Just to let you know, there is a trick to doing this correctly. first and formost the package comes with a lint free cloth to clean the screen. Second is the "soft card" to squeeze and air bubbles out of it. it's a soft piece of cardboard to slide across the screen protector and not damage it and or to remove it, if needed. (if done properly, not required)

most importantly is the screen protector itself. when you first look at it, all you see is a clear piece of plastic and a little tab attached to it. It's important to read what it says. the tab is glued onto a piece of plastic which is attached to the protector. hold itby it's sidesand pull on the tab slowly. this should begin to seperate the tabbed plastic sheet from the protector. it's like peeling off the protective paper from the back of a bow or ribbon or double sided tape with paper on it.

try not to touch the back, hold it by the sides if possible. lay the phone flat on it's back for the next part. Center the protector to the screen and just let it drop onto it or place one edge on the screen and drop it. It should appear to be floating on screen since you will notice the air gap. Give it a few seconds and gravity should do it's job and simply suck all the air out from between the screen and the protector without touching it. Once it's done, you can use the cloth to get the prints and stuff off the screen. It's a perfect fit and I don't have any air bubbles on it.

Protector has attached labels held on using more or less permanent adhesive. A paper residue is left when a label is removed. This is entirely unacceptable.

I'd like to address the "paper residue"/"permanent adhesive" issue that another reviewer mentioned. This does not occur on the screen protector itself; there are two paper tabs, one attached to a plastic film on the front of the protector, and one to the back, and these should both be removed- revealing the actual screen protector. It sounds like this user did what I first did- I did not realize that there were 2 protective films, and after applying the sticky side to my screen, I tried to remove the tab (in vain) and was deeply dissapointed when I was met with a stubborn, sticky residue all over my screen! After cursing this purchase, I took another look and noticed the film, removed it, and was pleasantly surprised that this purchase wasn't actually useless!

Also, a quick tip: it says to apply in a dust-free enviroment. Unless you live in a vacuum, I'm sure you will have difficulty with this one. Try applying this in a slightly steamy bathroom (not too steamy though- condensation would be bad). This will take care of a lot of the dust in the air (dust = bubbles). And, for 1 cent each, I'd suggest getting a couple for back up anyway in case you are plagued by bubbles!

It is ok. Description didn't really make it sound like it actually is. If it had I probably would not have bought it. It picks up everything and as a result the view of my screen isn't so good.

I love using this because I'm always dropping my phone or spilling something on it. It does not interfere with the touch screen sensitivity at all.

Like most screen protectors, it is extremely difficult to put one of these one without some bubbles or dust trapped underneath. It does not interfere with the brightness of the screen (as far as I can tell). My biggest concern was the smoothness of the surface and this screen protector has a nice smooth (as opposed to rubbery) surface that doesn't interfere with the motion of the stylus. So, it works well for writing or drawing on the Centro screen--which is not what most people will do anyway. :)

received the purchase in a timely manner. when I used it on my phone the paper backing would not come off and left a definite residue that mared my view of the screen.

Not worth the money....it is thin and when you pull the stickers off some of them would not come off....do not buy

Simply a must for touchscreen devices, doesn't lose any brightness whatsoever, and resilient to fingerprints, cleans very easily.

What a hunk of junk. I installed it as directed, even followed a fellow reviewers suggestions. No air bubbles and it looked good. Then I whip out the stylus and try out a game of suduku. NOTHING!! Wouldn't work with the stylus. Crap!
