Remember back in the day when screen protectors were a dirt cheap plastic film and you could buy big sheets of it and custom cut it with scissors for your phone? Cost like 10 cents for a screen protector? Then came the bullet proof, space shuttle glass screen protectors for like $12 a pop? Turns out the expensive space age glass stuff breaks super easy. I want off this crazy ride. Anyone know where to get the old school JNCO wearin, NIN listenin screen protector material?

    I hate the glass! They break so easily. I buy the plastic film ones on Amazon in 2 or 3 packs usually. I’ve never seen the sheets that you can cut. What’s your phone?

    If you hate glass protectors you can always use hydrogel ones. That’s what I use on my phones and never had problems with them. The glass ones always breaks on me like a day or 2 after I install them and I don’t even drop my phones that often, they just break from the lightest drops. So I swiched do hydrogel ones and I have the same protector since January and its still fine.

    You can still get plastic (non tempered glass) screen protectors

    I prefer plastic matte screen protector over glossy and usually get ones from the company IQ shield

    Buy protectors cheap on AliExpress? I get them at like $1 each for an iPhone. Even cheaper in bulk. Works flawless.
