Should You Use a Screen Protector?

Phone accessory retailers often carry screen protectors, which adhere directly to the phone’s touchscreen surface. Our experts recommend investing in tempered glass screen protectors, which deflect scratches more effectively than plastic screen protectors.

Screen protectors’ level of defense against damaging impacts is limited. While adhesive screen protectors effectively shield phones from direct force on the touch-screen, they don’t hold up as well when the phone is impacted from the sides or corners.

A tempered glass screen protector should be used in conjunction with a case.
