In my opinion, it's virtually impossible to apply screen protector film to a large tablet--such as an iPad or 8.9" Kindle Fire--without having a few dust-mote bubbles left when you're finished.  So I like the fact that this MARWARE CLEAR SCREEN PROTECTOR KIT FOR KINDLE FIRE HDX 8.9" includes two sheets of protective film.  It gives you two chances at achieving a perfect, bubble-free installation.This film is cut to the exact size of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" screen, and it has a cutout circle for the front-facing camera.  The film is perfectly clear, and doesn't interfere with the sensitivity of the touchscreen.The film is stiff enough to be fairly easy to handle during the application.  It has protective sheets on both sides.  First, you clean the HDX screen with the included microfiber cloth.  Second, you remove the protective sheet (#1 tab) from the weak adhesive side of the film.  Third, you apply the film to the HDX screen.  Fourth, you remove the remaining protective sheet (#2 tab).  Finally, you smooth the bubbles out with the included stiff cardboard "squeegee".  If you want to try again, the protective film peels off easily without leaving any residue.As usual, I ended up with a few tiny bubbles after my second installation attempt.  However, each of my two attempts resulted in a nearly perfect installation.  For that reason, I'm quite satisfied with this kit.
