Key insights
Top 5 Screen Protectors for iPhone 15
ESR Armorite (#5)
Despite leading the pack for the iPhone 14 version, the iPhone 15 version disappoints due to its poor oleophobic coating and decreased durability. Nevertheless, it still offers better protection than most, coming with additional accessories like camera lens protectors at a good price.
Dbrand Tempered Glass (#4)
Notable for its strong impact resistance, but suffers from weak edges, placing it at #26 out of 44 in edge strength. The average oleophobic coating and installation tools detract from its appeal.
Taurus Screen Protector (#3)
Offers a strong oleophobic coating, great coverage, and good value with better installation tools than ESR and Dbrand. However, its durability is only slightly above average.
Banks Glass Warrior (#2)
Features an exceptional oleophobic coating causing water to slide off effortlessly, offers the second-best coverage with unique but possibly non-useful design elements. The major downside is its high price.
Flow Lab 3D Infinity Edge (#1)
This screen protector excels in almost every aspect; toughness, minimal reflectiveness, and a curvature that emulates the absence of a screen protector. It provides excellent installation tools, adding to its value despite being on the pricier side.
Noteworthy Mentions
Zagg XTR3
Markedly underperformed, described as a "dumpster fire," ranking at #37 out of 44 for its poor oleophobic coating and high cost.
Emerging Trends and Insights
The technology and quality of screen protectors vary significantly, with some brands improving over time and others regressing. Innovations like minimal reflectiveness and design elements that enhance user experience are becoming differentiation points. However, durability, especially edge strength, remains a common area for improvement across multiple brands.
