Tempered Glass VS Matte/Anti-Glare : Which one is For You
Tempered Glass
When it comes to screen protection, nothing compares to the feel and clarity of the glass. Tempered glass is also four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shards when it fails. Rated hardness of 9H offers superior protection from impacts, scratches, dust, scrapes and daily wear without reducing resolution or fading colors of your screen. A smudge-resistant coating significantly reduces appearance of fingerprints and smudges. Once you try it, you'll never use plastic screen protector again!
- Pros: The best protection for your device available to date. Feel and purity of real glass. No clarity/resolution loss with exceptional impact and scratch resistance.
- Cons: Price. Can only adhere to perfectly flat surface and available to limited number of models.
Matte/Anti-Glare
These screen protectors have special layer that prevent self-reflection and glare from natural day light as well as artificial lighting. The matte finish also significantly reduces appearance of fingerprints and smudges.
- Pros: Superb reduction of mirror-like reflection for improved viewing in bright light. A smooth touch-screen feel. Exceptional resistance to fingerprints and smudges.
- Cons: Slight loss in clarity and resolution.
Conclusion:
Tempered glass is quite safe as it fractures when pressure is applied to it. You don’t have to worry about it breaking in to shards. Before buying one, make sure that it comes with Olephobic coating, 2.5D 9-10 H hardness and silicon adhesive at the back so that it doesn’t affect touch sensitivity.
