The OP is great.

Being a huge fan of matte screens, as opposed the glossy crap that every device out there seems to sport these days... I am sad to report, that the Vikuiti brand matte film (ARMR220 series) I installed on my MotoX XT1060 is a little less than satisfactory in that it has pretty bad moire patterns on my display now. Not sure if it's due to specific interaction with the LCD on the MotoX, but on any white-colored screen, the effect is pretty pronounced and distracting. The protector was a hair too long for my MotoX, so I had to trim maybe 2mm off the end of it to fit properly with no edge bubbling... and the microphone hole is slightly mis-aligned such that it actually covers the mic hole.

I'm not sure what kind of guarantee protectionfilms24 provides on their products, but since it's been a while since my order, I'm not sure if there's much I can do about it. I'll use it for a while to see if it bothers me enough to replace it with another brand or model.

As an aside, I've had good luck in the past with the Spigen/SGP Steinheil UF matte (discontinued) product on my Gen 1 Nexus 7 and a product from Anker (rebranded Glaze from Japan) for my Gen 2 Nexus 7 FHD.

edit: I contacted protectionfilms24.com and they are going to send me a replacement film free of charge without my even asking for it (just gave them feedback). pretty good customer service, so kudos to them!

Thanks buddy, it's very important cause this saved my past S2 screen's from cracking.

Very useful! I I will soon change the screen protector on a 4s and this will come in handy! :good:

Tips

If you have a regular screen protector (e.g.of eBay) just by cleaning the screen and using a credit card to get rid of the bubbles, this helps.
[General Accessories] jheka7:
what?
[General Accessories] BillTheCat:
A word of advice. Get out of the habit of just clicking the quote button and regurgitating the original post again. If you have to quote some segment of the original post, edit out the unnecessary segments.
[General Accessories] justmpm:
I would also like to add...please try not to post simple "Thank You" posts. The OP sure deserves the thanks, but thank you posts clutter up the thread making useful tips and tricks harder to find. Thanks!

Bubbles :(

I followed the steps neatly but i got some very small bbbles on the screen how do i remove the bubbles
[General Accessories] Shadowbech:
While it is not recommended, but it can be done. All you need to do is use a plastic prying tool like you would use those to open your phone, or even a guitar pik would work fine.

On one of the edges, gently use it to pry it up, put a small tape underneath it and use your finger on the edges to lift it up and remove dust.

I have done this many times with my Zagg Glass and yet it still holds perfectly fine. No adhesive lost. You just need to be very careful lifting it up without touching the adhesive.

Other than that the hinge method is the best method out there when installing.

For tablets, use a rubber band to wrap around it to align it first and then tape the sides. Much easier.

More to this, the screen protectors I find are not perfectly of the size of the device screen, they are more or less on the edges.
[General Accessories] BillTheCat:
I've never seen a case where a quality screen protector from the vendors mentioned in the 1st post suffered from this problem, but you do raise a good point about the risks of buying "off-brand" product.

I've heard that if you do this in the bathroom with the shower on it will cut down on air particles. The idea is that the air particles will attract and trap any dust floating around.

I haven't tried this myself but I'd be interested in any results.

For the last screen protector I put, I just paid attention on removing any trace of dust form the table, from anything around the phone.

For the first time I was able to remove and replace the same screen protector :D no dust and no pain.

I use cheap one only. I think anybody has to spend more than 3$, or 2€ for this.

Cheers!

[General Accessories] AsianBlackKid:
This is really smart, never would have thought of this!
[General Accessories] Starnel:
What has always been working for me and never had a bubble since i done it this way is to peel off the adhesive facing down, with that no "flying dust" will fall on the protector, however, you must be very careful to set the protector in place, but this doesnt seem to be a problem at all, peeling off with the adhesive facing down is the key, trust me.

Same here I always rely on tape when installing a new protector to my phone. I did the same when I installed my new Vizomax TV screen protector - I put all the velcro strips in the installation package plus some more tape I had at home. I prefer having more tape and being sure the protector won't come off.

I found that it is much easier to collect the dust and hair using the clear plastic adhesive tapes. all i did was cut a small piece of the adhesive tape and roll it and stick it to the other end so the sticky side is expose, then just roll it across the screen. it also remove smug off the screen as well.

the tip about working in a slightly steamy washroom really does work. To make things easier try to wait until there is a lot of sunlight before applying. It will really help you see even the smallest piece of dust that you might not notice until AFTER you've applied the protector.
