ZTE Grand S2 (S251) Screenguard hack.

Screen-guard for ZTE Grand S2 (S251) Indian version.

Presently on 5 Feb 2015 no pre-cut screen guard was available for this phone.
here are 3 simple hacks you can use for the time being until screen-guard is available.

1) use the one which comes pre-installed. 
Instead of being quick to peel of the lamination on the screen use it until you can get a decent replacement. The lamination is covered with some printed stuff from ZTE.

To erase the printed stuff best is nail polish remover.
process: take a little nail polish remover on cotton. (little means just a little bit) use light handed strokes to clean the printing and clean the remaining with dry tissue paper.

2) buy a cheap good quality screen-guard for bigger phones
6 inch ones like Xperia Z ultra , Note 3, I bought AMZER screen guard for LG-Gflex. for 49 bucks from flipkart, other sites like snapdeal, shopclues etc always have some sale going on. take out lamination and stick it on bigger screen-guard. draw outline with a CD-marker of size and cut away excess using sharp-scissors.

Note: You will be tempted to use blade for cutting the screen-guard. but telling you from experience use Scissors , Very sharp one, preferably new ones. trick here is not to destroy the edge else screen-guard will never stick properly. 

Note: if you cannot stick screen-guard in one go. use tape to lift from edge. if some dust particles are stuck between screen-guard and screen use tape again to pick it up. this takes patience and you will be able to install a perfect screen guard with no dust or bubbles.

3) Redmi Note screen guard is closest to ZTE grand S2 which need a very small trimming at edges and over sensor. use redmi note screen guard generally sold for 99 at Flipkart, MRP 179 and I picked 2 in deal of the day for 49 each.

Tip:: use another cheap screen guard for back too. else aluminium finish picks up scratches pretty easily especially if you kept key in the same pocket by mistake.
