When I apply the screen protector I get air pockets between the screen and protector. As much as I try I can't get a smooth connection. Suggestions?

Same issue here - I'm going to try and get a refund; the issue is that the thing has so much of an electrostatic charge, that unless you're in a clean room it WILL attract particles from anywhere. Once it gets onto the back of the screen, good luck getting it off without leaving permanent marks on the back, which of course are very visible once applied.

First put on some latex gloves, then wipe down the computer screen with the dusting cloth in the package. Make absolutely sure the screen has NO dust/dirt particles. Try laying it flat on the table and looking across the screen to be sure its clear. With the gloves still on remove the backing on the Screen protector and try to only hold it by the edges. Line up the notch with the windows button on the bottom of the screen and allow the screen protector to adhere from the center of the device to the outside edges. Smooth the air bubbles out with the long side of your credit card wrapped with the cleaning cloth from the center of the screen to the edges. As long as the screen and the protector are clean and free of dust and dirt this should work. If not, I'm pretty sure this is why they come in packs of 2, I guess they give you one to practice with. CLEAN is the key. One tiny speck of dust is all you need to get a bubble that won't go away

Actually, I had the same issue. I was unable to get a clean connection and gave up. I was hoping for similar help.

I kept a can of air nearby. I cleaned the computer then waited for the room to settle. Right before I put on the screen protector I carefully blew off any dust until it stopped settling on the screen.

my son bought a 'zagg' on my amazon account. he said there is nothing for you to do but keep trying very carefully. the one he got is better because it gets rid of the air bubbles by itself over the period of a day or two. sorry i can't help more.

I will need a wet cloth to lubricate the screen after you've cleaned it well. Then carefully place the screen protected on while it's still moist. Once you've put in in they way you desire, push all the air bubbles out :)

It takes practices... a helpful thing is if you use clear tape or magic tape (the ones you normally use to wrap presents) to get rid of dust or crumps that would cause air bubbles. Of curse use the card thing that they give you to push out the air bubbles too. Also start pealing from one end and slowly peal as you apply the screen protector, it will reduce dust build up and keep your screen level.

I've installed many screen savers. Clean your screen gently with a lint free cloth. I think they provide one. Remove all smudges and make sure it's shpotless. Watch the video. When you lift the final shield (number 2) be careful not to lift up the actual screen protector. It may lift a little but no worries. I think the most IMPORTANT thing is to work from top down rather than paste the whole thing at once. Work from top down evenly and you won't get bubbles.

Yea the screen protector isn't very good. I recommend going to radio shack. I spent 20 dollars and it's been on my phone for 3 months

I didn't have this problem. My problem was condensation which occurred between the plastic cover and the phone screen. I broke down and went to Apple store for a CSS and I'm very happy now.

Make sure there's no zag shield or invisible shield still on your phone from before you had this case..i found it helps if you wipe the screen w a microfiber cloth then install the case

Yes, that happened to me too. I had to rub cooking oil on it to get the sticky stuff off of the screen protector.

Yes - my son had that issue and it turned out the front screen protector was t fitted snugly. He sorted that out and it was better

I have a regular screen protector on mine and don't have any issues. BUT - if the screen protector is markedly thicker that a standard protector, you might have issues with it. I guess I would try and see what happens. Sorry that sounds like bad advice. The whole tempered glass thing sounds thick. Make sure you can return it if it doesn't work. Good Luck!

Have had no trouble with ours. Possibly try reapplying it. Sorry we can't help more. Do you use a screen protector?

I don't think the screen protector will be the cause. Mine does the same but doesn't bother me

Use a credit card as you install it to make sure it lies flat. If you get bubbles that'd and you have dirt or lint on the under side of the protector. You are kind of screwed at that point. Clean phone and protector as best you can and reapply.

Hello David,I have no clue what went wrong! I would suggest using a hair drier to slightly warm the screen protector and gently work the bubbles out. My screen went on perfectly the very first time, Good luck.DB

Not very hard if you have similar experience, perhaps did the same thing for iPhone, all the stuff you need is in the pack. Find a clear and tidy place, make sure your screen is "uncontaminated" at all before you put it on, or you have to use another protector, it is OK if you have air bubble, all you have to do is push it to the any edges.

Hello buyer, as with most screen protectors there is approximately a 1mm gap around all edges. This is done to ensure you can get a good installation without needing for a perfect installation. I hope this answers your question. Best, Tech Armor Support

Mr. Frambes-Sorry for the delay in responding to you. The first layer is peeled off via the white tab to reveal the side that will go on the screen. This 2nd - or middle - layer is the side you place on your touch screen. Once you have it positioned and have squeegeed out all the air bubbles, you then remove the 3rd layer via the tab at the bottom. If there are still air bubbles remaining, you can push them out by outward pressure on the screen saver layer itself. Doing so will not harm or scuff up this layer. You only utilize one of the included 3-layer screen savers at a time.Hope this helps. If not, feel free to contact me.Thanks,Philip Mr. Frambes-Sorry for the delay in responding to you.
