Step 1: Look at the bubble
- If it is a clear bubble with no dot, it is usually trapped air.
- If it has a tiny dot in the middle, that dot is dust.
Step 2: Decide what to do
- Small clear bubbles: wait 24–48 hours. They often shrink on their own.
- Big bubbles, edge bubbles, or any bubble with a dot: fix it now by lifting and reseating.
Step 3: Get your tools
Grab these from the kit:
- Cleaning cloth
- Dust removal sticker
- Installation tray (optional, but helpful for alignment)
Step 4: Fix a clear air bubble (no lifting needed)
- Wrap your finger in the cleaning cloth.
- Press in the center of the bubble.
- Push the air toward the nearest edge in one slow motion.
- Hold pressure for 10 seconds, then let go.
- Repeat 2–3 times.
Step 5: Fix a bubble with dust (lift and reseat)
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Turn off any fan near you. Dust floating around makes it worse.
- Lift the corner closest to the bubble very slowly. Only lift enough to reach the dusty spot.
- Use the dust removal sticker to tap the dust off the phone screen.
- If the protector’s sticky side picked up dust, tap that spot lightly with the dust sticker too.
- Lower the protector back down slowly.
- Press the center, then press outward to push air out.
Step 6: If the edge keeps lifting
- Remove the phone case and check if it is pushing on the protector.
- Press and hold the lifting edge for 30 seconds.
- If it still lifts, lift that edge slightly, remove dust with the dust sticker, and reseat.
Step 7: Final check
- Wipe the screen with the cloth.
- Look under a bright light.
- If the bubble is shrinking, you are done.
Important: What not to do
- Do not put water or soap under the protector.
- Do not peel it off and reapply repeatedly.
- Do not press hard with a card or a tool.
