Step 1
Make sure to clean up any leftover glue or glass bits before mounting the new display, or it might not sit properly and could get damaged.
- Sweep away every last bit of sticky gunk and crumbs from the frame—your phone deserves a fresh start! Grab some high-octane isopropyl alcohol (90% or above), give the adhesion area a good scrub, then wipe it down with a lint-free cloth so it's squeaky clean.
- Lay out the adhesive strips like puzzle pieces to see where each one fits. No surprises here!
- Peel away the clear plastic backing from the big pre-cut adhesive strip, revealing the sticky side. It’s showtime for your masterpiece.

Step 2
Double-check that your adhesive shapes line up perfectly with your phone—no funky overlaps allowed!
- Gently line up one edge of the adhesive with the phone frame—think of it like a puzzle piece, just waiting to fit!
- Once you've got that edge in place, lightly set the adhesive down on the frame, like it's settling in for a nice nap.
- Now, with a little finesse, use your fingers to press the adhesive into place. It should feel snug, but not too tight.
- If it’s not looking quite right, don’t worry—just peel it back up slowly and try again. You’ve got this!
Step 3
The strips are tailored for a specific purpose and can't be swapped around. Make sure to use the right ones for the job to keep everything working smoothly.
- Grab one of the end adhesive strips and peel it away from the clear backing—like you're unwrapping a secret snack.
- Hold the strip by those green tabs and match it up with the frame, like you're lining up the perfect selfie.
- Gently lay the adhesive onto the phone. Double-check that all those little cutouts are lining up where they should.
- Once things look straight, press the adhesive down with your fingers to lock it in place.
- Repeat all that for the other adhesive strip and you're good to go.
Step 4
Before you stick your screen down for good, give it a quick test run and make sure everything’s working smoothly.
