"China-Direct" and
"QC" do not belong in the same sentence...
The one major weakness of the brand of cheap android smartpwn I buy for myself and my wife is a dearth of accessories like molded cases and screen protectors; you tend to have very few choices, and most of those you get are simply variants made by the same one or three manufacturers.
Case in point: this tempered glass screen protector. Bought off Amazon US because not available in Canada, so waited 2 weeks; it is nonetheless a popular, well-rated brand (their protectors for more popular phones haves thousands of positive ratings) with 3-D profile (edges curved like today's screens) and thick, dust-absorbing gel adhesive for a perfect install every time unless you just don't bother to clean the screen using the included install kit.
Except...
the adhesive is on the wrong fucking side. And no, not just on this one, but
all 3 in the package. And as you can see in the 2nd pic, the edges don't completely seal down as a result.
And worse... this is the only brand available right now; I can't even get the brand I put on it when I gave it to her for our Anniversary, which
was made correctly but has done its job, and sacrificed itself to save her screen. So even if I return them (which I may still do with the remainder of the package, because
"Muther-fucking assholes!!!" ), what am I going to put on the damned phone that's any better...?
