Glass or film display protector

A guide to choosing the right display protector for you

Protective glass or film? Time and again, you ask yourself: ‘Which display protector is right for my smartphone?’ However, it’s not so easy to answer this question, as every display protector has its advantages and disadvantages, and everyone has their own display protection requirements.

We will help you to decide. One thing is for sure: With Hama, your smartphone is always very well protected.

What requirements must the display protector fulfil?

Clearly, your own requirements are at the forefront. Is your main priority to prevent scratches on the display, or does your everyday work or an active leisure pursuit call for advanced protection from display breakage?

    The glass lasts longer due to its material. Only needs to be replaced in the case of direct breakage.

    Film display protector

    The film wears more quickly due to its soft material. It therefore needs to be changed more often. However, the film has a ‘self-healing’ function that can make small, fine scratches in the film disappear.

Conclusion

Deciding between a glass and film display protector is not easy. Which of the two provides optimum protection for you will depend on your requirements. The glass wins outright in matters of scratch protection and durability; the film, on the other hand, is appealing as it is less visible and offers good value for money.

Glass display protectors

Our glass protectors prevent a lot of damage and your smartphone gets the maximum possible display protection. High-quality materials and the fit of the protective glass ensure that you can take the device with you everywhere without any need for concern: Beneath the protective glass, the display is totally safe from scratches, shocks and impacts. If something does get broken, then it’s only the glass display protector. And that’s how it should be.

Screen Protective Glass

The glass

The glass consists of a total of four different layers. This guarantees that the glass is totally safe and resistant (also called ‘four-layer technology’). The glass cannot shatter if it gets broken, but behaves like a windscreen or shower cubicle. The shatter protection film, which is installed in the middle of the glass, holds the fragments together. This also means that the display remains protected until the glass is replaced.

  1. Anti-fingerprint coating
  2. High-tech glass (hardness level 10)
  3. Shatter protection film
  4. Special adhesive layer
