The best Apple iPhone 14 screen protectors for 2022 | Digital Trends (2024)

The iPhone 14 is here, with its stunning 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display reinforced with Ceramic Shield glass. Despite its tough protection against drops and impact, you'll still want to invest in a screen protector to protect your phone screen from scratches, scuffs, and drops.

We've put together a list of the best iPhone 14 screen protectors currently available, including everything from ultra-protective tempered glass options to budget-friendly film protectors.

InvisibleShield Glass+ Screen Protector

Give your iPhone 14 some serious drop protection with this screen protector. Made from tough tempered glass, it boasts three times more shatter protection than an unprotected screen, thanks to its Ion Matrix Technology shielding against scratches, scuffs, and drops. Reinforced edges prevent cracks and chips from starting and spreading, while the precision surface finishing process provides the ultimate scratch resistance. An oil-resistant surface repels fingerprint smudges, and you get an EZ Apply installation tray and tabs included for quick, bubble-free installation — though some reviews mention installation isn't all that simple.

Torras Glass Screen Protector

This next screen protector comes in a handy two-pack and exceeds military-grade protection, keeping your iPhone 14 safe from whatever life throws at you. Made from 9H hardness tempered glass, it's been drop tested extensively from over 6 feet, with reinforced edges and an oleophobic nano-coating to reduce fingerprints and smudges. All this, yet it feels like your original iPhone screen, so you'll hardly know it's there. Included in the box are cleaning wipes, microfiber clothes, dust removal stickers, a squeegee, and an install frame.

Ailun Privacy Screen Protector

If you frequently use your phone on the bus, train, or in other public settings, this privacy screen protector could help keep your personal information safe from prying eyes. Designed to darken your phone's screen, this high-privacy protector means your display is only visible to those directly in front of it. Unfortunately, this does mean you'll need to bump your device's display brightness up, which could impact battery life. This screen protector comes in a handy two-pack and doesn't cover right to the edges of your phone screen, ensuring it's compatible with most iPhone 14 cases. Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repel sweat and fingerprints, and installation is easy thanks to the included online video instructions.

Speck ShieldView Glass Screen Protector

If you're new to installing screen protectors, Speck's ShieldView Glass Screen Protector is just the ticket. This protector comes with a patented Goof Proof installation kit which includes a special glass adhesive and instructions to make installation a breeze. It's super-thin at just 0.33mm thick, made from tempered glass, and has a 9H scratch-resistance coating that also repels fingerprints and dust, leaving your screen looking crystal clear. There's built-in Microban antimicrobial protection too, reducing stain and odor-causing bacteria on your phone screen by up to 99%. The downside? There's only one screen protector in the box for the price, but it's still an excellent choice.

Whitestone Dome Glass EZ Glass Screen Protector

What's under $15, easy to install, and offers superb protection for your iPhone 14 screen? The Whitestone Dome EZ Glass Screen Protector. Made from 9H hardness tempered glass, it keeps scratches and scuffs at bay, while an oleophobic coating repels dust and fingerprints so your screen stays clear. This screen protector is also shatter resistant and boasts high touch sensitivity, so you'll hardly even know it's there. You get three protectors in the box, so you can keep a couple as spares or share them with friends or family members.

Spigen EZ Fit Glas.tr Screen Protector

Spigen is a trusted name for phone protection, and that level of protection doesn't stop at phone cases. The EZ Fit Glas.tr Screen Protector is made from 9H hardness tempered glass, so it will protect your phone screen from scuffs, bumps, and drops. The oleophobic coating repels fingerprints, ensuring your screen stays crystal clear, and you get two protectors in the box, so you can share one with a friend or keep it as a spare, should you need it in the future. Spigen has included an EZ Fit installation tray that makes installation simple, plus cleaning wipes to prepare your screen for application.

Totallee Screen Protector

This tempered glass screen protector from Totallee is the perfect choice if you want edge-to-edge protection for your iPhone 14's screen. It feels just like your original phone screen, so you won't even know it's there, it's case-friendly with Totallee cases, and it comes with everything needed for an easy, bubble-free application, including a microfiber cloth, alcohol wipe, and full instructions. It may not be compatible with other case brands, though.

amFilm Privacy Tempered Glass Screen Protector

If you do business on your phone, make payments, or do anything else that means you want to keep your screen safe from prying eyes — and yes, keeping your winning Wordle tactics secret counts — then this privacy screen protector is a perfect choice. Once applied, you can only see your screen if you're viewing it head-on. From any other angle, it will appear blurry or blacked out.

This screen protector is made from 9H hardness tempered glass for drop and scratch protection, with an oleophobic coating to repel fingerprints. In the box, you not only get two protectors but also everything needed for the perfect, hassle-free installation. That includes two auto-alignment trays and two installation accessory kits containing dust removal stickers and covers, wet wipes, and microfiber cloths. There's also a handy installation video to guide you through the application process. On the downside, the dark tint of this protector may mean you need to turn the brightness up on your phone, which isn't great news for battery life.

Olixar Film Screen Protector

This is one of the more affordable screen protectors on our list, and it's also a great choice if you prefer a film protector to tempered glass. Olixar's film screen protector is made from scratch-resistant film that offers crystal clarity and won't affect touchscreen sensitivity. It's easy to apply thanks to the included screen cleaning cloth and application card, and you get two screen protectors in the pack, so you may never need to buy another one again. It is a film protector though, which means it won't offer as much drop protection as tempered glass options.

Supershieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Our pick for those on a budget is this two-pack of screen protectors from Supershieldz. Yours for under $10, these tempered glass protectors are 9H hardness rated, with 99.99% HD clarity and 2.5D rounded edges for comfort. Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings keep fingerprints and sweat at bay, so you can take your phone to the gym or on your run worry-free, and these screen protectors won't leave behind any residue once removed, either. For under $10, you'd be pushed to find a better option, though the low price does leave us wondering just how much drop protection these protectors really provide.

ESR Tempered Glass Screen Protector

The final protector on our list is this glass protector from ESR. Made from 9H hardness tempered glass, it offers military-grade protection, with an oleophobic coating to keep smudges and fingerprints to a minimum.
