I believe you have installed the protector upside down. The side facing out is slick glass, the side facing the screen has an adhesive to make it adhere to the phone's screen.

I think you put it on backwards. Both sides will adhere but you place the side with the 1 tab on then peal 2 off

nothing you can do....your issue is a little different...do an RMA for refund or replacement.

If its sticky you have somehow put the wrong bit on your phone. The glass portion is very thin, I nearly separated the sticky bit from the back when I was attempting to remove it from the packaging. The font should look and feel like glass once it is stuck on, not sticky at all.

When I applied it, a tiny hair was caught underneath. I tried to remove it, and the hair, and reapply, but it's just too sticky. I ended up just dealing with it. I don't think it's really meant for multiple applications.

I would send it back. Mine has not peeled but it is not very stick resistant.

I waited 24 hrs for it to soak in. Then I used a wood stripper on it because mine was sticky. Then I used odorless mineral spirits to clean up the residual wood stripper, then I washed all that w/denatured alcohol and let that dry until there was no sign of wetness on the wood (48 hrs). Also, to make sure the bugs were gone (they were) and then put a finish on it. The stuff works and u can paint after it but the wood has to be clean.

I've had mine for well over a year and it's still sticky as day 1. I do keep it in a ziploc when not in use, so that might help (plus it keeps it from getting all over everything else in the bag.)

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

I added more spray when mine had problems sticking. Let me know if this helps

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

I am STILL having trouble with it slipping off. I am going to try different methods of wrapping it. I am so sorry that I could not be of more help!

Hello McGeezy, Our full body protectors are very durable and strong when applied with plenty of solution applied. Please gently push down the the pieces after it is applied so it can adhere better onto the device. Thank you for your concern. -iTechAccessory

I am sorry I can not help u as I always use another sheet on top of it so if that happens all I have to do is take it off n wash it but u could always try vanish or a stronger cleaning detergent on the affected area I hope this helped in any way

I don't know if this would work but if it was mine, i would remove the protector and reapply the spray that came with it. Good luck.

Mine were sticky at first. You HAVE to clean skin with alcohol before applying or they won't stick for very long. If yours are not sticking even after cleaning skin, then something's wrong with them. Return if you can or exchange. There a decent product esp. for price.

I poked mine in through the hole and it dropped onto the sticky part.....worked great. Had lots of moths, and they flocked to the trap until all three sides were covered. Had to replace it before the two or three months it was supposed to last.....second trap did the trick. No more moths.

Take a damped sponge and wipe it clean. Let it dry. Once dry it should he sticky again.

Agree- must have puddled it on to get it to be sticky. Brush or roll it on, and it soaks in and dries pretty quickly. I have even walked on it within 2 h of application with no apparent ill effect to the finish (although I would recommend letting it cure for the full 24 h)

What I do, Mary, is get the spray and not only dowse the sticky part of the cover but also lightly spray the iPad as well. It will still be a little sticky, but you should be able to slide the shield into place. Once you get it where you want, the rubber piece that comes in the package is used to squeeze out the moisture. Start in the middle of the screen and work your way out getting the big bubbles out. It takes a few days for all of the small bubbles to go away, but they will.Good luck!! Maggie
