What is safety glass
The main function of protective glass is that it protects the fragile screen from various mechanical damages. The glass is flexible enough to absorb direct impacts. Phone protective glass is chemically treated and tempered, so it protects the screen from chips, cracks and scratches much better than a protective film. Glass is superior to film, primarily in thickness and hardness. For example, there are glasses with a thickness of 0.5 millimeters. According to the Mohs scale, the hardness value of protective glass is 9 H.
The Mohs scale includes 10 reference materials from talc to diamond to determine the hardness of a material. Thus, 9 H (Hardness) means that protective glass On the phone, the hardness is very close to the most indestructible mineral.
The protective glass can be easily scratched with a knife or keys; such mechanical action will not leave any traces. Even from a direct blow with a heavy object, such as a hammer, the glass will not shatter into pieces, but will only become covered with cracks. In this case, the phone itself will remain intact.
The protective glass has a five-layer structure:
- silicone base
- containment layer
- anti-glare layer
- protective layer
- oleophobic coating
The glass installed on the phone does not affect color rendering and does not interfere with the conduction of electrostatic impulses from the fingers to the screen. However, it is worth considering that after installing the glass, the phone may gain a little weight.
The issue price for protective glass ranges from 500 to 3000 rubles, depending on the manufacturer.
In order to stick a protective glass on your phone, you will need:
- Wet wipe
- Dry cloth
- Screen cleaning liquid
- Scotch
- Glass
Stage 1: Preparing the work surface
Before you stick the screen protector on your phone, it is important to clean work surface table. Before doing this, wash your hands with soap and dry. The table must be thoroughly wiped, as the smallest dust caught between the glass and the screen will negate all efforts. It is also advisable to set good lighting so as not to miss stains or specks of dust.

All Fly phone models can be found in our online store.
Step 2: Clear the screen
After the table is prepared, you need to clean the phone screen itself from grease stains and dust. To do this, you can take a regular napkin and moisten it in a special liquid for displays and monitors. Or take a special damp cloth, wipe the screen thoroughly, and then walk over the screen with a dry cloth. Dust can also be removed regular tape. After applying the adhesive tape, the screen also needs to be thoroughly wiped.
Stage 3: Installing glass
Now you can glue the protection. The glass must be removed from the packaging and the film carefully removed from it. Holding the glass by the edges, you should accurately fit it to the phone screen. Then lower the glass and press it lightly with a dry cloth.
Step 4: Removing Bubbles and Dust
Even if you glue the protective glass onto your phone evenly, it is not always possible to avoid small “jambs”. For example, small air bubbles may form between the glass and the screen. In this case, use a dry cloth to press the screen towards the edges to remove any bubbles. If, despite all cleaning efforts, dust still gets under the glass, carefully bend the edge of the glass and remove the dust with tape or a special dust collector.

Now you know how to apply protective glass at home. Please note that the entire process may take about half an hour. It's better to highlight free time to take your time and do everything carefully.
For the next lesson we will prepare detailed instructions on gluing protective film to the screen. Do not miss!
Protective glass is several times harder than the most durable film, and therefore saves the device not only from... As the manufacturers say, it can even withstand a blow from a hammer. We do not recommend conducting such experiments. But we can say: if you fall, it is the protective glass that will most likely break, and not the screen of the device.
In this case, the glass does not affect the sensitivity of the sensor and the brightness of the image.

However, glass is more expensive than film. And you can select it only for relatively popular models of smartphones and tablets.
How to stick protective glass
Step 1. Prepare the room
If dust gets under the protective glass, you will have to live with bubbles on the gadget's screen or struggle to remove them. To avoid this, do in the room wet cleaning or at least:
- Ventilate the room.
- A clean rag, preferably with detergent, wipe the table on which you are going to glue the protective glass.
- Wash your hands.
Step 2: Prepare your tools
In addition to the device and protective glass, you will need:
- Display cleaning liquid, antistatic agent or regular alcohol.
- Microfiber cloth.
- Stationery tape.
- Scissors.
- Plastic card or scraper.
Step 3: Degrease the screen surface
To do this, use display cleaning fluid, antistatic agent or alcohol. Carefully remove all stains. If you just removed the old one from your phone, wipe off any remaining adhesive. Then wipe the screen dry with microfiber.

Take the protective glass in your hands. On one side it is covered with a film that needs to be removed. Now the glass must be held at the edges so as not to leave fingerprints on the surface.
geek-nose.com Carefully, without touching the screen, place the glass 5–10 mm from the smartphone. Align the glass so that the speakers and buttons are under the corresponding holes.
geek-nose.com The most exciting moment has arrived. When the glass is perfectly aligned with the edges, simply lower it onto the screen. Thanks to the adhesive internal covering it will fix itself.

Step 5: Remove missed dust particles
Perhaps some speck of dust got under the glass and left an additional bubble on the screen. Unfortunately, microfiber cannot be removed. You will have to re-raise the protective covering.
This can be done using plastic card or scraper. In addition, we will need a strip of stationery tape. It is better to take transparent adhesive tape: white construction tape or colored varieties will leave marks on.
Grab the edge of the glass, lift it enough so that you can get a speck of dust. Now stick a piece of tape on it and sharply tear it off along with the debris. All. All that remains is to return the protective glass to its place.
Many iPhone owners try to treat their device as carefully as possible. For this purpose, various covers, bumpers and protective glasses are purchased.
Here we will tell you how to glue protective glass as simply and quickly as possible without “defects” in the process.
How to do it
Before gluing the protective glass, remove the iPhone case. If the iPhone display is already covered old film or glass - feel free to remove it. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid getting dirt on the screen.
It is best to glue in a well-lit place so that you can see every speck that gets on the device screen. Well, choose the cleanest possible surface for gluing the glass.
Let's get started
Step 1. Cleaning the iPhone display.
To do this, we use any microfiber cloth so as not to leave anything unnecessary on the screen.
You can also use an alcohol wipe and then wipe the display with a soft microfiber cloth.
Step 2. Additionally, we clean the smartphone screen using the supplied tape or any other sticker.
Simply touch the display with tape and lift it back up. The adhesive surface will collect any remaining dust.
Step 3. Now you need to remove the glass from the adhesive side protective film and attach it to the screen.
Important: Hold the glass by the edges to avoid leaving unnecessary marks on it.
Step 4. Carefully place the glass on the iPhone screen.
If the glass is good, it will fit on the smartphone screen on its own. But to be extra sure, you can smooth it out yourself.
We run our finger through the center of the smartphone and begin to smooth it until all the bubbles are removed. If there are any small bubbles left, take a plastic card and, using light pressure, swipe it over the areas where the bubbles formed.

Helpful advice: Correctly selected glass (not only in size, but also in characteristics) protects the smartphone screen from quite significant mechanical impacts. Moreover, the glass itself does not shatter when breaking, reducing the risk of injury for the phone owner. Also, the oleophobic properties of glass make it easier to use a smartphone (fingerprints are practically invisible on such glass).
How to stick protective glass:

It also helps to use a microfiber cloth to clean your phone screen.
Helpful advice: It is not necessary to buy a microfiber cloth in a store that sells smartphones and other electronics, since the prices for such goods are usually inflated there. Just go to any hardware store.
2. Before gluing the glass, you must thoroughly clean the smartphone screen from dirt, fingerprints, and dust. This should be done using a microfiber cloth and a special cloth soaked in alcohol.
3. Remove the film from the protective glass. Place the glass on the smartphone screen so that the location of the slits in the glass coincides with the position of the speaker, camera, and button.
4. Press the center of the glass and the force of mutual attraction between the molecules of the surfaces will do the rest for you. Glass installed!
Note: If, after installing the glass, you see a speck of dust or a hair accidentally caught between the protective glass and the smartphone screen, do not try to lift the edge of the glass to pull out the debris, since the chance of success of such an operation is low.
Technological progress does not stand still: telephones, which previously could only make calls, today combine a huge number of functions without which we can no longer imagine our lives. We sell a huge variety of accessories for our “favorites”: cases, protective glasses and films, plugs for the headphone slot, pendants - it’s too much to list. Some of this is just decoration, some is a necessity. The latter also includes protective glass for your phone. How to glue and what functions does it perform? And is it really necessary?
Why is it necessary?
Before you figure out how to properly glue the protective glass onto your phone, it’s worth understanding why it’s even needed. In terms of its functions, glass is the same as film, but the latter can only protect the screen from scratches; in the event of a fall, the probability of a happy outcome is very small. Those glasses that are widely available are tempered, so that if the phone is in danger of being broken, it will take the entire blow.
It may crack, individual pieces may break off, but otherwise everything will be fine - replacing it is much cheaper than the entire display. There is another type of protection, currently available only in China - liquid glass. It is applied to the screen like a regular varnish, and after drying, according to the manufacturers, it will be able to protect the screen from water. In fact, such a coating increases the sensitivity of the sensor and also visually increases the brightness of the display, but protective functions doesn't fulfill it at all. This type of protection is not visible on the display. That's why everything more people Today people are wondering how to glue protective glass onto a phone, iPhone, or device from any other company in order to save money on repairs.
Where to glue?
So, how to glue protective glass to your phone screen? Firstly, it is better not to improvise, but to follow the instructions on the package. In addition, often in places where such accessories are sold, sticking is offered as an additional service (for a certain fee, most often). If you decide that this is too simple, then proceed to gluing yourself.
Necessary equipment
So, we have a protective glass for the phone. How to glue it yourself? First, you need to stock up on everything you need for this simple operation. The glass set includes wet and dry wipes - one degreases the surface, and the other removes dust and small debris from it.
You will also need tape or tape to remove dust. adhesive tape, they can also be used to pre-fix the glass, adjusting it to a specific smartphone (most often the glass is universal, so it will also need to be correctly positioned on the display, taking into account the features of a particular model).
Preparing the display
How to glue protective glass on a Samsung phone, iPhone, Lenovo and others? Before starting work, you should wash your hands with soap - this will help get rid of excess fat. In addition, you need to clear your workspace.
Next, the display is degreased (to do this, you need to use one of the napkins from the kit, but if they are not there, just moisten a cotton pad with alcohol or perfume) - you need to wipe it very carefully, without leaving a single streak. Excess alcohol is removed with a dry cloth, dust particles are also wiped off with it (the most persistent ones will have to be removed with tape, simply pressing it to the dusty place) and the remaining stains are wiped off.
And gluing
So, we have prepared the display. How do you glue the protective glass onto your phone? First, if it is dirty, it is wiped off in the same way as the display. After this, you must, holding the glass by the edges so that it does not get dirty again, remove the film covering the adhesive layer from it.
Holding the glass as close to the screen as possible, you should find the optimal position for it (you need to align it with the main button and speaker), and you can help yourself with the help of narrow strips of adhesive tape that can be glued along the intended border of the glass. Once the correct position is selected, the glass is pressed against the display.
Elimination of defects
So, we figured out how to glue protective glass to a Lenovo phone or any other smartphone. But what to do if there is an air bubble underneath? In this case, you need to press the cloth tightly against the glass and move it up and down, as if squeezing out excess air. As for dust, which can also get under it, just use something flat (for example, a credit card) to pick up the edge of the glass, and then carefully remove it.
If you remove it too quickly and without special care, you can damage the plastic as well as the adhesive layer, which means you will have to buy a new one in any case. Having removed it and holding it with the adhesive side down (if you turn the glass over, dust and debris will instantly attach to the glue, and cleaning it is not at all easy), you need to wipe the display from any debris (you can also use tape, small pieces of which can easily remove dust), after which, following all the instructions, the glass is glued again.
Doesn't hold up!
But what should you do if you bought a protective glass for your phone, you know how to glue it, but it still doesn’t stick to the screen? In this case, there are two possible options for such “disobedience” of the accessory: either the protection and/or display were poorly prepared (it is clear that in this case you will have to repeat the entire operation, strictly following the instructions), or the glass does not fit a specific smartphone model and does not stick due to the fact that its edges touch the protruding parts of the phone (the same start button).
In any case, if for some reason it does not stick immediately or comes off, you need to start all over again, try again, and then, in case of failure, if possible, consult with a specialist who can point out errors, if any. There is.
Conclusion
So, protective glass is not just an alternative to film. It will not allow the display to break if dropped even from a height of human height - the protection itself may crack, but the main thing is that the smartphone will not be damaged. Special tests were carried out which showed that the protective glass would not withstand anything other than a direct blow with a hammer - but a collision with such force is very unlikely in real life. Replacing the entire display (and most often it is this that is replaced, since it is usually impossible to separate the glass and the sensor itself) will cost almost half the cost of the phone, while the protective glass is several times cheaper, and you can replace it yourself without overpaying specialists. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, use this type of protection, which will save your smartphone and your nerves.
