I know what you mean. They aren't the easiest berry accessory to apply. When I put a screen protector on, I set as close to my room air purifier as possible so there is no dust and use a 3M microfiber cloth to remove dust and oil first. Seems to work pretty well.

I actually had the opposite happen. I have always had bad luck with screen protectos. I bout a 5 pack for $5 from Wal-Mart and they work great. Has the grid lines on one side so it made it easy to measure and cut. You really can not tell I have one unless you look very close at bottom of the screen. Wiped the screen with a microfiber cloth and it worked well.

bestskinsever.com sell self healing plastic screen protectors, the EXACT same ones as the Zagg protectors for about $7. You put them on with a soapy water solution and I've never had dust get under them as they're nice and wet before you apply them.

Are those static cling screen protectors?? Meaning they don't use adhesive.

They have a sticky back but not glue. You dip them in soapy water and squeegee them down with a credit card, then they never move again. However you can peel them off and there is no residue on the screen, clean as the day you bought it.
And for the first few days after you apply it they look horrible with a bit of moisture between the screen and the protector but the plastic is porous and the liquid evaporates eventually.

awesome. I love static cling. Used it quite a bit in my last job. Didn't know they made screen protectors out of it.
This is partly the reason why I never have used screen protectors. Even my iPhone
doesn't have a screen protector. I don't have wit or sense to apply one of those
things on my phone.
$20 for 2 protectors? Why would you pay that much for only 2?

Well Zagg charges a lot because they come in a nice commercial box with applicator spray and a squeegee, whereas the website I gave stuffs two of the same protectors into an envelope for shipping without anything else.
It all comes down to marketing really. I would rather pay less and use dish soap and water with a credit card instead of special spray with colorful packaging.
I use a similar screen protector.. it's a 3M off Ebay. Uses soapy water too. Mines been on 4 months and it's even starting to lift at all
Wow. I worked there and didn't even know we made them. 3M also makes the privacy ones that make it where people setting next to you can't see your screen. Pretty nifty. Time to take a trip into the 3M shop
I recall with the Bestskinever for the Creative player, the steamy bathroom was the trick to keeping the dust down. Martin Fields makes the kind without adhesive other than static cling. Same for the verizon privacy version. Their suggestion was to use scotch tape to grab pieces of dust off the screen/skin.
Within 20 minutes of opening the package, both are history.
I dont think its humanly possible to put these things on without getting a spec of dust underneath, which ruins the whole look.
I will never ever buy another one as long as I live. Id rather have scratches on my screen than look at a rogue dust spec thats impossible to remove.
$20 down the drain.
When I purchased a CaseMate Barely there case for my 9700 they sent one of their screen protectors with the order. After doing battle with 43 bucks worth of screen protectors trying to fine a good dust/bubble free one I what can I loose. I took off the last attemps and installed the CaseMate Screen Protector.
----> I cannot tell it is even on there! I ordered the 3 pack put one on the wifes phone and the others are waiting should I ever need them. I will never buy any others again. A pure pleasure to apply CaseMate Screen Protectors.

That's what I am using now as well. Mine came with the Case-Mate Hybrid though. Very pleased with it.
lol @ using scotch tape. Average Joe I feel your pain, it can be a big challenge, especially if you're not patient. As someone said you just have to align the top perfectly so there is no air bubbles and it's absolutely essential there is not a speck of dust on the screen. it's not impossible tho. I want thru about four $5 screen protectors, couldn't do it myself, asked the guy at the kiosk in the mall and he did it no problem. I hear if you go to best buy they can do it for you, if you buy it there of course.
