Keep the iPhone XS display crack-free with these screen protectors
Spigen Glas.tR Slim Ez Fit Screen Protector
Best iPhone XS screen protector overall
Spigen makes exceptional cases, but it also makes some equally good screen protectors. The Glas.tR screen protector is made from tempered glass, offering improved scratch-resistance and additional drop protection, and also comes with an oleophobic layer that stops greasy fingerprints and oils from marring your view. The real selling point here is the ease of installation. As anyone who’s installed a screen protector before knows, it can be a fiddly process. Spigen has reduced the hassle by including a guide with the protector. Simply place the guide over your phone, press down on the center of the protector, and you’re done.
BodyGuardz Pure 2 EyeGuard
Best iPhone XS screen protector for blue light filtering
BodyGuardz is an up-and-coming name in screen protection, and with a screen protector like the Pure 2 EyeGuard, it’s easy to see why. Bodyguardz uses aluminosilicate in its tempered glass, an advance that Bodyguardz claims allows its protectors to be thinner but more durable than the glass found in other screen protectors. There’s also a twist — this protector contains technology that helps to filter out blue light from the device’s display. This blue light may stop us from sleeping at night, and may have other detrimental side effects. The Pure 2 EyeGuard is purported to cut out 43 percent of blue light, reducing screen-strain without changing the color of your screen.
Maxboost Screen Protector
Best value iPhone XS screen protector
Adding an extra layer of glass to your iPhone XS shouldn’t make it heavy or bulky. The Maxboost screen protector is one of the thinnest tempered glass offerings, measuring just 0.25 mm. The included installation tray helps you apply the screen protector perfectly every time. If you do mess up, you’ll have another two protectors included in the box to start over with. A hydrophobic coating on each screen creates a water-resistant barrier, so you won’t have to worry about damaging your iPhone when you’re around water.
Shellrus Sapphire X
Best sapphire glass iPhone XS screen protector
An issue that’s plagued tempered glass screen protectors is a proneness to micro-scratches and scuffs. While they do protect the screen underneath, a protector full of smudges and scratches isn’t a good look. For the most premium, scratch-free, glass screen protector out there, you’ll want to look into the Shellrus Sapphire X. Made with synthetic sapphire crystal, the glass has a hardness level of nine on the Mohs Scale. That means it’s even harder to scratch than the actual glass used on the iPhone XS.
