Do you ever swap your tempered glass for a new one?

As the title reads, do you ever swap your tempered glass for a fresh new one? My tempered glass is almost 4 month old and shows signs of wear where I swipe a lot. Doesn't matter the brand. This always happens. Also, it appears most times they lose the oleophobic coating.

I tend to put a new one on every 4 months or so. How about you?

I swapped mine for a privacy screen protector a month ago. I don't mind switching mine out. I would if I felt the need to. My 6s plus looked as good as new when I upgraded to the 7 plus so I never swapped that one

I change when I need to if there are scratches or any other issue that annoys me. I have noticed that I would change the cheaper ones more often (every few weeks or so) compared to the one that I've been using now for a few months.

I only swapped because I got a crappy one from T-Mobile. I now have the Zag Invisible Shield. Will probably get a privacy one in a few months

I did that with the very first tempered glass screen protector I had on my iPhone 6s, but that was because I was extremely OCD about it. It was my first time applying one, and I managed to have a couple of specks of lint or dust under it. I pulled it off in only a few minutes after applying it (what a waste!) and put another one on. The second one looked pretty good, but then I lost that one when I got the battery replaced in my iPhone a few short weeks later. I'm up to my third right now, but that's been on for two months now. All is good with this one! :yes:

I have only swapped once, from a regular Spigen to a Zagg Privacy Glass and I don't think I'll switch again... absolutely love the zagg privacy

I've never tried that brand. I usually use zagg or bodyguardz

It's basically the same thing as a standard Zagg glass clear. Same quality. Just 1/10 of the cost. Here is mine on.
