Tips for applying screen protector

---

just got my screen protector, but failed to get it in without a bunch of hairs or bubbles underneath. what tips do you guys have for getting it on there without fail? Can I rinse it and hang it dry then try again? Or should I just buy a new one? pics/videos welcome

1. Wash your hands with soap
2. Turn off fan/AC
3. Use handheld water sprinkler(for plants) to sprinkle water in the area you are going to use for putting on the protector
4. Have some cello tape on the side to get rid of hair dust etc. from the edges underneath the protector

even better than that go to your local Tmobile store and they will put it on. My wife and I both have SGS2 phones and you can't really tell the screen protectors are on. The employees burned through a pack because they screwed up the first attempt on both phones. :) The price was 14.95 (pack of 2) but just the fact they put it on for you is enough.

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to hit thanks. I haven't tried the first method yet because I've been busy.

this is what i do,
apply the screen protetor after you take a hot shower or turn on hot water while applying the screen protector (steam will get rid of most of the dust). Use a credit card to smooth out all the air bubbles. Don't worry about the dust too much. After you got all the bubbles out then use
cello tape on the side to get rid of hair dust etc. from the edges underneath the protector.
make sure the area is free of dirt. Just blow off the dirt first before applying the screen protector

I use this method!! it works everytime

I will try this next time. I'm a perfectionist and I just kept removing it and therefore more and more dust. The last time the store rep did a good job, plus if they,mess up they can burn through more sp.

in matter of fact i just had them do mine this morning and he was a perfectionist and he did a great job!

Use air duster to get everything off of the screen. Once the screen is completely clean without any dust peel the plastic from the screen protector revealing the adhesive. Line up the screen protector at the top of the phone, use a credit card covered with a cloth and slide down from the top of the screen potector to the bottom. Should be perfect without any bubbles

Do yourself a favor and get a phantomskin "wet" install screen protector. I've been using them on all my phones and get the zagg protection without orangepeel.just follow the instructions on soapy water and lay it on the phone straight. Best screen protectors IMHO plus it's buy one get one free. They are $10 but use "fall30" code for 30% off. $6.95 shipped to your door. Ill post pics when mines come in this week.
