Tablet case and screen protector fitted professionally. No bubbles, no dust, no wonky alignment. Your tablet left properly protected and looking smart.
The Protective Gear That Actually Protects
You've spent £300-800 on a tablet. One drop and the screen's smashed. Repair costs more than the tablet's worth.
Case and screen protector prevent this. But only if they're fitted properly.
💡 Pro tip: Tempered glass screen protectors can save your actual screen. They crack instead of your tablet screen when dropped. Replace a £25 protector instead of a £200 screen.
Why This Is Harder Than It Looks
Screen protectors seem simple. They're not. One speck of dust = permanent bubble. Slightly wonky = annoys you forever.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit these yourself? Here's how to get good results:
📱 Screen protector application
- Clean bathroom, run hot shower for 5 minutes to settle dust
- Clean tablet screen with supplied wipe
- Dry with microfibre cloth
- Align protector carefully - use the guides if included
- Drop it on (don't slide it), press centre, let it spread
- Push any bubbles to the edges with a card
🛡️ Case fitting
- Make sure it's the right case for your model (surprisingly easy to get wrong)
- Usually corners go on first, then snap the rest
- Check all ports are accessible
- Verify buttons click properly
- Camera lens should be completely uncovered
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Touching the adhesive side of the protector
- Not cleaning screen properly first
- Trying to reposition after it's stuck (usually makes it worse)
- Forcing case parts that don't want to fit (wrong model case)
- Leaving protective film on the protector (there's often film on both sides)
💡 Pro trick: If you get a bubble, work it to the edge with a credit card wrapped in microfibre cloth. Small bubbles often disappear on their own after 24 hours.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🧼 Got one with installation guides? Those alignment tools and cleaning wipes that come with protectors actually help. Use them - they're not just packaging.
Privacy screen protectors? These darken the screen when viewed from an angle - good for working on trains or in public. They're thicker and can be trickier to fit perfectly.
Keyboard cases? iPad keyboard cases especially can be fiddly - magnets need to align properly, keys need to pair via Bluetooth. I can set all that up.
Old tablet with cracked screen? Screen protector won't fix cracks but it will stop them spreading and prevent bits of glass coming off on your fingers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just fit a screen protector myself?
You can, but they're fiddly and you usually only get one shot. One bit of dust or misalignment and you've got a permanent bubble or wonky protector. Glass ones cost £20-30 - bit annoying to waste. I do them in a clean environment and get them perfect first time.
Why would I pay someone to fit a case?
Honestly, most cases are easy enough to fit yourself. But some expensive leather cases or keyboard cases have specific ways they need to go on, and getting it wrong can damage them. Also, if you're paying me to fit a screen protector anyway, I'll chuck the case fitting in as part of the same visit.
Do you sell cases and protectors or do I need to buy them?
You buy them - I just fit them. You'll know what colour/style case you want, and which screen protector works with your specific tablet model. I can advise on good options if you're not sure what to get.
What if there's already a cracked screen protector on there?
I'll remove the old one carefully (sometimes they shatter into tiny pieces, it's fine), clean the screen properly, then apply the new one. Removing old protectors is actually the trickier bit - they can be stubborn.
Will the screen protector affect the touch sensitivity?
Good quality glass protectors don't affect it at all. Cheap plastic ones can feel slightly different. Tempered glass is always better - feels just like the real screen and protects way better if you drop it.
