Edges are sharp and chip easily.
.I'm using this protector with a Spigen case so it fits perfectly. Installation was very easy...The edges of the screen protector are a bit "sharp", you can definitely feel them with your finger. The edges of the home button opening are sharp and the added thickness means you'll notice the sharp edges every time you use the home button. I've also noticed that the edges are getting some tiny scratches along the sides. I carry my phone in my pocket by itself so it's not from keys or change.Next glass protector I purchase will have rounded edges. For the price I guess you shouldn't expect too much....

So far, so good!
I've only had the Flex on my screen for a little while, but so far it already feels and looks better than any cheap plastic one. It's like it's barely there! It doesn't seem any thicker than the InvisibleShieldz or Bodyguardz protectors, but because it's glass, there is none of that horrible orange peel texture. It's as smooth as, well, glass, and the holes for the speaker and home button are very precise-- they are just big enough, with no extra cut out for the camera or sensor, which makes the screen protector look like it's part of the phone. I'm looking forward to seeing how it holds up to everyday use.Installation was easy. I like the idea of using the hinge tape, I don't know why I never thought to do that before. I found the hinge tape stickers made it harder to see how well I was aligning the Flex with the screen, though, so I switched to plain old Scotch tape. It was pretty simple and straightforward. Once it's aligned, stick the tape on one side so it looks like a book cover, peel the plastic off the adhesive side, gently swing the cover back onto the screen, and press. It pretty much installs itself, and there's even a bit of wiggle room to make sure you get it exactly how you like it. Then just peel off the other protective plastic, and you're done!The only complaint I have with the installation is that the microfiber cloth included in the package is terrible. Its job is to clean up lint and dust, and yet wiping the screen with this cloth left more lint behind than what I started with! And of course, some of it got under the screen protector, grr. It would be best if the company did what one of the other glass screen protector manufacturers does, which is include an alcohol wipe in the package. And a better microfiber cloth. (I have noticed that all screen protectors come with crappy linty microfiber cloths, though.)My rating dropped a star just because of the linty cloth, because it was that bad. I recommend you use your own, and maybe follow up with an alcohol wipe.

It's okay
If you want the thinnest glass protector out there, this might be for you. I've now owned 4 different glass protectors and this one is my least favorite despite technically being the thinnest. It does not feel like "glass" even after the recommended break in time they suggest due to the coating. Also, it doesn't seem to actually have an oleophobic coating on it compared to the other protectors I've tested. It might be there, but it smudges easily and the smudges do not remove easily. This is basically the equivalent of a premium plastic film protector, but not a glass one. However, the clarity is very good.

It protects your screen but...
I would give this product more starts, but there's an extremely annoying air bubble around the home button that you CANT get to go away. At first it looked flawless. But over time the funky air bubbles around the home button, along with lots of scratches, make it obvious that you're using a screen protector. Furthermore, it has caused my home button to stick. This makes it hard to get out of apps.

Has potential, but mine arrive chipped
Seems like it would be a great product, but mine arrive chipped and I had a hard time getting approval to return this. iloom wanted me to send pics and jump thru hoops just to get an exchange. I ended up having to file a claim and simply get a full refund. a shame because it was probably just a defective piece, but if a company doesn't stand behind their products, then I have serious reservations.

Good, some tiny flaws
i had this for a long while, and let me tell you it is very hard to break. i have a slim case along with this, and i smashed it on the floor as hard as i can, but nothing happened. It is a bit easier to scratch, tho, i have some hairline scratches from keys and everyday use. The screen feels alot better than plastic, although not nearly as good as a non flex glass protector. This is WAY more smash, shock resistant than solid glass protectors, but easier to scratch. i had stabbed it with a pencil as hard as i can and the screen cracked, but i was happy to see that it didnt touch the phone itself. i recommend this over other glass protectors cuz its thinner and i use the fingerprint sensor on my 5sShock resistance 5/5Scratch resistance 3.7/5feel of screen 4/5

Scratches
Pros: - Easy install (bubble free installation) - I like the surface feelCons: - It is not so scratchproof... Screen protector scratch very easy. - It also seems to collect dust/debris around the edges because of the difference in height.
