OMG I wish I would have read this post before applying my Boxwave protector. I gave it multiple aggravating tries before discovering the scotch tape trick on my own. The scotch tape trick works well but there's a still a chance of debris getting under while you're picking away the stuff you were looking at, and by the time you set the protector back down there might be more crap underneath than when you started!

One method I used was to do the job as quickly as possible while lifting the protector off the screen as little as possible, which meant going under the protector with the scotch tape with the stick side still facing down. And if you haven't heard this before, to lift the protector up, just take a piece of scotch tape and tape it to the corner of the protector and lift up.

As for the Boxwave protectors themselves, they seem to be working pretty well so far (I've only used it for about 10 minutes). The screen actually looks brighter and I have not lost any touch sensitivity. The only major problem I have with mine is one of the lateral edges is actually damaged (not sure if I did it with all my reapplications) but now there's a big air bubble, that won't go away, stretching across the top of my screen. I can only see if I look for it (but I KNOW it's there!) or if the screen is black or off. It doesn't really interfere with my clicking so hopefully I'll be able to live with it, but chances are it'll drive me crazy.
