The Glass Elite screen protector I bought was a snap to install. I had no trouble installing it thanks to the mounting jig (template) that Zagg includes with the screen protector package.
The mounting jig has the word “TOP” stamped on its top brace, so you know which way to orient it when you’re actually applying the screen protector to your iPad.
In addition to the “TOP” indicator stamped on its top brace, the mounting jig has two sets of guide posts on it; two posts at the top of the jig and two posts at the bottom of the jig.
The screen protector, proper, is mounted on a sheet of fairly stiff plastic which has a short tab that extends from the top and another short tab that extends from the bottom of the sheet, and each tab has two holes in it to line up with the posts on the mounting jig.
Zagg does a very clever thing here with the mounting jig and the backing sheet for the screen protector: At first glance, you see two sets of two holes, two at the top and two at the bottom, the same distance apart. But if you try to load the screen protector into the mounting jig the wrong way (ie, upside down), you discover the holes and the posts they go onto are slightly offset, and are not the same distance apart, so they won’t fit if you don’t have the screen protector properly oriented in the jig. (It only took me two passes of “What the heck?!? Why won’t this go onto the posts?” to figure it out.
So, if you go to install this screen protector even if/when you’re:
1. Too distracted by other things and can’t actually pay enough attention to what you’re trying to do 2. Massively sleep deprived 3. Actually asleep 4. Heavily medicated 5. Just plain drunk
There is *no way* you can put this screen protector on the wrong way.†
I’m absolutely certain that Zagg’s idea to offset the mounting jig posts has prevented more than a few botched installs.
Kudos to Zagg for taking the initiative to go the extra mile to simplify and remove as many ambiguities as possible in the installation process for their screen protectors.

†There is nothing I was able to find anywhere in the Zagg documentation or on their website that says you can’t *ruin* the screen protector if you *try* to install it while in any altered state of consciousness, and I am certainly not saying that it can’t be done. I’m just saying that the clever design that Zagg came up with means you can’t *successfully* install the screen protector *incorrectly*.
Great product! This is amazing product and has really saved my screen from my 9yo’s clumsiness. I especially appreciate their ability to stand behind their warranty! That is why I keep coming back to them regardless of the other companies out there!
I've only been using the Glass Elite Screen Protector for one week, and I can say that it is the best screen protector I've used. Fingerprints and cheek smudges are minimal. It wipes clean easily, and I only have to wipe it down every few days, rather than multiple times a day. The screen is silky smooth. I am so glad I upgraded to the glass.
Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor significantly impaired with this screensaver. No option but to remove the screensaver.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can't get rid of Bubble
on March 26, 2023
Posted by: Scott M.
The guide holder did not fit the iPad well. It was like 1/16 inch too short. I had to lift off the screen to move it just slightly, which created a bubble on the edge of the screen, which will not go away! I am not satisfied with this. I see it all of the time. I am thinking about purchasing another one, but what if the same thing happens!?
