I have been using Tech 21 Screen protectors for many years over 4 different phones and used to find their fitting kits high quality and easy to use for a perfect application. This is no longer the case and I urge you to think carefully before spending £34.99 on the NEW FlexGlass ultra apple screen protector. Tech 21 have done away with the guide rails they used to supply and replaced it with a folding cardboard hinge design which is fiddly and very inaccurate to use. Despite several practice or dry runs when I used the kit the screen protector dropped on the phone out of alignment and is very crooked leaving an edge of the screen exposed. I can't see any way of guaranteeing a straight application with the cardboard kit and Im sure other users are going to experience the same problems trying to use theirs.As a customer of nearly 10 years I wrote to Tech 21 support to hi light the problems with the new case and ask for some support or a replacement. After a 2 week wait I got and very neutral response from them that did not acknowledge the problem (Cardboard hinge) I was hi lighting to them and refused to offer me any sort of replacement or resolution. That's not the sort of response I would have expected from a company that trades on its reputation for supplying quality, high priced items. If you pay top dollar you would normally expect and more engaging response to customer feedback that hi lights a design fault in one of their new products. So in summary as a formerly loyal customer of 10 years I have lost faith in the company as they have let me down in two ways.1 - The new floppy cardboard hinge on the fitting kit makes a precise fit very unlikely. You will end up with a crooked screen protector.2 - When I hi lighted the issues / challenges of the new design to them by email they appear to have taken no notice and not acknowledged any of the points I raised, nor did they offer me any type of advice or solutions. This is not very customer focussed and shows a lack of ability to respond to genuine feedback. To show their lack of response or even understanding of the points I raised I have copied their generic response below.
