After reading the reviews, Is this screen protector so precisely cut that its really hard to apply?

Yeah it's kinda difficult on a scale of 1-10 i would say 7/10. I got it on my 2nd try

Yes - if you make a mistake in not aligning it perfectly, you will get one edge that does not lay flat, which will allow bubbles to form from that side. Once it is laid down incorrectly and you try to lift it to reposition it then all hope is gone of reapplying it without bubbles. After lifting it a couple of times to try to realign, I finally did get one to lay flat without bubbles, but because of all the lifting from the corner, the film got bent and would not lay flat in that corner, so I had to rip it off and move on to the next film. Most frustrating thing possible trying to get these to align correctly.

The fit was fine and easy to line up. However getting all dust bubbles out proved to be more than I and all 3 of the protectors could accomplish. Watched the video, cleaned everything each time, still no luck.

I have had experience with screen protectors so it only took me a couple tries with the same protector but yes it can be just slightly smaller for easier application. I also had a issue with the top left of the protector not sticking completely.

Basically yes. I believe the protector was cut very precisely with very little (if any) tolerance to mis-alignment. I also had a small issue where one of the corners would not stick completely. Most likely due to it over-lapping the "lip" of the Nexus. But that was as good as I could get and with my MoKo protective cover, you can't see it as the grip covers it. I still like Tech Armor's products and they are very responsive and willing to send replacements if something goes awry with the installation. They stand behind their products. It was just a difficult installation as compared to my Galaxy S4. Basically yes. I believe the protector was cut very precisely with very little (if any) tolerance to mis-alignment.

In my opinion it is. You spray the side of the protector that's going to touch the screen, wet your fingers (wash before you start this whole thing) and a fine mist on the screen. Lay it down, line it up correctly and the squeegee the whole thing. takes like 60 seconds tops. make sure the screen is flawlessly clean before you start. It drives me nuts to see a little lint or hair between the screen and protector, starting over can crease the protector and get even more dust or lint into the mix.

I cut mine and it worked ok but the edges didn't stick as nice and I ended up with bubbles. The touch screen still works though and it will remain on mine until I find one that fits perfect.

I can tell you what I did. I got one of the cheap screen protectors for an iPhone, and cut it down to size with scissors. As far as I can tell, it worked perfectly.

Not at all. It was pretty easy to apply. No bubbles or anything like that. It's still as reflective as your phone would look without a screen protector so...

It's not hard to remove. Just pull the plastic piece off the back and remove the rubber portion. If you're using the screen protector you'll have to put it back in every time but not bad in my opinion.

No it actually is very good and easy to apply I bought a couple screen protectors had this on since I got it great.

Not at all. It is crystal clear. I also recommend you watch te video prior to application. The demo makes it really easy to apply it with no bubbles. Hope this helps.

Not really cause its like having the original screen on still. Its that clear. But the glare isn't bad, it's avoidable, the purpose of the screen protector is to defend the screen from drops or any other hits.

Very well. This screen protector is cut extremely well. Curved edges of the protector follow the phones edges with a very small amount of room to the edge of the glass. Also, random but may be helpful, mine came with a cut out for the proximity sensor so I have had no problems with that

I've only tried a few, and they have been very clear to me. This product is VERY clear to me and sometimes it seems as if there is no protector on it that's how clear it is to me. I would also try making your text a bigger font or stretching the screen with your fingers to make the page larger. I hope this has been helpful.

hmm... I'm looking it at it right now and it is a bit dirty so I would have to say yes, BUT not more than the screen itself did before I put the protector on. So it's really about the same. I have seen others that look really bad, and even feel almost sticky when you touch it. This one is not like that. Hope this helps!

Hello Robert K. ChoWe generally recommend applying plenty of solution evenly through the adhesive side of the screen protector so it will stick on tightly. Please be gentle for the first 48-72 hours so that the screen protector can settle in. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us for better assistance. - iTechAccessory

If you follow the instructions it is not hard to install. It may take a few tries but as long as your hand is steady and you line up the holes properly it slips right into place. I have tried other protectors and this is by far the best. It leaves no residue. If you remove it the screen is perfect without cleaning.

It's just difficult to apply the screen protector, the case is perfect and I believe it will protect the screen just fine. I have an Iphone 4s that I've had for 2 years and there's not a scratch on the screen because of the type of case I have it in, it's actually like new.

It kind of depends on you for how wet the process will be... I usually make my screens pretty wet when I apply... However I don't think it's necessary to go overboard. My opinion is that you will be fine. Maybe even just spray the protector and not the screen. The wet just allows easy adjustment of the protector. You squeegee all the wet out once your happy with the placement. I'm not sure this will stop the crack from spreading though...

You have asked the right question of the right person. I have ZAGG and ARMORSUIT products, and they are the multi layer "almost gluing it on" variety. I like you like SIMPLE. I have used the SONY and it is every bit as high performance as the other multi-layer sandwich approaches and you just put it on. No squeegy. No tools. No two pages of application instructions. You just put it on. YES, this is the product you want. All such screen protectors should be this simple.
