- Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a clean, dust-free environment. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the screen.
- Clean the iPad Screen:
- Turn off your iPad.
- Use the provided alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the iPad's screen surface.
- Immediately use the microfiber cloth to dry and polish the screen, removing any streaks or residue.
- Use the dust removal sticker to dab the screen and lift any remaining dust particles. Ensure the screen is perfectly clean before proceeding.
- Position the EZ Apply Tray:
- Place your iPad into the EZ Apply installation tray. Ensure the iPad is seated correctly and securely.
- Note that the tray is marked "top" to help you orient the iPad correctly. This is important for aligning the screen protector's camera notch.
- Apply the Screen Protector:
- Carefully peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the Glass Elite screen protector. Avoid touching the adhesive surface.
- Align the screen protector with the top edge of the iPad, using the EZ Apply tray as a guide. The tray ensures precise placement over the screen and around the camera.
- Gently lower the screen protector onto the iPad's screen. The adhesive will begin to spread.
- Remove Air Bubbles:
- Once the protector is fully applied, use a credit card or similar flat object wrapped in the microfiber cloth to gently push any air bubbles towards the edges of the screen.
- Apply moderate pressure. Small remaining bubbles should dissipate naturally within 24-48 hours.
- Final Steps:
- Remove the EZ Apply tray.
- Wipe down the newly installed screen protector with the microfiber cloth to remove any smudges.
The screen protector is designed not to interfere with the tablet fitting into Bluetooth keyboards such as the Magic Keyboard or Logitech keyboard.
