What are the best screen protector recommendations for the iPhone 17e right now? I'm finally upgrading from an old iPhone 12 mini. The battery on that thing is basically shot and I'm tired of squinting at the tiny screen, so the 17e's size and battery life were the main selling points for me. I did some digging and saw a lot of people mentioning the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit and the Belkin UltraGlass 2. The Spigen looks great because of that alignment tool, but I've seen some comments saying it doesn't always play nice with certain cases or leaves a gap at the edges. On the other hand, the Belkin is way more expensive at the Apple Store and I'm not sure if the durability actually justifies the price jump. I just want something that feels like the original glass and won't peel off in a month. Budget is flexible but I'm not looking to get ripped off. Are there any specific brands that fit the 17e display better than the big names?
So funny you ask this — last summer I spent a fortune on a "pro" protector (at the Apple Store, no less) and it cracked when I barely bumped my keys — wait, no — it was my charger. Anyway, don't overpay! I switched to the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit because it’s way cheaper and feels identical. Or grab the amFilm OneTouch Glass to save even more. Multipacks are the smarter play.
So funny you ask this — last summer I grabbed those cheap multipacks and tbh they felt like CRAP. Building on the earlier suggestion, I lowkey disagree that saving cash is worth it if you want that smooth glass feel. Grab the dbrand Tempered Glass instead. Quick tip: apply it in a steamy bathroom so you dont get dust.
I've been through three of these — tried ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass years ago and it was garbage — wait, no — it just bubbled. What case are you using? Torras Diamond Shield fits better.
