    Just to let anyone here know if your were thinking about purchasing a radtech clearcal for the ipad to think about getting a zagg or something else similar instead. I tried putting a clearcal protector on my ipad two days ago, I watched the video and followed the results to the letter. The first try my ipad screen looked horrible, I couldn't get all of the bubbles out and it the picture looked foggy. So I washed it off with warm water and prepared to try again, the problem with doing this is how is the sticky side supposed to dry? If you leave it on the counter sticky side up then dust will stick to it as it dries and if you try to put it on somewhat wet it leaves watermarks underneath the protector even after it dries. After almost 2 hours of being completely aggravated I gave up and threw it out because it wouldn't stick well anymore. I contacted radtech and told them about my experience and asked for a refund and they would do nothing to help me. I ended up installing the brand I've been using on my ipod touch and ipod 5g, the zagg invisible shield. The zagg is much easier to install and looks much better when applied. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this product and buy yourself a zagg, at least zagg has a lifetime replacement warranty as well as a 45 day money back guarantee. If you put it on and don't like it for any reason you just send it back and get a full refund. I've also had good luck with bodyguardz and phantom skinz.

    I think I figured out the error. You washed the screen protector? How can you expect it to stick after washing it with water??

    Sounds like a shill IMO.

    Well it says in the direction and their website that if it does not come out correctly then you should rinse it with warm water and let it dry and then reapply. You obviously don't understand how screen protectors work, because just about every type of screen protector is applied with a water based solution and then it is squeegeed out. Just because an adhesive gets wet that doesn't mean that it won't stick when it dries out. So maybe you should think before you make a dumb comment like that. I'm simply telling anyone that has an iPad and is looking for a screen protector they may want to look elsewhere because I've had much better luck with other brands.

    To the other person that said I'm a shill, why don't you look at my post history, I've been on this forum for almost a year and have many posts related to gaming so maybe you as well should use your head before you type. I was simply leaving my review of this product to try to save someone else the trouble.
