The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro launch on Friday, October 23, and you may want or need a screen protector to help keep your new phone safe.
So we’ve put together a quick list of some of the best screen protectors you can pick up right now for both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Of course, with both phones featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display, a screen protector for one model will fit the other.
So let’s dig right in.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro screen protectors
ESR
ESR’s screen protector for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro is designed to be easily installed, and it is case friendly as well. It’s compatible with the two 6.1-inch devices, so don’t try to attach it to an iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12 Pro Max (when they launch next month).
The ESR screen protector comes in a three pack, so you’ll have some extras just in case. It also comes with a cleaning kit and an installation frame to make installing the protective accessory even easier.
According to ESR, the screen protector can withstand up to 5kg of pressure, so it should offer plenty of protection for daily usage. Keep in mind that this screen protector covers the notch at the top of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, but it’s still Face ID compliant. You won’t lose access to the biometric security measure, even if the notch is covered.
ESR’s screen protector is available now from Amazon.

ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass Elite Plus
ZAGG says the Glass Elite+ screen protector is the company’s strongest glass screen protection ever. This should keep the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro’s display from shattering if it is dropped. And the ion exchange technology within the screen protector increases surface compression, which means it’s incredibly scratch-resistant as well.
What’s more, ZAGG’s offering features anti-bacterial technology, which is infused in the glass. This means it kills 99.99% of the world’s most common surface bacteria.
ZAGG’s screen protector doesn’t cover the notch, and you’ll get full access to Face ID, of course. It also features ClearPrint technology, which is designed to disperse built-up oil. This means the screen protector will reduce the number of fingerprints you see on the screen, too.

Spigen Tempered Glass
Spigen’s screen protector is rated at 9H hardness. It features an auto-alignment kit to help you install the accessory as well, with precise cutouts so it won’t cover the notch. Spigen’s approach here is longevity, saying that this screen protector is designed for the “daily grind” of daily usage. And it should retain its touch responsiveness through all of it.
The Spigen glass protector is a two-pack as well, so you’ll get one extra right out of the box. And the company says the screen protector will work flawlessly with all of Spigen’s cases for the iPhone 12 and/or iPhone 12 Pro. It has an oleophobic coating to help improve fingerprint resistance.

ZAGG Privacy+
This screen protector from ZAGG is exactly the same as the Glass Elite+ offering we mentioned above. That means you’ll get the same ion exchange technology to make the protective accessory even more durable for daily usage. This means it’s 4x stronger than other leading screen protectors. It also has the same anti-bacterial technology infused to cut down on surface bacteria.
What’s different about this, though, is that it’s privacy-focused. It features a two-way filter, which means you’ll be able to see everything on your iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro’s display just fine when looking at it straight on, but the content will be shrouded when viewed from the side.
