Claim:
A roller apparatus graspable by a user's hand for applying a protective layer to a surface of an electronic device, the roller apparatus comprising: a carriage having a first end and a second end and a mid bar extending between the first end and the second end, with a distance from an outermost edge of the first end to an outermost edge of the second end being between two to four inches, inclusive; a first roller coupled to the carriage and extending between the first end and the second end and positioned such that a gap exists between the mid bar and the first roller, the first roller configured to press the protective layer against the surface of the electronic device; a second roller coupled to the carriage and extending between the first end and the second end and positioned such that the mid bar is positioned between the first roller and the second roller and a gap exists between the mid bar and the second roller, the second roller configured to press the protective layer against the surface of the electronic device while the first roller presses the protective layer against the surface of the electronic device; a pressing portion coupled to the carriage, the pressing portion configured to allow a user to contact the pressing portion to increase a pressure applied by the first roller and the second roller to the protective layer, the mid bar being sized such that the mid bar extends between the first roller and the second roller in a direction towards the surface to a distance such that the mid bar does not contact the protective layer when the first roller and the second roller both press the protective layer against the surface when the surface is flat; and a stand portion configured to assist the electronic device to remain in an upright position when the electronic device is inserted into the roller apparatus.
