My fingers also seem to almost stick to the screen sometimes, and it seems like it gets dirty extremely easily, but these are minor issues.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the back screen protector does not play well at all with the case. It leaves a horrible wet look, and is very unattractive. I ordered a dbrand skin though, so hopefully that fixes the problem.

I just put my poetic bumper back on after letting it dry overnight and it was doing the same thing with the edges near the power button (mostly) and a little on the back . Bubbles around the edges. I'm wondering if since these are supposedly full body protectors that is why they cover all the way to the edge (assuming you won't be using a case?I haven't noticed the orange peel effect yet either and it has been on for about 8-9 hours now. But overall for $5 (for 2 front and 2 back protectors) it isn't a bad screen protector. This was also my first time using a wet application screen protector and I was a little concerned about that but it wasn't difficult.

Xtreme Guard Screen Protector is even cheaper now. Use coupon 75off and get full body protection just for $2.5 including shipping. I just ordered two of them.

Well Xtremeguard gave me the option of a refund or replacement. I decided to go with a replacement since the screen savers seem like they are okay for the price I paid.

I happened to be at the mall today and stopped my the ghost armor kiosk and thought about getting the ghost armor protector but decided not since I had just installed the Xtremeguard protector last night. Watching the guys at the ghost armor kiosk install the screen protectors was interesting though (they made it look very easy). They spray (mist)the soapy solution on the phone, the protector and a rubber squeegee. Then quickly apply the screen protector while both the screen and protector are wet with the soapy solution. After it is aligned on the screen they use the squeegee to get the air bubbles out and sit it in the dryer they have at the kiosk. The next time I apply a wet application protector I'm going to give this method a try because I think the installation of these protectors is the key to how they look (no bubbles, no orange peel etc.) on your device. I know they install hundreds in a week but it really didn't seem difficult watching them do it. No dipping your hands in the water or anything like that.

After having the Xtremeguard Protector on for a few days I have some observations:

- it does feel a little rubbery
- not as smooth to touch as the factory screen protector or screen itself
- not as easy to keep clean with microfiber and water as the factory screen protector and/or screen (I've found using a spray bottle with a mixture of soap and water helps clean it much better)
- the screen protector seems to bubble along the edge near the power button every now and then (I'm using a poetic bumper). I just use a squeegee or my hand to remove the bubble
- haven't noticed the orange peel affect (if it's there it's very minimal because I can't notice it and I'm really looking for it)
