Does your screen protector have any issues with sticking around the sides? I just put mine on, and the top of the front wont stick, and the bottom of the back isn't stick down. Anyone have issues?
 
Gently peel off the nearest corner to the bubble with a piece of scotch tape. With your other hand, dab a second piece of scotch tape underneath the film (depending on what's causing the bubble, either toward the film or away). When you let the film re-apply itself to the glass, use your finger to help smooth the film against the glass in a downward stroke toward the top or bottom edge.

Yea, I had some bubbles on the sides that wouldn't go away either. Eventually got em though.

Do this, but also try to press and hold down for 30 seconds, that may help as well.

I can confirm this works perfect... I had a few dust pieces under mine during the install and used this method to get rid of it.
