Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 8 — 3 Pack

What the fit on the iPhone 8 looks like

Protection here is a stack: an oleophobic top coat, the tempered glass body, a shock-absorbing middle and the silicone adhesive that holds it down. The outline is machined for the iPhone 8, so there is no overhang and nothing for a case to catch. It goes on by hand with the guide frame from the box, which holds the sheet square while it drops. The glass takes the scratches the original screen would otherwise collect, and 9H is the rating that covers keys and sand.

Daily use, scratches and replacement

Day to day the sheet is a plain clear finish that keeps colour and brightness the way the panel renders them. Fingerprints wipe off with a dry cloth because of the oleophobic layer, and touch response does not change — the glass is thin enough that the digitizer reads through it unchanged. Expect a year of normal use before the surface starts to look tired; a sheet that has taken an impact will show a star or a crack line, and that is the signal to swap it. With 3 sheets in the box there is room for a second attempt. Keep the dust sticker from the box until the second sheet goes on, because a trapped speck is the usual cause of a bubble that will not press out.
