We've replaced 50,000+ screens. Here's the honest data on what protectors do — and don't — save you from.
Screen protectors are the most misunderstood accessory in mobile care.
What they prevent
Tempered glass protectors absorb point impacts and scratches extremely well. A flat face-down drop onto sand or keys is exactly what they're built for.
What they don't
They do little for corner and edge impacts, which transfer force directly to the display panel. For those, a good case matters far more.
The verdict
Use both: a tempered-glass protector plus a case with raised corners gives you the best odds against everyday accidents.
