How we test
We approach screen protector claims with a degree of skepticism, as manufacturers are known to exaggerate or highlight specific features to drive sales. For instance, some products might boast 10-foot drop protection, but we're not inclined to put that claim to the test ourselves.
Given this pragmatic approach, we take manufacturer statements with a grain of salt. However, we are committed to only recommending screen protectors that we would be willing to purchase ourselves. Our selections come from brands we've had the opportunity to test across various product categories and have found to be reliable and of high quality.
By striking this balance between healthy skepticism and a commitment to quality, we aim to provide our readers with screen protector recommendations they can trust, without subjecting our own devices to undue risk.
