I purchased the Optic + Antiglare - installed it perfectly (only 2 tiny bubbles), but the blur it created seemed worse to me than the glare on the bare screen. The screen protector is now in the trash.

Very sorry to hear! I guess that answers my question... and I had just emailed and asked them if they updated the product to resolve this issue. :confused:

This will sound like I'm on their payroll, I'm not, but do go back to the pics I posted in post #1 and read my comments at posts 21 and 59. I recommended the Clear Diamond product at post 21 after trialling all three material types. Clear Diamond is the product in my post 1 pics. No blurring and reduced reflection/glare.
There are posts in this thread where folks have had positive and negative experiences with the optic + product. It's hard to know.

George is the rep at ScreenShield group. He tells me he has sold a lot of product for the Grenadier. You should contact ScreenShield group if you're not happy with your purchase. Send some pics of the issues you're having. George can't fix what he doesn't know about.

I went with @Clark Kent suggestion and haven't had any problem since installing it in January.

@Clark Kent @Tazzieman - is the Clear Diamond like a phone screen protector? Like really, really clear?

Well of course it's subjective, but for comparison here's two pics.

The first is the optic + when I did the material trial with Screenshield group in September 2023. Quite opaque and I gave them feedback that it wasn't really useable.
The 2nd pic is my screen today, complete with dust flecks and dead bugs. That's the finished size Clear Diamond product after it's been installed for 7 months.
I know the pics are not the same and there is some phone camera focal length blurring on the left side of the Clear Diamond pic , but this should give you an idea of the different product.

It's a fairly low res LCD infotainment screen so getting close up pics to demonstrate the screen protector just highlights that the screen isn't sharp to begin with. Unlike your phone, you're typically looking at the screen from at least 2 feet away so you don't really notice it.

Hope this helps 🤷‍♂️

I ordered a screen at Aliexpress some months ago. It works well and protects the screen against scratches as well.
I guess it is no rocket science and probably all of those products come from China anyway.
It's amazing how fast some Chinese businesses have been to get knock-off products to market. There's a few China based sellers on EBay Australia selling copies of just about every good product idea that has come out of this forum, including products made by small aftermarket businesses that stepped up to support the Grenadier early. Underseat bags, door pocket organisers, phone holders, Lambda decals, dash trays, antenna mounts, screen protectors, etc. Not typically China cheap prices though.
Same on Amazon.

I found ScreenShield service fantastic also. Wrote to say that my current product very disappointing. Said after six months I had removed. I wasn’t looking for money back as I was happy they were at least trying to find a fix. They insisted on sending the glass version. Arrives anytime.

Further to my post of above.

The replacement product sent to me by SCREENSHIELD, is their 'Clear Diamond Anti-Glare'. They kindly sent me two screens, the first of which I have fitted today. In my haste to apply the product I have still been left with a few tiny bubbles which can only be seen when the screen is switched off. The weather here in UK has been on the cloudy side and so I can not as yet comment fully on the improvement over the original version.
My first impression on fitting the Clear Diamond Anti-Glare product would be that this screen has not impacted the screen clarity as much as the previous version did. I will update over the next few days. In the meantime I can say that George at SCREENSHIELD has been the consummate customer relations expert. I can not fault the service provided including their willingness to send the product to the UK postage free. I was not asking for a refund or replacement, merely providing feedback.
