    Probably too late... but my advice is:

    * Watch the installation videos on the manufacturer's website.

    * Wash your hands.

    * Spray your fingertips AND the piece you're about to put on.

    * Budget the spray - make sure you have half left when you're half way through.

    * Make sure there's no hairs, dust, fingermarks, etc on any of the phone's surfaces before you install it.

    * Don't be afraid to peel bits back of to reposition them, but don't stretch them or they won't fit.

    * Check frequently that corners and edges haven't sprung up and unstuck themselves. If they do this, press and hold it down with your palm for 15 seconds. Repeat as often as required - eventually it will stick down.

    * Also check the above every 10 to 30 minutes (longer as time goes on) after you've installed it for the first day.

    * Don't use your phone for at least an hour. Preferably 24 hours.

    * Whatever you do, do NOT put it in your pocket, hostler, or anything that grips the phone, in the next 24 hours or it'll ruin it.

    No matter what you do, you'll end up with little marks and bubbles under the surface. These honestly do disappear after a week.

    And do it inside a steamy bathroom, don`t be afraid to re adjust the skin cause once it`s on there it wont look perfect.

    Make sure you phone is warm if you're doing it in a steamy bathroom, otherwise it'll get condensation inside it!

    Good tip for installing it though - never thought of that.

    it doesnt have its awesome shiny glare yet, and the corners on the back keep springing up, its not the ends of the shield, its between the corner and the top and its just annoying to feel.

    Rubber band around the edges, the ones with wide straps.
    Do not use the phone for at least a day.

    Has anybody ever tried putting a hard case on top of the invisibleshield? If so which case is it. I tried it once and I ended up having to not use the piece that goes on the "chin". Just curious if there is a case that does work with it
