Asus ROG Phone 5 Screen Protectors & Camera Protector

What types of screen protectors are available for the Asus ROG Phone 5?

There are three common types of screen protectors for the Asus ROG Phone 5.

• Tempered glass is the most common option and comes in several versions: 2.5D edges sit flush with 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 inside edge of a case.
• Screen protector film in PET or TPU is thinner and more flexible - PET is stiffer while TPU is elastic and conforms to the surface better during installation.
• Hydrogel film is soft and moldable, follows the screen's contour without air pockets, and suits the large display area well.

How do I choose the right screen protector for the Asus ROG Phone 5?

Compatibility with the exact ROG Phone 5 is the first priority - the protector must be labeled for the exact model and not for the ROG Phone 5s, ROG Phone 5 Pro, or ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, which may have slightly different dimensions or formats. The ROG Phone 5 lacks an in-display fingerprint reader and instead uses a side-mounted fingerprint reader, which greatly simplifies the choice of screen protector since there is no sensor under the display to take into account - in practice, almost all types of tempered glass and film work without limitations.

The ROG Phone 5 is a gaming phone with a somewhat wider and heavier build than average flagships, which makes it extra important to check that the protector's exact dimensions match. If you use a case for Asus ROG Phone 5 you should choose a case friendly protector with margins that do not clash with the edge of the case. Besides compatibility, needs determine the choice: clarity, reduced glare with a matte surface, privacy protection, or blue light filter.

What extra features can a screen protector for the Asus ROG Phone 5 have?

Screen protectors for the ROG Phone 5 come with several extra features beyond basic protection.

• Privacy protection, called privacy glass, limits sideways viewing so that screen content is only visible straight on - useful in public environments.
• Matte or anti-glare coating reduces reflections from strong light sources and outdoor lighting without noticeably affecting the screen's AMOLED reproduction.
• Blue light filter is integrated directly into the protector's material and filters out part 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 will remain 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 Asus ROG Phone 5 cost?

The price of screen protectors for the ROG Phone 5 varies depending on material, extra features, and whether an installation frame is included in the package. Privacy protectors and 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 also provides a spare protector.
