Installing screen protector gave me unremovable black specs

I finally get a screen protector on perfect just to find out that the screen protector created unremovable dust like specs on the screen "I know cause I tried dish soap and a lot of rubbing to try to get it off with the cloth to no avail" it actually doesn't bother me much but its so weird its like the dust is etched into my screen I used a Duracell iPhone 4s screen prot which I bought by mistake resized it with scissors and put it on any guesses?
 
Hmm, that is odd :confused:
So after you took the screen protector off, there were subtle marks that cannot be removed? Is that screen protector a dry install or a wet install protector?
 
Duracell premium screen protector for use with iPhone 4/4s just peel and stick I used the hinge method YouTube it the minute I put it on black tiny unremovable spots I even tried using tape on the screen to remove the dot but it didn't its right on the screen not the protector also its bubbly looking
 
This is the first time its ever happened but I normally use universal maybe the companies don't want you to use it for android so they mess up your screen lol
 
I'm a wee bit confused here, sorry...is the screen protector off of the device at the moment and this issue occurred?

Or, is the screen protector on the device and you are seeing this speck/bubble issue?
 
During the hinge method you use tape to unpeel the screen protector to remove dust but when I did so there was a black unremovable spot stuck on the screen not the protector I rubbed the actual screen dozens of times to try to get it off but couldent the screen protector is on currently cause I managed to put it on bubble less but the black dot is still on the actual screen I'm just trying to figure out what could of caused this I tested it on my bad phone afterwards and it did the same thing black unremovable specks on the actual screen
 
What device do you have? I have never heard of this before, sorry.

I'd hate to recommend something to use to try to remove the spots and have it mess up even more.
Can you feel the spots with your fingernail? i.e. is something stuck on the screen?
 
I use the Kyocera event virgin mobile I didn't use my nail cause my phone scratches easy but I scrubbed the black speck with fiber cloth then I tried a very little bit of dish soap and scrubbed it with my fiber cloth I felt the screen with my finger and it felt smooth its really odd wishing I picked the right one the universals and iPhones look the same dang Duracell lol the wierdest thing is it looks like its in a bubble on the actual screen like you see when dust gets caught between actual screen and protector
 
Going out on a limb here, but there doesn't happen to be an existing screen protector on the phone already that you weren't aware of, is there?

Otherwise, sorry, but me iz stump-ified :(
 
Nope but it might just be a very very hard to get off piece of dust I used to have them on my old phone I'll take the protector off and try to get the "dust" off then tell you how it went
 
Okay so I figured out that it was crazy psycho dust that would not get off my phone lol I feel stupid I used tape to peel the screen protector and lightly scratched them away and now I'm speck free I'm so happy and thank you for trying to help :)
