Installation
GadgetShieldz Application Instructions
Please take time to read ALL the instructions once or twice beforehand. Set aside 30-45 minutes for the installation. Identify a warm, well lit and dust-free location for installation. Shown below is an installation of the back portion of GadgetShieldz for the LG BL40 but the same instructions apply to all the sides or devices.
Application Solution : Make a soap solution by mixing thoroughly 2-3 drops of mild liquid soap (baby shampoo recommended) and around 300 ml (10 Oz) of water. Avoid using any detergents or washing powder/soaps. Add just enough soap (don't overdo it) so that the skin can slide quite freely on the device for alignment.

1 Switch Off your device and remove the batteries if they are removable. Wash your hands and clean the device's surface thoroughly of all the dirt and facial oils with a lint-free cloth. |
2 Identify where each portion of the shield goes on the device. Wet all your fingers with the soap solution and starting from a corner, slowly remove one of the shields. Tip: Keep your fingers wet whenever handling the shield to avoid fingerprints. |

3 Dip the removed piece into the soap solution completely and remove all the excess solution by sliding your fingers along the shield. Fingerprints on the sticky side, if any, can be washed out during this step. Make sure every part of the sticky side is wet so that the shield doesn't fold up or stick to itself. Do not let the shield stick to dust or anything that is not wet. |
4 With the sticky side facing down, place the shield on the device as closely aligned as possible by equally spacing out any cut-outs in the shield around the ports (holes) on the device. Glide it into the correct position with minor adjustments using your fingers if required. |

5 If you are unsatisfied with the alignment of a particular piece, now is the time to remove it slowly and start back from step 3. Removing the film after the sticky side has dried may stretch or deform it. Once satisfied with the alignment, use your fingers first and then a credit card or anything similar to remove the excess solution under the film away from the center and towards the edges of the film. |
6 Absorb the excess solution using the lint-free cloth whenever required. If the shield is moving from its perfectly aligned position, slide it back into place and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then gently start squeezing again. After squeezing out the excess solution, start pressing down all the side flaps with enough pressure so that they stick down on the device. |

7 Once all the portions are installed, keep your device SWITCHED OFF for a period of 12-24 hrs to let the film set and all the left over moisture to dry out. |
8 After a period of 12-24 hrs, the shield will dry out and you can start using your device. |

Immediately after the installation, the device might look just a little hazy but don't fret and panic over the wet appearance of the shield. The appearance will improve remarkably over the 12-24 Hrs period with the moisture drying out and bubbles if any working themselves out in 2-3 days.
GadgetShieldz Removal Instructions
In case you wish to remove the skins from your device at any time, peel the skin very slowly starting from a corner and away from itself (parallel to the surface at an angle of 45 degrees or less). It is recommended to remove the skin in small steps.
