Thinking about getting a screen protector installed at Best Buy but...

[DevinNj]

I watched the guy at Best Buy install a screen protector on a lady’s iPhone and he was really going to town pressing with the squeegee. The lady even asked if that’s gonna damage her phone. He said no, but I was leery about it myself. Can that cause any damage, or is that how it’s done? I usually do them myself at home, but have gift cards for BB and thought maybe I’ll have them do it but I really don’t want my phone jacked up.

If in doubt trust no one better then yourself.

ive installed zags invisible shield on my 11 pro and it was super easy. I've done it twice, cause i had to replace it. the plastic guide it comes with is suuuuper helpful.

Agree completely. Also, if you install after a hot shower, you likely won’t get any dust or particles under the screen protector.

I would totally pass on letting a Best Buy counter jockey even touch my phone let alone have them put a screen protector on it. You would be better off doing it yourself.

Get one with a install frame, worked perfect for me.

Thanks everyone for your input, I always have done them myself. My original question is with the amount of pressure the guy was using would that damage the phone or not. As I had stated I have credit through BB and I had actually though about having them do it until I saw how much force he was using to apply it.

Unlikely, but not worth the risk.

If it were an Apple store employee I wouldn't care - if they broke your phone while doing it they could take care of you. Best Buy likely wouldn't do squat, and almost certainly claim your phone was already broken.
