The new iPhone 12 models have some new features which can make them more resistant to scratches and damage, but they’re not impervious, so you still want to be protected against potentially expensive accidents. There are two layers of protection available, one that’s invisible and one that’s right in front of your eyes. It’s up to you whether you want to take advantage of both or just stick with the layer that you don’t have to see every time you use your iPhone.So it is a good question that whether we need a screen protector.
What’s so different about the new iPhone 12 models
There’s a lot that sets the iPhone 12 models apart from their predecessors. The main upgrades are wireless charging, a new design and Apple’s new Face ID. The most notable difference is the OLED screen—while previous iPhones had LCD screens, the iPhone 12 has an OLED screen. If you’re wondering if your screen protector will still fit or be of use on your new iPhone, it may be time to invest in a new one!
Why should I use a screen protector anyway?
Screen protectors offer a surprising amount of protection. In addition to keeping your screen free from scratches, a good protector should cover your phone’s sensors and cutouts. The coating on many glass protectors will also help protect against cracks, which are particularly troublesome if they form around any openings in your screen protector (like in a camera cutout). Screen-cracking aside, you don’t want to have to replace an expensive or hard-to-find component (like your fingerprint reader or home button) just because it’s exposed and susceptible to damage. Plus, keeping your phone in mint condition can make selling it easier—and some people even prefer phones that aren’t scuffed up!
Can I use an old case with my iPhone 12?
Yes, iPhones aren’t quite as modular as an iPhone 5 case might have been. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use old cases with your iPhone 12—they just might not fit quite like they used to. A few things to keep in mind if trying to fit your old case on an iPhone 12: Cases come in different sizes and thicknesses. For example, some cases are smaller than others. If your iPhone 12 is thicker or thinner than your old case, it won’t fit into it like it did before.
Does having a glass back mean that I don’t need to worry about scratching it up
Is there a glass back on your phone? It may not mean that much to have an aesthetically pleasing surface if you’re worried about scratches. Though glass is durable and its appearance looks great, it’s not resistant to cracking or scratching. Although having a tempered glass back helps to protect your device, it will only provide so much protection. What happens if you drop your phone while sitting in your pocket or purse? It’s likely that it will land on one of its corners and could chip or crack at that spot. One way to prevent damage from happening is to invest in high-quality screen protectors like those found on eBay.
Can a phone case and tempered glass protect my entire phone from damage
Sure, a case and tempered glass are helpful in protecting your phone from damage, but they won’t protect it 100 percent of the time. That’s because a case might not be able to protect certain parts of your phone—like its corners and back. And, tempered glass might only cover half or a third of your phone’s front face—meaning those parts will be exposed to damage. If you plan on dropping your phone frequently or if it would be completely devastating if something happened to it, then yes—getting a case and tempered glass is worth it. But overall, keep in mind that they are not foolproof ways to prevent damage entirely.
