Consider this: How many times have you come across someone trying to work their iPhone with a cracked screen? Often people go along with a damaged phone screen for months, just because the cost to replace it can be astronomical. Perhaps you’ve even been the victim of it yourself.
If you have a smartphone, it’s likely you put aside a fair amount of money, either to buy it, or as part of your phone plan. The wise decision would be to look after your investment, right?
Right. Enter: The tempered glass screen protector.
This neat little invention can save you a lot of heartache and a heck of a lot of money in the long run.
Tempered glass is scratch resistant, shatter resistant and crack resistant, and unlike Gorilla Glass 3, resists scratches made by sand. It’s the best all-rounder when it comes to phone screen protection, and we’re here to tell you the top 4 reasons why.
- They Have 5 Layers to Provide Optimal Protection
Tempered glass screen protectors are made up of five different layers of material. At the base you have a shock-absorbent, adhesive layer of silicon to stick to your phone. Next up there is a layer of PET film – similar to the stock-standard plastic screen protectors you usually get with your phone. Then comes the layer of tempered glass. Finally there is an oleophobic coating used to minimise those fingerprints you end up getting all over your screen. This five layer system means that the screen protection is up to five time tougher than regular glass. - They Make Plastic Screen Protectors Pale in Comparison
Usually, phone protectors are made of either PET film or TPU plastic. These substances are better protection than nothing for your phone but when compared to tempered glass, they just don’t stack up. Tempered glass is much more scratch resistant than either of the films and it is heat resistant, unlike plastics. Tempered glass also reduces glare and is non-reflective. - They Come in All Shapes and Sizes
Whether you’ve got an iPhone 6, an HTC One M9 or a Huawei Ascend G6, there is a tempered glass protector to fit your screen. Not only do they come in all shapes and sizes for phones, you can also come across tempered glass screen protectors for your iPad Air or tablet. Why not protect all your devices at once? - They Won’t Cost You an Arm and a Leg
When tempered glass screen protectors first came out, they were quite a bit more expensive than they are today. Whereas previously they were costing north of $50, you can find them readily available now for under $30. When you think of the savings you could possibly make (replacing an iPhone 6 screen can cost up to $200!) it’s impossible to ignore grabbing one.
If you want the best protection for your screen and to avoid future accidents, get your hands on a tempered glass screen protector. Your bank balance, and phone, thank you in advance.
