We’re big fans of BodyGuardz products here, whether it’s their screen protectors or protective skins. If you haven’t already got a screen protector on your iPhone, then you should take a look at their ScreenGuardz Pure + Crown premium tempered glass screen protector.

Now, I know what many of you might be thinking: You’ve never been able to get a screen protector to install without getting it on your phone crooked or with dust underneath, but BodyGuardz’ installation is so simple that you truly can’t mess it up.

The kit comes with everything you need — a recyclable tray to hold your phone during the installation, a microfiber cloth for cleaning your screen, dust removal strips in case something manages to get between the screen and your phone during the install, the crown, and instructions.

You start by wiping your screen down until it’s clean with the included microfiber cloth. Then you lay the plastic tray down — it has the screen protector attached to it. In order to start the installation, you remove the strip #1 which exposes the sticky side of the protector.

Then you lay the plastic tray over your phone. There’s no guesswork — the protector will now be perfectly aligned over your phone’s screen.

Then you remove the tray, and there you have it — one perfectly placed tempered glass screen protector. If you usually use a case on your phone, this may be where you decide to stop …

… but if you have a skin on your phone or you don’t use a case, the included Crown will perfectly finish the installation so that the screen protector doesn’t end short of the sides of your iPhone.

I usually have a case on my phone that comes up the sides a bit, so (as pretty as it is) I removed the Crown. The screen protector is crystal clear, feels just like the original screen on your iPhone, and it’s a great way to keep your phone screen from getting scratched when it’s in your pocket or bag.
