For the shower/steam method, I found that condensation would accumulate underneath the screen protector and so the install would fail. Now if you wait long enough, the condensation will go away. But as you're waiting, you can't use the bathroom because using a facial tissue or toilet paper (my hand towels were terrible for dust) will re-introduce dust back in the air and you have to go through the entire process. It can be done but I found just being diligent in the immediate install area being more effective.
well, I just did my installation of my screen protector in the bathroom after I ran shower for a few. Its perfect. I have to cause I live in a studio apartment and I have a furry cat .no other way to keep cat out lol. Been doing the shower thing for about 3 phones now but he is right about condensation, so u wait a few minutes, go to bathroom first before u start shower. He is also right about washing hands , cleaning area, go through a practice of what to do and I do have a air purifier, who knows if it reaches bathroom lol. I also change my clothes cause kitty is all over.
One tip I recently discovered which finally kept me from getting dust under the screen protector. If you have a good tactical flashlight, once you THINK you've gotten all the dust off, shine it at an angle onto the screen right before you install the protector. I promise you'll see 1-2 dust specks that you didn't see before. I only wish I had tried it earlier and saved some headaches!
I've done more than 200 screen protector installs for family and friends and myself. This is the way-extremely solid advice. I do the same steps on dust prevention and I also wear nitrile gloves because skin can flake off and behave just like dust does. Thanks.
Most nitrile gloves are powder coated on the inside. I plan on adding your step and taping the back of the gloves to my wrist. Then washing glove covered hands before I start. Big thanks to both you gentlemen.
@@docbooth8834 The ones I use don't have any powder on the inside. They're a little more difficult to put on but on the plus side they are very inexpensive.
I watched this hoping to find something I hadn't been doing. Sliding your finger down the middle is something I hadn't been doing but it's genius. Great video!
I think condensation can be an issue. I've done it in a show room but not to the point where there's so much condensation that it's a problem. The extra humidity usually helps against dust anyway.
This is the only tutorial I have watched that mentions just leaving the phone alone if the bubbles are along the edges and they will disappear after a few hours, and I really appreciate that because it worked for me. Thank you so much. I would probably have ruined the protector trying to install and re-install it which I did one time before coming across your video.
The easiest screen protector I ever used with no bubbles was IQ Shield brand. You apply a detergent spray to the sticky side of the film and then you put it on the screen. The liquid lets you slide the protector to be perfectly aligned with the phone cutouts. Then once the protector is where you want it, you squeegee out the liquid from the middle, like how they install window tint. It’s cloudy at first but the screen clears up after a few hours and there are zero bubbles and no dust specks. 😊
I come back to watch this every time i need to install a new screen protector and after following all of the instructions i always have a perfect install. thank you so much!!!
Your dog is literally the cutest!! Thank you for this video! I didnt ever think of some of these ways to ensure dust-free, it makes sense and so much easier
Appreciate your videos! I bought the Zagg ZTR2 glass for my iPhone 14 Pro. Zagg had great instructions and included tools. For the first time ever, I installed the glass myself and it went flawlessly! Thank you! Love Montie. He's too cute!
The best screen protectors I’ve used are the spigen ones with the tray you lay your phone on and push from the backside. I’ve never had any issue installing them completely dust free.
My attempt with screen protectors of any consequence was my wife's Galaxy s7 FE 12.4" screen. My first attempt was great except for 2 dust eyes at the bottom or last part of the screen lay down. By the time I quit there was 7. I have a new protector on the way and am planning on using the public library at a table as far from an A/C air register as I can get. As I live in the desert and everything has a perpetual fine layer of pink dust from the red rocks and soil, I thought that was my best option. With your information I am sure I will succeed. Thanks VERY MUCH. I will be checking your channel regularly for generic phone & tablet info and would subscribe but you are iphone specific. It is hard for me to even write that manufacturers name without throwing or breaking something or both. Your video is the only video that spoke English that was pleasant, understandable, explained completely and to my knowledge provided a complete training on those pesky little screen protectors.
You just saved me from throwing away a second screen protector. I bought a 2 pack and threw the first one away because there was so much dust under it. Using the dust sticker to remove remaining dust once you install the screen protector worked great! I lifted the screen protector up a little too far on the corner so it will now most likely stay up. I can live with that more than dust on the screen. Thanks a bunch
I'll tell you what I did in your section where you say after 2 or 3 times dust gets everywhere. I just took the whole protector off (did this on an iPad so a phone should be even easier), flipped it to the adhesive side up, applied masking tape over the whole protector in strips, pressed and then prepared the device for install, peeled the masking tape off all at once and used the method of placing it and dropping directly onto the device (as you did) touching the middle and voila! no dust. Thanks!
MAN!!!!!! You saved me some money with that little sticker under the glass deal. I used my hands after and ruined glue or brought more dust. Dropped it. This is why you’re my Favorite Phone related fella. THANK YOU. ❤
I paid 30-ish Euros (349 SEK) for the Belkin Ultraglass, at the local Apple retailer (mStore). They installed it with that fancy gear they have. Worth every penny not having to deal with my Assburger/OCD while attaching screen protector.
Hey Sir take a bow. A great video and you simplify the process so well for us who don't use screen proctors all the time. A BIG thumbs up and thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video and help others.
I watched your previous video about top 5 screen protector kind of staff. And you recommended the Flolab one. Yeh ! That Flolab One Time installation kit is just so so easy to apply. I did it flawlessly with no dust , all the sides fit corner to corner. Love it!
I did my casetify screen protector install last week lol. I kept getting dust on it, so I resorted to running the sticky side under warm water and blow drying the water off. Worked 😂
Love this video! Great tips. I feel like I have mastered the screen protector at this point. Such an under appreciated piece as I usually see people's screens with dust and/or air bubbles from not installing properly.
This was extremely helpful for guidance as I was trying to install my Steam Deck screen protector from Jsaux. Specifically the dress rehearsal, laying everything out, and while you didn't _mention_ it, I noticed in the reflection that you were wearing a face mask, which in hindsight seems like a no brainer. I ended up having a few bits of dust near the upper right corner of my Deck this time, but I'm going to give it a few days like you said and see if the adhesive is able to push them out. Thanks so much!
Very useful tips but the dog is the best part of the video😂. Btw I've had an ESR screen protector for years and they come with a frame for installing but they're already the size of your phone. Really useful and good protectors.
Great video tips. I always see ads and demos where they effortlessly just slide the finger to the middle of the screen and the screen protector magically install to the screen perfectly. When trying it myself it seem to just stuck somewhere and air bubbles lol.
So I have a Samsung S21 Ultra, but I just really like your videos, and the best and easiest screen protector that I have ever bought and used is the amFilm Elastic Skin Screen Protector. It comes with great tools and is so easy to install. It is a steal at $8.99, and it comes with two screen protectors.
Perfect everytime, the main thing I have (it won’t matter to most maybe it’s my OCD) but people who remove the back off if the screen protector sticky side up ? Just asking for dust and crap in the air, peel that backing off when the protector is upside down and at the very last minute…..
Step 11: There is a liquid adhesive on the market for tempered glass for situation where by white edges are seen after a few days around the glass, just squeeze a little through the edges and it'll be like new
You can wash some of the protectors with hot soapy water. Also you can reset the install if you lay the dusty protector on masking tape bigger than the actual screen protector. Usually you get 2 chances until its done and have to buy another one.
i had a spigen ez install for my 14 pro max. massive screen and i got a tiny bit of dust in the middle. I watched a video where the guy takes his screen protector off and wraps the whole side in tape, so it gets rid of the dust, then, re clean the screen, take the tape off and reapply, this method actually works and got rid of the dust. Due to my finger touching the adhesive on the edge of the protector when removing the first time there is a small mark but its right on the edge so its not even noticeable. Was really ready to buy a second screen protector.
I think the main issue isn’t making sure your screen is clean and dust free (that’s pretty simple), the issue is soon as your start to peel off the screen protector covering, the static instantly attracts any dust to the adhesive side and all that work you put into cleaning the screen is for nothing. That and my extreme OCD, I cannot have a single noticeable spec of dust under my screen protector so my several attempts with the $20 Spigen protector on my iPad Pro gets costly quick.
It’s not the corner of the glass that bent that is not allowing it to adhere, it is the silicone underneath that was damaged in the corner due to the removal by either your nail or whatever else was used to try and lift the glass. You can see in the video.
I think installing screen protectors, specially tempered glass ones, can also be kind of an exercise in acceptance. I recently installed one on my Xiaomi and somehow everything aligned so perfectly on the first try that I just accepted the tiny speck of dust that got left under, as it didn't even cause a bubble, matter of fact it's completely invisible with the screen on.
I love you I remember commenting if you could make an updated video on the proper technique to install a screen protector and here it is. Your content is extremely helpful thank you
Not necessarily related to this videos topic. But do you think it’s possible to incorporate custom service and warranties into some of your reviews? Maybe like your top 3 picks for a certain item as I’m sure that would super time consuming. Some of these products are pretty pricey and customer service makes or breaks certain brands for me now. I will never shop with otter box again based off their customer service. It’s absolutely horrendous. But a pretty decent warranty.
or alternatively just spend the dollar more that it costs to get a fixed frame for the installation process of course - but I still appreciate the tips about all the dust and the bending, I did not consider that at all.
Try those with easy installer where you just put your dust free naked phone on the dust free easy installer and just pull the plastic layer out. Those works every time and no dust or bubble.
Ive enjoyed quad lock for years now since i enjoyed using it on my motorcycle. Previously u said that quadlock's rather finnicky, could u please try out the new quadlock mag range?
Is there any reason not to use this “glass-only” technique? One of the companies had a system like this, I can’t remember which. Red packaging. I tweaked it a little. Easily replicated. 2 rubber bands, 1 wrapped around each end/side (forming “+”). This holds the glass allowing you to fine-tune the positioning. Pick a side/end to place 2 pieces of painter’s tape, forming a “hinge”. Carefully remove rubber bands. Place a single piece of painter’s tape on the opposite end/side to use as a little handle. This will help prevent the SP from “over/under-hinging” Unhinge. Remove any dust particles on phone’s screen. Remove glass backing and carefully close that book.

I always remember the middle finger slide 😅 from years ago , I’m also an expert with 3 girls and the wife being my test subjects as no mater how good the glass (even sapphire) the girls seem to break. Wtf I don’t think I’ve brocken one but I do change them when I see a scratch on my screen due to ocd .
I tired Defenslim and it did not work any where near as well as their videos suggest. I still had bubbles that could not be "worked out". Their video did not elude to any of the steps you detailed.
Hello, Your screen protector reviews are awesome! Thank you. I have always preferred a tempered glass screen protector and that is what I have used over the past 15 years. Recently, I purchased a new phone and could not find a really good tempered glass screen protector that would adhere 100% to my screen, as the edges are curved. So I had to use a TPU screen protector and found one that seams to be very good. I also found another TPU screen protector on the internet, that looks to be better than tempered glass. Unfortunately, I cannot find where to buy one. The two TPU screen protectors I would like to know if you have ever tried, and if so what are your thoughts on them, are as follows: The first one is IQ Shield. It is a TPU screen protector, made in the US and comes in a white and green box. It uses a wet installation and from my experience, seems to be the best TPU screen protector I have used in many years. Its super thin and is quite smooth, considering its TPU. The second protector is Nanoglass Supramolecular screen protector. The manufactures video on this product is very impressive. In fact, if it is as good as they say it is, it is much better than tempered glass and possibly the best screen protector on the planet. I cannot find this screen protector for purchase anywhere or much info on it, but here is a link to a demonstration video. www.indiegogo.com/projects/nanoglass-the-most-powerful-screen-protector#/ Let me know your thoughts, Thank You
Is there any oily ness over the screen after installing the screen protector?..The oily ness is visible to me at full brightness and at white screen. It's not an outside problem I am sure of that..
I’ve tried 9x now and I still can’t do this without getting dust under it or messing it up in some other way. I’ve tried everything. After trying the steam method, none of the screen protectors install without bubbles in the top right corner. Every single attempt some dust has been under, even though there was none before I applied. I almost had it perfect on my last one but then some dust appeared at the top edge, I wasn’t sure if it was under but some of it was, I removed the protector partially and then more and more dust appeared! I just applied another one and dust appeared, I removed the protector partially to get rid of it but now the protector is majorly misaligned somehow, it’s about 0.5mm to far to the left and lopsided. I really don’t know what to do, I’ve spent so much on screen protectors at this point 😢
I don't understand why ANYONE would do it in a shower with STEAM and hot water running! What I do is go into the shower long after the shower is over because there is still water all around (floor, walls, ceiling), and all that water typically catches any dust flying around.
Worst screen protector is a warped screen protector.Tried everything to get it flat and just didn't work.Heat did not help or pressing flat.Need new ones that arrive flat.Any ideas to get a warped glass protector flat?
Meh why not save yourself all that hassle and get the spigen easy fit screen protector?? I’ve been using them for a number of years and have never ever had an issue with air bubbles or dust. Comes with a tray and so so easy to apply. Not sure why anyone in their right minds would do it the old way 😂.
I need help! I noticed I had my dogs fur under my phone screen protector I tried taking it out, but it just ended getting a whole lot worse my entire screen protector came off my phone and now their is lint and dust everywhere. I am currently at work and I need to clean this screen protector when I head back home cause this is the 2nd spare screen protector that I had used and now I am going to have to purchase another new phone screen protector again if this doesn’t go well. 😰
Dust under a screen protector is the biggest trigger in the world for my OCD. The slightest speck of dust and the screen protector must be destroyed and a new one re-applied.
Ever thought of trying android phones? Although one can expect same quality screen protectors for different phones from the same screen protector manufacturer they need to be tested, what this channel does! Even then, the shape, weight & size of devices introduce enough variables to result in different protection performance for different phones from the same brand. Add different brands & you have a lifetime worth screen protectors to test & diversify the channel.
I could have used this video a couple years ago. I bought a Flolab protector as per your recommendation and I got stuck in that infinite step eleven trying to get rid of all the dust until the corner got bent. I reached out to them and they offered me a “free” replacement that I had to pay around $10 to get. I left the protector as it was until I realized 3 days into a Disney vacation that one of the dust bubbles were creating blurry spots on my front-facing camera pics. I trashed the screen protector and I’ve been going au naturel ever since.
I plan to get the flolab nano armor screen protector for my iPhone 14, but I also plan to use the otterbox case, is it a good idea to get the flolab considering it’s an edge to edge screen protector? I’m hesitant to use the flolab just because it might not fit well with the otterbox phone case
For the shower/steam method, I found that condensation would accumulate underneath the screen protector and so the install would fail. Now if you wait long enough, the condensation will go away. But as you're waiting, you can't use the bathroom because using a facial tissue or toilet paper (my hand towels were terrible for dust) will re-introduce dust back in the air and you have to go through the entire process. It can be done but I found just being diligent in the immediate install area being more effective.
Hey, make a review on the new Ohsnap grip 3 pro.
Then just don’t go to the bathroom for toilet paper or a tissue it’s only like 10 minutes
How long would you say, should I wait?
This didn't work for my screen protector 😂😂 is cheesy

Yeah I used this trick and was amazed with the amount of dust xD
Can i use my other phone flashlight to check it?

pinned comment now addresses this!
The moisture makes the dust harder to see and remove and I agree he did a good job explaining in simple terms I'm a bit slow lol
What about running a humidifier instead?
Silly me. I always install my protectors in a desert or on the beach during windy days.
This is the only tutorial I have watched that mentions just leaving the phone alone if the bubbles are along the edges and they will disappear after a few hours, and I really appreciate that because it worked for me.

I use Spigen screen protectors with alignmasters for all my devices.
Is there any reason not to use this “glass-only” technique? One of the companies had a system like this, I can’t remember which. Red packaging. I tweaked it a little. Easily replicated.
2 rubber bands, 1 wrapped around each end/side (forming “+”). This holds the glass allowing you to fine-tune the positioning.
Pick a side/end to place 2 pieces of painter’s tape, forming a “hinge”.
Carefully remove rubber bands. Place a single piece of painter’s tape on the opposite end/side to use as a little handle. This will help prevent the SP from “over/under-hinging”
Unhinge. Remove any dust particles on phone’s screen. Remove glass backing and carefully close that book.
Thank you!!!
Where’s Val???
She’s gone, no explanation was ever given.
Don’t worry, chad will be in here with their weird copy/paste message soon
@@Dalythu I can't help it if what happened was weird. He probably had no chance with her if he was single, let alone married with a kid. Then he rents a separate house and tried to get her drunk repeatedly. This isn't a forum where everyone can go to one thread for a discussion, just a bunch of comments asking the same thing. Thus the copy/paste. You can ask Val yourself on IG.

@@Chad-rb1gn yeah but why are you replying to every comment. Why are you so invested? It’s creepy
I always remember the middle finger slide 😅 from years ago , I’m also an expert with 3 girls and the wife being my test subjects as no mater how good the glass (even sapphire) the girls seem to break. Wtf I don’t think I’ve brocken one but I do change them when I see a scratch on my screen due to ocd .
I tired Defenslim and it did not work any where near as well as their videos suggest. I still had bubbles that could not be "worked out". Their video did not elude to any of the steps you detailed.
Try buying a kit that includes frame for perfect installation. We have a video that makes it super simple, fast and forward. 2 min video
Hello, Your screen protector reviews are awesome! Thank you. I have always preferred a tempered glass screen protector and that is what I have used over the past 15 years. Recently, I purchased a new phone and could not find a really good tempered glass screen protector that would adhere 100% to my screen, as the edges are curved. So I had to use a TPU screen protector and found one that seams to be very good. I also found another TPU screen protector on the internet, that looks to be better than tempered glass. Unfortunately, I cannot find where to buy one. The two TPU screen protectors I would like to know if you have ever tried, and if so what are your thoughts on them, are as follows: The first one is IQ Shield. It is a TPU screen protector, made in the US and comes in a white and green box. It uses a wet installation and from my experience, seems to be the best TPU screen protector I have used in many years. Its super thin and is quite smooth, considering its TPU. The second protector is Nanoglass Supramolecular screen protector. The manufactures video on this product is very impressive. In fact, if it is as good as they say it is, it is much better than tempered glass and possibly the best screen protector on the planet. I cannot find this screen protector for purchase anywhere or much info on it, but here is a link to a demonstration video. www.indiegogo.com/projects/nanoglass-the-most-powerful-screen-protector#/
Let me know your thoughts,
Thank You
I see you updated that old video
Is there any oily ness over the screen after installing the screen protector?..The oily ness is visible to me at full brightness and at white screen. It's not an outside problem I am sure of that..
Spigen the best hands down
Video idea: how do you remove a screen protector and any residue, while minimising any negative effects on the screen and its coating?
i wish i had this video yesterday LOL
What about the steamy bathroom trick you were going to tell us about?
What do you think about the magic john protector
I’ve tried 9x now and I still can’t do this without getting dust under it or messing it up in some other way. I’ve tried everything. After trying the steam method, none of the screen protectors install without bubbles in the top right corner. Every single attempt some dust has been under, even though there was none before I applied. I almost had it perfect on my last one but then some dust appeared at the top edge, I wasn’t sure if it was under but some of it was, I removed the protector partially and then more and more dust appeared! I just applied another one and dust appeared, I removed the protector partially to get rid of it but now the protector is majorly misaligned somehow, it’s about 0.5mm to far to the left and lopsided. I really don’t know what to do, I’ve spent so much on screen protectors at this point 😢
Have you ever tried out the Nimble Sustain Glass Screen protector?
My best is Blackweb Glass brand from Walmart.
I don't understand why ANYONE would do it in a shower with STEAM and hot water running! What I do is go into the shower long after the shower is over because there is still water all around (floor, walls, ceiling), and all that water typically catches any dust flying around.
Worst screen protector is a warped screen protector.Tried everything to get it flat and just didn't work.Heat did not help or pressing flat.Need new ones that arrive flat.Any ideas to get a warped glass protector flat?
mine has specks of dust sandwiched between i don't want to remove it anymore because the dust keeps coming back
Meh why not save yourself all that hassle and get the spigen easy fit screen protector?? I’ve been using them for a number of years and have never ever had an issue with air bubbles or dust. Comes with a tray and so so easy to apply.
Not sure why anyone in their right minds would do it the old way 😂.
I need help! I noticed I had my dogs fur under my phone screen protector I tried taking it out, but it just ended getting a whole lot worse my entire screen protector came off my phone and now their is lint and dust everywhere. I am currently at work and I need to clean this screen protector when I head back home cause this is the 2nd spare screen protector that I had used and now I am going to have to purchase another new phone screen protector again if this doesn’t go well. 😰
Do you have an install instruction video for the screen protectors which use UV cured liquid glue?
Dust under a screen protector is the biggest trigger in the world for my OCD. The slightest speck of dust and the screen protector must be destroyed and a new one re-applied.
Is it worth getting the casetify screen protector?
Ever thought of trying android phones? Although one can expect same quality screen protectors for different phones from the same screen protector manufacturer they need to be tested, what this channel does!
Even then, the shape, weight & size of devices introduce enough variables to result in different protection performance for different phones from the same brand. Add different brands & you have a lifetime worth screen protectors to test & diversify the channel.
I could have used this video a couple years ago. I bought a Flolab protector as per your recommendation and I got stuck in that infinite step eleven trying to get rid of all the dust until the corner got bent. I reached out to them and they offered me a “free” replacement that I had to pay around $10 to get. I left the protector as it was until I realized 3 days into a Disney vacation that one of the dust bubbles were creating blurry spots on my front-facing camera pics. I trashed the screen protector and I’ve been going au naturel ever since.
I plan to get the flolab nano armor screen protector for my iPhone 14, but I also plan to use the otterbox case, is it a good idea to get the flolab considering it’s an edge to edge screen protector? I’m hesitant to use the flolab just because it might not fit well with the otterbox phone case
