3
. Perfectly clean the surface iPhone display or iPad. Microfiber cloths work best for this. This fabric absorbs moisture well and does not leave fibers behind.
4 . Get a bubble scraper. They usually come complete with film. If you don’t have one, then a bank card will do.
5 . Attach the film to the display. It's no secret that screen protectors are covered with films on both sides. They usually have stickers on them indicating the extraction order. Applying the film to the display at the bottom with two pieces of tape, fix it to the device so that there are no distortions when gluing.
6 . Lift the screen protector and, holding it in a vertical position, wipe the display with microfiber again.
7 . Start shooting your first film...
and at the same time stick the film to the display
Perform the operation slowly to avoid the formation of bubbles.
7 . At the very end, remove the remaining bubbles with a scraper/card.

High-quality protective film for iPhone 5/5s is made of special thermoplastic, which will protect the device screen from scratches and abrasions, while maintaining all its original user properties. Despite popular belief, using such an accessory for your phone will actually protect your device from damage that could be caused by third-party objects. Moreover, modern protective films do not distort the color rendition of the screen and do not in any way affect the speed of its response to user actions. You can stick the film on the phone screen in service center or absolutely independently at home.
So how to properly apply a protective film to your iPhone 5/5s?
1. Clean the device screen from dirt, dust and fingerprints:
1.1. Wipe the iPhone 5/5s screen with a microfiber cloth, which is included with any high-quality protective film for the device:
It is best to carry out the screen cleaning procedure under a fluorescent lamp, which will allow you to see even the smallest spots and stains.
1.2. Remove the remaining smallest specks of dust using dust stickers, which are usually included in the delivery of any high-quality protective film for the device:
If the kit did not include such tools, you can use pieces of ordinary adhesive tape.
2. Apply film to the device screen:
2.1 Peel off a small section of the transport sticker of the protective film and attach the latter to the upper or lower end of the device so that all the cutouts remain in place:
Each protective film is equipped with two transport layers, which are usually designated 1 and 2. At this point, you must use the first one.
This procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible. In case unsuccessful attempts— quickly peel off the protective film and start applying the sticker again.
2.2. Make sure that the film is positioned correctly and smoothly stick it onto the screen, gradually getting rid of its transport layer:
Smooth operation is important so that all excess air comes out from under the film - thus, the film will be pasted without so-called “bubbles”.
2.3. Carefully remove the second transport sticker from the already pasted film and wipe the device:
Removal of the second transport layer must be done carefully so as not to peel off the entire protective film from the device.
If you find areas under which dust got in while gluing the film, peel it off using a special squeegee, remove the debris using the provided means and stick it back:
If a squeegee is not included, the protective film can be peeled off using any similar plastic tool. It is also worth noting that the delivery package of the protective film for iPhone 5/5s may also include other devices for its high-quality stickers. You can read about their use in the instructions that should be included in the package.
Thus, a film applied to the iPhone 5/5s at home will help preserve the device’s screen in its original form for a long time. Replacing a scratched film is much easier and cheaper than replacing the entire screen.
Screen protectors are the cornerstone. Many people think that it is simply impossible to stick it properly, especially on their own. Others calmly do it with their own hands and remain in the status of possessors of “secret knowledge.” But in reality, it's really quite simple: you just need to learn a few secrets.
The brief instructions that usually come with the film are usually useless. It is unknown who came up with the idea of writing the cherished “Paste the film evenly and without bubbles,” but this “someone” clearly did not know about the difficulties and suffering that accompany this process. Try putting the instructions aside and doing things differently.
First, wipe the smartphone screen with an alcohol wipe or microfiber. Moreover, take your time and rub more thoroughly so that not a single microbe remains on the screen. Now life hacks. The first secret is to secure the film to the screen before you peel off the protective layer. This will minimize the possibility of dust getting under the film before gluing. And it will be more convenient to work.
Place the film on the phone and secure it around the edges with electrical tape, leaving one side free. Lift the film by the free edge and carefully peel off the protective layer.
The main thing you need to try to avoid is the ingress of dust and the formation of air bubbles. Therefore, stock up on a credit or any other plastic card before gluing the film. Help yourself with this “tool” by pressing the film tightly while gluing. Smooth it with a card and make sure that air does not penetrate under the coating. If dust does end up under the film, do not peel it off! Secret number two: instead of re-gluing everything, push the dust to the very edge of the film, pressing the edge of the plastic card firmly against the screen.
Hello dear visitors of the Benks-Shop online store. In this instruction we will teach you how to glue correctly XR series protective film with full coverage and rounded edges for iPhone 7 from the company Banks. To begin with, read the instructions carefully so as not to look for answers to questions that arise during the installation. If you have any doubts, ask any questions in the comments or by contact number phone.
Fortunately, all you need in terms of additional tools is a knife to open the package. The rest of the accessories that are required for correct and error-free gluing of the protective film were included by Benks in the product packaging.
Preparation of the workplace
Properly clear the area on the table or work area that will be used for applying the film. Remove all unnecessary objects so as not to accidentally touch them with your hand and not be distracted.
We first recommend that you increase the air humidity in the room you are in. To do this, you should use a water spray or, even better and easier, perform the installation process in the bathroom, steaming the air with hot water in advance. Roll up long sleeves on your clothing to prevent dust particles from getting onto the surface of your iPhone screen.
Preparing tools
Open the package with the protective film for your iPhone 7 and take out all the tools you will need to apply it.
Attention! In order not to get confused in the tools, we advise you to arrange the accessories in the order of their use, as shown in the photo.
1. Small adhesive stickers;
2. Wet alcohol wipe;
3. Dry microfiber cloth;
4. Large adhesive absorber (blue);
5. Mediator.
Preparing protective film for gluing
For the most accurate positioning of the XR film relative to the sensors and the “Home” button, we advise you to stick small adhesive stickers on it (diagonally, as shown in the photo). This technique will allow you to hold the film relatively comfortably from different edges without touching its adhesive layer. Once the additional “Holders” are secured, set the protective film aside. Let's move on to the next step.
Cleaning the iPhone Display
Take a damp alcohol wipe and thoroughly wipe the gadget's screen. Pay special attention to the rounded edges of the smartphone. Try not to miss a single place. The entire surface of the screen should be effectively degreased.
To avoid leaving streaks on the surface of the display after using a damp cloth, wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth. There is no need to wipe thoroughly; the main thing is to remove stains after wet cleaning.
The final stage of cleaning. Pick up a large blue dust absorber. Peel it off the shipping tape and transfer it to iPhone screen. Using a sweeping motion, stick and peel off the tape until you are sure that all dust and dirt particles have been removed. Pay great attention to this stage, since it is the final one and the service life of the film on iPhone 7 directly depends on the quality of its gluing (installation).
Theory
In order for you to understand what to do next, we’ll tell you a little theory. The XR series protective film consists of three layers. Two of them are numbered with corresponding stickers on the surface. The central or middle layer (let's call it No. 3) is not numbered, so you should not look for additional inscriptions.
Layer No. 1, is a pre-installation film, after removing which we can begin the gluing process. This layer protects the adhesive base.
Layer No. 2, a reinforcing layer that stiffens the thin film so it can be easily adhered to the iPhone display. If you remove Layer No. 2 before gluing the film, you will make a big mistake, because... The protective film will be quite difficult to position due to its increased flexibility.
Layer No. 3, XR film, the very layer that should remain after all the perfect manipulations with gluing the protective structure onto the iPhone. It is this layer that is painted black/white or the color of the smartphone body.
Practice
After you have studied the theory in detail, we move on to gluing the protective film. Gently pull Layer #1. Make sure that it is the protective surface of the adhesive layer that is peeling off, and not just the sticker. When dismantling Layer No. 1, hold the protective film strictly parallel to the smartphone display (not vertically or at an angle) so that dust or dirt particles do not have time to stick to the inner adhesive part. Center the holes on the film relative to the sensors, camera and Home button on your smartphone. Press it against the display only after you are absolutely sure of the positioning of all the cutouts.
Getting rid of air bubbles
We sincerely congratulate you :) If you have reached this step, most of the difficulties are behind you. Peel off the stickers that helped you position the protective film on the surface of the gadget.
Attention! Do not peel off Layer #2 until you have expelled all the air from under the protective film.
To remove accumulated bubbles from under the protective film, take a pick and wrap it in a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the film (unlikely unless you removed Layer #2). Smoothly and carefully expel air from the center of the iPhone display to the edge.
Final stage
If you have glued the protective film evenly, you will not have any difficulties removing air from under it. Otherwise, inaccurate installation leads to the appearance of an air gap along the edges of the film, as shown in the photo. No matter how hard you try, removing the air gap will be impossible until you center the film as accurately and evenly as possible relative to all the holes in the iPhone.
Notes
1. How to remove dirt particles from under the pasted film/glass so as not to completely re-stick it?
Small stickers will help us deal with this problem. They can easily cope with this task.
Peel off one sticker, lift the pasted film (glass) from the nearest edge to which the dust particle is located. Insert an adhesive sticker into the resulting space, as shown in the photo. As a rule, in most cases, dirt sticks to the adhesive base of the protective film. After you have applied the adhesive side of the small sticker to the adhered dust particle, press the local point with your finger. This will allow dirt to be transferred from the adhesive base of the protective film to the adhesive base of the sticker. Carefully peel off the “Patch” and remove it from under the cleaned film.
2. Is it possible to re-stick the protective film several times?
No. The more you re-glue the film, the greater the likelihood that the adhesive layer will completely exhaust its properties; ultimately, air bubbles will form across the entire surface, which will be impossible to remove.
As you understand, gluing a protective film on an iPhone 7 is not so easy. This requires developed fine motor skills and a lot of patience. You will go to great lengths to protect the screen of your gadget.

How to apply film to an iPhone: who to trust?
Applying film to an iPhone is not easy. This is painstaking work that requires care and precision. Otherwise, bubbles will form on the screen. They spoil its appearance and indicate poor quality of this work.
The film is mainly glued by specialists from the store where the goods are purchased. But you will need to pay separately for this. The cost of this service is equal to the price of the film. In this case, the specialist is responsible for it. In case of poor quality work, you can demand that they redo it. Moreover, everything must be done at their expense.
If you decide to save money, you can stick the film on the iPhone yourself. But it’s better to calculate your strength from the beginning. Will you be able to do this? As practice shows, if you do it carefully and know the features of this process, then everyone can do it.
How to properly glue film to an iPhone: preparatory activities
You don't need any special equipment or tools to apply the film to your iPhone. Therefore, this can be done at home. The first thing to start with is to put your phone on the table. Then point the lamp at it. It's better if it's in daylight. This will allow you to determine whether there are dust or lint on the screen.
Then you need to wipe it with the microfiber cloth that comes with the phone. You can do this with a special spray that is used for cleaning similar devices. But it must be purchased separately. It is available in many stores that sell computers. For this purpose, it is strictly forbidden to use products that contain alcohol, as this will be harmful to the device’s screen.
Make sure the screen is clean. It should be free of fingerprints, grease stains, dust and other dirt. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of solid particles. They are extremely unsafe for the screen.
After completing this work, you need to take out the film that is in the package. This is done carefully so as not to damage it. Then you should take a good look at it. So, on its corners there are stickers that will be used.
How to properly glue film on an iPhone: features of the process
To start working with the film, it is placed on the table. In this case, its surface must be dry, smooth and clean. The paper stickers are not firmly attached and are easy to peel off. But it is worth paying attention that this is done centimeter by centimeter. Moreover, you cannot touch the adhesive side of the film with your hands. This may leave stains and other unwanted marks on it.
The film is then applied to the phone screen. Clarity is important here. Therefore, the corners of the two surfaces must coincide. Next, the free edge of the film is pressed well against the screen. If unevenness appears at the initial stage, it is better to remove the film and start all over again, since doing this further will be problematic. This manipulation can be carried out several times until the desired result is achieved. At the same time, it will not deteriorate in any way and will not lose its appearance. But you can’t overdo it, as dust and other dirt may get on it. The adhesive side of the film quickly grabs them. If this happens, it becomes unsuitable for further use. Therefore, it is better to throw it away and get a new one.
After this, the entire film is glued. Bubbles often appear in this process, even among professionals who do this work every day. There is no need to worry - this situation can be corrected. They can be removed using a plastic card - it is swiped across the phone screen, and this must be done from the center to the edge. This simple procedure will get rid of all the bubbles and unwanted air under the film.
The final stage is the removal of the second film, which acts as an auxiliary film. Moreover, it is better to do this with a sticker. But it must be the second one.
Do I need to put a film on my iPhone?
Do I need to put a film on my iPhone? This is one of the most frequently asked questions. Since everyone knows about high quality of this product. But, as practice shows, the film must be glued to any screen. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a phone or a tablet, since you will carry it in your pocket, purse or other place. At the same time, it can get rubbed and scratched, which will ruin its appearance. After a year of operation it will change. This is an undesirable effect. Only a protective film will help protect your iPhone screen. Moreover, only you will know about its existence. To identify it to a stranger, you need to look carefully; it is unlikely that he will do this. The film is transparent, so the design and other data of the phone will remain unchanged.
