At Imfixed, we know just how important your iPhone screen is. It’s the main interface for everything you do on your device, so it deserves solid protection. That’s why using a high-quality iPhone screen protector is essential. Whether you’ve just had your screen repaired by us or you’re trying to avoid damage in the first place, a screen guard is your best friend.
The Apple iPhone is known for its sleek and minimalist design, but that also makes it more vulnerable to scratches and cracks. Adding a tempered glass screen protector or even a high-grade plastic film can help preserve the screen’s condition. If your phone takes a fall or gets scraped by your keys or coins, the screen guard absorbs the impact, saving you from costly repairs.
When it comes to screen protectors, you’ve got two main options: tempered glass and plastic film. Both have pros and cons, and we’ll walk you through each to help you make the best choice. At the end of the day, though, we always recommend investing in proper protection, especially if you want to avoid frequent trips to a repair shop.
Let’s take a deeper look at the benefits of screen protectors and review some of the best ones available in 2021.
Are Screen Protectors Worth It?
Absolutely. We've seen countless iPhones come through our shop with preventable screen damage. Here’s why we stand by screen protectors:
-
Scratch Protection: Everyday items like coins or keys can leave permanent marks. A screen guard acts as a sacrificial barrier.
-
Impact Resistance: Especially with tempered glass, your phone can survive minor drops without suffering screen damage.
-
Cost-Effective: A decent protector costs far less than a screen replacement, which you’ll definitely want to avoid.
-
Touch Sensitivity: The best protectors won’t affect how your screen feels or responds.
-
Resale Value: Keep your iPhone in great shape for better value if you plan to sell or trade it.
- Custom Features: Some protectors offer privacy filters, blue light blocking, or anti-glare tech.
Top 5 iPhone Screen Protectors for 2021
1. Magglass Privacy Screen Protector for iPhone 11 Pro
This one’s a game changer. It doesn’t just protect your screen, it also shields your content from nosy neighbours. With its anti-spy finish, you can use your phone worry-free in public. Plus, the 9H double-tempered glass ensures top-notch durability. It’s easy to apply, fingerprint-resistant, and doesn’t affect screen clarity or touch response. A great all-rounder.
2. Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Spigen is a well-known name for a reason. This protector works well with iPhone X, XS and other models. It features a 9H hardness rating, crystal-clear visibility, and comes with an auto-alignment kit for easy installation. You get two protectors in the pack, making it good value. It also has an oleophobic coating to resist fingerprints.
3. Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector
If you want premium protection, this is worth the investment. Thanks to its rounded edges and liquid dispersion tech, it not only guards your screen but can also fill in light scratches. The UV curing process ensures a bubble-free application, though the install process is a bit technical. It’s made from chemically treated glass and comes with a 10-year warranty, not something you see every day.
4. Moshi IonGlass Screen Protector
Moshi's IonGlass goes a step further by being atomically strengthened, offering more durability than standard tempered glass. It’s also ultra-thin and provides privacy shielding. With an oleophobic coating, your screen stays cleaner for longer. It may cost more, but it’s backed by a 10-year global warranty and is easy to apply.
5. Otterbox Alpha Glass Screen Protector
Otterbox is already famous for its cases, and its screen protectors are equally tough. This one uses anti-shatter glass to protect against cracks and scratches. It's super clear and touch responsive. While it lacks fingerprint resistance and dust-proof tech, it’s still a solid option for durability.
More Than Just Protection
In today’s world, screen protectors do more than guard against damage. You can now find ones with:
-
Anti-blue light tech for eye comfort
-
Privacy filters to keep your information safe
- Anti-glare coatings for easier outdoor use
We always recommend choosing a protector that fits your lifestyle whether that’s maximum protection, better privacy, or reduced eye strain.
