The installation instructions are odd and didn't work for me. I trashed the first of the 2 protectors after trying to install according to the instructions. The second one I installed as if it were a phone screen protecter, and it went on much smoother and easier.Basically, I cleaned the device with a moist towelette in order to remove as much dust and fingerprints as possible. Used the provided cloth to quickly dry and remove any more dust. Then I peeled of "step 1" and placed it on the device as close to the corners as I could. I had 2 tricky pieces of dust I removed using a combination of the "hinges" and my finger. Ultimately I still have a couple of bubbles, but nothing that I notice when reading. :)UPDATE: (Rating changed from 3 to 5 stars)Shortly after posting my original review I was contacted by the seller, who offered to send me new screen protectors and "recommend[ed] installing ... in a steamy bathroom with the shower running. I know it sounds odd, but it's very effective at controlling dust during the installation." Since these would come to me at no cost, how could I refuse? Also I'd try it with the shower on.7 days later, the new protectors arrived. Abiding by the strange suggestion, I turn on the shower in my bathroom and open the packaging. This instructions were a little different than the first package, as it did not include "rubber bands" or "hinge stickers". Instead these were instructed to install similarly to a typical screen protector. Peel, lineup, stick, smooth, and enjoy.This time the installation went much smoother. It was less finicky and there seemed to be less dust (thanks to the shower running the whole time, I suppose). The protector is on much better than the first one. I'd estimate it is 99% bubble free. I'm much happier with this installation, and I still have the second protector!
