Keeping your new iPhone protected should always be a top priority. You might have your iPhone XR case picked out, but what about the screen? The XR isn’t equipped with the AMOLED display you’ll find on the iPhone XS and XS Max, but it still comes with a gorgeous and all-new Liquid Retina LCD display. Keep the window into your iOS world open and crack-free with our selection of the best iPhone XR screen protectors.
Putting on a screen protector can be a chore, and though many screen protectors come with various accessories to help the process, none are quite as good as JETech’s high-quality screen protector. The film screen protector offers some of the strongest protection on this list. The protector measures at around 0.3mm, and can withstand scratches and damage up to 9H. Once your device is clean and the protector is perfectly aligned, simply attach the protector, following the provided instructions. If that’s a little hard to follow, JETech has an instruction slip. Once attached, there is very little chance of bubbling, but be sure to bear in mind that the case friendly design only covers the main area of the phone, and not the entire phone.
Getting a close fit with screen protectors is vital as air between the protector and screen can reduce touch sensitivity. If you’re picky about how your display feels, then ESR’s protector is worth the money you’ll spend on it. It’s made from tempered glass, so it adds scratch-resistance as well as protection against more extreme drops and similar. It’s one of the best protectors around for full adherence. Designed to take up to 10kg in force, no matter what you do with your phone, this protector will keep it safe.
If you’re looking for phone protection, one of your first stops should be Spigen’s huge range of protective cases. But why stop there? Spigen also provides a pretty great glass screen protector. Spigen’s tempered-glass screen protector has a hardness of 9H that helps resist scratches and chips. It’s treated with an oleophobic coating that stops oily fingerprints from marring your view and prevents minor scratches. It works perfectly with all of Spigen’s cases, and it’s easy to apply. Spigen’s a name you can count on, it comes in a double pack, and has Spigen’s Ez Fit installation system too.
Rhinoshield started with screen protection in mind, so it’s no mistake that we’ve included it in our list. This film screen protector is so tough that Rhinoshield claims it can handle impacts from a hammer, and is five times as tough as Gorilla Glass 3. That’s a heck of a claim, and not one we’re going to test — and neither should you — but it says a lot that Rhinoshield is willing to make such a claim. The Impact Protection edition is super-thin at just 0.29 mm, and it also comes with an oleophobic layer to resist fingerprints. As a film screen protector though, it won’t have the same strength as a glass protector. It’s compatible with Rhinoshield’s cases.
Coming in hard with an excellent value offering that provides 3 screen protectors, this offering from Eono covers everything you may need in a screen protector, and all with a budget price too. Coming with an installation kit to help prevent unwanted bubbling, this screen protector is easy to apply, and will get to work protecting your phone from bumps and scratches almost immediately. This screen protector ensures that you won’t lose that HD screen performance, and also protects against dust, water, and even unwanted fingerprints.
Do you just need something to cover up your screen at a great price? Check out this double-pack from Olixar. These screen protectors are made from durable and flexible film that should be able to resist scratches that might otherwise damage your device. Being made from film, it won’t be as impact-resistant as a tempered-glass screen protector — and it probably won’t do much to prevent a shatter from a fall — but it will still offer some protection against most everyday hazards. Olixar claims these protectors won’t hamper your touch-sensitivity, or reduce your screen’s clarity, and they’re easy to apply.
Here’s another cheaper film alternative in a double pack — but there’s a twist in this particular tale. Skinomi claims that the TechSkin is the toughest clear film protector on the market, and is made from the same film covering that protects luxury cars, military aircraft, and NASA space shuttles. We can’t back that up, but we do know that the TechSkin’s multiple-layer construction gives it self-healing properties, protects against UV yellowing, and adds puncture-resistance. It’s not going to be as protective as a glass protector, but if you want as thin a protector as possible, then the TechSkin is worth considering. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, which is nice.
So-called blue light from phone screens can have a variety of effects on humans, including keeping us up at night. Rather than using a software-based filter that tints the screen, why not buy a screen protector that directly blocks the harmful light? That’s the idea behind the Glass+ VisionGuard. This protector uses a special layer to filter out the troublesome light, meaning it never even leaves the screen, and can’t affect you. It doesn’t change the look of the screen, it’s as strong as a normal glass protector, and comes with a 100 percent clarity rating. Like most of the protectors from the big name brands on this list, it can be expensive, but with a headline feature like this, it may be worth the cash.
Last, but certainly not least, is UAG’s excellent Glass Screen Shield. It’s made from 9H hardness tempered glass, so it should be resistant against most types of damage, and should be able to withstand impacts. It’s treated with an oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprint smears, and it shouldn’t hinder touchscreen sensitivity or clarity. The real selling point here is its thickness. At just 0.2 mm thick, UAG’s protector is one of the thinnest around, which means it’ll be even harder to notice that you’re using a screen protector at all. If you’re willing to pay a premium, this thin protector should work well.
