When we buy a new smartphone, one of the first things we do is to apply a screen protector. Screen protectors are among the most critical details we prefer or will choose for our smartphones. Without screen protectors, we cannot protect our devices’ screen technology, and we may damage our screens during any impact or fall. To prevent such incidents, we must choose a screen protector.
Screen protectors are manufactured with a technology similar to gorilla glass technology that we prefer in our smartphones. Thanks to this technology, our smartphones do not get damaged during any impact. To ensure this, we must choose screen protectors, as mentioned above. Screen protectors shatter during an impact or fall, which helps protect the screen technology.
Why Do Screen Protectors Have Air Bubbles?
Screen protectors are produced under much better conditions compared to old-generation technologies. They even provide a guide to help users attach this equipment to their devices more effectively. Users can apply screen protectors to their devices without needing a second person.
Applying a screen protector is, of course, a straightforward process. However, there are still some details we need to know. For example, the adhesive part at the bottom of the screen protector needs to be attached to a clean surface. This ensures both better adhesion and no air bubbles between the screen protector and the device’s screen.
Many users who apply screen protectors see air bubbles within the glass. This situation occurs due to the screen not being thoroughly cleaned during installation and incorrect steps when attaching the screen protector to the screen surface. If you encounter such an event, you need to follow these steps:
- Remove the screen protector from its place.
- Clean the screen again with the alcohol-based wipes included in the package and dry it.
- After making sure the screen is entirely clean, place the protective glass evenly on the screen.
- After placing the screen protector, use a card or a similar object to push the air bubbles towards the edge of the glass and eliminate the bubbles.
