I ordered 2 of these just in case, but at first I thought there was a BIG problem! The tab for pulling off the 1st protective layer removes easily, but once you have the cover in place, the tab for holding onto the cover while positioning, won't come off without leaving a sticky & papery residue that won't come off...BUT, I finally realized that there is a 3rd clear layer that comes off with the second tab!! You really can't tell until you pull off the 2nd tab, thinking of throwing the whole thing away, then you realize, that there is a screen cover left in place on your phone! I wish they would tell you these things in the instructions! (But they would probably be in Japanese).It does also say it comes with a plastic squeegy to smooth out air bubbles, but the two I got didn't have one in the package, just the cover and a nice screen cleaning cloth. I Recommend, NOW that I know there are 3 clear layers to the covers! And that they DO work!
