Well, maybe I'm all thumbs, but I worked and worked and couldn't get the air bubbles out. I watched the YouTube video and followed the procedure exactly in a freshly cleaned tiled bathroom, but the bubbles formed from the start and simply would not go .
It took some time for me to get it right.
What you need to do; that is if you haven't curled it up in frustration. Get some eye glass cleaner or clear water in an eye glass cleaner spray bottle. Sit at the kitten table and lay your iPad flat on a towel. Turn the ipad off so it is a dark screen. You should have a bright light so you will see the bubbles.
Next find a cheap soft credit card I used a Wallgreen card. Then get a small piece of tape an apply to each of the corners. The tape will allow you to lift an edge of the screen protector. By lifting two corners you can lift an entire side.
Spray a little fluid under the screen protector. Note - Do not spray in any of the ports if you are concerned then you can cover the ports with some tape.
Now initially there will be lots of bubbles but gently take you credit card and work out the forwards the edge. As you squeeze the fluid out use the towel to catch the fluid. Do the same on each corner until you are happy. Be patient it may take three or four times. Once you Think you are done and there are no more bugles.
Turn your iPad on and go to a blank white screen I used my flashlight app or a white screen from a note taking app. With the iPad on you will find additional bubbles you may not have noticed previously. I got my eagle eyed son to double check me. If you find a bubble even if it is in the middle of the screen it can be worked out slowly.
Just spay a little spray on top of the screen to reduce friction an scrap the bugle to the edge. You may find a dust particle or hair under the screen. in this case you can completely remove the screen protector and rinse in off in water. Note- Do not scratch it off with your finger nail just rinse the entire underside of the screen protector and start again. The bathroom idea is to reduce dust with the humid air. I do not due this process.
Sounds long but it's easy once you get a corner or two done.. The nice part of this SP is that it is thick enough that it is not destroyed when removed an reapplying. I have two iPads and have practiced with several screen protectors. This process has worked for me.
