This worked extremely well for me! Thank you. I've had this protector installed for only a few months, so I didn't need any hair dryer or heat gun to soften the protector adhesive. I just used my fingernail to lift the protector at a corner just enough to get a plastic pry tool underneath it. The packaging tape ensured that no shards of glass went flying. To those trying this method, make sure that you slowly slide your pry tool around underneath the glass. Let the glass lift off of the screen section-by-section instead of forcing your tools to quickly pry it off.
A guitar pick will work wonders when removing these protectors, then use a business card to fully remove it. Nice use of sticky tape especially if the protector has been on the phone a while! 👍
The tip using the packing tape is brilliant! Very smart! For the price you paid you shouldn't of had to wait months for a replacement (ridiculous) and the $10 shipping fee should've been waved. I think it's a good protector but the Armour suit protector looked pretty dang good too and at a way better price point. 💕
Hey, hope you read these. I have an S21 Ultra with the Whitestone dome glass and have tried just about everything to remove it including your tips and using a hair drier. I've had my protector on for several years and it is REALLY stuck. It only comes off in small shards, even with the tape, and now I have about 85% of the screen that won't even chip off. Any ideas? Thanks so much.
I had bought a kit to replace the glass that covers the camera on the Note 20. Here is an affiliate link that has the pry tool for your reference amzn.to/3UIINvp. Look around Amazon there are a variety of kits
I've used Whitestone Dome screen protectors for my previous two phones. I just upgraded to the Galaxy s22+ and when the screen protector arrived in the mail it didn't have the protective film on it and the sticker was placed directly on the glass. This caused an imprint of where the sticker was when I installed the screen protector. I went to their site and filed a warranty claim and now I'm waiting for it to process (they've already charged me $10 for shipping). I'm really hoping it doesn't take months to get my replacement screen protector.
First, in my case it did not come off cleanly. After a year with this glass on my S21 Ultra, I finally cracked it. Upon trying to remove it, I had one area that just refused to let go. I finally poured some isopropyl alcohol under the edge to try to loosen the bond. That didn't really seem to work. I ended up pulling up the rest of the glass, and then carefully working at the stubborn piece with a razor blade. It flaked off in pieces, and I was left with a lot of glue bits all over the screen. The glue was probably from the alcohol, and it cleaned up pretty easily with a couple alcohol wipes. Another thing I'd like to note: When you order a Whitestone Dome screen protector, it comes with two glass protectors, and I thought I saw, somewhere, the website said to save your application jig and light, because the warranty replacement will only come with the glass and glue, although all I can find now is that the light is not included. I've only just done the warranty claim, so I don't know exactly how it will come. Either way, I'd say to request the warranty replacement when the first glass breaks, even if it's during install, then you have another good one to replace the old one, and the replacement will be a new backup. And save your jig and light. Also, the price of the shipping is currently $14.99.
Okay, so an update - after installing the second screen, curing it, and then realizing it wasn't adhered to the side, by the power and volume buttons, I removed the second screen. It was coming off cleanly, until it came to the areas where it gets most of the wear from swiping up and down, and the fingerprint reader. The loss of the oleophobic coating in those areas was actually what first made me decide to use a screen protector. I think that's what made the first one stick in one place - no coating left.
And another thing - I decided to try cleaning the adhesive off the new glass I had just removed, after messing it up. Spent some time with some acetone, and then alcohol, got it all clean up, and tried again with a half tube of adhesive (that's another story), and after some wiggling around, to get it to spread to the far corners, it worked. I was sure I'd have to scrap the new glass, but figured I might as well give it a shot. I was surprised I was able to recover it.
If you want to remove without breaking possibly for reapplying glue on none damaged screen just use hair dryer for 3 to 5 min and it will remove it with cracking
I'm starting to see a few adhesive cracks and bubbles under the glass protector near the upper left corner. Pretty $#@&&@ when I installed it perfectly only 3 weeks ago.
That is pretty frustrating. My replacement one recently cracked so I'll have to start the warranty all over again. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u it's not too noticable but I know it'll get worse. It's too bad because besides that it's a beautiful screen protector. Definitely the fanciest protector I've used.
You need to reference this video on the one showing how to install. It would have answered some of my questions. Just pure luck I saw this one in your video list. And I am not buying this product. Even if those film ones start to peel on the edge, they are cheap and easy to replace. If I pay 8 bucks and yours cost you 60....well that seems like a no brainer and far easier to deal with (You might want to invest in some of the tools you use when working with vinyl on your car, I am really surprised how often my little set of cheap tools come in handy for things they were not intended for.
Use a hair dryer on the warm setting (briefly) this should help release the adhesive. Just be careful not to use the hot setting and only use if for a few seconds at a time.

Would using floss to remove the glass work?

Considering putting this on my S22 Ultra and was worried about what to do if I need to replace it so thanks. Liked and subscribed.
I appreciate the support and glad it helped. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

The tip comes from experience lol...no need for glass to go flying. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Paying for shipping on glass screen that broke because of accident that shipping is fine but the 3 months wait time is not cool at all

Where did you buy the pry tool and what is it called?

I hope yours gets to you sooner than I received mine. I opted for the armorsuit for my S22 Ultra... th-cam.com/video/YT7_9I6GdwU/w-d-xo.html

I am struggling so bad with this the middle of mine feels like its welded to the screen nothing can get under it!

I'll never buy one of these again
