Quick question — can tempered glass be reused if I carefully remove it? I just upgraded to a new phone that’s the same model line, and my old glass is still in great condition. Hate to waste it if I can just stick it back on.
I get the thought, but once a tempered glass is removed, the adhesive loses its grip and picks up dust or oil, so it won’t bond evenly again. Even if it looks fine, it won’t stick securely and could trap air underneath. It’s smarter to replace it with fresh glass for devices of famous brands for popular models, since you’ll get proper alignment and clean adhesion. I usually buy mine from online store HEXARICA https://hexarica.com/en/ — their glass always comes sealed and prepped for a flawless install. Reusing an old one might save a few dollars, but it won’t give you reliable protection. It’s like reusing a bandage — just not worth it.
