How to Apply a Screen Protector Without Bubbles: Step-by-Step Guide for Any Phone

✅ Step 1: Clean Your Hands and Work Area

Start with clean, dry hands. Choose a dust-free environment—like a steamy bathroom post-shower—to prevent particles from settling on your screen.

✅ Step 2: Prepare the Phone Screen

Use the included alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the screen and remove any oils or fingerprints. Follow up with a microfiber cloth to dry and polish the surface. Finally, use a dust removal sticker to pick up any last particles.

Pro tip: Even the tiniest speck of dust can create a bubble. Take your time.

✅ Step 3: Align Before Peeling

Before removing the adhesive backing, place the protector over your screen to understand the correct alignment—especially around cut-outs for cameras and sensors.

Peel back just one edge (top or bottom) of the backing, align carefully, and slowly lay it down while pressing out air as you go.

✅ Step 4: Apply with Care

Use a credit card wrapped in the microfiber cloth or the included squeegee to push out bubbles. Start from the centre and move outward with firm, even pressure.

✅ Step 5: Fix Any Dust Bubbles

Still see a bubble with a speck inside? Carefully lift that section using a fingernail or sticky tape, remove the dust with a second piece of tape, and reapply.

⏳ Step 6: Wait It Out

Some micro bubbles may disappear within 24–48 hours. Be patient—your screen may look clearer the next day.
