Many years ago, in a foreign Apple Store, I watched as a consultant glued protective glass onto a recently purchased iPhone. I clearly remembered that the process looked completely different from how many people imagine it.
The iPhone was placed in a cast metal form, on top of which glass was cleverly installed. A couple of simple movements, smoothing out the “bubbles” – and the client left with a perfectly evenly glued protection.
In October, COMMO, a Yandex Market brand, began selling a similar gluing system. Together with COMMO protective glass For iPhone, a special disposable form is supplied for a specific iPhone model. It makes the process easier and allows you to achieve the same results that I saw in the Apple store, but at home.
Naturally, we mightn’t pass by. We tested this glass on our iPhone 15 Pro, we report.
The COMMO glass kit includes everything you need
A decent box contains a plastic mold with glass already inserted inside, a mini microfiber, a damp cloth, a cardboard spatula for smoothing and a sticker for removing dust.
The shape corresponds to the size of the iPhone model for which you bought the glass. I’m not sure if it can be reused, so I’ll call it disposable.
There are detailed step-by-step instructions on the inside. I would even say overly detailed. It may cause uncertainty among those who doubt their capabilities or have already had the sad experience of gluing conventional protective glass.
So keep the box nearby. There are also pictures if anything in the text is unclear. In fact, the process is very simple, it’s just that Yandex clearly decided to go overboard with the instructions.
How to glue COMMO glass on iPhone
1. Open the plastic case and remove all additional accessories, cleaning kit and spatula.
2. Turn off your smartphone and remove the case: this way it will fit tightly into the frame, and dust particles will be better visible when the screen is not turned off.
3. Place your smartphone in a colored frame.
4. Unpack the cleaning kit and wipe the smartphone screen with an alcohol wipe to degrease it.
5. Wipe the surface of the smartphone dry with microfiber. Try not to touch the screen with your fingers to avoid leaving fingerprints.
6. Remove remaining dust particles from the smartphone screen with an adhesive sticker. Check that the screen is perfectly clean.
7. Check that the glass, which is located on the top of the plastic case, is correctly installed in the guide grooves of the applicator cover. On the left side there are short grooves, on the right there is a long one and two short ones.
8. Pull the colored part of the film out to the dotted line so that the line is flush with the edge of the lid. Close the lid tightly.
9. Pull the remaining part of the film on the outside so that the glass sticks to the smartphone screen.
10. Without opening the lid, swipe your finger in the direction indicated on the sticker – from bottom to top.
Wait 20 seconds for the glue to spread over the surface of the smartphone.
11. Open the applicator cover and pull the top of the film to remove it from the protective glass.
12. If there are dust particles left under the glass, you can remove them with a sticker, and air bubbles can be smoothed out with a spatula.
How was it
Thanks to super detailed instructions, we got it right the first time. They specifically asked a person who had never glued protective glass to do everything.
The glass fits perfectly on the iPhone 15 Pro display. At the same time, I saw reviews on the Market where they complained that even the form did not help to stick everything evenly. Some people have it crooked, while others write that there are “bubbles” left on the edges.
We did not have such problems, but this, of course, does not guarantee that you will not have them. Perhaps not everyone followed those super-detailed instructions. Or someone comes across a marriage.
One way or another, there is nothing to complain regarding. Fits perfectly, does not affect the image, does not spoil the appearance in any way, the finger glides well (there is an oleophobic coating).
Bottom line: a great idea, albeit at an overprice
Yes, it is twice as expensive as similar glasses on AliExpress without a frame shape. The result, IMHO, is worth it if you snag a good discount.
The cost of COMMO iPhone screen protectors is constantly changing and depends on the weather, the position of the planets, algorithms and the model of your iPhone. At the time of writing this text, the glass we tested for the iPhone 15 Pro cost 1,814 rubles. A little expensive.
At the same time, the same glass for other models of iPhone 15, iPhone 14 and further down the list for some reason can cost more than 2 times cheaper. For example, 858 rubles for iPhone 15 or 772 rubles for iPhone 13 mini.
Overall better go to the COMMO section page and see for yourself. If the price doesn’t suit you, throw it in Favorites and wait for the decline.
