Nice writeup, you definitely covered most of the key points I've come up with over the years I've been using protectors. The shower is a huge part, I'm not normally a huge 'soap solution' guy, but the only thing I would add is -

Step 10?... - Start applying on the top or bottom and slowly push onto the screen with the help of a credit card, preferably hard cardboard, tongue depressor, something to that effect which will not instantly scratch the protector. This way you have an even application and push out the bubbles etc all at the same time.

Also step 17 left out - where to get the screen protector for Verizon!
