Summary: Apparently there's two versions out on the market.

Apparently there is more than one version of this product out on shelves--one with and one without glare protection. Whether or not one is an upgrade to the other, I'm not sure. The only way you can tell what you're buying is by looking at the features list in the back of the package, and seeing whether glare protection is listed or not.

I first bought the one without glare protection at Best Buy a few weeks back. I messed up on the application process, so I got a bit of dust stuck inbetween the screen and the film. Nothing big enough to hinder gameplay, but I told myself I'd pick up another one in the future to put on correctly. I had no problem with air bubbles, and the screen looked as clear with the film as without it. I was impressed with the product, really.

Fast-forward to today, when I pick up another screen guard at Best Buy... And the first thing I find is that instead of a clear film, I have one with a dull, hazy finish. No big deal, I guess. So I apply it on, and... ugh, what garbage. When I turn on the system, there's suddenly a rainbow-colored mesh pattern covering the screen, and everything looks squarish and pixellated. I applied a little pressure to see if I could iron the mesh pattern out, and even tried reapplying the film, to no avail. No more than a minute after, the thing was in the garbage.

Rating for the Pelican product with glare protection: 0/100. The one without glare protection: 90/100. If you can't find the latter in stores, I recommend picking up a Martin Fields screen protector, which is thicker and clearer than the good Pelican one.
