Screen protecting is great if done right. It can increase the resell value of your phone, keep away annoying hair scratches (even on Gorilla Glass) and prevent damage to your screen in the event of a fall or accidental drop (we’ve all been there). But there are a lot of people out there who are convinced that they can’t install a screen protector correctly on their own. They think there’s no other option than to fork up all kinds of money for over-priced screen protectors at Best Buy (cough – ZAGG – cough), only to then pay through the nose and have an employee install it for them. Not true.

I’ve oft been asked by friends and family how I manage to keep my phones looking mint condition, with a screen protector invisible to the naked eye. “Oh, you must have spent a fortune on expensive screen protectors?” Not at all. “Did you pay a professional to apply it?” Nope. “Was any kind of black-magic involved?” No, sir. Only some good, old fashioned Mexican ingenuity!

I’m here to show you guys that you can install a cheap, great quality screen protector, without any bubbles or blemishes getting in your way. You wont even need tape, microfiber cloths, water bottles or tools of any kind to get the job done. All you need is your screen protector and a little bit of know how. Nothing should come between you and a flawless looking, protected Android device. So hurry up and watch my video!

Screen Protecting 101 tips to remember:

Cheap screen protectors from eBay or Amazon work perfect (never buy from a carrier retail store).
For best results, use a credit card (and wear a v-neck) when applying. Although not necessary, there will be less bubbles to remove later.
The clearer a screen protector is, often times the easier it will scratch. Buy in bulk.
Bubbles are okay, it’s dust that is the true enemy. Once dust is under your screen protector, there is nothing you can do to remove that bubble.
Remove bubbles that form along the side of your phone from an angle, moving up and down the side of your device (not from the inside working your way out).
