s and uninstalls. I have broken many screen protectors. There's like a bucket of not a bucket. There is a broken glass drawer in my office for all the screen protectors I broke, so the process I used and will show you worked great for me, so let's get started.

I'm going to add a couple things that most screen protector installation instructions don't tell you to make the process easy. I'll also show you how to get rid of the dust. If you were unlucky enough that dust got under the screen protector. your device as well as taking it off and putting it away, and there's a chance you might want to use a waterproof case with your device, but most of them don't accept screen protector, so you need to take it off now. The first thing you need to do is To set up your space, the most important thing is that it doesn't have to be terribly clean, as you can see this is where I set up all my ice scream guards on my messy desk, but it needs to be well lit because I try install something transparent. on a touch screen in a dark room is going to be very painful.

The second thing you should do is take the iPhone out of the case, if you have one, there aren't many situations where you would install a screen protector on a case and the only time I would do that would be for an Edge Full EDG to Edge screen protector. . The third thing you need is to wash your hands. Most instructions don't tell you this, but keeping your hands grease-free and dry will help with installation. Fourth, follow the instructions. I know this is silly, but follow the instructions. Manufacturers usually give you small packets of isopropyl alcohol or whatever to clean the screen.

Go and do everything they say. I will keep in mind that screen protectors are generally a little more expensive. includes tools so you can install it more easily, the cheapest, do not follow the next step number five. This is something that I injected into the whole process and that is that a lot of times I get these screen protectors and they come. with these little microfiber cloths and they say to wipe it with the microfiber cloth, but a lot of times they are so cheap that the edges of the microfiber cloth come off, so you have all these little fibers on it.

Before putting on the screen protector, I usually cover it with packing tape, masking or not, and make sure the entire iPhone or device is free of dust. It works too, packing tape does a good job too. You also need to remove grease from your fingers, so basically scrub the entire iPhone to make sure your entire device is free of dust. The sixth step is to place the iPhone in a horizontal position. I think it's easiest to do when it's quite long in front of your face and you want to look straight down, the next step is to get the screen protector as close to the screen as you can by holding it by the corners of the screen protector.

I don't normally hold it in the middle. I usually hold the corners. So step number eight is to align the entire screen protector. Now you want to get the screen protector as close to the device as you can. I usually line it up around the Touch ID or fingerprint sensor and then line up the cutouts on top after everything looks aligned, I'll leave one end on the iPhone making sure it's still aligned and then drop the other end in for protectors plastic against screams. I tend to put a small container in before lining everything up. It's not necessary but this is how I did it if everything lines up and is placed on the screen press the center of the screen protector and try to get the bubbles out if so if the manufacturer includes a squeegee then Remove everything with a squeegee, this is how I installed all the screen protectors I reviewed or am using right now.

It's a very simple process, but washing your hands with the microfiber cloth and masking tape are things that most companies don't ask you to do, but I do highly recommend that you do because it makes the installation process a breeze. little easier now if you suffer from some dust, as you can see in this installation I have. this piece of dust that I thought I got, you can easily remove the screen protector, but you have to do it very carefully, if the company does not provide you with dust removal tape, you can use some masking tape or painter's tape to clean it that piece of lint and then reinstall it now.

If all else fails, there's a good chance your screen protector is screwed. You can try washing it now. Putting a little water will probably ruin the screen protector, but some of them, the adhesive doesn't come off, so by putting a little water on the screen protector, you can remove the lint. I've done it a couple of times and it usually works, but keep in mind that you may have to get rid of it. get a new screen protector, if that happens I'll add one thing: the cheap screen protectors that come with cheap cases don't tend to fit the iPhone very well and they don't come with installation tools, so you know it's a Kind of launch, some of the more expensive ones, like this Box Wave, include an installation tool that makes it much easier to install the screen protector, so you have to do it.

It's a launch. You have a cheaper screen protector. Yes, it's tempered glass, but spend 10 dollars more and you'll get one you can easily install now. The last thing I'll talk about is that if you're planning on getting a waterproof case, removing the screen protector is pretty iffy, there's a good chance you'll do it. It ruins the screen protector, especially if it is glass, they tend to crack if there is a scratch on the screen protector and you remove it, you are very likely to ruin that screen protector, per my recommendation, if you are thinking of buying one.

Waterproof case. I would buy a plastic one, one of the self-healing fusion ones, or hey visor from Moshi. You can wash those plastic screen protectors. I think so, the fusion one is self-healing, which is cool now that you do it. Take it off, you have to be careful with the corner, you don't want to bend it back too much, or you will break the glass or permanently warp the plastic screen protector. I've done it several times after you. I have removed the screen protector. Put it back in the original packaging if you have it. If not, find a piece of rigid plastic and make sure it is clean.

Put the screen protector there. The most important thing is to make sure the screen protector. It's bubble-free because I found that the adhesive doesn't recover as well if you let the bubbles sit under the screen protector for a while, so that's all I have in terms of installing a screen protector
