one you purchase. But they are happy to sell it to you, no questions asked.I exchanged mine through Amazon, which is why I buy everything here, because they didn't charge me to replace a defective item.If you don't mind the application and you aren't concerned about the warranty, you will be more that satisfied.

It is a wet application, one of the most expensive products for Sony Xperia Z on Amazon. Based on reviews, I assumed it was a good product. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for dust particles on the film.Tablet was brand new so there was no dust - the original plastic cover from the tablet was removed and was replaced with the ArmorSuit shield. Still there were several minute dust particles that were on the film and they ended up looking like air bubbles, until I turned the tablet on and I could see the dirt on the screen.Reviewed youtube to use the tape method to remove dirt from the screen, but the dirt would not come off the film because it was stuck on the tacky side. Second, I tried to wash the film as instructed by the help desk of ArmorSuit (prompt response to my initial contact for help), washing did not help. Looked up youtube to see if there was anything else that could be done - found washing the film with kitchen sink soap and luke warm tap water might do the trick - nothing.Film is sitting now and the tablet is using Tech Armor now - which was perfect.I am giving them 3 Stars now for Customer Service - they replied back and offered to replace the product, for that alone I they deserve 5 stars, I will update again based on my next review after I receive the product.
