Which screen protector offers the best drop protection?

Question

Which screen protector actually handles drops the best? My clumsiness is legendary and I just cracked my screen for the third time this year, so I need something serious before I trade in for the new iPhone next week.

Im currently looking at the Spigen GlasTR and the Zagg Glass Elite, or maybe just splurging on that Belkin one at the Apple Store. My budget is around 40 bucks max, but if something cheaper is just as good, that would be awesome since I live in a pricey city and everything costs way too much here. Is it worth paying extra for the Zagg warranty or does the Spigen hold up fine on its own?

^ This. Also, since youre getting a new phone, keep in mind that a protector is only half the battle. If youre as clumsy as you say, you really need a case with a decent lip around the edge. Adding my two cents on protection, I would suggest looking into the Torras Diamond Shield Screen Protector because it feels pretty thick compared to the cheaper ones. Make sure to watch a tutorial before applying it too. Some tips for success:

Clean your screen under a bright light so you spot every bit of dust.

Use the sticker guides if they come in the box.

Apply it in a bathroom right after a shower to reduce dust in the air. Definitely dont skip a good case, maybe something from OtterBox Defender Series Case to go with the screen shield. Better safe than sorry!

Oh man, I totally feel your pain! Three screens in a year is brutal. Honestly, skip the pricey Apple Store options, you are just paying for the logo there. I have been using the Spigen GlasTR EZ FIT Tempered Glass for a while now and it is absolutely amazing! It is super easy to install because of the tray and it feels just like the real screen.

It saves so much money compared to the name brands

Fits perfectly every single time

Seriously durable for us clumsy folks If you want peace of mind, the Zagg Glass Elite Screen Protector is great too, especially for the warranty, but the Spigen one has saved my phone from so many drops. Stick with that and use the extra cash for a really solid case!

Tbh, stop wasting money on those expensive ones. I dropped mine constantly and the ESR Armorite Screen Protector saved me tons. Just be careful with the alignment when applying it!
