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:

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.

Screen protector dilemma

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.

Was gonna say the same bout my Zagg...love it! Wet application and a squeegee, works perfect every time. The wet app also can aide with alignment if you don't get it just right, you can still move it before you squeegee.

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.

[Q] Apply tempered glass screen protector!

I've seen a few videos on how to apply a tempered glass screen protector, but I'd like a few tips on how to apply one from those who have done it without any bubbles and problems.
What should I do to apply one without any problems? I have a new tempered glass screen protector and I want to install it without any problems.
TIA

Not gonna have bubble from a tempered glass screen protector. Most important thing is cleanliness. Removing every possible piece of dust/fiber/dirt/fingerprints/etc from the phone will make the application much cleaner and nicer. That, a steady hand, and some patience. But, this is probably better off in the actual forum about Accessories.

I applied a few screen protectors using as reference yt videos (nothing I invented).
Overall it's important to:
- plan plan plan. do your homework, see how and where it should fit (you can use the hinge method, but I usually find that a lot more error prone than good old preparation and careful placement and a lot of patience).
- work in a well lit environment.
- work in a clean environment (it is very well worth to apply the protector in the bathroom after a shower, or with the hot water running - settling all the dust).
- use no marks sticky tape the ones that are translucent white are the best - no need for any brand or something).
- clean the screen with a micro fiber cloth and some screen cleaning products (you should not over do it but it should usually clean and smudge / oil / lint free).
- use pieces of sticky tape to "tap and remove" any visible dust from the screen (usually I use a led flashlight to create an alternate spotlight on the screen to find dust).
- apply the protector and try to get it right in the first go (it is fairly important for glass protectors to not lift them). for regular protectors you can always lift them and remove dust, but double check about glass ones because those should not be lifted and reapplied as far as I know.
- smudge any bubbles as per the screen protector instructions.

suggestions?? CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN enviorment
(i did this)
go to your bathroom, wipe the counters clean....
pre clean your screen with a non streak cleaner...
clean it using a non fiber cloth for glasses
turn shower head to HOT and let it run a few minutes until your mirrors start to fog mirrors
wash hands, (no greasy fingers for this)
turn shower off, and leave door closed. start the process
once again, wipe the screen again! make sure u shake the cloth and wipe again
look at different angles to make sure its not dusty
take film off screen protector... hold by borders using the very tips of fingers
start by getting real close to the earpiece, center it, and ensure the borders are even....
keep getting closer, once it makes contact with earpiece and its centered, put a finger on it lightly to prevent movement...
before letting the screen protector down, make sure its lined up to be straight and just start to let gravity make the contact
squeeze bubbles starting from center towards borders if needed... i had not a single bubble...
i had to peel mine up to aligh it perfectly because i didnt do this above the first time
now i have a perfect protector with no dust, no bubbles and its awesome

my bathroom doesn't have a counter, so I guess I'll leave my room for a couple of hours with the windows shut and try that! thanks for the tips!

I read somewhere in the past about using one of those GPS windshield (glass) mounts for installation.
It worked like a charm for me. What you do is stick the mount in the center of the tempered glass protector.. and drop it onto the screen. It's much easier to place perfectly and no accidental fingerprints along the edges.

Idea for removing bubbles under screen protector......

I ended up with few of the small spiderweb bubbles under my Nilkin screen protector I installed last night. A few along the very top edge of the glass, and a few at the bottom. I am currently trying the binder clip with micro-fiber cloths trick to apply pressure and remove them. If that doesn't work, I saw a mention of putting the phone in a plastic bag and using a vaccuum hose.
1.) Has the vaccuum trick worked for anybody here.
2.) I got to thinking about this. I have a foodsaver vaccuum sealer for storing food. Would this do a better job of pulling out the bubbles since it creates a better seal?
I don't see how it could hurt the phone in any way. Others thoughts on this?
-Jeremy

What i would suggest :
Clean the screen with piece of cloth ( Mostly comes with the package)
Get some tape 2 pcs...
place one on the top of the screen protector , and pull it slowly to remove the screenprotector
get the other piece of tape and tape it around ur finger (Inside out) now with 1 finger u would pull the screen protector up
and with the other u would tap the screen where the bubbles are , this will make the bubbles go away!
Then just replace the screen protector and remove the tape, DONE!
PS: If this didn't help , then send your device to me i will fix it for free :good:

Bubbles are created by dust on the screen. I read someone suggest lift the protector with one piece of sticky tape then use another to remove the dust from the screen and protector. Do this for each bubble
Edit. Crap. Teaches me not to read the replies

Assuming its not dust....just a bubble, like the huge one to the right of the led notification ....I used a thin cloth and an adjustable wrench and tighten the wrench firmly on the bubble...with the cloth protecting the phone of course. In 20 minutes per bubble....I had none. Gone for good.
Mime ghost glass BTW.
Sent from my N5 cell phone telephone....

I would suggest not doing it during night time. Do it on a very illuminated area. Clean with the provided cloth uniformly until looks perfect. I my self always blow the screen during the sticking process and never get dust between screen and protector. If any bubble, sweep it with a credit card before removing the top layer.

As someone said once you have them its a fail. I use the glass ones I know they crazy prices but I do the steam room bit and drop them on. No bubbles.

You may (or may not) have noticed it is easier to apply screen protectors at times; you could apply them all day flawlessly, and other days they just don't play ball. The reason is humidity! The more humid the environment the less chance there is of dust particles wizzing around. Typically this will be summer here in the UK where its gets really humid. To replicate the humidity in colder climates / seasons, you can run a hot shower or bath and let the bathroom steam up. The screen protector should apply perfectly there, but you don't want to spend to long there with your precious phone, condensation and all. You could also try bowls of steaming hot water around the area you're going to be applying the screen protector in.
Be sure to apply common sense before applying the screen protectors if you're going to be using the above mentioned methods and the usual rules apply, clean the screen etc before hand.

Bodyguardz Pure Tempered Glass is a "GO" with NO Halo.

Just installed the Bodyguardz Pure Tempered Glass screen protector with the Express Align tray on my white Galaxy S6.
It is 100% Halo Free and went on pretty much perfect. Not sure how it would come out on the black S6 but I'm not complaining about mine.
I have installed tons of screen protector over the years and this is my first Bodyguardz. The Express Align tray works perfect and I highly recommend it.
Just made sure you push real hard and wait for the protector to adhere to the phone before trying to remove the Express Align tray.
Well worth the $35.00 from the AT&T Store. I also have the Zagg as a back up but don't think I'll be needing it right now.
It's a little short on the top and bottom but that is how they avoid the halo.
I'm sure Bodyguardz will be offering their "Crown" for the S6 Pure in the near future.
I also managed to installed it without getting any junk under the screen
(the spots in pics are only in the pics, not under glass).
Here are a few pictures.

Can you share any tips that help to prevent dust or lint get under the screen during installation?

Just a real clean area and have a nice bright light over the area you are working on. Also a can of compressed air comes in handy. Soft Micro Fiber rags. I use the Giottos Large Rocket Blower ( used with my cameras). I believe that they are only like $10. and something you will always use as I do. Bodyguardz is coming out with their "Crown" for the S6 to fill in the spaces.

My tip for a clean and lint free installation. Go into your bathroom. Turn on the shower with hot water. Let it get nice and steamy. It will settle the dust in the room and then clean and apply the screen protector. Sounds crazy but been doing this for years and never get anything under my screen protectors.

That depends on your location actually. I also do the same but Moscow is very very dusty city and I live near the highway... so even after the hot shower I can see particles floating))) Usually I buy couple of protectors so succeed with at least one, that is not an option with a 35 bucks SP though )

Another vote for the steamy shower route.

I'm tempted to pull this one off and try the Zagg I have sitting here.
If it was not so short on the top & bottom it would be perfect.
