Glass protectors offer better impact resistance with 9H hardness; films are thinner and more affordable. For drop protection, a glass protector is the better choice.

The choice between a glass protector and a plastic film depends on your usage habits:

• Glass protectors (e.g. BROTECT AirGlass, upscreen Hybrid Glass): With 9H hardness, they provide significantly better resistance to point-impact stress such as edge drops. The oleophobic coating also noticeably reduces fingerprint smudges. Ideal for users who carry their device actively throughout the day.
• Plastic screen protectors (e.g. ScreenLeaf Clear, BROTECT HD-Clear): Extremely thin and nearly invisible. They reliably protect against everyday scratches while preserving the original display feel. A good choice when minimal added thickness is a priority.

Both types are compatible with the flat display of the Fairphone 6. If you want scratch protection combined with impact resistance, a glass protector is the more suitable option.

We recommend the BROTECT AirGlass screen protector: 9H hardness, ultra-thin, anti-fingerprint coating – maximum protection with full touch sensitivity.

For the Fairphone 6, we recommend the BROTECT AirGlass screen protector. This flexible hybrid glass film combines the scratch resistance of glass (9H hardness) with the flexibility of a film.

• 9H hardness: Reliable protection against keys, sand, and other sharp objects in daily use.
• Ultra-thin and ultra-light: Thinner than conventional glass protectors – original touch sensitivity is fully preserved.
• Oleophobic anti-fingerprint coating: Grease and fingerprints wipe off effortlessly.
• Made in Germany: Precision laser-cut and shipped directly from the manufacturer.

The combination of mechanical protection and minimal thickness makes this the ideal screen protector for the flat display of the Fairphone 6.

Yes. Glass protectors and standard screen protectors for the Fairphone 6 are generally case-compatible, as they do not extend beyond the device's bezel.

Most screen protection options for the Fairphone 6 are cut to work seamlessly alongside protective cases:

• Glass protectors (e.g. BROTECT AirGlass): With an added thickness of just a fraction of a millimetre, the protector sits flush within the display area and does not overhang the device edges, so it will not conflict with a case frame.
• Plastic screen protectors: These are even thinner than glass protectors and are virtually always case-compatible in practice.
• Tip for cases with wide inner frames: Cases with a particularly wide inner bezel may occasionally exert slight pressure on the edges of the protector. In this situation, a protector cut slightly smaller than the display (a case-friendly cut) is worth considering.

No edge-to-edge glass options extending to the device's side edges are available for the Fairphone 6 in this range, so the risk of case conflicts is inherently low.

Yes. The BROTECT Privacy film blocks side views up to 60°, filters blue light, and protects against scratches – ideal for public transport and the office.

A privacy screen protector like the BROTECT Privacy for the Fairphone 6 uses an integrated micro-louvre filter: the display remains clearly visible from straight ahead, while appearing dark to anyone viewing from an angle of roughly 60° or more to the side.

• Side-view protection up to 60°: Sensitive content such as emails, banking apps, or messages stays invisible to people next to you.
• Blue light filter: The film reduces the blue light component of the display, which may help reduce eye strain during extended screen use.
• Scratch protection: The anti-scratch coating also protects the display glass from everyday wear.
• Easy application: The silicone adhesive layer allows bubble-free, residue-free installation and removal.

Note: Due to the filter structure, the display will appear slightly darker than with a clear film – this is inherent to the technology and common to all privacy screen protectors.

Clean the display, choose a dust-free environment, align the protector, then press it down evenly from one side. Small bubbles usually disappear on their own.

A professional application takes only a few steps:

• Preparation: Thoroughly clean the display with the included microfibre cloth and alcohol wipe. Remove any remaining dust particles with the dust-removal sticker typically included in the package.
• Environment: Choose the most dust-free location possible. A recently wiped bathroom works well, as the humidity helps bind airborne dust particles.
• Alignment: Position the protector over the display before removing the backing. Check alignment at all edges and cut-outs.
• Application: Gradually peel off the backing and press the protector down evenly from one side to the other using the included squeegee card or applicator.
• Bubbles: Small air bubbles in PET films typically disappear within 24–48 hours. Persistent bubbles can be carefully pushed toward the nearest edge with the squeegee.

With glass protectors like AirGlass, the electrostatic adhesive layer virtually self-positions the film – careful alignment before placing it down is especially important here.

Yes, the matte surface visibly lowers reflections.

The matte finish of upscreen Reflection Shield Matt Schutzfolien diffuses incoming light.

This helps reduce glare and reflections on the screen.

Under bright lighting, the display appears calmer and easier to read.

Tempered glass is better for drop protection, while a matte film like upscreen Reflection Shield Matt Schutzfolien focuses on glare reduction and flexibility.

Tempered glass is rigid and better suited for absorbing impact from drops.

A matte film such as upscreen Reflection Shield Matt Schutzfolien is thinner and reduces reflections more effectively.

For office or indoor lighting conditions, the matte film often offers more visual comfort.

They are made of polyester with a functional hard coating and a silicone adhesive layer.

upscreen Reflection Shield Matt Schutzfolien are based on a polyester film with a functional hard coating.

The surface is matte and includes an anti-fingerprint finish.

A removable silicone adhesive layer ensures adhesion to the display.

Clean the screen carefully and smooth the film down slowly from one side.

Ensure the display is free from dust and grease before installation.

• Use a microfiber cloth.
• Align the film precisely.
• Apply from one edge.
• Push air outward with a card.

The silicone adhesive allows clean positioning and residue-free removal.
