What is the best tempered glass/screen protector cover for iPhone 8 plus?

I am about to upgrade from my 6s to an 8 plus due to the slowness and bad condition my phone has become. I am tired of my phone randomly dying at percentages at least higher than fifty or even so, my phone not being able to last half a day going off of 100% and little activity and my bluetooth/wifi intenna being incapable of working properly and having taken it to Apple’s genius bar numerous times only to have been told that there was nothing they could do since it was a hardware issue. I have come to see that fixing it as some shady phone place would probably be not as smart and way more expensive than just buying a new phone being worried more things will break in the process. So yes, after two years of having my 6s, I think it is time for an upgrade. After digging around, I have chosen to go with the new life proof ”slam” case and I feel confident that it will serve plenty protection to the phone itself but I was skeptical on how it would do in protecting my screen so I began looking around for the what other iPhone users have thought to be the best screen protector(s) for the iPhone 8 plus or just any iPhone in general. I‘ve never had any screen protector on my 6s (despite of how clumsy I can be with my phone sometimes) I only have two cracks that might even just be large scratches but they are hardly noticeable, regardless, I do have plenty of scratches and even some dents on the outer edges of my phone. I want to know, from apple‘s perspective, what the best choice of screen protection would suite my soon-to-be new phone. Price isn’t a problem but I truly want to know what is recommened. Anything is much appreciated since I have been stressing aboug it for some time... but I hope you can help. Thanks!

I have used the Belkin SC+ Invisiglass Ultimate on the last 3 phones, and have been quite impressed. It seems scratch resistant as well. It has taken a couple of hits that would have damaged the iPhone screen, but just resulted in a chip to one. I finally replaced that one just before getting rid of the phone. My wife has one on her iPhone 7, and believe me, she is rough on phones, and it has held up beautifully.


However, I agree with deggie, "Best" is subjective. Good luck in your research.

Apple isn't here, this is a user-to-user technical support site. "Best" is a matter of taste and opinion and you may get some responses saying it isn't necessary. I've used the Zagg glass cover on my past 4 iPhones, 3 of which were handed down to a woman with 4 boys. I've had to use the warranty a few times but the screen never broke.


A friend uses the Belkin that he got from Apple. He has been happy with them.

My bad, I guess I wasn’t thinking but thank you so much! I guess I’ll just have to ask around some more but I have heard wonderful things about the Zagg protector, not so much about the Belkin but I would really be open to either-or. Plus, I know apple claims that the 8 and 8 plus has a very durable front and back but we all know better than that lol. I just want to make sure that my phone would be well protected from your drops and falls that could happen anytime and anywhere. But yes, thank you so much:)
