The best screen protector for iPhone

I think the best screen protector over there is in the market is the "Tech21 Impact Shield Protector with Anti-Glare".

I made my opinion for two main reasons:

  • The anti-glare is really nice, it makes looking into your iPhone very comfortable for the eyes. I bought it for the iPhone 6 Plus & after upgrading to the 6s Plus, I made sure it is the first thing I buy again. It is bit addictive once you get used to it.

  • But the best of all, is the special plastic applicator that comes with it. It really makes it easy to properly align the screen protector on the iPhone without much hassle. The three images below will show you how it works. On other hand, it doesn't help to make your screen protector bubble free ! You still have to invest some manual effort to remove all bubbles as usual.

As everything in the world, there must be some bad news, well, it is expensive. It is sold for £24.99 on Apple store (if Apple store sells them, it tells a lot about their quality). I can see another similar product on Amazon for only £15.5 which is a big difference ! but take care of one small thing, I noticed that the one sold on Amazon didn't mention Anti-Glare at all, which makes me speculate that both products are different but can't be sure as I didn't buy the one on Amazon to confirm. Both web sites claim you can easily remove air bubbles but personally, I don't think it is true, the applicator will just make it easy to align the screen protector but will not do much with bubbles unless they mean you can now focus your energy on one thing, removing all air bubbles & not alignment !

Lastly, I didn't test how good the impact shield is & will never do plus I don't even believe a screen protector can save your screen from an impact so better be just careful :)
