Great heavy duty screen protector. My only issue with this product was trying to attach it to my device without air bubbles! You have to do this part VERY slowly and carefully otherwise you will have bubbles underneath the screen and you will have to start all over! Also DO NOT throw away the little sticky paper they send you because this is what you will use to get any dust particles from under the screen before you make the seal onto the device! The dust particles cause the bubbles! But still it is a great product!
The screen protector comes in a kit. Not having any previous experience with add-on screen protectors, I found the application of this protector for my Kindle to be both easy and simple: clean and dry the surface, position the protector, place the hinges in position to hold the protector in place, and then using the tab, lift the protector, gently use the tab (marked as BACK) to remove the adhesive cover, and re-lower the protector into place. Took less than 5-minutes to complete the process.
As the protective plate was lowered into place, the adhesive visibly began adhering from the hinges down toward the bottom. I gently used the stiff bubble card to remove any visible (I didn't see any, btw), waited a few minutes, and removed the hinge tabs. All done.
I have my Kindle in a protective outer case, and found that the screen protector was a little thicker than I expected. So, the magnetic features if the cover would not engage when closed.
As for the sensitivity of touch transferred through the protector, I found no difference between the before and after application of the protective screen. I, also, use a stylus with my Kindle Fire.
Hope this helps others trying to decide if they want a protective screen.

This is an extremely, well-built, well-designed screen protector. The first thing that I was shocked to notice was how well the product was packaged. When it arrived, and before I opened it. I had no idea that it was what I had ordered. My God! The packaging had to have cost three times as much as the screen itself, easily! I say all of this to emphasise just how much effort they use to ensure that they produce an unbroken product, quality screen protector..
Now let's talk about the quality of the product. The screen is totally clear,as you'd expect. It is, after all, glass, you know!
It is responsive o your finger, or stylus. It appears to be highly scratch resistant. It does not attract dust or smudges. And the price...is so reasonable, makes this the ultimate choice!
If o 's got your new Kindle 2015, 10.1 screen, then, you can only blame yourself.
Did I mention how good the customer service is. They are very helpful in resolving your issues. So, if you have any issues at all, they will guide you through.
I would like to rate the product with 10 stars but Amazon only allows 5 stars.
We first bought the three pack plastic ones of another brand, but the bubbles were too much, and I decided to purchase this screen protector. It arrived in a case to protect the glass, but it also came with screen cleaner wipes, soft cloth, pull tabs, bubble remover thing (which you won't need if you read the instructions). Super easy, super quick, and a super product. It's been on the kindle my 6 year old uses for two weeks with no scratches or dings.
First - and this is critical - on large Kindles, you have to be sure all four corners are lined up precisely before you press the center of the screen to cause the protector to adhere to the screen. A single tiny fraction of an inch off will cause an strip to appear under the protector. So, particularly if your Kindle is large, you should do that. It's not in their directions and it should be. It would save their customers grief and them money on replacing their customers' screens if they would add that to their directions. However, when I complained to the company and sent them a photo of the problem, they sent a replacement with extremely friendly service. Very nice people. The second protector is now on my screen and it's beautiful. You can hardly tell I even have a protector on, it's so clear and responsive.
So, I was disappointed in this protector at first - but only at first - because all the great reviews convinced me to try this screen protector and it ended up being a failure. I am the person who always takes care of my family's technology needs, so I figure I have probably put 25 screen protectors onto various devices now, including at least ten onto pretty big Kindle screens, and I know I applied it correctly. I was very, very careful. But the corner wasn't perfectly aligned on one side. I followed the directions very carefully... but it ended up with one side of the screen having that strip - about an inch wide and most of the way up and down the ten inch screen where the protector was slightly separated from the screen because the corner wasn't aligned perfectly. Like a giant bubble that I couldn't remove with any amount of smoothing out from the center of the screen. I did everything I could to eliminate it.
Honesty, the strip was not as annoying as I expected it to be. When my Kindle was turned on, it was not as visible I I thought it would be. It didn't disturb me at all while I was reading, writing, playing games, or taking care of things on email or the Internet or social media. It was slightly visible when I was playing games. A similar strip appeared on my son's same identical type of protector when my son applied one to his Kindle - he wouldn't let me apply it because he assumed the strip was due to a faulty application process on my part, but if you're applying the protector to a very large screen, it's easy to accidentally leave a corner off. So, it happened to him, too. He removed the screen protector without using the Kindle and demanded a different kind of screen protector as a replacement.
Since OMOTON learned that I was unhappy with my protector and immediately replaced it free of charge, and since the replacement is beautifully applied, I've edited my review. This screen protector is very clear with a crisp image and sensitive use when you touch the screen. My hubby's Kindle had one of those roll on, plastic screen protectors and when I shift from looking at my Kindle to looking at his, the image on mine is so much crisper and sharper. I'm trying to convince him that we need to replace his protector now.
So, it's complicated.

Update. After reading my earlier poor review I was contacted by the seller. They were sorry about my bad experience and sent another one to try at no cost. Had much better results. This time there was only one very small bubble which is probably a dust particle I somehow missed and is almost imperceptible.
I had high hopes for this product. It certainly looked like top quality protection when I opened the package. I've had bad luck trying to put screen protectors on various other tablets and phones with little success. Those however were just flimsy plastic things. This looked like something that might work. My experience with this so called "bubble free" product however was little different. I read the instructions and watched the video online but still ended up with several bubbles that I couldn't get rid of. Could just be bad luck but I won't try to do it myself again and will take it to a professional to be done.
I took some time to research, then read through the reviews of a variety of screen protectors and am glad I picked this one. Ever since we've had mobile phones, iPads and Kindles, I've protected their screens, but always with the old style thin plastic protectors that were a bear to put on, and got scuffed up looking after not much use so felt experienced enough to take on using this thin glass protector.
From that experience, here is what I used to make my first try at putting on the protector a huge success - 0 bubbles.
First, read through the instructions, and watch their video. Then, set up the environment. The most obvious initial thing to do is pick a day when you've just vacuumed. We have an air cleaner so after 2 hours, I hoped all the dust will have both settled and been sucked out by the air cleaner.
I partially filled a spray bottle (bought here on Amazon) with a mixture of Fabric softener liquid, and water. I then sprayed the extended area around where I'd be putting the protector on - a large kitchen table is sufficient. You want to get rid of static everywhere, including yourself. In preparation, I also started up my 6 gallon air compressor and had it filled with air.
Now onto the package: It comes with 3 plastic hinges, not 2 like the video shows - so I used all three after perfectly aligning the protector with the camera pin hole on the Kindle. One hand holds the protector, the other sticks the hinges on. You've got to get this done perfectly and this is the time to correct any alignment issues. USE the wipes!! Both the wet one first, getting every square millimeter of the screen, and then the same with the dry one. You'll find that aftewards, the screen looks beautifully clean.
Things go quickly from here. Put something underneath the back edge of the pad so it slightly angles towards you (1" is high enough). I then lifted up the protector to about a 45 degree angle, and here used the air compressor with a special fitting attached to it. Turn down the outward pressure so you don't blow the pad or protector away. I gave the screen several blasts of air, both on the screen and the underside of the protector. Then with the same angle being maintained, quickly removed the protective sheath on the underside of the protector. Then, I gently lowered the protector down until it was finger tip width away, and because of the item underneath that was angling it towards me (and the weight it was gently pulling via gravity), that enabled it to drop down perfectly, with the hinges assisting it in maintaining the perfect alignment.
I touched the middle, but saw that the sticking process was coming from the outside inwards, and so the finger touch was crucial to start the process outwards. The two fronts met about 2 inches from the outer edge, and at first, there was a large unstuck area about the size of a silver dollar. Some quick pushing with the plastic paddle (supplied in the kit) made the bubble disappear. Then, it was another smaller one closer to the edge. That took some amount of pushing with the paddle, but in a couple of minutes, it too was gone.
Perfect. Not a single bubble, and it looks like it came from the factory. Amazing.
It's a nice product, although it's tough to get every last spec of dust off the screen before the protector goes down - my fault, not theirs. The instructions were clear and the prep tools provided were good. A light touch on the center of the protector starts the sticking process, which spreads by itself to the edges. Have your bubble remover handy to chase the bubbles to the edge. I had to remove the protector the first time due to a large piece of dust which found its way under the protector at the last minute. It wasn't a problem and it stuck down on the second try just like it did the first time. The remaining small bubbles went away after a couple of days. The finished product looks great.
Edit, 4/18/16: This edit is way overdue, but here it is nonetheless. After I gave this product a one-star review because it broke, the seller sent us a free replacement. Due to chaotic events in our lives, it was a long time before my husband had the time to install it. This time, it went on smoothly, with no bubbles. It works and looks great. So I'd recommend it, especially since the company stands by its products and will send a replacement if you have a problem like we did.
Original review:
I bought my husband a Kindle Fire HD 10 for Christmas and this glass screen protector. Ever since there were smart phones and tablets, he's been installing screen protectors on them, including glass ones. He's done it dozens of times.
This is one of the worst screen protectors we have ever bought.
The product description promises "bubble-free installation". Well, it had bubbles. Lots of them. And when my husband gently lifted the corner so he could reposition it and remove the bubbles, the screen protector immediately cracked and splintered across the entire thing. He had his hands on this piece of crap for less than 3 minutes before it was destroyed.
Protection for my beautiful new Kindle! After reading some of the reviews, I was careful to follow the directions exactly. I treated it very carefully, knowing it was made of very thin glass. The protector went on just great. No problem. When I gently touched the center after laying it on after the prep work, it's like it was magnetically pulled down against the screen. I only had to help it a little, always following the directions. When it was finally down, it is like it just disappeared. Now my Kindle screen is protected and no one can even tell it is there. (You can see the edge of the protector if you hold up the kindle and look along the side, though)
