Your screen protector set should contain the following:
Screen protector sheets
Plastic applicator card
This is the best way I’ve found to apply a screen protector:
1. Start peeling the backing off of one of the screen protector sheets, as shown in Figure 5-4.
Start from the narrow end so you can work along the screen. You only need to peel off
5–10 mm of the backing at this time.
FIGURE 5-4: Start by peeling back the sheet a small amount — don’t whip the whole of the
backing off at once.
2. Stick the screen protector to the top of the screen as shown in Figure 5-5. Make sure the
protector is applied well and that there are no bubbles in the film that will obscure the
display.
3. Slowly work your way down the screen at a rate of about 10 mm at a time. Peel the backing
a bit and use the plastic card to scrape the film onto the screen surface, as shown in
Figure 5-6. This method is the one that give you the best results.
