There's almost some mathematical formula of randomness with these. Buy three, all three go on badly and are wasted. Buy another three and the same can happen. There's no learning curve that really climbs - the variables are so great - dust, wrong placement, bubbles, hairs - that each attempt is individual. And yet you can get lucky and fit one perfectly.
What I hate about screen protectors...
- Thread starter al89nut
- Start date
I find the wet apply screen protectors go on just fine if you take your time. Just make sure the screen is clean, wet it and position it. You can slide them around on the screen to get it positioned and squeegee. I've never had a problem. The little air bubbles left when your done work themselves out.
So true, there is no pro when it comes to applying these protection films

I agree with MegaNoob. I find the wet screen protectors incredibly easy to install in comparison to dry. Before I used them I hated screen protectors because they always looked like crap but now I'm using them on both my tablet and my phone and you would hardly know they are there.

A bit off topic but gonna post it anyways:
You wouldn't happen to know a good wet protector I can find from European reseller? (Nothing too fancy, but not the cheapest either)
Well i cant help with European sellers but i got the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield from Amazon for $16 and it looks great. they have an installation video so you can see how its applied. Dont get zag invisible sheild they look horrible Any device ive ever seen it on has this orange peel texture to it.
Agreed with this, I got a Zagg invisible shield for my Note and it looked awful. Removed it after a day. Went on nicely though.
ArmorSuit is where it is at for the TF300T. Unfortunately for me, I got some small dust particles that got caught up when I was putting it on, but didn't notice it until after it dried. I'm starting to wonder if I'm better off just taking the protector off.
Hard to find European seller for ArmorSuit MilitaryShield for TF300T alright.
Anyone know there if there's a difference in placement of things like front camera and brightness sensor between the Pad and the Prime?
Think the screen dimensions are the same anyways.
Could just get a Prime one instead then.

there are certain tricks to do a good screen protector job (most i do, work out fine)
-(optional) for the dust: have hot shower run in your bathroom for a while, untill its damp there (it takes away the dust)
-clean the screen thoroughly
-for positioning, put the protector on the device with both plastics still on, take a few pieces of tape, tape the oposite site of the peel off strip to the device when protector is in place
-clean screen again
-peel off plastic on sticky side, then aply the protector arced (less bubbles)
-now remove bubbles with a credit card, swipe em to the closest side untill they are gone
-finally , remove tape and upper plastic
worst that can happen is a few dust speckles under it (not if u use damp bathroom trick) , positioning should be ace when taped to the side
Super cheapos from eBay for me, please. They fit perfectly and you can't tell you have one. If I screw things up while applying I can always remove the specks of dust with a piece of tape. Easy as pie indeed. I'll never waste my money again on expensive "quality" ones.

The cheap ones scratch very easily, so you'll need to re-apply every few weeks ...

I'm using this one right now:

Surprisingly good for the price, it fits nicely and apparently it's pretty tough too. I'll see how well it fares in the coming days, I only have it since tuesday but it's holding up nicely so far

I discovered this trick a couple years ago. It's really great and more people should know it.
I do this, and take my time, and I get a perfect application every time.
I'm not sure how you do it but when i put on screen protectors I use a piece of tesa roll after I put the Protector down once to get the dust away from under the protector. Works really well...just do it inch by inch and you will be rewarded with a really invisible shield.
If you attach one side of the protector with tesa roll to the body before you remove the backside cover of it, then you even don't have to think about positioning as you can still move it around on the screen.
Hope this helped and I didn't misunderstand the topic completely...
