Abrégé
A screen protector installation machine uses a screen protector laminate to apply a screen protector to a cell phone. The laminate comprise a web that carries the screen protector and a backing layer. The laminate is carried by a lid coupled to a base and closable over the base. An impression in the base receives the cell phone. A first slider is carried by the lid and comprises a spool rotatable with respect to the lid. A tab of the backing layer is coupled to the spool. As the slider slides over the cell phone, the spool rotates to wind the backing layer around the spool to expose the screen protector. The lid properly positions and orients the screen protector over the mobile device. The lid is automatically lowered onto the base, and the screen protector is automatically lowered onto the mobile device, by movement of the first slider after the backing layer is removed.
