Remember back in the day when screen protectors were a dirt cheap plastic film and you could buy big sheets of it and custom cut it with scissors for your phone? Cost like 10 cents for a screen protector? Then came the bullet proof, space shuttle glass screen protectors for like $12 a pop? Turns out the expensive space age glass stuff breaks super easy. I want off this crazy ride. Anyone know where to get the old school JNCO wearin, NIN listenin screen protector material?

    If you hate glass protectors you can always use hydrogel ones. That’s what I use on my phones and never had problems with them. The glass ones always breaks on me like a day or 2 after I install them and I don’t even drop my phones that often, they just break from the lightest drops. So I swiched do hydrogel ones and I have the same protector since January and its still fine.

      Same problem. I dont beat up my phone, they just break super easy. I dont know what hydrogel is. Are there specific screen savers made of hydrogel or is it a material you repurpose for phones?

        Specific screen protectors made from hydrogel so you should look for one for your phone. I like them because even if you got some light scratches they will heal themselves.
