The following will run through the experience of the installation process and comparison with EXiM PET dry install screen protectors and Wrapsol Wet apply body protection.

(Reportedly, Zagg is also similar to Skinomi)

Type:

Installation: WET

Light Permeability: High (ultra clear, glossy)

Prior to Installation:

The protector material is packaged in a tube. Opening the package cap reveals a rolled up screen protector, an instruction guide, squeegee and spray solution. The protector was unrolled and flattened for several days prior to installation.

Installation:

bathroom was steamed up to settle the dust, the screen was cleaned with a mircofibre cloth dipped in 99% Isopropyl.

Compressed air was used to blast off any dust particles on the screen

The protector material was peeled and sprayed with solution

The protector material is elastic / stretchy.

-If my experience with Wrapsol's body protection material that was also stretchy is any indication, caution must be used during installation to avoid accidental excessive stretching which caused permanent deformation of the material. Once the material is over stretched, the holes, edges, etc will be unaligned, rendering the protector useless.

-There is no stretchiness with EXiM PET or any dry install screen protectors

Installation took a few tries before perfect alignment was achieved.

-on several occasions when I tried to realign one part of the screen protector (hoping the rest of the material would follow as with ridged dry PET protectors), the material would instead stretch, so I had to lift the whole screen protector for alignment to avoid stretching and deformation.

After alignment, I used a micro cloth to push all the solution (which is hopefully demineralized to prevent electrical conductivity)

-a micro cloth was used instead of the squeegee provided to minimize damage to the overly soft protector material.

-the material is dentable even with mere accidental stab of a finger nail (not so with ridged dry install PET protectors).

I noticed it's almost impossible to see remaining dust specs due to under lying liquid solution, so you'll just have to hope you did a good job of cleaning prior to installation

First day of application:

-Foggy screen (reportedly disappears after a few days)

-Dented protector (the material is too soft and is pretty much useless to protect itself) (unless this characteristic ALSO disappears and becomes hard material in a few days..., can't recommend)

Second day:

-Majority of the fogginess from the microbubbles have disappeared, a minority of it remains, ~2% of the screen

-material remains soft and malleable

-one dust spec found

Fourth Day:

-Several dents on the screen protector remain from the installation process and more will come from even the slightest impact of a pointy object.

-This material is simply too soft. It is a poor choice of material if longevity is the aim of the protector.

-all microbubbles disappeared

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This stuff is a joke.

the EXiM PET protectors are half the price and twice the quality.

I used to have a manually modified Apple IPAD EXiM PET protector installed for their lack of the Transformer version available on eBay for $12. Now I can tell the EXiM is definitely better both in installation process and usability.

Light permeability might be a little better with this Skinomi protector as it is thinner than the PET dry install protectors. But I can not be completely sure. I am comparing an old PET installation with weeks of accumulated finger prints and other grime to a brand new installation of Skinomi. So the comparison isn't on equal footing.

PROs:

high light permeability, thin

more Fingerprint resistant (more so than Dry Apply EXiM)

CONs:

difficult installation

-hard to realign (due to stretchiness, requires total lift of material for realignment)

-stretchiness (prone to accidental deformation during installation)

-difficult to see dust specs until a while after installation due to necessary spray solution

poor usability on 1st day post installation (delay in fog dissipation)

poor longevity (soft material very vulnerable to dents and scratches)

-extremely vulnerable to vinegar (cause permanent blur smear)

-extremely vulnerable to isopropyl (cause permanent blur smear)

RECOMMENDED?: No
