eTECH Collection 3 Pack of Clear Screen Protector for Apple iPad Air/iPad Air 2 (fits both iPad Air and iPad Air 2nd Generation) with Retina Display - Free Shipping From USA

Applying screen protectors is a real tricky task. It took me three tries to successfully apply the screen protector. I discovered a trick on my on. I have a plastic flyer that I acquired a few months back. It's about the thickness of a credit card and is as wide as the iPad Air. While installing the screen protector, I used the plastic flyer by applying pressure while rolling it. It worked like a charm. Another note, I turned the iPad in landscape orientation. It was much easier to install the screen protector this way. I gave this item 5 stars because it worked out in the end, and I've always had difficulties with other screen protectors.Update:I wanted to post an update to this review because I found another very clever method of applying the screen protector. It requires masking tape. Cut 2 or 3 pieces of masking tape, about 1 inch long each. Place the iPad in a landscape orientation (long side facing you). Without removing any of the protective film, align the protector and apply 2 or 3 pieces of the masking tape on the edge facing you so that the protector is perfectly aligned and opens and closes like a reading book. If there are any dust particles on the iPad's surface, then be sure to clean it now. I recommend using a compressed air can. When you are satisfied with the alignment, remove the inner protective film (to expose the sticky part of the protector). Then gently fold the protector over the surface of the iPad. You should get a nice, perfect fit. You can use the method I described above to remove the air pockets. After removing the air pockets, remove the masking tape and the protective film on the top side of the protector.Hope this helps!

I received my IPad Air2 as a gift. I did notice that the screen was very prone to finger prints. Not a big deal really, but started reading and comparing different products on Amazon when I saw the eTECH listed for only $4 dollars and some change with free shipping and tax free. I figured for that price I could at least practice with the installation and get more later. I read a couple reviews saying it was a real pain to get them on straight and without bubbles. One of the reviews, explained in very good detail how to install them the easiest way with the best results. I received my delivery within a week and attempted to install it as the previous reviewer suggested and it went very well the first time. The key is cleanliness. I mean very clean. Before you take the protective film off, align the clear protector with the IPad and tape one long side, making sure to check the alignment continuously. When your satisfied with the alignment lift the open side of the film up like a page from a book and carefully remove the protective film from the IPad side of the cover film and gently lay the film on the IPad. Before removing the outer covering and using a credit card or drivers license, slowly start at the side thats taped and start pushing the bubbles to the opposite side of the IPad. Take your time and slowly push all the bubbles out from under the film. As I said before, I can't take credit for this method of installing the film, but it worked for me. Hope this helps someone else! Enjoy! (A bit long winded! Sorry!)

I would say this is the best screen protector to buy for your iPad Air.1. It is affordable. No question about it. Plus its free shipping.2. It has good quality, clarity is perfect, it has smooth texture.3. Perfect fit on the iPad screen.4. Has 3 in a pack. Never worry about having a dust when you install it for first time.No need to buy fancy and expensive screen protector, this one will serve it's purpose very well.There are customers complaining about bubbles and dust. It can happen to any screen protector regardless of brand. This is more of an installation issue. You got to have technique, patience and clean room during installation, wash your hands, be ready to have a magic tape to remove dust when it sticks.

Hey finally got them after 6 days. Acceptable waiting time.I followed the YouTube video and tried to applied the first one. It did not work out good enough. So I threw it away. And the reason why it went bad was that I lift it up and tried to clean up the fuzz too many time so it was being "exposed" too long. It causes even more fuzz on it.Then here is how I did the second. After I placed it with the masking tape and peeled of the Step 1, I wiped off the screen again. Then I SLOWLY laid it down with a credit card. Like really slow so it barely caused bubbles. Even there were bubbles or some tiny fuzz ( as long as it's not a big crumb ), I didn't stop until it was laid flat. Then I just used credit card to scratch the bubbles out. It turned out perfect!One more thing, try to get as many bubbles out as you can before take Step 2 off. But some tiny ones you do have to fix it after taking off Step 2. So remember to use the cloth that comes with the item to push bubbles after taking off Step 2!!!! Or else you may end up with a lot of scratches!!!Update: I've been using it for couple weeks now. And it gets a lot of scratches out of no where. I will have to apply another one soon and see how it goes! Will come back and update again.
