A plastic or glass screen protector is a perfect solution to minimize damage to all kinds of moving electronic devices. Screen protectors come in several different materials to increase their ability to provide adequate protection and minimize problems with unwanted marks or scratches on your screen. Here are three of the different types of screen protectors:

PET film

PET film is one of the most common options on the market and can provide many useful benefits. This type provides a reliable solution for screen protection at a relatively low price. Additionally, there are many different types of protectors in this category that range from plain to matte finishes. A great positive aspect of PET film is the ease of installation and removal, as well as the high transparency for clear viewing. But this film has the drawback of being prone to fingerprint marks and provides minimal protection in the event of an impact.

For greater resistance to scuffs, scratches, or fingerprints, matte PET film is the preferred choice. However, this film may have a slight degradation in the quality of screen visibility.

Liquid

The intention of the liquid screen protector is to provide the portable device with long-term protection against scratches that result from normal wear and tear, repels dust and leaves the screen feeling smooth. A single application of this nano-coating technology is said to provide protection for up to 6 months. Additionally, this type of screen protector has the ability to provide twice the protection of more traditional films, as well as being resistant to water spills and providing anti-static qualities.

Liquid screen protectors are most practical on devices with an oleophobic coating or Gorilla Glass and don’t have much of an impact on devices with regular tempered glass screens.

Tempered glass

The tempered glass screen protector is a stronger option compared to thin plastic options (around 0.1mm). The tempered glass is in the region of 0.3-0.5mm thick and gives a feel that is practically the same as the original screen. Some of the great qualities of this type of protectors is the oleophobic coating (reduces stains or fingerprints) and a higher degree of protection against impacts. Also, the installation process is usually much easier than using the plastic film. A small disadvantage of glass protectors is the thickness, which is more noticeable on certain devices and can cause aesthetic problems for some users.
