Unlike the other reviews that this product has received, I actually got the right product the first time around. The outline and the hole for the camera and button are correct and practically exact.
Now unlike other films/screen protectors, you will only receive ONE film, so your margin of error is going to be smaller than getting a 2 or 3 pack. Application is not as easy as just setting it on the screen as close to target as possible, but is done using a liquid solution that is provided by skinomi, that you apply to your fingers and to the screen. This allows for less than perfect application with adjustment, but really you should try setting it down as perfectly as possible anyways.
The kicker is of course the fact that once you've positioned it perfectly, you actually have to wait anywhere between 12-24 hrs so that the liquid dries off. That's right, up to 24 hrs without so much as turning on that iPod of yours. Now for the impatient of us, this is some sick waiting period.
Now I picked mine up after 18 hrs, and it looked as if there was never as liquid at all. Surprised, I turned it on, and there wasn't that much of a perceptible difference in how the screen/images looked. The screen felt smooth, and didn't dirty as easily. The best part? I intentionally scratched the screen. nails and light key passes. It appears at least for the key passes, but heals pretty quickly.
Using it for the past 2 days, I don't see anything wrong with it, for those who are hard on their electronics, this is probably worth the price and application procedure, if not a bargain. As to those that want a fast screen protector that can be used right after application, with the harshest thing their screens ever suffer from is your greasy fingers, best to look for another one.This screen protector has no cut-outs and really IS over-sized for the screen, I have some hanging off the edge, was a pain to install since it didn't fit the ipod touch. I'm assuming I was sent a different product, this is hopefully where lifetime replacements come in handy!!
*After emailing skinomi's support they immediately sent a replacement free of charge, The company seems to be aware of the problem.
The quality is really high, I even scratched it with my fingernail and it actually disappeared later on! It is really clear after the wait-period and it is smooth to the touch!*I only gave this four stars in the "ease of application" section because I've yet to find a screen saver that's easy to apply. However...this is easier than most. The spray makes it easy to get the screen saver in the right position because you can slip it around till you get it right. I don't have any bubbles because of this, and no lint particles stuck underneath either.
As for durability, it's great. I got a new iPod Touch mid-December and after only three days the internal speaker blew. I had already applied the screen saver, but decided to pull it off to see if I could reuse it. It looked a little funky and misshapen, but I washed it clean with soap & water. Once I exchanged my broken iPod Touch for a new one I reapplied the screen saver and it worked just fine. I've had it for almost a month now and it's not lifting up the screen looks great. Highly recommend.This screen protector may have a few more steps for installation and require a bit of patience for the curing process, but it is well worth it. The application process was easy enough; just spray your fingers and the protector with the included solution, position on the device, squeegee the excess solution away, and wait a few hours before using. Any microbubbles or orange peel texture diminishes over a few days. The cutout for the home button was slightly too large in diameter, but alignment for it and the front facing camera is spot on. The size of the protector is perfect and shouldn't get in the way of cases for the iPod. I'm using a Sonix Snap case, and replaced the poor screen protector that came wih that case with the Skinomi protector, and I couldnt be any happier with the overall protection (and aesthetics) of my iPod touch.

I received my protector earlier than I expected. I never had a protector before bit this came highly recommended. I'm glad I listened. If you follow the instructions it's a breeze. I would definitely recommend this
