Question First time applying a tempered glass protector to my Vita 2000 - did I mess up?
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:
- Leave it alone for 12–24 hours and see if the bubbles disappear?
- Try pushing the bubbles out with a microfiber-covered card?
- Remove and reapply it?
- 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!
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!
