true, it can be hard first time. i ruined the first unit. since then i have had pretty decent installs 3-4 times. there are tons of videos online that you can watch. you just have to ensure that your fingers are moist. and you apply enough quantity of liquid to the sticky side. if you take care, you have multiple chance to get it right. in fact, wet install means that you can also slide the skin on the phone's display as glue takes sometime to activate. but yeah, it is a bit complicated and having a botched installation means wasted investment.
