Made of plastic or glass

Don’t want scratches on the screen of your brand new iPhone? A screen protector ensures that your screen still looks like new even after a year of use. In this guide you will find some good iPhone screen protectors, with and without a privacy filter and other extras.

iPhone screen protector: which one?

You naturally want to keep your new iPhone as beautiful as possible. A scratch happened in no time. You can prevent this with a screen protector, where you can choose from a plastic foil or a thin layer of glass. Both also absorb a blow, so your screen won’t immediately shatter when dropped. Applying a screen protector is an art in itself, but if you sit down quietly you should be able to do it. A glass screen protector is usually a bit more expensive. These often consist of several layers, including a layer of tempered glass. And they are virtually invisible, at least if you stick them on properly.

PanzerGlass for iPhone 14

At PanzerGlass you can choose from two product lines: the Classic Fit and the Ultra-Wide Fit, which is a bit wider. Both are made of a thin layer of extremely strong glass and they can be used in combination with a case. The screen protectors are very transparent and do not affect the sensitivity of the touchscreen. In addition, these screen protectors kill 99% of the most common bacteria on glass, so your iPhone is always fresh and has fewer fingerprints.

Belkin protective film for iPhone 14

Belkin has three types of screen protectors: TemperedGlass, InvisiGlass and UltraGlass, each with slightly different properties. In addition, there are also privacy screen protectors for various models that fall under the TemperedGlass product line.

The Apple Store sells Belkin screen protectors and sticks them on right away. For the iPhone 14 Pro there is the Belkin Ultraglass protective film (€39.95), which is up to twice as strong as a tempered glass protective film. This is done by a chemical process involving dual ion exchange. The material is lithium aluminum silicate, which is super strong and flexible. According to the manufacturer, it is unprecedentedly scratch resistant. Thanks to this film, your iPhone is twice as well protected against falls, compared to normal tempered glass screen protectors. You can still operate the touchscreen. You can have this foil applied in the Apple Store, but you will also receive an Easy Align frame to get started yourself.

Belkin also has an Ultraglass protective film for other iPhone models, which is often suitable for earlier models such as the iPhone 13 (Pro). The price is also €39.95. This is made of the same material. Naturally, you need a slightly larger 6.7-inch Ultraglass protective film for the iPhone 14 Plus (€39.95), which also fits the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

There is also the Belkin Tempered glass screen protector. This is also easy to install thanks to the included Easy Align tool. The screen protector is made of tempered glass (hardness 9H) and protects your iPhone well without getting in the way. It has a special coating to allow 99% less bacteria on your screen. You can use it in combination with a case.

Otterbox screen protector for iPhone 14

In the Apple Store you will find the OtterBox Amplify Glass Glare Guard for all iPhone models. This is an anti-reflective protective film that protects the display against drops, scratches and bumps. With this screen protector you can still see the screen clearly, even in bright light. You can then lower the brightness of the display a bit, which is also good for the battery. The glass itself is very strong and resistant to scratches and impacts.

Otterbox iPhone 14 screen protector

These Amplify screen protectors are ‘exclusive to Apple’, but you can of course also find the OtterBox screen protectors at other stores. The Otterbox Anti-Glare Screen Protector Glass also has anti-reflective properties, but is a lot cheaper. And thanks to the antibacterial layer, your screen stays clean for longer.
Glass protects well against scratches and cracks. As with all glass screen protectors, the glass can break with a hard blow, after which you will have to replace it. But the screen protector has optimally protected the display of your iPhone. Other variants you may come across are the Otterbox Alpha screen protector and the Trusted Glass screen protector. These are all a bit cheaper than those you find at Apple. You can combine this screen protector with an iPhone 14 case from Otterbox, but it can of course also be a case from any other brand.
