I am going to offer my findings. Lexerd has fast shipping but i paid for it. The product came with 2 rubber finger covers (use gloves on both hands) dust accumulates quickly on the screen and protector.
Oil from you fingers accumules quickly too. They are great however exact fit and no loss in sensitivity or color/brightness.
Sorry but no pics available. No skills

well do not try and install this right after work when you are in a hurry...I messed mine up and got mad so I threw it away. use latex gloves when putting it on so you can use all of your fingers.

pros - very fast shipping, looked of nice quality, color/functionality were not affected
cons - expensive for what it is, almost impossible to put in w/o getting air bubbles behind it, requires A LOT of patience and you have to go very very slow. problem is there is so much static cling that it really sucks itself to the screen very easy then you find yourself pulling it back and trying to get the bubbles out and fingerprints off...

honestly I would not buy if I had a chance unless you have 100% more patience with small thngs than me.
