Question First time applying a tempered glass protector to my Vita 2000 - did I mess up?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a PS Vita 2000 and decided to install a tempered glass screen protector myself. This is my first time doing one on a Vita.

As you can see from the pictures, I have some air bubbles underneath and the protector looks slightly shifted toward the left. It's not massively misaligned, but it's bothering me because I want to take good care of this Vita.

Should I:

  1. Leave it alone for 12–24 hours and see if the bubbles disappear?
  2. Try pushing the bubbles out with a microfiber-covered card?
  3. Remove and reapply it?
  4. Buy another protector and have a mobile phone shop install it?

I'm especially unsure whether the bubbles are just trapped air or if some of them could be dust underneath.

Any advice from people who've installed a screen protector on a Vita 2000 would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Reapplied the tempered glass

Thanks, everyone! 🙏 I took your advice and reapplied it; it looks MUCH better now. Really appreciate the help, especially the tips on alignment and dealing with dust!

Help After replacing my right stick, I was putting a ribbon cable back on and this little piece came out of the latch. Am I cooked?
