The Truth About Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

For the past couple of years tempered glass screen protectors have been touted as a safe and solid material to protect mobile devices against drops and cracks to the display. The glass surface absorbs contact when the phone is dropped and protects the display from breakages and costly repairs.

There are also films with adhesive that sticks to the surface of the screen, but it is hard to install without leaving bubbles.

There are drawbacks to the use of these films. First, these films are thicker than regular screen protectors and can make the display unresponsive to the touch. Also, the adhesive is stronger and if you don’t have the film sitting correctly on the display before the wetting agent dries, good luck trying to move the film or remove it.

With tempered glass protectors that are made of preformed plastic, they act as a case cover over the front surface and there have been complaints that they crack easily.

Since these protectors are clear, they also have a major glare issue and they reflect everything around you, especially when you are outdoors.
