I just got my phantom skinz, bought it during their 1+1 free offer(infact i ordered full body matte- yet, it includes: 2 back pieces, 2 front pieces, and, 2 more front crystal pieces!)
i read the instructions and it says its a wet install but i damaged my HTC One X a few months ago because of wet instal screen protector(gadgetshieldz.com) and im sure if i do it again with my iPhone 5, i will damage it with water.

so can i dry install the protectors? would it pose any problem?

wet installs are easy and bubble/dust free but its a 900$ risk lol

Not really a risk. I love wet installs when it comes to back protectors. I'm currently rocking their matte back and wet install is the best way to go. You don't HAVE to do a wet install but I can't imagine the end result being as pretty as it would if you had done it as a wet install.

My advice is do this, when using a card or something to push our the water, wrap the item you're using to do so with a layer of paper towel so that when you come to the edge, it picks up the water right away.
