The iPhone 15 Pro series is the fastest smartphone on the market. With a powerful 3nm SoC, a new camera setup, USB-C & a plethora of new features, it truly is a premium smartphone and justifies it with a similar price tag. Launched at the Wanderlust event on the 12th of September 2023 along with the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and Apple Watch Series 9, the new Pro iPhone sports the stunning 6.1-inch ProMotion OLED display.
Surrounded by a Titanium chassis, the display is protected by the Ceramic Shield. However, even with this impressive durability, the iPhone 15 Pro screen is not immune to scratches, cracks, or fingerprints. That’s why you might want to invest in a high-quality screen protector that can offer extra protection and peace of mind.
There are hundreds of options available in the market, but how do you know which one is the best for you? Read on to discover the best screen protectors for your iPhone 15 Pro and make your phone look and feel amazing.
How to pick the best screen protectors for your iPhone 15 Pro
We’ve been testing out different screen protectors for iPhones for over a decade. With a fair share of experience using over a hundred screen protectors from dozens of different brands and different types of screen protectors on almost all iPhones, we can confidently say you’re in good hands.
Screen protector compatibility
Choosing a compatible screen protector that fits perfectly with your iPhone 15 Pro isn’t tough at all. You just have to carefully look at the product title and description, almost every brand mentions which iPhone model their screen protectors are compatible with. In this case, you must look for options that are compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro display, and not iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, or the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Also, it is worth noting that the iPhone 15 Pro has smaller bezels, so you’ll need a screen protector that offers edge-to-edge coverage.
Materials used in screen protectors
The market is filled with many types of screen protectors made out of different materials. Most screen protectors these days use tempered glass with a 9H rating indicating more durability than the regular TPU/PET films made out of thin and hard plastic material. The TPU/PET screen protector films are usually flexible and are not best known for damage protection. So, if you are looking for a screen protector that delivers drop protection, plastic films should be avoided at all costs. Instead, go for a tempered glass screen protector that offers reliable screen protection. Brands like
Spigen, amFilm, ESR, Belkin, ZAGG, and others offer the best screen protectors which you can choose without any second thoughts. We have been using their screen protectors for over a decade now and can vouch for it.
Certifications
Brands usually choose fancy terms to market their screen protectors. Most screen protestors these days boast about different certifications including Military-grade, SGS Drop Test Certification, etc. Since users are not aware of what exactly these terms mean, we are here to explain.
And, the fact that most brands don’t even bother explaining these terms, here’s what they mean.
- Military-grade: Honestly speaking there is no such military-grade certification for screen protectors. However, most brands use ‘military-grade’ to indicate that their screen protectors are built using durable and tough materials. While this is true in some screen protectors, many others use these keywords just to drive sales.
- SGS Drop Test Certification: SGS is a Swiss company that certifies a product once it passes rigorous testing and inspection process. Therefore, if you see a screen protector boasting about SGS Drop Test Certification, it simply means that the screen protector has passed a forced impact drop test. It also suggests that in real-life scenarios, the screen protector will be able to withstand accidental drops and will keep the display in one piece, no matter what. One popular example is the TORRAS DiamondShield series which boasts about SGS certification throughout the product description.
Hardness scale
The 9H hardness rating is something we normally associate with screen protectors and is widely used by brands to suggest durability and strength. For those uninitiated, it is nearly the highest position on the Moh scale of mineral hardness which ranges from 1 to 10. Here 1 simply indicates the least hard minerals like a soft talc, while 10 suggests maximum hardness in minerals including diamond. Since glass normally lies between 6 and 9, depending on how the manufacturer treats it. Tempered glass is ranked higher, which is why we generally see 9 besides ‘H’ which stands for ‘Hardness’. Putting it simply, iPhone 15 Pro screen protectors with a 9H rating are the best ones.
To remind you every screen protector is prone to getting cracked. They are meant to absorb shocks generated from the harsh drop and avoid screen-shattering problems. That’s why all screen protector breaks (while some don’t) but normally do their job of protecting the display of the iPhone. Remember, replacing a screen protector is far more wallet-friendly than replacing your iPhone display which is why you’d find some brands offering multiple iPhone 15 Pro screen protectors in a pack.
Other factors
One must also consider different factors like price, warranty, and customer service when choosing a glass screen protector for the iPhone 15 Pro. Brands like OtterBox, Spigen, and Belkin offer their screen protectors with post-purchase warranty so that you can get a replacement when things go south (sometimes). In addition, these brands ensure good after-sales service and back users’ purchases with the best customer support in the industry. Therefore, we always recommend our readers to stick with the best brands in the market.
That said, the price remains another vital factor that you must consider when buying the best iPhone 15 Pro glass screen protectors. The market is filled with hundreds of screen protectors with a price range anywhere between $4 to $70 or even more. Depending on your use case and budget, you can choose any. But, our pick of the best iPhone 15 Pro screen protectors ranges anywhere between $10 to $25. Moreover, we recommend keeping an eye on festive sales or Prime Day offers where you grab extra discounts on some of the best screen protectors from premium brands.
