    I install a Skinomi (like invisible shield) the back is looking great but I had to reapply the front many times and there are huge water bubbles on it. Like half and inch in side full of the soapy solution. What should I do, could the water damage the screen somehow?

    Haha screen protectors suck. I go without. I always thought, the reason you put one on us to stop imperfections on the screen, but then it's covered in bubbles, lol ;)

    You can't take it off without stretching it.

    well, then you should get a new protector and put it on with a credit card like i said but i think youll be fine without a screen protector. if youre worried about dropping and cracking the screen then you could get a case that rises above the screen level a bit so if you drop it on a flat surface the screen never touches the ground.

    Work from the middle to the edge. Use a credit card or the included thing. I guess your only option is to buy and re-apply a new one if you want to eliminate the bubbles.

    You guys don't think it will just dry out?

    If you can, try to reapply the screen protector from middle to the edges. Does overdo the soapy water (ex. overloading the water with detergent liquid, etc.) and USE the squeegee. Also it takes about 2 days for the water to evaporate so be patient. When I applied mine, I got impatient and used a hairdryer on low settings and held it at a good distance AWAY from my iPod Touch and it helped with the drying process, but I would advise waiting.

    Use something thin but not too sharp maybe a school ruler with a steel edge or something along those lines to get them bubbles out.
