It comes with one, but I haven't had much luck with it. I used the same application method I have used in the past with other brands (invisible shield, boxwave, martin fields, etc) with soapy water. Anyways, the bottom 2 points near the phone buttons catch in my pocket and lift up. This causes lint from pocket to get under it. I ordered some of the ebay ones mentioned in another thread to see how they hold up.

No soapy water or any solution of any kind should be used with the Sprint protectors. It's just a big sticker. I've used the zagg ones in the past, with soapy water, but they're just not as good. They might be more durable, but they have a sorta orange-peel texture and why expose yr device to water if you don't have to?

I agree 100%, the zagg ones in particular suck big time IMHO (I had one on an old xv6800 for about a week before I took it off in

& threw it away) although the stuff works fine for full body protection.

Although I have used the water/soap method with good results, all I use now are the Boxwave/Brando savers which are much easier to apply bubble & dust free, don't need water & don't ruin the TF3D screen feel like the zagg cr@p

This happened because you didn't wait long enough for the protector to dry. The one I put on my TP2 (InvisibleShield) didn't fully dry for 24 hrs using the same method (soapy water). That was even with putting it under a light to warm it up a bit.

I think soapy water works on pretty much any screen protector. As long as you're careful, it does wonders on making sure there are no bubbles and adjusting it. Just make sure once u dip the screen protector, u shake it off WELL.

No no no no. This whole soapy water thing is only for zagg and equivalents (military grade helicopter blade protectors). The new trend is these cheap RTV silicone adhesive protectors, like the one Sprint includes, and believe me, no water should be used with these! I just stuck it on and you can't even tell it's there.

Does anyone have any tips on installing the screen protector without trapping dust? Every time I try, there's a spec or 2 of dust trapped

There is a stickied thread about this. It involves turning the shower on, getting in your boxers, and praying to whichever god you worship.
