Clear screen protector application - air bubble removal

I have bought many clear screen protectors and often have had issues trying to get the air bubbles out from the screen protectors. Sometimes, dust is underneath the protect and when I try to clean it out using the cloth included with the protector, it gets even more dust and then the protector becomes useless. Is there any recommendations on how to best avoid getting air bubbles underneath your screen protector?

I just received and installed the Incipio Feather case on my iPhone 4. I had it on my 3G and liked it as it is a very slim, unobtrusive case and is like a hard plastic core with a matte, slightly rubbery, velvety surface. I had installed Zagg first, but was displeased with the orange peel surface on the front. I left the Zagg on the back as I do feel it will offer good protection from the back and removed it from the front. The case fit with no problems. The incipio feather comes with 2 hard clear screen protectors with a hole for the front camera, and the front protectors are MUCH better than having the rubbery, lumpy Zagg on the front screen and don't require any liquid to apply. I was hoping I would get one crystal screen protector and one matte protector as I did when I used Power Support screens in the past, but they are both clear. The surface is smooth and nice. I don't have any loss of signal now when I hold the phone in my palm cupping the lower left side. I probably slightly prefer the matte power support screen as it is easier to keep clean, but power support is not shipping yet. If I had to do it over again I would skip the Zagg and just get the incipio. Just my 2 cents and thought I'd share my experience.

    Why would your iPhone 5C not have a warranty? Has it sustained physical damage?

  • About Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini

    I'm getting Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini on eBay.com in the Mail tomorrow but i have 1 question if I Bring My Apple iPad Mini 16GB WiFi Only Tablet to The Apple Store tomorrow will they put on the Lot Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector on My Apple iPad Mini if i asked them to??? cause I Don't know how to do it, My House is Very Dusty yes even if i try to do it myself yeah i have to many Electronics in my house yes I Need Help, I Do have an Apple iPhone 5 64GB From Verizon Wireless should i try going there to if they can't help me at The Apple Store???
    Sorry i'm being very Annoying to bother anyone here, i know you don't like it?

    You know, it's ok to ask! If I was you, I'd try asking them at the Apple store or, if you got the iPad at the Verizon store, go there. It won't hurt to ask - just tell them you don't know how to do it and don't want to mess it up. It's a little difficult to do it right - I got that kind of thing for my Macbook Pro for the bottom where your hand rests and had a hard time putting it on. So, go ahead and ask. If they're too busy, read the instructions a couple of times and wait until you have plenty of time and are relaxed and try it yourself.
    I know you can do it if necessary!

  • Clear screen protector under Otterbox Defender?

    I have an Otterbox Defender for my IPad (4th Gen) with an additional anti-glare screen protector underneath the Otterbox one, but the ant-glare is ruining the retina display. Does anyone who have an Otterbox have a clear screen protector under? If so, does it create watermarks? Thanks in advance!

    I have an Otterbox Defender Case on my iPad 3 with a retina display. There is absolutely no reason to use a screen protector on the iPad itself, because the Defender has one built in. When my iPad is asleep and the screen is black, I can see the "watermarks" if I look at the iPad on an angle. I see no "watermarks" at all otherwise.
    Surely you cannot expect to have the same retina clarity if you use a screen protector, but my screen is still very clear and crisp even with the built in screen protector. Take the screen protector off of the iPad screen. That's overkill and you are ruining the view of the display that way.
    Just my two cents ....

  • Screen Protector from **** (How to remove it?)

    Hello. I have used more-thing crystal screen protector, that came with More-Thing Para Collection (clear) Case. One the next day i decide to remove it, but all edges of Screen Protector was gone, even cutout for the front camera is gone. I've tried to use scotch, needle and other things to remove Screen Protector, but nothing works. Could you give me an advice, how to remove more-thing crystal screen protector?

    Are you even sure the screen protector is still on it? Sounds like it isn't from your description.

  • After cleaning screen with iKlear, air bubbles appeared...

    The other night I cleaned my macbook's screen with iKlear solution. After I cleaned it I noticed about 20 very small air bubbles that had formed on the screen. When you rub the iKlear cleaning cloth over the screen you can distinctly hear the sound that air bubbles make when you move something over them...I know for a fact that this is not dirt/saliva on the screen.
    This isn't a huge problem for me but these bubbles are noticable at certain angles which gets annoying.
    Anyone have the same problem or have sugestions on how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks!
    -Isaac

    The bubble's disapeared somehow...still not sure what happened

  • Best Crystal Clear screen protector ?

    Im looking a really good screen protector that is clear and you cant not notice there is a protector on the screen and also PROTECTS it from scratches and stuff?

    I have used the PowerSupport Crystal protectors for both my iPhones and iPads and love them both. Easy to use and clean with a plain cloth.

  • Clear coat update :D (recommended screen protector)

    k guys so i had a thread earlier where i was ranting about my bumper peeling my screen protector off (i have clear coat) so i took it back to the mall i got it done..and they fixed it for free
    and btw clearcoat now has a cut out for the front camera..but i think it doesnt look as good and that it used to look better when the screen protector went over the front camera..because now u can tell theres a screen protector there. so im letting it dry and will try again with my bumper.
    but i definetely recommend clear coat screen protector because it feels so nice and u can get it replaced free.

    I personally wouldn't give you 10 cents for a Zagg Invisible Shield.  It destroys the screen quality/graphics on your Ipad 2.  I bought one at Best Buy for $34.98 and I paid $14.99 for them to put it on.  They did an excellent job putting it on, but the first thing I noticed was how grainy the picture was...it had tiny pink, blue and yellow dots.  I was told this is what every "anti-glare" screen protector looks like.  I left it on there for 4-5 days and I just hated it....but since I spent $50 for it, I hated to take it off, but I couldn't stand how my screen looked. I took it off and my graphics are what they should be again!!! I have 2 desktop pc's, 2 laptops and an Iphone, so I certainly didn't need another internet device, The main reason I wanted an Ipad 2 because the graphics are phenomenal.  The other advantages like it being lighter and smaller and than a laptop were an added benefit for me.  Now I'm looking for a clear screen protector to put on my IPad.  I've never heard of the clear coat that wraps around the whole IPad.  I'm going to see if there's anyone around my area that's doing that!

  • IPad 2 Screen Protector vs. Clear Coat

    I just bought an iPad 2 and purchased a leather case for it as well. I am looking for a screen protector. I was at Best Buy and noted all the protectors they have, much similiar to what's out there for the iPhone. Preferably, I'd like something I can have the store put on for me.
    I was at the mall and came across a Clear Coat vendor. It's a clear protector that actually wraps the whole iPad for $30-40. And it has a lifetime warranty. It looks good and protects like any other protector. Does anyone have any experience with this product?
    My main inquiries are does the coating decrease the touchpad sensitivity or the brightness/quality of the screen? And could it be taken off if down the road I wanted to replace it or get rid of it? The salesman says yes, they can even replace it if it gets too scratched up. I'm interested in this option, but also not sure if I should go with something easier to take off if I don't like.

  • Screen Protector Reccomendations

    Hi,
    I plan on buying an iPad and am looking for a few recommendations for simple clear screen protector.
    I am going to be buying either the Switcheasy Nude or the Incipio Feather case that both come with clear screen protectors but if there are any with great recommendations that are sold separately i will most likely get one.
    I DO NOT want one with that spray on applicator stuff, id ideally like one of the static ones similar to the iphone ones that used to be sold in apple stores.
    Thanks

    I ordered a matte screen protector from Clarivue directly from their website. Application is similar to Power Support with protective removable plastic sheets on the front and back of the protector, which makes it more rigid and therefore easier to apply. I am very happy with this protector since it dramatically reduces glare and fingerprints, and does not affect sensitivity of the touch screen. It does slightly reduce screen clarity, but I got used to it after about a week.
    Although i really like the Invisible Shield on my iPod Touch, the Clarivue and Power Support protectors are much easier to apply on the large iPad screen and the matte versions cut down on more glare and fingerprints.

  • Are there any cons to using a screen protector?

    Hi. I'm going to be getting an Apple smart case for my new Ipad Mini today at Best Buy and wonder if I should also get a screen protector?. I've been using it without one for 5 days and like the feel of it. I know a protector would keep the screen pristine, however on my Iphone 4S it seems to diminish the display by slightly blurring it. I'm using my Mini mostly for Ibooks. The other concern I have is trusting whether BB will get it on the device right but I would not want to try myself (too worried I would make a mistake!) Thanks for your guidance and loving my Mini. Missy

    I was considering the same thing when I bought my iPad Air. I really enjoy using the iPad with no cover/case at all. The way Apple designed it. The cool aluminum and smooth glass. I understand you on those points. The same can be said for the iPhone. I have both a case and screen protector on my iPhone. I can remove the case, not the screen protector. Those aren't made to install and remove repeatedly.
    I'd prefer not to use a screen protector because of how it blurs the screen but also because it affects the "feel" of the screen. Gone is the silky smooth feeling of the glass. I got a scratch on an iPhone screen once and use a screen protector now. I carry the iPhone with me 24/7 so it needs more protection.
    My iPad Air is a different story. I also bought it at BestBuy and use it for iBooks quite a bit too! I use the new iPad Air SmartCase to protect it but haven't installed a screen protector. I haven't installed one because the screen is only vulnerable while I'm using it and is protected by the case while I carry it. I like how the display looks and feels without the screen protector on.
    The good news is, if you decide to install a screen protector, you can easily remove it if you change your mind. I hope this helps...

  • Steinheil screen protectors

    I got tired of waiting for Power Support to be released so I decided to try the Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear screen protectors. I have to say they are great!. They are a bit softer than Power Support and hence a little tougher to get on straight and bubble free but the end result is pretty awesome. They really are crystal clear. What I like most about them is that they do not mess with the clarity of the Retina display as the cheapo films do. When the display is lit, you really can't tell it's there. The fit is good- lines up nice. There is no cut out for the front facing camera, but the pics we took to test this all look the same. They come packaged with a microfiber cloth and squeegee and cost $13.99 for a pack of 2. They also have a bunch of other types that might be interesting to check out such as Oleophobic anti oil, and full body protective sets. Maybe next time, but for now these will do fine.

    Also have the sgp screen protector. Ultra clear crystal for the front and the carbon fiber one for the back. I must agree. These are ultra clear and are a perfect match. I don't have a cut out for the ff camera either. I can fit my bumper over the phone w/o worrying about lifting up the edges like on some of the other screen protectors that I have read about. All in all I think this may be the best one for the buck. Advice on ordering though. Priority shipping took just as long as the other option which I believe was express mail. If you can't wait the 3-5 days that shipping takes through their cheapest option just go with priority which is like 6 and change. I ordered mine first on a Monday through their fastest shipping method and then ordered my stepsons on a Wednesday through priority and both arrived on Friday. Go figure!!!

  • Any one try Perfect-Fit Screen Protectors?

    Wondering if anyone has tried a "Perfect-Fit Technologies" HD/Clear screen protector on their iPhone 5? They claim to have a almost "fool-proof" application system. I have had rotten luck with screen protectors in general, so I'm just a little skeptical.

    Are these PSP screen protectors like the peel off protector that comes on the Ipod? My case I ordered should be here next week, but I want to keep the peel off protector on, but it is getting ready to fall off. I really don't want my screen to get scratched.
    Can these PSP screen protectors be bought anywhere, like Best Buy or Circuit City?

  • Are there any screen protectors that feel as smooth/slippery as the iPad Mini screen?

    I'm looking for a screen protector that feels as smooth/slippery as the normal iPad Mini screen. The screen feels really nice, especially for games, I'd like to keep it as is but I'm afraid of getting it scratched. This is my first Apple device so I apologize if this has been asked before. Thanks!
