Amazon Kindle Fire Screen Protector

[Merischino]

I invested i think about 8 bucks in the amazon web store for a pack of two screen protectors for the fire.

The gorilla glass may prevent scratching, however i found that my finger would grab on drag efforts making the imperfect kf sensitivity worse. That, and fingerprint oil wasn't wiping off or getting any better unless i added glass cleaner and microfiber to the process.

I'm very happy with These skins, the brand is Spare Products, they came with EXCELLENT. Instructions, a microfiber wipe, a "squeege" aka stoic card for smoothing out bubbles, and a stickybacked card for removing failed attempts gently so as to permit.second chances to get it right in the event of a dusty environment. Or poor positioning.

Def worth the money.

Now my of surfaCE IS SMOOTHE, MY finger slides evenly, and the skin has a pleasantly matte surface with no glare. The stiff card smoothed out the bubbles very effectively.

Watch the video to see what I mean about Orange Peel and especially fingerprints. XO is the best you can get for sure.

It cuts on glare compared to others but not as much as like an anti glare. The problem with those is they rainbow in direct sunlight which kind of defeats the purpose of having one.

I own XO Skins and Xtreme and they are both made of the same material. The keyword in the description for both products: helicopter blades.

I agree XO Skins are excellent and I have one installed on my Entourage Pocket Edge with no complaints. However, I have an Xtreme on my Viewsonic gTab and it is equally nice. I have ordered them both (Xtreme doesn't make a screen protector for the Pocket Edge). The difference is that XO skins in addition to the screen protector sends you a spray bottle of soap solution, a cloth, and a squeegee. Xtreme only sends you a screen protector and you have to make the solution with water and a couple of drops of soap and you use a credit card to squeegee it.

Again, I agree XO skins are excellent but, so are Xtreme. There both great choices.

I use a Microfiber cloth with a dab of water.

Kind of strange but I don't find I need anything other than a microfiber cloth. No cleaning liquids or water to completely clear it of fingerprints.

This seems to get the job done quite well and can be found at a number of stores.

A dab of water will remove the oil buildup that the cloth can't

I asked their customer service what was safe and they said as long as it wasn't anything acidic like window cleaner it should be fine.

As one who wouldn't consider using a touch device without a screen protector, I am surprised that I prefer to use my Fire "naked." I carry one of my microfiber cloths used on my camera lenses and I find it is all that is needed. The surface stays surprisingly clean.

Me too! This is the first time I have not used a screen protector and I just use the microfiber cloth.

I just use a microfiber cloth, nothing else. It works perfectly.

Don't the fingerprints drive you crazy? Before I used these I hated that.

Me too. I definitely hate the fingerprints but I hate losing screen clarity even more. I put a non-glare screen protector on my iPad that was so terrible I had to immediately remove it. It made already blurry text even more unreadable. I put a non-glare screen protector on my NookColor that was so-so. It was like looking through a thin piece of glass with thousands of micro-sized air bubbles. It didn't blur the text, but the gritty look would get to my eyes after a while. Since screen protectors cost around $20 it is a huge gamble, IMO, and one not worth taking.
