Belkin's New iPhone X Screen Protectors Now Available

[MacRumors]

Belkin's new InvisiGlass Ultra and Anti-Glare screen protectors for iPhone X are now available to purchase.

InvisiGlass Ultra is made with 0.21mm ion-strengthened glass supplied by Corning, the same manufacturer of iPhone display glass. Belkin says the screen protector improves the iPhone X's scratch resistance by up to three to five times, with up to a 25 percent increase in protection against cracking and breakage from drops.

The anti-glare screen protector is said to reduce harsh reflections from both sunlight and artificial lighting, allowing you to view the screen comfortably in bright conditions. The ultra-thin screen protector has an anti-scratch coating.

Both screen protectors include a cleaning cloth and so-called EasyAlign sticker in the box for easier installation at home. The anti-glare version can also be professionally installed at an Apple Store with Apple's ScreenCare+ application system.

Belkin's InvisiGlass Ultra and Anti-Glare screen protectors are $39.95 and $19.95 respectively on Apple's online store in the United States. Both are currently estimated to ship in one business day.

Never used a screen protector since the first iPhone back in 07... never an issue.

 

[KONVICTED]

That's pretty expensive for a screen protector.

 

[CaptMarvel]

$40?? Yikes, but I’m sure there will be cheaper alternatives that perform the same, if not better.

 

[joshwenke]

When the screen protector cracks instead of the phone, you're only out $40 compared to ~$279 repair costs.

 

[Porco]

Outrageous prices. I suggest seeking alternatives, of which there will be many, many options.

 

[sparkie7]

Do they wrap all the way around the curved sides of the screen? Or just flat partial coverage?

 

[OriginalClone]

I wonder if these (screen protectors) will affect the accuracy of Face ID.

I've got the $40 on my 8 Plus that they installed in store. Never used a screen protector before and I love this one. It does not wrap around due to the beveled edges of the iPhone but I don't mind. Gives good piece of mind, I baby my phone and yet it seems like every year I get some kind of scratch on the display that drives me crazy.

 

[NoFace1006]

Worth noting that these usually come with a two year warranty so if it does break then you should be able to get it replaced. So yes, it may be $40 for a screen protector but factor in the warranty and replacements which others don't offer and it turns out to be a good deal, especially if you're someone that breaks screen protectors regularly.

Pre-Ordered and received a ZAGG glass screen protector(for the iPhone X).I’ve had really good luck with it on my 6S(no ware, perfect 6-7 months later)

EDIT: Also wanna add mine was around 40$

 

[jonnysods]

Just to add to the price!!

 

[johnyslats]

Here’s a pic showing the extent of coverage of the screen protector. Should be no issues with the sensor housing as it follows the notch

When the screen protector cracks instead of the phone, you're only out $40 compared to $100+ repair costs.

You mean the $279 repair cost.

No, they have a cutout for the notch which houses the cameras, so no interference.

 

[honglong1976]

Wait and they will be £1 in a pound shop in the UK like all the other screen protectors!

 

[macduke]

Do they make one for the rear glass? That's the more expensive side when it comes to having Apple fix it—$549! I'd rather buy full back coverage and leave the front alone since it's only $29 to fix if you're on AppleCare+.

 

[jb502]

So, only the anti glare one can be installed at the apple store?

 

[I’mpaced]

Call me cheap but I’ve always bought the glass protectors on amazon for 6-7 dollars...like I did last night in an Anker brand

Cool. I didn’t even look at the picture to notice that

 

[Razeus]

I don't get why people used these. I never used one ever. I've never had a problem with screen scratches, even back in the day when iPhones were inferior to today's tech.

But then again, I've never cracked a screen, yet I see people with cracked screens all the time.

 

[hansenc]

Going to look much better on the X than it does on the old iPhones.

 

[DTECHQUE]

$40?? Yikes, but I’m sure there will be cheaper alternatives that perform the same, if not better.

Honestly you’re just buying it because of the brand...

I’ve have never had a cracked screen either but I still put these on

With the iPhone upgrade program, I stopped worrying about scratching the screen. My 7 has micro scratches over a year of use. I much prefer not using a screen protector.
