Remember when the iPhone 4 came out and I was all whiney because my iPhone 3gs was really unhappy and I wasn’t eligible for a new phone until next year? Yea. I remember it too. I’m still not eligible and I still have my iPhone 3gs. I’m babying it like crazy though and so far – so good.
While I was in the depths of misery over my poor sad iPhone, I was offered a free wrapsol ultra for my iPhone and I thought – what the heck. I really need a new case and I really need to take care of this iPhone because I could not afford to buy a new phone before I was eligible. (See even way back then I knew TW was going to quit her job and I knew we’d be even more broke.) TW has used several different types of screen protectors and I’ve never liked any of the ones she tried. The one with the mirror… oy, that thing blinded me while I was driving, every time she played with her phone in the car! The wrpasol says it’s so strong that it even helps prevent drop damage. Huh. I could have used that with my first iPhone…
So I got the wrapsol. I read the directions. I slipped it on. It went on pretty smoothly, more smoothly than the other ones TW had tried seemed to go on. It comes with a nifty little squeegee thingy to help you errr squeegee it on. I had a couple of bubbles but the instructions indicate bubbles will disappear in a day or so.
Sure enough, the bubble that was really bugging me was right above the Home button disappeared the next day. However, there was a tiny little bubble way at the top right corner. It wasn’t even really touching more than the battery icon – but it bugged me. And I could not make it go away. While I was sitting in an airport, trying to stay awake to board my flight, I thought I’d just peel it up a bit and replace the film. Hahahaha. I touched it and then there were fingerprints in that top right corner of the screen. #USERERROR!
I spent the next 24 hours cursing myself and those fingerprints and finally lifted the film off and tossed it out. That will teach me to NOT follow directions and to think I can “just fix it”. Sheesh.
One other thing I should mention – I’ve had an iPhone since 2007 and I’ve never used a screen film cover thingy. It was very hard for me to get used to how the iPhone feels with the film covering it. Right about the time I got used to it – that’s when I screwed up and got fingerprints on the film.
I’ll know better when I put another wrapsol on my iPhone. Won’t I?
