Samsung Galaxy S10 Screen Protectors

If you’re the proud owner of a brand spankin’ new Samsung Galaxy S10 smarphone, you’ve probably spent more than a few minutes simply staring at the gorgeous, vibrant splendor of the phone’s incredible display. As you fall deeper and deeper in love with this eye-pleasing screen, you might start wondering what you can do to protect the display and make sure it stays pristine. 

The answer is simple: a screen protector. The right screen protector can help protect the display, and possibly even protect it from damaging drops and impacts. This, of course, can safeguard your wallet from having to shell out a bunch of cash to get the screen repaired or replaced. 

Read on to see the different types of screen protectors, and the main features and benefits of each type. This should help you decide which is the right type for your needs. 

Types of Screen Protectors 

Screen protectors can generally be divided into two categories: tempered glass and plastic film. Each type has its own set of benefits, which are outlined below. 

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors 

Do you prefer the feeling of smooth glass under your fingertips while you’re using your phone? If so, a tempered glass screen protector might be for you. Made from a glass material that’s rapidly heated and cooled, and combined with layers of silicone or film, these screen protectors are very durable. They maintain a fully transparent clarity that allows the beauty of your display to come through clearly. 

Tempered glass screen protectors are designed to deal with impacts in a way that can help safeguard your phone’s screen. When they’re hit with a sharp force, they shatter into a bunch of tiny pieces that stay in place, instead of flying everywhere. This can help reduce the impact on your phone’s screen and increases the chance that it won’t take any damage. 

Since tempered glass screen protectors offer so many benefits, they do tend to cost a bit more. You might find that one of these protectors is worth the cost, especially if the features outlined above are important to you. 

Plastic Film Screen Protectors 

The more common type of protectors is the plastic film version. This type of screen protector tends to carry a lower price tag, so it’s easy to buy a new one if your current one gets scratched. Just peel off the old one, slap on a new one, and you’re good to go. 

Some people find it annoying to apply a plastic film screen protector because you have to be very careful to make sure it’s in the right position. If you’re one of these people, check out the plastic film screen protectors that are applied through a wet installation process. This requires you to spray your phone’s screen with water (don’t worry, most newer phones are water resistant) and this gives you the opportunity to adjust the protector’s position so you can get it just right.
