Putting Screen Protector on Phone Without Air Bubbles

I suck at it also. I usually get a 3 pack and use up all 3 trying to get it right

Dust is the enemy, particularly the dust that you can't even see without a strong light. Do it in your bathroom. Turn on hot water, let it steam up. The steam helps get rid of airborne dust particles that tend to frick up a screen protector installation as they land on the screen.

To make the process quick, use the hinge method. Line up the screen protector over your phone. Put a couple of rubber bands tightly around your phone and the screen protector to make it easier to line up the cutouts. Then, making sure it's still aligned correctly, place 2 or 3 strips of tape on one side of the screen protector, attaching it to the phone to create a hinge. Remove rubber bands, do one last check/wipe for fingerprints and dust, peel off screen protector film, and apply. Squeegee the air bubbles.

If you can't get an air bubble out, it's probably because of a dust particle. You can carefully lift the screen protector and remove the dust particle with tape. I like to wrap some painters tape or scotch tape around the end of an ink pen, sticky side out, and use it to pick up dust particles from the screen without having to wipe it and create streaks. And the last thing you want to do is accidentally touch the underside of the screen protector with your skin.

Using the methods above, I get a perfect result every time.

Buy the thicker "ballistic" glass ones.

I don't use that crap.

glass is good

i also highly recommend moshi screen protectors. no air bubbles ever, it's thinner than glass and can be taken off and washed.. and then put right back on. it's amazing. use it for the ipad.. i know glass is best protection, but i don't feel i need it, i have other protection around the device any ways. plus the touch sensitivity is not changed whatsoever with this. got a used one on amazon warehouse in new condition for half the retail price too..
