Cracked, peeling screen protectors make your phone look messy and reduce touchscreen responsiveness. Learn how to lift old tempered glass, remove dust specks, and align a new screen protector without annoying air bubbles.
Removing Old Shattered Tempered Glass Safely
Use your fingernail or the corner of a thin plastic card to lift one corner of the old glass protector slowly. Lift gradually across the diagonal so the glass does not splinter.
Creating a Dust Free Steamy Room Environment
Apply screen protectors in a bathroom right after running a warm shower. The steam settles airborne dust particles to the floor, giving you a clean, speck free installation.
Wiping the Screen with Alcohol and Dust Stickers
Clean the phone screen with an isopropyl alcohol wipe, dry with microfiber, and dab the entire glass surface with dust removal tape stickers.
The Center Line Drop Technique
Align the top speaker cutout and bottom edges precisely. Lower the glass onto the phone screen and press your finger down the center line. Watch as the silicone adhesive layer spreads outward automatically.
Pushing Out Edge Bubbles
Wrap a microfiber cloth around a credit card and push any remaining corner bubbles out to the nearest edge.
