How to Safely Remove an iPhone Screen Protector?

Removing a cracked tempered glass protector can be tricky. You don't want to scratch your actual screen or get cut by glass shards.

Tools You Might Need

• A toothpick or fingernail.
• A credit card or thin plastic card.
• Duct tape (optional).

Removal Steps

1. Lift the Corner: Use your fingernail or a toothpick to gently pry up one corner of the protector. Do not use metal knives!
2. Slide the Card: Once a corner is lifted, slide the credit card underneath.
3. Peel Slowly: Push the card slowly across the screen to separate the adhesive. Ideally, pull the protector up evenly to prevent it from shattering further.
4. Safety Tip: If the glass is badly shattered, stick a piece of wide duct tape over the protector before removing it. This holds the shards together as you pull it off.
