ZAGG shield problem

I think I put too little solution when applying the shield (three generous squirts down the centre)... it's only been 2 hours but there seems to be a lot of clumped together micro bubbles scattered across the screen as well as regions that are completely perfect. Anyone else experience this?

Unfortunately, the instructions say I can only re-apply within 3-5 minutes of application :(
 
Don't worry about them. They will dissipate over the next 3-4 days. Whichever ones you can squeegee to the edge, do so. Keep in mind also, that until the liquid completely dries, every time you squeegee, it will appear that there's dust trapped under the shield. Don't worry about it. Like I said, in 3-4 days you'll be quite pleased with the results. I did a terrible job on mine and I have no micro bubbles at all now, 5 days later.

The ones on the edge you can easily squeegee out, but I had about 7 near the middle of my screen that wouldn't budge that had me bummed, but as I said, they gradually dissipated on their own. Give it another 3 days or so, if that, and it will become totally bubble free. I keep forgetting I've got it on now. Glad I could put your mind at ease.

I personally don't like the Zagg because of it's orangish effect on devices. i tried one from Amazon called ArmorSuit, i personally prefer this one but has anyone tried both?

I have and the Armor Suit is much better, I currently use Stealth Shieldz which are like $5 for 2 on ebay. Zagg's has wicked orange peel and feels very sticky. Also I'm a smoker and at first blamed myself because the Zagg turned yellowish after 3 months, that hasn't happened with the other 2 brands that I've used.

I liked my Zagg protector on my Samsung Galaxy Tab, but now, after about I think 4 months, it's starting to bubble in the middle of the screen, like I just applied it (As odd as it sounds!). So I am considering taking it off. I tried squeegeeing it out and it only made the issue worse. So mad!

They have a lifetime warranty.
