    I prefer a spigen screen protector my iphone 12 (3 years old ) has zero scratches, plus a gold quality screen protector if not betters the screen’s feel, atleast keeps it good.

      I rawrogged my s20 and the oleophobic coating wore off in the middle after 6 months, which felt terrible. always use screen protectors so when the coating wears off you can swap a new one :)

        I didn’t use to put screen protectors on my phones. I just put one on my new 15 pro max (the spigen one) specifically for this purpose. Don’t even care about scratches and stuff but the oleophobic coating wearing off is so annoying.

        If you’re the type of person who can feel the scratches, then it certainly helps against that

      i prefer no screen protector. My 4 yr old XR which I just replaced has 0 screen scratches. Just avoid putting it with keys

        You should give a tempered glass protector like the Spigen one a try. I was in the same boat as you until I put one on my 14 PM a week ago. I literally cannot notice it unless I take my case off and look for the edges of the protector.

          I always buy the absolute cheapest glass protectors now because I bought a $60 one from the Apple Store and it cracked the same way and around the same time a $2 protector would.

      Glad to see someone else say this. Most people seem to say screen protectors make the screen less sensitive, but I’ve found the Spigen one increases sensitivity somehow.

        Gold being a “standard” as in high quality, go with spigen ez it’s pretty good, end to end, smooth, 9h hardness, oiliophobic coating, doesn’t fuck up the colors on screen, costs about 2000 rupees here in india, maybe like 25 dollars in the US, idk, not to mention the pack has 2 of them, so you can either keep one for later of split with a friend.

      Man from installation to durability and feel this must be my favourite phone accessory ever.

      Every time I see a friend with a shitty screen protector I’m like “I gotchu” and I order them one and install it.

      They are all amazed by the quality and you only need what? Two screen protectots a year ? Worth the money IMHO.

          No, they break easily. The applicator is nice but they aren’t durable at all. The one I have on now has a big crack in it from falling off my lap into grass. Maybe a 2 ft drop with a case on

      You gotta try the new ones that are a film. I used to use the glass ones like spigen… then I discovered the film ones on Temu. It’s called like polyphobic or something. You clean your screen, use the sticker, line it up and you peel the bottom half then the top then the bottom AGAIN and it’s goes on like magic. No bubbles and they work great. I had my one on my 14pm for like 5 months. When I traded it in it was like brand new. It’s almost like it feels better on your fingers too. Easier to type
