iPhone Xs Screen Protectors & Camera Protector

What types of screen protectors are available for the iPhone Xs?

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

• Tempered glass is the most common option and comes in several variants: 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 they do not 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 conforms better to the surface during installation.
• Hydrogel film is soft and moldable, follows the screen's contour without air pockets and fits the curved screen edge well.
• Lens protector is a common complement that protects the camera lenses on the back and is used separately from the screen protector.

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

Compatibility with the specific iPhone Xs is the first priority - the protector must be labeled for the exact model and not for the iPhone Xs Max (6.5-inch) or the iPhone XR (6.1-inch), which both have a different format and different dimensions. The iPhone Xs 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 limitations related to fingerprint reading.

If you use a case or a cover you should choose a case friendly protector with margins that do not collide with the case's edge. Aside from 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 the iPhone Xs have?

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

• Privacy protection, called privacy glass, limits side viewing so that screen content is only visible from straight in front - 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 reproduction.
• Blue light filter is integrated directly into the protector's material and filters out some of the blue light without requiring setting changes in 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 the iPhone Xs cost?

The price of screen protectors for the iPhone Xs 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.
