Bubbles under your screen protector – how to remove them
)
)
Have you just applied a screen protector and noticed bubbles? Air bubbles can often be gently pushed towards the edge using a soft microfibre cloth. If there is dust underneath or the edges are not sticking, check the cause first. Always follow the application instructions for your screen protector.
Start by checking where the bubbles are
Look at the screen in good lighting. Is there a bubble in the middle, can you see a speck of dust, or is the protector lifting along the edge?
Also check that the protector is straight and designed for your phone model. This will help you decide what to do next.
How to remove air bubbles
Try this first without lifting the screen protector:
Place your phone on a clean, stable surface.
Use a clean, soft microfibre cloth.
Gently sweep across the bubble towards the nearest edge.
Stop if the bubble does not move with light pressure.
Avoid pressing harder to force a bubble out. Need help with the application itself? Follow our guide to applying your screen protector correctly.
What should I do if there is dust under the screen protector?
A speck of dust will not disappear when you push out the air around it. Check the product instructions before trying to lift the protector. Loosening it can affect adhesion and let more dust underneath.

Why is my screen protector lifting at the edges?
If the problem is along the edge, check the fit:
Is your exact phone model listed on the packaging?
Is the screen protector properly centred?
Is the edge of your phone case pressing against the protector?
Two phones with the same screen size cannot necessarily use the same protector. The shape and the position of features such as the speaker and camera also matter.

Do I need to replace my screen protector?
You do not need to buy a new one straight away. Check the application and fit first.
If it needs replacing, start with your phone model and then choose the type of protection that suits your everyday needs. Would you like to preserve the look of your display or make the screen harder to read from the side? Our guide helps you choose the right screen protector.

Frequently asked questions about screen protector bubbles
Can bubbles disappear on their own?
Small air bubbles can sometimes become smaller after application. Follow the instructions for your protector. Dust or an incorrect fit, however, will not be resolved by waiting.
Can I remove my screen protector and reapply it?
Most screen protectors are designed for a single application. Removing the protector can affect the adhesive surface and allow it to collect dust. Check the instructions before trying to reuse it.
How do I know I am buying the right screen protector?
Check that your exact phone model is listed in the product information. Do not choose based only on screen size or how your phone looks.
