2 tempered glass screen protectors

A scraper to remove bubbles on the screen protector

  • 2 x Tempered Glass Screen Protectors
  • 2 x Installation Tools (auto-alignment box)
  • 1 x Scraper
  • 1 x Manual
  • Cleaning tools: wet wipes, dry cloth, and dust absorber

Everything is packed to make your install quick and error-free.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Remove Your Old Protector
Start by gently peeling off any cracked or old screen protector.

Take your time — avoid scratching the screen

Step 2: Align the New Screen Protector
Next, insert one of the new screen protectors into the top part of the installation box.

Use the alignment holes so it locks perfectly into place

Step 3: Place Your Phone and Clean the Screen
Put your iPhone 15 Pro Max into the base of the installation box. Use the provided wet wipe, microfiber cloth, and dust absorber to clean the screen thoroughly.

Use a wet wipe to remove dirt, grease and etc.

After using the wet wipe, dry the screen completely with the microfiber cloth.

Dab or tap the sticker across the screen to lift off any leftover dust before installing the screen protector


Step 4: Close the Box
Close the lid.

Your phone is now sealed in and protected from any airborne dust during the next step.

Step 5: Pull the Release Film
Grab the orange pull tab and slide it smoothly. Wait around 20 seconds to let bubbles naturally push out. Then, press on the marked center (usually where the fingerprint reader icon is) to secure the center adhesion.

This automatically applies the screen protector, aligned and leveled by the tray system.

Step 6: Remove the Protective Layer
Peel off the top film from the screen protector.

Your iPhone should now look clean, clear, and polished.

Step 7: Fix Any Remaining Bubbles
If you see any bubbles left, use the included scraper to push them gently toward the edges.

Apply light, even pressure—don’t press too hard.

Step 8: Final Touch — Test Sensitivity
Give the screen a final wipe with the cloth, then unlock your phone, swipe, and type. 

Check if the screen is still responsive — it should feel just like the bare screen.

✅ Conclusion

Installing the WSKEN screen protector is quick and easy. With the tools provided—wet wipe, cloth, dust absorber, and scraper—you can get a clean, bubble-free result in just a few steps.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants a smooth, stress-free installation. No dust, no mess, just a clear and protected screen for your iPhone 15 Pro Max.

This library is lightweight, fast, and supports SSH1106 out of the box.

Programming the Arduino

Here’s a simple sketch to display "HELLO WORLD" on OLED, or you can download the code HERE.
#include <GyverOLED.h>

GyverOLED oled;

void setup() {
  oled.init();  // Initialize the OLED
  oled.clear(); // Clear the display
  oled.setScale(2); // Set text size slightly smaller
  oled.setCursor(10, 2); // Set cursor position
  oled.print("HELLO WORLD"); // Display text
  oled.update(); // Refresh the display
}

void loop() {
  // Nothing needed in loop for a simple test
}
Open Arduino IDE and copy-paste the code

πŸ§ͺ Test

Once the code is uploaded and your wiring is correct, you should see "HELLO WORLD". Displayed on the OLED in white or blue, depending on your module. If nothing shows up, double-check your I²C connections and OLED address.
