Are Corner screen protectors worth it? Also, Japan rated glass.

[restock3eee]

In japan, they sell some really expensive screen protectors. They say like japan grade 8h or whatever it is. But I think that has nothing to do with "made in japan" glass and just the hardness level which is the same as any other countries standards?

Also different manufacturers sell corning glass screen protectors.

The title of your thread confuses me a little. Are you asking about "Corner screen protectors made of glass" or corner protectors that are placed at the corners of a TV or computer monitor, or even a table? How about explaining which device or object you plan to use the "glass corner protectors" on?

These corner protectors (above) aren't made of glass, but of a rubberized material, or plastic, wood, and even steel. For example to prevent injuries from the corners of the nightstand by your bed, I would use a nylon rubberized corner protection.

The ad copy can say a lot of things, which are unenforced, but the ultimate proof is in the product.

Sort of like how Wagyu beef used to mean a very specific breed of cattle, raised in a specific part of Japan, but has been perverted and applied to a lot of other things now. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is another example. Not the stuff Kraft peddles. Or Champagne, from that specific region of France, not sparking wine.

A protector may be made of glass from Asahi Glass, or Corning Glass, both companies that are over a century old, but that just refers to the raw material. The hardness rating is just that, and applies to glass from any origin.

That material may have better properties, but there is more that goes into making a protector, like the cut, the uniformity, the adhesive layers, and the coatings, which don't originate from those companies, but suppliers from inside China where they are made.

In short, even if it is authentic glass from those reputable companies, there are still no assurances aside from the raw material that was used.

I had to re-edit my post above. And you are correct about the companies and products you are referring to. As I mentioned before, now deleted, Japanese products are second to none relating to craftsmanship and quality.
