[The Bodyguardz] Tips & Techniqus !!! Pls. feel free to share your experience here: )
Hi guys,
I presented you a little tips & techniques on how to install the Bodyguardz. : )
Any body here using the Bodyguardz? Mostly I saw you guys talking bout the
Invisible shield. I know some of you are using the Bodyguardz right?
I got it a couple of days ago and installed it, now it's all dry up and
ready to use! I'll show you guys some pics of the result.
Overall, the installation processes took me about 5 hrs (a bit slow right?
I just did it step by step slow and clam LoL~) I want to share you guys
some tips here. (If you guys considering to apply the Bodyguardz I suggest
you to carefully read the whole manual inside the box first. )
The following tips is not included in the manual. I hope you guys find
it useful in some ways. : )
- I did this in my kitchen just beside the stove's top (weird right? Some
people did this in a bathroom) and then I boiled the water with a large size pan
on a high temperature. The reason of all these is to generate a steam!
In order to limited the movement of all the dusts! so that when we're installing
the Bodyguardz the steam can help reduced the chance of any dusts appeared
under the Bodyguardz and the screen. (BUT shame on me, finally I got
1-2 very tiny eyebrows on the screen... Anyway, luckily that it's not on
the center of the screen! LoL~) One more thing, I also took the battery
out before I applied the Bodyguardz.
- After I applied the front part, I left it dry for about an hour. Then the back
part with a little use of palm technique on each of the corners. (I guess you
guys already know the palm technique right?) The back part is a bit
tricky though.
Now, the rear part. Overall the T-mobile TP2 has 9 pieces
of the rear part. Those rear pieces that stick to the upper part of the phone
(the screen half) is pretty easy. But those rear pieces that stick to the
lower part of the phone (the key board half) required huge!
amount of patience because of those little slope that lean toward the back cover.
(so be cool guys )
So now you got all pieces of the Bodyguardz on your phone right?
Then I left lied down for 30 mins, then I used the palm technique
for the next 45 mins. (all over)
Then here comes the trick! I suggest you guys to use the 'Cling Wrap'
(like the one wrapping your sandwiches LoL~) to wrap the whole phone.
Tightly wrap the phone by focused on those corners and edges.
Moreover, I used the clear sticky tape to taped those corners and edges
again to forced those corners, edges and rear pieces down. (use the tape on the Cling Wrap not on the Bodyguardz)
All these is to keep those corners and edges stick to the phone.
Then I left it over night. Now your phone will look like a Mummy!!!
By the end of the next day I cut big hole on the front plastic wrap
to let it breath a bit.
By the next morning I took the whole wrap things out.
And everything is perfect! From now on, no scratches on my phone!
Finally, I can stop worry about the scratches issue.
Feel free to use the above techniques. (BUT IF ANY DAMAGE OCCURRED
TO YOUR PHONE, I'LL NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY.)
If you guys already know about those tricks I must apologize for
posting something that you guys already know.
If any of you have any further tips and techniques then you are more than
welcome to share them here.
Cheers!
Looks good, I have a set coming in for my TP2 and Zune HD. Your tips should come in handy. Thanks
I have it on my phone now. i wouldn't have any other screen cover on my phone. its not the easiest to install but its worth the stress. let me tell you a blower dryer makes it 10 times easier.
thing that piss me off was i got to pieces of lint stuck under the protector and i didnt notice it until it was completely dry.
i would reccomend this 100 percent. the customer service is also excellent. i had a bodyguardz on my g1 and couldnt be more happy. you also get life time replacements.

I'm totally agree with you about their customer service.
They're very nice.
be sure to check there twitter page before you order they have promo codes posted there sometimes. im bout to use my second set already corners came lose already for me.
Looks great on your Tmobile, but if you have a VERIZON TP2, you DO NOT want a Bodyguardz. The one they sent me has a front facing camera cutout for the screen protector. It's going back on Monday.
I'm going to order the Ghost Armor protector, which was specifically made for Verizon.
I Just put this one last night on my TMO Tp2 - its by far better then the zagg/bestskings , No finger drag.. Also the wrap method is a great idea, helps get rid of moisture and made the install near perfect (not completly because I just wasn't steady enough to get it perfectly aligned) but good enought.

Hey there!
The palm technique is how you pressed those edges and corners (or any other
parts) against your palm firmly about like 1 min I supposed... or longer if you
if you want, let the heat from your palm send through to the Bodyguardz
in order to forced those edges and corners down.
Cheers

dude you probably ordered the wrong one. if the one you ordered didnt specifically say for verizon then you got the wrong one. they have great customer service, id reccomend calling them and asking for a verizon version instead. not zure if they have a verizon one out yet though.
@ what150. Great job on the protector install. One of the better installs I have seen. But 5 hours? Man, I don't have the patience for that. I used the method of what another guy had mentioned in here, the hair dryer helped me speed things up a lot more. But I still took my time when applying the protector to the device. A hurry up rush job will get you an ugly install. I learned that from a G1 install about a year ago.
Once again, props to you for a clean install.

็ำัLoL~ Thanks man, but I didn't spend 5 hours in front of the phone
Though, I spent a lot of time using my palm pressed against those edges and curves. (While, I watched the movie...)
I'm not sure about the hair dryer cuz I heard that it's not the best way to do it.
(I'm not sure whether I read those from the Bodyguardz website, or from its Youtube videos.) But, I may be wrong! may be it's better to speed things up a bit
Cheers
@ greatbrit
Nice find! 20% off is a good bargain.
Actually, Bodyguardz reccommends a blowdryer on the cool or low setting in 5 second intervals to speed up the process. I did just that and it turned out great.

Screen Sensitivity?
Is there any noticeable loss of screen touch sensitivity-- do you have to press harder, etc., with the Bodyguardz protector?
I just received a set of these -- screen only -- but haven't yet installed it... Now that Boxwave will soon (Oct 9) have a screen protector available for the TMo TP2, Bodyguardz aren't my only option that fits, so I was just wondering...

I thought it was one of the easier protectors to apply, and it looks and feel great
So anyone got the Verizon version of the bodyguardz yet? How does it look and does everything line up good?

so i email them this
Hi
I'm very interested in a getting a "invisibleSHIELD" for my new phone the HTC hero. The problem is as i can see you only have a "Screen Coverage" option.
So i would love to know when if ever you're going to add a "Full Body Coverage" for a HTC Hero.
thanks my Name
BTW if you reply can you please not just say somethink such as "thanks of you blaa blaa bla and we are looking into it", i like somethink with an answer,
So an reply with an answer (e.g. yes, no, yes on the 3rd, were make it)

Hello Harry,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are Zealous About Great Gadgets! My name is Stephen and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
We had a device in our office when we created the design last week. The reason why we only offer the front screen is because when we placed the invisibleSHIELD on the back, it peeled the paint. We are doing more testing on it, because the device we received was a dummy so we want to make sure with the actual device. We do not have a time frame of when we will have that testing done, because the device is expensive, it will take awhile to figure it out if it is necessary or not.
I do apologize for the inconvenience as it is not the answer you were hoping for. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG. We appreciate your business!
All the best,

and all i can say is Where the f is this paint it's made of metal and rubber (i have one and i fell NO paint)
anyway this may help someone
the white version is coated with teflon which is the current slippiest substance known to man. I got a feeling that they might have trouble sticking stuff with contact glue.
yeah thats exactly what they told me. That they had tried to stick a shield but it would not work....
I actually saw some full body coverage on eBay but don't see it listed on the official Zagg site yet. So not sure if it's legit or not.
EDIT: My bad - the eBay listing isn't the ZAGG InvisibleShield, just a similar product by Clear Protector. URL: http://www.clearprotector.com/htc-hero-extended-protector.html

Cheers - I ordered the Clear Protector instead. Not a fan of Zagg IS.
I got a invisibleshield from zagg- hugely unimpressed. They are a nightmare to apply (literally hours), they *gain* air bubbles over time, the edge accumulates dust and dirt, and the adhesion clearly isnt that great- the top corner of mine has moved, crinkling that edge. Sure, nothing's going to get scratched but this is totally not worth it.
in its defense, it doesn't show smudges easily, which is nice. But thumbprints are just as bad as without the shield, making that more or less moot. I'm going to get a soft pouch instead and would reccomend the same to others.

Seconded, I got one for a friends LG Cookie not long ago and it was terrible, although it didn't take me long to put together it just didn't even seem like it was worth the money for what it did and made the phone feel too weird. Not too long after the edges started to peel, get a pouch.
Hi,
Recently I ordered the invisibleshield full body coverage (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-hero-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php) on zagg web site and didn't seen the warning about the paint:
Warning! If you have a painted HTC Hero, the invisibleSHIELD could peel the paint
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I own the white version of the Hero but I didn't know what they mean about "peel the paint"....
So I contacted them :
Question:
Hello,
Thanks for the reply but you don't answer my question. The fact is that there is a problem with the full coverage and the HTC Hero:
According to Zagg web site: "Warning! If you have a painted HTC Hero, the invisibleSHIELD could peel the paint"
So my question was more precise: will the painting be damaged by the full coverage on my htc hero (the white version)?
Best regards.

Answer:
Hello,

The warning is for those that customize or modify their HTC Hero with acrylic paint. The invisibleSHIELD will peel it, the warning does not state, it will peel the paint of the device. I hope that clears up any worries that you have, if you have any other concerns, feel free to contact us again.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG. We appreciate your business!
All the best,

Well....I think it's a weird answer because I'd never heard about that kind of customization and because the warning only concern the hero
Anyone think (like me...) that it's not safe for the teflon (and not for the acrylic paint as supposed by zagg...), to use the full body coverage according to the warning ?
I applied the Zagg 'full cover' to my Hero last night, it was dead easy to apply, but I'm rather unimpressed with the design. They go to great lengths on the website to stress how the IS wraps around the device keeping it safe, but not on the Hero, the edges - the bits that are going to be the most susceptible to chipping and knocking - are left uncovered.
It hadn't occured to me before I applied it, but I hope the screen doesn't become too 'tacky' to glide a finger across, as that would rather defeat the object of a touchscreen!
Applied my clear protector last night (screen only, didn't apply the back film) and I must say I am impressed with the slickness of the material's texture - in comparison to the Zagg I.S. it is a lot smoother when sliding your finger/thumb across it. One thing though is that Zagg I.S. is cut a lot better than the Clear Protector but it's not too bad. If I was going to choose between the two, I'd definately go for Clear Protector.

what do you mean? The invisible shield doesnt provide a full coverage of the phone? I am still deciding between clear protector and invisible shield.
I also have a clear protector.
At first I wasnt too impressed. The cut on the screen is around 1mm too small along each edge, and a few mm short in length on the rear.
Althought after a few days it has grown on me and seems a part of the phone, phone has lost its smooth touch on rear case, but the protector is very protective!!! I tried a knofe on it as they do on youtube vids. And it really does do a great job, shame it doesnt protect the edges where it would be likely to get damaged when dropped.
Just received an email from Clear-Coat today, who manufacture a similar product, saying that they now have a version for the Hero:
http://www.clear-coat.com/product.php?productid=616&cat=51&page=1
While I was waiting for the InvisibleSHIELD to arrive, I managed to scratch quite noticeably to the right of the speaker outlet (i.e. the metal panel just above the screen). My fault, fair enough. However, I was a bit disappointed when I received the shield as this little metal panel around the speaker is the ONLY area that no protection was supplied for at all.
I figured that I was just going crazy - why leave such an obvious place unprotected? Looking back at zagg.com, it's actually reasonably clear from the picture of the Hero on their page so my fault for not researching properly.
Maybe the shield can't stick to the metal but it's a bit of a shame.... I also have an InvisibleSHIELD for my BlackBerry Bold and was quite impressed that in addition to the big chunks of shield for the larger areas like the back and screen, little bits of cover were supplied basically to make sure as much as possible of the whole body and frame is covered. It also seems a better fit than the Hero shield - adding to a previous comment, it's not quite as good a fit as I was hoping.
I also have the Zagg Invisble shield, but the metal parts are uncovered.
For me it is important to protect the whole phone. That's why I buy the full body. But they have left de metal parts uncovered! And that for $25
For those who are looking for the invisibleShield for their T-mobile Touch Pro 2, I contacted Rob from ZAGG (see link below):

UPDATE:
I finally received my invisibleSHIELD the other day. Past by my local kiosk that does the professional install. After 1 hour give or take I went back to the store. Right away the store attendant told me it looked sharp and I had to agree with him. To my surprise it looked better than I thought. I purchased the full body protection and it pretty much wrap the entire body. The kit fits almost perfectly on every curve and holes. The mocha color has a glaze look to it like a coat of glaze you would apply on wood. He told me I shouldn't put it in my pocket or place it in any case for at least 24-48 hours, letting the process take place and reduce the lint and dust. During the first 24 hours, it did felt the rubbery feel to it. It felt awkward at first. However after my first 24 hours, that rubbery feel disappeared / less noticeable. Not sure if I got use to it or it takes a while for the product to settle. Now waiting for ProClip to release its device holder for the T-Mobile version.
Comparison: Screen Protector that came with my HTC Rhodium vs. invisibleSHIELD - no comparison. After couple of days with the stock, there were visible signs of scratches from my nail and stylus. invisibleSHIELD - none. The only thing that the stock has over the invisibleSHIELD is that it was more flush and didn't have any major gap. I can't complain.
Overall: I'm happy with it and I don't have to worry about it getting scratched or dent with the full body kit.
I would strongly advise not getting an invisibleshield. My friend bought one and its not really touch screen friendly. Its very squishy (for lack of a better description) and when using the stylus and or finger on the screen you finger/ stylus gets stuck, almost sticky like. The screen does not react to many of the screen taps or slides.
My friend hated it so much he had to replace it with a generic screen protector (but he kept the rest of the body on.)
Try the Bodyguardz, they're somewhat similar but they are much more responsive and easier to deal with, and you get 2 sets with each one-
http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/57---2007.htm
I'm waiting for bestskinsever.com to get it. I've been using them ever since I had my Blackberry Curve 8320 and I think they are the best. Works great and without any problems with touch screen devices, I have it on my iPod Touch.
As of right now I'm using the piece of crap one that came with the phone. Got a few scratches on it already, I mean as long as it keeps my screen safe then I don't care.
same here and i hate the one that came with it.
I tried an InvisibleShield on my TP2 last week. It went on easy enough with just a few bubbles that slowly dissipated over a few days, but it is definitely not touch screen friendly - using your stylus with it feels like dragging the stylus through treacle.
Luckily it came off easily enough too....

They also give you two sets with each box, nice if you mess up (like I seem to always do lol).
Anybody tried the Bodyguardz protector? I'm loathe to spend more money on something that looks practically the same...

Hello Scotty,
We plan to add a Skin for the T-mobile Touch Pro2 to our lineup in the future. At this time we don't have an exact availability date to offer. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your interest. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We look forward to serving you in the future.

I'm waiting for bestskinsever as well. I just noticed last night that i have minor scuffs that you can't really see on my screen unless you look under a light. I tried to install the original screen protector & it just didn't want to go on.
Oh well.
Bodyguardz...... I have the screen protector and its great!!! "the one that came with it"? I looked at that for a second (us tmo) and it only looked like an template to me...lol
Did you guys buy the full protector or just the screen protector from bodyguardz? How's the full version? Does it fit well?
Hello, I found one that works well. It is from www.clearprotector.com I bought the entire phone protector and am very impressed. I did have to use a heat gun to shrink the edges a little on the battery cover, but that was because I did not align it very well As for the screen, it did feel a little on the sticky side for the first week, but as of now I cant hardly notice it and I personally dont feel that it had made the screen any less responsive. Overall a good investment vs. a beat up phone.

I have also tried the invisable shield. It is a great product...but not for touch screen devices. You have to oil the screen to get your fingers to slide, LOL. I took it all off except for the back cover protection and went back to the factory screen protector till one comes out that "FITS" and works with touch screens

It's not "oil", it's distilled water with a TINY amount of Baby Shampoo in it.

He is saying the surface of the protector is much more "grabby" then the oem protector or protector's like Boxwave and Martin Fields. It is much harder to slide your finger with these types (body guardz, zagg, etc...)
I got news for you, Bestskinsever uses the same material as the zagg stuff.. I ordered a universal cut your own kit. Its just as sticky as Zagg (which I have also owned before)..
So sounds like body guardz is also the same material, yes?
Hello all. I have been waiting for SGP to make the crystal screen protector for the prime. While browsing for accessories I came across this promising prospect. This screen protector is not made by SGP but it way be worth your consideration. This brand is advertised as Armor Suit. I am going to order mines now and will provide and update on its use.

Instruction Video >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFHy6o_VRwI
Link to activate lifetime warranty >>> http://www.armorsuit.com/warranty/
Update 2-11-2012
I received mine yesterday at work. As soon as I got home I opened the package and applied the new screen protector. The instructions recommend keeping the tablet off for about 24 hours after application before use. I did miss one part of the instructions which says to wet both sides of the screen protector. Make sure you do this because it will help you remove the liquid and bubble better with the rubber card. It has been over 12 hours since the application and it is curing nicely. I still have about 10 tiny wet bubbles that I am hoping will dry out before I say that it is perfect. One thing I did notice when I removed by prime from its folio case is that I had a tiny scratch a quarter of an inch up above the Asus logo. I was very upset about that because I handle my tablet like a baby, unless somehow the scratch was caused my the inside material of the case. Anyways, the good thing about this screen protector is that now you can no longer see the scratch. If this continues to cure like I hope it does, I will order another one for my girlfriends prime. Did I mention that wifi and GPS performance also improved after the application ??? Lol jk. The screen did lose a little of its smooth glide when swiping with your finger but that should improve over time. Touch response has been the same otherwise. I will provide an update in a couple of days once it has cured some more. If any of you reading this have purchased and installed the product, please provided your experience. I would like to know if the quality is consistent.
***Important***
Just an FYI to those who use the keyboard dock and are considering installing this screen applicator, removing the prime in and out of the keyboard dock is extremely tight and is marking up the screen protector film where the dock and screen meet.

Hello all. I have been waiting for SGP to make the crystal screen protector for the prime. While browsing for accessories I came across this promising prospect. This screen protector is not made by SGP but it way be worth your consideration. This brand is advertised as Armor Suit. I am going to order mines now and will provide and update on its use.

looking forward to your update! only problem i have with their listing on amazon is that i says its non sticky, but also says its self healing... i sell screen protectors in a sprint store. from my experience, the self healing ones tend to be the orange peels and rubbery (sticky) kind. but if im wrong, please let me know! interested in this!

Will do, I received my order confirmation last night. Standard shipping so maybe sometime next week I will have it.
Lifetime warranty means you'll ruin 5 of them just trying to install them! This is why right now I'm not wearing a condom on my Prime. If I can't get the perfect screen protector on there perfectly then I just won't do it at all. I'm fairly careful with the front and I may eat my words one day.
Mine should be here today thanks to prime shipping I will give my feedback on this protector later this afternoon
Ok abit of an update, just installed the protector first impressions are this
Install was the best ive done in about 10 protector installs over the years, protector comes off the backing with very little pull, enough solution that i was able to wet my fingers twice and soak the adhisive side and front side well enough that it only took one attemt to postion the protector to the screen and boom it was done after a little squgiing with the rubbery card they give you, i had 3 tiny bubbles that came out easily then 2 slightly smaller bubbles along the top rim that im just gonna have to wait out till tomorrow
So so far im enjoying it, havnt noticed any imperfections, cut outs were extremely accurate now to just wait
Edit: The feels exactly like the screen if not a bit smoother at the moment not sure if this will remain but its pretty slick at the moment

Sending a thanks your way for your update. Later this afternoon I still had a couple of bubbles that I was to impatient on waiting to see if they would dry out and disappear so I decided to apply some of the solution on top of the surface and opted to use a credit card to push out the remaining bubbles (I did not like using the included rubber applicator much.) One Important item that I did not realize until now is that getting the tablet to dock with this screen protector is really, really tight. This may be a deal breaker for some. I don't use the keyboard dock all the time but it looks like the constant swap will make the screen protector look a little beat up at the bottom...

If it's clear and not matt, hows the anti fingerprint part of it working out?
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
It seems to resist printing fairly well, I'd say it really only has showed them with hard swipes of the finger such as maybe playing fruit ninja for abit but just normal presses it rarely leaves one

Update 2-11-2012
I received mine yesterday at work. As soon as I got home I opened the package and applied the new screen protector. The instructions recommend keeping the tablet off for about 24 hours after application before use. I did miss one part of the instructions which says to wet both sides of the screen protector. Make sure you do this because it will help you remove the liquid and bubble better with the rubber card. It has been over 12 hours since the application and it is curing nicely. I still have about 10 tiny wet bubbles that I am hoping will dry out before I say that it is perfect. One thing I did notice when I removed by prime from its folio case is that I had a tiny scratch a quarter of an inch up above the Asus logo. I was very upset about that because I handle my tablet like a baby, unless somehow the scratch was caused my the inside material of the case. Anyways, the good thing about this screen protector is that now you can no longer see the scratch. If this continues to cure like I hope it does, I will order another one for my girlfriends prime. Did I mention that wifi and GPS performance also improved after the application ??? Lol jk. The screen did lose a little of its smooth glide when swiping with your finger but that should improve over time. Touch response has been the same otherwise. I will provide an update in a couple of days once it has cured some more. If any of you reading this have purchased and installed the product, please provided your experience. I would like to know if the quality is consistent.
***Important***
Just an FYI to those who use the keyboard dock and are considering installing this screen applicator, removing the prime in and out of the keyboard dock is extremely tight and is marking up the screen protector film where the dock and screen meet. I am going to contact the manufacturer about this to see if they are aware of this issue...

That's understandable. This is my first time using a wet screen protector. I wasn't concerned about damaging the prime because I have the accidental protection plan.
Do you have to pay for the replacements? I know most of these "lifetime replacement" types you have to pay $5-$10 just to get them to mail you a new one.

aww thanks dood! i totally forgot about the protection plan! did you go through squaretrade?
back on topic: went with an Acase matte anti glare, dry install. took literally over an hour to get it perfect, but i did it. wish it woulda been easier, but im just too shy of the wet installs...
I'm looking for a top quailty anti-glare screen protector. I mainly want the anti-fingerprint part of it, but I like the matte screen look too. I had a Acase one on there, but the anti-fingerprint wasn't that great. I really wish Realook would come out with one for the Prime, b/c their's are awesome (have it on my phone). Realook (http://www.realook.us/dales_html/) has almost a textured feel to it, which is beyond awesome for keeping finger prints off. I have a email into them now to see if they plan on making one for the Prime.
I'm also thinking about NuSheild too:

I can tell you the armor suit does very well reducing finger prints. Your fingers glide smoothly across the screen. Now this is something I am going to try my best to describe, when typing ( I use thumb keyboard) you sort of get what feels like a slight rubber bounce with each press, I actually like that. Obviously its going to feel different then just typing on the glass but for me it works.
Tempered glass screen protectors. Anyone using them? I have put one on my iphone 5s and was really impressed. Found a no name brand and it worked well for $6. I can't pay alot for them. Goes against that sale instinct in me!
So it made me look for one for the mega. I had a cheap glare free plastic one on temporarily which was fine, but I wanted a glass one. Hard to find. Here's what I bought. $12.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111253895644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Put it on last nite. I used the hinged method, with an extra piece of tape on the free side for precise placement. It went on beautifully, but I thought I was sloppy cause I saw a fingerprint after application, and I was really mad at myself. But I was so meticulous, I couldn't believe it.
The more I worked with it, I saw it wasn't a fingerprint, but a portion of adhesion that didn't stick the size of a fingerprint. I worked it more, maybe the warmth of my fingers finally got it to adhere. So I was not sloppy afterall. If you have this problem, just give it a little time. I almost was tempted to lift it and clean, resisted the thought, and I was rewarded for my patience. It's a perfect application 8 hours later.
I'm a perfectionist.... Couldn't do it lol selling my mega anyways

I can never fit a screen protector without getting a bit of dust underneath it, I'd hate to do that with a glass one.

I have applied 2. the iphone was perfect, the mega ended up with 1 tiny speck of dust on the top- off the screen, in the black perimeter. It only bothers me cause I know it's there. lol. If you use the hinged method, with that extra piece on the free end, and use a tape roll on the screen (tape rolled around your finger with the sticky side out) after you clean it, and right before you peel stage 1 on the protector do it again, you should be good. There are some pretty inexpensive glass ones now available. No way would I try it with a $30 one. I paid $12 for the mega one and that was big $$ for me!! lol
I also hear if you put your screen saver on after someone showers in the steamy bathroom it cuts down on all the dust! (tip from G) I never resorted to this, wanting to be comfortable at a table that has been cleaned well.
you need to use the hinge method, with some tape on the side of the sceen protector/phone before you peel of the bottom part, but theres another trick i learned which i practice and lets me put a screen protector 100% perfect...
you do all this in the bathroom, before you do tho, you turn on the shower with hot water, and let the room get steamy.. picks up all the flying arrownd dust, and your screen protector will be 100% perfect.
try it on, thank me later.
I have one of the screen protectors, i can say they are awesome, they make your screen feel so buttery smooth, I bought the Glass.m one and i havent got any finger print mark or oil, or even dust applying it.

Absolutely!!! If you mess up the application, you chalk it up to experience. Although if you are careful, check out videos on youtube, and follow the tips here, you should be good for a terrific application! Just be mindful of dust. That's your worst enemy and will create bubbles. So dust proof all you can. I work on my kitchen table that has been dusted and windexed. dust off all my tools and use tape rolls. roll the tape around your finger and pretend you are removing dog hair. But it is invisible dust. Then go for it! I never tried the shower trick. I hear it really helps. but again, make sure the surface you are working on is really clean. Good luck!
I found mine on ebay. Amazon has them, but charges shipping.

Tepshine / PThink Glass Protector - Good!
Got this one for my i527 a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICZ4GE6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Went on very easily once I removed the hard shell case I had on the phone. Comes with moistened cleaning cloth and microfiber cleaning cloth and I didn't need to mess with hinging or scotch tape or anything else. Used both cloths to clean the screen and quickly applied the screen protector and NO TRAPPED DUST.
It's only been a few days, but no bubbles, no slipping, and everything seems to work with no lag. Even hovering still works.
-Z
just got mine from overseas for a whooping penny. Only problem is the button is sunk down a little bit. guess ill get use to it. putting it on is easy. you can lay it on and slip it around before you push on the middle to get it to set. mine came out perfect
Just be careful on where you get it, I got my first one and the glass got messed up from the cleaning I did and when I tried to get the lint hair out of the adhesive part of the screen it broke. Now on to my second glass (privacy shade) and the only defect is that it is a little too thick for touch response but it serves it's purpose (touch still responsive at times)

i have it on my Mega ( i9205 ) and i must say it saves the life of the screen. dropped it several times and only thing that breaks is the temperred glas so i ordered several times on ebay and apply goes easy, just clean the screen and see if the bottom and the top fits then drop it on the screen
it will apply by it self in a minute
then just gently push it till all ends are applied.
and to be sure use a hair dryer over it.
got my 3rd tempered glass now since 26-05-2014 and still no scratches/burst of something weird its just perfect.

You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.
Review
Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter
Symmetry

Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.

Sorry can't edit previous post.
Install done.....successful! The biggest part is applying the epoxy, it is very thin, almost like water. Slowly loosening the cap on the epoxy tube and leveling the puddle is crucial to success. So do it slowly and use cards to level the puddle before releasing the remainder of the ep oxy. Then make sure it flows to the entire screen and you are golden. This video with tips is golden.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you
P.S. We apologize for not being able to directly link our Facebook page. We have just started using xda to communicate with the public and we cannot post external links at this moment.

Thank you for the info! I am one guy so testing that many cases would have proved to be difficult for me. I have added your confirmed case along with a link to the video in the original post.

I'm sure all will go smoothly, don't be nervous, I was at first, but there absolutely is no reason to.

Sorry can't edit previous post.
Install done.....successful! The biggest part is applying the epoxy, it is very thin, almost like water. Slowly loosening the cap on the epoxy tube and leveling the puddle is crucial to success. So do it slowly and use cards to level the puddle before releasing the remainder of the ep oxy. Then make sure it flows to the entire screen and you are golden. This video with tips is golden.
Thanks[emoji2]

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you
P.S. We apologize for not being able to directly link our Facebook page. We have just started using xda to communicate with the public and we cannot post external links at this moment.

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.

Will there be replacement screen sets be available in the future? So glass, loca glue, alcohol pads and microfiber cloth? Since the curing light and rigg are re-useable it could means easy replacement at much lower cost.

Since the replacement kit is only 5$ cheaper than a new kit (on amazon) it might be easier to buy a complete kit and sell the uv light to a woman who wants to use it for her nails.
The replacement kit should not cost more than about 10$, imho

Do you have any plans to sell these on amazon UK at any point in the future? I really want to try one but would rather use Amazon to a third party site to ensure I get a genuine kit.

To anyone wanting to know the Mophie S8 and S8+ cases work great with this screen protector! I'll make a review video soon for it. The top of the case separates and you slide your phone in (no more plopping it in and out of a case hoping it doesn't touch the screen protector) then you slide the top down and it fits perfect. It's a 3300 MAH battery pack and from 25% with the phone on, it got me to 90% while I was using the phone. It also feels like it matches with the curvature of the phone. I recommend trying it out in store, as it is a bit heavier, but no where near as heavy as a ZeroLemon 10,000 MAH battery I had for the Note 4. Attached are some screenshots with the case and screen protector. Oh the speaker redirect to front is really nice too!
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:
Hi
I've bought one, but I mixed two align bars and now I don't know which align bar is for top and which is for the bottom. They are a little different. as you can see in pictures one has a small sticker attached to it at 45 degree angle while in the other one it is attached straight.
can anyone help to place these correctly?
If fitting this goes horribly wrong, or if the protector gets damaged in an accident later, how easy is it to remove it again after the glue has cured and will any residue be left on the screen?

Look at this video, this will answer your questions, it's very clear
It does seem to stick very well to your phone so that's good, I hate the usual (crappy) tempered glass protectors that only have glue on the sides... 1 "wrong" case and *pop* there it goes :/
has anyone try out the combination of spigen neo hybrid with the whitestone dome?
