Abstract

A screen protector installation tool includes a first portion, a second portion, and an elastic element. The first portion and the second portion each have corner alignment features. The second portion slidably engages the first portion to form a receiving area for receiving an electronic device between the corner alignment features to align the electronic device in the receiving area of the screen protector installation tool when one of the first portion and the second portion is moved relative to the other of the first portion and the second portion. The elastic element is configured to apply a force to move the one of the first portion and the second portion relative to the other of the first portion and the second portion to capture the electronic device in the receiving area between the corner alignment features.
