This review is from: Anti-Scratch Screen Protector 3-Pack for Kindle Fire HD (will only fit Kindle Fire HD) (Accessory)
I’ll let you in one a little secret if you promise to keep it between us – these things dont cost £17.99 to make!
I dont know how anyone could justify the price for these. OK so they’re the official “made for kindle fire hd” screen protectors, but so what? There are countless other screen protectors also made for kindle fire hd which offer similar protection but at a fraction of the price. They will work just as well and dont cost as much as a blu-ray film
I’m guessing the company who manufacturers these struck a deal with Amazon allowing them to slap the “official” badge on them, but they seem to be offloading that cost onto the consumer. These are horribly overpriced, please avoid and buy one of the cheaper alternatives, use the money you just saved to buy a nice film.

This review is from: Anti-Scratch Screen Protector 3-Pack for Kindle Fire HD (will only fit Kindle Fire HD) (Accessory)
Having used anti scratch screen protectors on SLR cameras etc I was expecting at £17.99 for 3 a robust product.
However having fitted the first one it barely stayed on and appeared to have little adhesive power and quite flimsy when attached to the Hindle HD screen etc and the labels attached were not that easy to remove whole and left remanants on the protector requiring delicate removal. Also using the applicator card in an attempt to remove bubbles, it slightly scratched the screen protector even when used lightly [the cloth was better] and their were far too many small bubbles which would not disappear and this is despite being familair with using these products regularly. The actual base holding the screen protector would have been a better product to attach as it was more robust although its thickness for touch-screen would need to be slightly thinner.
One would have thought with Amazons reputation such screen protectors would have been included with the product especially when spending £199 + £!7.99 on a powerfast charger + the £17.99 on these anti-scratch protectors which I feel was wasted money.
I was very disappointed with the quality and thickness of these protectors although I accept others will be satisfied, but my experience is they need to be thicker.

I had previously read the feedback for this product on the US site which was quite negative so was a little concerned about what I was going to receive.
However, the screen protector looks great now it is on the Kindle but as other reviewers have said it is fiddly to put on. It has taken me two attempts as any dust particles or air bubbles that you cannot remove immediately you are stuck with. The instructions enclosed help a lot but the diagram for step 3 is the wrong way round as you have to pull the ‘back tab’ back underneath the adhesive side rather than on top. Needless to say my second attempt was seemless and the screen protector looks perfect.
The instructions mention an on-line video but I could not find it. I think it would help if Marware could include a dummy screen protector that you can practise with before you try the real thing and waste one of them.
I have given the product four stars as I am really happy with the look of it on the Kindle. I just wish it had not been such a faff to put it on.
