A tempered glass screen protector is a thin layer of specially processed glass that is designed to be placed over a devices display to protect it against scratches and cracks. It is made by extensively heating the glass and then quickly cooling it, which makes it incredibly strong and durable. Tempered glass screen protectors contain multiple layers, including an oleophobic nano-coating, anti-shatter film, and a penetrable silicone coating on top of the tempered glass, making them up to five times stronger than normal glass. They are more robust and durable than plastic protectors, and they safeguard devices better, prevent excessive fingerprints and oil smudges, and enhance the user experience by allowing fingers to glide more smoothly on the screen. While they may be a costlier alternative than plastic protectors, they provide superior protection and are resistant to scratches and other visible damage. Tempered glass screen protectors are also heat resistant and reduce glare, making them a popular choice for protecting smartphone screens.
