People usually use tempered glass screen protectors, but tempered glass screen protectors are expensive, break easily, and feel average. Has anyone used TPU screen protectors? Can provide the following comments
If you want something really expensive but made of Sapphire get a Shellrus otherwise tempered is the most viable solution for a reason.
They’re neat and even have a cooling property due to the nature of sapphire so definitely a different touch experience. However, anything that has extremely high scratch resistance is more brittle so if you drop your phone a lot it’s not the best.Wasn't aware that such a thing exists... thanks, now I'm really tempted to get one for myself.
Sounds great. It's a shame they're charging ~58$ for shipment to Europe which brings the price for one of those up to ~130$. Sigh.They’re neat and even have a cooling property due to the nature of sapphire so definitely a different touch experience.

How is the oleophobic coating? Does it hold up well? That’s my main reason for using protectors. Hate the smudges that are constant after a few months - thus like to change them out and get that new feeling again.Spigen EZ Fit is great and couldn't be easier to install
totally recommend

No idea. Haven’t used a screen protector since ceramic shield was introduced.How does the oleophobic coating hold up?
I just got these on your recommendation.iCarez on Amazon. Cheap and fantastic !
I’ve been using some cheap anti-glare protectors for this reason. Feels great and smudges are few and far between. Outside of that I think they’re a waste as they’re so much more brittle than the Screen itself (not sure why Screen is a proper noun but hey, do your thing Apple).How is the oleophobic coating?

Another iCarez user here. Once my family/friends saw it I had to install one on all their phones too. We've been using them for years. The Matte one.iCarez on Amazon. Cheap and fantastic !
What brand do you prefer?I have always just used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) -- proabably for the last ten years. Cheap and easy to apply. Protects the screen from scratches and has great clarity. Replacement is easy and, again, cheap. This type of screen protector combined with a case to protect against a drop is really all I have ever needed to keep my phone in pristine condition.
I've used several brands. Currently, using some from Tech Armor, which seem to be working well enough.What brand do you prefer?
I don’t mind paying if the oleophobic coating lasts well and does it’s job for a decent length of time. How is that holding up? With a normal glass protector, I find myself changing it out every couple months- hate the smudges when the coating starts to wear off.I am using Shellrus Sapphire since 2 years (iPhone 12 Pro and then iPhone 13 Pro Max) and I can`t go back.
Yes, they cost a lot but I never broke one and I am still super happy. A lot less fingerprints than on my iPhone 12 Mini which I use for work.
But I can understand when People don`t want to spent that much on a screen Protector.
Thanks for the link to the video. I ordered the Shellrus. I’ll report after I have it for awhile to determine if I would buy it again for my next phone.as what I read is that the sapphire Screen protectors does not have an oelophobic coating. The same effect is given by the sapphire itself. I can confirm that I do not have a lot of fingeprints compared to my iPhone 12mini with ESR on it.
Also wiping it down with a shirt cleans it completely. You can check out this Video if you want to know more.
