iPhone Screen Protector

kychen38 · Apr 17, 2014

Hi guys,
Recently something got under my screen protector and when I tried to lift the protector up to remove the dirt, it got worse. So I am asking if anyone knows how to clean it or does anyone know a good brand? My current one is an anti-glare one and when applied the screen clarity kind of goes away. I got the phone about 2 years ago and when I removed the protector, I just realized how clear everything is, lol. I don't need an anti-glare one, but I want one that doesn't make the screen unclear.

Thanks!

Assuming you have an iPhone 5 get these:
Tech Armor Apple iPhone 5/5c/5s Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint (Matte) Screen Protectors [3Pack] Lifetime Warranty http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008THTK52/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_xujutb067VQ3M

If something happens you can ask for replacements from tech armor. Also to remove dust just use tape.

There are many brands out there but I've used these since the IP4 and I love them. http://www.spigen.com/brands/apple/iphone/iphone-5s/iphone-5-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html

If you just want a screen protector without losing any clarity at all go with the crystal series. You'll never notice its even on.

Here's another brand that's highly recommended. Excellent quality also. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B1XY0W?psc=1

Tape usually works for me but, just as when you're applying the screen protector, you need to ensure that you're in a relatively dust free environment or else you run the risk of making it worse as you've discovered.

The best, IMO, is Zagg's Invisible Shield. I have it on my iPad and Android tablet as well, and they've never failed.

Since I haven't been in your situation, I don't know how to clean it. But I do know a good brand. I have been using Gearmaxx screen protectors for quite a while now and I'm really happy with it. I use their screen protectors on my phone, ipod and camera and its quality has really impressed me. you can buy an ultra clear one, that won't affect your screen's clarity. and they even ship for free. you should definitely give it a try.

Screen protectors are cheap... I would just get a new one. And don't get Zagg, they are really really overpriced. I would recommend tech armor or amfilm or one of those main ones on the amazon homepage. Just read some of the reviews, and decide which one you think would work best for you.

I cant remember which one I have... i think it is tech armor.

Slide a piece of tape under there sticky side up so that it can adhere to the dust. Then just pull it out.

Tech armor has been great to me with getting replacements every few months. I just ask and they send.
