Now you may have heard that the iPhone 12 series of handsets including the iPhone 12 mini feature Apple’s new Ceramic Shield technology, which Apple say is tougher than any other smartphone glass out there. This may well be true, however the downside of this is that the iPhone 12 mini’s display is much easier to scratch then ever before.

By far the most popular type of screen protector on the market is tempered glass, thanks to the superior protection they provide to smartphones.

4. Whitestone iPhone 12 mini Dome Tempered Glass Screen Protector
