Screen Protector Install Guide

The Ion Glass kit ships with an auto-alignment tray, so the glass lands straight and sealed from dust. The whole install takes about three minutes.

What's in the box

  • 2 × 9H tempered glass
  • 1 × auto-alignment tray with pull tab
  • 1 × alcohol wipe
  • 1 × microfibre cloth
  • 1 × dust-removal sticker

Before you start

  1. Power off and wipe. Switch the phone off and close it. Clean the cover screen with the alcohol wipe, then dry it with the microfibre cloth in one direction.
  2. Lift every speck. Dab the whole screen with the dust-removal sticker. One speck of lint is one bubble.
  3. Pick a still room. Work on a flat table away from fans and open windows.

The four steps

1. Seat the phone in the tray

Lowering the alignment tray over a closed Galaxy Z Fold

Lay the closed phone cover-screen up and lower the tray over it. The frame only fits one way: the TOP marking sits at the camera end and the orange tab hangs off the bottom edge.

2. Slowly pull the orange tab

Pulling the orange release tab out of the tray

Hold the tray down with one hand. With the other, pull the orange tab straight out in one slow, steady motion. As the release film comes away, the glass lays itself onto the screen.

3. Press at the tail to push out the air

Pressing the tail end of the tray to push out the air

Press firmly on the tail end of the tray, where the tab came out, then sweep your finger along the glass towards the camera end. The air escapes through the vents and the adhesive bonds as you go.

4. Lift the tray. Done.

Lifting the tray, leaving the glass fitted on the cover screen

Lift the tray straight up. The glass stays on the screen, perfectly centred. Give it one wipe with the microfibre cloth and you are finished. Any faint haze at the edges clears by itself within 24 hours.

Troubleshooting

There's a bubble. Press it from the centre towards the nearest edge with the microfibre cloth. Tiny bubbles clear within 24 hours. If a speck of dust is trapped, lift the nearest corner with the dust-removal sticker, dab the speck away and press the glass back down.

The glass isn't straight. Lift it off by a corner straight away, re-seat the phone in the tray with the TOP marking at the camera end, and repeat the steps with the second glass.

Inner screen? No. This kit is for the outer cover screen only. Never put tempered glass on the inner folding display.
