Just start at one corner and using either your fingernail or something's that can lift the screen off the glass, like a credit card or something, and begin by lifting it up and away from the glass. Using a cleaner safe to use on your phone or electronic screens clean the screen and dry and then finish wiping with a lint free cloth. Then simply re apply your new one just like the last one. Good luck

And once you do remove your Tech Armor shield, because it did fail you, I recommend not putting another one on less you want your phone damaged! I dare you to try and get a replacement from Tech Armor, they won't do it! I recommend instead buying a ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass for Apple iPhone - Case Friendly. Much better case and they have actual Hassle Free Replacements!

There are sheets of plastic on both sides of the screen protector. You peel one off and stick it to your phones screen. Once you've gotten all the bubbles off and you feel like you got a good fit, you can unpeel the second sheet. Bam you're done. I'm a perfectionist and it took me less than 5 minutes from start to finish. Hope this helped.

I'm sorry I cant help you. After the first one scratched so easily, I threw the others away and bought new ones. Normally you peel one side, apply and then peel other side. The key is to have the glass really clean and use a lint free cloth so no foreign matter under the shield

No, the LCD screen is nearly impossible to remove from the old glass and re-afix to the new. A new screen with a new digitizer attached is much easier to install.

We did not use the tape nor did we have a need to. The glass is already sticky so when u get the broken glass off u can just peel the film from replacement glass and it should stick just fine. Mine did. U will needed to rub the glass to make sure the replacement glass sticks and lays fine though. U tube has some good vidoes regarding screen rrplacement. Good luck!

Denise, The number you referenced is exactly what I have, and I concur with the previous response. I watched a YouTube on how to do it myself. Turned out it was a major project that left me at an authorized Apple repair shop in Germany. They wanted to replace the whole LCD and glass at once - very costly quote ($400.00). I took it home and managed to get all the glass and glue off without damaging the LCD or camera. Cleaned the edge with alcohol it mounted perfectly and has held in place.

well the first time you change it, it's hard to get the glass off. you have to heat the glass up to about 180 degrees F to melt the glue under it . using a heat gun. not to hot though, because you will damage the LCD Digitizer under the glass and discolor it. ( that's what happen to me but barley noticeable) any way its is frustrating, but possible. If your just going to buy a new phone anyway because your phone is cracked, Just try it

I dont think it can be removed. I guess you could cut it out with an exacto knife or something. But the built in one works just fine so you would probably be better off returning the other screen protector or using it later.

There are two pieces of plastic that cover the screen protector. Pull #1 (thin plastic film will come off) and apply it to your phone. Then pull #2 (another thin plastic film will come off), and then smooth down to remove air bubbles.

There is a third film on the back of th replacement glass. It's a little harder to get started but it peels right off. It's easiest at one of the corners.

I have screen protector on my iPhone 4 which is possible cracked an I need to remove it before I can install the new one. The one I have now is really on very tight so my question is what or how do you recommend I remove the old one

I contacted the company and asked them this when my daughter's ScreenMate broke after a fall of several feet from the stockroom shelf to the stockroom floor (the ScreenMate broke, but her iPhone was fine!). They said to just carefully lift from 1 corner and the iloome should pop right off. She hasn't yet ordered a new screen protector, so we haven't tried removing the broken one yet.

I did the same thing. Even though its just the glass thats broken you cant separate it from the LCD. I bought this part but ended up having to send it back. You have to get the assembly that has all the parts. I found one for $130 I think here on Amazon.

You may need to consider that one of the casing pieces included in this set is precisely the backplate that goes glued in the back of the digitizer and screen glass, so if you don't have a brand new digitizer and screen glass, anyway you will need to detach the old glass and digitizer from the old casing, and that will be challenging as you said in your question.

I just did it, but it was not obvious. The people who say to remove the silicone cover first are right. The key is that you have to realize that the silicone cover is one big piece -- I kept trying to find a seam to separate it. Instead, hold the case as if you were looking at the phone, and bend back the silicone cover at the corners (away from you). Do that on all 4 corners of the screen -- you'll need to stretch it a bit, but it will come off. Then, you'll just have the hard inner case, which is opened by popping the 2 tabs on the side and the 1 at the top.

Use a piece of tape on the corner as a tab to pull it off. They come off very easily using this method.
