iPhone 12 Screen Protectors & Camera Protector

What types of screen protectors are available for iPhone 12?

There are four common types of screen protectors for the iPhone 12.

• Tempered glass is the most common option and is available in several designs: 2.5D edges lie flat against the flat screen, edge-to-edge variants cover the entire display area, and case-friendly models are cut with a margin so as not to rub against the inner edge of the case.
• Screen protector film in PET or TPU is thinner and more flexible - PET is stiffer while TPU is elastic and follows the surface better during installation.
• Hydrogel film is soft and moldable and follows the screen's contour without air bubbles.
• Lens protector is a common complement that protects the rear camera lens and is used separately from the screen protector.

How do I choose the right screen protector for the iPhone 12?

Compatibility with the specific iPhone 12 is the first priority - the protector must be labeled for the exact model and not for the iPhone 12 Mini (6.1 inches but narrower), the iPhone 12 Pro (same size but different camera cutout) or the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches), which all have different formats and dimensions. The iPhone 12 uses Face ID for biometric authentication and lacks a fingerprint reader in the screen, which simplifies the choice of screen protector because there is no sensor under the display to take into account - in principle, all types of tempered glass and film work without restrictions.

If you use cases or covers you should choose a case-friendly protector with margins that do not collide with the edge of the case. Beyond compatibility, needs guide the choice: clarity, reduced glare with a matte surface, privacy protection or a blue light filter.

What extra features can a screen protector for the iPhone 12 have?

Screen protectors for the iPhone 12 come with several extra features beyond basic protection.

• Privacy protection, called privacy glass, limits visibility from the sides so that the screen content is only visible straight on - practical in public environments.
• Matte or anti-glare coating reduces reflections from strong light sources and outdoor lighting without noticeably affecting the screen's OLED performance.
• Blue light filter is integrated directly into the protector's material and filters out part of the blue light without requiring setting changes on the phone.
• Antibacterial surface coating treats the protector's surface to reduce microbial growth, but does not mean the screen is kept bacteria-free under normal use.
• Oleophobic coating, also called anti-fingerprint, reduces visible fingerprints and makes the surface easier to wipe clean.

How much does a screen protector for the iPhone 12 cost?

The price of screen protectors for the iPhone 12 varies depending on the material, extra features and whether an installation frame is included in the package. Privacy protectors and screen protectors with special coatings generally cost more than simpler PET film or standard tempered glass, and a 2-pack is often a cost-effective option that provides a spare protector.
