Glass films are often best for drop protection on phones, films are flexible, privacy filters block side views. This category sits in between: glass-like, 9H scratch-resistant, and matte.
Here’s a practical overview:
- Glass film / screen glass: usually more rigid, very clear look, often coated; on smartphones it’s often the go-to choice when you also want impact protection.
- Protective film (PET/TPU): thin and flexible, good everyday scratch protection, often strong edge adhesion on curved screens, but less impact cushioning.
- Privacy filter: reduces side viewing for travel/office use, can slightly darken the display.
The BROTECT AirGlass Matt Glas Panzer-Folien is a glass-like film with a 9H coating and a matte anti-glare surface. It gives you a more stable, scratch-resistant surface than classic films and is especially useful if you want fewer reflections. For stationary devices (e.g., laptops/monitors), films or flexible hybrid solutions can be convenient for touch/hygiene and easy cleaning.
