I have a solution for installation so please read through this review... Have patience. A lot of patience. Ordered two for two Christmas fire presents. Here I am Christmas Eve and first one I thought I blew it... A dust spec in the middle and trying to reinstall was not happening, more dust everywhere. So I set it aside. I went much slower and didn't use the guide strips for the second screen protector and just cleaned and inspected to be sure dust free on my second device and made sure it was 100% aligned pressed middle and yes it went well. NOW BACK TO THE FIRST ONE... Taking a page out of adhesive installation of kitchen backsplashes I took a little dish soap and of course water on a paper towel and gently washed the adhesive side and rinsed both sides with very hot water... Be careful when rinsing, it is hot. Do not attempt to dry it with a paper towel... Instead take the "dry" towelette and gently just absorb any remaining water droplets from the adhesive side. Align and start from center and yes, it worked. Wipe the touch side with the microfiber and you have the picture included on this post. Two Fire HDs covered and protected with this protector.
I was dubious - use a glass screen protector? I was sure I'd break it. But it was very easy to apply, fits perfectly, and was reasonably priced. Maybe it's my imagination, but I think the touch screen is more sensitive. When you lay the glass on your screen, touch in the center and you can see it adhere all over. I got a piece of my dog's undercoat stuck under the glass (never should have attempted this with him right next to me) so I had to lift it again. Even that was no problem and when I laid it back down it restuck itself like I had never moved it. I think this is a great product.
I bought this OMOTON All-New Fire HD 8 glass screen protector when I bought my new Fire tablet. I installed it immediately upon unboxing the new Fire HD 8 tablet. While the screen was new and clean, it was easy to prepare it for installation. I followed the instructions and the process went well. I have only one very small complaint. There are little stickers that are designed to be used as hinges for the protector while installing it, and they don't stick well enough to hold it. This is a very, very small complaint. It installed easily. I had one little piece of lint near an edge and was able to pull that edge up and remove the lint and put it back down. When it was done, no bubbles or any other problems. I expect it to provide excellent protection for my Fire tablet screen.
If I have trouble with it going forward, I will adjust my rating accordingly. For now, it's easy to rate this at 5 stars and recommend it.
If you have questions about my review or ongoing experience with this screen protector, please ask in a comment and I will respond. Thank you! My pictures do not do it justice, but it looks excellent!
nice package, great quality, but if you don't nail the placement and get all the dust off the first time, forget about taking it off to try again, due to the adhesive on the glass this is a one shot deal. And there's only one in the pack. I got it on clean and placed correctly, but there was a bubble in the middle that simply won't come out, probably due to the fact that the seal the adhesive creates and the hardness of the glass won't let the bubble out. I might get another and try again because it does feel great. 1/2/18 UPDATE: After I wrote the review above I was contacted by OMOTON reps to thank me for my purchase and to apologize for any problems I had. They offered several links to installation and bubble removal videos. then they asked if they could send me another one free of charge to make it right. I accepted and I had the replacement the next day.
The quality of the product is as advertised - it fits perfect, has a great feel and clarity. My original complaint was due to the difficulty removing bubbles and I could have contributed to this by not taking into consideration that its not an electrostatic screen saver - one that uses static to adhere. it uses adhesive. But the customer service I received was exceptional - they are actively monitoring product comments and taking action to give people a better experience. I appreciate the effort and have modified my review to reflect it. Thanks Beata!
Installation is soooo much easier than flexible film protectors. The written instructions looked complicated until I watched the YouTube video. So simple!
So here’s what I did (probably overkill, but I wanted to get it right the first time):
1. Set up a table in the bathroom, did NOT turn on the bathroom fan, and turned on the shower. Once the water was hot, I let it run for about 5 seconds (someone told me that a little humidity helps to control the dust).
2. Washed my hands.
3. Because I had been using my Kindle for a bit before putting this protector on, I cleaned the glass with eyeglass cleaner from my optometrist, especially around the edges.
4. Followed the YouTube video instructions. Note: The Omoton video didn't use the included dust absorber, but I used it anyway.
5. Voila! Perfect installation - no dust, no bubbles.
I previously installed a tempered glass protector on my smart phone. Immediately after installation, I dropped my phone face down causing a large scratch and several cracks in the screen. Much to my relief, when I lifted up the glass protector, the phone screen was perfectly intact. Phew! Hopefully, I won’t ever have to find out if my new Kindle glass protector performs similarly, but I’m a firm believer that it will if I’m clumsy enough to have another destructive drop.

This is the easiest screen protector I've ever installed. They give you a paper square that's sort of a sticker on the back to grab every last piece of lint that might be on your screen (in addition to giving you wipes to clean it). Why haven't others thought of that ! First screen protector I've installed where I have no lint ! Also, I repositioned it about 3 times before it was on correctly. I used the little tabs/hinges they provided, but found it easier in the end to handle it carefully (balancing it so that my fingertips did not touch it) and make sure it really sat down inside the kindle face and then when I turned loose of it, it was like magic -- it started working the bubbles out itself before I even pressed the center of the kindle. Every last bubble came out. It was important for it to be centered exactly on the face in order for all bubbles to remove. The packaging said it is tempered glass -- I'm sure it is, but it feels more like extremely durable, light/thin plexiglass. I am happy, happy with this item -- worth the price !
I recently got a new Kindle Fire 8 and wanted a screen protector with it. After receiving the Omoton Glass Protector in the mail, I noticed right away that it was very well packed (sturdy and rigid cardboard case-like box and foam liners protect the glass protector inside). The actual glass protector itself feels like a hard plastic.
To me, the instructions seemed really easy to follow; but after going thru the steps carefully I still end up with a bubble (smaller than a penny), around the right top corner quadrant. (I even installed it in our bathroom after running the shower for a few minutes to minimize the dust. I guess a dust particle still crept in there?) I tried "scraping" the bubble outward but couldn't get it out.
I mildly attempted taking the screen protector off, hoping to re-attach it again, but the adhesive sticks on really well. (The instructions did NOT mention anything about re-attaching, but says, "The glass screen protector can be easily installed without bubble and removed without residue.")
I've have it for a few days and I can honestly say that the bubble is a minor nuisance. I play games (i.e., Castle Clash, pinball, etc) and read books on the Kindle and it doesn't affect gameplay or reading at all. (I have not watched any videos yet, so I can't say how the glass protector affects viewing.) You can also use a stylus on the glass protector without any problems. But the glass protector is a fingerprint magnet, but they do provide a small micro fiber cloth (which I use often).
I ordered the Omoton All-New Fire HD 8 (2016 Release) Screen Protector. Upon arrival, I noticed the screen protector was well packaged! I was very impressed as to the construction of the box it came in, as well as all the components and the directions. I followed the instructions exactly. Everything was great. I noticed a small defect, and when I say small I mean the size of a pen dot, at the bottom of the protector. This caused an air bubble about half the size of a dime. I contacted Omoton via Amazon and they were very helpful. Not only did they apologize but went out of their way to send me a new protector free of charge. I had it within another 2 days. The new protector is now on my tablet and is STUNNING! Responsiveness is 100%. You can't even tell I have a screen protector on it.. especially once I put a case on it! You can see fingerprints some, but I'd say is is no worse than what the actual screen looks like with fingerprints. Overall, I would highly recommend.
Overall good product, and to me, easy to install.
The only issue I had with mine was the one corner does not have any adhesive. I contacted customer support to tell them this originally, and they had me remove the screen protector and start again. Thinking I might have dust on the screen. I did not. There is simply no adhesive, it isn't sticky on that corner at all.
Lucky for me, where the screen protector is lifting up, it's on the bezel of the kindle, so it doesn't bother me too much. I'm just hope in a few weeks it does cause issues.
I would recomend to their customer service, not to tell customers to try round 2 with their screen protectors. Far too many ways to make a mistake that time and cause further problems resulting in either braking or somethi by else.
This product is superior in quality to the screen protector that I was previously using and includes a set of items to help ensure it's applied successfully. Even so, I did have two problems which may have been my fault but I thought I'd pass them on. The hinges didn't actually hold the screen protector in place while cleaning the screen beneath or while peeling the backing from the screen protector. They're a nice idea, though.
When the protector is applied to the screen, the adhesive does immediately begin flowing across the screen for a nice smooth attachment. Unfortunately, I followed the directions which said to press firmly in the middle of the screen. This was a mistake as what had been a smoothly adhering screen protector with no bubbles now had a big fat one right where my finger had pressed. I can only hope this vanishes over the next two or three days because none of my attempts to get rid of it have made a dent.
Just wanted to give people a heads up. Buy this but watch those hinges and whatever you do, don't press the protector to the screen if it's already adhering with no problems.
