Clean the display thoroughly, work in a dust-free space, line the protector up carefully with the edges, then press bubbles out gently from the center outward.

Clean, dust-free preparation makes the biggest difference to how the installation turns out.

• Clean the display thoroughly and remove any residue completely
• Choose as dust-free a space as possible, such as a bathroom right after a hot shower
• Line the protector up precisely with the edges of the housing before placing it
• Press from the center outward so bubbles are pushed evenly toward the edges

With some materials, such as self-healing films, any tiny remaining bubbles tend to disappear on their own within a few days.

For the XCover 7, we recommend the BROTECT AirGlass: an ultra-thin glass film with 9H hardness, high clarity, and an anti-fingerprint coating.

The BROTECT AirGlass is one of the most popular screen protectors for the XCover 7. It combines the scratch resistance of tempered glass (9H) with a notably thin and light build that's more flexible than standard glass films.

• High transparency for a crisp, sharp display
• Anti-fingerprint coating that resists smudges
• Flexible adhesive layer for bubble-free application

Since the XCover 7 has a flat display, the glass film sits flush edge-to-edge without lifting at the corners.

Yes, our tempered glass and film protectors for the XCover 7 are cut close to the edge and work with most standard cases.

A screen protector and a case need to work together so the case doesn't lift and touch response isn't affected.

• The cut ends just short of the frame, so standard cases sit flush against it
• Cutouts for the camera, sensors, and speaker are already accounted for
• With especially bulky rugged cases, it can help to fit the case first before applying the protector

Given the XCover 7's rugged housing, several glass protectors in our range are specifically designed to be case-friendly.

Yes, the BROTECT Privacy film blocks side views from around 60 degrees and also guards against scratches and blue light.

The BROTECT Privacy protector darkens the display as soon as someone looks at it from the side, keeping messages, codes, or sensitive content private on the bus, train, or in an open-plan office.

• Blocks side views from roughly a 60-degree angle
• Scratch protection via an additional hard coating
• Reduces blue light emission by about 35-60%

Viewed straight on, the display stays fully readable, and touch response is unaffected by the film.

For everyday use, we recommend tempered glass since it absorbs impacts better. A thinner film suits you if maximum touch sensitivity matters more.

Both materials guard reliably against scratches, but they behave differently in a drop. Tempered glass with 9H hardness absorbs impact energy and helps prevent cracks in the original display.

• Tempered glass: stronger impact protection, pleasant feel, slightly thicker
• Screen protector film: ultra-thin, highly flexible, usually cheaper

Both options are available for the XCover 7. If you use the device outdoors or on the job, a glass film like AirGlass is generally the safer choice.

The ScreenLeaf Clear screen protector is a film: thin, flexible and reliably scratch-resistant. For extra drop protection, tempered glass is the better choice.

Tempered glass is more rigid and usually offers better protection against impacts and drops, while films like ScreenLeaf Clear reliably reduce everyday scratches and abrasion.

If you want a very thin, flexible solution with precise touch response, ScreenLeaf Clear is a great fit; if drop risk is a bigger concern, it's worth also considering tempered glass.

No, touch functionality remains fully precise when the film is applied correctly.

The surface of ScreenLeaf Clear is smooth and thin, so touches and swipe gestures are detected reliably, just as usual.

This assumes a clean, bubble-free application with no debris trapped underneath the film.

Clean the display thoroughly, work in a dust-free environment, and apply the film slowly, pressing air out from the center towards the edges.

Start by cleaning the display thoroughly and working in as dust-free an environment as possible, so no particles get trapped under the film.

Peel off the liner and apply ScreenLeaf Clear slowly from one edge, pressing air outwards from the center as you go.

The film is a thin, transparent plastic layer (PET) with a smooth surface. The liner is made from 100% recycled PET (PCR-PET).

ScreenLeaf Clear is based on a thin, transparent plastic layer (PET) with a smooth, everyday-use surface.

The liner — the backing sheet peeled off before application — is made from 100% recycled PET (PCR-PET).
