iPhone screen protectors

We're sure you plan to be super careful with your shiny new iPhone 15 but the reality is, accidents happen. Phones jump out of pockets all the time and the only way to ensure their safety is with a quality screen protector.

But you don't need to break the bank to keep your device safe. After all, you just committed a lot of money to a new phone! Still, it only makes sense to choose the best of the best to extend the life of your latest investment. So here are our top choices, regardless of what kind of screen protector you're after — blue-light, tempered glass or something simply cheap.

Belkin UltraGlass 2$55.61
OtterBox Premium Pro Blue Glass$68.00
Zagg InvisibleShield Privacy 360$59.95
EFM ScreenSafe Glass
with D3O Screen Armour$49.95

RRP $55.61

Belkin's most durable protector option has an anti-microbial coating to fight germs and prevent discolouration.


Pros & Cons
  • Cheaper than a screen repair
  • Comes with an easy-to-align application tray
  • Only comes with a two-year warranty

For a slightly cheaper option, Belkin's ScreenForce Tempered Japanese glass option for $29.95 is also a good pick.

Best warranty protector: OtterBox Premium Pro Blue Glass

This screen protector isn't just anti-scratch and fingerprint resistant, it's also anti-microbial to repel germs, protects against blue light and claims to survive a 6ft drop!


Pros & Cons
  • Impressive seven-year warranty
  • Packaging is sustainably sourced and fully recyclable
  • Quite expensive, but still cheaper than a new screen

If you're after a slighter cheaper version with the same seven-year warranty protection, check out OtterBox's Glass Screen Protector for $39.00. It offers the same vivid screen clarity and is anti-scratch and fingerprint-resistant.
