How to Remove a Screen Protector Without Air Bubbles?
Removing a screen protector may seem simple, but if not done properly, it can lead to screen damage or adhesive residue. Here are the steps and precautions:
- Using a Plastic Card
To remove the screen protector, first prepare a plastic card (such as a credit card or an old ID card) and a clean cloth. Work in a dry, warm environment, avoiding damp or cold conditions, which can cause the protector to stick more tightly. Next, locate a loose corner of the screen protector, gently lift it with your fingernail or the plastic card, and avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the screen. Once you have lifted the corner, you can slowly peel off the protector while maintaining even pressure to avoid static that could tear the screen protector.
- Using Alcohol
Spray Alcohol: Spray a little alcohol-based cleaner around the edges of the protector to help loosen the adhesive.
Wait a Moment: Let the alcohol work for a few minutes, then gently lift the corner and start to peel it off.
- Using a Hair Dryer
Set to Low Heat: Turn the hair dryer to a low setting and keep it at a safe distance.
Heat the Protector: Blow warm air towards the edges of the protector, being careful not to overheat, as this could damage the screen.
Easily Remove: After heating, use your fingernail or the plastic card to gently lift the corner and slowly peel off the protector.

Align: Pick up the new screen protector, making sure not to touch the adhesive side, and align it with the top of the phone screen.
