Unlike some screen protectors, XO Skins are applied wet. The key to a good install is to apply enough solution on the screen protector and your hands. You squeegee out any bubbles and then you let the screen protector set for 24 hours. There may be some micro bubbles after the install, but they will disappear within 24-48 hours. Most of these screen protectors will cut down on glare, but will not eliminate it.

I have XO skins on two of my tablets and an Xtreme screen protector on another. I like them both and while they do not completely eliminate fingerprints, it cuts them down significantly and they are much less noticeable. In fact, I used to clean my tablet screen practically every day when using them without a screen protector, but I found that I do it much less frequently with a screen protector (usually once a week or more).

Xtreme screen protectors work just as well as XO skins, but is priced a lot less. Like the XO Skins, Xtreme are applied wet. You have to make your own solution with a small bowl of water and a couple of drops of soap. Only use enough soap so the water feels slippery but is not soapy.

I ordered one for my gTab from Amazon and it shipped free and only took about 3 days to arrive. Xtreme is a pretty good company. I was waiting for them to offer a screen protector on Amazon and I found out today that now they do. In fact, I just ordered an Xtreme screen protector on the Amazon site for my son's Kindle Fire.
