Re: How to get bubbles out when putting on screen protector?

The problem with the TP2 screen protector is that HTC cut it just a touch too large. Unless you position it absolutely perfectly it will overlap the left or right edge by just a hair and cause a ridiculous amount of bubbling that no amount of smoothing and rubbing out will fix. Had they cut it a mm less wide it would sit easily on the screen and be a cinch to install. I know from extensive experience that installing a well fitted screen protector is actually fairly easy.

But take solace in this fact; the Sprint TP2 screen protector actually fits much better than the T-Mobile one. The T-Mobile screen protector is ridiculously difficult to install, worse than the Sprint. Someone soon will bring out a much better fitting protector. Until then I would recommend putting the included one on as best as possible and ignore the inevitable imperfections. Use your TP2 knowing that at least the screen is protected, even if it does look temporarily lousy. Also don't lose patience and tear it off and throw it away, then you risk a lot more than your phone looking lousy for a while.
