Glass offers the best scratch and impact protection thanks to its 9H hardness, while film is thinner and more flexible – both work well on the Edge Explore 2.

When it comes to screen protection for the Garmin Edge Explore 2, you can choose between two materials. Glass with 9H hardness offers the best protection against scratches, knocks, and drops, and suits the bike computer's flat display very well. A classic film is thinner and more flexible, making it nearly invisible while preserving an especially authentic touch feel. If you want the best of both, a hybrid glass film offers a middle ground, combining glass-like hardness with a more flexible build.

Clean the display with the wet wipe, dry it with the cloth, align the film using the cutouts, then smooth the air out from the middle towards the edges.

Start by thoroughly cleaning the Garmin Edge Explore 2's display with the included wet wipe, then go over it with the dry cloth to remove any remaining dust particles. Use the cutouts for buttons and sensors to centre the film, then gently press the air out from the middle towards the edges. If a few small air bubbles remain visible after application, they typically disappear on their own within 2 to 3 days as the display applies gentle pressure.

Our top pick is the BROTECT AirGlass screen protector – ultra-thin tempered glass with 9H hardness for reliable scratch and impact protection.

The BROTECT AirGlass screen protector is our top recommendation for the Garmin Edge Explore 2. It's roughly twice as thin and light as conventional glass protectors, yet still delivers the same scratch-resistant 9H hardness. The high-clarity surface keeps the bike computer's display perfectly readable in bright outdoor light, and the anti-fingerprint coating makes it easy to wipe clean after a sweaty ride.

Yes, full touch sensitivity is preserved, and the film handles rain, sweat, and moisture during rides without any issue.

Both the BROTECT AirGlass protector and the BROTECT films leave the Garmin Edge Explore 2's touch sensitivity completely unaffected, so the device stays precise to operate even with cycling gloves on. The material is also moisture-resistant and copes well with rain, sweat, and occasional contact with cleaning water. Thanks to the anti-fingerprint coating, dirt and marks wipe off easily with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Yes, the upscreen Bacteria Shield film reduces bacteria on the display surface and adds extra hygiene during intensive use.

The upscreen Bacteria Shield protector features an antibacterial coating built into the surface, based on active metal oxides that reduce bacteria on the display without being harmful to skin. Since a bike computer is often operated with sweaty hands, this coating adds a welcome layer of everyday hygiene. The antibacterial effect is tested to ISO standard 22196 and remains effective even after repeated cleaning with solvents.

They reduce bacteria on the surface.

upscreen Bacteria Shield screen protectors are films with a specially treated surface. This surface helps reduce bacteria during daily use while still protecting the display from scratches.

No, touch response remains the same.

upscreen Bacteria Shield screen protectors are designed to preserve normal touch sensitivity. Gestures and inputs are registered accurately without noticeable changes.

Clean preparation helps.

For best results, the screen should be cleaned thoroughly before application. Applying the protector slowly in a low-dust environment helps avoid bubbles.

They focus on hygiene rather than impact protection.

upscreen Bacteria Shield screen protectors are thin and flexible with a focus on hygiene. Glass protectors are more rigid and mainly designed for impact protection.
