I actually put the protector on with the phone out of the case and was experiencing the slight issue before I put it in the case (putting it in the case did not make it worse, however). I did spend a good 20-30 minutes giving it the ol' elbow grease before putting it in the case. I can definitely push the lines out, but they come back right away as soon as I move pressure back off those places. Will see how it goes over the next couple days.
Nice product overall, but I have serious doubts that I would buy anything else from this company for how many lies they've told and how unprofessional they have been, particularly towards their backers.
