How to install a tempered glass screen on a smartphone. How to stick protective glass on a smartphone screen

When replacing the protective glass on a smartphone, few people do not worry about following the rules and perform re-gluing with improvised tools.

As a result: there are scratches on the phone, the coating does not apply evenly, becomes covered with bubbles, or simply does not adhere tightly.

Instructions: how to install protective glass on your phone

We have prepared a short instruction manual for those who want to install the glass themselves. The article contains basic information, but to complete the picture we recommend watching the video from detailed description installation stages.

Removing old glass: what is important to remember

You must understand that the glass does not stick to the screen due to a special adhesive coating. The adhesion of the film to the smooth surface of the touchscreen occurs due to statics. An attempt to remove it by prying it with a fingernail or (much worse) with a knife will result in damage to the screen and body of the phone.

Even using a special suction cup can lead to unpleasant consequences. Remember, perform all actions smoothly. By pressing hard on the Velcro, you risk damaging the cables or tearing off the screen module. A vacuum is formed between the glass and the film, which will resist the adhesion of the coatings. But even if the suction cup adheres well to the film, there is a chance of damage to the sensor when removing the protective glass. Therefore, act consistently and carefully.

What to prepare for installing protective glass:

a mediator (or a thin plastic card) - it’s better to take 2 pieces; a silicone suction cup (if you already have experience with reinstallation, you can do without Velcro); a napkin or a piece of lint-free cloth; a glass cleaner containing alcohol (pure alcohol or perfume will also work); medical gloves (silicone or rubber). Once armed with these tools, the work will take no more than two minutes.

Brief description of the process

Before you begin, make sure your hands are free of dust or lint. It is impossible to see the smallest particles on your fingers, so it is better to play it safe and wear medical gloves. They are thin and fit snugly on the hand, so they will not interfere with work.

Next, install the suction cup on the area of the phone with damaged glass, where there are fewer fragments and cracks. Carefully apply the Velcro to the corner of the screen, and then press down slightly and glue it to the glass. Take the pick and pull the suction cup towards you, only gradually increase the force, otherwise the glass will come off along with the screen.

As soon as you feel the glass peeling off, deepen the pick.

When the glass around the perimeter peels off ~80%, feel free to pull the suction cup and tear off the old screen.

Gluing new glass

Before applying new coating, remove dust and fingerprints. A lint-free cloth is suitable for this: first moisten the screen with glass cleaning compound and degrease the surface using a prepared cloth.

Take safety glass by the edges (put on gloves first). Carefully remove the adhesive protective surface on the film (keep the glass near the phone, otherwise airborne dust will stick while you transfer the film). Place the glass as close to the screen as possible (align it relative to the center, check that all parts pass through the film holes for buttons, connectors and camera). Slowly lower the protective covering onto the screen, pressing and simultaneously smoothing from the center to the corners. Use a dry, lint-free cloth or thin plastic card for this. Remove the film applied for protection during transportation.

It is not always possible to glue glass to a phone without getting dust and lint. If you see that debris has gotten under the film, peel off the glass exactly to the place where there is dirt.

You can also use a compressor, a technical vacuum cleaner or a can of compressed air to blow away dust particles.

If you don't have anything like this at hand, use tweezers.

As soon as you remove the dirt, glue the glass back.

A smartphone is an expensive thing and requires careful handling. One of the most vulnerable places is the screen. Many people repeatedly drop their phone during use and carry it in a bag where, in addition to it, there are keys and other sharp objects.

As a result, chips, scratches, cracks appear quite quickly even on a new smartphone, and even the screen may even break. But it is quite possible to extend the life of the device if you use modern technologies, for example, purchase and install protective glass.

Outwardly, it is similar to film with similar tasks; glass is transparent and flexible in appearance, but due to its more high density more reliable and durable.

Phone screen protector It costs a little more than film, but it justifies its cost, as it reduces the likelihood of the screen breaking to almost zero.

What is a protective glass for a smartphone - what functions does it perform?

Before you know how to glue protective glass to a smartphone screen, let's look at its features.

The advantages include:

resistance to damage and scratches - you can check this with keys or a knife or scissors - there will be no marks left,
shock absorption - even if the phone falls face down, it will not break, only the protective glass will be damaged, the fragments of which will not fly in different directions,
holds securely - more durable than film, easy to glue at home without special experience.

Flaws:

the phone will become bulkier and heavier,
buying and sticking glass will cost a decent amount,
Requires careful installation.

Oleophobic - provides ease of sliding of fingers across the screen, while fingerprints can be easily wiped off with a cloth, protects from moisture,
Protective - responsible for protecting the screen from scratches and cracks,
Anti-glare - prevents the screen from dimming,
Containing - if the screen does manage to break, it will hold the fragments,

VIDEO DESCRIPTION

How much does protective glass for phones cost?

Today, hundreds of companies around the world are engaged in the production of protective glass.

Most budget options, of course, are offered by Chinese companies, whose products can be easily ordered through Aliexpress.

However, the basis of any manufacturer’s products is tempered glass, only the degree of hardening differs.

The price can vary significantly depending on quality indicators, as well as the reputation of the manufacturer.

As for more simple options, for example, made in China, the average cost for them starts from 900 rubles. This is almost twice as high compared to films. Many people ask the question: is it worth overpaying?

Maybe stick with film?

The film copes with the task of protecting against scratches, but if dropped, it cannot always protect the screen from cracks. It is more difficult to glue, air bubbles often remain, and dirt quickly gets clogged inside. Glass is more convenient in this regard, it will last longer and provide more reliable protection screen. However, you really have to pay extra for these amenities.

If you don’t glue the glass yourself, you will have to additionally pay for the services of a specialist who will take on this task, and that’s another few hundred rubles. Such masters work in any service centers for phone repair, as well as in stores selling smartphones.

Thus, the cost of purchasing and installing glass on a smartphone will be at least 1,500 rubles, but this is really profitable, because replacing a broken screen will cost an average of 3,000 rubles, especially when it comes to Apple products.

- Disadvantages: The prices for the services provided are overpriced, the employees do not know how to provide services at a good level
Comment: Today I purchased protective glass from your store and asked a store employee to immediately stick it on. The start was good, he said that we would do everything within 5 minutes. I glued it, peeled it off, glued it again, some small fluff stuck to it, peeled it off again, this happened 4 times. In addition to everything, it was not evenly glued yet, I drew attention to this, to which the employee said that the screen was uneven. haha not the first time I glued glass and everything was fine! I no longer had patience, because everything had already lasted for 25-30 minutes. I went to pay at the cashier and then they told me that the glass sticker costs 700 rubles. Firstly, compared to other stores, it’s a bit expensive, twice as expensive, and secondly, there wouldn’t be any complaints if they glued it properly! I was very unhappy, the employee ruined the whole mood, proving that he did everything perfectly, and it was all my phone’s fault! Tver (employee Ivan - huge gratitude for raising my nerves)

yes, I completely agree with you! I recently bought a phone and purchased a protective glass at the store. I had the same situation with them, they said that we would do everything within 5 minutes. They did it with bubbles, not professionally at all, and in the end they charged you another 800 rubles, but I ask why, since I bought the glass protection for 700 rubles. returned the favor. in the end 1500r. I really regret that I spent money and the glass protection is about to fall off the screen.

Very interesting! Why does the service for a protective glass sticker on your website cost 600 rubles, but in the store they charged me
as much as 800.00 rubles. What is this connected with? A complete disgrace. They also gave me a month of conversation on the Beeline line for 200 rubles as payment, without even asking
to the public. In general, 400.00 rubles were ripped off just like that, without even looking. You can't do that, gentlemen. Not everyone is as rich as you think. Moscow

Comment: I bought glass for iPhone 6s,
They stuck it on me, the cost of the sticker together with the glass was 2800.
As a result, the glass does not block the screen when making a call, iPhone owners will understand that when asked whether it is possible to refuse the glass and take the money, they say that I need to bring a box that no one gave me, the receipt contains some services, to pay for Beeline in the amount of 200 rubles , about which no one told me anything!
In general, I do not recommend using the services of this store!

I bought a phone a couple of months ago and bought a case and glass for it. The phone fell several times, and when it fell, the case unfolded and did not cover the screen. Because of this, my phone was badly broken. But the main thing is that it was not the protective glass that broke, but the glass of the phone!!! It’s just shattered. I don’t know what to do. Is it possible to somehow return the phone or, for example, send it for repairs so that the real phone glass can be replaced? Will it be free?

I wanted to buy a smartphone, but for gluing the protective glass they asked for 1000 rubles, with the price of glass being 1000, this is some kind of robbery, the work is for 3 minutes, they say they have such prices, people work for 1 thousand half a day. The store is in Zheleznodorozhny.

About protective glass for smartphone screens and their advantages over protective films. There were quite a lot of comments, some stated that it was completely pointless to stick something on the phone. If you think so, then this post is not for you. But among those who gave advice on how best to glue, no one told the method that I will discuss below. I came across it relatively recently. And maybe I will act as “Captain Obvious,” but I hope I will be useful to someone.

So, the usual way- this is to create a humid atmosphere to remove all the dust (for example, go to the bath and turn on a hot shower), ideally clean the glass of the phone and quickly, before new dust accumulates, apply the glass. Alas, it’s not possible to stick it more or less evenly the first time. It happened that the glass had to be peeled off and glued again. This increased the chances of catching dust particles, and the sticky layer could be damaged. In any case, the advantage of glass is that it hides almost any hairs; specks of dust and even air bubbles disappear on their own in a day or two. Particularly confused people can remove particles that accidentally fall under the glass using tape. However, as it turned out, there is a simpler way to “sticker”.

Most often, the glass comes with accessories - wet and dry wipes for wiping the screen and a set of stickers. Well, the big one is for dust particles, ok, but what are the small ones for (Guide Sticker) - I didn’t understand, and I didn’t even think about it.

And the casket simply opened. There is no need to remove the film from the protective glass at first. Ideally place it on your smartphone screen and secure it with these very narrow stickers. Then “flip” the glass and clean the smartphone screen thoroughly (you can still do this in a damp room). Remove the film from the glass and apply it to the screen. Ready. Since this method was discovered to me, I glue everything the first time and almost perfectly!

You may ask why I change my protective glass so often? It's simple - I ordered several 0.2 and 0.26 mm glasses for testing and it turned out that they were terribly fragile. They cracked even if the phone was unsuccessfully placed on the table with the display facing down or hit with something in the bag. So I spent it and again ordered the usual 0.3 mm and I’m glad. Yes, they are thicker and it is not as convenient to perform gestures from the edge of the screen (if your smartphone screen is rounded like the iPhone), but I sometimes drop the phone and do not want to accidentally break the screen.

In the first one, I also wrote about 3D type glasses, which are also rounded towards the edges, but in the end I stopped using them. The option with a metal edging does not look very good; dirt gets under the edges. Carbon looks great, but is too fragile. Plus, some cases that go over the edges of the iPhone are incompatible with 3D glass. I have a lot of covers and I change them periodically.

Many iPhone owners We try to treat the device as carefully as possible. For this purpose, various covers, bumpers and protective glasses are purchased.

Here we will tell you how to glue protective glass as simply and quickly as possible without “defects” in the process.

How to do it

Before gluing the protective glass, remove the iPhone case. If the iPhone display is already covered with old film or glass, feel free to remove it. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid getting dirt on the screen.

It is best to glue in a well-lit place so that you can see every speck that gets on the device screen. Well, choose the cleanest possible surface for gluing the glass.

Let's get started

Step 1. Cleaning the iPhone display.

To do this, we use any microfiber cloth so as not to leave anything unnecessary on the screen.

You can also use an alcohol wipe and then wipe the display with a soft microfiber cloth.

Step 2. Additionally, we clean the smartphone screen using the supplied tape or any other sticker.

Simply touch the display with tape and lift it back up. The adhesive surface will collect any remaining dust.

Step 3. Now you need to remove the protective film from the adhesive side of the glass and apply it to the screen.

Important: Hold the glass by the edges to avoid leaving unnecessary marks on it.

Step 4. Carefully place the glass on the iPhone screen.

If the glass is good, it will fit on the smartphone screen on its own. But to be extra sure, you can smooth it out yourself.

We run our finger through the center of the smartphone and begin to smooth it until all the bubbles are removed. If there are any small bubbles left, take a plastic card and, using light pressure, swipe it over the areas where the bubbles formed.

In this tutorial we used Mocoll glass. And it's not just like that

When you look sadly at your iPhone, the display of which is covered with a merciless mesh, it’s too late to think about protection. The manufacturer of protective accessories Mocoll took care of the consumer in advance.

All brand products are designed in such a way that the buyer spends a minimum of time gluing the protective glass.

Considering that Chinese brand Mocoll () has been producing protective glass for several years; the company's engineers have thousands of hours spent in research laboratories.

Glass is produced using high-tech equipment and receives a number of important properties during the processing process. Glass from Mocoll:

They have a thickness of only 0.33 millimeters. Glass is homogeneous and has equal thickness at any point. Among glass manufacturers, Mocoll has one of the lowest percentage of manufacturing tolerances.

Mocoll glass easily withstands the impact of sharp objects and does not crumble into fragments upon impact.

Hardness at 9H on the Mohs scale. Only diamond is higher.

The glass has an oleophobic coating, so after gluing it you will not feel any tactile changes from interacting with the iPhone screen.

Mocoll supplies its products with a rich package. The kit contains everything you need to glue glass without additional purchases or searching for a piece of fabric or plastic card to eliminate bubbles.

Mocoll has several options at once protective glasses. 2.5D, 3D and advanced development - 3D glass with elastic edges to match the color of the device’s body.

As you can see above, installing Mocoll safety glass is very easy. Due to the presence of a special silicone layer, you don’t have to worry about the appearance of hated bubbles during gluing.
