What you need
-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.

-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.

Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.

-
-
Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.

Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute.
