Here's the deal with fancy brand screen protectors and we have the data to back it up. You can get done with throwing your money away much faster if you just stand over the toilet and flush, or throw the money in your camp fire.
We have 100+ Apples and Androids in the work place where no one's kind with them. They can all break. You can pay $10 - $30 each or you can buy 3 packs for $4.50 - $10. It's easy to know how to install them well. Lots of them come with a jig to help you mount them.
My boss paid $40 - $80 a device for Zagg brand. For iPhone 12 series a little more than $10 gets a Spigen case that's thin and protective while a little less gets a 3-pack of .25 glass protectors.
I respectfully disagree with this post. This has been a debate for years. Yes all glass can break, however the more expensive glass screen protectors takes a little or lot more to break/damage depending many different factors, where as the cheaper glass protectors break easier under the same conditions.
We have found the Zagg Olephobic coating along with more expensive brands actually do research and development to improve fingerprint resistance and is much better at resisting fingerprints than their cheaper counterparts.
Think of it like this, if glass wasn't that much of a difference, why would Apple, Corning Ware, Phillips and many other glass manufacturers spend so much R/D time and money making improvements year after year? Simple example, a regular glass dish vs a Pyrex dish, one can withstand extreme heat (Pyrex) and the other one can't.
For me, I would rather have a piece of mind on a daily basis while using a quality screen protector than not using one at all and that's just me.
A car is a car and is meant to be driven, however they are not the same.
You get what you pay for.
