I figured for the cost, if it didnt work Id just buy another one haha. The sawtooth on it sounds kinda funky sometimes like its got a ringmod on it so I wasnt too worried about it, but when it fired up a couple days later good as new I went 'Damn Behringer, good job'!

Usually just wait till it dries out and yeah, good chance it will still be fine if no power was on at the time AND no power until it dries out.

Got my package! Took about 9-10 from Ireland to ATL,Ga USA. Not bad at all.

Packaging and extra goodies are great. Nice microfiber cloth too, and the 16 pads logo on the cloth is an additional “nice touch”.

I’ve yet to apply them because AMS wanna play games with my Live 2 Retro so I’m in the midst of waiting on a replacement. And no sense wasting one of these on my other Live 2 cause I’m bout to sell it once the Retro fiasco is squared away. So I’ll report back (again lol) once I smack one of these on there.

But overall, thus far, pretty dope little niche product!

FINALLY got around to installing one of these things!

I noticed they were slightly bowed, maybe from being in the package, I dunno. But they didn’t lay flat so I set them aside and forgot. Remembered and decided today to install one despite the bow.

I actually taped the protector with masking tape hinges at the top, so I could just remove the plastic protector that came on the Live 2, peel the film from the glass protector, and flip it over to apply it, avoiding dust in the process since it’s a fast 1/2/3 action. Worked like a champ. Except! That bow i mentioned? It resulted in some super annoying, hard as hell to remove, air bubbles! I worked out about 3-4 larger bubbles with the included cloth, a credit card, and a TON of pressure, (like a scary amount) alas these two smaller bubbles were intent on going no where!

Eventually I got them out and the protector seems to have fully flatted out. No bubbles! Thank Gawd! :lol:

Overall these are really dope! I see a TON of ppl with the screen protector that came on their MPC, little tab sticking out LOL. I don’t blame them, I did the same. But yo! You really don’t realize just how much that thing is dumbing down the responsiveness of the screen til you peel it off and have either nothing or one of these on there instead! SO much more responsive now!

So I say go for it! Go cop you a couple and get rid of that plastic layer that ships wit the device!

I would be ecstatic if I only had 2 air bubbles when I installed the screen protector.

I got mine super quick from Ireland all the way to the US, in less than a week. Still got my original one on too, still looks great, no bubbles, no warping, just a nice clean cover after all this time.

Just to chime in on what Triple-X said, the screen definitely gets 'snappier' without the little plastic wrapper that comes on it. The glass protector didn't slow it down at all.

I have for you a good news. Finally proper screens protector appeared on a market. Is not a foil one that you can find online.That one is made of Nano Glass 9H hardness. If you still have foil on your screen that your MPC was shipped with. Now there is solution to get rid of it and have it replaced with proper stuff.
