Choosing and applying your Fairphone screen protector

Screen protectors help your phone screen last as long as possible while matching your daily lifestyle. We design these premium glass protectors to fit your phone perfectly and offer filters tailored to how you use your device.


Fairphone screen protector filter options

Screen protector with regular filter

Available for: The Fairphone (Gen. 6).

  • Made with Xensation technology to handle scratches and minor falls easily.
  • Feels completely natural as a near-invisible regular protector.
  • Keeps your display safe and secure, while keeping visuals as natural and true to life as possible.

Screen protector with privacy filter

Available for: The Fairphone (Gen. 6), Fairphone 5, and Fairphone 4.

  • Reduces damages to your display glass.
  • Ensures that no one can see what's on your screen but you.

  • Provides 56° of vision: at a 28° angle it has decreased visibility, and at a 45° angle the visibility is fully filtered.
  • Maintains nearly unaffected visibility within those 56°, showing only a very light grey tint.

Screen protector with blue light filter

Available for: Fairphone 5 and Fairphone 4.

  • Reduces damages to your display glass.
  • Filters out blue light to protect your eyes from strain.
  • Lessens the influence of display usage on your sleep while maintaining your screen's true colors.

What you need before you begin

To ensure a smooth, bubble-free application, make sure you use a clean, quiet, and completely dust-free work surface.

Screen protectors are highly durable once applied, but they can only be used once. Take your time during installation to properly align the adhesive side.

How to apply your Fairphone screen protector

Follow the instructions in the video tutorial or use the step-by-step text guide below:

  1. Switch off your phone and remove its protective case.

  5. Remove the protective plastic backing layer from the screen protector to expose its active adhesive side.

    Depending on your model, the materials feel slightly different during installation:

    • The Fairphone (Gen. 6): The protective layer is flexible, and the screen protector glass is more rigid.
    • Fairphone 5: The screen protector glass is cut slightly smaller than its plastic backing layer.
    • Fairphone 4 & Fairphone 3(+): The plastic backing layer is rigid, and the screen protector glass is more flexible.

  6. With the adhesive side facing down, carefully line up the screen protector with the bottom edge of the screen.

  7. Slowly roll the screen protector flat against the screen, moving from the bottom edge up toward the top.
  8. Let go of the protector to allow it to fully adhere to the screen glass.
  9. Gently apply outward pressure with the microfiber screen wipe to push out any remaining air bubbles.
  10. Turn your phone back on, place it back into its protective case, and you are good to go!
