Screen protectors are protective layer(s) of glass, plastic or mixture that are put on top of your phone’s screen. It protects it from dings, scratches and other forms of wear and tears as you continue to use the phone.
In cases of an accidental fall too, the screen protector acts as a shock absorber, preventing an otherwise nasty crack that might take several dollars to repair or replace.
Screen protectors are necessary. If you do not want to spend money repairing or replacing your phone after cracks from accidental falls, a slip or generally just messing your screen and phone up, you should get a screen protector.
But since there are so many of them, which type should you get? Glass or plastic
Is a glass screen protector better than plastic?
A tempered glass screen protector is better than a plastic screen protector. This is because tempered glass screen protectors have shock absorbers that protect your screen during falls.
This is a feature that is usually missing in plastic screen protectors. Your phone screen is less likely to crack if you have a tempered glass screen protector on.
