Power Support Anti-Glare Installation Questions

[j4syn]

so i installed the power support anti-glare on my 3g .. it looks great but isn't working the way it should i presume. sensitivity of the screen is awful. i need to apply a big amount of pressure in order to get the thing to acknowlegde that i'm pressing on it

i'm curious if it's because i used rubbing alcohol to install the screen on. does that ruin the film? from what i can see all the rubbing alcohol has been evaporated .. i just don't know what the deal is .. everyone says this item doesn't make the iphone 3g lose sensitivity so i find it odd :confused:

any advice?

I would give it 12-24 hrs and if the sensitivity is still poor, rip it off and try another one. Without rubbing alcohol.

have it on my phone and my wifes. It feels a little different, but there are no sensitivity issues.
Curious why did you use alcohol? the directions say to clean the phone and install on a dry surface. I would remove and redo without the alcohol.

Same here. I have it on my iPod touch, and it feels much better than my iPhone which has an anti-glare film from another manufacturer. I would reapply without alcohol, too.

I just installed the Crystal Film Set by Power Support. I dropped by one of my local Apple stores and they sell them. They come as a set of two protective film sheets for $14.95 (USD).

So far, so good. (eye-Fone knocks on wood)

I literally installed it about ten minutes ago. Only time will tell if it works for me. My concern, which I'll find out in the next few days, is if the film will hold up after I constantly put my iPhone in and out of my front pocket. I'm worried about it peeling pack or loosening, as well as getting dust under it. Other than this film, I normally carry a naked iPhone (no case; nothing).

It looks really good. Actually, it doesn't look at all--which is what I wanted. You won't notice it by just glancing at the phone. It doesn't mute any of the colors like the matte finish of the anti-glare film. This is the main reason I bought the Crystal version, as opposed to the anti-glare version.

I also haven't noticed any difference in touch sensitivity. Of course, I haven't used it much since installation.

Prior to installation, I sprayed a little Windex on a clean cloth and wiped the front glass. I made sure the glass was completely dry. Then I used the pre-installation film to ensure there was no dust. Then I laid down the actual protective film and used the edge of a credit card to smooth it out as I laid it down. It is important that you do not touch the "iPhone side" side of the actual film with anything--no fingers, no cloth, nothing.

I had to straighten it out a couple of times so that it fit perfectly. Tip #1: Use a piece of scotch tape and stick it to the outer side edge of the film to lift the film up for repositioning.

Oh yeah, work in a very dust-free environment. Tip #2: If you have a difficult time finding a dust-free room, I recommend going into a bathroom and steam it up a bit with a hot shower. Turn off the shower and let the steam subside. This helps to remove floating dust in the air. At this point, you can start putting on the film.

i've had the same film on my otherwise-naked 3G for a few months now and it has withstood regular pocketing beautifully.
