A plastic or glass screen protector is a perfect solution to minimize damage to all types of electronic devices on the go. Screen protectors come in a number of different materials to increase the ability to provide adequate protection and minimize problems with unwanted marks or scratches on the 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 it can provide many useful benefits. This type provides a reliable solution to protect the screen at a relatively low price. Additionally, there are many different types of protectors in this category ranging from smooth 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 downside of being prone to fingerprints and offers minimal protection in the event of an impact.

For increased resistance to marks, 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 liquid screen protector is intended to provide the handheld with long-term protection against scratches that result from normal wear and tear, repels dust, and leaves the screen smooth. A single application of this nano coating technology is said to provide protection for up to 6 months. In addition, this type of screen protector has the ability to provide twice the protection of more traditional films, while being resistant to water spills and providing anti-static qualities.

Liquid screen protectors are more practical on devices with oleophobic coating or gorilla glass and do not have much impact on devices with normal tempered glass screens.

Tempered glass

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