why steer clear of glass screen protectors?

HI ALL 🙂

Yesterday I put a question about screen protectors for my apple watch series 2 ,I bought on Wednesday thanks everyone 🙂

one thing though ,most were in the U.S.

and unobtainable in this country (u.k)

someone advised keeping clear of glass ?

what's wrong with glass ?

the ones I did see on various other internet sites were in the main,

of the film type construction,

and in my experience of this type on other pieces of equipment ,

all seem to suffer from " bubble syndrome"

very annoying !!

I appreciate peoples help ,

how can you alleviate bubbles?

Hi

Film-type screen protectors are typically able to cover a larger area of the screen, including curved edges.

Bubbles can be minimised through careful application, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's application instructions, which typically include gently pushing any bubbles away from the centre and towards the edges.

Skinomi, for example, advises that any remaining micro-bubbles should then disappear within 1-3 days.

Hi there thanks for that suggestion, I just watched a video on how to install them, they actually do what they say, which today is a novaty in its self lol,

do you advocate an outer shell as well or is tht just overkill?

Hi Peter

That is also a matter of personal preference.

Potential problems with outer shell, snap-on and/or bumper type cases include that they may, for example, trap moisture, trap small items of debris (which may scratch the watch) or make it less convenient to keep your watch clean and dry.
