Now we have a winner.

Looks like a good screen protector and it's good that two of these are included. Follow the instructions but they leave a bit to your imagination. I had a speck of dust in the top left corner after installation. I had to lift the protective screen and very carefully use the tip of a pocket knife blade to remove the dust. The speck of dust was about halfway down the frame area - 1/4 inch from the edge next to the speaker. With the tip of a knife, I extracted a speck of dust from the adhesive on the protective film of the display. The instructions say you can raise the screen multiple times. and reapply. My experience is different. He lifted the corner just enough for the tip of the blade to slide underneath to collect dust, then lowered the screen and pushed the air bubbles out to the rim. Now I have 3 air bubbles about 1 1/4 inch in diameter in the corner that I can't get rid of. He lifted the corner of the screen a second time and pressed the edge of the credit card to stir the bubbles. I can't get the blisters out no matter how hard I try. They state that the small blisters will disappear in 1-2 days. So now we wait, but I don't think 1/4 inch air bubbles are small. Some observations from limited testing: 1. Fingerprints are gone! The coating they use really works compared to the Gorilla 3 glass used on the Surface Go. .2.Tablet mode and using your finger to scroll the screen now creates a small gray ghost trail which I didn't notice until I installed a screen protector. Not a deal breaker or real hindrance to operation - just an observation .3. It's an HD screen, not a matte finish so you'll still get glare. So make sure it's what you need. I'll rarely use it outside, so I don't really care. The protective film does not scatter the screen. .four. Fit. I aligned the screen to the bottom edge of the black bezel and attached two loops of tape. This leaves about 1/8" on top and 1/16" on the sides. I want to remove the entire screen to set it 1/16 inch higher and risk it not sticking like I'm experiencing on the corner with air bubbles. Gorilla Glass doesn't really need protection, but it shows fingerprints like crazy. That's why I bought this product and it reduces fingerprints significantly, if not completely. Let's see how long this lasts. Update 17/08/2018 The seller (Tessmall) emailed me to say that due to the above issue they would send me another batch of two screens at their expense. It definitely shows that they care about their customers. However, do not accept their offer. They sent me a search term (installing Omoton 02 tempered glass tablet screen protector) which links to YouTube for installation instructions. This isn't rocket science, but I encourage you to check it out. I installed the second screen protector as shown in the video but as you will see in the video it takes time and a good steady hand to align the screen protector to your tablet screen. . They offer 3 card orientation tabs, but the instructions and videos only show how to use two. I strongly recommend using 3 strips of tape. Turn the tray over and place 3 tabs along the long edge (I used the bottom edge). Now turn it over and place the protective film with the attached adhesive film on the tablet so that it is in contact with the tablet screen. The tricky part is keeping the protector from slipping while you grab the middle glue tab. It's tricky, so I added a 3" piece of tape on each side, attached about 1" to the tread. screen and the rest depends on the edge. Now use these two adhesive strips to align the screen with the tablet and when it is exactly where you want it, simply press down on both adhesive strips and stick them to the tablet's surface. is on the screen. You now have two tabs holding the screen in place while you fold in the other 3 tabs (in the middle first). Check the alignment while the center tab is attached to the screen. If still good, fold the other two tabs over. If not, you can easily align them by lifting and sliding the E-Band anchors. Now remove the tape tabs, now bend the folding screen aside and clean the tablet screen as shown in the video. Remove the adhesive protective film and fold the protective film back onto the tablet. If you fixed (pressed) the hinge tabs on the sides of the tablet during installation, there is no play in the hinge joints and the screen protector fits the tablet perfectly. It took me longer to write this than it actually took. This second try was perfect, no dust, no bubbles. I have nothing to fault the seller other than not including a link to a video tutorial in their ad that would have made the instructions clear ". Then wipe off any remaining liquid with a microfiber cloth." 5 star rating - no more fingerprints ! The instructions require some work.
