Method for using glass touch screen protector

Abstract

Method is provided which includes mounting a touch screen protector to the front face of a portable electronic device. The front face has a declining surface portion extending along the outer perimeter thereof. The touch screen protector includes a planar sheet having a front side and a back side, an outer perimeter corresponding in shape to the device, and a transparent window portion. An opaque band is applied around the perimeter of the planar sheet, surrounding the transparent window portion. An adhesive layer is applied to the back side of the planar sheet for mounting the touch screen protector on the device. The planar sheet is sufficiently stiff such that a portion of the glass touch screen protector hangs over the declining surface portion of the front face of the portable electronic device when mounted thereon.
