#5 ESR Armorite
-Disappointed with iPhone 15 version; inferior to iPhone 14 variant.
-Poor oleophobic coating, subpar glass strength, not as large.
-Still ranks better than 39 others, competitively priced.
-Regular ESR glass nearly as good, puzzling given the premium version’s -downgrade.
#4 DBrand Tempered Glass
-Surprisingly strong against direct impacts but edges are weaker.
-Edge strength is #26 out of 44, which is unexpected for a skin manufacturer.
-Downfalls are average oleophobic coating and installation tools.
#3 Torras/Ultra Glass
-Torras is similar to generic brands, shares the product with Ultra Glass.
-Strong oleophobic coating, good coverage, and better install tools than DBrand/ESR.
-Direct impact strength and edge durability are above average but not top-tier.
#2 Benks Glass Warrior
-Benks returns with Glass Warrior, a product with impressive oleophobic coating.
-Claims of sapphire coating and upgraded hardness don’t improve scratch resistance.
-Good coverage but doesn't fit iPhone 15 curves well, has an unusual charge port bump.
-High price at $50, the third most expensive of 44 tested.
#1 FloLab NanoArmor 5 3D
-Anti-glare glass melds with the iPhone 15's design.
-Exceptional durability with nearly the strongest edge strength.
-Priced at $40, higher than average but offers top-tier performance.

Thank you so much for reviewing our GlassWarrior Screen Protector. It's our great honor to be ranked in TOP 2! We'll keep moving forward and bring more high quality products to the users.💪🥰
Well, you clearly need to start by revising your pricing, as that's the bit that undoes all the good stuff quite frankly.
I came around your channel lately and I am glad I did. The amount of work and testing you are doing is incredible. I ended up buying iphone case and wallet based on your recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. Unfortunately I couldn’t buy from your links. Thanks a lot Aaron ❤
Awesome video as always. I was wondering if you would include the full scoring/rankings spreadsheet. I believe you have in the past, and it was really neat to see and allowed viewers to judge which category matters most to them when buying a screen protector!
Appreciate you just giving us the top 5 and getting to the point. Subbed.
Thank you sir for your reviews!!! I'm so glad you've put in this effort. I'll support you in any way I can man.
Fantastic video. This is the first content i've seen of yours... and i have to say that it doesn't disappoint! Concise and quick with lots of data points. seriously, what else could one ask for in a product review. Do you think you'll be doing a side-by-side for Privacy Screen Protectors for iphone 15?
Thank goodness I already bought the #1 recommendation via your links. I will say that I had a hard time trying to figure out which version I should buy.
I just watched 1 min of the video and already seen a tons of effort you put into this review. And they sounds so credible. I'm sold. Sucribed. Thank you so much
Love your videos and keep up the amazing work but could you please maybe share the spreadsheet with every category of the screen protectors testing like for example” direct impact” and see which brand is best at the specific category
I remember finding this channel 4 years back when I got AirPods pro. I see you've reached over 400k subs. So happy to see you're still doing amazing work. Best phone/tech accessories channel. :)
Also, Monty still seems underpaid for his hard work. XD
Subbed bc theses are the only good videos on sp and cases, and you helped me pick the mouse case and screen protector for my s24+
I needed to buy a screen protector for my iPhone 15 Pro, and after watching this review of yours, I decided to go for the Flolab 3D Infinity Design, even though there are cheaper options out there. OMG it is worth the extra money. The install / alignment kit works perfectly. No dust, no bubbles, and the alignment is so perfect you can not even tell there is a screen protector there. The only thing I needed to do was go around with the included squeegee to press the edges down and DONE. Edge-to-edge perfection. The fit was so perfect, I was concerned my case might lift the screen protector off, but my Phone Rebel case snapped on with no issues. This is the third time I have purchased a product based on your reviews, and each time it has been a home run. Thank you so much for these honest, detailed, informative, and enjoyable reviews!! Please don't stop.
You’ll never regret it, after watching his screen protector review I got the flolab screen protector for my iphone 13 pro max. Ive cracked the screen protector twice and because i still own the phone, i went onto their website, filed a warranty claim and they sent me a new one each time for free i only paid $8 for shipping. Greatest choice ever!
@@kigen818bro these bots are out of control
The reviews on Amzn don’t look so hot compared to other protectors
@@BuckeyeCoryI honestly don’t trust Amazon reviews at all lol
I want to thank you for your wonderful videos. I used your link to buy several Flolab screens. We are very happy with them. Thank you for your great work.
Awesome video. I like the way you incorporate humour into your reviews. Excellent job.
Merry Christmas! excellent video I picked up the ZAGG screen protector...I'll upgrade to Flolab on the next iphone...thank you!
Great great work!! I really appreciate the thoroughness and the time you took to do this. I hope your channel really takes off.
i’ve been waiting for this thank you so much for making this video
Thanks for the Flolab recommendation. Great product… I’m very pleased. Greetings from UK 👊🏾
Looking sharp as always, Monty! ❤
AMAZING video, I love love love your style and this was so incredibly informative, thank you so much for doing what you do
You’re the best. Always get my flolab screen protectors through you. Getting one now! Thanks
Aaron, as always, Your videos are so informative!
Bro is a saint! Thank you for what you do! Been here for me every time I get a new phone or phone accessory ❤
Man I love your videos! Thanks a lot for all these amazing tests
This was the video I was waiting for: link duly used. Keep smashing it. 👌
I just ordered the #1 recommendation, the Flolab Pro thru your discount. Thank you so much for your unbiased reviews Aaron!
just ordered the Flolab 3D using your code👍 thanks for making this review video and spending money to help us
Thanks for this video, very informative. I went ahead purchased Flo lab case (I previously had nudient and the edge broke right away! And it wasn’t cheap either). I used your Flo lab code as well!
just ordered the flo labs protector using your discount code, thanks brother, love from UK!
Love these reviews! Most trustworthy tech reviewer on KZhead.
very in depth review yet concise as well, i think you killed it in this video. i did have a question about the Flolab screen protector though, were the MAX PRO and 3D similar in strength? also i know that the PRO has the anti blue light but the 3D does not, would you still say 3D is the best?
Got the Flo for my 15pro thanks to you 🤙🏽
Thx for your efforts! Just bought the Flolab with your code!
I just got my flolab today! and it is really amazing! it fits really well in my iPhone 15 pro max! all thanks to you!
Thanks for the help! Very much appreciated 😊
Great video editing bro
I thought I wanted to hear about some screen protectors, but that's in the past now. All I want to do is look at your dog! There are no words to express how adorable your dog is!🐶
I'm currently using the $20 Flolab case friendly version on my 15 Pro Max thanks to your last screen protector video. I also have the Anti-Blue Light Pro Screen Protector before they released the 3D version. I think they released the 3D version was due to a lot of complaint on the edges since I saw a lot of comment on a complaint post on Reddit about their screen protector and was telling people not to buy Flolab screen protectors.
He's back! Can't wait for the Phone Rebel Gen5 crystal review in the near future!
just bought a flo lab screen protector and used your code, thanks!!
Can you please list the other 39 protectors you tested? Would like to see where the one I already installed ranks, assuming you tested the Tech Armor HD Ballistic Glass model. Thanks!!
just found your channel and your content is awesome! Liked and subscribed!
Just found this Channel and its the best on youtube! I'm about to buy a new phone and your reviews are really helping with selecting accessories for it. I remember when i used to buy alot of trash items and learn from making mistakes. But now i don't have to make those expensive mistakes. Amazing!
What phone are you gettin?
Great review. Appreciate the info!
Hey Aaron. I just got the flolab through your recommendation. 1000000000% the best I’ve encountered. Easiest install, beautiful screen and the 3D design is actually amazing! Fits my Ryan London case perfectly. Thanks again!
Is the screen clarity still the same with the privacy screen protector
I am currently using the privacy screen protector from Flolab paired with a carbon fiber Mous case on my iPhone 13 Pro since it came out and it has not cracked to this day! The fit is perfect and there isn't a gap between the screen protector and the case which is my absolute favorite part. $40 is not expensive considering how much the phone is; I would not cheap out on a screen protector and go with Flolab. Once I upgrade to a newer iPhone, I will defintely be buying from them again. I try to convince people to buy it but they get so turned off on the price.. buy cheap, buy twice. Unfortunately I haven't ran into anyone that uses their products. Their loss. Glad to see they're still on top winning, great video as always!
Just bought the FloLab 3D at your suggestion for my 15PM I’m getting this weekend. Can’t wait!
This is the best review ever. I always check out this channel first when it comes to cases or film protectors. I appreciate your genuine and honest reviews, as well as your dedication to testing out all products thoroughly. It's very helpful since there are just too many products, and it's getting so confusing. 💯👍
Thanks for your detailed video! Just ordered Torras for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max! From now on I'm your subscriber
how is it so far? are the black edges annoying?
@@bisho9243 no it's fine
@@uktravellermurad thanks. just ordered it!
So the one paying you is the best? Crazy coincidence
Your new #1 fan here! Again, ordering your #1 choice (always using your link). FYI: they are having a sale right now and the cost was $27.95…..but wait….the discount code brought the total down to $25! Great deal! Thanks again Aaron….and Monty.
You definitely deserve my subscription. I'm looking for a screen protector for my iphone 15 pro max and it made it easier for me to decide. As for spigen screen protector, can you provide your feedback on that ? And what lens protector should i use ? Tia
Thnx for the review. Very curious about a review of screenprotectors with privacy glass.
They’re all itsh
Great reviews, thanks! Love the tie on the pooch :-)
Thanks to your video I bought a flolab for my iPhone, I'll tell you how it went with it Thanks for your video.
Thank you for your excellent reviews. Would you happen to know about the iFace Reflection case? It's actually quite good and has a nice price too. It's available in Japan
Thanks for great work! Where i can find full list, to know what to avoid.
I'm using the Flolab matte variant on my 15PM, and I'll never go back to a non-matte screen protector. It's truly outstanding! The only issue is that it doesn't work perfectly on non-15PM models, leading to air bubbles on the edges. For those with non-15PM models, the best choice would be the 3D variant, as reviewed by Aaron. It's a great screen protector, even though it's not matte.
Same. It took a while to get, but well worth it!
Why would it only work on the pro max?
@@CastroJordan they messed up the cut. 3d infinity versions are out already and even comes in the matte variant
Is the matte screen protector worth it? I get that its anti-reflective and anti-smudge but does it not make the screen darker?
@@DynestiGTI it is brilliant! I will never buy a non matte screen protector ever again
I'm glad I found this channel
Dumpster fire tornado!!!!!!😂 great video ..thank you !! Picked flolab for my screen protector.
Matte anti reflective is a must form me!
I’ve been using Spigen forever and love them . The oleophobic coating seems to last about a full year then I switch to a new one since two come in a box for $14 and install is always easy and bubble free
I use spigen to and the reason i came here to look that has he got any spigen ez fit.😂
Thanks Aaron (& Monty)!! For a NON tech-savvy granny, you answered EVERY question I had-& even a few I had no more idea than a goose to ask! You should 100% be getting paid to review this stuff!
Where do you find the spreadsheet that shows all the rankings, so your viewers can pick which attributes are most important to them? I couldn't find it on your website.
I had the Flolab NanoArmour AntiGlare on a Iphone 14 Pro Max. I loved it because it was resistant to finger prints versus smooth glass, but the picture quality was grainy. I really noticed this when I broke the screen protector and replaced it with a Spigen Glastr ez fit.
Which of the 2 do you like more, though?
@damagicfox well it sounds like the flo lab did its job and protect the screen so he didn't have to buy a new phone screen .
you the best screen protector man
Man i love your dog!
😊 he is very into the video filming very attentive
I ended up buying a FloLab screen protector shortly after finding your channel. Also Kristin (can’t remember the channel name) has many videos using flolab. This thing is beautiful, I have the 3D edge one for the 15 Pro. I can barely see it, goes right to the edge, hasn’t scratched yet, installation is fool proof. Best screen protector I’ve had to date, thanks!
Hi mate, compared to the original screen can you see the pixels on the screen now you have the flolab privacy screen?
@@mrdragonz2112 I don’t have the Privacy one. I have the one that comes with the blue install tray, it is amazing. I have placed an order for the privacy and an additional clear one. I’m pretty sure these will be the only screen protectors I will use going forward. I’ll try to come back here and give some feedback on the privacy
@@CastroJordan brilliant. Thanks mate
👌Thanks! great content
Would love to see some more privacy screen protector reviews as well!
yeah i bought my case and wallet for the 15pm thanks to this guy's reviews. was excited to see this video but no privacy protectors :(
Maybe next time you can check if the screen protectors with black bezels cover part of the screen? You can check this with the camera app where the white lines in the frame lines get covered, this is being called out in many forums.
Even the ones with clear borders cause a prism effect if they're not edge to edge. A lot of screen protectors for the iPhone 15 Pro don't cover the edges well at all.
@@adriftatlas I am very interested in this too. Do you have any links to places where they have run tests about this? I need a quality screen protector for the 15PM but would hate that part of the screen would be covered by its edges
@@Thorz74 I use the JETech ones for my iPhone 15 Pro and they're edge to edge. They're dirt cheap so not sure how durable they are but mine hasn't broke yet. I've also seen on Reddit that people like Torras in that regard but I've not tried them myself. I'm not sure I trust professional reviewers. Better to see what regular users on Reddit like. They also tend to be more OCD and notice stuff like this. :)
I've tried Torras and Flolab protectors on my 15 Pro and checked this with a picture that places a 1-pixel wide outline around the screen edges. Both of them covered up the rounded corners of the screen, but Flolab was just a bit better with the straight sides/top fully visible. The Torras was very close, but at least one edge would often be covered or "partially covered" (edge pixels only visible by tilting the phone away from it.)
There are images you can use to test that have a one or two pixel wide red border. But yeah, like ESR blocks a lot.
I was hoping you would include the Belkin UltraGlass 2 Screen Protector. It also has a curved edge, but it doesn't have the best coverage. I got mine professionally done at the Apple store for free and it comes with a lifetime warranty. It's a bit more expensive, but with the extras it really seems like the best bang for the buck other than the flolab.
I wish you mentioned where the mous hybrid falls on this especially since you mentioned that none of the others beat it in terms of impact protection.
Thank you for the unbiased but informed review.
I own the flolab screen protector with anti reflective coating. It's damn awesome. However it comes with a huge downside and that is scratch protection. It scratches really easily and gets noticeable went looked against light But other than that I love the flolab screen protectors. Application was absolute dumb proof and just perfect, you can't do anything wrong. And I also had one for my previous iPhone 12. Still rocking 3 years later
Same with me its easily got sratch😢
Then Flolab is useless. If I wanted scratches, I’d get a cheap tempered glass protector Not worth the trade off
@@Johnnygga that's just for the anti reflective coating in particular. The screen protector itself is probably really sturdy
Finally I have found the one that has the same feeling. YEH I got it scratched today bro !!! and I reckon I have not dropped it hard anywhere. Still have no idea where the scratch come from T T
Do you think Sapphire is a better option?
I’m actually surprised you haven’t hit a million yet. You will get there
Just ordered a flolab! Thanks
Nice review
Cool, extreme but very important tests. Any recommendation for the iPhone 6S Plus (coz' it has the amazing more superior 3D Touch :-) ). God bless you.
I might come back just to see your adorable dog! I mean really!!! so cute!
Anti-reflection is useful! Please continue to test it. For instance, Spigen's screen protectors are easy to install and affordable, but the product has poor anti-reflection.
I really like your video on 15 us screen protector. Thank you for the information. I think I will go flolab I want adorable on that won't scratch. Oh how do I use you to get credit if I order. And for 15 plus which is best of flolab picks? Thanks again appreciate your work. Deb
Hi Aaron, Have you ever tested screen protectors in combination with phone cases? I am using a top pick Mous case (love it) with a top pick screen protector and when the case is on the screen protector pulls away from the bottom corners - quite a bit. If I remove the case the protector settles right back down. This impacts the touch sensitivity of the bottom corners. I wonder if some screen protectors integrate with cases better than others. Monte
Which screen protector brand are u using? Just curious. I think I wanna get the Mous case. The price is def up there but, so isn’t the phone itself. I want to get something that is going to protect my iPhone 15 pro max with durability. His recommendation seems to be the mous & flo lab screen protectors. Anyways, after reading ur comment I’m curious which protector u chose ?
Thank you for the reviews. Would you know if its an invisishield as well?
Can you review Magic John screen protector? Thank you for all your valuable insight.
Fantastic vid.
Couldn't take my eyes off your incredibly mature dog hahahaha thanks for the review, using your link to pick up a flolab. SUBSCRIBED!
Very atmospheric :)
What do you think about matte screen protectors and will you do a video on them
Any recommendations for privacy screen protector? Got Flolab but having issues with Face ID
I need your review on best screen protectors for the steam deck, if there’s any decent matte one and the best glossy one
Links to buy? You make a great video, happy to support
How did the Spigen protector do? I've got it on my iPhone 14 and loving it
does the flow lab anti reflective screen protector effect the clarity of the display? Matte screen protectors often make the display look worse.
Great video, Have you ever tested Bodygurdz screen protector?
Does the flolab anti reflect thing reduce clarity and resolution?
Can you do a comparison of the current flolab cases that have the 3D infinity edge. The website shows a number of options with a descriptor in the product name but seeing their attributes demonstrated would be very helpful. I havent found another video out doing this. Thank you
Can you do a video on the whitestone dome glass screen protector?
Excuse me Eh, what phone case is that please? I've been following you for years, huge fan. Thanks!
I wish you had a companion website with a list of the 44 protectors that were tested to reach these five with the results listed. I've been using the AmFilm screen protectors for the last 2-3 phone cycles because they're always dirt cheap on Amazon (two protectors for $5-10) and the installation is dead easy (full size dust sticker and nearly foolproof installation frame). I'm really curious where these would fall in your testing. I can imagine that they aren't the most durable (I usually do end up cracking at least one during the lifetime of the phone), or have the best coverage/coating, but for $5 they've always sacrificed themselves before anything happened to my phone screen which is really what I'm looking for from a screen protector. It's hard to justify paying $40 for a screen protector.
Ignorance is bliss, I guess. I used to be like you, trying to be frugal despite having an expensive af phone. But once you try out a premium screen protector, especially Flolab, there's no going back. You'll regret wasting your time penny pinching on something you interact with hundreds of times a day.
@@eurekaflows that’s why I’d love to see the full list of what was tested. If the AmFilm protectors are like 43/44 on the list I’d know that I’m really missing out. If it were in the top 20 in terms of coverage or coating (again durability doesn’t really matter for $5) then I’d keep doing what I’ve been doing.
I used AmFilm on my previous iPhones (6S, XS) so I initially got their protector for my 15 Pro. Unfortunately I can't quite recommend it for one reason: it's not edge to edge, and it covers just the screen itself with absolutely no bezel coverage. This caused an irritating rainbow fringing effect at the edges at almost all viewing angles, left the bezels unprotected, and (worst) would cause a ton of dust/lint to get trapped in the gap and stuck to the protector every time I put the phone in my pocket. The protector itself seemed decent, can't speak to its strength. But afterwards I tried both Torras and Flolab protectors, and there was a noticeable increase in quality for both coverage and the feel of the screen.
