      • Place your iPhone screen-side down on a clean, flat work surface.

      • Lay a strip of tape around the perimeter of the back glass to protect the finish.

      • Stack coins around the perimeter of the back glass until you create a wall that's as tall as the rear camera protrusions.

      • Alternatively, you can use vise clamps around the perimeter of your device to set the new adhesive.

      • Place 3-4 heavy books squarely on top of your iPhone.

      • The coins may leave a slight impression on the bottom book cover, so don't use anything valuable.

      • Leave the books in place for about 30 minutes.

      • The pressure will help activate the adhesive.
