I recently got the Belkin anti-glare screen protector and it's surprisingly very blurry. It's cuts the sharpness and brightness on the phone A LOT!

Belkin is sending me an Ultra glass protector, so I'm hoping that will work.

Any recommendations?

I believe all Anti-Glare screen protectors use a Matte finish so the loss in clarity is unavoidable. The UltraGlass screen protector will certainly look much better. The only clearer screen protector would be a sapphire one as sapphire has higher transparency than glass.

Also, the UltraGlass having a thickness of 0.29mm instead of the typical 0.33mm will also help with clarity as it is slightly thinner.

amFilm One Touch looks good to me, and it's economical and extremely easy to apply.

I had the Belkin matte screen protector put on at the apple store. Guess I should have seen what other options they had but as long as it protected the screen was all I was concerned with at the time. Used it for a week and noticed it was blurry and also using it outside with sunlight was hard to see the screen.
Went on amazon and chose the Spigen tempered 2 pack. Easy to install and the screen is nice and clear, like it is without a protector. Rated high for impact on a YT screen protector test. Highly recommend.

Then you can use a film protector which doesn't affect the display brightness or makes it blurry. I bought a screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which is recommended by a friend, this protector has a unique feature where it self-heals most of the scratches on it. I'm using it with a back case and I didn't get any cracks on the screen.

I like the TOZO ones

Nice glide feeling and good fit and an alignment tool that makes it super easy

I have this one(no Face ID cutout) plus a Caudabe Sheath on my 13 pro. Case doesn’t lift up the protector and it’s crystal clear. Can’t say how durable but putting it on was super easy.
