Quality and Appearance

The BodyGuardz protectors are touted to be made out of the same material used to protect cars from the scratches and general wear and tear. In comparison to a more common screen protector the BodyGuardz is thicker and made of a softer plastic material. These two factors combine to form a better feeling surface and a higher level of protection. But nothing is ever perfect; the cover forms dimple like creases on the surface of the sheet giving the product an almost cheap appearance. Personally, I couldn’t get a good photo of what I am talking about so I did a little searching around and found a photo by a iPhone 3GS user who also was experiencing the same problem.

Protection and Clarity

On the positive side, the sheet is scratch resistant and, even though it is a clear protector, helps limit the number of finger prints and smudges on your screen. Fortunately enough, the dimples that were mentioned earlier don’t effect the screen clarity and really the only time that you notice the imperfections is when the screen is turned off.

Now, people buy screen protectors to protect their device from scratches but what if your device is already scratched? The BodyGuardz masks it completely. For example, I have a pretty deep scratch in the top right corner of my iPad and after application it is literally undetectable.

Installation

BodyGuardz is one of the only companies to provide an application solution to aid in the, you guessed it, application of their product. Their specific solution is made of water and baby soap to make sure that it not only makes your job easier but at the same time it doesn’t harm your iPad or other device. I have always preferred wet screen protector for the simple reason of being able to re-position the product without having to fully remove the whole sheet. This allows for less of an opportunity for dust and debris to get under your screen protector during installation.

The instructions provided by BodyGuardz, if followed closely, leave no room for error. This is always handy for the more novice users while applying their first or second screen protector as well as those who have a little bit more experience but want to minimize air and dust bubbles.

Summary

Overall, the advanced protection these sheets provide outweigh the slight lines you get after installing the product. Also, the fact that they conceal past damage (term used lightly) only adds to the list of pros. Plus, they come with stickers…

If you would like to pick a BodyGuardz screen protector up for yourself, you can head on over to their website and pick out your device. If you don’t see your device listed, you can also order a custom cut sheet.
