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
thank you! mine is arriving next week I think. BTW, I think the post should go in the Q&A so more people can see the tip Thanks again!

i thought i posted it at Q&A
it's a mistake sorry
i hope one of the moderators can move it to Q&A
The spigen glass series comes with an alcoholic cleaner. At least mine did.
Another tip would be that immediately after screen protector is placed, you can still adjust it by firmly nudging it in whatever direction you desire.
Likewise mine was perfect. Am really loving the glass feeling.
Other tips for installing glass screen protection:
1. Turn on your shower with the highest water temperature possible, and let it run for about 3~5 minutes. Then, do the procedure in the bathroom. I find that this helps get rid of dust in the air.
2. First, go to a completely white screen, and remove all the dust you can see. This will get rid of dark colored dust particles.
3. Turn off the phone and remove remaining dust. Since the screen is black when it is off, this will get rid of lighter colored dust.
Glass screen protectors feel amazing. It's difficult to get rid of all the dust, but it's definitely worth it.
totally messed mine up.
On the first go, got a bit of dust under it - it was really noticeable - so decided to remove it and give it another wipe with the alcohol wipe. Didn't work so redid it several times.
Was about to throw the thing away when I read about someone using a lint roller. Used it on the underside of the protector and screen and not only did it remove the dust it "revived" the tackiness of the protector.
It is now (almost) perfect on my phone

This. I did this when I got my Glas.TR for my iPhone, by far the easiest and best way I've found to install a screen protector.
Just installed mine and there's a tiny white lint stuck underneath
I wouldn't mind it but it's created a little bubble, hope it goes away or I'll just have to live with it!
Update: took it off and sprayed some soap and water solution to clean it. Reapplied and squeezed out the water and haze, now its almost perfect
thank you! helped me so much!
Like mentioned before:
1. Do it after taking a shower (this is make sure your hands are clean)
2. You can use sellotape (sticky tape) to make sure all dust is gone
3. Make sure you wipe it down with a microcloth (can be wet with water/alcohol) However some alcohol wipes will remove the oleophobic coating and cause smudging!)
Best way to clean screens is wet cloth and dry cloth
I've got bubbles at the edge for weeks. I wonder if I can lift the glass a lil bit to wipe the screen and re-attach it perfectly. If yes, what should I use to lift it? I know my fingernail can do...but I guess I can chip the edge by doing so
Yeah shower trick works. Usually have a perfect glass protector with not even one lint under it.
you guys are all so funny. The best way is to use scotch tape to remove any particles under the protector both on it and on the phone.
1. clean the phone with alcohol swap
2. wipe with non lint cloth (most likely provided with protector)
3. start by separating the protector from backing slightly not removing it fully to avoid any debris and place top half on phone lining up properly.
4. work from top to bottom slowly with credit card or supplied squeegee working bubbles out.
5. if debris are noticed under protector do not try to lift with finger nail use scotch tape to lift the protector and slide another piece under the protector area to catch the debris.
Omg I did the shower thing and I wet my phone completely..slipped into the bath. How I am suppose to put the screen while taking a shower...Omg..just joking..

Thanks for your advice. I applied the glass protector 2 weeks ago. I tried scotch tape for carton box but the tape wasn't that sticky to lift the protector. Have you got any further advice? Thanks

I have always been able to lift with Scotch tape. Place the tape on a corner posing it firmly down on the protector leaving the tape extend as a tab. Lift slow just enough to seperate the two (screen protector from screen)
I use the hinge method. You can go on YouTube and find videos. It really helps to get it on straight and helps eliminate bubbles.

I just looked up a video, and that is definitely sort of brilliant.
I too used the shower trick, and for the most part, worked great. I needed a couple of attempts to line it up just perfectly however. Once I finally got it down, it looked fine. Next day I noticed a small speck of dust in the upper right corner. Just far enough away from the edges that would make lifiting it and using tape a little risky. We will see if my OCD can subside and Ill get used to it in a few days.

Thank you Mapobean. I tried it; however it only works on normal screen protector (the film one). I tried that from my friend's phone. Mine is glass screen protector and no way I can apply you useful tip. :crying:
..
i think it would make the screen twice as thick and it wouldn't adhere to the screen, you'd be better off getting either a tempered glass or matte screen protector
..
id still go with the screen protector not just a new front screen
Yeah just go with the tempered glass protector. There is no purpose to buying another screen and adding it on top of another one. Your screen sensitivity might drop as well if you were to do that.
I bought an iloome screenmate tempered glass protector back in January I believe and it's still holding up awesomely. Still fully adhered. No scratches. Fits perfectly. :good:

I've tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors so far (supershieldz and dmax) and both of them leave a few mm glass on all sides. This couples with the ringke case leaves a gap for dust to collect.
I was wondering this this phone has a flat screen, not curved at the edges, would there be a way to get a screen protector that completely covers it right to the edge or with a very small gap(<1mm).
Does anyone know of a glass protector like that which will cover 100% of the front face?
Thanks
@intelliARMOR have said they are making one in the next month once they get their first batch of more case friendly screens out.
I just applied an IQ Shield screen protector to a Note 7. These have to be glue/wet application protectors because of the edges. But one corner didn't really take. So put a tiny drop of 3M Scotch superglue there. That didn't take either. The glue stuck to the screen protector but not to the glass. So I'm thinking about cleaning the glue with some acetone and using another adhesive to reattach the corner. Except I have no idea which adhesive to use.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Or does anyone know how to fix a peeling corner of a screen protector?
Thanks.
Hi
the factory screen protector ruined after few weeks of live. :-((
a small bubble appeared onto the surface, and I would like to remove the screen film protector
AFAIK the LCD glass screen should be a Gorilla glass 5,... i.e. the LCD glass itself is harder than the "protector"...
Could you give me some advice on HOW to safely remove the damaged screen protector ?
May I warm it before removing ?
Which temperature is suggested , not to damage the IC o the phone ?

The factory screen protector is made of plastic and can be removed without any heat or trouble. Just use a finger-nail or the tip of a razor blade to get one corner lifted and then easily peel the rest of it off.

My screen protector also formed a bubble near the camera and was absolutely poor quality which actually led to MORE scratches than without a protector. I now have a tempered glass protector installed and feel safe now.
