Screen Protector and Case: How to Pick the Right Ones

A screen replacement often costs half the price of the phone, while a good glass and case together prevent most of the damage.

Glass types

• 2.5D — covers the flat part of the screen: the universal, affordable option.
• Full glue / full cover — bonds across the whole surface, edges never lift, touch sensitivity is unchanged.
• Matte — no glare in sunlight and hides fingerprints, slightly softening the image.
• Privacy — the person next to you sees nothing on your screen.

What matters in a glass

9H hardness, an oleophobic coating (your finger glides, no smudges) and precise cut-outs for the speaker and camera. On cheap glasses the oleophobic layer wears off within weeks.

The case

• Silicone/TPU — thin and absorbs shocks well; the most popular choice.
• Hard (PC) — keeps its look but softens falls less.
• Check the lip — slightly raised above screen and camera so nothing rubs when the phone lies flat.
