For a qualitative result, we need the following items: microfiber (which can be purchased in the nearest optics), water sprayer (you can use something like that, but in order to spray water well), plastic card (it can be a cryboard or discount card), paper Towels or napkins, well, of course, a protective film.

2. Preparation of the phone to film sticking. That is, before sticking the protective film, we wipe the tablet screen using the microfiber so that there are no stains, hairs, dust and so on.

3. Now we take our sprayer, and we apply so much water so that it completely covered the tablet screen (about the same as shown in the photo).

4. The film has two protective coatings: the first is the side of the adhesive layer of the film and the second - from the front side. We remove the first coating and carefully lean it with a pre-moistened screen.

It is difficult to present modern life without such electronic gadgets as smartphones or tablets. Many literally do not let them out of the hands. Manufacturers also try their best, producing more and more. Some of them reach 1000 dollars and more.

Specially processed safety glass and plastic film to protect your device

Insofar as touch screen Such devices are their main part, it is precisely the main load on using the device. Smartphones and tablets with often wear in bags and pockets, where they come into contact with outsiders; Gadgets are put on the table the screen down, which is why scratches appear. As a result, the screen not only loses its appearance, and some damage can significantly affect both functionality. Explosion is the most vulnerable part. When a smartphone or tablet falls, a fragile display is easy. Repair will be very expensive. Many users think about the protection of electronic assistants from this kind of damage. This is especially true of the owners of flagship devices. After all, significantly cheaper to protect the screen in advance than then lay out the round sum for its repair. Today, users are offered two main types of protection: plastic film and specially processed protective glass. Let's try to understand the difference between these protective facilities in comparison.

Protective film

It is a piece of transparent plastic with a thickness of several tenth millimeters. It consists of at least two layers: lower silicone, which is responsible for mounting to the screen, and the top protective. More expensive films have additional layers protecting from ultraviolet screen emission.

By type of surface there is a glossy, matte and mirror film. The most popular - glossy, it is practically imperceptible and does not distort the colors. Of the possible flaws - glare with bright light, it scratches faster and collects fingerprints. Matte film is deprived of some drawbacks: almost not visible imprints, it is less susceptible to scratches, it does not glare completely. But at the same time, the image quality deteriorates slightly: it becomes grainy and less saturated. The least common look of the film is a mirror. The main problem is the reflection of objects: the screen turns into essence, in the mirror.

If we consider the size, there are films under concrete device And universal. In the first case, you can stick the film without pre-training On the screen only the "native" device. Universal film can be cut under the screen of any tablet or smartphone. It has a slightly large size. This option is best suited for. The design of the film allows you to protect the screen from scratches, but practically does not protect it from shocks.

Safety glass

A more modern method of protecting your device. She is able to save not only from scratches, but also from shocks and even from moisture. It is performed from a particularly durable tempered glass and has a lot of layers.

The lowest - silicone, with it, the protective glass is attached to the display. The next layer is firming, keeps fragments of broken glass together, fighting your hands from the cut. The next is the anti-glare layer, it helps save the brightness of the pictures even with bright lighting. The next is the protective layer, protects from scratches and. The last layer has a special oleophobic coating to protect against moisture and fingerprints, thanks to it to clean the screen is much easier.

If you suddenly drop the device with a glass protective screen down, only ten-tetlast glass will be broken, and you do not have to change the screen worth hundreds of dollars. The thickness of the glass layer reaches from 0.1 to 1 mm, the thicker, the more powerful protection. Many glass seems too cumbersome, but it almost imperceptibly and absolutely does not worsen the sensitivity of the sensor.

Sticker protection

This in most cases can be made independently. The film stick is somewhat harder than glass. With awkward movements, it can be covered with bubbles, spoiling the appearance of the device. Therefore, if you are an inexperienced user, it is better to entrust this operation to the store specialists where you buy protection. If in this case the film will be damaged, the sellers will have to be replaced.

Paste the protective glass easier because it is usually intended for specific model Devices. It is possible to cope with the glass yourself. In both cases, you should take care that the screen is clean. Even a small dust can cause the formation of bubbles.

Now, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the protective film and glass, you can choose what is more suitable for you. Glass is noticeably more expensive, but provides more powerful protection. The film will save only from scratches, but has a universal format. If you are the owner of a rare gadget model, you do not have another choice.

And what method do you use? Does he help your device? We will be happy to read your comments.

When using the tablet, the housing or screen from random strikes, scratches, chips or dirt is sometimes damaged.

Film and cover protect the tablet from mechanical damageAnd the means from scratches and for cleaning update its appearance.

Get rid of scratches - this is a figurative expression. Small and medium scratches cease to be visible due to the fact that during polishing the sharp edges of the scratches are grouped and stepping. The middle scratches are filled with the material that was complained, and is fixed there.

As a result, the scratch becomes virtually invisible to the human eye, because we will see not the "funnel" itself, i.e. Scratch, and reflective edges. But it looks like a scratch before and after polishing, if you look through special equipment.

Important!

  1. If the screen / tablet is new, you should not delete scratches. Shallow scratches and scuffs perfectly hides the anti-reflective protective film. The film should be matte, not glossy, and with a low threshold of transparency (the fact that the film is transparent, the noticeable scratches).
  2. If a oleophobic coating is present on the screen of your tablet, when polished anyone Proposed in the article way this coating will be erased! What does it mean? The screen will be slightly "muddy", i.e. Matte, there will be no glossy coating, in which the finger will slide easily. You will also be imprints as on ordinary screens.
  3. The author of the article and the site administration remove with themselves any responsibility for the incorrect actions of readers who may cause a dust of the lost time, ooleophobic coating or the appearance of new scores and divorces on the screen. Those. If we lose - they themselves are to blame;)

1. Remove scratches from unprotected screens

All methods described below are suitable for polishing scuffs, small and medium scratches.

You can polish an unprotected screen without much difficulty, exactly how to scratch it. There are several effective polishing tools, which particular select you - to solve you.

1.1 Pasta Guo

The ideal means in terms of availability / efficacy is a well-known GOI paste jewelers.

This green alien can be sold in such round boxes or immediately by storage. We apply to a microfiber cloth or a cotton napkin a little paste, and three on the screen. It is not necessary to push on the screen very much, you need to rub without fanaticism, but then wipe the hole. It is not necessary to hurry anywhere, you can take breaks. Depending on the nature and depth of scratches, it can take from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Periodically look at the area that polished to see the result. When you get rid of scratches, wipe the screen with another microfiber cloth, only dry and clean to get rid of the paste on the screen. Hands should also be washed - after all, this is chemistry.

1.2 Paste-polyroli (for disks, cars, etc.)

Various polishes will cope with very small scratches and light losses (DISPLEX, DURSOL and them like). With the help of them, you can not only stick the scratches, but also "refresh" the display, giving it the factory shine. Before starting to polish the display of the tablet, practice on an old unnecessary smartphone or phone, or on an unnecessary scratched CD / DVD disk.

The principle of using the polyroli is simple:

  • We put the connectors and speakers in scotch so that the paste does not get there;
  • We apply to a cotton cloth or cotton disc polyrolol, and gently rub on the screen. Usually it is not necessary to polish for a long time, several minutes;
  • Will erase the paste, look at the result if the scratches remained, repeat the procedure again, the accompanying of a little more effort during friction.

1.3 Toothpaste

In the extreme case, if you do not get a polyroli, no gay paste, you can use the toothpaste, and even better with a dental powder (humid naturally). You should not use gel or bleaching pasta, take the most ordinary. We apply on a soft cloth, three, check the result, and again three. Do not forget to close the connectors from the paste. You should also understand that against serious scratches toothpaste powerless. It will not be superfluous to practice on the disk.

2. For the tablet with a secure screen (Gorilla Glass)

Suitable for screens from tempered glass, as well as polishing very deep scratches.

Tempered glass is also subject to scratches. For example, you managed not to leave traces on the screen from the nail. But there may be quite real scratches after exposure to glass of solid and small particles, for example, sand. Means applicable to unprotected screens are not suitable for tempered glass - after all, if there is a resistance to damage, then with rubbing the screen of the toothpaste Gorilla Glass will definitely cope with the maximum effect that you get the tablet, from which the toothpaste carries, and all scratches will remain in place. Therefore, it is necessary to use more "hard" methods.

If you have one small scratch on the Gorilla Glass screen - leave it in peace. Stick the protective film, or forget about the scratch. If you start polish - you can say goodbye to the oleophobic coating, i.e. You only spoil the expensive glass. Another thing is that the screen will be very highly scratched, and you will have a choice - to replace the screen (flies in a penny), or polish it. If you spoil such a screen, even though it will not feel sorry, because they still were going to replace it.

2.1 Grinding machine + gay paste

The advantage of the grinding machine in front of the hands of a person - she has faster turns. If there is no grinders, you can use a drill.

We make a polishing circle (roller) using a sponge, and a microfiber cloth. We appreciate the gay paste, and we work on small turns. Not in a hurry, we do everything gradually, we look at the result. Long on one site, do not delay in order not to overheat the glass.

2.2 The smallest sandpaper

This method is suitable only for the most accurate, as well as those who have "straight hands." Training on other surfaces is also required.

  • It is necessary to find the smallest abrasive paper, with a grain of 4000.
  • Next, by analogy with the previous point, you need to build a polishing roller, we will not polish not the paste of the goy, but a fine-grained emery.
  • It is necessary to work with small turns, and very often check the resulting result.

After processing the screen with sandpaper, it will become very matte, dim. To add it the brilliance and freshness, we use the paste of the goy or polyrolla. Under the end you need to wipe the screen with clean and dry microfiber.
