Ok so I bought the 16$ two pack screen protector from T-mobile, and when applying there were hairs all over it already! So I took it off, and tried to remove the hairs and that made things worse, I also had the same issue for my other one. Is there any way possibly I could get those hairs removed without doing anything involving water? Because It'd be a waste of money to not be able to use them!
I would get a lint remover for clothing and take a sheet off and apply it to the screen protector and peel it off. I do this to remove dust on screen protectors so I can re-use them. Pretty handy.

I received my screen protector today and proceeded to use the steamy bathroom method to put it on. No good, dust was still flying around like crazy. I had my screen going on but half way through a gigantic piece of dust flew under the screen. Using the provided stickers i tried to sticky it away... it added more dust. I accidentally dropped the second half the protector and now the entire thing is stuck on my screen and I can't remove it for the life of me. I'm getting really frustrated right now... anybody know how i can easily remove the screen protector?
Try to slide something thin under the protector that is unable to scratch your phone. Like a part of the plastic film that came with the protector. Once you get under there you'll be able to get it off.
Good luck
Use a toothpick to pry it open if you havent already...
Get some fat sellotape or packaging tape & apply it to a corner on the face of the screen protector, then gently lift the tape & screen protector away from the phones screen.
Watch this for how to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ96FLK_UTc&feature=youtube_gdata_player,

hmm.. try Goo Gone??
wow thats one strong adhesive you got on that piece of protector!! ive done several installs for my friends and i never made a perfect one had to use the provided stickers to get some dust out and realign it.. never had issue from pulling it apart.. probably the steam added more to the adhesion ? just like water in the middle of 2 sheets of glass..
I had the exact same issue and ended up wasting the 2 protectors i boutght from ebay.
I tried to use every tape I could find at home and then ended up using some strong sctoch clear packaging tape and I actully tried more then 20 times (no joke) and ended up taping the whole screen protector to be able to remove it.
I ended up using a anti glare one I bought from a local shop and the install was much easier but quality not the same at all.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up using a cardboard card (the tags from clothes) and slid it against the edge of the protector till I got enough force to push up the protector. It seems the rigidity of the ultra crystal protector makes it much harder to take off.
If anyone gets a nice clear edge to edge of entire glass screen protector please share link.
I don't want the ones you apply with water because over time adhesive attracts dust & dirt.
EZGUARDZ go edge-to-edge, and can be applied w/o water. However, they suggest (and I followed) using water to get a clean set up.

down8: thanks ordered one exactly what I was looking for...
KRAZYADROIDMASTER: thanks but no those mirror ones drive me crazy.
I'm wondering how the dry apply will do over time. The curved glass is making me wait and definitely consider a wet apply instead.
Please post how these are when you get them.
I have a ClearFreak. Edge to Edge w/ water application, but super easy. Just google clearfreak and you will find it. They also make a clear protector for the back if you don't want a case.
Try seidoonline.com under lg optimus 2x. Can't wait untill the cases are available!

I ordered the Seido Crystal Clear Screen protector. It looks like it is going to cover the entire screen. I have had great success with their products in the past, so I am hoping for some good results with this. It is currently being shipped, so I am hoping to have it by the end of the week.

I ordered the ghost armor one and it works awesome. They give you two.

So does PhantomSkinz. Gave me 2 full sets of body shields that covers all the aspects on the phone. It says to use water but I never do, came out nice and clean.
The one from skinomi is edge to edge too

I asked for a screen protector that doesn't use water. I ordered EZGUARDZ because down8 brought it up. It was $3.99 free shipping comes with 5 pcs.
I tried first piece dry, did not look good was not clear no matter how much you work it out with a little rubber squeegee. Took it off, threw 1st piece away and used 2nd piece with a water spray bottle i had from a past zagg shield install.
Once it dried next day it looked really good, no orange peel look like zagg shield back then... i'll rock it until i find a dry static cling because dry static cling has superb clarity, you can't even tell it's on the phone.
I'm sure this EZGUARDZ over time will attract lint and dust over time on it's edges. I have a rubber silicone case over it so it may help with lint/dust.
Do we really need one? Isn't it Gorilla Glass?

Gorilla Glass just means it's resistant to scratches, not invincible.

Thanks for posting that. It seems like we won't be able to get a perfect screen protector LOL. Dry ones are the best, I agree, but the curved edges make it difficult. And even if the wet apply ones do apply better they will attract dust around the edges.
I guess it's all trade-offs.
i wish i hadn't bought the ones from tmobile they have a smudge resistant finish it makes it very hard to read through

I ordered these, received them only to realize it does NOT cover the curves sides of the screen. It is not Edge to Edge screen protection. Just an FYI. I was looking for Edge to Edge.
read that its bad to do this after i already did it. i did it because i had a screen protector on there, one of those adhesive kinds and it left a sticky residue on the screen so i tried using alcohol to get it off but i couldn't. i heard they have some anti oil surface on these touch screens that gets damaged by alcohol? So is my new phone screwed by the alcohol and how do i get this sticky stuff off.
This is kind of off topic, but Copenhagen snuff ruined my G2x's screen. It took me a few days to figure out where the spot came from. You couldn't really see it until you held it a certain way. It almost looked like a waxy film. So, never touch gorilla glass with copenhagen on your fingers, or never clean your screen with 95% alcohol.

So, have you found out what is OK to use? That's only on the protector? (which I don't use). Is it OK to use directly on the glass?

I took out the screen protector because it was interfering with the touch screen and use the alcohol on the glass haven't used any other cleaner water is good enough I guess
I used eye glass cleaner before putting on my screen protector
this stuff is pretty amazing too http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Guard-Foam-Cleaning-Spray/dp/B0012YCTZM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8 makes it even more smudge/fingerprint resistant even without a protector
will that get rid of the sticky stuff left from the screen protector? i mean i tried alcohol and that didnt even work
It should get rid of it and reapply an invisible protective smudge-resistant coat...what kind of protector did you use? The T-Mobile ones are static adhesive...

Hey guys my dad recently bought me an original htc screen protector..i haven't opened it yet and i want to know if it good or bad for the phone...any damage that can do to the screen for example if the glue melt..also the sense of touch?will be much worse???i want your opinions please
i'm using one, at first it will feel like your thumb sticks and hard to swipe, but that's just because its new. after that it will feel as if you're touching your actual screen again. i recommend you use it. i know the sensation has corning gorilla glass, but that didn't stop some little scratches from getting onto my screen.
i didn't get what you meant by "glue"...as it's not glue, it's just some sort of a magnetized sheath, i don't know what it's called exactly. so if you didn't want the screen protector anymore, it's pretty easy to take off. no worries.
Thanks i will try it

No screen protector, no case. It's how phones were designed to be used.
most screen protector don't have glue on it. because of sensation curvy glass, you will get bubble at the four corners.
so you'll be better of with the one with glue. later if you need to change it, just use damp cloth to wash off the glue.

Actually with some practice you can reduce the bubbles, I only have one tinnny one of the top right curved part of the screen.
As for screen protectors as a general they are useful, the second I stuck one on the loved the feel of the screen and still do. However make sure you get a good brand, my current one is fill of scratches and then as I use my phone some grease or oil whatever it is gets into the cracks and then it all turns to ***t.

I like my phones like I like my women! All natural baby!!!
Personally i don't feel like those screen protectors are needed, just a case for any sorts of scratches, screen or not and you can keep your hands busy with the case
Hi personally I use Skinomi, its self healing, Lifetime guarantee, crystal clear, and a LOT Less expensive than Zagg , I do the wet install. Dries without streaking or bubbles ! It's amazing. Tough but made for touchscreen. Does not interfere with sensitive touchscreen. I really love the fact it's self healing because if you get a scratch, it heals right up and you cannot see it anymore! This screen protector is long lasting ! Best protector I've ever tried! I think protectors Are great because this device is expensive and one slip or mistake and it CAN get scratched! It's worth protecting your device! Because scratches WILL happen and is its best to scratch protector rather than the device! I think you will love SKINOIMI! Just follow the directions provided. I was amazed at the quaility of this product. Also the price is right! I think you tube has a video of installation if you like to watch. I'll never use anything but Skinomi Again! Highly recommend this product!

There's a red speck of dust/dirt on my BSE Front protector (Haven't got a clue how the speck of dirt/dust is red ) and I haven't got a clue how to remove it. I've tried washing it using water and washing-up liquid (Dish soap) but it just won't budge. How can I get it off without damaging the screen protector? I really don't want to have to get a replacement/send it back/buy a new one over a speck of dust.
piece of tape usually does the trick.. but it sounds like you went pretty hard on it. are you sure it's not under the protective peel-off layers?
Happen to me once too!
Gave the screen protector a run under water doesnt get it off either..
I conclude that the piece of dust was glue on the adhesive itself
I email them and gave them a picture and they just gave me a new one..

Yeah, once you get dust on the adhesive side of the BSE, you're pretty much screwed. Emailing support will probably net you a new one.
You really have to try to apply them in a low dust area because the tape thing doesn't work with wet apply protectors the way it does with dry ones.
Take it off carefully without stretching it and wash it under water and reapply it worked great when I had dust under my screen protector
