The iPhone 14 Pro Max is finally here, and it’s a big step forward for Apple’s smartphone lineup thanks to its innovative dynamic island. Those looking to buy a new smartphone for the holidays should keep two things in mind: stock shortages that could affect some areas, and the fact that it’s a good idea to choose a screen protector to protect your phone’s screen.
While it can certainly be frustrating to spend even more money on an already expensive phone, a screen protector is definitely worth it as it acts as a protective layer to protect your screen from being cracked, scratched or otherwise damaged. When we consider how many “dangerous” situations our phones end up in on a daily basis, it’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially since the iPhone 14 Pro Max has an updated screen that you want to keep in tip-top shape.

Belkin UltraGlass screen protector
Avg
-
It is claimed to be twice as strong as tempered glass
-
Extremely thin with 0.29 mm thickness
-
Includes “easy align” drawer
Against
-
No warranty for defects
The Belkin UltraGlass Screen Protector is one of the protectors sold directly by Apple, making it a favorite choice for many of the company’s fans. With good reason, as it’s incredibly strong, and Belkin claims it can withstand forces twice as strong as conventional tempered glass protectors. Installation is easy using the “easy align” tray included in the box, but if you need any extra help, you’ll need to purchase the display from an Apple store and pay extra for installation. It’s worth noting that this protector is on the more expensive side of things, which is certainly justified due to its quality, but the fact that there’s no warranty or free replacement is something to keep in mind.

InvisibleShield XTR2
Avg
-
Stellar “worry-free” guarantee.
-
Edge-to-edge protection
-
Anti-reflective gloss
The InvisibleShield XTR2 is the most expensive screen protector on this list, but its “no questions asked” guarantee makes the whole thing worth it. Essentially, if the InvisibleShield screen protector cracks, you get a new one for free, as long as you cover the shipping costs. Not only is the protector’s warranty solid, but the glass itself goes edge-to-edge, leaving no part of the screen exposed. Although Zagg has cheaper screen protectors, the XTR2 covers the new Dynamic Island, which is essential for keeping your screen protected and clean. The only downside to this screen protector is the high price, but for what it offers, it seems like a small price to pay in the long run.

Protective glass made of tempered glass DBrand
Avg
-
Smooth, polished edges
-
Pack of two
-
Relatively low price
Although Dbrand is known for its sarcastic approach to marketing, the products it offers are actually quite high quality. The company’s screen protectors are relatively inexpensive, only around $20, and offer a lot of features for the price. Perhaps the best thing about the protector is the polished edges that make it comfortable to slide from one side of the screen to the other. However, the difficulty with Dbrand’s screen protectors is the fact that they are made of more standard tempered glass. Although it is not a complete solution, since material is certainly better than nothing, there are many stronger protectors on the market. Luckily, if you do break one, Dbrand sells their protectors in a two-pack, so replacing them is cost-effective, but depending on how rough you are with your phone, you might end up ordering another set sooner than you’d like.

Ferilinso package of three pieces of tempered glass

Protective foils for the screen and cameras

A pack of three

Low price
Against

Tempered glass

Potentially short life of the camera protector
If you’re looking for screen protection that’s cheap, the Ferilinso Tempered Glass Three-Pack is as cheap as you’ll find. While the low price and high value for your money are enticing, there are definitely drawbacks to keep in mind. The screen protector is made of tempered glass, which means it’s less sturdy than other offerings, and while the extra protection for the camera is a plus, some customers have reported issues with them falling off their cameras after a few weeks of sliding them in and out of their pockets. Fortunately, the three-pack offers plenty of replacements for damaged glass and an alignment tray for easy application, but it’s definitely a product that you get what you pay for.

Torras’ Diamond Shield

-
Reducing blue light

Warranty for application

Bubble-free glue
Against

Reducing blue light can slightly change the colors of the screen
The actual application of a screen protector can be a cause for concern when buying a new phone since any bit of dust or other particles caught between the screen and the screen protector can turn into a noticeable bubble and be quite irritating. Fortunately, Torras Diamond Shield uses an adhesive that actively fights to reduce the number of unwanted blisters. If you still had problems with the app, then the screen protector warranty will cover you and a replacement will be sent to you. The blue light reduction that Torras screen protectors offer is something of a double-edged sword. Blue light can interfere with certain brain activities, such as your circadian rhythm, so it’s a good idea to reduce exposure, especially before bed. While reducing exposure is perfectly fine, using blue light reduction glass as a screen protector can slightly alter the color of displayed images.

OtterBox Amplify Glass Glare Guard

Anti-glare screen

Enhances low-light displays

“High strength” aluminosilicate glass.
OtterBox is known for making some of the toughest cases and screen protectors for Apple products, so recommending the brand’s latest protectors is a no-brainer. Its finish reduces glare, making your iPhone 14 Pro Max reliable even in the brightest conditions, and boosts low-light displays, meaning you’ll save battery because your phone doesn’t need to be running at peak brightness to be clearly visible. An aluminosilicate glass protector is much stronger than something like tempered glass, meaning you’re less likely to need a replacement from a drop. The only downside is that replacing a damaged screen can be expensive as it is offered around $45.
