When HTC announced the One M9, they stated the screen was protected by the very best material, Gorilla Glass 4. Now, it’s emerged that some One M9 models are actually being made with Gorilla Glass 3 instead, meaning that they are more vulnerable to scratching and suffering damage if dropped.
Americans with HTC One M9 models can rely on the “Uh oh” protection plan, which offers one free screen replacement for any damage in the first year. For those elsewhere in the world, including the UK, it might be prudent to invest in additional screen protection.
We have a range of 10 HTC One M9 screen protectors, including both official HTC and third-party options, plus a choice of plastic or tempered glass. Here are our top three picks:
Olixar Screen Protector 2-in-1 Pack – £6
Our cheapest screen protector is actually a pack of two, giving you the ability to swap a scratched or busted screen protector for a fresh one. The screen protector is made from thin plastic, and comes with a microfibre cloth and application card for easy installation.
Official HTC Screen Protector – £10
HTC’s official option provides only one screen protector in the pack, but you can rest assured it is produced to a high quality standard and fits perfectly. The screen protector is easy to apply, and leaves no sticky residue when removed. Perfect.
Olixar Tempered Glass Screen Protector – £13
Our final recommendation is for the Olixar Tempered Glass screen protector, which provides more comprehensive protection than a plastic screen protector is capable of. The 0.26mm glass used has a hardness rating of 9H, resisting all common hazards without scratching, yet still has a 95% light penetration value for an ultra-clear look. With an easy installation procedure that’s bubble-free, there’s little to say against the Olixar Tempered Glass Screen Protector.
