A privacy screen protector has a layer of microscopic louvers built right into the glass. They're angled so the light from your display travels straight out to you, and very little of it travels sideways. Sit in front of your phone and everything looks normal. Glance at it from the seat next to you and the screen goes dark.

Ours uses 2-way privacy, which shields the left and right viewing angles. Those are the ones that come up in real life, on a plane, on the train, in a waiting room, or in a meeting where your inbox is open. Side visibility falls away past about 30 degrees.

We like what that does to your day. You stop angling your phone away from people. You stop closing an app because someone walked by. Your screen is just yours again.

We've been making screen protection for 24 years and we've protected more than 45 million devices, so we've had a long time to think about what a screen protector should be. Our answer is that privacy shouldn't be the only thing it's good at.

Our Privacy Glass Screen Protector is built on ultra-strong tempered glass that's 15X stronger than standard glass protectors, so it holds up to real days. The surface is made with cleaner materials, without forever chemicals (PFAS), because you touch your phone constantly. It's also treated to resist microbial growth. And the Express Align® tray makes installation something you do once and don't think about again.

That's four things we cared about instead of one. We think you'll notice all of them.

A little, and we'd rather tell you that up front than have you discover it. Directing light toward you and away from everyone else is the whole mechanism, so some brightness goes with it. Looking straight on, the difference is subtle, and nudging your display brightness up a step evens it out.

Everything else stays the way you expect. Colors stay accurate, scrolling and typing feel immediate, and Face ID reads on the first try. You won't see haze, a rainbow shimmer, or a fogged ring around the camera cutout.

Your screen protector is one of the surfaces you touch most, so we think you should know what it's made of. We had ours independently tested by TÜV Rheinland and made a PFAS-free solution a requirement, not an afterthought. It still beads water, sheds oil, and feels smooth under your thumb. We think that should be the standard.

Yes. Our Privacy Glass Screen Protector is made with ultra-strong tempered glass, 15X stronger than standard glass protectors. It's built to take the drops and bumps, and to shrug off the scratches and pocket-key encounters that come with actually using your phone instead of babying it.

Choosing privacy doesn't mean giving up protection. The privacy filter sits on top of our strongest tempered glass, not in place of it. And if it does its job and cracks so your screen doesn't, our low-cost replacement program is there to get you a new one.

Yes. The glass is treated to resist microbial growth on the screen protector surface. Your phone gets touched hundreds of times a day, so this treatment helps the screen stay feeling cleaner between wipes.

Paired with smudge resistance, it means the surface you use most keeps feeling smooth and clear through every tap, swipe, and scroll.

Almost every bubble comes from a speck of trapped dust rather than anything you did wrong, so we designed the Express Align® kit around the dust and the alignment both.

Every protector ships with an alignment tray, which settles placement before the adhesive ever touches your screen. Wipe the screen down, lift the last of the dust, set the tray over your phone, and press once in the center. The adhesive pulls itself outward into a smooth, edge-to-edge fit. Any small bubbles usually clear on their own within 24 hours.

Alignment matters even more on a privacy protector, since the filter needs to sit square to your display to do its job. The tray handles that for you, so you get it right the first time.
