I really want to pick one of these up since I have heard such good things about them. However, I am curious about how you prevent the liquid from getting into the ear piece when applying the protector. Is there a trick to covering the ear piece?

just man up, don't use toooooo much solution and pat dry...
make sure you take out the battery and DON"T put it back in after as the phone will reboot.


just install and wait over night with cool air blowing over it.

i know it will be tough not to touch your new toy, but without US warranty work, not worth it.

The solution they have dries really quickly, they added some substance it in, so even if the tiniest bit gets in there, you shouldn't worry too much, unless you spill the whole bottle in there lol :p

EDIT: this is speaking from the person who DRENCHED the screen protector before applying lol

I got one ordered this weekend hopefully arriving soon.

How difficult was the application? I'm not too keen on wet application (Zagg, ugh) but is it pretty much drench, lay it on the screen and shift to center ASAP? Past experience with Zaggs, I've usually had to lay it perfectly on the first try since I wouldn't be able to shift it around afterwards.

I'm assuming all wet applications should be the same, which means that your experience with zagg will be similar with xo.

You wouldn't be able to shift it around after its applied. However, you can peel it upwards, apply some more liquid, then place it back down :)
Did that with my skinomi, had no problem with it, should work with all wet screen protectors :)

It goes very close to the edge of the screen.

No orange peel
No rainbow effect

As I said before... highly recommended

So I've never done a wet install. Basically I get as much of the liquid out as possible and then wait overnight for it to settle?

I don't think people realize that, sure even though your device isn't damaged from the liquid solution that may or may have leaked into the phone. BUT it probably set off the water damage sticker inside voiding your warranty.

That's the biggest fear for most people including myself.

The water stickers are on the back.

    i found out a trick to get the least amount of orange peel :

    0 - REMOVE THE BATTERY

    1 - apply the solution to the screen protector

    2 - SLIDE it into position

    3 - don't squeegee the solution just let it dry

    4 - 12 hours and you are good to go

    with this method it is very easy , fast , least amount of orange peel and dust

    Yep spots are still there next morning...I was super careful when I applied this and still got something under the screen. I guess I'll just get Ghost Armor.

    what you should have done is taken a shower in a room and attempt putting the protector on after the shower because the humidity settles the dust.

    you can try ghost armor, but you'll get the same results.
