Wrapsol Dry Ultra Screen Protector for iPad (front and back kit)
• $39.95

Clear iPad protective films are a dime a dozen, and I've applied quite a few films on a variety of devices with good and bad results. If I remember correctly, every one of them required a careful amount of patience using a spray bottle and squeegee to get a perfect fit. Wrapsol's dry application front film subtracts the spray bottle+water method for an easier align and apply process (the polyurethane feels thicker than any other, but retains the same clarity comparatively). And if you hate air bubbles like I do, you'll like the Wrapsol's air bubbles release feature; it took about 36 hours rather than the 24 hours listed, but eventually even a few larger bubbles disappeared. Now I don't have to worry about our cats scratching the screen!

with a dry application you have to worry about dust like crazy. i applied a dry protector in a small bathroom after running the shower on hot for a bit and stil had just problems. in the end i did a flawless job, but it took some work.
I had the opposite experience. I've always gotten dust stuck during the wet process, probably during the hold up and spray step. While with the dry mount, I could just lay down the protective film directly onto the screen without gathering any additional dust floating in the air. I'll be doing another wet application for another device today or tomorrow, so I'll be able to compare and contrast again...
