I bought my first Photodon screen protector for my display in the summer and found it blistered in the heat. Photodon replaced it for free and today, with the temperature being -5 Celsius the second screen lifted into massive blisters! Do not waste your money on this product.

UPDATE:I contacted Photodon and they replied as follows - "
"This is a frustrating situation for you. We do not have MXT or MXF on our website for this product any more because others have given us similar feedback." They informed me they only offer MXH; offering me that screen product for free or a full refund. I accepted the refund.

Just curious. What are you protecting your display from? Do you have kids that throw things in the car? Or pets that could scratch the display?

A number of owners found their fingers scratching the display screen.
I have noticed a few scratches on mine as well...just from everyday normal use.

Could very well be. From my perspective it's twice disappointed - enough is enough.

Hmm your not using water or anything to apply it right, and no bubbles in the first place? I live in texas where the weather can go up to 105 degrees my cars always parked outside, its been fine in the heat.

I have zero problems w mine. I'd completely disregard the OPs post. If I had to complain about the photodon screen protector it would be they need to shave a mm off the top of their template. It's too arched so you can't get a perfect application by starting at the upper left corner

It sure as heck doesn't bubble in 100 degree summer heat or freezing weather. OP didn't follow the instructions imo.

Plus, all he has to do is call them, be polite, express his dissatisfaction and they'll give him a replacement for free.

Why don't you try this OP?

It's too bad the OP has had issues with the screen protector. I'm in Texas and I've had triple digit heat and have had zero issues with photodon. We're getting ready to get pretty cold (haha) soon so I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if any blistering or bubbling will occur on the protector.

No water or anything else was used, and no bubbles. Maybe the Photodon product is allergic to me!

Yes. With both screens I meticulously followed the instructions when applying the screen. This latest screen posed no problems until the cold weather - then massive bubbles appeared.

I don't know about you but when a product fails me twice, I decide not to use it a third time. After my first Photodon bubbled I contacted the company and they quickly replaced the screen protector free of charge.
