use the tool that came with the phantom skins or a credit card and push the bubbles towards the edges and they will disappear over time.
 
no one ever agrees with me but I do put a couple of drops on the phone screen, then apply skin, then wet squeegee until the bubbles are gone. Keeping a towel handy to wipe up the droplets as they get to the edge.

It's also good to start at top or bottom and squeegee as you are applying.

I can definitely see how it would help if you're having trouble, but take the battery out if you're going to do that :).
 
That's prolly better than what I do. Put the cover back on though so the water strips don't get wet.
 
Get your phone wet.... to keep a scratch proof screen from getting scratched...

Just making sure I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Best use of quotes I've seen in a while....
 
There are so many dry apply products that I've long given up on any that require water or solution for installation. That said, I think the best applications I've ever been able to do were non-dry solutions. I just took my time and caught any moisture at the edges - it took a long time, but I've never had to replace any of these shields unless something sharp gouged them.
 
^I use the droplets on those "dry" applications as well. Granted they can, at times, work well...the water just seems to prevent those pesky air pockets every time.
