How To Replace Iphone 5 Screen Glass Only

Advertorial by Techmatte: the opinions expressed in this story may not reflect the positions of PhoneArena!

Smartphones are expensive. And we are all familiar with the very unpleasant feeling of damaging your phone. The horror is so pervasive in our culture that even hearing somebody else drop their phone will make you cringe on the inside.

So, we protect them. Grab a case, grab a good screen protector. Because that glass panel — no matter how strong they say it is — will get mini scratches over time, and it will shatter after an unfortunate drop.

OK, but what makes a good screen protector?

Well, there are a number of things you should be looking for.

How to find the best screen protector? Tips with amFilm glass protectors for iPhone 12

Tempered glass screen protectors are better than plain plastic ones

They feel better to the touch and they are arguably better at defending the screen

They need to be thin yet durable

I've literally seen a screen protector start crumbling from the edge and move towards the middle of the screen

They need to fit the device just right

A warped screen protector can lift off from the screen and create ugly bubbles. Some screen protectors' edges don't go all the way to the end of the screen and create an annoying "rainbow" edge. On the other hand, they need to stay within their bounds and not mesh with phone cases, too

They need to be easy to install

I've ruined plenty of screen protectors by putting them on crooked and therefore having to remove them. Bonus points for screen protectors that come with all the accessories you need.
