Those out there that own an iPhone (or any smartphone for that matter) know just how easily the screens can become scratched, so screen protector installation is now being implemented at Apple stores.
A new initiative by screen protector manufacturer Belkin, the ScreenCare+ application system will be available exclusively at Apple retail locations. The system works by taking the guesswork out of screen protector installation by placing the accessory precisely in place by means of a small machine.
While the service was first rolled out in Japan, it's now launching in the United States to provide users with more peace of mind regarding their devices. The service can be utilized by simply purchasing a Belkin screen protector; a sales associate will then clean the phone and apply it on the spot, precisely.
