ZooGue iPhone 5 Screen Shield Installation

ZooGue released its iPhone 5 front screen shield for only $9.99. In this video, we look at how the installation for this shield works.

Note: In my first install attempt, a giant air bubble formed around a dust particle that stuck to the shield. After contacting ZooGue, I received a replacement shield 7 days later for no cost and no questions asked.

Stay tuned for my full review of the ZooGue iPhone 5 Screen Shield, which will be posted soon.
