Screen Protector Bubbles

My screen protector has bubbles between it and the actually screen. Anyone know the easiest way to remove these bubbles. It looks like dust and dirt but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance

I would try removing the screen protector and cleaning your screen with the soft cloth that came with your phone. Do the same with the screen protector then replace it. Some screen protectors require you to use a credit card over the protector to force the bubbles out.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Don't use a screen protector. They are a scam; the iPhone is unscratchable.

That doesn't disagree with me or the video. That just makes us wonder wtf you were doing with your iPhone.

How did they do it? I have swiped a key across mine a few times just because of what I saw on that video and it didn't scratch. It seems like to me you'd have to take it rockclimbing or something to scratch. It could be cracks, from dropping it maybe? IDK I had a screen protector on mine for about 5 minutes and couldn't stand it, and then my friend showed me this video. I just don't see how you could scratch it unless you took a diamond ring across the front of it.

I work construction and that is a bad environment for anything electronic that you carry..ie: phones, ipods, just to name a few. The one guy dropped his phone while on top of a 12foot ladder into a pile of gravel. The other guy is not sure how he scratched it but thinks it's from putting tools in his back pocket were he keeps his phone. It could have been from a screwdriver or razor knife or who knows what.

I asked him why in the hell would you do that with your phone, your just asking for trouble...he doesn't do it anymore.

As far as screen protectors go I use a Luxmo and it works great. It's very clear and the phone reacts to your finger touch just like it would without a screen protector on. I also use a Speck ToughSkin heavy duty rubber case for my phone. It is a very nice case for the environment I work in.

I would prefer not to use either but my job kinda demands it and I don't want to screw up my $400 phone.

Cheers!

Use a credit card and push them out. You need to use a lil bit of force.
