How do you successfully protect your expensive smartphone?

Glass on the screen it is among the most sensitive components of a smartphone and it is right to protect it. Not only against scratches but also against impacts. Choosing a protective solution is not so easy. Not only because of the multitude of different manufacturers of guards, but also because of the different types of guards. We know quite a few of them and each has its pluses and minuses.

How do you successfully protect your expensive smartphone?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) protective film

PET is a type of plastic used for food storage products. It has also extended its usefulness to protect our mobile devices. These are usually additionally surrounded by anti-scratch coatings. They protect against scratches (keys, coins, nails), but not from falls. They like to be smeared with fingerprints and turn slightly yellow over time.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) protective film

TPU film is compared to PET film more resistant to scratches and do not turn yellow. It is elastic, which makes her able to "to heal” minor scratches, and also it is easier to install it on curved screens.

Tempered glass

Tempered glass in case of a stronger impact only this absorb and usually shatters. The quality among tempered glass protectors is different. The best are those that are composed from several layers. The higher price is also suitable for this.

Protection with Nano liquid

With such liquids on the screen we create a kind of anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint coating. Aesthetically, our phone will be more beautiful, but the actual protection when using Nano liquids is questionable. The coating wears out over time, but because it is invisible, we do not know when it needs to be replaced again.

We took the time to find the best solution for the most popular smartphone models at the moment.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus

The best protection: tempered glass Whitestone Dome Glass

Not all tempered glass screens are created equal. The new screens are just slightly curved, and the Note 10 Plus is even more curved. Therefore, it is necessary to decide to buy such tempered glass, which will also protect the edges. Whitestone Dome Glass it will not disturb the clarity of the image as well it will not prevent the ultrasonic fingerprint reader from working. The price is a bit high, but the protection will be really good.

Runner-Up: Anewsir case + TPU film

We get it in a set two TPU foils and one slim cover black color. The film made of TPU plastic is more resistant to scratches than the cheapest plastic films. Because it is more elastic, it also has the ability to "heal" minor scratches.

Samsung Galaxy S10

The best protection: Zolmag tempered glass

Extremely thin glass (0.33mm) se it fits nicely around the rounded edges of the screen and protects them from impacts. Even unlocking using the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is not disturbed. It has tempered glass anti-fingerprint and water-repellent coating.

Runner-Up: Skinomi TechSkin film

As previously stated, TPU has limited scratch healing abilities due to its elasticity, but it also offers slight impact resistance. Foil is a good solution for those who want protection, but don't want it to be too conspicuous.

iPhone 11 Pro

The best protection: tempered glass Trianium tempered glass

The iPhone 11 Pro has exactly the same screen size as the XS and X models. Therefore, we can also choose from older protections that have proven to be excellent. One of these is the one from Trianium. We get just that in the package 3 tempered glasses, which are very thin (0.25mm), so they will be on the device less visible. It is also included for installation convenient applicator, with which we will never miss installing a screen protector.

Runner-Up: Spigen Tempered Glass

Spigen knows just as much about cases as it does about screen protectors. We get it for a little money two pieces of tempered glass, which is installed using the attached applicator. Spigen also claims that all their cases are compatible with this protection.

Huawei P30 Pro

The best protection: Mikeeasy tempered glass

This tempered glass is rounded and it also protects the edges. We get just that in the package two glasses, as far as one of us breaks. It's cut to exact measurements, that's why different wrappers shouldn't be a problem.

Runner-Up: LK TPU film

LK foil will be nicely wrap around the entire screen and at the same time remained almost invisible. The manufacturer guarantees that during use it will not turn yellow and yes it is friendly to all types of covers. The installation is a bit longer than other protections, but we must not forget that the US Army protects even its jets with TPU film.
