hands out home many people out there pull there hair out, to try and apply a screen protector to there iPhone ( i will put my hand up 10 times) well today i found the solution.

get somebody else to do it !

I was walking out of the Chadstone apple store today, and as i walked past one of those else cheapo, places that sell el cheapo cases, i watched a young chinese lady apply a screen protecter so well it blew my mind, so i thought what the heck, i whipped mine out of my pocket, and said can you do mine please :D

Well she DID, and its probably the BEST applied screen protector, i have ever had pom any iPhone i have owned in the last 5 years, not a bubble, not a speck of dust... its just BRILLIANT :yahoo:

And all for 11.00 bucks... WHAT a Damn Bargain. So stop pulling your hair out, go to your local little stand, that sells screen protectors and cases, get your 10 or 11 bucks out and walk away as happy as i am

I was, but I watched this lovely lady, apply one to an iPad with just as much ease as she did with the iPhone , and that sold me on the idea of having somebody else do it.

I walked past that stand at Chadstone when I was over there in December and was going to ask if they applied screen protectors but didn't in the end... wish I had done so now.
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.

Hey Brian

Original one purchased through the store suffered quite a deep shade of pink and made the brightness suffer quite a bit, genius took a look at and replaced it straight away, put side by side with one in the store was like chalk and cheese.

The replacement had a couple of pixels go after a couple of days that were smack bang in the middle of the screen which was extremely annoying so back it went.

Current one all good thou, shame I didn't bring it to the attention when I first noticed something might not be right as i may have got it replaced with one in the white box (newbie), so now I have different serial numbers from my device to my original box......yea i know.....might be a bit silly to mention but I'm just fussy that way, I like my gear to match the original packaging as I keep everything.

Cheers
