Why do You Need the Navagation Screen Protector?
Prevent the Fingerprint Smudge the Screen.
Protect your screen from Scratch,Explosion and Debris.
Defend your screen from oil or other dirty things,Reduce your eye's fatigue.
When you drive with your lovely girl/boy,you can see her/his face from it.

I agree its overkill and I bet you will get a lot or just some extra glare, I hate to use any screen protectors on my Xs, and would use apple care+ if needed, with BMW everything would be covered 50/4 unless you are an Edward Scissorhands

I tried this one on my G05 and the glare was distracting so I removed it after a month. I would like to get another one with some anti-glare.

I'd worry that the touch screen won't work if and when you decide to remove it. This happened to my iPhone so I'm anti screen protectors after that.

ssadri, please keep us updated as you use your screen with the protector in place.

They changed the price on the tempered glass one on their website. Probably due to a bunch of orders today. Click the original link. That was $12.99 earlier today.

Yep - looks like they increased the price to match amazon. I got the tempered glass versions for $12.99. Wonder if they will honor that.

I just double checked, Lump, and it’s not 12.99 anymore but it definitely said it was not the tempered glass earlier and the thirty dollar one on Amazon said it was....what are you seeing that says otherwise?

If they send me a piece of film, I'll be asking for a refund but I doubt I'll ever get it.

My receipt says:

2019 BMW X5 12.3-Inch Navigation Screen Tempered Glass

1 $12.99
Subtotal: $12.99
Payment Method: Paypal
TOTAL: $12.99
Logistics type EXPRESS

Make sure you PF that screen with Xpel and possibly a ceramic coating too. You can't be too careful.

I do most of the time. Lately I'm sure that hasn't seemed to be the case, then again stress from outside things + car delays weren't helping.

Thanks I'm hoping the money I've spent post sale is worth it in the end. I plan to keep my X5 for 3 years and wanted to prepare it for the long haul so to speak. You might be surprised to hear how I'm usually very sarcastic

I should call the shop with my X5 and jokingly ask them to wrap + ceramic coat the inside
