The iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max UltraFit Armorite Pro Screen Protector uses Corning glass instead of the generic tempered glass most screen protectors use. The Corning glass used for this product is the same type used to manufacture the displays on Apple devices. This allows the protector to match the device’s display durability and clarity without dulling it. The packaging includes a protective frame to help you align the protector during installation, and the protector has an oleophobic coating to prevent finger smudges from building up over time.
A screen protector that goes on straight the first time
Corning glass is the specification you want to pay attention to when choosing screen protectors. Tempered glass used in other screen protectors will scratch easily from keys and sand after just a few weeks of use. Corning’s glass, however, is rated to withstand the same level of damage as the display on your Apple device. Many less expensive tempered glass products can also add a hazy finish that dulls the colors and creates a washed-out appearance on a bright display.
A 3-pack means you have replacement screen protectors in a drawer instead of ordering one every time the glass gets damaged. Spares also change how the first installation goes. A small air bubble under the protector or a piece of dust stuck under the glass no longer becomes a disaster; instead, it gives you a chance to pull it out and start over in about five minutes.
The use of an installation frame is one way to eliminate what many people find to be the most frustrating part of applying screen protectors, meaning the process of lining them up by hand and then trying to locate and eliminate air bubbles or misaligned edges. The frame does not require you to line up anything. It simply fits over your device and automatically aligns every component. Although it may take a couple of minutes to line up all three protectors, it will save you time compared to having to do it yourself.
While case compatibility might seem like a non-issue regarding screen protectors, it is actually very important. Many inexpensive screen protectors fit outside of your phone’s raised edge and therefore provide a ledge upon which dust and dirt can collect. This protector is designed to fit inside these raised edges on your phone, allowing your case to seal tightly over the protector without any problem. Due to the thickness of the glass used in this protector, touch sensitivity is not affected. Your display is able to detect even the slightest touches made through the protector as if there wasn’t one present. You also receive an oleophobic coating that prevents skin oils from adhering to the surface of your screen, so you’ll be able to clean it much more easily. Simply wipe away any smudges from touching your screen throughout the week with a soft cloth, and you’re good to go.
