It's a bit confusing, that whole clear item is not the protector. The protector separates from it on the outline.

Why not just trim it down a little beforehand?

I wasn't sure if the one on their site was for the GSM version or the Sprint CDMA version, so I stayed away. I thought there might have been some slight difference in layout or size, was I wrong in my assumption?

Align bottom left/right corners in with the screen protector in a 45 degree angle. Slowly push the protector on in an upward motion and good lighting to see where the bubbles are occuring. Squeegee the bubbles out with a credit card or cig pack or your best buy rewards card while pushing it on. I still have a bubble on the left side up top towards the start menu. Oh well it'll do until there are better ones out. I think it may be a defect in the screen protectors. Not cut right. The diamond one was worse though.

Compare photos of the GSM and CDMA versions of the phone. They're extremely different in edge shape. Then look at the Boxwave photo, and you'll see it's definitely the CDMA version.

Strange how everyone else is having so much difficulty putting this thing on. I just lined up the slot with the earpiece and simply rolled it down while pulling off the backing. I got it down in one try, and I've NEVER gotten that done before. No bubbles, do dust, just smooth sailing. Sorry to hear you guys are having issues.

I've always used a spritz of water on the screen... allows a little lube to move the screen protector around for perfect alignment. Has worked for me on all my Palm and HTC devices.
