Which screen protector: case friendly, full cover or privacy?

Protective glass looks simple, but edge coverage and finish make a real difference. The best choice depends on your case, routine and preferred visibility.

In this guide
  1. Case friendly
  2. Full cover
  3. Privacy
  4. Installation kit or manual fitting

Case friendly

This glass leaves a small edge around the display, making it easy to combine with almost any case. It is the safest choice when compatibility comes first.

Full cover

Full-cover glass protects more of the front and creates a neat visual finish. Make sure the case does not push up the outer edge.

Privacy

Privacy glass limits side viewing. The display may look slightly darker, so you might use a higher brightness setting.

Installation kit or manual fitting

An alignment frame reduces the chance of dust and bubbles. Work in a clean room and do not rush the installation.

Frequently asked questions

Does privacy glass affect Face ID?

Correctly fitted quality glass should not block Face ID; keep sensors and cut-outs clean.

Can I reposition the glass?

Sometimes shortly after fitting, but repeated lifting increases dust and weakens adhesion.
