I just got the new iPhone for my hiking trip this weekend and I am honestly terrified of breaking it because I drop my phone literally every day. I have never actually bought a screen protector before because my last phone already had one.
I went to the store and there were like fifty different kinds and some were glass and some were plastic and I have no clue what the difference is or if the expensive ones are actually better. I need to get something today so I can put it on before we leave. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am super stressed about it. What is the most durable screen protector for an iPhone that wont break immediately?

Just saw this. Honestly, my last store-bought protector was not as good as expected and shattered. Which iPhone model is it? I use ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass XTR3 for its superior impact technology.

Which iPhone model is it? In my experience:
- Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit 9H Tempered Glass is simple to swap.
- Belkin UltraGlass 2 Lithium Aluminosilicate is way sturdier. Both are reliable.

Honestly, I have had issues with most protectors I found in stores. Many were not as good as expected and shattered on my first mountain trek. Unfortunately, my experience showed that high price doesnt always guarantee actual durability.
- Plastic films fail on impact protection
- Basic tempered glass chips far too easily at the edges The one I got recently actually survived a drop, but those store-bought ones were a total waste of money.
