Performance

As far as performance goes, I was tempted to recommend the product even before testing it simply because it existed. Neither my local T-Mobile nor my local Sprint store carried Nexus 4 screen protectors, which was odd, especially for T-Mobile since they carried the phone. Now, there are a range of solutions online, but many of them are rather expensive, starting at around $30 and ranging down to $15 or so. The other issue is that I have never heard of any of these companies, and granted I had never heard of Seidio until I saw some of the reviews on LanOC and reviewed one of their products myself. It’s tough to jump into a purchase with a company you’ve never heard of, and let’s be honest, Amazon reviews aren’t the best of quality. After all, they don’t have a Fildy.

Something I touched on earlier that sort of reflects on the performance is the installation. The fact that it is a static cling product is a tremendous plus. I failed at using their simple installation process and had to reapply the screen protector. With other products that use a glue adhesive, I would have likely been out the cost of the protector, but with the Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard I had no worries since I could try again.

Once it was installed, the screen felt incredibly smooth. So smooth in fact that it felt identical to the glass beneath it. Before using this screen protector I was using the cheap one that shipped with it and I had no complaints, but after using this product, I honestly don’t know if I could go back to the other one. The Ultimate Screen Guard is so smooth that you can’t even really feel it, with my other screen guard I could definitely feel some friction, but didn’t notice it until I started using this one.

One last thing that I want to mention is the design of the screen protector as a whole. The protector is just the perfect size. The sides of the Nexus 4 kind of curve down a bit, so a screen protector any bigger would have some issues staying on. There is also a bit cut out on the corner for the front facing sensor. I haven’t experienced it myself, but have been told that on other screen protectors, that if that sensor is covered, even though it is clear it causes issues with the phone. The final thing I want to note is the section cut out for the front facing camera, which is an expected touch, but also very welcome.
