Saucier,
It is easy to install. Have you ever done window tinting on your car/trucks? How about applying racing decals on your drag car? If so, it's the same thing. For the Stealth Guards, I used Windex as my "special fluid" everyone is all scared about.
Place a spritz of windex on your clean and lint free phone screen, NO LINT, NO KIDDING. If you have lint, try another rag or towel, or use some other type of material. Lint is a deal breaker.
Clean the dog-snot out of the screen. Leave no lint.
Get the screen guard picked part way off the paper backing.
Spray your finger tips and thumb before you pick up the screen guard.
Spray the back side of your screen gaurd.
Spray screen, make small puddle in center of screen.
GENTLY: Set screen guard on puddle and screen that is misted and it will float on the fluid film. Using your lightest touch, get guard into position and then with finger tip, press center. Now DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD AS SUGGESTED.
Use a credit card with a wrap of T-shirt material or a wrap or two of paper towel. Start squeegying (spelling?) the water out from center, dont mash hard but just press nicely. Don't be excited or in a hurry.
When you give up, it will look like dog nuts. Your not going to like it right now. The screen will look really odd with tiny black dots from the remaining fluid. Get over it and go to bed dude!
In the morning you will think it really improved by 75%, but damn it....you know you should have been getting more water out, those bubbles are never going to go away and you need to rip this junk off. CALM DOWN! Deal with it.
All day at work you notice that there seems to be less small bubbles and the larger ones seem to honestly be decreasing. Move on with life, go home and have a nice evening and go to bed.
OMG! It's like the film was applied by a magician! You now think you are a super hero! It is amazing! Over the second night, any crap fluid left trapped in thier had made its way out.... and your phone is ROCKIN!
You will notice the NON-GLASS finish has a slightly rubbery feel, but really it is no issue with swyping or typing. Glare has a bit of a mild orange peel finish, but NOT AS MUCH AS INVISIBLE SHIELD! It actually looks better than the ZAGG! Tactical feel and feedback is nearly.... (I say is...) identical between the Stealth Guard and the ZAGG products.
Scratch resistance is great, you can pocket the phone with no worry of anything less than a crushing blow, and in that case you will need a new phone, not a new screen. If cleaned and applied as described above it will stick and stick good. It will be tough to remove. It will be clear and clean. You will hug yourself.
