it's official. i cannot.....

...........install that stupid protective plastic screen shield on a smart phone. gah! i am so ham-fisted with the thing.

i can take a 911 motor out, DIY butcher an entire animal, etc..but that protective screen is a daunting install!! i gave up. tried twice yesterday. first one? let's just say my cat was involved..had to pull the cord on that one.

second one? after banning the cat, and dog..wow..bubble city!! i must have had some invisible lint.. it is now wadded up and in the garbage can. i bought a 3-pack, so i have one more crack at it.

when i bought my phone, the Verizon lady did it in about 10 seconds with inch long painted nails!! seamless, bubbleless, perfectly centered. i might go back to her..bring her a latte or something.

my phone is naked right now, and i work construction. yikes.

A little soapy water and a credit card squeegee. Catch the water that gets pushed out with a tissue. Fogging under the protector will go away.

My protector came with a squeegee. Align. Then use squeegee to push out bubbles. Forgot the brand.

Most places install for free. Use that. If they mess it up it's on them...

Frankly you don't really need it any more anyway. The glass is so durable. I haven't had them on any phone in 2 years and not a scratch.
