I'd go on Youtube and google reviews based on your make and model of phone.

I ordered these for my new 17. Went on perfectly first time. As always, prep is everything - sticky pad particularly.

Are they really necessary these days with gorilla glass and all ?
I haven't bothered for a few years and there's no scratches on my screen

I am not sure - but I'd hate even the smallest scratch on the screen of a £1,100 iPhone, particularly when screen protectors completely eliminate the risk and are indistinguishable from the unadorned screen. With a protector it can go in any pocket with keys or whatever. A scratch is there forever. frown

i have one on my 15 Pro but purely because it's a matte finish and doesn't show fingermarks or shine on the screen, that was Amazon by a brand called Mothca.

Another vote for that ESR; almost fool proof. I’m OCD so would hate any scratches on the original screen, and it also feels better with an Apple case as the protector reduces the lip of the case

I like the privacy element of it too.

i never bother but my last 2 phones (Pixel 6 and Pixel 9) have both ended up with scratched screens somehow.

Work supplied iPhone came with a protecter, the protecter is cracked.

On Amazon or eBay I just search for 'tempered' plus phone model and buy whatever is cheap. Most work fine if screen is flat, curved screens are a bit more problematic.

My Samsung s21U came with a thin film one from the factory already in place and it still is now nearly 5 years later, the screen has a slightly curved edge. There are some fine scratches on it but it has done a decent job although I am fairly careful with the phone.

I have a One Plus 9 Pro and a Google Pixel 9, both without screen protectors. No scratches. None.

I prefer the matt finish ones - which on Amazon always seem to be from brotect.

I also like to get protectors for the cameras on the phone as well.

There are protectors that come with an applicator - which I find very useful for getting the protector on bubble free.
