TIPS on removing cracked tempered glass screen protector THEN replacing it (invisible shield liquid) 

You shouldn't use an Xacto knife to remove that because there's always the risk your hand will slip and you will gouge the screen. I've found a toothpick works great and you don't risk scratching your screen. Also, if you don't have access to a hair dryer to heat up the screen for a few seconds, place the phone face down in the palm of your hand and press down with your free hand just enough so that the entire screen comes into contact with your hand. Hold it like that for about 30 seconds and you should have no trouble starting the removal of the old tempered glass. I highly recommend starting at the opposite end to begin removal if your protector is cracked. Go slowly and slide the toothpick with gentle pressure. You'll see it begin to let go. Don't rush it and you'll be able to cleanly remove it. Don't panic if it starts to crack more. Just continue with slow, steady pressure. Once it starts coming off, you can grasp it between your thumb and forefinger and tug gently and watch it let go of the screen. The tempered glass is stuck to something like a laminate film that will help hold the shattered pieces together.

remove the old skin with a thin paper businness card, much easier and safe...

Thank you for this tutorial! Glad I had an exacto knife on hand, however I do think anything with a sharp edge would have worked to get underneath. Very thankful for the time you took to film and post this!

Thank you! This helped me remove and replace the cracked screen protector on my iPhone 12! By the way, I used a sharp box cutter frequently used to open boxes from Amazon instead of an Exacto knife. Worked perfectly!

Thanks! Very clear, easy to follow. Showing what you got a little bit wrong really helped me get it right.

Thanks for the clear demonstration. I have to do this for a friend, and your demo helps!

NO! Lay the glass in position and use the tape for hinges. I use Scotch tape too. Then hinge it open and remove the protective sheet. Drop the new glass back in position and it's done. Everything must be super clean, the smallest dust particle causes a bubble.

Tysm I thought I cracked my iPhone screen but thank god it was just the protector and now knowing that you can remove it makes me feel way more comfortable

To be honest I just did it with an x acto blade, didn’t scratch the screen at all. As long as you keep the blade mildly angle away from screen and move slowly. Good guide!

Thanks for showing that mistakes can be made. Too many just edit it out and make it look like a perfect installation the first time. Your video is a more "real-lifelike" experience than others. It shows what can happen and tells what you can do about it.

Thank you so much for this video, was really helpful...... I changed my screen protector myself for the first time and it went well. 😊

I was being careful with the x-acto, but no matter how careful, one wrong twist of the wrist puts a scratch where there was none before...much safer to use a fingernail!!!

Thank you! Respect from Romania your tutorial helped me replace the screen protector on my Huawei Y6 2019! :D

Thanks for good instructions, I’m going to order a 3 pack and attempt to do this.

That worked just as it should, thank you for the informational video.

You don’t need the razor. Just use your fingernails and to get under it and pull it off slowly. That’s how I’ve been doing it ever since I’ve owned an iPhone.

Great instructions! Even without the same tools, I could get great results. Your clear style, and the way you describe the reason for each step, those make a great presentation. Thanks!

I ended up grabbing a hair clip to lift up the corner. Once there was enough space I inserted a credit card and lifted it up all the way. An exacto knife is too risky for me.

Many Thanks! My screen protector was mad cracked but I was able to remove it in once piece😊

Awesome. Worked great. Thanks!

Thank you so much. This video helped.

always cut away. but you were very carefull. thanks.for the vid.

Thank-you for this video it was very helpful !!

Thanks a lot it really helped me, now I just need a new screen protector

You should use the 2 guide stickers to create a hinge like on a door or window, it will make applying the protector a lot easier.

Thanks. Was exactly what I needed

This was so helpful, thank you so much. I'm so terrible with these, hope I can align mines.

I used to place a sheet of package tape over the cracked glass protector then pick a side and peel of . but now I slip a sheet of paper between the screen and protector and slide it down the screen comes off clean. Thanks for info!

Wow! Thank you!

Thanks this helped !

Guys to save a little more time this is a safe way but all you have to do is slowly use your nail to life the glass protector from each corner until you see bubbles forming. AFTER you get each corner peeled off you pick your favourite corner and slowly start lifting the screen protector not putting any resistance or strength and it will slowly come off in about 15 seconds with nothing breaking and no glass falling anywhere.

Thanks for the tip for using the X-Acto knife. I was able to easily remove my old one and safely install the new one.

Thank you for sharing this process. Just completed a screen replacement. Successful thanks to your information.

really helpful thanks

Thank you!

Ty for this

Thanks Heaps

Came here to learn, stayed for the ASMR

i would be careful with that razor...scratching up the actual screen

Big things that are shipped palletized often have strapping around the outside; it’s often yellow, but there is some that’s white. Anyone who has tried to cut that stuff can tell you how tough it is, yet it’s incredibly thin. I don’t think I’ve seen any that was any more than about an inch wide. I don’t know where you would go to buy something like this, or what you would pay for it, but for something like this screen protector removal, it would be perfect. You can also cut or melt some strategically placed holes in it and mount it in a scraper blade or razor blade handle. My point is, it is considered trash and coming across some in a dumpster or in with other construction debris is quite common so next time you do, snatch some if you can, because I have found that for some tasks, where you need some thin, tough, non-conductive, non-scratching material, you just can’t beat this strapping, and you can get it for free, but you need it when you need it, and you find it when and where you find it, so grab some while you CAN so you can keep some handy. Just keep your eyes open as you go through your day, and let it be known through Facebook or Twitter or whatever you use that you’re looking for some. I’ll bet you have some in no time.

Thanks for an idea I love you thanks so much Omg I was trying to take it off so bad thank you I have. A iPhone 11 thanks I like your videos

Thanks sir I really appreciate it and very clean and useful instruction so keep uploading much video such as this on 🖐👍🙏

I had a few cracks and one was sticking up sharp and I kept cutting my hand on it so I decided to remove it. It didn’t go well. My whole screen protector cracked when I took it off. I had glass in my hands because I went to fast. I thought it would be satisfying

Very Good!

This was very helpful thanks I just fixed my broken screen luckily no deep cracks didn’t reach my phone (phew)

Thanks dude

Thank you!!!!

Thank you! Careful and slow use of fingernail and credit card worked.

Wonder if you can lift one side a little and pull a piece of floss under to separate it. 🤔 I have to replace mine soon. Will try that.

thanks!!!

Thanks

Thanks bro

I think it you put the carrying tabs on either side and not the top and bottom and stand up so you can see better it will be easier. Do you avoid covering the mike and speaker?

Well, a nice tool you got there. The problem is where/ how to get hold of that.

Tnx it worked

Best replacement video I seen.

Before installing the new protector you can out 1-2 drops pure ethyl alcohol. Then it is really easy to slip the new glass if it is not centered properly. But you need to wait minimum 30 minutes after the instalation.

Nice video i was nervous of lifting it and i was able to use an old gift card to bring it up without a knife. Worked out great and prevented extra cracking on mine.

I thought this would be difficult but honestly just used my finger nail and peeled slowly with no glass cracking anymore than it already was

Thanks it was actually so much easier than I expected to take off the screen protector (which I think is actually a bad thing) I thought I would have to put it in a garbage bag and chip it off or bend it as it explodes into little shards But it just lifted right up in one piece with some tweezers because a corner was already lifting since it was cracked diagonally Also unless you have a phone from 2010 don’t worry about scratching the screen with metal because apparently glass is amazing now a days and doesn’t even scratch from most metals thanks to watching jerry rig everything test the hardness Just try it on a little corner of the screen first and you’ll see it glides right off Even my razor sharp knife with really strong steel and needle point glides off

I would recommend lifting the glass from the opposite corner that isn’t damaged. Use your finger nail to get under there and then gently lift the whole thing off.

If you use a smaller phone case that wraps around the back, put it back on before placing the new glass to help guide its placement.

I just put my fingernail underneath and slowly peeled the screen protector off my iPhone 8. What's with the hobby knife and letting the protector fall right back down from where you just peeled it off?

My invisible Invisible First Defense Shield has been on my phone for 3 years now. It has a few minor scratches on it. Is it still good?

Thanks. Saved $40 doing it myself.

Thanks.

So the guide stickers are so you can place it on the phone that’s why it’s sticky you line it up then remove one side to take off the protectors piece for the sticky side then it won’t be uneven and mine came with instructions on how to place the application stickers as well and you wanna put them on the sides to you can see the mic and camera and such

3:42 my guy you can make the wet wipes bigger u know

My screen protector is broken so this pretty much helps

I just put on a screen protector that cracked whilst peeling the back off...now I can't tell the difference of my actual cracked phone screen and the glass...does it still protect my phone from preventing the cracks getting worse? Or does the cracked tempered lost its effect?

Couldnt you put packing tape on the surface so if it cracks more, the shards are contained?

I have UV lamp. Should I use that to loosen the glue?

do not watch this while high

I found finger nails worked well and quickly, also no chance of scratching.

Nice video

*Who else thought it was going to be satisfying 😂*

Would heating the front help loosen the glue?

Correct title for this video: “HOW NOT TO REMOVE A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR”

I put some clear packing tape on screen before starting to remove it so if it does crack it just stays stuck to the tape, and can even pull lightly on the tape to help lift the screen off

Great I wish I had an exacto knife since a kitchen knife would prolly b a bed idea lol

Seen all the hate comments, im sending love! But i do agree with them xx no hate

i like how he uses a sharp knife and risks scratching the actual screen..

How do you discard the used glass?

windex works for that sticky resude, maybe. I used it to remove a dumb sticker on the back of my oneplus nord

So what tool you're using?

What if the screen underneath is cracked? Can you still peel of the cover glass without doing futher damage to the screen?

Guitar pick works well

Placement stickers was done in a way that make's it easy to screw up unfortunately. Hinge method is the best.

Nice

ASMR: Awesome Synchronized Metallic Rats? Missed them.

How about using a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive?

I can’t tell if it’s my screen protector or iPhone I’m scared to take it off 😱

What actually cleans the screen as I don't have the wipes. Is it alcohol or adhesive remover?

I didn’t need an x acto blade. I just peeled the screen off with no problems.

Using a debit card worked perfect for me 👍🏻

After properly cleaning the phone's screen, using the sticker strips as temporary "hinges" is the best way to exactly position the screen protector. Place the sticker strips onto the screen protector evenly spaced and halfway onto the screen protector along the long edge. Position the screen protector onto the phone without removing the plastic film and slide it in the correct position. Now simply wrap the sticker strips around the side and back of the phone. Place another sticker strip on the other side of the screen protector to act as a tab you can hold while lifting and lowering the screen protector. You can now lift the screen protector up and remove the plastic film. Slowly lay the screen protector down, the tape "hinges" will guide the screen protector to the exact same place it was in with the film on it. Lightly swipe the screen protector from top to bottom and it will magically draw tight to the phones screen.

A guitar pick works awesome for any musicians out there!

Just use dental floss to get the old protector off. Slides right through with no damage or scratch/cut risk.

using thin plastick is recommended

I have a question im sure someone on the planet has asked already..but why does the screen protector have an edge? Shouldn't it cover the whole front of the phone and not leave a tiny gap where your screen is and can potentially stil get damaged
