I Broke 17 Different iPhone 12 Screen Protectors. Which One Was Strongest?

Ғылым және технология

What's the best screen protector for the iPhone 12? I got 18 different screen protectors and put them a gauntlet of different tests involving:
1. Coverage - How much of your iPhone get's covered?
2. Quality of Installation Tools - How easy is it to install the screen protector
3. Oleophobic Coating - How strong?
4. Impact Protection - Who has the strongest glass?
5. Scratch Resistance - Which screen protector is least prone to scratches?

    I think I’ve found a flaw in your impact testing method? Notice the two that score the highest are the ones made of composite materials, ie part glass and part plastic. The plastic makes them more flexible so they crack less easily. But this would actually make the iPhone screen underneath break more easily! Plastic screen protectors do not protect the screen as much as glass. To do a true test of impact resistance I think you would need to attach the screen protector to an iPhone and see if the iPhone screen underneath cracks. Although this would get very expensive very quickly!

    Thats not quite true though, really rigid materials like glass will transmit the force straight to the screen, flexible materials will deflect and absorb the impact.

    Your wrong to a degree as glass is harder and will allow force to pass to the next screen easier than a screen that’s able to deflect the force back somewhat, that’s why they use both..plus you could just use a force gauge underneath you not need a iPhone to crack..

No, I'm simply stating that something doesn't seem right with this dog.

You can tell once they break and you take it off the good one with bend very far in half without snapping, the cheap ones crack right away at the slightest bend. My theory is you want it to flex like that because it means it's absorbing shock.

    I read a tip years back that suggested running hot water in your bathroom and letting it steam up. After its mostly dissipated there is no longer any dust specks in the air, they have all been weighed down by the moisture! I think you could possibly screw it up if you did it too soon... I apply it as soon as the air is basically to normal. I have done this every time and never had a speck of dust under my protector since! LOL THE DAMN SPECKS!! I will rip it off is there is even one :)

    Just a heads up to anyone considering the Shellrus: there is a logo permanently marked into the sapphire. They have made it less obvious than last year’s model, but it is still present. The company has said that they are considering removing it, as they have more control over returns (able to easily detect when fake screen protectors are returned). I was going to buy one, but I am holding off until they can completely remove the mark.

    The review I was waiting for! Been using the Mous Hybrid glass for my iphone 11 for over a year. No cracks no scratches. Tried a whole bunch of different screen protectors for the previous iphone 10 as they kept cracking after a few weeks/months. In my clumsy way of handling, I need impact protection over scratch resistance so the Mous Hybrid wins it for me. Only downside is on the 11, it was kinda small, edges weren’t tapered and didn’t reach all the way to the edge of the phone. But I eventually got used to it. Oh and give Val a raise! Great research work and editing!

I think the other versions include one that is anti-glare, and a version that is U-shaped at the top and doesn’t cover the notch on the iPhone. I think there is also one version that is more “case friendly” i.e. it doesn’t have the black edges.

Is that not a thing with current glass screen protectors? It’s been awhile since I’ve had one but the last one I had seem to distort the image. I’m not very rough on my phone so the least distorting, clearest color, and protection from minor scratches are most important to me!

    Great job on the entertaining and informative study! The strength of the glass to withstand cracks can be misleading when it comes to protecting the phone. To a certain point you would want the glass to eventually crack since this would prevent the transfer of the blunt force to the actual phone itself. Similar in thinking to motorcycle helmets which the foam inner material is designed to crack with a certain amount of force since you don't want the full transfer to the head.

    Wow. What a nice kit for install. Just goes on perfectly...no bubbles, edge to edge protection, and screen sensitivity is excellent (I can't tell a difference from before and after the installation). I would like to have the absolute most scratch resistance possible, but not at the cost of lack of impact tolerance. This is why I chose the FloLab over Sapphire. Really good scratch resistance with excellent impact resistance, as well. Never had a screen protector of this quality. Very happy.

No drop, no forceful scratch. I did register my screen for warranty and was asked to pay the $8 in shipping to replace the screen. I can't keep paying $8 every 4 days because the screen is breaking for no reason? I'm really disappointed in Flolab's customer service. I'll be purchasing a screen from another brand in your video.

    Dude I really like the format with charts and all, but your summary or concluding chart seems completely bonkers, in that it does not follow the previous chart scores whatsoever - which is all quite confusing to say the least. In addition to this, and while your final summary included attributes such as; ease of installation, anti-bacterial etc, I'd question whether such characteristics should actually weigh-in on whether a protector could take first place or not, given that this would not constitute protection - ie, when was the last time you heard someone say 'this screen protector is useless against scratches and impacts, but it did such a wonderful job against bacteria, and it was so easy to install, that I just have to use it...' I mean in all fairness, someone could say that, though I really don't see how we could conclude that to be of any help in terms of peer-review personally... Anyways, I just thought I'd offer my two cents on matters. And so with that said, the final conclusion might be better presented in two parts - the first 1) scratch and impact resistance 2) whereas, other features such as; install, touch and feel, antibacterial, etc, etc. could cater to additional features, though not the main function of the screen itself - my two cents

    I just purchased the Spigen Tempered Glass and was amazed how easy it was to install. This is my first Apple device as I've always been an Android fan boy since they pretty much came out. I've never had a screen protector install easier than the Spigen, such a good method to install. That said, I don't spend $60 bucks on screen protectors, so maybe there are some amazing install methods on more expensive ones. But for $13 bucks for 2 I'll be more than happy to replace them once or twice a year if they get a little scratched.
