The clean bench at amFilm

We started with one annoying problem

amFilm began because a handheld console kept collecting scratches in its own dock. The fix was obvious and nobody was doing it well: a thin sheet of tempered glass, cut to the exact body, packed with the tools needed to land it clean. That first Switch set is still the product people know us for, and it still ships in pairs.

What we actually do

We draw a cut line from the device itself, specify the glass, set the chemical tempering, and then spend most of our time on the part everybody else treats as packaging — the tray, the wipes, the dust sticker. A screen protector that fits badly is worse than none, because it adds a lip for grit to collect behind.

Our range now covers phones, tablets, laptops and gaming handhelds. The glass specification is the same across all of it: 9H hardness, 0.33 mm, 2.5D polished edge, oleophobic top coat, above 99 percent light transmission on the clear finish.

What we will not do

We do not sell a universal sheet. We do not cut a model line until we have the device on the bench. We do not ship a set without a spare if the device is one people keep for years. And we do not describe a matte or privacy sheet as offering more protection than clear, because it does not — the glass underneath is identical.

Why tempered glass and not film

A tempered glass screen protector works by spending itself. Chemical tempering puts the outer layer of the sheet under compression, so a strike has to overcome that stress before it reaches the glass underneath — and when it finally does, the sheet takes the damage instead of the original screen. A plastic film cannot do that. Film resists light scratches and nothing else; an impact passes straight through it into the panel.

That is the whole argument for glass, and it is why we specify every sheet the same way regardless of which device it is cut for. Hardness keeps sand and keys from leaving scratches during a normal year of pocket life. Thickness and the 2.5D edge keep the sheet from catching. The adhesive layer decides whether the protection stays bonded after the first drop rather than lifting at a corner.

This site

Everything here is our own catalogue, written by us. Each shelf groups screen protectors by the device they were cut for, so a model year never has to share a page with a cut that does not fit it. Prices and availability shown on a product page come from the live listing at our partner store and are refreshed regularly, but the listing itself is always the final word. Checkout, payment, delivery and returns all happen there.
