Hi there. I am using Adpo Screen Guard screen protector. There are no bubbles but the screen protector leaves smudges and fingerprints on it just like screen of my Desire S. Is this common ? Has anyone tried Azmer Screen Protectors? They claim it is smudge free.
I suppose it all depends on how dirty/greasy your fingers are.
I also suspect that the smudge free claim is in regards to your screen and no the screen guard.
Regardless of how clean your hands are there will always be some amount of natural oils present so personally I think that their claim of the screen guard being smudge free is BS.
Yep, as I thought.
The only claim to keep your screen clean.
There is not claim that the screen guard will stay smudge free.
Try to turn it up-side down
I suppose that you put the wrong side to the screen..
Try the 3M screen protectors. I use them and are smudge and fingerprint free.

I tried to put a screen protector on my DS. I kept getting air bubbles under it I tried for hours trying to put it on, and just kept failing... Ended up taking it off and getting a very very small "scratch" on the bottom right of the screen.

I recommend to try it again in the bathroom after taking a shower. The moisture in the air will bind the dust, so you can put the screen protector on without any bubbles. I've done it for myself, father, mother, sister and gf. None of them was able to do it...
Ps: if it fails, you can wash the protector with handsoap and water, shake it a little bit that most of the water drops down and then you can put the (still wet!!) Protector on your screen. Because of the moisture it will draw up even by itself, moisture-bubbles can easily been pushed out to the edges. (bad English...)
It's all about finger-skillz

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.
in installed the MIME featherglass temperred screen protector...
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.

This video is for an iPad, but it should really visualize it for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T24l1wkB00s
I had a feeling suction cups like those might be hard to hold onto, so applied my tempered glass protector using the same method and a GPS mount

This thread was about how you should apply a tempered glass protector.. All I can see is you suggesting to buy a new screen protector.
Besides that, you do realize that this thread is over 3 months old, right?
Otaofans only makes posts that promote the oato screen protectors. And for that reason alone I vote that none of us ever buy an oato product. Who's with me?
And report as spam...

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.

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.
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.
Hi all,
Do you all find that the inner screen seems to collect alot of dust? Is it got to do with the screen protector?
Any recommendations on inner screen protector that does not collect dust as much as the factory pasted one?
Thanks all.
Yes i have the same problem. It collects dust and fingerprints. Hopefully is very bright and it doesn't bother me too much when screen is on.
Recommend screen protector not to buy if it looks like this image on AliExpress because they're all slightly too big so you'll have an air bubble at the edge
What I do recommend after buying 20 inner screen protectors is that it fits perfectly with a cut out. I almost gave up because of the lame advertisement photo. The air bubble will go away in a few days usually you'll see within 24 hours also that weird line will also disappear. The other one I bought the line never disappear here is the link https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...624!rec&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US
Also does leave dust but very slightly hope this helps. Going back to sleep

Hi!
Great recommendation....
Did you remove the original film protectors from both internal and external screens before installing this?
Yes but the factory screen protector is more thick and sticky
