The 2 Best iPhone Screen Protectors of 2025
Top pick
You can expect great glass, complete protection, and a foolproof installation tool for proper alignment.
Also available for these iPhones:
The Spigen GlasTR EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Sensor Protection) is the best iPhone screen protector, because it’s affordable, tough, and easy to apply. It’s as clear and strong as any glass protector we’ve ever tested. Also, this Spigen protector covers the front-facing cameras, providing as much protection as possible. Plus, you get two protectors in each inexpensive package.
Applying this screen protector is extremely easy. Newer-model iPhones, including the 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, have edge-to-edge displays without a Home button to help align the protector, so an alignment tool is essential for good installation. Spigen’s screen protector installation is the absolute best we’ve found, and the included visual instructions make the process clear. Each box includes two plastic installation trays, with the glass already in place. Once you’ve cleaned your phone’s screen with the included alcohol wipe, dry wipe, and dust-removal sticker (if necessary), you peel off the backing from the screen protector and snap the frame onto your phone. This design ensures that you can’t misalign the glass. The instructions guide you to press and slide along a sticker on the front of the protector and then remove the frame.
This process allows anyone—not just those with experience and a steady hand—to line up a screen protector perfectly every time. As long as you clean the phone’s screen thoroughly before installation, you won’t have any air bubbles underneath.
It offers full coverage. This GlasTR EZ Fit protector covers the iPhone’s display yet leaves enough room to avoid interference with most cases. We appreciate that the edges of the glass aren’t sharp—something we’ve seen on several glass screen protectors—since that can make a phone uncomfortable to use. This protector matches the size and shape of the iPhone’s display, and on the iPhone 17 models, it leaves only the earpiece exposed. We tested extensively to confirm that the cameras and sensors wouldn’t be affected by being covered with glass, and we found no issues.
Spigen’s glass is as clear as it gets. We saw no problems with clarity or brightness, and we quickly got used to the GlasTR EZ Fit protector being on the phone. Although any glass surface accumulates fingerprints and oil from skin, we found that this protector’s glass didn’t show them too readily, and they wiped off easily. The touchscreen’s responsiveness was unaffected, since it still recognized even the slightest brush of a finger and still worked with touchscreen gloves.
It’s tough, too. In our Mohs hardness tests, the GlasTR EZ Fit protector measured between 7 and 8. That’s as high a rating as we’ve found on any glass screen protector we’ve tested, and it’s significantly higher than the results we got with some competitors. We also saw no damage when we tested the GlasTR EZ Fit protector by scraping it with house keys, a good sign of real-world protection. And after carrying the phone in our bag for a few weeks, we didn’t see any significant buildup of dust around the glass’s edges, which is a problem with some adhesive protectors.
It’s a great deal. Not only is the GlasTR EZ Fit protector much less expensive than protectors from the big brands, but the low-priced package also includes two screen protectors. And since you’re unlikely to mess up the installation, that means you have a backup or an extra protector to share with a friend. If you break your screen protector, Spigen offers a one-year replacement program through which it gives you 50% off the full price of a new one.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
The GlasTR EZ Fit protector’s installation tray makes the process simple, but it also creates waste. (This is common among similar screen protectors.) You end up throwing away single-use plastic, and that’s a problem. We hope to see the concept evolve into something less wasteful in the future.
