how the hell do you get rid of air bubbles from under a screen protector, and what cloth can you use without it rubbing off onto the sticky side.
i dont like the sony screen protector :mad: and i wouldnt recommend it.
plze enlighten me on how to get rid of air bubbles without taking off the protector.

Creditcard and smooth it when you apply it. Its too late now cuz it already bubbled. Take it off, apply new one and use a creditcard to smoothen it.

You have to go into Advanced Reply and click on the Insert Image button. You then right click on an image you find on the web and select Properties. Copy that URL & paste it into the Insert Image box.
If you want to insert an image you have on your PC you are going to have to upload it to some place on the web, then follow the above instructions.
hehe, i have those too. What you have to do, i think, is to get those screen wipes, u can get those dry or wet LCD wipes and clean out the screen. Make sure you get every dust off, then quickly apply the screen protector. U can get those cheap screen protectors, universal ones, and cut it to your own size. You don't have to get the sony one. So as you were applying on the protectors, flatten it down as you the screen sticks on the screen little by little until you're finished.
I prefer one that is custom made but cutting is brilliant. Now what is a good brand I should buy next? I been using Brando, I think...

Well the way that I get the dust off the actual sticky side of my protector is scotch tape. Scotch tape is such a godsend when applying these things - just take a piece and stick it to some dust and pull it off, try not to touch the sticky side with your fingers because you'll get prints all over it and THEN you have to actually clean it with water (assuming it's a reusable one). This also works on the screen of your UX. But remember, scotch tape, not any other tape because the others might leave residue or pull your screen apart. :)

Martin Fields overlays are an excellent choice. I have used the sony, and belkin ones but Martin Fields are the best. Crystal clear quality!
Dinan brings a great solution though I always think that was a hassle and they are cheap so I buy new ones - they come in packs of 3 and I havent even finished my second one yet after 6 months. I dont see Martin Fields at Futureshop, darn Canadians are so slow with technology.

Leave your Clie in a hot car for a few hours, that always solves my bubble problem!

Sounds like a good way to knacker your battery though!

No way to apply this shi* to the screen. I am so angry that things which should be simple for people use are so complicated, looks like i should have an expert knowledge + practice to apply it...
Air bubbles that's first, but i think i can handle it, but how to fix problem with the corners? It looks like screen protector doesn't lay properly, it takes off by itself (but it is on the good side). Maybe after few washes it is broken?
EDIT: I forgot to add that it is Brando Ultra Screen Protector.
