How wet is the application process? I have a hairline crack in my screen, and want a good screen protector to prevent it from spreading.

I would suggest visiting zagg.com and watching their install videos. http://www.zagg.com/support/install_help_center You spray your fingers, you "heavily" spray the sheet, but you don't actually spray the screen itself directly. After lining it up and placing the sheet on your screen you squeegee it in place, which would have the potential of seeping into your crack. Or it could just push over it and out the sides. I suppose there are no guarantees and it would be your call.

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...

The bubbles are possibly because you didn't apply it evenly. With very clean hands you should be able to peel it back off and reapply it careful from one end, with a rolling-pin kind of motion. But I agree with many who comment that a decent screen doesn't need the glass protection. I do use this on my Samsung and tolerate one slight bubble along the case edge. It's a reminder to be more careful the next time, but I'm not obsessive enough to do it over another time. (I already did it twice to get it that close.)

I have noticed absolutely no compromise in functionality of the touch screee. The "wet application" is actually like an isopropyl alcohol that dries very quickly. You lightly mist the touchscreen and apply the protector. The wet application allows you to move the plastic around if you don't have it quite right. You then use the included little squeegee to smooth out the air bubbles and *presto*.Hope this helps.

It's not as nice as the ones that you apply with water, but it is better than a few cheap protectors I have purchased. It covers the screen with all the cutouts in the right spot. I had to redo it once to get the alignment correct but I think that would be with any protector. I also have 2 small bubbles on the edge but does not effect the viewing area. Hope this answers your question.

I went to the cell phone store and had them install it on my phone. Before he put the shield on my phone, I observed the person spray the display with some kind of lubricant. Frankly I do not know what it was. Immediately after he peeled the plastic protector from the shield and carefully placed it on the moisturized display. He then used a plastic edger maybe 2 or 3 inches wide and worked any/all bubbles out. I suppose I could buy a plastic edger and find out the spray they used at the store. But then again I'm glad I took it to the cell phone store and just had them do it for me.

The whole purpose of the screen protector is that it breaks instead of your screen. Energy from a drop can't just disappear, it has to be used for something, and the shattering of the protector is where it goes. Buy a new one and don't try to screw over the company for making a product that saved your phone screen by doing what its supposed to do.

The short answer is for your purpose this product is not ideal. You have to spray a fine mist on the screen of your electronics in order to apply the screen protector. Since your screen is cracked I wouldn't risk the fluid leaking inside your device. However for an intact screen i believe this is one of the best screen protectors out there.

I have heard of people doing it, and im going to give it a try, I will comment on how it works once I try it. This is a perfect case all it needs is a better screen protector.

Rami Elamine and David P. Bard, can you comment on whether you are using a screen protector, such as ZAGG or InvisiShield? I have seen a few complaints like this that appear to be related to the dye in the cover soaking into the screen protector. Or is it actually causing problems on the screen itself?

I bought mine from U-like-Accessories. It came fast and its very easy to install. The directions are little confusing. When you get the protector use the wipes labeled 1 then 2 then wipe clean with the cloth included. The tricky part is a blue film that you peel off with the sticker provided and tap the film all over the phone to produce static electricity, from there peel off the back film on the glass and drop on to the phone. It will automatically seal without bubbles. Just to ensure the seal is strong, press the edges with your finger, then your done. It's like you don't have anything on your phone. I hope that helps.

Hello Marc Mielke, Thank you for your purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please note that the touchscreen may lose a bit of its sensitivity after the application, due to excess solution still trapped beneath the protector. However, within 2-3 days, the protector should be completely dried up and the touchscreen sensitivty will be back to its normal. Please do allow time for the drying process. If you have any questions, please do contact us for better assistance. iTech Accessory

Installing - Clean the surface with a fiber cloth. Start from one end and using a credit card or similat start rollling as you press the screen with the credit card right behind. (This was the instructions in another similar product I purchased earlier and works quite well, with almost no air bubbles and dust). Droplets of water seem not to do any harm but have not tried deliberately.

The ArmorSuit is very industrial and needs a heat source (I think they recommend a hairdryer) to seal it onto the screen permanently, I was worried about heating up my phone! The second is simply a clear, plastic screen which you stick onto your phone (being careful that you smooth it out fully for a wrinkle-free finish), it can be removed and replaced but I have had mine on for a few months now and it stands up well to average use.

When I applied mine, I already had a screen protector on the phone i was NOT happy with. I removed it, cleaned the glass with the dust cloth in the box. I always apply my accessories on a clean dry table before i begin [don't want ANY dust under the protector]. I had my case on the phone which helped me to guide/ placement of the glass. Pressed down on glass from center out and upwards. it did look like i had a tiny bit of dust in one area but within a few moments it went away [which they tell you in the install instructions].I couldn't be happier.....EXCELLENT product!!!

I'm sure it would help prevent further damage, but the cracks may cause air bubbles to appear on the screen, which would be likely to occur with any screen protector. I apologize for answering this question so late!

Hi, well if your screen isn't damaged you can certainly use the screen protector. In my honest opinion the screen protector is used for minor scrathes that can be preventable, from everyday use or poor management. I can assure you that in the event the screen is damage you will have no hopes to using this product.

It will depend on how often you keep your screen clean. Any doubt I would put a screen protector. Personally I'm trying one out for a few weeks to see if I lose any performance. Good luck!
