What precautions should be followed?

Before changing the protective glass from an iPhone, you need to take into account that the surface of the touch screen of the gadget is almost perfectly smooth. Therefore, the protective glass is attached to it quite thoroughly. Most often it is supported by electrical forces, sometimes by adhesive. The surfaces touch so tightly that removing the glass by prying it with the tip of the nail is simply unrealistic. If you use a knife blade, then there is a high probability of damage to the screen and the case of the smartphone.

Silicone suction cup is also ineffective. If the protective surface is badly damaged, then there is no vacuum under it, and the suction cup simply disappears. With good adhesion of glass to the suction cup, problems are also more than enough. The sensor is attached to the case with fragile duct tape, and if you do not calculate your own forces, you can damage the cables and completely disrupt the screen module. That is why deliberate careful actions strictly in accordance with the algorithm are mandatory.

Important! If you suddenly decided to replace glass with a more budgetary film and it didn’t work out well for you to fix it the first time, you don’t have to buy a new one. To solve this problem, our publication will help you "How to remove bubbles from the film?".
