Have any of you bought the skins from Best Skins Ever? I was just reading the directions and it's unbelievable what you must go through to apply this skin! I didn't realize it was so involved. Mixing a solution of water and soap in a spray bottle, waiting 24 hours before turning on the device after applying.

Who can be without their phone for 24 hours? I feel that I just wasted my money!

I have bought many skins from them, theyre great. Its same as an invisible shield but they dont give you fancy packaging or the bottle of solution, which saves you about 10-15$.

The instructions may seem daunting but theyre quite easy. mix some water with a bit of dish washer liquid soap, and either use a spray bottle or dunk the skin in it, shake off the excess liquid and apply it to the phone, squegee out the bubbles, and then let it dry. The solution lets you slide the skin around to position it perfectly before it dries and sticks, and also doesnt allow airbubbles (water bubbles are much easier to squeegee out).
 
You don't have to wait 24 hrs. I applied mine yesterday, wiped out the excess water, left it in moderate sunlight for 30 min, then popped the bumper back on. No problems. It takes 24 hrs to cure fully, but it's useable very quickly after application. Just be cautious of the edges peeling immediately after application.
