How to install a BodyGuardz skin on an iPhone 4S

2012-02-16
hey guys it's Jason Cipriani a scene at how to contributor and today we're going to cover how to apply a body guards protective film to the iphone 4s the process should be pretty similar across all the devices at bodyguard supports but today we're specifically looking at the iphone 4s so in our bodyguards kit came to a set of two protective films for the device I've already applied the skin to the back this one is for the front and here it is for the sides we're going to go ahead and set this stuff aside and begin applying the film to the front now because I've already applied it to the back of course I've gone ahead and washed off the device dried it washed my hands and made sure no fingerprints or pieces of dust or dirt were on the device itself and the new application process for bodyguards uses a gel instead of a liquid or the dry application like they may have in the past and most of you probably struggled with the gel makes a little bit easier it's a little bit more forgiving and the process seems to go by pretty quick so let's take a look at it what we'll do is we'll peel off the backside of the Front's protector I get it to separate here there we go and then like I said it uses a jail now so what we'll do is we'll take the application gel and just put a couple globs on the protector itself you don't want to put too much and then making sure not to put a fingerprint or dust on the protector itself go ahead and smear the gel around once you get everything covered we're going to pick it up reply to the device now you can still do the dry application process but that will limit you in being able to move it around and set it in the right spot once you set it with the dry application that's where the film is going to be with the jail you can kind of slide it around and get it lined up and if you do for whatever reason have to take the jail or the film all the way off put a little bit more gel on the film and reapply it it's not a problem all right so that seems to be a fairly good spot we're lined up what we'll do now is with the cleaning cloth and just a credit card type device we're going to squeegee out all the excess gel underneath as well as any of the air bubbles of course start in the middle work your way out get rid of all that extra jail that's all there is to it I'm going to go ahead and leave the top film on for right now I don't want to peel it off and have a chance of peeling the film off with it as well bodyguardz recommends you wait overnight until you put the device in a pocket or a purse after having applied it and you really take 72 hours to completely cure and dry up and you won't have any issues with it after that so that's how easy it is to apply a bodyguards film to the iphone 4s make sure to join us at how to cnet com for more great tech tips thanks for watching you
