If you’ve ever wondered how to get your screen protector on properly with none of those annoying bubbles or dust particles, then read on – this is the way to do it right! We’ve done a video explaining the process, but if you’re limited on bandwidth we’ve transcribed it below, too. It should be useful not only for the Galaxy Nexus, but also an iPhone screen protector<\/a> and screen protectors<\/a> for many other phones and tablets too.<\/p>\n

Hey, this is Will from Mobile Fun and I\u2019m here to show you how to put on a screen protector properly, with none of those annoying bubbles!<\/p>\n

So the first thing you want to do is minimise the amount of dust in the room. A lot of the time this just means choosing a room in your house that is the most clean and don\u2019t suffer from drafts. You can also try other methods – for example, you can run a hot shower before you put on your screen protector, letting the steam in the air clean up a lot of the dust.<\/p>\n

The next thing to do is make sure your hands are clean, so wash them with soap and water.<\/p>\n

Finally, you\u2019ll want to ensure your phone\u2019s screen is clean and dust-free. Take a fresh cleaning cloth and clean the entire display, ensuring that any dust is entirely removed. You\u2019ll also want to make sure there are no fingerprint smudges or grease, as these will be locked beneath the screen protector layer.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve done that, it\u2019s time to gather your materials and get started. You\u2019ll need your phone or other device, your screen protector, and an applicator card – if your screen protector didn\u2019t come with one, then a credit card is an excellent substitute.<\/p>\n

First, take your screen protector and lie it on the display, without exposing the sticky side – you\u2019re just lining it up to ensure that you know what the ideal position is.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019ve got it in your mind, you\u2019re going to place the screen protector perpendicular to the bottom of the display. The sticky side you be facing away from you and the rigid side will be facing toward you.<\/p>\n

Now, you\u2019re going to start exposing the sticky part of the screen protector, by slowly pulling the rigid side forward and away from you. As the sticky section is exposed, you\u2019ll need to use your other hand to push the screen protector flat onto the phone\u2019s display. The idea is that you\u2019ll roll it along slowly, so each part of the sticky side of the screen protector is only exposed to dust for a short space of time before it\u2019s applied to the phone\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve reached the end of the display, the screen protector should be on correctly. If there are a few bubbles, don\u2019t panic – use your applicator card or credit card to push these forward until they are removed.<\/p>\n

If something goes wrong – you\u2019ve got too many bubbles, a bad piece of dust or the protector is on wonky, then you\u2019ll need to try again. Stop what you\u2019re doing, and slowly reverse the process, taking care not to stretch the material. Screen protectors often come in packs of two or three, so don\u2019t be afraid to start from scratch if you\u2019re confident about the procedure.<\/p>\n

Once there are no bubbles, you\u2019re done! Don\u2019t worry too much if there are a few tiny bubbles – if you leave the phone overnight, these will disappear and you\u2019ll be left with a perfectly applied screen protector.<\/p>\n

Good work, and enjoy your newly protected phone!<\/p>\n
