Tips on putting screen guards on tablets

[Jim Bancroft]

I am the world's worst at this. No matter how much I clean the lint off the screen beforehand I seem to get a few dust particles on there when putting down a screen protector, and it looks terrible with those bubbles surrounding even the smallest particles. Of course this seems to happen in the middle of the screen more often than not.

Are there brands of protectors that are better at preventing this than others, or are at least repairable afterwards?

I'm open to tips on how to install these with a minimum amount of 'pollution' and how to fix afterwards. I understand you can put a piece of scotch tape on your finger and roll the screen up to remove the particles, but if they're near the middle of the screen I'd think you're just trading one dust particle for five others.

Thanks!

If you don't have access a a clean room do it in a bathroom after leaving the shower running on hot for a bit. The steam will prevent dust from flying around.

Didn't think of that, thanks for the tip!

Wow, that is a great tip.
