No matter what type of cell phone user you are, your phone probably has a case and some sort of screen protector. Protective gear, specifically screen protectors, can save your screen and protect your wallet from costly repairs.

Usually, I would opt for the $9.99 plastic cover that comes free with a phone case purchase. However, I was feeling fancy when I bought my iPhone 7 Plus. So I decided to try something more substantial. Instead, I invested in the Belkin InvisiGlass Ultra Screen Protection for iPhone 7 Plus. At $39.95 I was convinced that this had to be the most expensive screen protector ever. What I really wanted to know was what was the difference and is it worth the extra coins?

The difference is immediately noticeable. The glass is so clear and transparent that after a few hours, it will feel like you’re using your actually phone screen. The sensitivity of the screen is not compromised and my screen is still extremely sensitive to touch. This glass screen protector is easy to clean and your fingers will effortlessly glide along the screen. The process to apply the protector is very complicated and the associate at the Apple Store uses a special machine to put it on perfectly.

One of the main reason I wanted a larger phone was to have a better screen for looking at photos and watching videos. Hazy plastic screen protectors take away from that experience.

As glorious as this screen protector is, it still has some drawbacks. The first negative effect I experienced recently. While on vacation my first Belkin InvisiGlass Ultra Screen Protection cracked. After shoving my phone in to a very packed pocketbook, the glass cracked in a perfect spider web formation. I instantly became nervous that my actually screen broke also. However, when I had it removed at the Apple Store my screen looked brand new.

Belkin’s InvisiGlass Ultra Screen Protection for iPhone 7 Plus is more expensive and more temperamental than a traditional screen protector. It is worth it to get one because you’ll be able to view your phone screen at it’s full potential and without it being distorted or having a glare.
