Mikhail is completely correct. Leave a lot of time for doing the install. If you want it done right, it is not a quick task. Personally, I did the back cover first (several times because I kept messing up with bubbles and such) so that I'd have practice before doing the screen. Fortunately, it is true that you can remove and reinstall the shield before it dries. Just be careful when you're pulling it up not to let the sticky sides touch, it left a small blur on the corner of my screen that I can't get off. (I'll probably exchange my front piece with Zagg, since I'm something of a perfectionist.) As for the "SHIELD spray", I also ran out very fast and had to search Zagg's FAQ. They say that it is "mostly water" and that you can refill the spray bottle from the tap. Unfortunately, they don't mention what the other secret ingredient is. (Thousand island dressing?) Someone mentioned that the shield is a dust magnet. That's probably true, but my screen stays cleaner since I'm no longer worried about wiping it off on something possibly abrasive, like my shirt. --Ben P.S. Mikhail is also correct that the shiny look is cheesy. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
