Thanks for this great thread! I gave this a go and had a near perfect installation, I didn't not even use a hairdryer to get around the edges, just the room temperature, it is really good compared to the ag matte film i had before, crystal clear!
The only problem is that it took me 5 attempts to get a perfect lint/dust free and proper alignment, glad the films came in pack of 7 lmao, i still have 2 spares. Just ordered another 14.
Here're some tips:
If you ever get lints/dust underneath the film you're probably screwed. Although professional installer would get the dust out with scotch tape and so, I only found more and more dust gets trapped inside when I attempt to remove them.
So since the film comes in pack of 7, don't waste your time removing the dust. Just take out the film, trash it, take a new one and give it another try. When you remove the previous film, it should take of the dust as well, but check properly before you put another on it, clean the screen if needed.
Once you have a DUST-FREE and PROPER alignment, don't mind the bubbles if there is nothing trapped in it. Wrap your hard card with a soft clothe and then with reasonable pressure, slowly squeeze the bubbles out. Trust me, it will work, I did this to all the bubbles trapped in the near edge curves, all is good!
P.S.: I bought my films from the ebay link in the first post, it is really good!

I removed my screen protector after remembering that the sensation's screen is a gorilla glass.
Dunno why we are are using screen protectors when its a gorilla glass. I understand if its like a fingerprint resistant but if its a clear gloss I duuno why.
I actually drop my phone on the pavement screen down, it didnt even scratched the screen but the metal frame got marked and a dent :\

Gorrila screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof!
My friend had a good scratch on his sensation XE screen for trusting gorilla screen and not having a screen protector. It is very visible and I wouldn't ever want one on mine.
