Scratches and cracks on the glass of the iPhone can appear completely at any time. But this can be avoided.
Scratches will appear sooner or later, even the cover will not save. The back panel will not stand everything in the world, scratches cannot be avoided. It is enough to place the smartphone on a dirty, uneven, rough surface, and spoiled appearance is provided.
Agree, not everyone wants to use a device that looks like a brick. Everything scratched, unpleasant to the touch, and so on.
or so (even worse) ...
And no one is protected from a smartphone falling to the floor. Lift it up and see that a "cobweb" has spread all over the screen or the back of the flagship.
Real photo
You will have to change the screen or the back panel. It costs a lot of money, especially in the case of - up to 35,000 rubles for just one screen. And about 7,000 rubles for a broken back panel. That's about 42,000 rubles if your iPhone X cracks on both sides.
Is protective glass the solution?
Consider the option with protection screen :
First, it becomes completely closed... Hence the obvious plus - no scratches will appear on it.
Secondly, very strong glasses have now appeared. Therefore, do not worry that you drop your iPhone and it shatters to smithereens. In 80% of cases, glass will protect.
Thirdly, there are glass options when the thickness of the device practically does not change. You won't notice the difference.
Consider a protection option back panel :
Despite the high quality of the materials used in the manufacture of modern gadgets, it becomes necessary to protect them from shock, falls or moisture. This is very important for users of the IPhone line. After all, everyone knows that Apple products are expensive, they need care, no one wants to accidentally destroy, for example, two monthly salaries in a few seconds.
Fortunately, manufacturers have taken great care to create accessories that keep devices safe. So, to protect the screen, special films or protective glasses are provided. The latter, in turn, are presented to the buyer with different thickness parameters.
How to stick protective glass on iPhone?
Of course, you can stick on the protective glass directly in the store when you buy it. However, this is not always convenient, and some stores provide such services for a fee. Although it is small, you can still do this work yourself:
- First you need to remove the cover from the smartphone (if any);
- If there is an old screen protector, it should be removed;
Open packaging with new glass. Usually wipes are supplied with the device. One for degreasing, it contains alcohol, and the other for removing dust from the display;
- Use an alcohol-containing cloth to wipe the screen;
- Second, remove streaks and dust;
- Take the glass out of the packaging and remove the sticker from it.
- Align the glass at a distance using the button and speaker;
- Gently lower the glass onto the display.
If after this procedure air remains under the glass, it can be removed with a plastic spatula. However, if there are microscopic bubbles, you should not worry, they will come out on their own after a while.
If dust has got under the glass, then you need to bend the glass from the side of the damaged area and carefully remove the dust with adhesive tape. Then again you need to press everything back. If this is the first time you do this and you are unable to do it, then you should not worry, the procedure takes practice, even if the first pancake does not despair.
In general, this work takes several minutes. However, the result of such efforts fully justifies itself. With glued protective glass on your iPhone, you don't have to worry about scratching or chipping your screen.
How to apply protective glass to your iPhone screen
A smartphone is an expensive thing. Even purchasing a budget class device from 5 to 15 thousand rubles, we want it to serve for a long time and faithfully. The fidelity of a gadget, in turn, depends on two parameters: internal and external. And if we cannot influence the first (represented by the hardware part), then we are just able to overcome external factors. We can protect our smartphone, if not from drowning, then from mechanical stress, for sure. And the glass on the phone will help us with this. How to glue it? We will talk about this today.
What is protective glass for?
It is difficult to disagree with the fact that prolonged use of any smartphone does not imply the appearance of chips, cracks, scratches, scuffs. This fate is characteristic not only of the side faces, top and bottom ends and the back panel, but also of the front part. And there is perhaps the most important element - the smartphone screen. Protective glasses were invented precisely to protect the display of the device. You can also use a film, but it has a lower protection factor. In any case, it is important to know how to properly glue protective glasses to your phone.
What is it
The appearance of the protective glass is similar to the exterior of the film. Indeed, the tasks of these two elements are similar to each other. However, it is rightfully considered to be a more reliable component, since it has a higher density compared to film. In addition, it is transparent and flexible, and this also has a certain importance. Of course, it will cost more than film. However, it is worth it, especially in cases where there is either a high probability of mechanical impact, or when the gadget is really expensive. For everyone, this bar is different, but most users prefer to buy glasses if their devices cost more than 10-15 thousand rubles. When buying, the user reduces the likelihood of damage to the main screen to almost zero, since the above-described component will take the whole blow. Before talking about how to glue on the phone, I would like to focus on the advantages of the element.
Functions and useful properties
There is not much to say about the functions of the protective glass. From its name it is clear why it was developed and what it is intended for. Whether it's the features that you can talk about for hours. Their list, for example, includes resistance to scratches and other similar damage. Someone may doubt this parameter, but usually all doubts disappear after an indicative test. You can use ordinary keys for this. Run the sharp edges over the glass and you will see that it really does not cover with marks.
The second useful property of safety glass is shock absorption. We have already mentioned this briefly above. A large number of smartphones, when dropped down by the surface of the screen, receive physical damage, up to the complete breaking of the display. With a protective glass, this problem will be solved, because instead of the screen it will break. By the way, the word “will break” here should also be understood a little differently from its usual meaning. Fragments from the phone protective glass do not fly to the sides. Finally, we can note the fact that the glass is held very, very reliably. Especially if we compare it with a simplified element - film. Users who so often ask questions about how to properly glue glass to their phone may be delighted to learn that this operation does not require any special experience.
Considering the complete set
A very large number of requests are related precisely to how to glue the film (glass) on the iPhone 6 phone. However, it should be understood that the process is, in general, the same for other devices. Why then dwell on specific models if you can describe the operation universally? First of all, let's see what is in the packaging with the protective glass? Different manufacturers offer different configurations, but usually there is glass itself, an alcohol wipe and a cloth made of special material. If there are no rags or napkins, then you can use improvised counterparts, this is not essential.
Glass on the phone: how to glue? Preparing the surface
If you have previously installed film or glass, these components will need to be removed. To do this, remove the cover, if there is one, then hook the element over the edge. To prevent the appearance of greasy stains on the glass, you should thoroughly wash your hands and dry them in advance. By the way, preparation of the workplace remains an important step. You need a flat horizontal surface and powerful lighting. This could be, for example, a table. Lighting will help avoid undetected streaks and dusty areas. So what does it take to integrate glass on your phone? How to glue it? The operation will be correct only if the “naked” screen is processed in advance.
Why do you need cleaning
To clean the screen, freed from film or glass, you need to use a damp disc or an alcohol wipe soaked in alcohol. Wipe the screen thoroughly so that no dirt remains on it. After that, you should wipe it with a special cloth, if it is included in the kit. If it is not there, then you need to find an analogue. Now it's time to put the glass on your phone. How to glue? Let's find out further.
The most important stage
There is a special film on the adhesive side of the glass. It needs to be removed. After that, we apply the glass itself to the screen. Care should be taken to ensure that it is aligned with the edges of the device, aligned with the speaker and controls. By the way, you need to remember that you can only hold the protective glass by the edges. Only in this case there will be no traces after the operation. When the fit is complete, simply lower the component onto the screen. The glass will stick itself. Great, now we know how to glue glass to your phone.
Are there any downsides
Yes, like other elements, protective glass has some disadvantages. Some users who are interested in the topic may think that the main drawback is the indicative complexity of the integration process. Like, if it is wrong to stick it on the first time, then you will not do anything. In fact, this is not what we are talking about now. The main disadvantage of this component is the fact that the device on which you will glue it will become more voluminous and heavy. However, if this does not bother you, and you are not very sensitive to the weight and dimensions of the phone, but you want to protect it, then you can contact the cell phone stores. There they will offer not only the best products, but for additional money they will be able to stick the glass with high quality.
Pitfalls and tricks
Most users are afraid of air bubbles. Rather, they will remain. Few can boast that they glue the protective glass neatly the first time, and there are no bubbles. However, they can be easily dealt with with a dry cloth. The procedure is terribly simple: just squeeze the bubbles from the center to the periphery. The ability to glue protective glasses will save money, which is charged for this procedure in cellular salons.
Prices
Nowadays, protective glasses are quite important and common accessories. Therefore, a large number of companies are engaged in their production. The budget options are mainly represented by Chinese firms, which might be expected. However, they are not that bad. Glasses of different brands differ from each other only by the degree of tempering. However, one should not think that glass from a Chinese company will not provide the required degree of protection. Now, after we have learned how to glue tempered glass on a phone, we can move from words to deeds.
Ever since the days of plastic phones, resistive films have been a screen protector. They protected the display from scratches, but if dropped, the sensor can be damaged. In addition, the film impairs the view, and on the touch screen it also slows down the movement of the finger. The development of technology has led to the emergence of an oleophobic coating, from which protective glasses are made. How effective are they really?
Tempered glass is a coating that has been chemically treated. It is several times superior to film. The surface hardness is 2-3 times that of the film. Its thickness is 0.26 mm, 0.33 mm, even 0.5 mm. Such a layer is not visible to the eye; it is difficult to feel it with your fingers, but it does not interfere with using the device. A clear image is transmitted through the transparent protective glass on the phone. A finger glides easily on a smooth surface.
The glass has a five-layer structure:
- silicone base that fixes the glass on the display;
- a restraining layer that holds back the broken screen;
- anti-glare layer that prevents tarnishing in bright light;
- a protective layer responsible for the absence of damage;
- oleophobic coating that protects the screen from grease stains, fingerprints and moisture.
The manufacturing process consists in heating the surface to a high temperature and etching in reagents. As a result, the structure of the glass changes, increasing mechanical strength and hardness. Despite all these advantages, protective glass has one serious drawback. Increased stability reduces the ability to withstand butt blows. The screen will withstand being dropped flat on the asphalt, but may crack when struck from an angle. Even in the event of such a blow, the touchscreen still remains intact.
Each new generation of flagships is equipped with oleophobic coating. However, the protective glass on the phone provides protection from scratches and scuffs. And even for that, it's worth using.
How to choose and glue a protective glass on your phone - tips
Before sticking the protective glass on the phone, you should choose the right glass based on the screen parameters. Let's consider them in more detail.
OGS displays with 2.5D touchscreen
OGS is a touch screen that adheres tightly to the module with transparent glue. 2.5D is a type of touchscreen without the usual edges, that is, with polished chamfers. These screens were used by Apple in the iPhone. Since the sensor smoothly transitions into the frame, it is impossible to glue the glass. It will hang over the edges, creating an air gap, or leave the edges unprotected.
The behavior of glass on such an apparatus depends on its quality and impact characteristics. When dropped from a great height with the sensor down, low-quality glass will burst without affecting the touchscreen. But high quality glass will remain intact, but the sensor may be damaged. Adjacent to the screen, the glass is more durable than the touchscreen. But high rigidity does not allow shock absorption.
OGS displays without 2.5D
Such sensors do not have polished edges. Glass will cover the edges of the sensor. In the event of a fall or side impact, the display is less likely to be damaged. Therefore, protective glass must be glued to such screens.
On such displays, the sensor and the matrix are connected along the perimeter, and between the surface there is a layer of air of 0.1-1 mm. On impact, such a structure flexes faster. Therefore, a protective glass should be glued to the screen. Considering that such displays are installed on budget models, the smooth surface will also enhance the sliding of your finger across the screen.
Before sticking the protective glass on the phone, you should prepare a napkin, alcohol, medical gloves, a silicone suction cup (if any).
They usually come with glass. Otherwise, all parts will have to be purchased separately.
Sticking should be done in a well-lit room, since in the event of a dust particle it will not be possible to separate the screen. Therefore, you should study in advance how to properly stick the protective glass on your smartphone:
- 1. Degrease the screen. Putting on gloves, moistening a napkin with alcohol, wipe the screen from streaks.
- 2. Handle the screen with your fingers by the edges. The sticky layer must remain intact. Otherwise, the reliability of adhesion will deteriorate. The ideal option is to grip the glass with a suction cup.
- 3. Remove the protective film from the bottom side. We keep the glass at a distance of 5-10 cm from the screen so that dust does not stick.
- 4. Slowly bring the glass to the screen. As soon as it begins to grasp, we draw a napkin in the middle (from the speaker to the buttons).
- 5. As soon as the center sticks, blow out the air by drawing a napkin from the middle line to the edges.
- 6. When the glass is fully glued, you can remove the top film.
The first time, it will not work to properly glue the protective glass on the smartphone. In case of dust ingress, peel off the edge from the corner closest to the bubble with a bank card. A gap of a couple of millimeters is enough to pull out the dust with tweezers or blow it out.
How to stick a protective glass on an iPhone
You can properly glue the protective glass on an Apple smartphone just like on any other phone. First, you should disinfect your hands so that no dust remains on the film. Then you should put the glass on the device, try on the boundaries. Then remove the glass and wipe the screen with a napkin and a damp cloth. Remove the protective film and lower the glass to the screen so that all the cutouts match exactly. Smooth the surface from the center to the edges with a napkin to remove bubbles and dust. The whole process takes 10 minutes.
However, not everyone succeeds in gluing the glass perfectly the first time. Air bubbles usually remain. To get rid of them, it is enough to attach a dry cloth to the place and push the air out.
How to properly glue the original glass
Before sticking the protective glass on the phone, you need to remove the old one.
Due to the difference in weight, glass is harder to remove than film. It is tightly connected to the touchscreen, but not through glue, but through electrostatic properties. Do not dismantle the glass with sharp metal objects. They can damage the screen, the silicone suction cup can tear off the cables.
If dismantling is carried out due to improper installation, then the easiest way is to remove the glass using a tab at the top of the glass. An old surface can be removed by prying the edges with a credit card and gently pulling back on the surface with your hands or a suction cup. Broken glass should be removed piece by piece, starting with the largest piece.
During the installation process, it is easier to hold the new glass using a silicone suction cup. If you don't have one at hand, you can use regular tape. It is attached to the edges of the glass screen protector.
Today most of the safety glasses are produced with cut edges. Such 2.5D sensors completely adhere to the screen. But due to the smaller size, they do not cover the entire visible area of \u200b\u200bthe display. It is easier to eliminate flaws during the installation process. It is enough to hook the edge of the glass with a bank card.
Original glasses are produced as close as possible to the screen size. They cover the entire display. But there are always non-glued edges, which are noticeable when the display is off.
Full Cover glass with painted frames around the display is made especially for Apple iPhone. The glass is glued to the screen, completely repeating the shape of the smartphone.
Full Cover glass is also available for popular items on Android. It is glued around the perimeter and adheres to the edge. This affects the responsiveness of the display, dust quickly gets under it.
Service life and operation
The life of the protective glass depends on how you use your phone. If the device is constantly kept together with sharp objects. for example, in a bag next to the keys, the screen is quickly scratched. This will not render it unusable, but the aesthetic appearance will be compromised.
Small particles and metal dust can not only clog ports on the case, but also get under the glass. Dust and dirt accumulate under unadhesive edges. These particles can scratch the display itself.
In general, if you store your smartphone in a closed case, the glass will last for several years, ensuring not only the safety of the gadget, but its aesthetic appearance.
