Or 6. This instruction will discuss the main problems that you may encounter when sticking 2.5D glass. Read our tips carefully and feel free to proceed with the installation yourself.
Comparing the sizes of protective glass for iPhone 6 and iPhone 7
Quite often, manufacturers of protective glasses send prototypes to our editorial office for testing and checking the quality of the silicone adhesive layer. In this instruction, we will paste prototypes of the protective glass from the iPhone 7 onto the iPhone 6.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 differ from each other in the size of the earpiece (it is longer in iPhone 7). If you look closely at the photos, you will notice the main difference between the two smartphones. The only problem that you may encounter when gluing glass from one smartphone to another is centering the protective glass on the top of the device (relative to the earpiece).
To stick glass on iPhone 6 most exactly, read the instructions below.
Attention! The protective glass from iPhone 6 cannot be glued to iPhone 7 without the formation of local air particles in the area of the earpiece.
Set of tools for installing protective glass
As a rule, most branded manufacturers of protective glass for iPhone 6 complete their products with a wide range of tools for high-quality, self-installation at home. One such manufacturer is Benks.
Let's not stray too far from our instructions. So, to install a protective glass on the iPhone 6S 6 we will need:
Stickers (or tape)
Wet wipe or alcohol wipe
Microfiber
Scotch tape and stickers will help us stick the glass using the “Loophole” method. We advise you to use adhesive tape, because... stickers will be needed to remove particles of dirt and dust from under the glued glass. The presence of microfiber in instruments is mandatory. Without it, it is impossible to remove fine dust and stains from using an alcohol or damp wipe.
What to do before installing a protective glass on iPhone 6? Preparatory work.
First of all, you should determine the location of the adhesive base on the protective glass. In 98% of cases, manufacturers apply special inscriptions to the sticker on the side of the protective adhesive film. If you are in doubt about the location of the adhesive layer, pull the back of the film (but do not peel it off!) and remember which way it peels off.
Cut two small pieces of tape and transfer them to your fingers, as shown in the photo.
Transfer the tape from your fingers to protective glass, on the opposite adhesive side. Take the iPhone 6 6S in your hand and attach the protective glass with adhesive tape. Center the glass on the top speaker and the Home button. Press it with your thumb and secure the tape “Tightly” on the back of the iPhone case.
As a result, you will get a “Loop” design, as shown in the photo.
For which protective glasses is this gluing method suitable?
Currently, there is a colossal amount of accessories for the iPhone 6 on the market, and various options and standard sizes of protective glass. Our instructions discuss armored glass without a “Pre-installation platform”, which creates an obstacle to centering the glass relative to the smartphone body and makes it impossible to use the “Loop” for high-quality installation.
Why is it impossible to glue glass to an iPhone 6 with an adhesive platform using the proposed method? Everything is very simple. If you look at the photographs, it will immediately become clear. The platform will not allow you to center the glass, because... there are no pass-through cutouts for the Home button and earpiece.
In the case of Benks, a similar design is typically used in the production of 3D glass. We have published instructions on how to glue 3D glass on an iPhone 6.
Cleaning the iPhone 6 Screen
Let's return to the process of gluing the protective glass. First of all, the display should be degreased with an alcohol wipe. To remove dust and dirt particles, carefully wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth in a circular motion. Make sure your iPhone 6 display is at its ideal frequency.
Attention! After cleaning the screen, immediately proceed to the next step in our instructions for gluing the protective glass. The display will quickly become covered with dust if the room in which you install the glass has a lot of dust or low humidity. We recommend doing this in the bathroom.
The main step. How to glue protective glass on iPhone 6?
Important! Apply the glass, without pressing with your finger, to once again make sure that there is no dirt under the glass and that it is centered relative to the iPhone 6 body.
Click index finger in the center of the protective glass. When most of the air has come out from under it, peel off the tape, starting from the front of the smartphone.
Air under the protective glass on an iPhone. How to remove?
There are many ways that will help you expel air from under the protective glass of your phone. We will look at the most popular of them. Our instructions are most suitable for local (circular) formations of air bubbles under protective glass. All you need for this are short nails.
Determine the closest edge to where the air collects. Gently lift the edge of the protective glass using your fingernails. Drive the “Bubble” from under the protective glass of the iPhone 6 into the resulting passage.
How to deal with a peeling edge or air accumulation around the edges of the protective glass on the iPhone 6?
High-quality protective glass or armored glass without a defective adhesive layer instantly sticks to the smartphone display without the formation of “non-glue” along its edges. If this occurs, proceed as follows:
Wait a few days. Perhaps the adhesive base is not in poor condition and over time the protective glass will stick over the entire area of the iPhone 6 display. In such cases, we advise you to put the gadget on charge so that its body warms up a little. The temperature of the device will serve as a catalyst for the setting of the adhesive layer.
Is the protective glass on the iPhone 6 coming off at the edges? This happens, but not often. The smartphone display may be curved. Identifying this problem is quite simple. Apply protective glass from another manufacturer.
If step 1 does not help you, contact the store where you purchased the protective glass for iPhone 6 and file a claim for the sale of goods of inadequate quality.
conclusions
There is nothing complicated in the process of installing or gluing protective glass. The main thing is to carefully read our instructions. If you still have questions, you can ask them in the comments to this article or in our in social networks. 3D glass on Apple iPhone 6 is not suitable for installation according to these instructions. Be careful.
Details Benks Created: August 10, 2017 Updated: January 25, 2019Many iPhone owners try to treat their device as carefully as possible. For this purpose, various covers, bumpers and protective glasses are purchased.
Here we will tell you how to glue protective glass as simply and quickly as possible without “defects” in the process.
How to do it
Before gluing the protective glass, remove the iPhone case. If the iPhone display is already covered with old film or glass, feel free to remove it. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid getting dirt on the screen.
It is best to glue in a well-lit place so that you can see every speck that gets on the device screen. Well, choose the cleanest possible surface for gluing the glass.
Let's get started
Step 1. Cleaning the iPhone display.
To do this, we use any microfiber cloth so as not to leave anything unnecessary on the screen.
You can also use an alcohol wipe and then wipe the display with a soft microfiber cloth.
Step 2. Additionally, we clean the smartphone screen using the supplied tape or any other sticker.
Simply touch the display with tape and lift it back up. The adhesive surface will collect any remaining dust.
Step 3. Now you need to remove the protective film from the adhesive side of the glass and apply it to the screen.
Important: Hold the glass by the edges to avoid leaving unnecessary marks on it.
Step 4. Carefully place the glass on the iPhone screen.
If the glass is good, it will fit on the smartphone screen on its own. But to be extra sure, you can smooth it out yourself.
We run our finger through the center of the smartphone and begin to smooth it until all the bubbles are removed. If there are any small bubbles left, take a plastic card and, using light pressure, swipe it over the areas where the bubbles formed.

Flaws
Like other elements, glass also has disadvantages. Many phone users believe that the main disadvantage is the complexity of the integration procedure. But actually it is not.
The main disadvantage is that after this the device becomes bulky and heavy. But if this is not important, then you can safely purchase this element necessary for your phone. Telephone stores offer a wide range of protective glasses. And for an additional fee they will even glue glass.

Manufacturers
Gorilla Glass is a glass invented in 1960, but with the release of smartphones it began to be used in 2000. The American company produces reliable protective equipment for devices. Each subsequent product surpasses the previous one in all criteria. For example, the second version had better optical properties compared to the first.
Dragontail is also a leading company. The product has all the necessary properties to protect the device from scratches. There is high-quality Sapphire glass. The product does not damage the camera lens, as well as the entire screen. Sapphire is durable, but it is considered synthetic and is produced by crystallizing aluminum oxide at elevated temperatures.
Screen protectors are considered the best accessories for a phone, especially a smartphone. They work better than films, preserving equipment for a long time. And which product to choose depends on your desire.
Protective glass is several times harder than the most durable film, and therefore saves the device not only from... As the manufacturers say, it can even withstand a blow from a hammer. We do not recommend conducting such experiments. But we can say: if you fall, it is the protective glass that will most likely break, and not the screen of the device.
In this case, the glass does not affect the sensitivity of the sensor and the brightness of the image.

However, glass is more expensive than film. And you can select it only for relatively popular models of smartphones and tablets.
How to stick protective glass
Step 1. Prepare the room
If dust gets under the protective glass, you will have to live with bubbles on the gadget's screen or struggle to remove them. To avoid this, wet clean the room or at least:
- Ventilate the room.
- Using a clean cloth, preferably with detergent, wipe the table on which you are going to glue the protective glass.
- Wash your hands.
Step 2: Prepare your tools
In addition to the device and protective glass, you will need:
- Display cleaning liquid, antistatic agent or regular alcohol.
- Microfiber cloth.
- Stationery tape.
- Scissors.
- Plastic card or scraper.
Step 3: Degrease the screen surface
To do this, use display cleaning fluid, antistatic agent or alcohol. Carefully remove all stains. If you just removed the old one from the phone, wipe off any remaining adhesive. Then wipe the screen dry with microfiber.
geek-nose.com Step 4. Glue the glass
Take the protective glass in your hands. On one side it is covered with a film that needs to be removed. Now the glass must be held at the edges so as not to leave fingerprints on the surface.
geek-nose.com Carefully, without touching the screen, place the glass 5–10 mm from the smartphone. Align the glass so that the speakers and buttons are under the corresponding holes.
geek-nose.com The most exciting moment has arrived. When the glass is perfectly aligned with the edges, simply lower it onto the screen. Thanks to the adhesive inner coating, it will stick on its own.
geek-nose.com If any bubbles appear, remove them with a microfiber cloth. Wipe the screen with it from the center to the edges, expelling excess air.
Step 5: Remove missed dust particles
Perhaps some speck of dust got under the glass and left an additional bubble on the screen. Unfortunately, microfiber cannot be removed. You will have to re-raise the protective covering.
This can be done using a plastic card or a scraper. In addition, we will need a strip of stationery tape. It is better to take transparent adhesive tape: white construction tape or colored varieties will leave marks on.
Grab the edge of the glass, lift it enough so that you can get a speck of dust. Now stick a piece of tape on it and sharply tear it off along with the debris. All. All that remains is to return the protective glass to its place.
Do you want to protect your phone from damage as much as possible? Then you should think about purchasing and installing protective glass! We will tell you how to glue protective glass yourself in this article!
Why protective glass?
Despite the fact that many manufacturers install special Corning Gorilla Glass on phones, which in theory should protect the display from scratches and cracking during an accidental fall, as practice shows, they provide little protection and it is better to add additional protective glass.
Protective film or glass
Protective film and protective glass are not the same thing! Glass is much denser than film, does not impair the clickability of the screen and color rendition, better protects the display when the phone falls from a height, and can improve image quality in bright sunlight thanks to the anti-reflective coating. Therefore, when the question is what to choose, film or glass, it is better to give your preference, of course, to protective glass.
By the way, it is worth noting that protective glass is much easier to glue than film!
How to ideally stick protective glass?
