iPhone Screen Protectors That Make All The Difference
There was a time, long ago, when you could drop your phone from a second-floor balcony, and it'd still be functioning perfectly when you ran down to pick it up. Sadly, they don't make them like that anymore, unless you want a sturdy, rugged brick to lug around all day.
On the plus side, an iPhone with a case can do way more than the older bricks ever dreamed of. You win some, you lose some.
Thankfully, there's a lot of accessories around to make sure our precious babies stay protected, like our screen protectors. It's hard to think of a reason not to have one these days, and some of your besties doubtless have stories of that one time a fall or scrape could've been much worse without their screen protector.
At Wildflower, we're all about style and expression, but we also understand that protecting that fashion statement is just as important. We're excited to introduce you to our tough yet charming screen protectors and all the features that make them so awesome.
Screen Protection Matters
You've just bought a new iPhone, and are busy dealing with all the nitty gritties that come along with it. Someone suggests that you choose a screen protector. But why? You'll take care of your new darling. It's not like you're going to drop it, or anything.
Then one day you do.
Sadly, there's a lot that can damage a smartphone screen. Drops are perhaps the most common way, but aren't the only ones. The screen could be scratched by an over adventurous toddler or your hip might bump into the corner of a table, with your iPhone still in your pocket. Not to mention, there's a lot of gradual wear and tear that can confront a screen over its many years of use.
While companies like Apple do take measures to make their screens shatterproof and more damage resistant, it doesn't mean they won't get chipped or scratched. Having a tempered glass screen protector is a good way to ensure there's something else to cushion the blow and take the fall.
Scratches or Breakages Begone
You may have heard of Apple's Ceramic Shield technology. It's a special type of glass, present on any Apple iPhone (12 and beyond) that reduces the risk of your screen breaking. It's some neat tech that involves ceramic nanocrystals and dual ion exchange. This makes for tougher glass. But that does come at a cost.
Investing all that technology into drop protection means that your iPhones scratch protection suffers. Just because it can't crack easily doesn't mean the same applies to scratches. Yes, sadly, one doesn't guarantee the other. You can't have the cake and eat it too when it comes to total screen protection.
That said, it's way more expensive to replace a cracked screen, so it makes sense for Apple to have focused their efforts in that direction.
To properly keep your baby safe, you're going to need an extra layer of protection, and that's where the humble screen shield for iPhones comes in.
The Many Types of iPhone Screen Protectors
There are many types of screen protectors for iPhones out there. Just to list a few:
- PET protector - This screen protector uses a polyester film to protect your phone. They're clear and scratch-resistant, but their low price often comes with the cost of less drop resistance, especially when compared with other types.
- Thermoplastic Polyurethane protector (TPU) - This protector features a chemically enhanced plastic that protects your device. Their flexibility helps them absorb impacts and the rubbery plastic borders found on the edge of many TPU screens helps soak up hard knocks.
- Hydrogel protector - This innovative protector uses a rubbery, elastic gel that not only resists scratches but also self-heals. The hydrogel naturally expands to cover existing dents and minimize impact. This flexibility is useful, but it does mean that the clarity of the screen suffers.
- Tempered Glass protector - This screen protector is by far and away the most popular type of safeguard out there today, and for good reason. Not only does the raised glass surface offer better protection against drops and scratches, but its clarity offers unrivaled screen quality and brightness. This glare-reducing tempered glass is also found in high priority safety areas like windshields.
Our screen shield for iPhone goes for the best option, offering you protection and perfect screen quality. Yes, we're talking about the beauty and security of tempered glass.
Introducing the Wildflower Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Screen protectors from Wildflower are designed for wildflowers like you. We think it's important to be out there embracing every moment to the fullest, living your best life without having to worry about your precious phone coming to any harm. We provide care so you can run carefree.
Because of that, our iPhone display protectors have a range of neat features:
- Anti-fingerprint and high-transparency - A good screen protector should feel like it isn't even there. Our tempered glass ensures you still get the best visibility. And even if your hands are all over your phone, your fingerprints won't be.
- Scratch resistant - Our tempered glass is made to withstand scratches, the most common cause of screen damage.
- Touch sensitivity - Even with the protector in place, you'll still have that instant responsiveness that you'd get without one. The .33mm thin tempered glass ensures that.
- Tempered glass - The real substance of the protector is made from glass that's undergone all sorts of thermal and chemical tests. All this makes for a very strong safeguard. Better still, it looks and feels just like the screen it's covered underneath.
- Automatic exhaust - The last thing you want are bubbles on your screen. Thankfully, the automatic exhaust helps expel air and keep the protector in close contact with the screen.
- Explosion proof - It sounds quite dramatic, but normal glass has a tendency to explode on impact. Our tempered glass protectors on the other hand are designed to handle the force of a fall and keep things together.
- 9H hardness - 9H uses the same hardness grading as a 2H pencil, and we know how hard those can be. This toughness makes our screen protectors highly resistant against scratches.
No matter the type of your device, from iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 Pro Max, we've got just the right size to ensure you're protected.
The Wildflower Screen Protector
Our standard iPhone glass protectors. This sleek, see-through, and super slim cover is still every bit as tough as it needs to be. All the features listed above can be found jam packed into a protector that you won't even notice is there. It's your solution to handling cracks and scratches. Think of it as a guardian angel.
The standard screen protector comes in every size of iPhone, from 11 onwards. Unfortunately, we don't stock any to fit the iPhone SE.
Wildflower Privacy Screen Protector
Protection is one thing, but you may also be looking for a little extra privacy to keep your screen safe from prying eyes. We've got you covered with the perfect cover too. Tempered glass is already good at reducing glare, but this goes one step further.
Our privacy screen protectors come with all the nifty features of their standard counterparts, but with an extra layer on top to reduce overall transparency to 65%. You'll be able to text and snap away, knowing your baby is safe not only from drops and scratches, but also from unwanted attention.
How to Apply Your Screen Protector
We get it. Putting a screen protector on a screen can be nerve-wracking. There's the pressure to line up everything perfectly and ensure no bubbles, stray hair, or dust find their way under the screen. It takes a little bit of care and focus, but it's definitely doable. Here's how:
- Use a microfiber cloth to remove any dust, lint, and hair from your screen. If there are stubborn marks or grease spots, use a slightly damp cloth first and ensure the screen dries.
- Peel off the side of the protector that'll be sticking to the screen, starting from the corner.
- Align the tempered glass screen protector with your iPhone and make sure that it lines up properly. All holes and cutouts should align with the cameras and speakers.
- Once in place, press the protector down lightly, starting in the middle of the screen.
- From there, spread your fingers out on both sides, applying steady even pressure until you reach the edges. With any luck, there won't be any bubbles.
- Once secured, take the protective seal off the top of the protector, starting with the corner.
- If you do spot any small air bubbles remaining, use the microfiber cloth or a credit card to gently nudge them to the edge and out from under the tempered glass.
It may seem daunting, but it really is that straightforward. We believe in you.
The Protection You Can't Be Without
Screen protectors for iPhones are a necessary evil. You can't have that gorgeously large screen with all that tech packed underneath without some kind of downside. Thankfully, we've got you covered with our slim yet sturdy screen protectors. Their scratch resistance provides that extra layer of protection that Apple's Ceramic Shield may miss.
You shouldn't have to stop the party because you're scared. Start shopping with Wildflower and get your iPhone fully kitted out and protected for those seamless selfie sessions.
