That's quite a story. Why not go with a screen protector that doesn't require a wet application. I have this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0134SKUJU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00 It does leave a little of the edge of screen exposed but with the screen being a little curved on the edges, it would not stick properly if it went to the edge. If you lived in the SF Bay Area, I can even offer to give you one of my spares.
