As much as I love having a smartphone, I do hate how fragile they are.
As much as I wouldnt go without a screen protector, I hate the things with a passion.
The latter has mostly been fixed thanks to accessory-makers offering plastic placement tools with their screen protectors.
Here the plastic tool isnt meant as a guide for you to apply the screen protector.
Instead its holding the screen protector in place to do all that hard work for you.
The hardest part for you is making sure that your phone screen is clean before you begin.
But you’re free to replace them, and they tend not to cost very much.
Not all of them have the pull-tab, though, which feels like it defeats the purpose.
But maybe people dont bother because screen protectors can be a major pain if youre not careful.
Completely idiot-proof, and I am a walking example of how accurate that description is.
