Zagg can burn in hell. See my post in the rant section. Phone fell less than a foot with their "protector" and shattered worse than when I've cracked them with no screen protection.

The screen protector isn’t to keep it from shattering when dropped, it’s to protect from scratches and the like. Any glass screen can shatter when it hits the wrong way. Sounds like your rant should be against the phone itself. I’ll stand by Zagg as I’ve had good luck with them and yes, I have dropped my I-phone and my screen has never scratched or shattered.

Agreed. If you want drop proof you chose the wrong product type, not manufacturer.

I wish apple would come out with a durable product.

My previous phone was a casio G shock milspec phone from Verizon. It had a gorilla glass screen that needed no protection, was waterproof to 33' and that thing took a BEATING including submerged in water and dropped 100 times and never once failed....... It did a software update on Thanksgiving 2016 and started locking up every 5 minutes and I got pissed and bought an IPhone 7, when it most likely was an app interfering with the software update...... I had the previous version of this and you could not kill it

The iPhone 7 is the strongest most durable iPhone they every built. Thing is a tank. Watch some of the drop tests. It outlasted most of the competition.

Then why do I have an apple battery case and a screen protector on it?

Look at the link of the phone I posted. You could punch the screen with your knuckle, no need for a case and completely waterproof to over 33'.

Well the smart battery case is awesome, mine had my phone at 100% basically 95% of the time. I wish they made one for the x. As for a screen protector I have no idea. I had the 7 for a year without one and no scratches or cracks. Maybe you just have butter fingers?

I like the Sparin brand glass screen protectors. Their coating is the smoothest of the ones I’ve used.

Price is right on Amazon, for the iPhone they include a frame to get correct placement. Also have them on my iPads as well.

I want the thinnest one I can find. I use the iCarez 0.2mm glass screen protector. I'll keep usimg them as long as they are around. I've been forgetful and stuck screwdrivers, wrenches, needle nose, ect in my back pocket while working on cars, not thinking that my phone was there. The iCarez saved my screen a couple times. I don't drop my phone so that isn't a worry.

Just recently cracked my iPhone 7 screen. I had a cheap (two for $12) tempered glass protector on it.
Apple gave me a new phone for the price of the screen repair ($140) which was great.

I've since put a premium protector on the new phone. My selection was Tech21 Evo Glass link
That's what T-Mobile guy suggested and he put it on for no cost and said it had lifetime warranty.
Pricy at around $40, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I purchased a Zagg screen protector for my iPhone 7 Plus about six months ago for $25. It has been broken for the last five months. I haven’t used their lifetime warranty because it apparently is a scam.

I like MaxBoost; great application setup.

But they all chip or crack eventually, so I signed up for emails from XtremeGuard and buy when they have 80-90% off sales. That tells you the markup on those $30-40 ones at the mall, Best Buy, or the phone carrier.

Great info all 'round, thanks to all. We went with the Otterbox and Linboll tempered glass SP's.

It appears that if you go with these off the main path phones the protection options are severely limited by comparison to the iPhone and Galaxy type offerings.

I just use a generic glass screen protector.

I'm just concerned about scratches on the screen.

I cannot see how a glass screen protector can protect against drops.
