5.0 out of 5 starsDO NOT use camera lens protectors! Screen protector is great value however
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
Camera lens protectors are at best unnecessary and at worst detrimental to your camera's performance. The sapphire glass already located on your phone's camera is a different and stronger material than the rest of the screen and is nearly impossible to break. Adding a layer of protection over this will only increase the glare and reduce the sharpness of your photos. Please don't limit your expensive iPhone's impressive camera with these protectors! For a more in depth explanation of this principle, please reference the video "Are iPhone Camera Lens Protectors WORTH IT?" by MobileReviewsEh on YouTube.
With that said, these screen protectors have been my go-to choice to protect my iPhone for the past few years. Even not needing the camera lens protectors, this was still the most affordable option I could find. As with previous versions, the price point is this product's strongest feature. The protector is correctly sized and interfaces with the touch screen perfectly. The durability of these protectors is only decent, but for this price point, I find this compromise to be completely acceptable. I have never had a problem with scratching, but these protectors have always eventually fractured along the edge after repeated use. Since one pack of these protectors lasts me well over a year, I would much rather choose this over more expensive options.
The included screen alignment tool is a significant upgrade from previous versions, and I have found it to be intuitive and effective. I have struggled with dust being caught under the screen protector, but I believe this is mostly user error, and I will try to apply the protector in environments with less dust in the future. The other included cleaning wipes are nice to have as well.
