Fitting Kits and Alignment Tools

Why a fitting kit helps

Fitting a screen protector by hand takes a steady eye. A few millimetres off at one end and the glass covers the speaker or the front camera, or leaves a strip of screen bare. A fitting kit takes the guesswork out: a tray or frame holds the protector exactly over the screen, so it can only go down in one place. It suits anyone who has fitted a crooked one before, and anyone fitting a protector for someone else.

What is in this range

The kits here today are tempered glass screen protectors that come with their own fitting tray or frame, for iPhone models from the iPhone X and 11 on, and for Samsung Galaxy A phones. The phone sits in the tray, or the frame sits over the phone, and the glass follows the guides down onto the screen. Packs hold several protectors, so there is a spare, and some trays are made to keep dust off while you fit. Choose your exact model on each product page.

What else a good fit needs

A frame lines the glass up, but dust is what spoils most fits. A typical kit has:

• an alcohol wipe to clean off grease;
• a microfibre cloth to dry and polish;
• dust stickers, small sheets of sticky film that lift the last specks;
• a smoothing card to push bubbles out from the middle to the edges.

If one is missing, a clean microfibre cloth of the kind sold for glasses does the drying, and a strip of clear tape pressed on lightly does the work of a dust sticker. Screen sprays and cloths are useful for this and for cleaning the phone afterwards.

Fitting step by step

Work somewhere clean with good light. Clean the screen, lift off any dust, then put the phone in the tray or the frame on the phone. Peel the backing from the protector and lower it along the guides. Press the middle and let it spread to the edges, then push any bubbles out with the card. The guide to fitting a screen protector goes into each step, and what to do about dust under the glass.

Questions people ask about fitting kits

Will a frame fit any phone?

No. Frames are made for one model, or a group of the same size, and come with the protector made for them.

Is there a frame for a lens protector?

Some camera lens protectors come with their own positioning frame, which lines every lens cover up at once.
