Nothing you can do. I removed my screen protector and no more bubbles or trapped dirt.

I actually took the clear plastic screen protector off. That is the only thing I didn't like about it also. I keep one on my phone.

There's a tinted green layer on the screen protector which yois removed the bubbles. but I found it was still uneven. So I took off the screen protector that comes which the case altogether. It's much better now...I figure as long as u have an actual screen protector on ur phones screen u should be good. Maybe I will write a review and post some pics.

I love this case as well, and had the same problem. At first I put a glare-resistant soft touch screen protector on it, and that worked. However, you do have to set your brightness to a higher setting. I actually ended up removing the screen protector all together and just putting a regular skinomi screen protector for the screen. Up to you.

Of the reviews I read it didn't seem like anyone had a screen protector on their phone prior to getting the case or when they put the case on their phone. I think it caused a problem for me but I didn't want to take my screen protector off to see if the fit or bubbling changed.

Lift the edges of thee case up a little where the air bubbles are forming! :) try to flatten it a bit if you know what I mean

No I do not have that problem.. use some rubbing alcohol and clean both sides of screen protector to remove residues

You're using the screen protector with it right? Because not using it allows the case to become loose and not snug fit. If you are using it then just make sure you push down really hard on the edges to make sure its clipped in correctly.

I always clean the glass surface first then I place the screen protector careful but it does still leave bubble. I smooth it out with a plastic squeezie that sometime comes with it and that works.

No, it doesn't cause the screen to bubble up. It's usually the screen protector that's the problem, or the way it was applied. The case has a clean, smooth finish to it. It looks just like the pictures, and it's good quality. I am very happy with it, and as satisfied as a person who spent $50!

Hello Marilyn, Please try to use a case that barely reaches the edges of the phone to prevent the bubbles from appearing. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. iTech

Get a matte screen protector. Otherwise it will stick. My iPad runs without a screen protector underneath the Otterbox Defender and it does the same thing.

My application of the screen protector is clear without distortion. Your case sounds like an air bubble. Recommend carefully lifting the corner nearest the distortion and reset the shield where there distortion is located. Make sure ther are no air bubbles.

I have the invisible shield screen protector by Zagg and the case does not affect it at all. Maybe consider getting a different screen protector.

I bought the case a few months ago and still haven't gotten the bubbles out. I've tried everything and finally have just learned to deal with the splotchy screen thanks to the bubbles. I've been tempted to cut the screen protector out of the case and just be done with it.

My 5s Fre case' screen protector did have little ripples in when I first opened it, but its not noticable when I use the phone in the case, is very flat onto the screen. I think that when there are still noticable ripples in the protector screen after having put the phone in the case, then it could possibly be a defect.

I actually use a screen protector for the screen. Didn't realize that the case also protects. I check and found the lip is existent but I think the gap it creates is only about 3-4 papers thick.

Don't know ... I ended up removing the screen protector because it was making the touch-screen navigation less responsive (probably just our preference ... sorry I couldn't answer the "bubble" question). Still absolutely love the case without it!

No, the screen protector is great actually. It does what it's supposed to do. having had this case for a few weeks, my only gripe is that you have to press harder on the home button than you would usually have to. You have to press harder on all of the buttons. Maybe this is some sort of break-in period. I'll edit my review after another month or so to see if the buttons loosen up at all. For now, they're still pretty tight.
