Review: Applies easily, few to no bubbles, reduces glare

Screen protectors and I have an uneasy relationship. It's rare that I can apply one and not get air bubbles underneath, no matter how careful I am. So it was with great interest that I tried the Moshi AirFoil screen protectors which claim to let air through to eliminate bubbles. It works.I first applied one to a Kindle Keyboard my wife uses, that I had made a botch of with an earlier screen protector - bubbles everywhere. The Moshi applied easily and larger bubbles readily eased themselves out with gentle pressure of the included small microfiber cloth. All was not perfect, as dust, my arch enemy here, got trapped despite my best intentions. Moshi includes pieces of sticky tape that can remove dust from the screen surface, but I guess some particles wafted in anyway. I was pleased to see that the bubbles created by dust were smaller than usual.I then took my Kindle Paperwhite to work where I applied the second protector in what I hoped was a less dusty environment. It was largely successful, with just two small dust particles near edges. It probably didn't help that I had to reposition the protector multiple times.The "dry" adhesive Moshi uses works quite well and is more forgiving than the older wet kind.In place the protector is unobtrusive and seems to cut down on glare somewhat. On the Paperwhite it did not interfere with the touchscreen operation.
