Just wanted to see if anyone on here has put a Skinomi screen protector on their Bionic yet. I have an anti-glare one on that I got at Verizon. I've gotten used to the way it makes the screen look, but really wasn't thrilled that it doesn't cover the glass entirely like they assured me it would at the store, only really covers the "screen" portion of the glass.
I was looking online for something that would cover the entire glass surface and have the appropriate cutouts for the camera and ear phone and came across the Skinomi one on Amazon and since it seemed pretty reasonably priced I bought it. The description (much like a lot of things I've noticed on Amazon over the years...) didn't really seem all that detailed, wasn't sure how many screen protectors I was even getting when ordering (like how some come in packs of 3). So I was kind of scratching my head when it showed up as what I could tell was a BOX in the shipping package it came in yesterday. I initially thought there might be quite a few in there, only to open up the front flap of the box to reveal a long slender bottle of some type of solution. At this point I was really perplexed, then noticed that the flap I had opened up actually was more like a sleeve which had another flap along the side of it which I opened to find the actual screen protector. I then began to read the installation instructions on the main flap and discovered that the application of these screen protectors uses this liquid solution and it says you need to keep your fingers and the screen itself WET during the application, and then use the provided "scrapper" to work any bubbles and liquid out from between the screen protector and screen. It states that you should NOT get any liquid into any cracks or open areas of the phone (such as the ear phone).... I couldn't help but wonder about the very small "gap" that my phone appears to have all the way around the glass where it doesn't seem to completely touch the body of the phone itself, especially along the top. I figure if this screen protector pretty much covers all of the glass, it's going to be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to NOT get any of that liquid down into that space when working it out during the application process.
Has ANYONE put one of these on their phone, and if so is the process fairly simple/easy? Were you able to not get any liquid into that space around the glass and the body? Is that just on my phone?!? Guess I may be taking this one back for a replacement soon....as I was sitting here at my desk typing this out, I went to turn on the screen and it didn't respond at all. Even holding the button down wouldn't power up the phone and just had to do a battery pull to restart it. This is about the 3rd time in the 2 weeks I've had the phone I've needed to do that..... It didn't get charged overnight last night but is at 50% so it didn't just die on me..... ugh.....
