Tempered glass is impact-resistant and often used to cover delicate surfaces such as phone screens. If your glass screen shatters, you can lift the tempered glass screen protector to uncover an undamaged surface beneath it. Tempered glass is usually held by an adhesive, which should be heated first to loosen it. Then, slowly peel away the thin shee...
Heat the glass with a hair dryer on a low setting for 15 seconds.
The heat loosens the adhesive behind the glass, making it easier to remove. However, tempered glass should be heated briefly and only with low heat to avoid damaging any components behind it. Get the glass nice and toasty but not hot to the touch.
If a hair dryer isn’t available, you can try another heat source. Leaving it near a hot stove, open flame, furnace, or in a steamy bathroom may encourage the adhesive to melt.
Lift 1 corner of the glass with your fingernails.
Dig down with your fingernails until you find the bottom of the tempered glass. You should be able to barely get 1 corner away from the surface underneath it. Avoid rushing, however. Lift the corner carefully, but don’t attempt to peel off the rest of the glass.
Try all the corners. You can usually find 1 that lifts away from what is underneath it. If none of them come up, heat the glass a second time to loosen the glue.
Warm up the glass for 15 seconds with low heat.
Use a device such as a hair dryer, if you have one. Heat the glass until it feels warm all over but not hot to the touch. This should loosen the glue holding the glass in place.
While you might be able to warm up the glass by holding it close to a match or lighter, you probably won’t be able to get the entire sheet to a consistent temperature and may damage the components beneath it. You can try heating up 1 corner to make it easier to lift.
Use the pointed end of a toothpick to pry up 1 corner of the glass.
It’s important to make sure the toothpick is angled correctly so it doesn’t damage whatever is below the tempered glass. Choose 1 corner and hold the toothpick flat beside it. Slide the tip of the toothpick underneath the piece of glass, then pull it up until you are able to slide your fingers underneath it.
Avoid angling a pointy toothpick downwards. If you’re removing tempered glass from a phone, for instance, you will end up scratching the screen beneath it.
Heat the glass for 15 seconds until its adhesive is loosened.
A hair dryer on a low setting or another similar object makes for a good, safe heat source. Get the glass warm but don’t overheat it. It shouldn’t burn your fingers when you touch it.
Roll a piece of duct tape around 2 of your fingers.
Duct tape seems to have an unlimited number of uses, so it’s hardly surprising you can use it to take off a tough piece of glass. Wrap the tape tightly around your fingers. Make sure the sticky part of the tape faces outwards.
Doing this with your index and middle fingers may be the easiest way, but you can use other fingers if you feel comfortable doing so.
Press the tape to a corner of the glass.
Nov 5, 2020 · Tear off a piece of duct tape. With the sticky side facing out, roll the tape around two fingers. Press your taped fingers against the corner of the screen protector. Pull the protector up far enough to get your finger or a plastic card underneath. Remove the screen protector.

Use a hairdryer on low heat and move it over the surface of the protector. Once the adhesive softens, use the plastic card to lift and remove the protector. Step 1: Use a heat gun for 15 seconds on the lowest setting to begin warming the screen protector. Hold it from about 6 inches away to loosen the adhesive.
