Product does not work if there is any amount of dust in you house. Do not use the micro cloth they give you because it adds random small fibers. Even a small piece of dust will leave a bubble the size if a water drop and if you try to get rid of the dust, more will collect. You might as well just throw your money away.

As everyone else said, make sure the screen is completely and totally free of dust before you start. The more careful you are putting the screen protector on, the happier you will likely be with the results.
My complaint is that it’s just as shiny as the original screen. If I have my iPad turned off and look at it with the screen protector on it, I have a lovely glossy reflection of myself that looks about as mirror-like as the original iPad screen. And it doesn’t seem to be any more resistant to finger smudges than the original.
In the “Technical Details” section here at Amazon, it says it’s an “anti-glare product” but I don’t see how that’s possible – it looks really glossy and there’s just as much glare as the original. I have a matte screen protector for my iPhone that kills the glare and is also really good at keeping smudges off the screen and when I bought this product I thought that I would be buying something similar. Instead, it’s about the same as it was without the protector.
So I’m happy enough with the fit of the protector and it looks really good on my iPad – you can’t even tell it’s there at all – but it doesn’t seem any better than what I had originally.

I would be more than happy to rate this product higher if I didn’t have to purchase another set to get a clean application. I followed the directions as well as various suggestions I had read in other reviews for getting a bubble free finish. My first first attempt went on crooked, but with only one bubble caused by a stray piece of lint. In my following attempts to get it straight and remove the bubble it just got worse. Using the first one to remove the stray pieces of lint that collected, I applied the second sheet, only to find more bubbles that the soft card did nothing to remove. The more I tried to fix it, the worse it got. I now have a screen protector that looks like it was applied by a child in a sand box but due to the fact that my child likes to put her sticky fingers on my screen, I am forced to leave it until I get a replacement.
On the plus side, the size is good, though I suggest applying bottom to top, lining up the button holes first, rather than top to bottom and I like that the screen protector makes my ipad less sensitive to random touches.
Other suggestions and comments: they say they are removable and washable – do not wash! Doing so makes them twice as hard to put back on without bubbles. Also, they are scratch resistant and I found a credit card was much more effective than the soft card they provide for removing unwanted bubbles not caused by lint or dust.

It was pretty simple to put on and left few bubbles. I only had one major bubble but since I have a case, it is barely noticeable. Make sure your screen is clean and free of any dust, which is why that one bubble is there. It comes with a card to take out the bubbles and the wiper to clean the screen

Pros: Protects screen as you’d expect; feels much better than glass when tapping and swiping.
Cons: Images don’t look quite as crisp or bright thru an anti-glare surface; while the film doesn’t show fingerprints as much as the glass, it may be slightly more difficult to clean that the glass alone.
Bottom line: For me the pros outweigh the cons. This screen protector is great at a fraction of the price of other covers. I notice no difference between this protector and the Power Support film that I have on my iPhone. The real difficulty with any cover like this is in the application. Here are my tricks for making the application easy.
Hints: There is no cause to scrap a film because you get dust on it. You can peel up the cover, remove the dust and continue. Any application (unless you have a cleanroom handy) will have some dust trapped under the film. You can get a perfect application by removing the dust as soon as you find it. The secret ingredient is: scotch tape.
1) Clean screen with micro fiber cloth.
2) Carefully apply antiglare film while making sure that it is straight and centered before bothering with the dust and bubbles.
3) Use a piece of tape to lift up the film and another piece to pick up each piece of dust that causes a bubble. Touching the screen or film with the tape won’t cause any harm, so you use the tape like a lint roller.
4) Chase out all bubbles (you’ll find more dust in this step).
5) Repeat 3 and 4 until all dust is removed and your have a perfectly clear application.
While this process is tedious, it works and provides beautiful results.
