my brothers girlfriend never put her protector on her mogul... even tho i strongly advised her too... she refused... as many times as shes drooped it plus normal ware... i don't know how it is the screen looks perfect!... anyway i still wouldn't advise to go without protection
its really hard trying to find a screen protector with the perfect balance... ofcourse it helps to apply it as smooth as possible without bubbles.... personally i try to find screen protectors that are bigger than my screen so I can dissemble the case (without voiding if i can) and custom fit them over the entire screen, if not I try to slip it underneath the body covering the screen so none of the edges are visible... hope this helps
oh PS ware tight laytex gloves if you can... and make sure the surface is as clean as possible before you apply..... don't clean it with anything that leaves residue ... use CLEAN soft microfiber electronic cleaning wipes or ..... CLEAN eyeglass wipes, and if the screen looks like it doesn't need to be cleaned in the first place it prolly doesn't... so don't
