iPhone 7 Screen Protectors & Camera Protector

Which types of screen protectors are available for iPhone 7?

There are four common types of screen protectors for iPhone 7.

• Tempered glass is the most common option and is available in several variants: 2.5D edges lie flush against the flat screen, edge-to-edge variants cover the entire display surface and case friendly models are cut with a margin so as not to rub against the case's inner edge.
• 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, follows the screen's contour without air pockets and suits the compact display surface well.
• Lens protectors are a common complement that protect the rear camera lens and are used separately from the screen protector.

How do I choose the right screen protector for iPhone 7?

Compatibility with the specific iPhone 7 is the first priority - the protector must be marked for that model and not for iPhone 7 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen and a different format. iPhone 7 uses Touch ID via the home button 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 a case or cover you should choose a case friendly protector with margins that do not clash with the case's edge. Beyond compatibility, your needs determine the choice: clarity, reduced glare with a matte surface, privacy protection or a blue-light filter.

What extra features can a screen protector for iPhone 7 have?

Screen protectors for iPhone 7 are available with several extra features beyond basic protection.

• Privacy protection, called privacy glass, limits sideways viewing 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 image quality.
• Blue-light filter is integrated directly into the protector's material and filters out some 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 remains bacteria-free during 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 iPhone 7 cost?

The price of screen protectors for iPhone 7 varies depending on 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.
