How to Install a Tempered Glass Screen Protector on your Phone

This video will show you how to install a tempered glass screen protector on your smart phone (Iphone or android).

[@eattapringle911]

I change screen protectors a lot, and I find this video every time! Yes, I know how to by now, but there's just something about working alongside someone who knows what they're doing... 😂

[@sunnyscott4876]

Thank you so much. I am a 73 year old lady and I just got a brand new smart phone. Your suggestions are excellent, especially using Scotch tape as a hinge. I didn't get me screen protector on perfectly (a few small bubbles) but I can live with those. You can only see them if the screen is completely black. Thank you again for ou very kind and helpful suggestions.🧡💛💚

This is hands down the best video I've seen so far on how to install a screen protector. No other video mentioned using tape or stickers as hinges. They kept going on about steam or some other convoluted method. Thank you!

After taking my phone to a shop for years when it was time to refresh the glass, I decided last night to remove the tempered glass on my own and install a new one. I watched several videos, but I was still hesitant to give it a go. Until you saw your video suggesting to hinge the screen on one side with tape. I am so pleased with the result. It's absolute perfection, far better than the shop installation that was always acceptable but had a little bubble here and there. Thank you so much!

@@mastersofimpact5740 You know, after thinking a bit. I never attempted to do this before seeing this video. And if I had an expensive phone and the cover was also somewhat pricey, I would have probably taken it in too. I wouldn't feel right charging 30 charging bucks for this. Who ever charged you that here needs to step in fresh cat poo. 10 bucks you is like 12 bucks me so thats way more in the ball park of paying for a service like thart

I was recently quoted $40 dollars at a phone repair shop so i bought a twin pack online, the same as the one demonstrated in this video and it was under $10 & all i had to do was learn the how to...so thankyou for your valuable video, very much appreciated 🙏

I did it, I put my glass protector on my phone. Went great and that is because of your great directions. Thank you!!!

Installing a screen protector used to feel like brain surgery before I watched this video. Your instructions were perfect. There was a scary moment though when I noticed in the corner of my eye my cat was staring at me the whole time waiting to pounce on the screen and get her fur in there just before I pressed the screen protector. But, she behaved.

[@kenwayne8483]

Now, You Did a Very Nice Thorough Clear and Slow Process showing how to accomplish replacing a screen protector. Thank You Very Much. Excellent Video Instructor!

[@christwist8397]

Very helpful video. Some suggestions: - As you lower the protector, push 3 spread fingers from your spare hand against its hinged edge. This prevents the edge of the protector from raising slightly and shifting. With this technique, there is no need to use a stickier tape. The provided sticky tabs work well if you do this. - When making minor adjustments, the provided sticky tabs are easier to adjust than very sticky tape. - Before removing the protective film, practise the folding technique repeatedly, until you are certain that you are doing it correctly.

[@sskzzx]

this was my first time installing a glass protector, i usually have it done by the people who work at the place i get it from and this video was endlessly helpful, i managed to flawlessly do it to mine and my mom's phones!! thank you so much, this is the best tutorial ever

[@SANA-bw2nx]

Very helpful to encourage people to do it by themselves. I had change mine at the mobile store the price with 5 times more expensive than the real price of the glass screen. Thank you for the clear demonstration without wasting time.

[@saracosta1989]

First, thank you SO MUCH for not trying to be "cutesy" or long-winded with the intro...no one likes that, and you got straight to the point. Second, you are extremely well-spoken, concise and meaningful; what you said and pointed out made absolute sense and was very easy to follow. Whatever you do or your career aspirations are, you make a great speaker, trainer and presenter. Well done here. One slight hack: rather than making multiple "hinges" with the tape, apply it LENGTH-wise (not width wise in several places) and you'll get a much better/solid "hinge" as well as a better gauge on whether or not you've aligned it well (the tape will becomes your guide).

[@mi2maui]

How about using 1.88" FROG TAPE for the hinge? One piece length-wise? I just bought a roll for other reasons, is it sticky enough? I think so ...

[@anna-cp7fr]

I was always afraid of using the stickers/tape tip but it worked SO well and I put on my screen protector completely well aligned and with no bubbles/dust left. Thank you!

[@asktarotkim2326]

I watched the video link that came with my screen protector, but they talked too quickly plus some extra implements for application were used that I didn't get in my package so it was confusing as well. You present a very friendly helpful video very suited to the middle aged+ crowd. Thank you.

[@wayneborland6974]

This actually was the first time ever I tried to install a Screen Protector. I went from the video to our two phones following directions to a tee. I did good and actually surprised my wife. Today was a good D A Y. Just follow the instructions and you shall succeed. Have fun and good luck.

[@gamer2101]

[@ophelion3641]

Thanks for your walkthrough, dear sir. Installing glass is always terrifying (what if a speck of dust remains under the glass forever, what if it is 1 mm off, what if, ...), so your video made it much easier for me.

[@ronch550]

It's much easier to install glass than plastic screen protectors. Much easier to avoid bubbles.

[@wanderingandroid]

that speck of dust will annoy you especially if it is somewhere in the middle. the glass i just installed had a speck of dust but thankfully it is somewhere along the edge. so i can live with it.

[@wakeup7157]

I have just put mine on by following the process. In a few seconds it sticks automatically perfectly without any bubble. One more tip - I folded a bit of the edge of the tape so that it's easier to remove from the protector.

[@RadimSafran]

Wow, I just used your technique and I'm amazed at how well it works... 👌☺

[@dgriffin6074]

Perhaps masking tape e.g. the blue 3 M painters' tape would work better for the "hinges"? I know some of the screen protector companies supply a model specific plastic frame to ensure proper alignment of the SP and phone screen. I just used one with on my Galaxy S8, and it was the least troublesome installation I've had and no bubbles whatsoever.

[@mae4825]

A super helpful video! Instead of tape for the hinge, I used a 1" x 3" Avery Multi-Use label. Since it's more rigid than tape I had no worries about anything shifting when I opened the hinge. I was able to fully open it to remove the backing and everything was still perfectly aligned when I closed it to install. Since the labels are removable they came off easily when I was finished with no residue. I also used a piece of one to make a little "handle" on the opposite side so I didn't have to touch the glass to move it.

Thanks for this tip Mae. Question: how many of those 1"x 3" Avery Multi-Use Labels did you use, and did you create the hinge by placing the 3" side of the label(s) horizontally or vertically? (My phone is a Moto G Pure with a 6.5" screen.)

[@mae4825]

@@craigcraigster4999 I placed one label vertically, centered on one of the long (side) edges of the screen. You could use an additional label, or piece of one if you feel one label isn't secure enough. Hope this helps!

[@PeterWTaylor]

Very useful thanks. I used a spectacle wipe on the screen to make sure it was really clean and static free and proceeded as you described. It went on completely bubble free after couple of minor relifts at corners. There was still a trace bubble line round the edges but working my finger round the edges removed it. One hint to newbies, check which edge your tab is on. Mine was on the opposite side to this product so I had an 'Uhh! moment and had to put the hinge on the other side.

I had to throw away my protector because i kept having to remove it to realign again after putting the case on. The protector lost its stickiness and bubbles formed. Make sure to follow this video AFTER putting the case on and the display is turned on. For edge to edge protectors though im unsure.

[@newtabable]

do you recommend eating a jelly donut and pancakes with lots of syrup while applying the screen protector. Because that was what i did. the molasses syrup spilled off the plate and i tried whiping it off the phone with soft toilet paper but the toilet paper ripped as i rubbed off the syrup. but i was really hungry so i was eating the jelly donut as i was cleaning the syrup off the phone but the jelly dripped onto the screen too and got on the sticky part of the screen proctector and left red sticky smears on the glue along with pieces of toilet paper. i dipped the screen protector in gasoline to remove the jelly and syrup but it made it smell like gas. and then it was no longer clear and didnt stick to the phone very well. so i got some super glue and dabbed alot of it on the back of the screen protector but some of my jelly donut dripped onto the supper glue leaving more red goo there. i finally stuck it to my phone and let it dry but now my screen protector has toilet paper bits, and red smears all under it and i cant remove the screen protector. i tried using a screw driver to pry it off but it cracked the screen protector and and chipped my actual screen as i kept jamming it under the edges of the screen protector with as much strength as i could. i finally removed like fifty percent of the screen protector but pieces of it are all over the screen. I am going to apply another screen protector over it, by carefully bending it around the edges. and taping it around the corners and filling in the gaps with more super glue.

[@markderlo212]

@5:30 when you have problems with pealing the plastic: use the same trick as with your hinges to create handles to hold the protector instead of trying to do that by holding the edges; so your right hand will hold the sticky tape (which has been attached to the top part of the protector) and you will use your left hand to peal the plastic off from the bottom part of the protector; this way you will guarantee that you will not touch the protector’s bottom surface
