The Basics

Screen protectors have come along way since they first came out. Fighting with the plastic covers has always been a losing battle. Those horrible air bubbles, not putting it on straight, or a few days later, it starts to peel off – pure frustration. There are tons of really big claims out there, but do screen protectors actually protect your phone?

Otterbox is known for it’s tough and rugged cases that can pretty much outlast anything you put it through. They are extremely popular as they offer a lifetime guarantee. Though their cases are a well known product, what about their screen protection?

The Alpha Glass is a thin piece of tempered glass that claims to be anti-shattering, easily reactive to the touch, super clear, and easy to apply. Let’s see if it withstands our test!

Meet Our Tester

GBS’s Director of Retail, Tanya McLean is giving us her two sense on what almost turned out to be a horror story..

tanyaWhile enjoying a great time with her kids at local amusement park, she, as every mother does, took her phone out to snap a picture. Trying to capture the moment, her brand new iPhone 6 slips right out of her hand smashing to the ground.

When she went to pick it up, she expected the worst and was in tears. Her phone was smashed and the screen was so cracked that looked useless. She then realized something great… her phone had the Otterbox Alpha Glass Screen Protector on it!

“I actually forgot that my screen protector was even on my phone. When I clued in, I removed the screen protector, and there was not even a single scratch on my phone!”

After removing the busted screen protector, her phone was in perfect condition!

The Verdict

This was a real life incident that happens to people every day. By putting this screen protector through a hard drop, it has proven to withstand pretty much anything. The fact that Tanya forgot that she even had it on her phone says a lot.

This product has a big statement that it is “anti-shattering”, we feel they have backed their claim up.

We give this product a BIG stamp of approval!
