This is a general guide for UV glass screen protectors for curved displays.

This is from my personal experience with tips that could be helpful to everyone.

I hope you'll enjoy my guide :)

DISCLAIMER:

*I am not responsible for bricked devices, damage to your device, dust under your screen and this isn't a dust free guaranteed guide*

Sorry for not including any installation methods as the majority of YouTube videos and guides cover the overall aspect of what needs to be done during installation. Please do offer advice and tips as well!

If you're stuck, just ask and I or anyone else will try and help 🤗

I am here to post tips and advice for anyone who is interested/need help/or didn't know. I have tested these myself and hopefully, be will helpful to others who may be struggling :)

IMPORTANT NOTES!

Personally, install screen protectors in open kitchen areas (not living room) and in bathrooms as they are the best dust-free places from my experience

There will be human error and dust can get under the adhesive :(

Wash your hands of course!

Make sure your hands aren't really dry with flaky skin...

Turn off any fans or devices that could blow around and spread dust

For glass screen protectors, always remove the plastic film on the screen protector with the glass facing upwards

So hold the actual glass with it on top and peel the plastic film underneath it

NEVER PEEL WITH the plastic film ON TOP AS YOU'LL EXPOSE THE ADHESIVE AND DUST CAN LAND ON IT

Peeling from underneath will at least reduce dust getting on the adhesive

Don't bother removing dust from the middle of the screen protector!

IT ISN'T WORTH IT! Just install another one if it really annoys you :(

Prerequisite Tips and advice:

The pros and cons of regular/non-UV glass screen protectors...

Pros:

Feel better

Less fingerprints

More durable

U can put ur phone flat on the display with zero issues

Dust under the screen protector can be removed with a thin-tip compass from the edges or you could remove the display and rinse it to remove the dust particles

Any drops can cause bubbles but they can be removed

Cons:

Some glass screen protectors don't have a full adhesive and can be misleading where only the edges have the adhesive

Glass are thicker than TPU plastic ones, so they can be rough when using the device without a case

The pros and cons of TPU/Plastic film screen protectors...

Pros:

Easier installation

Some plastic screen protectors have 2 segments in which u use a spudger and that can push dust off

Better clarity! Higher chance of 0 dust under the display

More seamless with the device which is good when using the device without a case

Any bubbles can be removed easily

Cons:

Feel best when brand new

Less fingerprints at the start and will get smudged quickly after

Less durable

Fingernails, dust particles and pressure can leave marks

Can be pierced

Never put ur phone flat on the display or it'll leave marks

Doesn't protect the device from drops! Only good to protect from scratches

Never try to remove dust under the screen protector unless the dust is right at the edge. Or just remove the whole screen protector and start again!

The pros and cons of UV glass screen protectors...

Pros:

Feel better

Less fingerprints

More durable

U can put ur phone flat on the display with zero issues

Cons:

Harder to install and takes longer

Dust under the screen protector can't be removed or you'll have to remove the whole screen protector and start again

Any drops will cause permanent separation with the LOCA glue and the display

U can remove as much dust from the display glass, but nothing is stopping dust from landing on the glue :(

When installing a UV glass screen protector there's the regular standard method all screen protector companies offer and u should follow each step...

But they never suggest or say to check if your table or surface is level or not...

As a tip, before setting up everything and installing the UV screen protector.

You should install a spirit/bubble leveling app

Use the app to check if the table/surface your gonna use is level or not.

This will use your phone to check if your surface is level or not

This will prevent the UV glue from leaking or off-centre.

If it isn't level try to use flat thin objects to make it level

This was very helpful from my experience and the UV glue never leaked into my speakers because of it.
