Screen Protectors
When it comes to protecting your phone, tablet or smart watch, a screen protector is an essential for modern day tech gear. Whether you own the latest iPhone, Samsung, or any other major smartphone brand, protecting your screen from scratches, cracks, and everyday wear is crucial. But with so many options available, how do you know which screen protector is right for you? At Fone King, our screen protector collection offers a wide range of tempered glass screen protectors and privacy screen protectors and more, so you can use your devices worry free.
What Devices Need A Screen Protector?
While some people will swear by having a screen protector on every tech device they own, it's a personal choice that is largely driven by the way we use our devices. For example, someone who works from home and doesn't use public transport, isn't likely to need a privacy screen protector compared to a tradie who's out and about on worksites who will almost always want the toughest screen protector on the market.
Phone Screen Protectors
Whether you're obsessed with the latest Google phone, or an avid iPhone devotee, if you're out and about with your phone in hand, then accidents can easily happen. While there are affordable phone repair services available, the newer the phone model, the more costly it can be to put a new screen on a phone, so adding an extra level of protection is always a great choice.
Tablet Screen Protectors
While tablets don't generally get thrown around quite as much as phones, their screens, like phones, can be expensive to repair. One of the advantages to using a screen protector on tablets is that you don't have to use them quite as carefully or be quite as concerned about causing damage if you're using them while travelling or on the go.
Smart Watch Protection
Nothing in tech takes quite the same beating as a well-loved smart watch. These digital companions help us to push to new levels of efficiency, health, organisation, connection and more. Regardless of which smart phone brand you own, there's smart phone screen protectors to suit.
Do You Need To Use A Screen Protector?
While the strength, durability and quality of smart device screens seems to improve with every new model released, it only takes one drop or bump to shatter your device screen, leaving you up for a phone repair bill or trying to get by without your smart device.
A screen protector is more than just a way to protect your device screen from breaking – it’s an investment in the longevity of your phone, tablet or smart watch. A quality screen protector can prevent costly screen replacements, maintain the resale value of your device, and ensure that your device stays looking as good as new.
Screen Protection Against Scratches
Our phones have to endure a lot. Everyday use exposes your phone to potential scratches from keys, coins, or even the surface of your bag. Scratch-resistant phone screen protectors act as the first line of defence.
Shattered Screen Prevention
Many tempered glass screen protectors are labelled as shatterproof. They are designed to absorb shock, minimising the risk of cracks when you accidentally drop your phone. Look for those with high-impact resistance ratings, such as 9H hardness.
Phone Camera Lens Protectors
With so much of our lives captured on our smart phone cameras, protecting the lenses makes perfect sense. There are a growing range of camera lens protectors for phones, and if you love taking photos and videos on your phone, we always recommend adding an extra layer of protection.
Types of Screen Protectors Available at Fone King
Not all screen protectors are the same. Here at Fone King we believe in protecting your mobile phone, apple watch, android phones, or any device in style. Whether you're looking for screen protectors for tablets and iPads, or the latest screen protectors for iPhone 16 we've got you covered. Of course, there's also a huge range of screen protector products for each device type, and if it's all too confusing, our team is always on hand to help. Here's a breakdown of the main types you’ll find in our screen protection range:
Tempered Glass Screen Protectors
Tempered glass protectors are among the most popular because they offer the highest level of protection. These are made from shatterproof glass that can withstand significant drops. They are rated by their hardness (such as 9H), which ensures scratch resistance from even the hardest of everyday items.
Plastic Film Screen Protectors
Plastic protectors are thinner than glass and often more affordable. While they may not offer the same level of impact protection as tempered glass, they do provide excellent resistance to scratches and minor scuffs. These protectors are ideal for users who need a lightweight, budget-friendly solution.
Privacy Screen Protectors
Modern screen protectors come with a range of features, including privacy screen features that allow you to use your phone, tablet or watch when out and about while limiting the ability for other people to read your screen. Never worry about someone beside you accidentally reading a message or document again.
- High Durability: Designed to absorb impact and prevent cracks.
- Smooth, Glass-like Feel: Mimics the natural feel of your phone’s display.
- Oleophobic Coating: Resists fingerprints and smudges, keeping your screen clear.
- Edge-to-Edge Protection: Some models, like those for the latest iPhones and Samsungs, provide full coverage, ensuring no edge or part of your screen is left unprotected.
- Affordability: Typically lower cost than tempered glass.
- Flexible & Lightweight: Easy to apply and doesn’t add bulk to your phone.
- Custom Fit: Many can be cut to fit specific device models, making them a good option for less common devices.
Privacy screen protectors work by limiting the viewing angle of the device's screen, preventing others from seeing the display unless they are looking directly at it. These premium screen protectors use a special filter, often called a microlouver technology, which functions similarly to window blinds. This filter narrows the field of vision, so when viewed from an angle, the screen appears dark or blacked out, while it remains clear when viewed straight on. Here at Fone King we sell a range of privacy screen protectors to keep your information safer when you're out and about.
Modern screen protectors are designed to be ultra thin and highly responsive, meaning they won’t interfere with your touch screen’s sensitivity. Whether you’re using a plastic film or tempered glass, you can still swipe, type, and tap as smoothly as ever.
Yes! In fact, it’s recommended to use both a screen protector and a case for maximum protection. Whether you're an Apple iPhone user or own a Samsung Galaxy model, we stock a range of screen protectors that are case-compatible, so they won’t lift or peel when combined with your phone case.
All of our screen protectors come with detailed application instructions. For the best results, clean your screen thoroughly before applying and use the provided alignment tools to ensure a bubble-free application. For mobile phone screen protectors, we recommend buying a new screen protector in store when you buy your phone, that way, as soon as you walk out of the shop, before you even use your phone it can be protected and kept looking like new for longer.
The price of screen protectors varies in Australia depending on the accessory the screen protection is for, and also the type of protector you choose. Plastic coating style screen protectors are cheaper, moving up to premium tempered glass screen protectors which are more expensive, but also the most protective option for reducing the risk of a smashed screen. Often you can buy a multi pack of protectors so you have another on hand as a replacement, and this tends to be cheaper than buying them individually.
