10 Best Way To Install Tempered Glass Screen Protector (2022 Updated)

I gave up on screen protectors long ago, but purchased the Zagg after upgrading to an iPhone 13 Pro from an oversized phone (XS Max Pro) that seemed to be designed to drop! The scratch protector is a pretty easy install on a new CLEAN screen.

I managed to get a few stubborn bubbles to disappear, only to have them show up elsewhere a few hours later. My protector was a dud, as factory precuts were week, leaving a tacky looking and abrasive jagged quarter-inch edge at the top.

Bottom line, I bought the screen protector, used for a few days, then ditched it. I have had numerous iPhones and suffered only one cracked screen (with an identically cracked Zagg screen protector).

After the screen was replaced under Apple warranty, I asked the tech if screen protectors were ”all that. ” Experience had demonstrated that phones with or without screen protectors seemed equally likely to have a broken screen, based on how most screens break.

The majority of screen breaks are caused by frame compression, especially from corner or side frame/surface impact. It’s rare to see an iPhone break from direct glass-to-ground impact. The Apple tech recommends a good case that protects the frame and corners as the second best method to prevent screen breakage; the first being not to drop the iPhone in the first place.

Accidents happen. Screen protectors are fine for those who want to avoid minor scratches and similar cosmetic damage, but it’s hard to assume that a piece of fragile, nanometers thin, flexible glass will hold up under the impacts capable of breaking Apple’s embedded ceramic glass.

I guess marketing still can’t change physics.

This is the first screen protector I’ve actually been able to install 100% perfectly and there isnt a single piece of dust caught between the iPhone’s glass and the screen protector! All the other’s I’ve bought over the years ended up being taken off and trashed after about 30 min of them being on because I’m SUPER OCD and they were too diffiuclt to align perfectly and by the time I kept messing with them to get them aligned just right a ton of dust and stuff got stuck to them! The tray they include to help you install the screen protector worked like a charm the very first attempt! I’ve read a few negative reviews stating that this screen protector covers up the speaker at the top of the screen on the 14 Pro Max but that is not accurate… There is a little dip in the screen protector that allows for that speaker to be completely exposed on this newest model.

The speaker is now located at the very tip top of the screen and it’s just a super thin little slit that you can barely see. Maybe some people are installing the screen protector upside down which would cover up the speaker but when installed correctly this thing is perfection!.

The product of course is a premium item. You can get screen protectors cheaper everywhere else. I thought I’d give it a shot since it is on sale. An advantage to getting it is you can get it replaced by BestBuy if it breaks or wears out, as long as it was purchased in BestBuy.

Now onto the cons, the screen protector isn’t cut right. The margins on the top and bottom is roughly double the size of the sides. The cut isn’t straight as well, like with the one I got, it’s aligned straight on the left, top and bottom but the right side is a bit skewed.

I got the same brand for a 14 Pro and it also has a bit of skew on it, it’s not perfectly straight. Not something that you would expect to be 4x the price of other screen protectors. Even BestBuy’s own brand might be better, except you don’t get installation trays with it.

I wouldn’t recommend this product at all.

WriteRight universal screen protector kit is okay, based on what I just personally experienced. It took a long time sticking the screen protector since I have to measure 4 sides of my iphone 7, I didn’t upgrade since this still works for me, then cutting the sides.

When I finally got it sticking, bubbles appeared and I have to run the squeegee card from the center out toward the edges which helps. When I put back my casing, the edges wrinkled so I have to trimmed the corners again.

I am not a pro about this because I am used to buying screen protectors based on my unit’s accurate size & brand. I somehow manage to make my phone looked descent after all the works. It has ultra clear finish, scratch resistance, touch friendly, packed in 3s screen protector, 1 year limited warranty, fit to a wide range of devices up to 5.

5”!.

A cut-to-fit screen protector sounds like a good idea in theory but it doesn’t work well in practice. If your phone has square corners, instead of rounded, that would make it a little easier. It’s challenging to cut a rounded corner to match the path of your screen edge.

I’m reasonably good at cutting in a straight line, yet I found cutting the protector to size challenging. After applying the protector, I realized the home button on my iPhone SE was covered and unusable so I had to peel back the protector and freehand a cutout for the button.

It doesn’t look great. I didn’t bother trying to do the same for the camera and speaker holes at the top of the screen. My previous glass screen protector cost less than $10 for a three-pack and it was precision-cut to fit my exact phone model, holes and all.

A friend gave me this as a treat and I immediately put it on my phone. Easy to apply and use. Saves my surface from all the scratches and insults I put it through. Would recommend to anyone interested in saving their screen from abuse, or everyday use.

The screen protector comes with an aligner that fits to the phone to make sure the protector goes on perfectly, which it did, the first time. The lens protector sort of clicked into place over the lenses when I put it on.

It looked a bit odd when it first went on like it wasn’t adhered properly, but after pressing it down the protector made good contact and the texture went away. Now my phone is totally protected. I can’t see any change in picture quality, auto focusing or lens flares since applying the lens protector.

I have had such good luck with this brand that I won’t purchase any others. Great product has protected my daughters and wife’s phones on number of occasions, saving the costly repair or preplacement of phones.

All at a great price.

I have used JETech screen protectors in the past atleast 3 times and I’ve been satisfied with them. Easy to apply and long lasting

Let me start by saying that I purchased the ProGlass screen protector for my girlfriend’s iPhone 6s Plus and not only was it super easy to install, but the price was perfect and there were zero bubbles/lines around the edges.

It literally took me 30 seconds and it was perfect. With all of this in mind, I eventually purchased a ProGlass for my iPhone 7. This is where things got complicated! The glass protector itself is too small and doesn’t work as designed with the (would be) super helpful included tools.

As a result, I kept having issues with the installation process. It took me four trips back and forth to WalMart, until I finally was able to install one of these protectors with relative success. Now when I say the protector is too small, I mean it doesn’t cover the top and bottom bezels of the phone as well as other glass protectors I’ve seen.

There is like an half of an inch gap of exposed phone from where the protector ends and my case starts. I have an Otterbox Symmetry case which has a very large lip around the edges of the phone, too! Also, the protector barely covers the screen on both sides, horizontally.

I’m also experiencing the “peeled up/not sticking around the edges of the phone look”, which I’ve experienced with the Zagg protectors that I had on my 6/6+; Although its not super noticeable and probably won’t bother most people, it probably is more prone to cracking on the sides because of this.

I’m also experiencing a tracer looking bubble line by my home button. I don’t see anything trapped under the protector in that area, so it has me kind of baffled as to why it’s there. Ultimately, I think the $10 price tag is great and as long as you are very patient with the installation process and you’re able to overlook some minor issues, then I think you should be happy with this product.

Great product. Good camera. Good filters. Great for night shots. Easy for texting and calls. Definitely needs a better battery. After 2 years battery is shot. Other than that I like this phone a lot.

Really don’t want to change but the battery is definitely an issue if you plan to keep it long term.

I love my It as all the features I need for my daily life and gets great bars signals and holds a charge for quite a long time. I charge mine every other day and it does fine. I don’t use it for gaming because I use my iPad for that so this is strictly a phone for calls and photos.

The screen is a good size and it has all the bells and whistles. I will keep this for another year and the upgrade. Overall, I am very happy with my iPhone 7.

Only screen protector I will ever buy. I drop my phone all time. This is the only screen protector that will shatter and my phone screen is still 100% perfect!

I strongly feel I made the right choice here!

It’s a great protection for my phone at bargain price.

Good fitting screen protector, the installation frame works very well and leads to the perfect fit. Sensitivity is barely affected. One tip is to look for a way to reduced airborne dust before installing.

Great quality, easy to install, fits perfect to the screen. Cant really tell youve got a protector on. Very happy with this product!

Great quality kit making it the easiest to fit

This is a 3 pack of screen protector! Don’t know why anyone needs so much, but its price is great! Installation is super easy! It comes with a frame that can be snapped onto the outside of the phone, so all you need to do is to make sure that there is no stray dust on the screen, remove the sticky cover, and then drop into the edge (I started from the top of the camera).

Tap a part of the screen to start bonding, and watch the air squeeze out. Honestly, ensuring that the screen is clean is the hardest part. It is also equipped with 3x wet wipes, 3x dry wipes and 3 dustproof stickers to remove stray dust.

If you let the edges touch, the dust sticker will leave a little residue, so I rolled it up a bit (grab the two sides) and used the center to spot the stray particles. It feels good and smooth to the touch.

Crystal clear. The effect is very good, will buy again, recommend the product, thanks casebus.

Finally! I have endlessly searched for a good fitting glass screen protector for the iPhone since the 6. The curved edges always made the glass protectors lift on the edges. The SuperShieldz screen protector fits absolutely perfectly.

All of the edges are sealed to the phone and it feels like there is nothing on the phone. Screen is perfectly clear and it does not affect touches on the screen. For the price this cannot be beaten!.

Let me make it simple and easy this product deserves the 5 stars. This is my fourth screen protector since I got the phone on November 3rd. Very reasonable price because youre gonna get a pack of 3 tempered glass screen protectors come along with 3 pieces of alcohol, 3 guid stickers, 3 dust stickers and finally 3 pieces of clothing.

This item fits just right. Im happy with it.

This is the best screen protector I have used! It is easy to install so you don’t need to worry about dust and bubbles. The protector is also a thick tempered glass, just as described. A highly recommended product at a great price!.

For those reviews that say it’s too small for the SE 2020, they don’t know what they’re talking about. The design of the screen of the SE and 8 is different; it curves at the edges. Therefore, the screen protector cannot go all the way to the edges; it has to stick to the flat portion, and cannot curve with the curved edges.

A glass screen protector that goes all the way to the edges would cause the dreaded “halo effect”. This screen protector is easy to put on, if you take your time to get it lined up and make sure to get all dust off.

I went into the bathroom and shut the door to minimize floating dust and dog hairs. Strangely, the instructions that come in the package are incorrect; go to the website and follow their video instructions.

I did have two small bubbles after placement, but they eventually came out. I have had this on my phone for over a month, and so far so good. I have not dropped it, so I don’t know how it might handle drops.

You get three protectors for this price–excellent deal.

I bought this product hoping it would protect my phone but in less then two days the “screen protector” was already scratched (I didn’t even drop or do any damage in any way for it that to happen) it’s also a very thin piece of plastic, not even glass!! I do NOT trust this to protect my phone, I’d rather pay extra for something that will protect and look nice for 6 months to a year then something that barley lasts a day.

If you’re very careful with your phone then feel free to get this, it comes with six extra screen protectors which is nice… if they were the real deal. Otherwise I do not recommend. :/.

If it weren’t for the hassle to try and return for a refund i would have sent these back. The reason i say this is because they are WAY TOO THICK (once you peel back the adhesive and attach to your phone you don’t know what issues you will have).

I could NOT type my texts without POUNDING EACH AND EVERY LETTER which made it a big pain in the rear to send texts. Im very serious about this issue. If you don’t text, then they would do a decent job of protecting your screen.

However i live on my phone with texting capabilities and simply can NOT do so with any ease. So i had to peel off this hard plastic screen and then clean off the stickiness it left on my screen. It was a waste of money for me.

And didn’t care to go thru the hassle of trying to get a refund or partial refund for the 2 left that were not used. Thank gawd they weren’t terribly expensive. I threw them away.

I don’t write reviews really. But I feel like it’d help others here. This is a freakin great screen protector. I just quit my job to start a business and so I’m trying to save money when I can. I was gonna get a Zagg one (the popular standard) but I’ve had like 2 in the past year and thought I’d try a different brand.

This one has the same features as Zagg and any good screen protector should have like 9H hardness and silky touch feel. Ohhhh boy. Let me tell you how freakin stoked I was when I got this for $15 – ten dollars less than the standard one from Zagg.

It’s way silkier to the touch and feels very premium. Also I was surprised to find out Insignia includes an alignment tool just like Zagg, and tbh this one did a slightly better alignment. This is a “Best Buy” ;D.

This product does not live up to the billing. I purchased it because it has a lifetime replacement, but constantly going back to the store to replace it is not worth it. It breaks regularly. The stores typically don’t have it in stock and I have to wait for it to be ordered and delivered to the store and then go back to the store to replace it.

I could have it sent to my home, but I would have to leave the broken one at the store. This would leave my device unprotected until the replacement arrives, totally eliminating the purpose of the purchase.

I’ve had this protector for less than a week. It seems totally fine and if you are careful with your phone screen it will probably last until you peel it off to sell it because you got a new phone. The alignment tool that comes with it though.

It says to push it on the phone until it clicks. It doesn’t click, just mushes into place until you can’t press it on anymore. You get everything clean and dustless, carefully set one end of the protector right up to the edge of the tool, start slowly pressing it down the length of the screen, and TWICE it caught the lip of the opposite end of the alignment tool.

The first time I tried to gently get it past the lip and onto the screen, and it just shattered on that corner as it flicked past the plastic edge and onto the phone. Wasted immediately. Fortunately you get either one free replacement through Best Buy (or indefinite replacements if you let Geek Squad put it on after paying an additional $8).

I carefully went to put on the replacement. Exact same thing happened. I had to put it on halfway, then carefully just take off the alignment tool and then press it on the rest of the way and it was fine.

So look out for that. Everything else about this protector and the stuff it comes with seems totally good for the cheaper price than other options.
