I am really surprised at the amount of negative reviews on this product. It is no different from any other screen protector I have purchased for any of my hand held devices, such as DS, PSP, camera, etc. It is basically the exact same thing, just cut to fit the iPod Touch. It seems to me that the people who are complaining have never applied a screen protector like this before and their problems result from their lack of following the included directions. Follow the directions, and you should have little trouble. A few tips though, wash your hands and your work space. Move any nearby items. Wear short sleeves. Avoid anything that could come into contact with the screen protector because it can and will easily pick up any particles in the area. They can be a pain to apply if not done properly and the worst thing you can do is rush the process. Cleaning everything to ensure a dust-free environment is critical. If you can handle that, you will be very pleased with the quality of these screen protectors.
I have this exact protector on my iPod Touch 3g as does my husband (see verified purchase) and we have had no issues whatsoever. They are highly durable and do very well to protect the screen from scratches. They are also so thin that you don’t even realize they are on the device once in place and they don’t affect the sensitivity at all. They are cut perfectly to match the shape of the iPod Touch face and they aligned perfectly with the home button as well so there is no overlapping. As an added bonus, these screen protectors make your Touch FAR less of a fingerprint magnet. I don’t have to wipe it off obsessively every few minutes now.
I highly recommend these over the “crystal” types that are thick, rigid, have permanent residue, and reduce the sensitivity of the screen. My brother’s Touch has one of these and I can’t stand it. It may be thicker, but it doesn’t seem to offer any more protection. They are easier to apply but the extra cost and the nasty residue and loss of sensitivity are not worth it. I’d never use any other type of screen protector on my devices. These are fantastic when used properly and worth every penny.

I can not comment on this product specifically. My husband ordered it with the one touch. A couple hours later I noticed he did but also noticed it was the wrong thing for what we need. It was too late to cancel so I sent an email to the company requesting they cancel the order, though I really didn’t expect that to happen. They did! So I just wanted to give them points for great customer service.

I had the same issues trying to get this on right, but I don’t think mine was even cut straight. If you move the film over to align the outer edges, the opening for the home button gets skewed and vice versa. The film is also really easy to scratch. I have a 1G Touch with an older film by a previous owner that has less scratches than this one and I just bought after Christmas…and it’s centered! Anyway, this film works as advertised, but it makes the screen look worse because the film gets the slightest of scratches. Good thing I have then, huh?
A trick to putting film on is to use a very small amount of soapy water. It’s the same technique used to put tint on cars. This way you can still slide the film around for a few seconds before the water evaporates and it gives you time to remove the air pockets with the provided squeegee. Let is sit for about 15 minutes to air dry and you’re done.
Just make sure you have a towel near you to dab up the water before it creates a mess and don’t turn on your iPod. Squeegee the water towards the top of the iPod and not the bottom because there are open receptacles at the bottom and I wouldn’t want to chance water getting through the home button. Don’t worry, the glass seals out moisture, just don’t pour water on it and let it sit (hence the towel).

I had to order this product twice, since the first time, the screen protector did to stick down to the ipod when i tried to pull the top protective layer off, which pulled the screen shield off too!
But when i actually got it on, the product looks great as I applied with would any bubbles pretty easily.
The problem comes after you put the screen shield on, as the film scratches very easily, which ruins the look. After just one day of putting it in my pocket, i found a huge scratch across the film, distorting the color a little.
Overall, the screen protector works as it protects the screen of the ipod, but since it scratches pretty easily, its not worth buying.. i ended up taking it off after about 2 months of seeing a scratched up screen shield and replaced it with a Best Skins Ever, which i am enjoying so far.
