For most smartphone owners, protecting their delicate handset with a case is a no-brainer. But many think twice about adding a screen protector, even though smartphone glass is the most fragile part of your handset, and the most expensive part to replace.
Screen protectors can go a long way to halt damage from sharp or hard objects in your purse or pocket and can help prevent shattering in case of drops or impact. While the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus sports scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass that naturally resists scrapes and cracks, it’s far from perfect. Substances such as sand on the beach can still damage your screen.
Look for two major types of screen protectors: Plastic film and tempered glass. Plastic film protectors look like sheets of plastic that you can attach to the front of your phone in either wet or dry application. They are inexpensive, and often come in packs of two or three, but provide minimal protection against drops. Tempered glass protectors are more popular and offer better resistance to scratches and drops. Tempered glass also mimics the tactile quality of your natural screen, which makes it more enjoyable to use. We pulled together some of our favorite S20 Plus screen protectors of both types.
If you’re interested in a case to go with that, have a look at our picks.
