These days, most smartphones feature great quality screens. Mobile phones are excellent entertainment devices however, even a single scratch on display can ruin the experience. You may hear many smartphones sporting scratch and shatter proof screens however, even they are prone to some damage.

That’s where a tempered glass helps. The glass fits like a non-existing layer on top of your phone’s display providing an additional layer of protection. It is more durable than plastic screen protectors, less prone to scratches and also keep fingerprints away.

Most importantly, a tempered glass can save your mobile’s screen from shattering if you drop it accidently. It’s a cost-effective way to protect your phone’s screen. Installing a tampered glass is quite easy and here is how you can do it even at your home.

Step 1 – Choosing the right surrounding

Before you begin the installation process, keep the phone on a flat and clean surface. This is to ensure that you get a good grip while applying the glass and keep dirt away. It is also advisable not to perform the installation near windows or under ceiling fans to avoid tiny dust particles settling between the screen and the tempered glass.

Step 2 – Removing the old glass

After placing your phone on a flat surface, it’s time to clean your phone’s screen. If you already have an old screen protector or a tempered glass on your phone, you can use any object as fine as a toothpick to slowly release the old screen guard. Once you push the pointed end of the toothpick towards any edge of your old tempered glass, it should come off without breaking into pieces.

To clean the screen, use the rubbing compound and microfiber cloth bundled in the box. Gently rub the screen with a microfiber cloth and look closely for any dust particles. Most tempered glass bundle dust-absorber stickers which can be used to remove minute dust particles.

Step 3 – Applying the screen protector

After having a clean and clear display, align the tempered glass on top of your phone. You can take the earpiece of your device as a reference point to align the glass properly. Once you have the top section aligned, remove the plastic film at the back of the tempered glass and guide it, so it can stick to the display.

Step 4 – Looking for bubbles or dust particles

In some cases, you may notice some bubbles between your screen and the tampered glass. To remove these bubbles, press the bubble spot on the glass towards the edges of the screen using a microfiber cloth. You can also use a hard or flat object such as a credit card to do this process. You may have to repeat this process until to get a bubble-free screen. We advise you to turn off your device so you can see these bubbles clearly.
