Hi all! I just bought a otterbox defender case but never seem to be able to avoid getting trapped under the screen protector. The baby powder trip to rid of watermarks worked but I always get some dust under there. Anyone have solutions?

Heya guys,
I recently bought a clarivue glass screen protector for my note 2. screwed up the lining up the first time, then when i tried to reapply it, i messed it up because there was too much dust underneath.
I thought to my self 'man, theres too much dust for a little piece of scotch tape to remove'
then i thought to myself 'what if i use two big fat pieces of scotch tape and tape the complete underside (the sticky side) of the screen protector to remove all the dust at once, and then peel off and reapply?'
guess what? it works. I used two of the widest scotch tape i could get, and taped the complete underside of the screen protector. then peeled it off as if it were the protective layer for the screen protector. got a perfect application after doing this, no dust underneath at all!!!
So, for all you guys who payed $20-50 for expensive screen protectors and dont want to throw them away, this will save you heartache and money.
OMG, I was literally just thinking about how to fix my screen protector mishap (dust underneath)! Thanks for the idea, probably try it out tomorrow.

Best way to remove dust is using a lint roller. Use it on your phone's screen prior to applying any screen protector. You can also remove dust from the sticky side of the protector

Thanks guys! It's so funny you mentioned this as I also bought a clarivue glass screen protector and have the same issue! The sticky side attracts so much dust even if you think you're in a dust free environment! I was thinking about washing mine but I think I will give this a go tonight as I have one screen bubble that's annoying me!
Also when you say scotch tape do you mean the brown parcel packing tape or the semi-transparent magic tape one?

i used the transparent one.
although if your tape is thick, theres a chance that there might be a line of dust where the tape overlaps. if you're worried about that, go to your local newsagent and buy a roll of contact (the stuff you use to laminate/cover books). that stuff costs 50c for about a square metre or so, and you can cut a piece that is big enough to cover your entire screen protector.
this stuff is magical!!!!!

Any chance you guys could post some pictures of the Clarivue glass on your note 2?
One I get mine cleaned up and bubble free I'll try and put a few up. Cheers.
Any technique of how to apply glass screen protector. My sp does not adhere at the edges.

A technique that I used on my previous phone was to apply the sp in the bath room with the shower running hot. Wait for the room to stream up then start to install the sp. You can wait till someone is using the shower like a girlfriend... Because it would be weird if you did it while your mom, dad, sister or brother was in the shower. :silly:

Ive known this technique since the first PSP came out(its not even necessary anymore nowadays). Im talking about the glass screen protector not sticking at the edges.

Its not going to stick all the way to the edges since the glass on the note 2 is beveled around the edge(has a slight downward curve) so the screen protector can't make contact
I like to break stuff!
Edited
I used the shower steam method last night and it helped a great deal! managed to get a perfect install and got rid of 99% of those pesky bubbles. Just waiting for it to adhere through the 48hours on the edges. Importantly I don't have any on the screen. Can't even tell there's a protector on with this. Also thumbs up for the tape idea. I used two large strips of brown parcel tape as was able to clean up my protector like new before reapplying! :laugh:
Hehe, you're welcome. its a good screen protector, and for the price we payed, we shouldnt need to buy another one!

Damn right! The only thing that annoys me is trying to lift it up again to realign I think my nails are making the adhesive raise up so I need to push it down otherwise the edge won't sit properly.
I totally just did this and it worked wonders!!! I had dust under mine from start!!
Does anyone knows how to clean the dust between the glass and plastic rubber that is around the phone?
It is annoying and i tried putting the device underwater.
It is there again after drying...
Suggestions?

the dent is kinda deep so softening the plastic and resurfacing wont workout
so i guess i should fill it up with some kind of material
but the problem is i donno what
Why bother? I don't think anything you'd fill it with would look good unfortunately, might look messy. Just live with it its not too bad! A case would cover that anyway
plz help me !!!
i really dont like using cases :'( i dont mind it looking messy cuz i can cover it up with some skin if i could surface it
Hi all,
Who in here use your Moto X without skin or cover or case on backcover? Any scratches there?

I've been using it for the past 1 year without screenguard and cases.
Got a small dent on the plastic frame... and a minor scratch in the glass.
both are not clearly visible though.... one needs a closer look to find those... :silly:
