Yes, it's quite simple once you figure it out. Make sure you place on as flat as possible and before you take the second protector film off smooth it down onto the screen slowly and use an applicator to smooth it on slowly. If you don't have an applicator just use a credit card.
It does take some practice though
I tried some screen protectors, but for me the Zagg Invisibleshield is the no.1
Easy to put on and managed to put it on without any bubbles (2 times).

Not cheap though. Had a look at Amazon and they're expensive and the reviews aren't too good either.
I have put quite a few screen protectors on- for family and friends, all of them are still bubble/dust free. All of these are the 'cheaply priced' one from ebay
The key things are :
Make sure the surrounding area where you are applying the protector is dust free- somewhere like a bathroom/shower room is best.
Clean the screen thoroughly with a lint-free cloth (usually provided with the protector).
Remove the 'number 1 plastic protector film only a bit at time, exposing as minimal as necessary, whilst using a credit card (with a thin lint free cloth over it) to press the the film from one end as you remove the protector film from othe other end.
As said above, keep the 'number 2 protector' on and smooth out any bubbles again with the credit card.
Peel off the 'number 2 protector'. Be careful, this sometimes 'raises' the actual protector off the screen and can allow dust to get in.
If any bubbles do appear after taking the number 2 protector off, use the credit card wrapped in a lint cloth to smooth them out (the cloth will of course prevent scratches).
Sometimes, dust can get in whilst you are applying. You WILL need to remove the protector and wash it thoroughly under running water.
I have had to do this a few times. Do not dry the protector with anything; you can actually apply it on wet (much like car window tint). You can squeeze out any excessive water out to the edge, again with the credit card. Just have another piece of cloth ready to absorb the excess and avoid getting it in the speaker.
Any Matt protector for suggestion??

I have been using my Desire for about 13 months till now and I always carry it in my pocket.
I do notuse any screen protectiona and I still have not a single scratch untill now...I dunno if the protective screen is really necessary.
I wish I'd fitted a screen protector. I keep my Desire in a pouch but still managed to scratch the screen. Only a small one, but it still annoys me!
I always used cheap ones from ebay, even the ones sold with my hard-cases.
Here's i do (method found here on xda) : just take a warm/hot shower if there's "water" on the mirror, then you're good to go as the dust will be on the floor.
Then you just have to use the method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16239021&postcount=5
I have my desire since 8 months ago without any protection and the screen is perfect, as the first day. No matter if you carry anything made of metal in the same pocket your desire is. It's almost unscratchable
I find that screen protectors dull the look of the screen somewhat. Just take care not to carry coins or keys in the pocket along with the phone.
So I finally broke down and ordered a white digitizer after scratching the original one and banging up the bezel pretty good. I did all the work in my kitchen and used surgical gloves to keep the digitizer and LCD as clean as possible but no matter how hard I try I cant get the thing together without a couple specs of dust between the LCD and digitizer.
So to those who have replaced there digitizer on this phone or anyother.. is it impossible to reassemble the phone without ANY dust short of doing it in a clean room or am I just doing it wrong?
When I took my iPhones apart I would always wear gloves and always have a can of compressed air next to me. That and a microfiber cloth that you use to clean glasses with.
Just be very careful.
Yeeeah.. Had a cloth and wore gloves but didnt think about the air. I guess Ill take it apart again and give it a couple bursts to see if that helps. Thanks.
Id say use an ionizing air gun, but then again, at 450$ and up...not really cost effective lol.
Tips that may or may not work.
Clean the glass and apply the screen in a room with more humidity to reduce the amount of dust in the air. The more still the air, the better.
After cleaning, use a fabric softener sheet that has already been used in your laundry, and rub it all over the parts of the electronics that you don’t want dust attracted to. Instead of attracting dust, the electronics will repel dust!
now there's a creative approach. guess I'm doing laundry tomorrow lol
Post a pic. Been pondering on the white diggitizer but not sure if it looks better than black
Sent from my LG-P999 on CM9 using XDA Premium
ill post one when I get home. never buying another black phone again
btw, took the phone back apart and used some compressed air before fitting the lcd back into the digitizer. I was able to get it together with only few specs of dust that are only visible when the screen is off and I. the sun. this I can live with but I'm going to give it one more try to get it 100% dust free. I like the way the lcd fits into digitizer because dust cant creep in once they're fitted together.
Try doing this outside, maybe in your house balcony or something. A house has like 1000 times more dust particles than outdoors.
I think you'll have better luck doing this outdoor.
Spray room freshener or run warm water in bathroom and steam should knock of particle apply within.

Does any of you proud X owners think that if one applies the a screen protector incorrectly (bits of dust between the protector and the screen) or something similiar, that it could cause the screen to scratch, having a sand-like effect? I'm really paranoid about the screen when it's naked...
btw. how the hell am i supposed to put on a protector without air bubbles? Seems impossible.
I dunno about the first question. But you're supposed to be able to put it on using a credit card to smooth it out as you apply it. In saying that, I've never done it successfully

I doubt having anything under the screen protector would harm these screens. The junk stuck under it isn't going to move as it's stuck in the adhesive.
The best way to apply them (for me anyways) is to clean the screen with an LCD cleaner (or make your own), use tape to blot up anything else, wipe again.
Next--I have found by taking the first layer of the film protecting the screen protector upside down works best. Dust and debris can fall and settle on the sticky side. Then carefully apply. As long as you don't touch the adhesive side, you can pick it up and keep applying the protector until you get it right. You want the top of the protector just about even with the AT&T globe.
Enjoy.....
By using tape do you mean using scotch tape, sticking it on the screen and pulling off?
I'll try washing my screen protector, drying it up, cleaning the screen with MF cloth, taping it up and then hopefully I'll be able to apply it perfectly! :fingers-crossed:

If you trap a particle of dust under the protector that has a hardness greater than the screen, yes, it will eventually scratch the screen in that spot.
However: Gorilla Glass has a Mohs hardness of around 9, which means there is not a lot in the mineral world that can scratch it. The likelihood of your trapping something like that under the screen protector, if you apply it correctly, is not great.
You should be able to remove a particle big enough to scratch your phone from the screen protector without having to wash the protector. I think you would ruin the screen protector if you wash it.
I've used packaging tape as it leaves no residue. Done it for years before with iPhones before owning an Android.

When you apply your screen protector, do it in a washroom with a hot shower running. The steamy air will prevent dust from getting under it.
I will try that out. I always seem to get a bit of dust or lint on the corner of my screen protectors.

Just don't wait too long, not sure if the humidity sensor would get affected.
The way I do it: obviously, I clean the screen then remove completely the clear layer from under to make sure no dust will fall in. I'm holding the screen protector with the tips of my fingers on the sides and gently bend it across (the long) median then align with the phone's screen (this is the hard part). Put the screen protector on the screen at this stge the contact area will be the median line, and then use a credit card and work your way to the eges (one side at a time). I never got any bubbles under this way. I caught some dust particles few times though. It takes patience but it pays off, currently I have no dust or bubbles on it.

If the particle is trapped in one place and can't move, I don't see how it can cause a scratch.
Plus, if any dust gets on the screen during the application process (as long as you've done a halfway decent job), its probably airborne. So its not grit or sand or anything like that (which would just fall to the ground instantly) but more likely skin, ash, etc.
A little preparation and a few tricks will go a long way to a good screen protector install. My process is:
1) Use a wet apply protector. Don't know why, but I've had vastly better results (no dust under protector) with wet apply rather than dry ones. I got to the point where I can do a dry type almost flawlessly, but only after lots of practice and a great amount of care. But even so, there still tends to be a dust particle or two. With wet apply, the first one I ever tried was perfectly dust free with little effort, and the subsequent ones also.
2) Before starting, examine the protector and see how it fits on the phone. With the backing still on the protector, place it on the phone's screen and match up the openings and edges to familiarize yourself.
3) As previously mentioned, use steam to pull dust out of the air. I run a hot shower for 5-10 minutes, then apply the protector in the bathroom. It won't eliminate all the dust, but makes a big difference.
4) Wipe the screen off with a micro-fiber cloth (often included with better quality wet apply protectors).
5) Blow off the screen with a can of compressed air (the kind used to dust electronics and whatnot) to get rid of any remaining dust.
6) Spray the application solution. Quickly apply the protector. As another mentioned, don't hold the sticky side up after you take the backing off, or it will instantly catch dust. Put the protector on quickly, don't let the sticky side touch anything but the screen. Handle the protector as little as possible, and by the edges.
7) Squeegee the protector down with a credit card (make sure the edge of the card is smooth) or some protectors will include a rubber squeegee. Blot the excess moisture at the edges. Then leave the phone alone while it dries.
The best investment for my smartphone has been Ghost Armor. I have spent so much money on packs of screen protectors. A couple years ago I decided $45 was worth it if I only needed to do it once a year. You won't regret it, and you don't have to install it.

I replace about 3 screen protectors a year (bought from amazon clear ones, 3 for $1.99). Other than a little rainbow effect when the screen is off, no regrets looks just like glass. I've been through many protectors before (ridiculously many on my first 'smartphones' rip moto ming, touchpro 1&2) but I can't justify the cost anymore, I'd rather have none (since I change my device every 8-12 months).

Screen protectors that come in packs are crap. The higher quality kind that cost $15 or so (Skinomi, Zag, etc) are in a different class. I've had a Skinomi on my One X since release (May), and one on my Flyer for almost a year and a half. Both are still looking great.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but I will put a vote for Ghost Armor as well. I have it for all my devices and it's like there's nothing there. Crystal clear and screen responsiveness is great. Had Zagg before and the orange peel feel and stickiness made me remove it. Those cheap packs aren't great either, they scratch up very very quickly.
Yesterday i bought the Spigen glass.tr screen protector
it's a dry protector and no wet solution needed
the biggest problem any one can had is the dust under the screen protector
anyway
i installed the protector after cleaning my phone screen very carefully and i was sure that there was no dust there
and of course after the installation there was some dust between the protector and the screen
i was very mad . it's a 30$ protector
i removed the protector and using some alcohol (the white one that u can find in any drug store )
i cleaned the protector
then i made sure that the protector stays wet with the alcohol and i applied it then used the squeegee to remove any small drops of alcohol between the screen and the protector
and now its perfect no dust and no bubbles at all
i wanted to share this with everyone having trouble applying his glass screen protector

Mime ghost glass comes with an anti-dust film. All I did to install was wipe the screen down to remove oils, stick on the film and remove it, and put the glass on. Not a single bubble or spec of dust on the first try.
Great tip!
One has to be OCD about cleaning, to ensure dust free surface before application!
I was able to install it in one go without any dust particles!
I had it in a very well lit room on my workbench with table lighting + my ledlenser headlight looking at the screen from various angles and gave a final wipe with the included mf cloth ( had cleaned the screen prior to final wipe with included ipa swab quite a few times)just before removing the film to install glas.tr.
Not to mention I minimized airflow throughout the room which really helped to prevent dust movement and recontamination of the screen surface!

Thanks for this. I ruined and discarded a glass screen protector because I tried to remove dust using the old tape method. By the time I was done so much other stuff had landed on the sticky side that I gave up. I then tried water but it was too sticky to make a difference. I may buy another one now knowing I can use rubbing alcohol!
If you're really nuts about no hazing from alcohol then use some true 190 proof Everclear.
Also, use a bunch of bursts from a can of compressed just before you apply the protector, but be careful to not blow anything on the exposed backing.
I would use an isopropyl or ethyl type alcohol, no acetone.
I've always just gone into my bathroom, run the shower at hot until the mirror glass begins fogging up, clean off my phone screen, apply the protector.
The steam will weigh down the dust particles in the air allowing you to install your screen protector without finding dust immediately after you just cleaned it.

That sounds like an interesting idea too. Only downside I might see is if the steam gets between the glass and the phone, and the steam is from impure water (no tap water is perfectly pure), and those mineral deposits become visible in between the glass someday. But I'm probably overthinking it. Will have to do an install myself in a few weeks, tough to decide between the steam room and the alcohol methods.

That's why I said "as soon as the mirror starts to fog up" instead of "wait until everything's so foggy you can barely see in front of your face".
You can also wait until you start seeing some steam, then open your bathroom door a crack and turn off the shower. That'll stop the accumulation of steam but still allow you to proceed with the installation.

First you said its the touchscreen, then you said its your screen protector. Buy a higher quality oleophobic screen protector like Spigen. You can carry a microcloth with you as well.

Get a keyboard co2 dust spray???
I wonder if you could apply an oleophobic coating on a screen protector? Like I bought the spigen crystal cause I figured the oleophobic one would lose that layer eventually anyway just like glass screens. But if you could DIY it you could get whatever screen protector you want and then just buy the spray.
