Hey I was wondering how many have this setup or used to and if they had any problems? I read about bubbling at the bottom but it doesn't seem to be a major problem. I have the invisible shield now and I'm not to happy with it but I do not have any issues with it and my sliders. Just not happy with the orange peel look, texture, and these lines I have down the right side.

I had the crystal film and the white incase slider. I had tons of bubbling. It drove me NUTS. I finally took off the film. The phone has a ton of finger prints, but no bubbles.
This was a more common problem with the white than the black though.

i have the black one and i have 2 bubbles in the bottom right corner. Not a bunch but enough to bug me im gonna try and reapply it today. Orange peel look? should have gotten the crystal one assuming your talking about the antiglare one. I love the crystal one cant even tell its on there if its lined up correctly.

ahh i see. well im going to exchange my invisible shield tonight to see how much better a better install may look. This one sits perfect it just has a bunch of lines in the film on the one side. I already have two slider cases so i need something thats friendly with them... This is alot more difficult than i thought it would be haha. Thanks for the help though.

I am using the power support crystal that i got from the apple store. I switch between about 4 different incase sliders weekly. I have never had issues with bubbling. It is very hard to center the shield but it has to be like exact.

i agree i took mine off as someone said you could take them off and recenter them and it just wont stick like it did in the beginning. Im gonna take it to the apple store and see if one of the specialists can put my remaining one on there. Sucks that you only get two pieces of plastic for 15 bucks :(.

i've used the crystal and anti-glare films without any bubbles. no problems at all. you just need to have the screen protector aligned good.
i use a few sliders and they all were just perfect

Like two others have said, aligning the screen protector is key! If you don't get it on right, you'll notice the bubbles at the sides because the cases is pushing on the screen protector.

Someone had posted a while ago the best way to install the Crystal Support screen protector with a slider case is to put the case on first and use it to help you align the screen protector for a perfect install.
I myself actually used an exacto knife to trim the inner edge of the case to solve the problem.
either way works. depending one what you want to do.
BTW - do not try to rub the bubbles down with your fingernail. You WILL create bubbles under the glass

Work slowly and use your squeegee to keep a tension on the screen protector as you move it down your screen. This helps keep air bubbles out. You can also pull the area on and off if you see a bubble and it will reapply without bubbles.

if you rub hard enough, the pressure will cause the glue to pull away

did you guys get a queegee with the powersupply crystal one? i didnt receive one.
no, I used a cloth, but when I installed the DLO screen protectors and had bubbling problems, I used my fingernail. Bad choice

ok i used a cloth as well and got my small one out. Im pretty happy with the fitment now have no bubbles and its almost perfect in the home button and speaker. I checked out the anti glare one and was not a fan i like the crystal one can barely tell its on there.
