Awesome screen protector! If you know how to apply it. Read on.
This is my second time buying this anti glare screen protector. It comes with 2 screens in a package, but don't expect to use it on 2 different laptops, there is 99% chance you will screw up BIG time on the first application and will have to use the second screen anyway.
That's what happened to me. In fact, I screwed up on the first one, and on the second one .. just not as much.
I still have at least 10 bubbles that I can't get out and dust bubbles in a few spots.
Its a totally different story with the second purchase. I got better at applying it AND the included "squeegee" is 10 times better then a crappy cardboard one that I got in the first package.
I learned from my mistakes, don't bother with instructions by the way, they are not quite clear, I will give some tips below.
First screen protector I applied didn't come out too great, acceptable but I knew I could do better.
I tossed first screen protector out and started over with the second screen protector.
Result: 99% Flawless application, no air bubbles, no dust bubbles!
This screen protector works as advertised, it does in fact reduce glare by a lot (if you typically see your own reflection when the screen is off, with this protector it will be reduced by at least 60%), it does repel dust, and it does protect your screen from scratches, however the actual screen protector does scratch so don't start testing it by scratching it all over :D.
Application steps/tips:
1. First clean your screen, use the included dust cloth, first by itself, and then spray either Isopropyl Alcohol on it, or dab it with Hand Sanitizer.
The alcohol is great at removing any residue and finger prints your might have on the screen, as well as it evaporates very quickly.
DON'T USE INCLUDED "dust removing" stickers, they will most likely stick to your screen and then you will have to remove the stickers from your screen and the residue it left behind, it happened to me both times.
I also recommend wiping the screen with a good microfiber cloth right after, mostly just to get rid of any static (electricity) on your screen, or it instantly can become a dust magnet again and you really don't want that while applying your screen protector.
2. Now take your screen protector. There are 3 layers, I repeat 3 layers! (I've seen some reviews of people claiming the protector is either too thin, or doesn't reduce glare, or scratches easily, that's most likely because those people tried to apply the 1st or 3rd layer)
The layer your want, the actual protector, is in the center. A RED sticker is attached to the bottom layer. Remove the bottom layer ALL the way!..
3. MOST IMPORTANT STEP. Carefully take your screen protector by the corners (try not to touch the bottom side at this point). Line up the screen protector with your screen at 2 corners (I recommend left top and bottom, or right top and bottom). Don't bother with the squeegee at this point, just line up the corners and slowly let the screen protector "unroll" to the other side of the screen. If you didn't line it up right, I wouldn't bother redoing it, might as well start over with the second protector that's in your package. If you peel it off to do it again, there is going to be static electricity at this point and you might get dust in between your protector and your screen causing a lot of dust bubbles all over the screen.
4. Now get the squeegee out, if you got the same squeegee as me, it will be plastic on one end and soft cloth on the other, in which case only use the soft side. For bigger bubbles you have to be slow, for smaller bubbles you can just rub the actual bubbles back and forth with the corner of the squeegee and they will go away. As a reminder, the top layer of the screen protector is still on at this point. Don't remove it until the very end. You can "scratch" the bubbles out as hard as you want, you will see scratches on top of the top layer, don't worry.. it's not going to scratch your screen or the actual protector... scratch away, and get as many bubble out as possible.
Here is a thing though.. You might have a lot of bubbles, but chances are half of those bubbles are between the screen protector and its top layer.
5. Once you get most or all of the bubbles out, take the top layer (by the BLUE sticker) and remove it. Viola! You are done.
Here is what to do with remaining bubbles if you have any.. Don't start scratching them away, place the protective layer you just removed back on top of those bubbles and get them out this way, one bubble at a time, you don't want to scratch your protector as this point.
Get all the bubbles out, wipe your screen and you are done.
