Hey guys,

Just got back from a US-trip and I bought myself a pack of P800 screen protectors (from Expansys) in a shop on Madison Ave in NYC.

Now I was wondering how you can apply these screenprotectors to your P800 without having bubbles underneath it so that it looks nice and clear?

Can anyone shed some light on that?

Thanks!

just be real careful and push any out that appear. i found using a credit card works nicely. plus, the particular screen protector you buy has a role in this and usually has directions. people seem to like brando alot

brando just snaps on... hugs the screen tight, and is stiff enough not to cause bubbling.

start on one edge... work your way slowly, when a bubble appears, pull the protector back and lay it again... slowly until everything is laid out.

I found using water (only a little!) helps. I cleaned my brando in a glass of water, (no dust!) and then simply whacked it on wet. Most of the liquid dissipates as soon as you remove it from the water, and excess can be squeezed out using a credit card wrapped in lint free cloth. Works for me! This message was posted from a P800

Hmm I dont like the idea of even a drop of water anywhere near my p800! Besides, any sign of water damage usually voids any warrenty.

How to get the Brando off, is another question?

I'm not keen about puttting a sharp pointy thing near the P800 screen to prise up the edge of the Brando, but I can't think of any other way... Like Firebird below, I have an *extremely* annoying dust particle that I want to get rid of..

Ideas anyone?

why not try using your stylus ? it should by construction be softer than the touchscreen to not cause scratches.
by the way - anyone saw the new futurama ? great bender stuff

@SPC
@Firebird
Use the protective film brando comes with,which you peels off before sticking the sceen protector to the screen. That works really well for me and I am quite sure its better than the stylus or any other sharp object.If by any chance you already thrown away the protective film of the screen protector the use a piece of transperency. If you can't see some space between the screen protector and the screen to peel it off then remove the flip of the P800 then you will definitely see loads of space to start with.

A word of warning SPC I had the same problem of having a tiny lint particle when I stuck my brando initially and I peeled off the screen protector to remove it and which I did but by that time it collected more lint and I had to remove the lint from the screen protector later using a cellophane tape (surgical one). So if it is not that much a bother don't try to remove the particle.
