I just applied an Incipio screen protector to my LG V20. It went fine but when I try to remove the outer masking layer from the protector, it just pulls the whole protector away from the screen.
Any tips? I am doing something wrong? I
can you try to use a piece of scotch tape to grab and lift up that protective film?

When you peel the film off, start at one corner, fold the film back over itself and pull parallel to the screen from top to bottom or bottom to top. Instead of trying the lift it out away from the screen in a more or less perpendicular angle from the screen.

Hi,
I installed a new screen protector. It had a paper sticker on it that is supposed to help you peel off the screen protector from the base. After installing the screen protector, i tried to remove to remove the paper stick but it left a smudge of oily and sticky gum with patches of paper.
How can I remove it?
Stay away from the Martin Fields screen protector for the S3, it is not a perfect screen fit around, it only protects the middle of the phone and leaves a 5mm gap all around the front. Yes this does mean it will leave a gap between your lower buttons and there is no cover under the home button.
The actual screen protector like all MF are top quality but the sizing and design of this one is just a let down
that is the same for all dry protectors. If you are wanting a protector that covers the entire front, you need a wet application protector like the flex hd or skinomi teckskin.
It clearly shows what it will cover in the diagram.

I just purchased Flex HD (http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...3-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html), which is a wet screen protector that covers the whole screen. But, I actually prefer dry screen protectors, and I wanna know if I made the right choice. If there are any dry screen protector that covers the entire screen,then I'm screwed!! I have looked into SGP Ultra Crystal at first, but it cut short because the curved area on the phone. Is there any dry screen protector that doesn't cut short?
No, think about it the phone curves down at the edges. The dry screen protectors are hard so going out into those edges will make them slightly float up.
Dry ones are cut down to avoid that problem.

I just installed 3 amFilm Glass Protectors with black borders. Yes, I can vouch for this protector.
Pros:
- Truly edge to edge, with a tiny gap at the edges for case-friendliness
- Does not block any part of the OLED
- Clear, practically looks like a naked screen
- Smooth (wifey said: feels so smooth!)
- Fingerprint-resistant
- Black borders means no visible edges
Cons:
- Can't really think of any. I used Vivid NG gesture app and have to turn increase "Touch Sensitivity" on display settings. No biggie.
- Installation takes longer; more elbow grease to get the bubbles out.
Installation tips:
- Allow at least 15-30 minutes for a good result
- Don't follow the myth of hot shower! That's just a waste water. Seriously.
- Have a roll of masking tape. Use it to clean the screen and sides of phone. Do this by sticking the tape vertically top to bottom starting on the left edge, then peel and move slightly to the right. Repeat until all screen and sides have been 'stripped' of dust specks.
- After placing the protector on the phone, start looking for any remaining specks. Do this by gently squeeging around. Bubbles will move and can be taken care of later. Specks will stay, so you want to spot and remove them now.
- To remove a speck (most likely it would stick to the film and not the screen), fold a length of masking tape in two, so both sides are sticky, then gently lift the closest corner and slide the masking tape underneath. Careful, do not let the masking tape rub the sticky side of the glass film such that it would leave a mark. Once on the right spot, press the film down gently and re-lift it. The speck will stick to the masking tape. Slide out the masking tape and let the film drop down.
- Repeat until all specks have been removed.
- Now squeegee the bubbles out. This takes a while on this screen protector, but you'll be happy with the result!
Ps: I don't use the provided dust stickers. Masking tape works better for me.
Attached are some photos after the installation on the second phone.
Got one of these on the way, hope it installs ok and works nicely with otterbox case. Mine is a work phone and they stipulate the otterbox must stay on. I hate the thing but the S10e is a nice phone.
This supposedly case friendly screen protector had so much potential....
Feel and fit is fantastic but it does NOT classify as case friendly. I cannot get air out of it with my case on. Awesome otherwise.
The case presses on the edges and distorts it, causing some lift.
I had my screen protector installed at a phone shop and the case somehow lifted the top part abit. Couldnt get the airbubble out no matter what so i tried using a hairdryer .. 15 seconds later no more airbubble.
Took mine off. Work insists the otterbox is used so if a screen protector doesn't work with it, too bad. There's no way it was going to fit under the edges of the case.
With a normal TPU type case it should be good though.
It's good enough a fit to even have a naked phone.
On my new note 10 plus there is a film in the back and one on the front, I can't tell if the front one is a screen protector or a twmporary film, it doesnt cover the sides, there is about 1\3 of a inch that is not covered on each side.
Does the factory screen protector cover the left and right sides and the curves ?
In front, it is not temporary film. It is a screen protector. But it will not cover your sides!
The pre-installed screen protector covers the screen up to about 1,5 mm from screen edge. A gap of 1/3" (~8mm) seems too much for that.
I leave them on till they come off on their own
