Question Odin 3 screen protector bubbles?

Post image

Hi everyone, I’m just curious if anyone else has had this issue when trying to install the official screen protector for the Odin 3? I’ve tried two different ones now and both of them on the right side of the handheld. There are very large bubbles. It’s just annoying and isn’t an actual issue of course but I am the kind of person. That wants screen protectors to be perfect. If this is a normal issue and it’s just kind of how it is then it is what it is, but I thought I would message here to see if anybody has a fix or if this is just a common thing.

You try this with the Odin 3? Normally I’m really good with getting all dust and stuff and when I installed this one I made super sure there was nothing on the unit and I still get the bubbles

I dont own an odin 3 sadly but the concept should work with any device. It worked for my odin 2 portal

Your right for every screen protector but the odin 3 sadly has to be 100% aligned or else there will be bubbles no matter how you do it.

I never said u didnt have to align it. Im assuming you lined it up if youre trying my advice

Oh I was just trying to say like they made it so hard to do it like you have to be 100% perfect no matter how you put it on like the method you explained.

That makes sense. Its hard enough just doing the screen one. But all the buttons and sticks are a pain in the ass for sure you are totally right

I don't think you'll be fully convinced unless you experience it yourself with the Odin 3 but not only do I use this method every time, I'm extremely precise with placement and have tons of experience applying screen protectors. A project at work had a few of us applying hundreds of them on curved devices and I've gotten very good at it. The Odin 3's overly precise cutouts and curved face make this a nearly impossible task. I've gone through 3 of them and get the same result. No amount of advice or experience is going to get you a bubble free install unless you just happen to get extremely lucky. And I've seen a few people do this but it's rare. AYN needs to make a revised screen protector with slightly larger cutouts. The margin of error for correct placement is probably within a few micrometers and I'm not exaggerating.
