it looks like there is dust on the edge, but that was because it was there BEFORE i put it on

Also it looks like the screen quality has gone down in the pic, thats NOT the case, its like its not even on their...it looks different because of the picture

grentz-you're not going to impress anyone in the "post your today screen" thread(more clutter, more better)!
Nice boxwave. Is it the crystal?

It seems like the edges of my boxwave is refusing to stick. Anybody else with this problem?

Well, the problem is along the top and along the bottom of the screen. The plastic is lifted up slightly like the edges aren't sticky anymore.

This seems to be standard with the "Crystal" style protectors (regardless of the manufacturer).

I get little air pockets along a couple of the edges. I just rub them down again and they come back. It's really not bothersome to me.

Quoted for the truth! My review: I just finished placing mine on (first try) and its amazingly clear like it wasn't even there (i guess thats why its called crystal ). With the stylus it seems to glide quite nicely with good and even drag.

If you are a perfectionist like me, installing any screen protector is tricky. I used the steamed bathroom, band-aid, and air-can technique. The edges are nice and seem to stick quite strongly. The included softcard took care of the airbubbles. The only nitpick I have is that its really hard to get it centered (mine is aligned at the very right edge leaving a 0.5mm gap on the left). My hands tended to shake like mad when performing the surgery so you might want to down some beer before you do the proceedure. All-in-all, i'm really impressed with the package and quality so big props to Boxwave

12.95 for one screen cover and it better be good! Since Grentz recomended it, I am going to order it.
