InvisibleSHIELD 20% coupon code - Protect your Samsung Impression

I have 3 of these phones in my family and did all 3 of them myself. Great product by the way. This is just for the display screen only.

Here is the deal....This is not a project the average person can deal with unless you are detail oriented and have tons of patience and a few tips from an old window tinter.

1st tip...  The water spray they give you has no soap in it. All you need is plain dish soap no color or fragrance kind. Add 1 very small drop of it to the spray bottle full of water. Now your water is slick and the I/S should slide around when you put it in place. Yes that little booger is made with very close tolerances so you have to put it in place just right. That is the reason for the soap. Now you say hey Stupid that soap will keep it from sticking...well your right there but when you squeeze out and it all dries it will stick just fine. Don't be alarmed when your done if there is a slight haze behind the shield once the soap and water dry you wont even see it. Trust me I tinted windows for many years and that is how it works.

2nd tip... The water thingy thing people are worried about is a valid concern... If you read the directions in small print it states you should turn off your phone and leave it off for 24 hours or something. Right after I read that I said no freaking way can I turn my phone off for 24 hours and wait for water to dry...First take out the battery and put the cover back on. Get the oldest wash cloth you own and use it to clean your screen. (old ones don't shed as much as a new one) One squirt of that soapy spray on the screen only. If it's not clean do it again. REMEMBER THIS IS A PIECE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT you don't need to give it a bath you just want the screen spotless and dust free.

Now get a friend to help you spray water as you separate the I/S from its backing. To much is OK you don't want it to stick to anything even itself. Oh make sure your fingers are wet as well when you touch it so you don't leave your finger print on it. You can use tweezers here if you like. I did after the first one I put on. I have fat fingers and no nails.

Now have your friend spray the phone screen very lightly one or two pumps is all it needs should have a light mist all over the face of the phone.
 
Now have them squirt the heck out of the I/S you have in your hand. Should be dripping water everywhere. Drop that puppy on the phone and use tweezers to position in the exact spot one the screen face. (this is the reason for the soapy water) Now before you squeegee out the water take the tweezers and push 2 spots at the top of the phone to help stick/hold it in place just a bit. MAKE SURE IT IS PERFECTLY CENTERED ON THE SCREEN. Start in the top/middle and squeeze out bottom then do the top. Now right after you do that....tip that phone over and tap it on the wash cloth a bunch to get any water that went in the cracks out. If you think it's dry tap each end of it in the palm of your hand and see if your palm is wet. I had more water in the button end than in the speaker end just for the fact of wiping more of the water that way instead of to the speaker. Just thought the buttons would have more water protection than the speaker would.

3rd tip... Take off the back cover and slide open the phone and see if you got any water anywhere. Dry it up if you do. Fire up the hair drier on low heat and dry that phone. Just make it nice and warm. I let mine sit for one hour and put my battery back in and fired it up. Looks great. Might have alight haze for a day or two but like I said once it dries completely it will be gone.

4th tip... Don't even think about putting one of these on your phone unless you are detail oriented and have tons of patience.

Hope that helps someone either way you go.

Ugh, I used these tips, and mine looks like crap. It's not so bad when the screen is on... and doesn't at all interfere with operation, but I have bubbles on the corners, as the full body skin isn't really cut correctly. The screen is ever so slightly indented into the body of the phone, and the full body cover just goes over top.

I have a few rather nasty bubbles around the edges as well, but they're all but invisible when the screen is on. They're not even really bubbles, they're almost... wrinkles. I simply couldn't move the protector into place in time for the sticky stuff to not adhere to the phone for me to make adjustments.

The backing material gets INCREDIBLY sticky, INCREDIBLY quickly. Doing a little at a time helps, but only until you're about half way through depositing it on your phone. The good news is, I'm so far able to rub the bubbles out... it takes a long time, and a lot of patience, but since the invisible shield is so durable, it's just a matter of patience to get them out.

i just wet my fingers with the sponge and slid the screen protector over the sponge untill it was all wet and placed it on the screen but the screen protector wouldnt slide around but i got it pretty accurate for just a face protector

the only problem with the screen protector is that it likes to show finger prints on it
