Bought this after purchasing clear “case” which illustration was deceptive appearing as a two piece case When applying had difficulty removing some dust specs with enclosed sticky tape — had to remove and redo twice —still some remain—now top has slight gap that will not smooth out completely Other than that looks like it will reduce smudges and wipes clean easily
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the Alpha Glass Screen because I watched the video that showed how “easy” it was to install the screen to my IPhone. The glass screen does not adhere to the screen as easily as the video makes it seem.

I have been buying Defender cases with wife and son for 8 years every year. Now it comes screenless and you have to buy what amounts to is a cheap decal. How is this case water proof now with a screen decal that does not cover the screen? I’m done. Better brand with screen built in out there.

Hey there,
We apologize that this iPhone XR Alpha Glass isn't living up to expectations! While the Defender series never provided any sort of waterproof protection, we completely understand why you might miss the traditional design with the built-in screen protector. We intentionally decided to go screenless with this version in order to provide complete access to the curved device display. Rest assured, the Defender still provides the rugged drop protection that you're used to, and we're confident that this case + Alpha Glass combo should keep your iPhone safe for a long time to come! If you have any further questions, feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always do what they can to help out!
I bought this for mine and my partners new phones. The fitting was made so much easier than other products we’ve had because of the included plastic guide, which ensured that you fitted the protector in exactly the right place. So far it’s been great, no scratches, no finger prints, allows face recognition etc and no loss of clarity of the phone screen. I would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to others.
I’ve put on screen protectors before but this was the easiest to put on & looks great too. my new phone was just out of the box & it made it easy to put the screen protector on it. Almost foolproof I’m very happy with the way it looks.
If you don't line the glass up right it's blurry it doesn't stick then by the end you have no stick'em left.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
