Great tip about the electrical tape. Hopefully I never need to replace this protector to use your tip, but it would have been helpful during my install.I installed the Abstract Ocean Matte Tempered Glass screen on my new Model 3 today. I found that the three pieces of tape supplied with the screen for temporarily aligning the top edge would not stick to the screen protector. As soon as I flipped the screen up to get the final dust off with the supplied "stickers", the tape gave way. Next I tried blue painters tape - same issue.
Then I tried using 4" long pieces of black electrical tape - success! To insure it would hold while flipping up for the final dusting, I used a total of five pieces along the top edge. The rest of the installation went smooth.
I was a little concerned that the matte (according to some reviews) would lower the "resolution" of the display as it supposedly adds a little fuzziness. I found it very acceptable after using it for a day. The matte gives it a very "clean" look as compared to a HD super-sharp, yet highly reflective surface. I suppose the slight change in sharpness would be noticeable on a flat screen TV, but we're not watching movies here. My eyes are not as good as they once were, and if I experienced any difficulty reading the screen then I would have removed the protector.
I highly recommend.
I also have the HD tempered glass protector from AO, and thought I was the only knucklehead to have trouble with the supplied tape! Only my tape failed right after I had removed the backing from the screen protector (exposing the sticky side) and was about to lower it into place — causing the whole protector to fall face down! Thought for sure I had ruined it, or that the sticky surface would be covered in dust and fingerprints from my frantic effort to catch it mid-air, but miraculously, it was fine. Managed to reposition it without any tape, stick it down, and then marveled over how there was no visible dust or fingerprints on the underside, or damage at all.
In spite of my fumble, it turned out perfectly, and I love how you can’t even tell it’s there. Haven’t noticed any interference with my Oakley or Maui Jim polarized sunglasses.
Would still recommend using the supplied yellow tape, because it has no stretch and allows precise positioning, but make sure it’s tracked down super well, to both the back of the screen and the screen protector, and a couple of extra strips of electrical tape would be great for insurance, too.
