1.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly-machined, surface defects, no front camera cutout., June 29, 2010

This review is from: Fosmon Transparent Clear Screen Protector for iPhone 4 4G HD with Lint Cleaning Cloth – 3 Pack (Electronics)

These screen protectors definitely fall into the ‘you get what you pay for’ category.

Strike 1:

The screen protectors are *not* precisely cut. After several re-applications to ensure I was installing it correctly, there’s still a micro-seam on one side that ‘overhangs’ the screen. Thinking I had a dud, I tried screen protector #2 from the 3-pack, only to find it worse than the first. This overhang creates an inability for the screen protector to properly seal – leaving a vertical stripe of non-seated protector film down the face of the iPhone 4.

Strike 2:

After scuttling #1 & #2 screen protectors, I tried #3. This one fit the best of the bunch, but was still clearly ill-cut. However, it had some surface bloom patterns (not air bubbles beneath the surface, but actual blotches of discoloration) that wouldn’t wipe away – they’re ‘in’ the plastic film. Sigh.

Strike 3:

No cutout for the front-facing camera. While I don’t have any plans of using the FaceTime feature anytime soon, its omission from the design scheme, as well as the poor engineering noted above, makes it abundantly clear that quality control wasn’t a priority (or consideration) in far-flung China.

Save yourself a few clams and skip these, fellow iPhone 4 owners. Wait for the Otterbox cases.

This film is not cut to the size that it need to be. It is the correct size of the iPhone 4 screen but the manufacturer clearly did not test it on the real iPhone 4. The film is maybe 0.5mm too big and the microscopic plastic layer on the edges does not allow for it to touch the glass on the edges. Hard to explain, but it looks great all around, except the round edges where it’s not touching the glass.
To manufacturer:
1. Keep the packaging
2. Keep the same price
3. Remeasure the GLASS surface, not the overall front surface, because that plastic band screw things up for cover.

Then it will be great.

This review is from: Fosmon Transparent Clear Screen Protector for iPhone 4 4G HD with Lint Cleaning Cloth – 3 Pack (Electronics)

I felt compelled to review after seeing so many 1-star reviews for this product.

This thing fits the iPhone 4 perfectly. Maybe some of these other reviewers were applying it on an older model. The quality is definitely higher than that of the generic ones you see for $1-2 shipped from Hong Kong. The second peel off skin is usually the same on both sides of China made LCD protectors (which lifts the freshly applied skin off and allows dust in or bubbles to form) but this one has the very thin film as the second coating which is easy to remove and boasts it’s overall superior material construction.

I have no idea what an earlier reviewer was talking about when he said the surface is uneven.. maybe he got a different order or his was subjected to heat. This is a great deal on amazon. Screen protectors are annoyingly difficult to apply, in general, and justifiably receive low reviews, but bashing this particular product for being low quality is unwarranted. For the extremely low price, the quality is paramount. I got mine on with just one tiny speck of trapped dust, on the second try, and that’s fine for me.

Always remember to buy more than 1 screen protector because it’s hard to do correctly the first (or even second) time!

Phone was not unlocked, January 3, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

When we ordered this phone, it was for my daughter who was moving overseas, we needed one that was unlocked as it is easier and cheaper to use the overseas phone service. The phone was advertised as being unlocked….my daughter had to pay 30 euros to have it unlocked when she got to Europe. I was very disappointed and do not recommend buying anything from this person as they are advertising falsely

This review is from: Apple iPhone 3G 16GB Black Unlocked Without contract (Electronics)

iOS updates stop at 4.1.2 and the SSL isn’t secure nor will it be patched by Apple. That means that any connection made over wifi to a secure website (banks, paypal, email, etc) can be intercepted with a simple tool. Only iPhone 3GS and higher are being patched with this major security hole.

Unpleasant purchase, August 29, 2011

This review is from: Apple iPhone 3G 16GB Black Unlocked Without contract (Electronics)

My purchase has been an upleasant experience from the beginning due to the following reasons:
1. Lack of clarity of the product itself due to misliding information: on the amazon page it was presented as iPhone 3GS and in reality it was iPhone 3G.
2. During initialization the latest release of telephone software from I tunes blocked the phone as not “apple official unlocked iPhone”.
3. As I bring my iPhone to Italy, and return the phone by courrier was diffult I brought the phone for unlocking again to a specialized operator. During the unlocking operation from the serail number it appeared that the iphone was not new but already retured back from the market.
4. After one month of work the screen stopped to work and now it remains dark.
5. I pull back my old phone in operations
