How to Get Air Bubbles Out of a Protective Shield for an iPod
No matter how carefully you apply a screen protector to your iPod, air bubbles seem to make their way between the plastic cover and the screen. The best way to remove air bubbles is to work them toward the edge of the screen protector. Once the air bubbles reach the edge, they disappear. Some air bubbles form because something gets trapped between the protective shield and the screen. These air bubbles don't move, so you need to peel the protective shield back and remove the obstruction.

Tips
- If the air bubble will not move, it means there is a piece of dust or lint between the screen and the screen protector. Carefully peel the protector back and use a piece of adhesive tape to remove it. The debris will adhere to the tape.
