Solid, inexpensive screen protector
on November 13, 2012
Posted by: LIFEFORM
from upstate New York
Just installed this protector and after working with it a bit I can say this about it:
-It's a standard install process, meaning peal off the backing, line it up on the screen, and squeegee it into place. It came with a wiping cloth and plastic squeegee card, but on a screen this size it takes a bit more patience to get it on without bubbling. Nothing special here but if you take your time and make sure your screen is nice and clean beforehand and you're in a dust-free area (misting some water into the air before getting started can help) then you can get it on very nicely.
-Film is very clear. I couldn't tell any difference in the image on-screen after installation. Also, seems to prevent fingerprint smudging better than the screen without a protector. I can only really see fingerprints on it when the light reflects off them just right, and a quick rub with the heel of my palm makes them go away.
-After peeling off the outer film layer to complete the install, the screen seemed to have a lot more friction than the screen without the protector. After a couple good cleanings with a "Screen Eraser" though, I think I got off all the residue from the adhesive that held the outer film on, and it seems pretty much just as easy to swipe a finger across it as before the protector was on.
-Packaging for shipping could be a bit better. Mine arrived in a bag-like plastic envelope, inside of which was just the kit in the same cardboard sleeve package it would have in a retail store, with no additional packaging. As a result there is a very small crease in my protector, from when the package was bent in shipping. Luckily it's only 1/4 inch long and off of the actual viewing area of the screen, but it is a noticeable blemish on an otherwise perfect install.
So, with a bit of patience and being careful (remember dust is a tricky foe when installing these), and a bit more luck with shipping than I had, what we have here is a great way to protect that beautiful screen on the Yoga for a quarter of the price Best Buy is asking for it ($9.99 vs $39.99 as of this review).
Pros: very clear, not much issue with fingerprints, much less expensive than at a retail store
Cons: packaging for shipping, install can be tricky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't waste $10

Forget this - unnecessary with today's Gorilla glass, impossible to get all the bubbles out and lint invariably gets on the sticky side while you try to attach it.
Just save yourself $10 and a bunch of aggravation.

Be smart and protect your screen
on February 15, 2013
Posted by: mlijiweb
When it comes to any touch screen product, don't mess around. Get a screen protector. This screen protector does the trick. Now please know, when your buying this..you WILL have bubbles. The only screen protector I know that you will not have bubbles is from the company Zagg. Zagg currently does not have a screen protector design for this pc. So until then, This is the Best option for your Yoga!
Pros: fits screen prefectly, has cut outs for camera
Cons: its a non spray screen protector
I would recommend this to a friend!

don't waste your money
on February 17, 2013
Posted by: CWong
Just spend 15 minutes trying to remove the bubbles after laying the screen protector on. I used the plastic card given with the product. I started with over 100 bubbles and ended up with over 100 bubbles after about 15 minutes. The plastic card scratched the screen protector. The small bubbles became smaller but still remained. I just gave up. and now it's in my garbage can
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Pros: none
Cons: can't remove air bubbles
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible product!

It is impossible to get the air bubbles out. And there's not just one or two but 50-100!! Looks terrible!

OK, if you build your own dust-free environment
on May 10, 2013
Posted by: ukds
Sad to say that having tried all I could to minimise dust, the filter bubbles on even the tiniest particle - my best was probably 10 bubbles. I'm afraid I've given up!
It reminds me of the dust and contaminant free rooms they use to make silicon chips. I think one may be required to fit this successfully! This is a shame, as it's well-cut to shape and might otherwise be inobtrusive.
Pros: size/cutting
Cons: impossible to fit clean
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not for the perfectionist
on July 13, 2013
Posted by: Fred
If you're a perfectionist- spend the extra money and have a screen protector installed, professionally. I've watched "professionals" do this, and 75% of the time there is (at least) 1 bubble or a speck of dust that got trapped.
You need a steady hand, patience and a dust-free environment to get it perfect.
Compared to the prices of other manufacturers, I could buy 3 from Lenovo and still come out ahead. So I took a gamble and bought 2. Low and behold, I screwed up the first one- 1 speck of dust that I tried to take off of the underside of the film- UGH!
So I went to the second one. Voila!!! 1 speck of dust down at the bottom edge!!!! I TAKE IT!!! At $14, I consider myself a winner. Good Luck!

Doesn't fit Yoga 2 Pro
on December 23, 2013
Posted by: whit
Just received my Y2P (after waiting 5 weeks beyond original projected shipping date) and attempted to install the screen protector. It is slightly too wide and 1/2 inch short in height. Very disappointed. Notice Lenonvo is still selling this screen protector with the Yoga 2 Pro. Hopefully L looks at feedback and will stop selling this product with the the Y2P and maybe provide a protector of the right dimensions.
I can't say anything else about the product other than compared to installing a protector on a smart phone this is much harder to properly align.
Cons: wrong size
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
