thanks a lot for the detailed sharing.:)

I can do it myself afterwards
[General Accessories] :
I definitely have to try this the next time I put a screen protector on. I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the thread, but I always do mine in the shower, something were the humidity keeps the dust from settling.

[General Accessories] mfelten86:
Zagg InvisiShield screen protectors are also really good, they are the only ones i will buy. they are military grade, scratch resistant, etc. they also have some smudgeproof ones, but those can take away the quality of the screen, these are nice though because they come with a spray solution that you spray before you put the screen protector down so you can move the protector around on the screen trying to get it centered. then you squeegee the liquid out from underneath and its ready to go, this is also nice because this gets rid of air bubbles and also dust.

Nice Trick bro ...

Thanks for your Post :D

I'm Using "Capdase" Brand for my protection screen also the case too :p
[General Accessories] Riiquiem:
nice but how to remove it?

I'm glad to see a HTC One there because I can't get the screen protector off mine.

Tape doesn't work and you can't grab the edges because the edge of the actual screen is a little bit higher than the protector.

Any ideas?
[General Accessories] scapper:
Awesome I never thought of the tape handles. Next time I replace my protector I'll use that instead of wearing latex gloves!

i hate screen protectors
[General Accessories] oukiza:
guys how do you not catch bubbles after successfully put the screen protector ?
[General Accessories] laughingT:
it's caused by dirt specks on the protector. use the tape mop method mentioned in instructions. if there is a delay after installing, it could be liquid droplets that evaporate after a while.

Scotch tape and a microfiber cloth will do wonders to apply a screen properly! :D
[General Accessories] luxeluxe:
I've done them 4 times, and no. Even though manufacturers are shady, they wouldn't let you ruin your phone. : ). Have no fear, just be sensible, don't go overboard, have a paper towel handy. I'm usually most worried about applying in a steamy bathroom, but even that has been fine.

[General Accessories] servel20:
Thank You, it also helps if as you peel the backing you also slide your finger or squeege across the middle keeping the screen protector as close to the screen, it keeps the dust from somehow getting trapped between the screen and the protector.

I've been using Tamiya Masking Tape to hold the protector instead.

It's a low tacking tape and you can buy a small roll in any hobby shop.

[General Accessories] juicejuice:
Very cool, will try this next time. BTW, I live in Australia where ceiling fans are very common. I find that having the fan on in the work area helps reduce the amount of dust. That might be a useful alternative to the steamy bathroom idea for some people.

[General Accessories] axelpix:
Thanks for this great guide. funny that it made it to the XDA front page 2 1/2 years after its first appearance.

One more tip:

I always go to the bath room or the kitchen sink when applying a new screen protector. I keep the hot water running to produce some steam. Ideally the hot shower is running and the bath room is full of steam. All the dust that's floating in the air will be brought down by the steam and you will have zero static charges.
[General Accessories] lunkwell:
I used to palmets on shop windows so taking a leaf outta that book I use luke warm water with a drop of washing up liquid and a credit card or phone card and 2 lint free cloths

Clean the front of the phone with a lint free cloth.

Then rub some of the water with the washing up liquid onto the glass.

With the second lint free cloth dry the glass.

Add the water/washing up liquid mix again (not a lot)

Wash your fingers in the same liquid (removes the natural oils)

Do not dry the fingers you need to keep the fingers damp

Peel off the protective cover

Place the cover onto the glass and slide to position

Then using the credit card scrape to the sides slowly

Leave the phone for a few hours or use a hair dryer at a low heat but do not dry close to the glass (if the phone gets hot during drying bring the dryer back some more) do this for at least 10 - 15 mins)

This works for me every time. there is no dirt or air bubbles

leftover

Hi,

If I can add something to this guide:

I have used vikuiti shields also and since my girfriend bought xperia Z she wanted to protect the screen.

We have try to apply it and first it was in a bathroom and with water running and still there were some

pieces of dust underneath it, but after a few days it has gone and it was flat and nice. After a some time

using it we replaced it with another same folie, and same thing happened with the dust and also after

a few days the bump with the dust dissapeared. So dont be dissapointed if You have bump with dust

because it usually dissapear when shild settles and get warmed by screen.

hope i helped someone...

[General Accessories] hutzdani:
Wow this thread has lots of useful Information, but after many many screen protector applications I have found the quickist easyist way to apply protectors without having to worry about dust.

Tape over any speaker / microphone grills and if your really paranoid USB ports any tape that's not paper or fabric based.

Hand soap / washing liquid

Hot water

Tea towel / towel

Static or adhesive based or wet application protector.

IPA / pure alachol.

1. Take some hand soap or washing liquid and hot water and apply it to the static / adhesive side and give it a good wash until all static / adhesive is gone.

2. Clean your screen with IPA to remove any grime e.c.t

3. Apply a generous blob of IPA to your screen.

4. Lay your protector on the phone and position, soak up any excess IPA with your towel.

5. Using your fingers or a card push all the IPA out from under the screen soaking it up as it comes out, as you do this any trapped dust particles will be swept out as the IPA stops it from adhering to the protector.

6. Allow the phone to dry for about 20/30mins and push out any remaing trapped air / IPA, this builds up static now its mostly dry helping the protector stay in place.

7. Admire a flawless screen protector everytime ! Used this method on nexus 4 / 5 / 7 / HTC one mini / iPhone 4s / galaxy s 3 mini

Take your time and remain calm ! The longer you give the IPA to dry up the better chances of it beating flawless.
[General Accessories] loudog4330:
Pretty much exactly how I do it but I never thought of doing it in the bathroom. I'll try it next time.

Might sound kind of gross but after I get it installed and you run your finger across it and it kind of drags due to it being new, I'll rub my fingers on my forehead and there is a little bit of great and use it on the screen protector to give it that slick feeling.
[General Accessories] jotekman:
Just thought I would say... Thank you very much. Installed zillions, and I am very pedantic, but rarely get it perfect. Using your hinge method and in a humid room, it turned out to be the most flawless install ever. Huge props. Thanks!
[General Accessories] sooperwill:

[General Accessories] Jay Rock:
Nice article. The screen protector I have on my S3 came with the Seidio case and holster and I was able to easily apply it without any bubbles, so I must be good at this since I've had it for a long time. The protector is pretty scratched though but I don't know if I should leave it or if it's time for a change. Screen is not smooth for sure.

[General Accessories] l3s:
What is the name of the material, what some people use for take out the dust or dirt under the protector? This material like plasticine just littebit harder. I saw couple of place ie. service etc.

I know, I can do same thing with scotch, but the first is looks easier and reusable.

[General Accessories] Pilz:
Simple and effective guide.

Side note Please don't quote whole posts^
[General Accessories] PJroast:
I've found the best method is to pick a room with minimal air flow, and then just work quickly. I wipe the screen for 5 minutes and then very quickly slap the protector on.
[General Accessories] bacchus258:
The best tip in the op that has taken allot of the frustration away from my installations is the use of painters tape to align the protector. Brilliant idea!

Thanks to you i'm not frustrated right now! But tell me is there any difference between cheap one for 10 $ and expensive. Beaceuse i don't know if i should invest in expensive screen protector? Is it worth to do that?
[General Accessories] NoCrAppleHere:
Best?

I got a Invisible Shield and it really installed poorly. I was going to get a replacement and try again, but I don't feel like paying the $4 they charge to get it. I mean, 46 cents and pop it in a envelope. Anyway, is Zagg truly the best? I also liked, at first, that the fact that you add solution to the screen and then install it, but I almost fainted when the solution started going towards my ear mic. I thought it would help perfect alignment but it doesn't because you need to put a nice amount of the solution or some parts stick and others move free and easy. Any tips on Zagg install?

Thanks.

Quick question for the floor. I've been getting screen protectors from 5 Below stores. They are good, I feel, and they run $2+tx. I wanna know if there really is any difference between the one I get and the ones I can get off eBay that are about 6 for $2-$3? Thanks :)
[General Accessories] Silent Lain:
Since you did not provide any information about the products themselves (e.g. providing link to product) it's impossible to tell.

However there can be many differences which can have a dramatic effect on your experience.

Things which could make a difference:

- material: there are simple plastic films and "tempered glass" (way more expensive) screenprotectors

- scratch resistance: some are scratch resistant, others may be very vulnurable to hard objects of any kind causing them to get scratched easily. Tempered glass ones have high resistance to scratches in general

- visibility: how transparent are these? Super clear (like invincible) or matt? Tempered glass ones are very clear in general

- reflection: super clear ones will increase reflection, matt ones will reduce reflection but less clear visibility and less clear colors. Some screenprotectors are built that way so that other people glancing from an angle will get a harder time (to not possible) to view the content on your phone

- oil resistance: screenprotectors with low oil resistance are vulnerable to finger prints. It can also matter how easy it is to clean your screenprotector. Tempered glass ones are often coated with an anti oil layer, however their resistance against oil is good even without

- (tempered glass only) shock resistance: some tempered glasses ones provide additional shock resistance to protect your screen, until they get damaged. It also matters IF they get damaged, how it can affect your screen if you try to remove them. Some may cause scratches during that process.

So to your question...

Screenprotectors bought in a local store (at least in my country) are often way more expensive than the ones you can buy from amazon or ebay. In local stores you can often find "branded" screenproctectors and on amazon and especially on ebay "no names". Additionally (big) local stores have more costs to run than your general ebay seller, so prices are normally higher.

This means there could be "no difference" at all between the two options you've mentioned.
