One of the "good" screen protectors Apr 19, 2009
By Seen
This is a Hori screen protector, branded under the Nintendo DSi name/packaging. Many consider Hori to be the best, I find it tied with Martin-Fields Overlay in the screen protector department category.
I bought a Nintendo branded third-party screen protector in their "clean and protect" kit, and it was AWFUL--very difficult to apply, and not as effective. Other third-party screen protectors have left a film/residue, that is why I say brand matters. My experience with the Hori/Nintendo co-branded product was smooth and easy and it's been quite effective on my DS Lite and DSi.
A good tip for the application process is to have a credit card or something similar handy, and press gently down and forward simultaneously as you peel it off, because if you don't "smooth it out" you will end up with air bubbles, or particles of dust which create visual imperfections.
The reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is, while this does provide excellent screen protection, the glare reduction advertised seems minimal. I use screen protectors on just about everything electronic and portable that I have (iPod, phone, DS, DSi, GBA, etc.) and I find the glare reduction noticeable, but relatively minor. The real reason, I think, to buy this is to avoid scratches and other blemishes, which this does fantastically.
I'm not sure if the "new" DSi screen is scratch-blemish resistant, but in my experience when it comes to portable electronic devices, just about everything will develop scratches and blemishes, under normal use, if not protected. The iPhone/iPod touch is the one exception I have found to this rule, other than that, I would say, if you want to keep it "like new" it's a relatively inexpensive investment.

 application instructions Aug 24, 2009
By Mamoon Baig
you'll need:
-q-tip
-small damp paper towel
-small dry paper towel
-and possibly a compressed air can
i applied a few minutes ago with good results, no air bubbles, and only about one or two dust stuck dust particles. the first thing you want to do is wipe the screen down with the damp paper towl, and dry it up with dry paper towel, make sure to get into the corners with the q-tip. do this a second time, the given lint free cloth only made things worse for me. do one screen at a time, because dust starts settling immediately.
now for the application. Remember, both stickers are DIFFERENT SIZES. one is for the top screen, and one is for the bottom scree, make sure you differentiate before you peel off the first tab. the stickers are SLIGHTLY smaller than the screen, but it didn't keep me from touching the corners of my touch screen with my stylus, i could color the corners in the flip book app. I slowly and carefully put the protector down starting from the opposite corner of the PEEL OFF sticker. I curved the protector down to keep bubbles from growing. i slowly pasted it down until it was perfectly centered. REMEMBER, once the protector under the sticker is down and clear, IT CAN'T BE REMOVED. i was able to reapply it a few times because i made sure the protector wasn't completely applied. i did the same thing for the top screen, with no bubbles and a few dust particles
i didn't know the protectors were different sizes, so i ended up peeling one off, but for the wrong screen... which is why i have a few dust particles stuck, otherwise, it would have been perfect.

The best DSi Screen Protectors. Period. Jul 10, 2009
By Joseph R. Tunks
Hori is known for making the best screen protectors for Nintendo products. They're even officially licensed by Nintendo. I've owned Hori's screen protectors for the DS Lite and now for the DSi, and they're absolutely perfect.
I purchased these from Amazon after being horribly disappointed by the screen protectors bundled with Nintendo's "Clean & Protect" kit. Hori's, however, proved to be a great experience. They were easy to put on, don't affect the sensitivity of my touch screen, don't distort picture on either screens, and apparently reduce glare (though I haven't really tested this out.) I was even able to put these on with no air bubbles, though I'm not sure if that's due to the product or just my patience.
To put it simply, if you're looking for screen protectors, get these. They are, without question, the best.

 Tips for Installing Aug 29, 2009
By Arnim Zola
I've installed protective filters for my PSP and iPod's. The process to affix this is the same as your standard protective filter set for an iPod. This set from Hori has good overall quality but lacks in 3 areas:
- No plastic card is included. You'll need to use a credit card to help you slowly push down the filter and roll out air bubbles. The use of a credit card was not mentioned in the instructions.
- "Cleaning" Cloth isn't great. It looks like it's some sort of packing material and not real cloth. If you have a cleaning cloth for your camera, use that instead. I should have done that. After using the included "cleaning" cloth for several minutes, I still ended up with 3 dust particles after I applied the screen filter, which meant 3 non-removable air bubbles. These air bubbles are visible when the DSI is on (especially on white backgrounds).
- Instructions can be confusing. The 2 filters for the top and bottom screens for the DSI are different. But the backing tape on the filters do not identify them. Be careful that you apply the correct filter to the correct screen.
NOTES
-----
* Included are screen filters for the top and bottom screens, a "cleaning" cloth, and instructions
* I wouldn't recommend letting kids under 10 install this themselves. You need a steady hand and patience. While it's possible to remove the filter after a failed attempt, I wouldn't recommend it. If you have any dust particles get on the filter, they are pretty much not removable and you'll need to live with it or buy another filter.

Read the directions twice carefully. Jun 19, 2009
By M. Leclaire
"Conrad"
These screen protectors are very good and, when applied properly, aren't noticeable at all. However, they are a pain to put on your DSi. They're worth it; but they're still a pain. That's why I gave them 4 Stars. Now for some real directions to help you once your screen protectors have arrived:
Hopefully you'll read this and the actual directions before you try applying your screen protectors. The screen protectors are not labeled in any meaningful way, so you absolutely have to read the directions. Once you've sorted out which screen goes where, the real fun begins. Make sure you are in the least dusty place you can access legally. If you happen to own a sanitized room and are a surgeon, you should have no problem applying your new Hori screen protectors. The rest of us are going to need a little luck and perhaps a stiff drink.
First, make sure your DSi screens are as clean as they can possibly be. No dust, no hairs, no oils. Then, follow the directions and remove the back panel of the corresponding screen protector for whichever screen you dare to tackle first. Line up the screen protector and begin smoothing it onto the screen with your fingers or a credit card. NOTE: Do not let the screen protector fully adhere until you have checked every inch for air bubbles and debris. I also recommend turning your DSi on and off with the screen protector mostly adhered. Air bubbles are easier to see with the DSi off and dust can be easier to spot with the DSi on. Once you have made sure that everything looks good, keep rubbing your finger or credit card or whatever along as you drop the last corner into place. Congratulations! Move on to the other screen protector and you're done, oh nimble-fingered consumer.
If, however, you are like me and you messed up and got some crap on the silicon/adhesive side of your screen protector, get ready for a whole heaping load of fun. If you happen to be a neurosurgeon, this part will be easy. Also, congratulations on being a neurosurgeon. Begin by removing the screen protector. If you can do this while leaving the top plastic sheet on, that will save you a little bit of frustration in the long run. If you already peeled off the top sheet, apply some invisible tape to the top of the screen, press it on until it's as smooth as possible, and then wait for it to adhere properly. After the longest 30 seconds of your life, pull up evenly on the tape so the screen comes up with it. If you can't do it with one piece of small tape, try a bigger piece or several pieces. Now, DO NOT, I repeat, do not ever touch the adhesive side of the screen protector if you can help it. Shirts, cloths, paper towels, your fingers, and even the cloth that comes with the screen protectors will leave unimaginable amounts of lint and tiny, irritating, fibers all over them. Instead, get yourself some invisible tape and, while holding the screen protector at the edges, dab at the entire surface to clean it. Once you think you've gotten everything (you haven't), go ahead and, while still holding onto the edges, start reapplying the screen protector. Again, make sure all air bubbles and debris is cleared out as you smoothly put them together. If you see an air bubble, peel back and start again. If there's something on the screen or the protector still, make your most dexterous child/neighbor/friend/lover get some tape and remove whatever's there so you don't have to try holding the screen protector in place and removing any stuff that's stuck to it. Repeat this process until you feel you can fully adhere the protector to the screen. Did you get the screen protector on cleanly? I'm sure you didn't, so stop boasting. You'll have to decide how many times you want to go through that process before you explode or accept whatever outcome you get; and then, once you've decided on a number, go for it all over again. Good Luck!
