Hello Everyone,

I tried to install a screen protector on my iPhone 8 Plus. I purchased the following screen protector from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-iPhon...0752WHY2B/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

It took me 20-30 mins to install, mainly because I'm slightly OCD, and I finally got it installed. HOWEVER, it is still not 100% perfect unfortunately.

I'm okay with this protector for the short-term, but does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to install screen protectors on these iPhone Plus models easily? Should I be looking at a different brand if there are others that make the installation process simple? The Spigen kit I bought came with 2 screen protectors in the box, so I also just might rip this one off and try again in a few days with the spare.

Thanks in advance for everyone's time and help, it is greatly appreciated.

While there are couple of ways to install a screen protector but Spigen Glas.tr screen protector has this 2 pull tabs on each side to help you install perfectly. I usually use a case and then install over it using those two as a guide.
 
Found this one:

A little humidity from a shower and an air can help, but I've just come to expect a little bit of dust and a slightly off center screen.


Hot shower Humid bathroom and air can dust remover and I can put on screen protectors with no dust/lent underneath. If there is any dust I usually have to take it off it bothers me too much no matter how much I try to ignore it.

trick is to clean screen and use the compressed air to blow off all dust and lint right before applying the protector..... works like a charm everytime
 
eBay fitting tools I use them and install my glass protectors myself and for friends and family as I’ve collected the different models the over the years - I have from the 6 up to the X

Yeah, I just did my first dust free install!

The 2 am films had some scratches and marks on them, but they do cover the viewable screen area if you're perfect with it. I wish they would extend out just an extra mm. The screen doesn't curve RIGHT at the viewable screen edge. The am glass's VERY clear tho and it's not bubbled at the edges at all. 9/10
