Abstract

An overlay applicator tray including a cradle including a device slot configured to hold an electronic device. The overlay applicator tray also can include an overlay applicator. The overlay applicator can include an overlay layer and an adhesive release liner. The overlay layer can include an adhesive side configured to be adhered to a screen of the electronic device. The adhesive release liner can be removably attached to the adhesive side of the overlay layer. The overlay applicator tray additionally can include an alignment piece coupling the cradle to the overlay applicator. The alignment piece can be configured to align the overlay layer of the overlay applicator with the screen as the overlay layer is applied to the screen when the electronic device is held in the device slot. The overlay applicator can be pre-aligned and attached during manufacturing with the device slot of the cradle using the alignment piece. The overlay applicator tray further can include a pull tab configured to be pulled to remove the adhesive release liner from the adhesive side of the overlay layer and expose the adhesive side of the overlay layer. Other embodiments are described.
