Everything about phone screen protectors: components and do they really provide complete shock protection

When buying a new phone, it will inevitably be exposed to falling on the ground in many cases, so it is common to use a “screen protector” to reduce damage to the phone screen, however, it may not be very effective, especially in high-impact collisions.

What are the components of a screen protector?

The screen protector is mainly made of a thin sheet, made of glass or specific types of plastic similar to synthetic rubber. This sheet contains a material that allows it to adhere to the phone screen without leaving annoying traces.

A plastic screen protector is more flexible, gives a feel similar to the phone screen, and this makes it more resistant to various scratches and some cases of impact with the ground.

How does a screen protector work?

Since the screen protector acts as an additional layer for the screen, it has a fundamental task of protecting the screen from various scratches, however, you may wonder how.

The screen protector absorbs shocks instead of the original screen, thereby protecting the phone screen, which is essential in our current time, because any electronic device without a screen surface made of high-quality materials requires this protector to prevent screen damage.

However, the screen protector will be more fragile than the phone screen, and therefore in case of a high fall, the original screen may also be exposed to some scratches, however, the additional layer will absorb the majority of the impact and breakage.

The impact of scratches on the phone may not be just cosmetic, but scratches affecting the touch sensitivity in addition to the possibility of affecting the bright pixels, and these problems will be difficult to repair.

Finally…

It has become clear that the screen protector is essential and very important, however, it protects from light impacts, absorbs a percentage of the shock energy, so its job is to mitigate shocks rather than completely prevent them as everyone thinks.
