Re: Sprint TP2 BestSkinsEver - Fail

I ordered from BSE, the trick is to use glasses cleaner, or a mixture of half water and half 70% alcohol, this way it evaporates away faster and is not harsh enough to screw up the adhesive. Place the screen protector in place and use a soft flexible plastic card, credit cards tend to be too firm, so i use my Metro Card (NYC subway/bus pass) basically about the thickness of a regular business card but plastic. Anyways, worse comes to worse use your credit card. If the screen protector is too short or narrow, this is the time you can use to stretch it to fit perfectly... line up two corners of the protector and blow dry it down until it sticks, pull the screen protector down to appropriate length and hold and blow dry. For the side piece do the same thing, this allows you to get that extra little bit that sticks out to stick to the phone and not attract lint, allow it to over lap the other adjacent pieces, then use a NEW razer blade or box cutter to cut off the overlapping excess.

Although the first day or two there may be small water bubbles/oily smear look to it caused by little water droplets that can be squeegeed out, it will evaporate soon enough. Don't try to force the little bubbles out, otherwise it will scar the skin, let it naturally flatten. For best results do this in the bathroom with hot shower running to steam up the area and prevent dust from getting trapped under the skin...

There you have it a cheap perfectly sized, well applied screen protector.
