After reading so many installation horror stories, I recruited my husband to help me. Here were our steps to a very smooth install:
1) Clean the iPad glass with an ammonia& alcohol-free screen cleaner and a micofiber cloth. I use this on all my electronics and touch screen devices. This is good for getting rid of finger prints and smudges.
2) "dust" the screen with the included lens cleaning cloth. The cloth that comes with the screen covers is similar to what Apple used to include with the iPod touch years ago.
3) peel off about a quarter or a third of the first cover of the screen, line up the screen with the home button, and then slowly lay it down as you peel away the cover. Try to smooth out the really big bubbles as you go.
4) Before you peel off the second cover, use the little card to smooth all the bubbles out. If you have dust, peel back the screen and use the sticker to grab them. I found that the dust usually stuck to the screen cover. This is also when it's useful to have a helper. My husband held the screen protector while I stickered the dust.
5) Peel off the second cover slowly. This will create some more bubbles b/c the adhesive pulls the screen protector away from the ipad a bit. To get these bubbles out, wrap the lens cloth around the little card and then smooth out the bubbles. If you use the card without the cloth, you'll likely scratch the cover.
6) I had to clean the screen again with the screen cleaner b/c i had such crazy finger smudges from smoothing out bubbles.
We were able to install in one go in probably about five minutes all told. We have a dog, so we did it at the kitchen table where there would be less dog hair and a lot of light to see.
We are quite happy with the result! I only give this a 4 star rating b/c I haven't had a chance to see how well the screen protector holds up over time. But so far, so great.
Buy myGear Products Anti-Microbial Screen Protector Film for iPad Mini - (3 Pack) Anti-Microbial Now
After reading reviews on this product I was hesitant to purchase it, however the price convinced me to give it a try. First of all, I am horrible at applying screen protectors. I always end up with bubbles. In about 5 minutes I had this on my iPad bubble free on The first try. they're great!!!!! I can't even tell there is a screen protector on. I would highly recommend this product.On the ipad covers I got at apple they came in one cheap pack and were all stuck together. This actually came in a pack so nicely (a three pack) that you take it out of the outer packaging (which you keep until you need the other two), then you take it out of the bag BUT be sure you do the next step!My apple screen protectors were all just together and then you stuck them on the surface. With this one, they protected every single protector individually with its own backing and inner liner. At first I held this up to my ipad and thought "Woa...that's gonna cloudy up the screen!" Then I saw a little tab that gave directions to peel off the backing and then place it on your ipad.
TaDa!! No cloudiness whatsoever. The screen protector is crystal clear and stuck on the ipad perfectly. It also is thicker than some while keeping its transparency for even better protection of the ipad if I want to use a cloth with windex for cleaning, for example, or if something sharp rubs against the screen.
In all honesty, this is the best screen protector I've gotten. Full clarity and full protection.
Better than the ones at the apple store in my opinion for half the price.Since the iPad screen is covered with fingerprints after just a few minutes of use, I figured this Anti-Fingerprint screen protector would be a great solution. Installation wasn't too hard, and the lack of fingerprints was definitely noticeable right away. BUT I purchased the iPad 3 for it's stunning retina display, which was no longer stunning with this screen protector on it. It was actually a little dull and blurry. I ended up removing it.

When I installed this screen protector on the new iPad Mini, I had the benefit of a prior experience installing a similar screen protector (different manufacturer) on an iPhone. Otherwise I probably would have found the very brief instructions included with the product insufficient to get it right the first time. Fortunately, you get three screen protectors for this very reasonable price, so you can afford to mess one up as a learning experience, put a second one on correctly, and still have the third in reserve when you need a replacement.WHAT'S INCLUDED
Three screen protectors, each in its own cellophane sleeve
A microfiber cloth, for cleaning the iPad Mini screen before applying the screen protector (nice touch)
A small plastic square squeegee for getting air bubbles out after you have applied the screen protector
A small square of clear adhesive tape for cleaning off any dust particles, hairs etc. that might pollute the screen or screen protector during the application process.
A single sheet of paper about the size of a playing card, printed front and back with the sum total of the cryptic instructions.
THE *MISSING* INSTRUCTIONS
If this is your first time applying a screen protector, here are some things to know:
Each screen protector has its own two protective covering sheets, front and back, and each protective sheet has a small green pull-tab at one corner, helpfully marked "1" and "2."
After thoroughly cleaning the iPad Mini screen with the microfiber cloth, and working in a clean environment as recommended, gently pull back Tab 1 in order to expose a couple of inches of the contact side of the screen protector, taking care not to touch the screen protector itself.
Line up the exposed portion of the screen protector with the cutout for the home button and the edges of the device, and lay it down to contact the iPad Mini screen, using the rolled back curl of the rest of the protective cover to keep the remaining unexposed portion of the contact side of the screen protector out of contact with the iPad screen.
Take a viewpoint directly above the small circular cutout for the camera lens and try to position it so it will fall into place over the camera lens, and gently pull back on tab 1 to expose the rest of the contact side, letting it glide into contact with the iPad screen. If the camera cutout is misaligned, you can lift the sheet and reposition it, then start over. It's easiest to do this before completely removing the tab 1 protective sheet. When the alignment is satisfactory, completely remove the tab 1 sheet and let the screen protector come into full contact with the screen.
BEFORE you remove the tab 2 top protective sheet, use the included squeegee or a credit card to "sweep" over any air bubbles towards the side of the screen. You may have to apply a bit of pressure on stubborn bubbles. The better job you do at this stage, the fewer bubbles you'll have to deal with in the last step.
When all air bubbles are gone, gently pull back on tab 2, taking care not to lift the screen protector itself. Once you have it started, it is helpful to hold the tab down almost in contact with, and pull it parallel to, the surface of the screen protector, as you slowly finish removing it.
If new air bubbles appear, wrap the squeegee in the microfiber cloth (to avoid scratching the screen protector) and repeat sweeping them away.
CONCLUSION
This is a fine product at a great price. If the instructions had been more informative (or better yet, if there had been online video instructions) I would have given it five stars.
