Apply a screen protector foil with Easy-On®
If you would like to apply protector film to your mobile phone, there is a mounting tool that will make this process a lot easier: Easy-On® from Hama. This can be used to apply both screen protector foil and glass screen protectors. The Easy-On® technology is available in the form of frames and adapters for both types of screen protection. This tool is ideal if you need speed and precision. Foil or glass screen protectors fitted with Easy-On® can naturally also be removed again.
If you have chosen a screen protector foil with an Easy-On® adapter as a mounting tool, place the phone protector into the adapter after cleaning the display. Then attach the adapter to the charging connection on your smartphone. This automatically puts the screen protection in the ideal position. This saves you a lot of fiddly work and you can apply the screen protector foil precisely on the first attempt.
Wet application of screen protector foil
A little water can help you apply a screen protector foil bubble-free. If you apply your screen protector foil while it is wet, bubbles can be eradicated better by pressing them. However, only use a little water and ensure at all times that the moisture cannot get into the housing of your smartphone. Apply a thin film of water onto the display with a clean sprayer before you apply the screen protector foil.
We recommend that you choose a mobile phone screen protector with Easy-On® assistance, which can also be applied effortlessly without water.
