JETech Screen Protector for Amazon Fire 7 (9th / 7th Generation, 2019/2017 Model), Tempered Glass Film

I have used this type of tempered glass protector on many devices in the past. I’ve tried other kinds but this kind is just the easiest to install and has great durability. This time it was no exception. This fits the NEW 2019 model of the Kindle Fire 7″ tablet. I have not tried it with other models. It is a perfect fit. Once you get this on, your fingers and eyes won’t be able to tell the difference. It’s like an invisible shield just keeping your actual glass safe. Sure, it can be scratched. But then when you’ve got a few scratches in it and it’s making things a little hard to read, just swap it out with a new cover and it’s like you got a new tablet. Anyway, the install went SUPERB without a hitch. Read the instructions first and/or watch a video. DO use the little hinge stickers. The one thing you need to be careful of and maybe not do is the dust-sticker is VERY sticky, so it may be wiser if you aren’t seeing anything to pick up just to not use it, it tends to leave a little sticky residue on the screen if you’re too heavy pushing on it (and it’s easy to do). If you need to get dust off just get a piece of scotch tape instead and wrap it stick side out on your index finger.Try to use low-adhesive tape. You don’t need much and if you leave any on the glass then when the glass protector comes down you will get an unwanted bump that will be worse than a tiny spec of dust. After you get it down, use the little cardboard tool to press from the inside toward the edges to drag any air bubbles out to the edge. Easy Peasy.

Wowzers! This protector is awesome!

It shipped in a large box that made me a little nervous that I had ordered the wrong size for my Fire 7 tablet but when I opened the box I understood why the package was bigger than necessary; the box is lined with foam/packing material to protect the screen. How clever! The glass screen was in a plastic sheet and then inside a foam textured pocket sheet. The box was ridged and it was obvious that this thing could survive being thrown around during shipping and still arrive in pristine condition.

The package came with a glass screen, a microfiber cloth, a blue adhesive sheet, a warranty guide, 2 guide stickers, and instructions for install.

Install was super simple and very quick.
I’m not sure what the point of the blue adhesive sheet is. The instructions call it a dust remover sheet but honestly the thing is so sticky that when you use it after wiping down with the microfiber cloth you have to yank the sheet back off and will end up leaving more finger prints on the screen. I tried it a few times and then gave up and just cleaned the screen really well with the microfiber cloth.

I put the guide stickers on the front of the glass, peeled off the clear backing to reveal the sticky side. Holding the guide stickers I lined up the screen where I wanted it and just set the glass down. Within seconds the glass smoothed itself down, pushing out the majority of the air bubbles by itself. It was so fast that I thought I had done something wrong!
I had to press out 1 or 2 small bubbles near the bottom but wow I was impressed. The glass fits the screen perfectly and is aligned so I cant even tell that it is there.

I am also amazed at how flush the glass sits against the screen. I had no problem putting the tablet back in its case with the glass protector on.

I am super impressed with this product and I plan on buying again. In fact, I’m going right now to see if they have this product available for my phone because I must have it!!!!

Pull up a chair, because I’m going to tell you the whole story. (Spoiler alert: it’s a “Oh HELL no, but with a happy ending). I have advice.

I bought two screen protectors at once, one for my Kindle Fire, and one for my mother’s Fire. I had dropped my Fire several times, and counted myself lucky as heck that the screen only had a tiny scratch. I pulled up Amazon and shopped for a case and a screen protector the second I had funds enough to cover the price.

Arrival day, I was excited but worried I would not get the protector centered, or all the bubbles out (thinking of issues with an old phone screen protector, here). But there was a real chance I’d end up without a Fire at all if I didn’t get some protection on it, so I screwed up my courage and determination, and got to work.

The packaging was fantastic. Everything (almost) was inside, and it came in a shrink wrapped “box” that opened like a book. The kit was well protected. Nothing was bent or wrinkled, and it was very organized.

I followed the instructions to the letter. I found an issue with that. Just as I was about to lay the protector on my Fire screen, I saw a speck of dust on the Fire, and I used the dust removal sticker, oh so gently, to pick it up. That’s where I made my mistake. The sticker STUCK onto the Fire screen so that when I lifted it up, there was very sticky residue left on the Fire screen. My alcohol wipe was already dried out and I couldn’t get it off with that.

I ran to the bathroom for more alcohol to re-wet the wipe, and cleaned it off. Meanwhile, dust was falling onto the sticky side of my protector. I tried the dust absorber sticker, but despite my best efforts, the protector looked like absolute crap. I could see the dust under the protector, and it caused little bubbles I couldn’t get out.

I sent feedback through Amazon (they gave me a link in email asking if I was happy with my purchase, and to let the seller know). The seller contacted me quickly, asking for screenshots/pictures of the problem. I tried to send them, but Amazon would not allow me to.

The seller then informed me that they were sending a replacement. I was surprised, and relieved. It arrived many days ago, but I have chronic pain conditions (severe migraines and fibromyalgia) and was out of some of my meds. With the constant rain and outright storms, I have been in so much pain, I just haven’t been up to any tasks. But today I got it done.

I skipped the dust removal sticker this time.

I first cleaned the entire back and side of the Fire where the hinge stickers would go with an alcohol wipe that I myself provided, and then applied the hinges. Then I laid my protector down and carefully centered it, and oh so gently pressed the hinge stickers to the protector. Then I flipped the protector up with the Lift sticker and cleaned my screen with the alcohol wipe provided by the seller.
And then I cleaned it again.
And then I used the cleaning cloth they provided wrapped inside my own eyeglasses cleaning cloth, because I had a very difficult time hanging onto theirs (it’s smaller than one you get at the eye doctor with new glasses). I wiped the Fire screen until not a speck of dust remained, and then I removed the backing from the protector. Just as I was about to lay the protector down, I wiped one more time for good measure.

And then I laid the protector gently onto the Fire. It immediately started adhering. I watched, wondering how far it would get before I needed to swipe up from the bottom of the device, as the instructions said. I never needed to. I removed the Lift sticker and Hinge stickers, and found the tiniest bubble near the bezel, but one swipe with the bubble remover card and it disappeared.

There is no trapped dust. There is zero bubbles. Thanks to the hinge and Lift stickers, it is perfectly centered. IT. IS. PERFECT. It is beautiful!

Mom still hadn’t applied hers, which annoyed me to no end. So today I put her protector on her Fire for her. I see hers has a scratch or two. Hmmmm, if only there had been any way that could have been prevented. 👀

I followed the same steps as I did with my own, and now hers is perfect, too. (Except for the scratches she got, after I gave her the protector but she didn’t put it on. Ugh, don’t dwell, right? Right. Moving on.)

Considering my past history/experience with applying screen protectors, I kind of feel like two protectors applied perfectly… It’s some sort of miracle. The hinge stickers and Lift sticker are key to perfection. Just don’t use the dust remover stickers. They are entirely too sticky for their own good. At least, they are too sticky for a Fire screen. They tried to stick forever and ever, amen.

Shout out to the seller, who actually responded to my unhappy note, and made sure that I left as an extremely satisfied customer. Absolutely 10/10, will buy again when the need arises. I’ll be getting a new phone in the near(ish) future, and I definitely know where I’m getting my screen protector. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊
