Why You Need a Glass Protector

Dropped your phone in a busy Delhi metro? Or scratched it in a dusty Jaipur market? A cracked screen can cost ₹10,000–₹50,000 to fix, and scratches cut resale value by 20% (hypothetical 2024 data). A glass protector is a tough, clear shield that saves your phone from drops and scratches.

At ScreenGuardian, we’ve run 500+ drop tests across India’s tough conditions—crowded trains, humid monsoons, and dusty streets. Our mobile glass protectors start at ₹599, offering premium protection for your phone. Ready to keep your screen safe? Let’s dive in!

What Is a Glass Protector?

A glass protector, often called tempered glass, is a thin layer of chemically strengthened glass applied to your phone’s screen. It’s tougher than plastic films, with 9H hardness to resist scratches and absorb impacts. ScreenGuardian’s glass protectors are 0.33–0.5mm thick, ensuring 99.9% clarity for AMOLED displays like the Xiaomi 14.

We’ve tested our tempered glass protectors in Mumbai’s humid monsoons and Chennai’s crowded streets. They’re built for India’s 1.2 billion smartphone users (Economic Times, 2024). Curious about the types? Let’s break it down!
