Hey there,
First post, and I HAD to come on and say thanks for this EXCELLENT write up Hypnotic2010. I didn't even know the TP2 came with a screen protector; I was actually looking into purchasing one, until I came across your post - so thanks for that
. Your instructions were great, and I would like to add a few subpoints, and share my experience for others.
I brought my phone in midway through my shower - so it was only in the bathroom about 10 minutes total. You don't want it exposed for too long; and again you can block the water sensor.
I used gloves so I didn't leave any fingerprints. I put a VERY thin coating on the screen; then dipped the protector (sticky side) into the solution. I shook and wiped off any excess so it was a thin, but solid coating.
For me, I guess I didn't use enough soap, because I wasn't able to move it around freely; I had to pick it up and realign until it was straight.
I was freaking out about the spots/haze; but as Hypnotic2010 reassured me, it would go away. My pictures are from the first night, approximately 8 hours after application. By the time I got home the next night, about 20 hours after application, it was about 90% perfect.
By the time I woke up the next morning, approximately 32 hours after application, it was 95% perfect. When I got home that evening, about 45 hours after application, it was 99% perfect. I have one super small air bubble (my fault), but it looks perfect. Many thanks for this write-up. I put on my last screen protector in 2007, and it took me about an hour; and it was far more frustrating.
Not only did you save me a ton of time, you saved me from purchasing one unnecessarily. Many thanks again; good luck to all the rest.
