Some tips on applying screen protectors dust free: (I posted these earlier in the thread... if they help you guys out, maybe we can have them added to the OP)

Before you start... wash your hands well and dry the most lint free way you can.

1) Do it in the bathroom... yeah the bathroom. It has the most hard surfaces of any room and has the least amount of dust in the air.

2) Do this right after someone takes a hot shower if possible. The humidity build up kills floating dust.

3)Use a spray bottle with water in it set on the lightest mist setting you can to mist the air in the room before you begin. This helps kill lingering dust in the air.

(If you really want to be anal... take off your shirt... moisten your hair... eliminate other personal dust creators. )

4) This tip is for static style only... Have a piece of scotch tape (the clear kind found on most office desks) near by. You can use this to remove any dust that manages to find its way under the protector. Use one piece to lightly stick to the protector's top to aid in lifting it without damage and then use a second piece to lightly pick off the dust from the bottom of the protector. Just a light touch is all that is needed to remove the dust. Avoid touching with fingers for obvious reasons.

5) clean the screen well with quality glass cleaner, then use a lint free towel to wipe it down and ensure there are no streaks. (the ones that come with cheap protectors are far from lint free so get one on your own if you can) I also highly recommend a can of air to blow off the screen after cleaning just in case dust or lint found its way there. Be careful to keep the can upright as it can spit out liquid propellant and smudge the clean screen forcing a re-clean.

6) If using an adhesive style (zagg, skinomi, others) apply a thin but complete coat to the back of the protector and a light mist to the screen. Do not touch the back of the protector if at all possible, if it must happen keep it to the tiniest bit of edge you can. (the liquid may work with static style as well, don't know never tried and probably never will, try if you want though and report back your findings)

7) For static style do as recommended and only peel back a bout a third of the film and then start at the bottom and use a credit card to slide up the protector. This will cause the film to peel off on its own. It will also help remove air bubbles. Do this slowly and use this time to ensure the fit is straight before its fully applied and needs to be redone. This minimizes the chances of dust. The adhesive kind are a little easier in this regard, as you can slide them around. That clear tape can help remove stubborn air bubbles as well, so don't fret too much should you get one. Here is the time to remove dust as well. (remember this is for static only... sticky tape + sticky protectors = stuck together forever)

8) For adhesive style, after the protector is applied, aligned, bubbles removed and you have ensured all the liquid possible is removed, let the thing sit somewhere warmish and untouched for 30 minutes to an hour. If you can get it somewhere there is some air flow, even better.

9) Enjoy your new dust free screen protector. (remember the adhesive style needs a day or two to fully dry out and clear up)
