A broken screen is the repair we do most often. Every day, in every store. In a big share of those cases we see the same thing: no screen protector, or one that was already broken and never replaced. A shame, because a screen protector costs a fraction of a new screen. But which one? We sell two kinds, and they really are different. Below I explain when to choose which.

Two kinds, two characters

Our tempered glass screen protector is hard and stiff. It feels exactly like your original screen, takes the scratches from keys and coins, and takes the hit when you drop your phone. If the glass breaks, it has done its job: the screen underneath is still intact.

The ThePhoneLab Skin is not glass, but a silicone protective layer that is applied to your screen with a special gel. It doesn't break, absorbs shocks and protects against scratches. That's why it often lasts much longer than glass.

Which one you choose is mostly a matter of personal preference. Does your glass protector break regularly, and are you fed up with glass splinters in your fingers? Then the Skin is the best choice for you. Do you hardly ever drop your device and do you love the feel of glass? Then go for our tempered glass.

Tempered glass with applicator: apply it yourself, right the first time

For almost every iPhone we have the ThePhoneLab Tempered Glass Screen Protector with Applicator. The applicator is a frame that you click onto your iPhone. You pull the tab, press the glass down and it's on. No searching for the right position, no air bubbles, no dust underneath. Always dead straight and perfect.

The glass has a coating that keeps fingerprints and grease away, and it fits under almost any case. You order it online and apply it at home, or you come by and we do it for you.

Don't want anyone next to you on the train to read along? Then there is the same screen protector with a privacy filter. Straight on, you see your screen clearly; from the side, it stays dark.

The ThePhoneLab Skin: cut to size in the store

We make the Skin in the store, live, to size for your device. That's why it fits any smartphone up to 8 inches: iPhone, Samsung and other brands. For tablets up to 11 inches there is a version of its own. If you have a device that no glass exists for, the Skin is the answer anyway.

You choose from four versions:

• Skin: clear and almost invisible. The best protection and our standard.
• Skin Mat: a matte surface, so less glare. Nice if you're outdoors a lot or read a lot.
• Skin Privacy: dark from the side, so nobody can look along.
• Skin Privacy Mat: the best of both worlds.

Because applying the Skin is more precise work than the glass with applicator, we do that for you. You order the Skin online and pick it up in one of our stores. That's why we can't ship it.

An extra advantage I often mention at the counter: a screen without scratches is worth a lot more as a trade-in. That way the Skin pays for itself several times over.

Which one do you choose?

• iPhone 12 or newer, and you like to apply it yourself or want it delivered at home: the tempered glass with applicator.
• Samsung, another brand, or an older iPhone: the Skin. We make that to size.
• You drop your phone more often than you'd like: the Skin. It doesn't break and absorbs the shock.
• You work a lot on the train or in the sun: the privacy glass or the Skin Privacy against onlookers, the Skin Mat against the sun.
• iPad or another tablet: the Skin Tablet.

Not sure? Bring your device to the store. We'll look at your screen and your case together and decide in a minute.

We do the applying

If you buy a screen protector from us, we'll apply it for you in the store for free. Our specialists do it all day long and know exactly how it should sit: no bubbles, no dust, straight. You're usually back outside within five minutes.

And if you combine the screen protector with a case, a camera protector or another accessory, you only pay for two of the three: the cheapest one is free.

ThePhoneLab. Like new for life.
