Motorola Moto G6 - Apply screen protector
Apply screen protector for the Motorola Moto G6
Applying a screen protector can be tricky, but with the right technique, you can achieve a clean and neat result. Whether you’re using a plastic or glass screen protector, following these steps will help you apply it with minimal issues. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly straight or if there’s a tiny bubble—this is normal and can often be corrected.
Preparing your smartphone for a screen protector
Before applying the screen protector, thoroughly clean your smartphone screen to ensure a smooth application:
- Use a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges.
- Clean the screen with a screen cleaning wipe or a small amount of alcohol solution on a microfiber cloth to eliminate dirt and oils.
- Ensure the screen is completely dry before proceeding.
- Apply the screen protector in a dust-free environment to minimize the risk of dust particles getting trapped. A bathroom after a hot shower works well as the steam reduces dust in the air.
- Proper preparation ensures the screen protector adheres properly without air bubbles or dust.
Applying a plastic screen protector
- Peel back a small section of the protective film on the screen protector.
- Align the protector with your screen, ensuring cutouts for the camera, speaker, and buttons are in the right places.
- Slowly peel off the rest of the protective film while pressing the protector onto the screen.
- Use a card or the included squeegee to press out any air bubbles, working from the center outward.
- Plastic screen protectors are flexible and can be adjusted if needed, but they may scratch more easily over time.
Applying a glass screen protector
- Remove the backing from the glass screen protector.
- Align the protector carefully with the edges of your screen, making sure the cutouts match the camera and buttons.
- Once aligned, lower the protector onto the screen and let the adhesive bond naturally.
- Press the center of the protector gently to ensure it adheres evenly, and push out any air bubbles toward the edges.
- Glass protectors are easier to apply and offer better durability compared to plastic ones.
