I don't know if anyone else has had sucess with the Clear Protector brand screen protector, but I hate it. I don't doubt that it does what the manufacturer claims that it does, BUT it is NOT worth the agrevation it takes to install it. The one I got was able a millimeter too long, but by far the biggest problem is the fact that the material itself stretches. You are supposed to wet it, and then squeegee out the water from between the protector and the screen. If it's too wet, it just freely floats around, so the trick is to apply it just dry enough to hold its place. I could handle that, but as I ran the squeegee over the piece, it would stretch so the far end would bunch up against the rim. I litterally peeled and repositioned the product more than 30 times before I finally took the scissors to it to make it smaller. That actually helped, but every time I re-peeled a failed attempt, it was imparting these barely perceptable creases in the material. Ultimately I end up with a reasonably well-fitting protector, but it had a very subtle "texture" from all the stretching and previous struggles I had with it. Finally I just removed it, and decided I'm much happier without it. That was among the mostly frustrating wastes of 90 minutes ever. My recomendation, just don't bother.
