Had a terrible time installing this product

I have Mr. Schild and have been happy with them. For some reason I didn't have a very good time trying to install this product. general. on my Samsung Galaxy S 10.5 tablet. I currently have 9 tablets and this is the first time I've had a negative result with tempered glass screen protectors. I've used cling film types and wet types and have had mixed results, but have always successfully installed glass types. I recently purchased a Megoo screen protector for my Surface Pro 3 and Techmatte's AMfilm film for my iPad Air 2 and the installation went smoothly. With Mr. Shield for some reason I didn't succeed immediately after both attempts (they send 2 which is great for the price). I followed my usual routine of wiping away dirt and residue with a damp cloth, then wiping with a dry cloth, then a microfiber cloth to ensure no streaks, stains or dust remained. At this stage I usually wear nitrile/latex gloves or make sure to dry and dry my hands. On my first try, I just got started: I removed the back sheet, carefully aligned the screen protector to the screen, and slowly placed it on my device. Once satisfied with the alignment, I gently applied pressure to one side and let the tread do its thing while watching the glass stick. The problem was that huge air bubbles formed in the middle and on both sides. Not a big deal, I can usually use the cardboard that came with it and my microfiber cloth to wring them out. I could handle the ones in the middle, but I couldn't burst the huge bubbles on the sides in my entire life. As if tempered glass refused to stick. I raised my glass and tried it a second time with the same result. In desperation, I took off the first protector and threw it away. Luckily there was a second one and I reused my microfiber cloth and tried a different approach. I just removed the film from the top, oriented it at an angle to my device and began to slowly place it onto my device, using the supplied tape as leverage while removing the protective film and gradually lowering the glass. When I got to the end the alignment was great again but there were still blisters on the sides but on the other pair of sides. I tried from light to slightly harder pressure but the profile didn't stick! The quality of the product is right. The packaging and tools that the company provides you with for a successful installation are also of high quality. Unfortunately I had to order another brand to see if it works better and I'm still waiting to see if it's a product issue or if something on my device is preventing a successful install. The touchscreen capability is fully functional. I'm not sure if this product can be considered anti-glare but I only use my devices indoors where glare isn't typically a problem. I really wanted this product to be liked and I just hope it was an anomaly.
