Best screen protectors for your phone: how to choose the right one

The phone screen is one of the most expensive and fragile parts of a device, with repairs often costing tens of euros. A screen protector is the most affordable and straightforward insurance against cracks and scratches. Let's explore how to choose the best option from the AIOO Store's range of screen protectors.

1. Tempered Glass vs. Film

Tempered glass is the most durable solution, typically with 9H hardness, effectively protecting against scratches from keys or coins and absorbing shock in case of a drop. Screen films are thinner, more flexible, and better suited for phones with curved screens, but offer less protection against sharp objects. For most users, tempered glass is the best choice.

2. Clarity and Touch Sensitivity

A high-quality screen protector should be almost unnoticeable, without impacting screen brightness, color accuracy, or touch response speed. Cheaper, low-quality protectors can make the screen appear cloudy or slow down the fingerprint sensor (this isn't an issue for Face ID/Touch ID, but is important for Android devices with in-screen sensors).

3. Privacy Screen Protectors

If you frequently use your phone in public places, consider an anti-spy screen protector. It darkens the screen when viewed from the sides, allowing content to be seen only directly from the front. This solution is particularly useful at work or on public transport.

4. Bubble-Free Installation

Incorrect application is the most common reason why a screen protector looks bad or doesn't fit precisely. At AIOO stores, we offer free screen protector application using a professional applicator, guaranteeing precise placement without dust or air bubbles.

5. Camera Lens Protectors

In addition to the screen, it's also worth protecting the rear camera, especially for models with protruding camera modules (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max). A camera lens protector prevents scratches on the lenses without compromising photo quality.

Summary

Tempered glass with precise cutouts and professional installation is the best investment for your phone screen's protection. Explore the available options in the AIOO Store's screen protector section — installation in-store is always free.
